Liu Zheng smiled faintly.

"Actually, I also don’t really want to know."

Qian Duoduo said awkwardly.

"So, do you agree with the price of forty-four thousand four hundred and forty-four?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Since you’re a friend of his, I guess I have no choice but to give it up."

Qian Duoduo sighed.

Those living off the Garbage Processing Plant can’t afford to offend a Fire Mage, it’s practically suicide.

As long as you’re inside the Garbage Processing Plant, even if everyone on Garbage Street joined forces to go in, they’d be played to death one by one by the Fire Mage. Not to mention the Fire Mage has a good brother, the Wolf Knight.

"Boss Qian, you’re generous."

Liu Zheng gave him a thumbs up.

"By the way, Mr. Liu, do you have storage equipment?"

Qian Duoduo asked.

"I do, why?"

"Oh, that’s good. Things from the Garbage Processing Plant are better kept out of sight, especially since this one’s quite large and could catch the attention of the City Hall."

"Also, try not to take it out frequently once you’ve put it in the storage device, it might stimulate the item to mutate."

"Lastly, many items from the Garbage Processing Plant have side effects that can penetrate storage equipment and even seals."

Qian Duoduo reminded.

"I’ll remember, thanks, Boss Qian."

Liu Zheng nodded.

The deal was done, but Qian Duoduo was not too satisfied.

The business on Garbage Street can’t be said to only open once every three years, and live off the earnings for three years, but it’s not far off.

Although he still made some profit this time, it didn’t quite meet his expectations,

"Mr. Liu, do you want to have a look at anything else?"

Qian Duoduo asked.

"No need, I came just to buy the waste water, I don’t intend to make any unnecessary complications."

Liu Zheng shook his head.

"Rest assured, the item I showed you is definitely top-notch. If I wasn’t able to handle it myself, and knowing that you know the Fire Mage, I wouldn’t recommend it to you."

Qian Duoduo said.

"Oh? Does it have severe side effects?"

He showed a bit of interest.

"That’s right. Its side effect is to destroy one item from the Garbage Processing Plant within its vicinity every day, if nothing’s available, it’ll kill one intelligent creature within its vicinity."

"Although I stored it with a lot of low-grade items, if I can’t sell it eventually, the losses will exceed its value."

Qian Duoduo said with a bitter smile.

"So what’s its function?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"This item hasn’t been Enlightened yet. But rest assured, the more powerful the side effects of an item, the stronger its function, that’s a well-known truth on Garbage Street."

Qian Duoduo guaranteed.

"Will the side effects disappear after Enlightenment?"

"Generally, no."

Qian Duoduo shook his head.

"Then what’s the use of it to me? I don’t have that many items from the Garbage Processing Plant to consume."

Liu Zheng rolled his eyes.

"I can sell you a batch at a low price."

Qian Duoduo immediately said.

"Haha, Boss Qian is really good at doing business, not only dealing with bad assets but also gaining a long-term customer, no wonder you could build such a big building."

Liu Zheng laughed coldly.

"In terms of price, I can offer Mr. Liu the greatest discount."

Qian Duoduo didn’t take the bait.

"How much?"

"Eight hundred thousand, including that item and thirty low-grade items."

Qian Duoduo offered the price.

Consuming one item a day, thirty items are enough for a month.

It’s not outrageous in the short term, but if like Qian Duoduo, it’s unused and unsellable, the cost becomes hard to accept,

"Four hundred thousand."

Liu Zheng halved the price just like before.

"The cost of this item alone is three hundred and fifty thousand, forty thousand is really not doable, I can show you the accounting books if you don’t believe it."

Qian Duoduo said.

"Then fifty thousand, take it or leave it."

Liu Zheng didn’t argue much.

"This... sigh, alright, let’s just say it’s for the sake of our friendship."

Qian Duoduo sighed once more.

"Then let’s make the delivery."

He took out fifty thousand and placed it on the ground,

"Bring out A201. And take out thirty-five low-grade items."

Qian Duoduo spoke into the intercom.

After some rustling sounds, the giant Centipede appeared again, carrying one large and one small box.

The large box was filled with random junk, like a deflated soccer ball, a burnt milk pot, a sweater missing one sleeve, and so on.

The small box contained a hammer without a handle, with a long flat head, one end sharp, the other blunt.

The sharp end was covered with a sticky black liquid like tar, emitting an acrid smell.

"The extra five items are for good reviews."

Qian Duoduo said with a smile.

"Good review, definitely a good review, you deserve to get rich, Boss Qian."

This time, Liu Zheng’s compliment was more genuine.

"Thank you for the praise. Do you plan to perform the Enlightenment here or ask the Fire Mage to do it for you?"

Qian Duoduo asked.

Being cut down thirty thousand, every bit more he can earn counts.

"I’ll ask first."

Liu Zheng then called Sha Jiang.

"Brother Sha, what are you up to?"

The call connected, he asked.

"Fishing right now, I developed a new bait this time, even I find it irresistibly fragrant, I’m sure it’ll be a great catch."

Sha Jiang confidently said.

"I believe in you, you got this. I found a rare item on Garbage Street, can you help me perform Enlightenment?"

Liu Zheng didn’t mince words.

"I can help, but I don’t know how to do Enlightenment."

Sha Jiang scratched his head.

"Huh?"

Liu Zheng and Qian Duoduo were both shocked.

The uncrowned king of the Garbage Processing Plant, the Fire Mage, doesn’t know how to perform Enlightenment on its items? That’s as absurd as a chief surgeon in a hospital not being able to perform surgery.

"Don’t you pick up things in the Garbage Processing Plant?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"I do pick up stuff. But it all depends on fate, you know. If it’s something you’re fated with, you’d naturally know how to use it once you find it. If it’s something you’re not fated with, even after performing Enlightenment, it won’t be yours."

Sha Jiang replied.

"Alright then, I’ll bring it to you later to see if you’re fated with it."

He said reluctantly.

"Sure."

Sha Jiang agreed readily.

"Then I’ll let the Fire Mage check it out first, if not, I’ll come back to ask Boss Qian to help with the Enlightenment."

After hanging up the phone, Liu Zheng told Qian Duoduo.

"Alright, alright, Mr. Liu is always welcome."

Qian Duoduo bowed.

After collecting his items, Liu Zheng left Garbage Street and headed straight for Rose Street, then dove into the sewer.

"Here’s your river mud."

As soon as they met, the Fisherman threw a bucket of sludge at him.

"Thank you, father-in-law. Brother Sha, this is it, help me take a look. Infinite Heavenly Venerable."

Liu Zheng pulled out the hammer head from the Qiankun Ring.

The Fisherman didn’t even have time to get angry before he got distracted by this thing.

"This thing is quite sinister. No good, the sewer is looking over."

The three men suddenly looked up, the ceiling’s pale eyeball slowly opening.

"Quick, put it away."

The Fisherman shouted sharply.

"Infinite Heavenly Venerable."

Liu Zheng ignored Qian Duoduo’s reminder and quickly stored the hammer head back into the Qiankun Ring.

Seeing the pale eyeball gradually close and disappear, the Fisherman finally let out a sigh of relief.

"Where did you get such a dangerous thing this time?"

He asked, glaring at him.

"From Garbage Street, at a guy named Qian Duoduo’s place. He was unwilling to accept my bargaining and insisted on selling me more items, I saw it wasn’t expensive, so I bought some. Do you know him, Brother Sha?"

Liu Zheng replied.

"Don’t know him, haven’t sold there."

Sha Jiang shook his head.

He’s the kind of person who prefers the old over the new, as long as a buyer isn’t ripping him off, he’ll stick to selling there.

"Alright. So what should we do now?"

Liu Zheng asked.

The sewer’s reaction was so intense, Sha Jiang didn’t even have time to appraise it.

"Wait."

The Fisherman gave him a side-eye, then jumped into the Underwater River.

After a while, he came back holding a fish that looked like a scavenger.

"I’ll count three, two, one, and you shove that thing into the fish’s belly. Don’t worry about touching anything, make sure you shove it all the way down, understood?"

The Fisherman instructed.

"Understood."

Liu Zheng nodded seriously.

"Three!"

"Two!"

"One!"

"Infinite Heavenly Venerable!"

Just as the Fisherman pried open the fish’s mouth, Liu Zheng grabbed the suddenly appearing hammer head and shoved it straight into the fish’s mouth.
