The world has turned into Hell's Game, why should I stay human?!

He took out a bank card from his sleeve again.

"This card has one million inside, with a password of eight eights. It should be enough for procurement, and the rest is yours. You can control the scale yourself."

Feng Jizi added.

"Rest assured, senior, I have always exceeded expectations in my work and will never skimp or muddle through."

Although Liu Zheng's tone was light, it was incredibly sincere.

"Then I entrust this to you, young friend."

Feng Jizi clasped his hands in respect.

Liu Zheng's arrival was a rare opportunity for them since other people who came to procure either didn't trust them, weren't trusted by them, or both parties simply mistrusted each other.

But Liu Zheng not only had the connection of being someone from the same hometown, he was also willing to mortgage items, and his connections were extensive, making him the perfect candidate for handling this procurement.

"How could I dare?"

Liu Zheng cupped his hands in acknowledgment.

"Please."

Feng Jizi then led him out of the administrative building.

Two forklifts were parked in the open space at the entrance, each loaded with numerous boxes.

"Would the young friend like to check them?"

Feng Jizi proactively offered him two printed procurement lists.

"Let's check the restaurant's. Business is business."

Liu Zheng took the procurement list and said.

"Though young, the young friend is methodical in his work, excellent, excellent."

Feng Jizi grew increasingly fond of him; if it weren't for the age and status disparity, he would have loved to take him as an adopted son.

Liu Zheng held the restaurant's procurement list and opened the boxes, checking the contents bottle by bottle.

Fortunately, all the liquor was identified by the system as items, so he put them into the system space with each batch he checked, which was quite convenient.

After checking the restaurant's liquor, Liu Zheng gathered all the boxes he had procured into his system space.

As long as the container for the items was within a reasonable range, it could be stored, making the system quite user-friendly.

"All checked, no problems."

He said.

"In that case, let me escort the young friend out."

Feng Jizi lifted his sleeve as if to tuck him in.

"Wait a moment."

Liu Zheng gestured to pause him.

"Does the young friend have something else?"

"Is that sleeve a Magic Treasure or a Spell, senior?"

He asked.

"This is a Spell known as the Universe in the Sleeve."

Feng Jizi replied.

"Can I learn it?"

Liu Zheng brazenly asked.

This thing looked way cooler than any system space or Headless Mandarin Duck Pouch.

"Yes, but the young friend must learn to meditate, practice Qi, and master Alchemy and potion-making first. Then, when your cultivation reaches a certain level, you can begin practicing this spell."

Feng Jizi said.

"Then how long does senior think it will take for me to succeed in cultivation?"

He inquired.

"The young friend has excellent aptitude, so you should achieve small success after five hundred years of cultivation."

Feng Jizi glanced at him and said.

"I apologize, let's pretend I never asked."

Liu Zheng decisively gave up.

If it takes five hundred years just to make some achievements, if he could live over five hundred years in the Metropolis, he might as well become the owner or the owner's husband of the Bloody Restaurant.

"The Path of Qi cultivation is indeed a slow and grinding process. The young friend's temperament doesn't suit such forceful training, which could be harmful instead. In the Metropolis with so many diverse societies, cultivation methods are as numerous as stars in the sky. Take your time to find one that suits you. I observe the young friend has a murderous aura, following the Path of Slaughter might suit you well."

Feng Jizi suggested.

"Indeed, several people have told me the same. However, their cultivation methods don't suit me either; they told me to find a blacksmith who can forge weapons using murderous aura."

Liu Zheng stated.

"I can't help with that; although our distillery has many strange folks, we don't have a blacksmith."

Feng Jizi said with a helpless expression.

"It's fine, I'll find one myself. Please, help me get inside."

He gestured with his tentacle.

"Alright."

Feng Jizi swung his large sleeve, and Liu Zheng suddenly felt the world go dark, sun and moon losing their light.

When he saw daylight again, he was already on the street.

"Wow, no wonder they gave me a million, the shopping list is indeed massive."

Liu Zheng flipped open a notebook, filled densely with items for eating, drinking, entertainment, clothing, and living, a total of hundreds of entries.

However, there were no corresponding names behind each entry, whether Feng Jizi had memorized them or there was another list, who knows.

He drove a sports car straight to the "Everything's Here" Trading Company.

There were so many items to procure; it's better to start early.

Mainly because his Perfect Quality items were still held back, and he needed to retrieve them quickly; otherwise, it would be inconvenient for anything else.

By the time he arrived near the "Everything's Here" Trading Company, a clerk spotted Liu Zheng from afar and quickly went to inform the others.

As soon as he got out of the car at the entrance, Hui San hurriedly came to greet him.

"Mr. Liu, your grand arrival has caught us unprepared, please forgive us."

He folded his hands and repeatedly bowed, with an even more courteous attitude than last time.

"Manager Hui is too kind."

Liu Zheng also cupped his hands in greeting.

"Please."

This time, Hui San led him to a new room.

It was smaller than the reception room, but the decor and furnishings were evidently of a higher grade and more homely.

"This is my humble office, cramped and simple, I hope Mr. Liu won't mind."

Hui San said.

"Not at all. Manager Hui's office is bright and elegant, meticulously arranged, truly enviable."

Liu Zheng commented.

Compared to Hui San's office, the lounge looked like a pigsty.

No, it was worse than a pigsty.

"Mr. Liu flatters me, please have a seat. Someone, brew a pot of the new algae tea."

Hui San instructed the entering clerk.

"This algae tea is a rare import from the Deep Sea Empire. While it's not much for steeping, its taste when brewed is exceptional, incredibly fresh and delicious."

Hui San explained.

Brewing tea involves grinding tea leaves into powder, making them into tea cakes. When drinking, you crush the tea, and cook it with scallion, ginger, tangerine peel, mint, dates, and salt.

Some would grind it very finely and cook it into a paste, hence it was also called "eating tea".

Since steeped tea became popular, brewing tea gradually faded out.

But one can't say steeped tea must be tastier than brewed tea; it all depends on personal preference.

The clerk soon brought over a teapot and two tea bowls, pouring a bowl for each.

Liu Zheng glanced over, seeing a large green porcelain tea bowl filled with dark green tea, or rather, tea soup.

Apart from algae, the tea soup contained a bunch of seasonings and dried fruits; if you added some ribs, it would be a killer dish, but unfortunately, you couldn't.

"Indeed, very fresh and delicious."

He sipped the algae tea, clicked his tongue, and nodded.

Sure enough, it tasted just like kelp rib soup, though the rib flavor was a mystery.

"Glad Mr. Liu enjoys it. So what's the purpose of your visit this time?"

Hui San asked.

"Oh, someone entrusted me to help with some procurement, so I came to ask for Manager Hui's assistance."

Liu Zheng handed over the notebook to Hui San.

Hui San opened it and read for a while, his expression gradually relaxing.

Though he was older than Yuan Baoer, Yuan Baoer was now the Family Head of the Yuan Family, far outranking him in status.

Last time, he tried to trick Liu Zheng a little and got an earful from Yuan Baoer. So this time, he was more cautious.

However, if Liu Zheng's requests were too high, it would be tricky for Hui San to handle.

But seeing that most items on the list were common goods, it was manageable.

"Most items on this list we have in our trading company; for those we don't, we can procure from other companies, saving Mr. Liu a wasted trip."

He said after putting down the notebook.

"That's great, what about the price?"

Liu Zheng inquired.

"Since you're family, I'll be straightforward. Does Mr. Liu want to keep costs as low as possible, prioritize quality, or ensure good quality while slightly lowering prices?"

"If it's the first option, I can reduce the total price to below three hundred thousand, and the quality won't be too poor, guaranteed usable."

"If it's the second option, I can keep the total around one hundred ten thousand, ensuring excellent value for quality."

"If it's the third option, I can lower the total to below seventy thousand, with quality exceeding the market average."

Manager Hui laid out the options clearly this time.
