The world has turned into Hell's Game, why should I stay human? Chapter 1341 819: Delivery Gang's First Full-Scale Operation
Previously on The world has turned into Hell's Game, why should I stay human?...
"I'm back."
Liu Zheng stepped into the lounge.
"Welcome back, meow."
San Huamao scampered over and nuzzled against his leg.
"Didn't go out to deliver food?"
Liu Zheng scooped it up and inquired.
"No, meow. Should I have gone?"
San Huamao replied.
"Not really, it's better for everyone if you don't."
He shook his head.
"Okay, meow."
San Huamao nodded, appearing to comprehend.
With San Huamao cradled in his arms, he settled onto the grass pile and began dialing calls.
His initial call went to Guo Koutangzi, as he hoped to borrow her legacy soup pot, though confirmation was needed first.
"What are you up to?"
The line connected, and Liu Zheng questioned.
"Chopping people."
Guo Koutangzi answered bluntly, amid background noises of yells and shrieks.
"Weren't you planning to open an izakaya? Why are you still doing gangster activities?"
He pressed.
"I'm chopping the guys who did the renovation for the izakaya. They dared to cut corners and replaced Food Fragrance Musk bones with Fragrant Musk bones. They have a death wish!"
Guo Koutangzi fumed.
"Is there any difference between these two bones?"
"Food Fragrance Musk bones absorb food aromas and release a unique scent that stimulates appetite and calms diners' minds."
"Fragrant Musk bones initially work the same but once they've absorbed enough food aroma, they start releasing an intense stench continuously."
"Food Fragrance Musk is a mutant of Fragrant Musk, very rare, and their bones are very expensive, while Fragrant Musk bones are very cheap. These two can't be differentiated by appearance, so some shady renovation teams use Fragrant Musk bones as substitutes."
Guo Koutangzi detailed.
"That's pretty nasty, but it's not worth chopping them to death."
Liu Zheng remarked.
"Those bones were to be ground into powder and plastered in the walls and floors. If I hadn't caught it in time, I would have had to demolish and redo everything."
Guo Koutangzi gnashed out.
"Well, then they deserved to be chopped. But isn't it hard to spot from the surface? How did you find out?"
Curiosity sparked, he wondered.
"Once you boil it in a soup pot, there's no fake ingredient my pot can't detect."
Guo Koutangzi boasted.
"Impressive, truly a legendary soup pot. Speaking of which, I have a small favor to ask."
Liu Zheng swiftly added, seizing the moment she mentioned it.
"What do you want to do?"
Guo Koutangzi grew cautious at once.
"Ahem, have you heard of the Metropolitan Most Smelly Soup?"
He tested the waters.
"You mean the soup that can empty a whole street with just one pot, Metropolitan Most Smelly Soup?"
"I don't know if it's that powerful, but probably, yes."
Liu Zheng affirmed.
"I've heard of it, but never made it. The making process isn't complicated, but the ingredients are extremely demanding. Even at its peak, the Jiwei Group couldn't gather them all."
"Now you have a chance to make up for this regret."
He seized the opening.
"Don't tell me you collected it all?"
Guo Koutangzi queried.
"Hehe, almost. I can get everything else, just need to find the wastewater from the Garbage Processing Plant."
Liu Zheng revealed.
"You don't want me to use the legacy soup pot to help you cook it, do you?"
"Smart, very smart, even Garlic isn't as smart, truly a great revivalist of the Jiwei Group."
He praised lavishly.
"Even if you call me the Supreme Councilman, I won't use the legacy soup pot to cook that for you."
Guo Koutangzi refused flatly.
"It's soup, not something else."
"That's even worse. Something else is at least cleaner than old bandages, rotten meat, and wastewater."
Guo Koutangzi rolled her eyes.
"Can it be cooked in a regular pot?"
Liu Zheng conceded, noting her firm resolve.
"Yes, but the failure rate is higher with a regular pot."
Guo Koutangzi answered.
"This thing can fail too?"
"You can mess up an omelet, let alone making the Metropolitan Most Smelly Soup. These ingredients come from different noteworthy places and have their own characteristics. Making them blend harmoniously in a pot requires not only superb culinary skills but also high-end utensils."
She explained.
"Alright, just do your best. If it fails, I'll collect the materials again."
Liu Zheng sighed resignedly.
"There's a way if you want a one-time success."
Guo Koutangzi offered after a brief pause.
"What way?"
"I know someone whose family has been making stinky dishes for generations and has reportedly successfully made the Metropolitan Most Smelly Soup. He should have the capability to succeed in one go."
Guo Koutangzi suggested.
"How's your relationship with him?"
"Just met a few times, not very close."
Guo Koutangzi admitted.
"Then could you ask for me? The reward is negotiable."
Since the materials for Metropolitan Most Smelly Soup were tough to acquire, pulling it off in one shot would be ideal.
"Okay. Anything else? If not, I'm going back to chopping people."
Guo Koutangzi stated.
"No, that's all. Just remember to clean up well, don't attract the sanitation department."
Liu Zheng teased.
"Oh, if they do come, call me. I have connections in the department."
Concerned about tempting fate, he appended.
"Got it."
Guo Koutangzi ended the call.
After some playtime with the tri-colored cat, Luo Ping rang in.
"Boss, we found the whereabouts of that mother and daughter."
Luo Ping reported.
"Huh? So fast?"
Liu Zheng expressed surprise.
