Chapter 1412: Chapter 854: Legendary Deliveryman’s Bloody Underpants_2

"You better come back and take charge."

The masked woman said helplessly.

"Did he really say the First Group?"

The Gambling Snake returned to the main topic.

"Yes, that’s what Yamei heard."

The masked woman said.

"Do you think it’s highly likely?"

The Gambling Snake asked again.

"I think it’s very likely. Judging from their style of action and the conflicts of interest, this looks very much like something the First Group would do. And the credibility of that deliveryman has always been good; he probably investigated thoroughly before telling Shi Yidao."

The masked woman replied.

"Hmm, then you should go to Diagonal Alley and invite a mage to step in. It seems I really need to hurry back, or I’ll miss a good show."

The Gambling Snake said after considering for a moment.

"Yes, Lord Gambling Snake."

The masked woman respectfully responded.

The small snake, which had been continuously vibrating, quieted down again and quickly turned back into a cluster of Blood Pearl.

-----------------

Meanwhile, Liu Zheng arrived at Rose Street and saw the French Plane Tree drinking with the Ginseng Sprite.

The Ginseng Sprite wobbled with a bottle taller than herself, flushed from head to toe, looking even more cheerful than a New Year’s picture doll.

Liu Zheng quickly walked over, snatched the bottle from the Ginseng Sprite’s hands, and replaced it with a cup of Yangzhi Ganlu.

"It’s one thing to drink solo, but you’re leading a child astray."

He glared at the French Plane Tree, who was slurring her words, equally inebriated.

"She...she’s a few hundred years older than both of us combined."

The French Plane Tree stammered.

"Doesn’t matter, now that she’s in human form, you count from when she transformed."

Liu Zheng said seriously.

"Tch~"

The French Plane Tree rolled her eyes, her already tilted eyes slanting further.

"Barely escaped death, and you still don’t learn, just drinking and drinking."

He scolded in a tone of frustration.

"What’s there to be scared of? I already acquired a new artifact; as long as it’s within a meter of me, no one can hide their presence."

The French Plane Tree said smugly.

"Plus, having alcohol and not drinking is as good as being dead."

She justified.

"Drink, drink, you might as well drink yourself to death."

Liu Zheng said helplessly.

"But a friend of mine is coming over shortly, so don’t get drunk and act stupid; otherwise, don’t even think of asking me to bring you any more drinks."

He reminded.

"Then don’t arrange to meet people here. This isn’t your reception room."

The French Plane Tree pouted.

"This friend has to meet here. He’s a friend of the Legendary deliveryman, wanting to pay his respects."

Liu Zheng said.

"That guy actually has friends?"

The French Plane Tree’s surprise tilted her face even more.

"Even you have me, so what’s strange about Li having friends?"

He took the opportunity to jab at the French Plane Tree.

"Tch~"

The French Plane Tree’s face was now completely unsightly.

After some banter with the half-drunken French Plane Tree, Shi Yidao finally appeared on the horizon.

He had changed into clean clothes, his stride larger and more confident, covering a few hundred meters within a dozen steps to stand before Liu Zheng.

"You’re here."

Liu Zheng said.

"I am here."

Shi Yidao replied.

"You definitely should come; otherwise, I was just about to call the cops. I’ve got most of my fortune in there."

He joked.

"I have no desire for other people’s property. Returning the original, please verify."

Shi Yidao removed the Qiankun Ring and handed it over with both hands.

Liu Zheng naturally didn’t check, simply wearing it on his index finger.

"Is everything resolved?"

He asked.

"Debts owed have been repaid, now it’s time to collect debts. If anything happens to me, where should I send the person?"

Shi Yidao asked.

"Send them here, or call me to pick them up."

Liu Zheng tore a page of paper, writing down the address of the Clinic and his phone number.

"Alright. Where is Li?"

Shi Yidao asked again.

"Honorable Mr. Delago, please bring Li out."

He said to the French Plane Tree.

"No."

The French Plane Tree had no intention to comply.

"Infinite Heavenly Venerable."

Liu Zheng placed a whole case of Unlucky Coffee on the ground.

The French Plane Tree loved not just alcohol, it liked any flavored beverages.

"Hmph."

The French Plane Tree dragged the food box into the Black Soil and unearthed the Legendary deliveryman’s skeleton.

"It’s indeed Li’s remains."

Shi Yidao confirmed the skeleton’s identity at just a glance.

Though not a Hero, the Legendary deliveryman certainly had an infamous legacy.

"Li Sang, here’s some of the wine we drank together back then, please have another drink."

Shi Yidao took out a small bottle of sake from his sleeve, pouring it into the mouth of the Legendary deliveryman. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

"Saying farewell to you, separated like a clam from its shell, as I tread, autumn too withers..."

He murmured while pouring.

"Human, what’s he reciting?"

The French Plane Tree asked curiously.

"It’s a passionate verse, expressing the pain of parting from dear friends or family and the sorrow over the passage of time."

Liu Zheng explained.

"Oh. So you humans aren’t all ignorant after all."

The French Plane Tree begrudgingly praised him.

"Compared to the learned and wise French Plane Tree, I do appear quite ignorant."

Liu Zheng complimented.

"Hmph, of course."

The French Plane Tree said proudly.

"Let Li Sang rest in peace."

Shi Yidao placed the sake bottle into the Legendary deliveryman’s hands and said.

"Alright. Honorable Mr. Delago, please rebury the Legendary deliveryman."

Liu Zheng said.

"Hmph, you didn’t need to say it."

The French Plane Tree rolled its eyes at him and reburied the Legendary deliveryman’s skeleton.

"This is Li Sang’s relic, please accept it."

Shi Yidao handed Liu Zheng a lacquer box he pulled from his sleeve.

Liu Zheng opened the box, revealing a white undergarment with some dark red bloodstains.

"Name: Legendary Deliveryman’s Bloody Underpants"

"Type: Equipment"

"Quality: Excellent"

"Effect One: After equipping, the player’s urge to relieve oneself will significantly increase, and defecating will cause bleeding, permanently reducing all attributes by one each time it occurs, unable to be unequipped once equipped."

"Effect Two: Equipped players can designate a Legendary Deliveryman Set item, allowing its effects to work even outside delivery times."

"Effect Three: Upon use, the player gains a random Legendary Deliveryman Set effect for one hour, after which the item is destroyed."

"Can it be taken out of instance: No"

"Note: So, drinking too much really does make your ass hurt when you wake up..."

"Could it be you two..."

He looked at the item note, then at Shi Yidao, his words hanging.

"I do not indulge in such fetishes. Li Sang bled from eating too many green peppers with mustard."

Shi Yidao explained expressionlessly.

"Got it."

Liu Zheng nodded, not probing further.

Aside from other considerations, the item’s effect is indeed powerful.

Though not able to activate the entire Legendary Deliveryman Set like the previous "Legendary Deliveryman’s Dirty Underpants," the longer duration is a plus.

In fact, any singular effect from the Legendary Deliveryman Set could turn the tide.

However, the downside is dire, with a permanent one-point reduction in all attributes and no way to unequip, too much diarrhea and he’d end up weaker than ordinary humans.

So, this item had to be stored away, not suitable as regular gear, making effect two essentially useless.

Good thing there’s still "Legendary Deliveryman’s Ration Cigarettes," so it’s not a problem yet.

"You wield a blade, yet don’t use it."

Shi Yidao continued.

"Correct."

Liu Zheng admitted honestly.

His swordplay was mostly swinging wildly, with some moves learned from martial arts films.

"I am skilled with a blade but not in teaching others. Moreover, learning requires hard work, not something taught in an instant. However, I do have a method, though it’s quite dangerous. Do you wish to learn?"

Shi Yidao asked.

"How dangerous?"

Liu Zheng inquired in return.
