"What are you laughing at!"

Liu Zheng had a bunch of things he wanted to call it, but unfortunately, he couldn't.

Ghost Hand rubbed against his pant leg and crawled away, while he picked up the takeout order from the ground.

Luckily, it was only a little wet and didn't affect the content.

"Dish: Deep-Sea Multi-headed Abalone Sashimi"

"Address: Building 3, Unit 501, Green Oil District"

"Time limit: One hour"

"Huh?"

Deep-Sea Multi-headed Abalone, isn't this the fish money White Feather Chicken gave me last time? The effect seems to simulate a seawater environment.

If that's the case, this time I've really hit the jackpot. After all, I have the "Heart of the Ocean" and "Kunxu Penghu," allowing me to move fast and recover in water, making me ten times harder to kill than on land.

However...

"Boss, what kind of place is Green Oil District?"

Liu Zheng asked.

The name sounds quite dominating.

"You're already getting orders from there this quickly?"

Niu Ma seemed a bit surprised to hear that.

"Is this neighborhood dangerous?"

"Whether it's dangerous or not depends on the situation."

Niu Ma said while glancing at him.

"Well, you barely count as a sheep, so you shouldn't die, at most you'll lose some skin."

"What do you mean?"

Liu Zheng asked, puzzled.

"It's a herbivore community, full of herbivores. If you're a herbivore, the property management's attitude is quite good, but if you're a carnivore, don't expect any good treatment."

Niu Ma said.

"Does Metropolis even have pure herbivores?"

He was very surprised.

He thought all Metropolis residents were okay with both meat and vegetables.

"It's just a division of camps. Besides, even omnivores have preferences. If you like eating grass, it's convenient to live together and buy groceries in bulk, so why not?"

Niu Ma said.

"Makes sense."

"By the way, who's the person who placed the order?"

Niu Ma asked.

"There's no name, just an address, Building 3, Unit 501."

"Oh, I don't know them, so just go deliver it."

Niu Ma waved a hoof.

"You say that as if you'd go deliver it yourself if you knew them."

Liu Zheng rolled his eyes and left the break room.

Opening the food box, inside were neatly sliced pieces of abalone meat.

Although cut from one abalone, because each piece had a head, it seemed like a lot of abalones.

"Name: Deep-Sea Multi-headed Abalone Sashimi"

"Type: Item"

"Quality: Excellent"

"Effect 1: Restores a small amount of stamina."

"Effect 2: After consuming, the player will be considered to be in a seawater environment for 5 minutes."

"Note: Every bite tastes of the sea."

"Can it be taken out of the instance: No"

"Because it doesn't have the 'Exploding Juice' prefix, it dropped a level, huh?"

Liu Zheng pouted.

However, since it's a free item, if it drops a level, so be it. Well used, five minutes can accomplish a lot.

Putting the food box into the Legendary Takeout Box, he left the restaurant.

Soon, Liu Zheng drove to the outside of the clinic.

After greeting the Sphinx, he walked into the clinic.

"This is the game console that Hobbit gave you, and this is the passion outfit from 'Gaga Happy' bathhouse."

Doctor Nile handed him both items.

"Where did this little thing come from?"

He curiously asked, looking at the small person on Liu Zheng's shoulder.

"It's a supervisor, making sure I don't use its master's blood for bad things."

Liu Zheng poked the little person.

The little one brushed away his tentacle with disdain.

"It's quite strong. One day, I'll borrow you from your master to dig sewage in the sewers."

Liu Zheng said, chuckling.

"!"

The little one showed a horrified expression.

"Haha. By the way, Doctor, how's that grass taste?"

He asked as his gaze swept over the pile of grass by the wall.

"I don't know, I've never eaten it. Niu Daji."

Doctor Nile called out.

"Coming, coming."

Niu Daji ran out from the inner room.

"Boss, you're here!"

It exclaimed in surprise and immediately stood next to Liu Zheng.

"Your boss is asking if that grass is tasty."

Doctor Nile said.

"Boss, you want to eat grass? I wouldn't recommend this one. Although it tastes good, the fiber is too coarse and hard to digest. Sometimes it comes out undigested, hurting the sparrow's skin."

Niu Daji said seriously.

"You don't have to be so specific."

Liu Zheng squinted and said.

"I'm not eating it, giving it as a gift."

"Giving it away is easy. Boss, wait a moment, I'll go out and buy it for you, guaranteed quality."

Niu Daji volunteered.

"Oh, do you have some special channel?"

He raised an eyebrow.

"Hehe, while running errands for the doctor, I found a vegetable store. They also sell fodder by the way. Although it's a bit pricey, the taste is really good."

"Last time I bought a lot for my family, my mom and the others all loved it. Too bad I can't eat it now."

Niu Daji said regretfully.

Its perception is still in a chaotic state, and now that fodder tastes even worse than the walls of a sewer.

"Then let's go, I'll go with you. Let's go, Doctor."

Liu Zheng greeted and left the clinic with Niu Daji.

Under the guidance of Niu Daji, he came to the entrance of a shop.

The store's facade wasn't big, like those small convenience shops at the entrance of neighborhoods.

The interior space was also very efficiently used, shelves next to shelves, boxes stacked on boxes.

"Small Town Vegetables and Fruits."

Liu Zheng read the shop's name.

"Is the owner from the countryside?"

There shouldn't be a subdivision like 'Small Town' in the urban area.

"I don't know, boss, I'll ask later and see."

After getting out of the car, the two walked into the store.

"Niu Da is here, what do you want to buy today?"

The store owner, who was lying on a deck chair watching TV, immediately stood up and said enthusiastically.

"Niu Da..."

Liu Zheng gave Niu Daji a strange look.

Good thing it's not Niu Er, otherwise, it wouldn't be very auspicious.

"My boss wants to buy some fodder, just bring out your best fodder for him to choose from."

Niu Daji didn't notice Liu Zheng's look and said boldly.

"Alright."

The store owner heard the tone and knew it was a big business, immediately springing into action and going into the storeroom at the back.

Before long, he came out pushing a cart.

On the cart were more than a dozen baskets, each containing a type of fodder, both fresh and dried.

"Would you like me to introduce them to you?"

The shopkeeper asked attentively.

"No need. Niu Da, how about this fodder?"

Liu Zheng looked at Niu Daji.

"Boss, they all smell super bad, so they must be good fodder."

After a strong sniff, Niu Daji said.

"How is it bad? Clearly, they're all very fragrant."

The store owner wouldn't have it.

"Owner, you don't know, my sensory perception is off lately. What used to smell fragrant now smells foul, and what used to taste sweet now tastes bitter."

Niu Daji said with a bitter face.

If it were just reversed senses it would be fine, but the key issue is that the delicious things have become inedible, and the bad-tasting things haven't all become good.

"That's quite unfortunate."

The store owner said sympathetically.

"Then give me a hundred pounds of each kind, delivered to the front gate of Green Grass Community. Niu Da, ride along in the car."

Liu Zheng instructed.

"Alright!"

"Okay, boss."

The two replied in unison.

"By the way, owner, are you also from outside the city?"

He asked casually.

"No way, my family's been city folks since my great grandfather's generation."

The store owner said proudly.

"Then why is your shop named 'Small Town Vegetables and Fruits'?"

"Oh, that's because my surname is Zhen (Town)."

The store owner replied.

"What's your full name?"

Liu Zheng asked further.

"My full name is Zhen Dongxi."

"...Make sure you never engage in shady contracts or scam people in the future."

He kindly reminded.

"Why?"

The store owner asked, puzzled.

"No reason, just trust me on this."

"Okay."

The owner nodded, somewhat understanding, somewhat not.

Actually, even without Liu Zheng's warning, he wouldn't do such things.

The business of loan sharking is deep water, and as a vegetable and fruit shop owner, he wouldn't dare compete with those in the underworld or fairies.

"Oh, and pick out the best fruits and vegetables, a hundred pounds of each as well, and deliver them to Green Grass Community together."

After giving instructions, Liu Zheng drove himself to the Old City District.
