"Boss!"
The moment Liu Zheng stepped into the Clinic, the Delivery Gang members promptly approached.
"Mm. Was the individual handed over?" he inquired.
"Yes, they were sent off. The persons involved escorted her to the vehicle themselves. She even called out to us as she boarded," Niu Daji responded.
"What did she shout?" Liu Zheng asked.
"Something about banks, vaults, and underground money caches. I didn't pay close attention," Niu Daji chuckled.
"Oh, then it's best you didn't listen," Liu Zheng replied nonchalantly.
Whether her words held truth or not, there was no necessity to acquire such details.
With Green Shade Culture, Red Forest Culture, the Lin Family, the Huang Family, and the orchestrator behind the abduction of these mother and daughter now locked in a fierce conflict, he had no intention of becoming entangled.
The target has been delivered, and once the payment is secured, this particular affair will be concluded.
"Tianshi, here is your 200,000. Additionally, I've arranged with the Queen of the Pink Kingdom for you to provide complimentary consultations to her subordinates. Make sure to meticulously document the expenses incurred from these free services and seek reimbursement from me later," Liu Zheng stated, first presenting 200,000 to Bai Tianshi.
"Understood, boss," Bai Tianshi replied, accepting the money.
"Luo Ping, here's your 200,000. Shortly, escort Tianshi to the Pink Kingdom, and after ensuring a proper handover, you may return to school," Liu Zheng continued, handing over 200,000 to Luo Ping.
Bai Tianshi's contributions in combat and healing, coupled with Luo Ping's extensive work on the intelligence front and the life-force cost of his abilities, meant their compensation was balanced.
"Yes, boss," Luo Ping acknowledged, also taking his share.
"Here, this is your 500,000 limit for purchasing Spiritual Medicine. Buy as much as you need. But remember, this is strictly for Spiritual Medicine. You can spend on other things, but don't go overboard, alright?" Liu Zheng handed 500,000 to Panda, offering a reminder.
Unlike Bai Tianshi and Luo Ping, Panda originated from the mountains and, not being human, was more susceptible to the dazzling allure of the metropolis.
"Got it, boss. You're such a worrier," Panda responded happily, tucking the money into a floral cloth bag.
"Da Ji, here's your 200,000," Liu Zheng finally presented Niu Daji with 200,000.
"Boss, I don't require the funds. Serving the gang is my responsibility," Niu Daji declined.
As a prospective third-generation leader, it felt a strong sense of ownership over the Delivery Gang, viewing it as its future; mere money was insignificant in comparison.
Furthermore, accepting payment would blur the lines distinguishing it from others.
This refusal was also influenced by Liu Zheng's past generosity, which included substantial monetary gifts and even purchasing a house for Niu Daji.
"Take it when I offer it. Stop posturing with your high morals," Liu Zheng shot back with a glare.
Niu Daji flinched slightly but accepted the money with a chuckle.
"Alright, you're all dismissed. Go about your business or take a stroll if you wish."
After seeing everyone off, Liu Zheng turned his attention to the stout figure lingering in the corner.
"Xia Kai, is that correct?" Liu Zheng addressed him.
"Yes, yes, it's me, boss! You remembered me?" Xia Kai exclaimed, a pleasant surprise evident on his face.
"Alright, we've fought side-by-side before, no need for formalities. Have a seat," Liu Zheng said, guiding Xia Kai to the round table.
"Doctor, could you fetch some beer? I haven't had any water all morning; I'm parched," Liu Zheng called out.
"Treating my clinic like a tavern, are we? Xiao Mei, add some extra Holy Arrow to his drink," Doctor Nile's voice echoed from the inner room.
"Right away, Doctor," the cleaner responded. Moments later, she emerged carrying two large mugs of honey beer.
"You didn't actually put Holy Arrow in there, did you?" Liu Zheng asked, a hint of caution in his voice.
"Of course not! The doctor was just teasing you," the cleaner replied with a laugh.
"Tsk, I wouldn't put it past him. Alright, head on inside. Also, please tell the doctor to keep Sasha in the back for now; there are some conversations best kept private," he instructed.
"Understood, sir," the cleaner nodded, glancing at him discreetly before retreating inside with the tray.
"Come, let's drink," Liu Zheng raised a wooden beer mug towards Xia Kai.
"Cheers! Take your time," Xia Kai replied, adopting the respectful demeanor of a junior accompanying his mentor, and downed the entire mug of beer in one go.
"Burp~"
Fortunately, honey beer has a low alcohol content, preventing him from becoming completely inebriated. He merely let out a loud, prolonged belch.
"Ugh, the smell! It's like you crawled out of a sewer after a banquet," Liu Zheng grimaced, waving the air in disgust.
"Hehe, apologies, boss. My stomach's a bit unsettled," Xia Kai mumbled, covering his mouth.
"Never mind that. Which instance is this for you?" Liu Zheng inquired.
"The sixth one," Xia Kai answered.
"Impressive."
In Liu Zheng's experience, surviving six instances marked an individual as a seasoned player.
"No, the instances I've experienced were quite simple, nothing like you'd expect. Moreover, the difficulty of Hell's Game instances isn't particularly high; it's quite common for players to clear more than ten instances." Xia Kai explained quickly. "...Then what do you call mine?" Liu Zheng responded, somewhat speechless. "Yours is considered exceptionally bizarre based on the instances I've heard about." Xia Kai answered truthfully. "Damn it, I knew it." He couldn't help but curse. Despite knowing his novice trial was unusual, receiving confirmation from Xia Kai still caught him off guard. "System, screw you!" Liu Zheng raised his middle finger towards the void where the system resided. "Boss, you're amazing!" Xia Kai gave a thumbs-up. He also felt like cursing the system but lacked the courage. "You just said 'bizarre,' so there are even crazier ones, right?"
