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

He glanced at his phone; it was about time.

"Let's go, oww."

Liu Zheng greeted and drove to the Du Kang Wine Workshop.

"Ring, ring!!!"

Halfway there, his phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Boss!"

As soon as the call connected, Niu Daji's loud voice boomed in his ear.

"Listening to that voice, you seem to be recovering well."

Liu Zheng poked his ear and said.

"Hehe, I'm all better now, even in better shape than before."

Niu Daji laughed.

"I'm here busy and on the go, while you're having fun at home. Get your butt back here to help."

He laughed and scolded.

"Okay. Boss, where should I meet you?"

Niu Daji asked.

"How long will it take you to get back?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"I can borrow 'Gaga Shuang's' carriage, should take about half an hour."

Niu Daji thought for a moment and said.

"Then come directly to Yunmeng Road, Du Kang Wine Workshop to find me."

"Okay, Boss."

After hanging up, he drove straight to the Du Kang Wine Workshop.

After waiting for ten minutes, a large truck drove up from the other side of the street.

The truck slowly stopped near the Du Kang Wine Workshop, and someone got out from the passenger seat. It was the guy who served them tea at Hui San's office.

"Hello, Mr. Liu."

The guy greeted.

"Hello. Is this the order I placed?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Yes. Shall we unload now?"

"Go ahead."

He nodded.

"Okay. Unload!"

The guy shouted, and the truck's back door opened.

A group of oddly-shaped but strong mice jumped out of the compartment and began dividing tasks to move the goods.

"Are these your own employees or from a freight company?"

Liu Zheng asked curiously.

He couldn't help his curiosity. These mice looked too bizarre.

They looked like mice, but each had some human traits, and they walked upright, using their limbs skillfully.

But to say they were rat-people, these features were just as bizarre. For instance, one paw was half a mouse paw, the other half fingers, as if they were pieced together from a puzzle.

"These are all descendants of our Hui Family. Some are born with defects, others went wrong during cultivation, turning out this way."

"Although they look ugly and their intelligence has degenerated, they're still blood-related, so they still need a mouthful to eat. Fortunately, they are strong and mild-tempered, suitable for odd jobs and labor."

The guy explained.

"I see."

Liu Zheng nodded, not asking further.

With the mice bustling about, it only took twenty minutes to unload all the goods.

"Please check the goods, Mr. Liu."

The guy said.

"Sure."

"Boss!"

He took out a notebook to check, and saw Niu Daji running towards him from afar, shouting.

"Boss, hehe."

Niu Daji ran wildly to him, chuckling a few times.

This time, Liu Zheng made him shine in front of his family. When he went to borrow 'Gaga Shuang's' carriage, Yuan Baoer didn't hesitate to have her driver take him, giving a huge boost to his vanity.

Though he hadn't learned sayings like "A gentle heart is touched by a benefactor," his esteem for Liu Zheng as his boss grew even more.

"What are you grinning about? Hey you, do you have an inventory list?"

Liu Zheng glared at him and asked the guy.

"I do, Mr. Liu."

The guy took out a photocopy of the inventory list.

"Let me borrow it, thanks. You're just in time to help me audit the goods."

He handed the inventory list to Niu Daji and instructed.

"Yes, Boss."

With Niu Daji's help, Liu Zheng quickly completed the inventory.

"No issues."

He returned the inventory list to the guy and nodded.

"Alright, Mr. Liu, we'll take our leave now."

The guy saluted and then directed the truck to leave.

"Don't move or speak in a bit."

Liu Zheng reminded, then knocked on the door plaque of the wine workshop.

Very soon, Feng Jizi appeared at the entrance.

"You've completed the procurement so quickly, my young friend?"

He looked at the heap of goods not far away, somewhat shocked.

"Are you complaining that I'm too fast, elder?"

Liu Zheng laughed.

"Not at all. It's just that usually this procurement takes half a day when one goes out, sometimes even two to three days before returning. Compared to that, your efficiency is truly extraordinary."

Feng Jizi shook his head and said.

"I entrusted it to a friend who owns a trading firm to help me source goods from the entire city, that's why the efficiency is so high."

He explained.

"I see. Who might that be?"

Feng Jizi looked towards Niu Daji.

"That's my brother. Daji, greet the elder."

Liu Zheng called out.

"Hello, elder!"

Niu Daji bowed and said loudly.

"Good, good. Would you and your brother step aside, lest I accidentally include you in the loading?"

Feng Jizi said.

"Hmm... Daji, step aside."

Even though he found the words a bit odd, Liu Zheng still stepped aside.

Feng Jizi's long sleeves billowed, and an overwhelmingly strong suction suddenly emerged, sucking all the goods inside.

"My young friend, please wait a moment, I will be right back."

He put down his sleeves and said.

"No worries, elder, go ahead."

Liu Zheng said generously.

Feng Jizi clasped his hands in a salute and then turned and went into the wine workshop, taking half an hour before he emerged.

"My young friend, nowadays can one million really buy so many good items?"

He asked, a bit confused.

They had bought the same items before, and though one might not say there was a world of difference, it was indeed not in the same league as what Liu Zheng acquired.

"Oh, you certainly can't, even if the procurement department didn't take a penny, you still couldn't manage."

Liu Zheng chuckled.

"You've been very considerate, my young friend."

Feng Jizi sighed.

"A drop of kindness should be repaid with a flood of gratitude. Since the elder treats me with benevolence, I repay him like a crow feeding on the parent."

"Very good, very good. Ah, these are your belongings, returned in full."

Feng Jizi handed him back his items.

"Thank you, elder. By the way, elder, can I use my leftover procurement quota next time?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Normally that wouldn't be possible, but since you helped us procure goods, I can use this as an excuse to negotiate with the finance department and keep your quota until next time."

Feng Jizi blinked playfully.

The logistics team is logistics, and the finance team is finance. Although procurement surely has to give finance some face, being entirely ungreedy is impossible.

"Thank you, elder."

"Oh, by the way, my colleagues were very satisfied with the goods you procured, and asked me to give you this to express their gratitude."

Feng Jizi took out a box from his sleeve.

Upon opening it, inside was a dried worm.

Liu Zheng received the box, and the item prompt quickly appeared.

"Name: Wine Bug King (one-time use)"

"Type: Tool"

"Quality: Perfect"

"Effect One: Soak the Wine Bug King in alcohol and drink together to massively enhance the effects of the wine."

"Effect Two: Let the target ingest the Wine Bug King, and once it's expelled, consuming it may grant you one of the target's abilities; the greater the target's alcohol addiction, the higher the probability."

"Note: Why fuss over bugs in the wine? Some wines even have feces in them."

"Can it be taken out of the instance: Yes"

"Isn't this gift too valuable?"

He felt a bit indebted.

To put it in perspective, he effectively used ten thousand to buy a perfect quality item, and its effects were so powerful.

"The heavier the gift, the heavier the sentiment. Besides, my kind in the wine workshop have no use for this item. If you feel indebted, just do more for us in the future."

Feng Jizi said.

"Alright, then I'll accept it. Thank you, elders."

Liu Zheng bowed towards the wine workshop.

"Very good, very good. Do you still need to procure alcohol, my young friend?"

Feng Jizi asked.

"Next time, I've run out of money this time."

"Alright, then I'll head back first, young friend, please feel free."

Feng Jizi nodded.

"Sending the elder off."

After sending off Feng Jizi, he looked at the Wine Bug King in his hand.

"Finally, a product that can enhance my strength."

Liu Zheng sighed.

The problem is, who should use it?
