Liu Zheng waited and waited until 10 in the morning before he finally got an order.

When Ghost Hand crawled into the break room, he was so moved that tears fell from his mouth.

"!"

Ghost Hand was so scared by his appearance that it didn't dare to come over.

"Cough, cough."

Liu Zheng quickly put away his hungry look and waved it over.

Ghost Hand hesitantly walked over, dropped the takeout order, and immediately turned to run.

"Am I that scary? With its power, what could I do to it?"

He said speechlessly.

"You humans can stomp a tiger or a cockroach to death with one step, but don't you still scream when you see them? You can't eat it, but if you lick it, that would disgust it for half a year."

Niu Ma mocked while speaking.

"I'm not that hungry yet."

Liu Zheng rolled his eyes and picked up the takeout order from the ground.

"Dish: Boiled Elephant Trunk"

"Address: Room 6037, Beijing Building"

"Orderer: Manager Huang"

"Time limit: One hour"

"Elephant trunk, and boiled at that..."

He felt his appetite wasn't so strong anymore.

"Boss, lend me the Memorial Medal for a moment, would you?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Why?"

"I just had a fight with the Security Department, and it's my first order after coming back from vacation. I'm a bit uneasy."

He said frankly.

"If you're uneasy, just take my Life-saving Talisman. Who's the boss here, you or me?"

Niu Ma rolled his eyes.

"Of course, it's you. It's the little brothers who need life-saving talismans. The boss is the one who takes others' lives."

Liu Zheng said with a cheeky grin.

"Now you're going for my life. Pay up!"

Niu Ma glared at him and held out a hoof.

"Alright, alright."

He took out a stack of bills and placed it on Niu Ma's hoof.

"So much trouble just for a takeout delivery."

Niu Ma grumbled while spitting out the Memorial Medal.

"Well, I'm off to deliver this takeout."

Liu Zheng said a farewell and walked out of the break room.

After confirming the food was correct, he called the Driver to rent a car.

"Want to eat some peacock meat?"

Liu Zheng suddenly thought as he walked in the delivery tunnel.

This thing definitely wasn't for Doctor Nile and them; throwing it away seemed a waste. Feeding it to the delivery tunnel seemed more fitting.

Anyway, a peacock couldn't possibly make it into the delivery tunnel.

The delivery tunnel didn't speak; it merely wrapped itself around him silently.

"Really want to eat, huh."

Liu Zheng chuckled, took out the braised peacock meat from the Legendary Takeout Box, and stuffed it directly into the wall.

A moment later, the wall released him, and there was a piece of "meat" in his hand.

The "meat" was small, only about a finger joint in size, but still precious.

Liu Zheng hesitated for a moment, but still shoved the "meat" into his mouth.

There was still some way to go to Jidao Public Bath; he had offended too many people, so it was best to recover some strength.

The taste of the "meat" was similar to normal meat, just more pure, without any fishy, musky, or muttony scents or other flavors.

His strong stomach quickly digested and absorbed the "meat," and with a tingling sensation, his body reverted to the size of a primary school student.

"Thanks."

Liu Zheng patted the wall, then walked out of the delivery tunnel.

"Where did you get so much Netherworld Aura from?"

The Driver asked while touching the outer shell of the spirit car.

"Took it to the cemetery for a buffet. Colonel, your car doesn't have a big appetite; it was full after only ten minutes."

He quipped.

"Of course, it's stuffed if you take it to a cemetery. Try taking it somewhere else; even killing 10,000 people wouldn't make it full."

"Then forget it. Why bother when there's the easy option?"

Liu Zheng shrugged.

After chatting for a bit, he drove the spirit car to Jidao Public Bath.

"Wow, such a cute Zheng Chan~"

As soon as Jinzi saw him, her eyes sparkled, and she rushed over to bury him in her chest.

"Let me down!"

Liu Zheng struggled and said.

"Oh, just let me hug you a bit longer. Seeing Zheng Chan like this, my maternal instincts are overflowing."

Jinzi giggled and said.

"Is suffocating kids in your chest the way your family shows maternal instincts?"

He finally took a breath of fresh air and said exasperatedly.

"Hehe, isn't this kind of death enviable too?"

Jinzi blinked.

"I'll think about it when I want to die. Quick, take me to eat. I'm starving."

Liu Zheng urged.

"I know."

Jinzi brought him to the private room again.

"The boss said that from now on, this private room is exclusively yours. All expenses go on his tab."

Jinzi said.

"Oh? Your boss is quite well-informed."

Liu Zheng was momentarily surprised and said with a hint.

Sudden goodwill naturally has sudden reasons; thinking it over, it could only be about the dealings with the Criminal Investigation Bureau.

"In this line of work, of course, we have to be well-informed."

Jinzi said.

"Your boss isn't secretly peeping at me in the bathhouse, is he?"

He suddenly thought.

"Of course not, the boss is really on vacation outside. But he has always kept an eye on the bathhouse's situation."

Jinzi denied it flatly.

"That must be tiring."

Liu Zheng didn't dwell on it, casually said a line, and then focused on eating.

This time, the prepared feast was still a combination of sushi, tempura, and yakitori. Though he didn't know how Jinzi and the others did it, the tempura seemed just freshly fried, crispy and fragrant.

The batter-coated prawn was deep-fried, then dipped in sweet and sour sauce, containing fats, carbohydrates, proteins, and sugars, making it the perfect choice for replenishing stamina.

"Burp~ So satisfying~"

After quickly clearing the food, he stretched comfortably, and his body returned to normal size.
