CHAPTER 807: CHAPTER 550: RANK HAS ITS PRIVILEGES

"Good afternoon, boss."

Liu Zheng approached Si Xue cautiously, speaking carefully.

"Do you think day and night have any meaning for me?"

Si Xue said nonchalantly.

"No, but greeting you is of great significance to me."

He replied honestly.

Being given the opportunity to greet meant that Si Xue still regarded him as a subordinate.

"Mm. Hmm?"

Si Xue pointed at the corn on the ground.

Liu Zheng understood immediately and sat cross-legged on the ground.

"What brings you to me?"

Si Xue asked.

"I wanted to update you on my work. I’ve negotiated a deal with the Tomb Guardian. I’ll provide high-quality flames, and he’ll arrange for me to enter the tomb with the Nine Dragons Coffin."

He said while peeling the corn.

"Why does he need flames?"

"He says the fire isn’t strong enough, and he’s getting a little bald on top."

Liu Zheng said, touching the top of his own head.

By the numbers, he was quite bald too.

"What kind of nonsense is that?"

Si Xue frowned slightly.

"Boss, you know me. This is the extent of my power; I can’t see the deeper issues either."

Liu Zheng said helplessly.

Si Xue glanced at him but didn’t continue the conversation.

Knowing this human, if she dared to continue, he’d certainly dare to ask for items.

"Haha, the Tomb Guardian also said the higher the temperature, the better. And I thought your flames have such high temperatures, and they’re golden, very impressive, guaranteed to make him howl, so I came to see you."

Liu Zheng said without feeling awkward.

"Do you know there’s a difference between giving and taking?"

Si Xue asked.

"Huh? Boss, what you said is too profound. I didn’t understand."

He scratched his head and said.

"For example, if I attack the Tomb Guardian with flames, he receives the flames, but not completely burnt. Not a big issue because my flames inherently have an anti-crack mechanism."

"But if I actively give him the flames, the anti-crack mechanism would be weakened."

Si Xue explained.

"That’s amazing."

Liu Zheng looked innocently bewildered.

"Metropolis is a place that highly values ceremony; the higher the status, the tighter the ceremonial constraints."

Si Xue said.

"Alright, then I’ll think of another way."

With that, he could only try Red Ghost.

Its power is strong enough that it shouldn’t fear the Tomb Guardian cracking it, and it’s estimated that the Tomb Guardian wouldn’t dare try.

"When did I say I wouldn’t give it?"

Si Xue said.

"Uh, boss, you’ve got me confused."

Liu Zheng said with a bitter smile.

"I can give, but only a little. Where’s the container for the flames?"

Si Xue asked.

"Right here."

He hurriedly took out the pipe.

"A perfectly good pipe, made so disgusting."

Smelling the zombie intestine oil, Si Xue said disgustedly.

"No choice, without a coating layer, it can’t contain flames of such high quality."

Liu Zheng explained.

"Would I not know that?"

Si Xue glanced at him.

"Hehe."

Liu Zheng awkwardly laughed.

"Snap!"

Si Xue snapped her thumb and ring finger, and a flame appeared out of thin air between her fingers.

She flicked her finger, and the flame flew into the pipe’s bowl.

The black intestine oil burnt out a wisp of blue smoke, dispersing into the air.

Liu Zheng accidentally inhaled a bit, and the pungent smell nearly knocked him out.

"That’s it, the rest you’ll have to find someone else for."

Si Xue waved away the stench in the air.

"Okay, boss. But with different flames in the same pipe, it won’t explode, right?"

He was a bit worried.

"Hard to say."

Si Xue shook her head.

"Boss, I’ve followed you for so many days, if nothing else, I’ve worked hard. In the future, I’ll continue to serve you diligently, you wouldn’t want to see me blown up, would you?"

Liu Zheng said pitifully.

"This is the first time I heard someone count following time by days."

Si Xue couldn’t help but mock.

"Though the time is short, my loyalty to you is like the unending sea, vast and boundless, a surge like the flooding of the Underwater River."

He said earnestly.

"Then keep it for yourself; I’m only interested in its head."

Si Xue tapped her toe on the ground lightly, and the earth cracked open, causing a clear spring to gush forth.

"Put the pipe in."

She commanded.

"Alright."

Liu Zheng submerged the pipe into the spring.

"That’ll do."

After a moment, Si Xue said.

He retrieved the pipe and saw that the previously dry corn stalk now had a layer of moist sheen.

"Name: Super Fireproof Corn Pipe"

"Type: Equipment"

"Quality: Excellent"

"Effect: Can absorb and store a massive amount of flames, will be destroyed once storage limit is exceeded."

"Remark: Five-star Migrant Worker Luther once said, this is no longer his pipe."

"Can be taken out of the instance: Yes"

"If it continues to strengthen like this, won’t it turn Perfect Quality?"

Liu Zheng couldn’t help but say.

"You’re thinking too much; its basic material isn’t good enough. Strengthening with Spirit Treasure Lake water to this extent is already the limit."

Si Xue burst his bubble.

"Alright then, what a pity."

He said regretfully.

"You already have enough good stuff on you, don’t be too greedy. Especially considering how quickly you obtained these things, I suspect you’re some kind of luck’s chosen one."

Si Xue said with a complex tone.

If her speed of accumulating Extraordinary Items was as fast as Liu Zheng’s, she would currently be the richest in Metropolis, with a clear advantage over the second.

"Three parts destined by heaven, seven parts through hard work, I always believe that in Metropolis, as long as you work hard, there will definitely be gains."

Liu Zheng said seriously.
