The world has turned into Hell's Game, why should I stay human? Chapter 1383 840: Liu Zheng: Watch Closely, Learn Well

"Gaba!"

The Extreme Fury Asura let out a roar, its fingertip slicing open its own chest.

Scorching blood poured forth, rapidly filling the Gaba Bowl and submerging the Dharma Image of the Treasure King within.

At this instant, the nine Mani Pearls within the Gaba Bowl began to glow. The light pierced through the blood, converging into a crimson-golden radiance that streamed directly into Liu Zheng's mind.

He witnessed it all.

He saw the girl's mixture of fear and elation upon being chosen as Ming Fei.

He saw the Master's wicked grin, a look of pleasure as he tormented the girl.

He saw the girl's bewilderment and happiness at the birth of her first child.

He saw the girl's rage and agony as they were transformed into various Magic Artifacts.

"Please, Buddha, leave at least one for me, or I cannot possibly go on,"

She desperately pleaded.

"In that case, all of you may go and worship the Treasure King."

The Master's voice was filled with mock compassion.

"The way of man is to take from the insufficient and add to the surplus."

Liu Zheng grasped the profound meaning conveyed by the artifact's declaration.

"Sir, we accept our fate. Let us die."

The girl and her nine children knelt before him.

This existence had become unbearable, even in this transformed state.

"It's not a holiday, why are you bowing? You won't even get any New Year's money from me."

Liu Zheng let out a cynical laugh.

He didn't owe any New Year's money, but what he had lost far surpassed that meager sum.

"All this time, not even a single bowl could be broken, despite me spending a billion on you. Now, grant me control of your body and step aside."

Liu Zheng's diminished spiritual power began to permeate the artificial body.

He wasn't truly incapable of controlling the Extreme Fury Asura when it went berserk; he simply hadn't made a serious effort to defend himself earlier.

Now that the Extreme Fury Asura was faltering, he had to step in and rectify the situation himself.

Furthermore, the Extreme Fury Asura offered no resistance, readily allowing Liu Zheng to assume control.

The very first action Liu Zheng took upon regaining command of the body was to retrieve the "Rough Razor."

With a swift flash of the blade, his hair and eyebrows were instantly shaved down to nothing.

"The 'Rough Razor' effect has been activated. Player's All Attributes have been boosted. Duration: three minutes."

The system's notification chimed.

"Not bad, wasn't unlucky after all."

Liu Zheng arched an eyebrow.

He hadn't expected the second effect not to trigger, though mutated hair wouldn't have significantly impacted him anyway.

"Watch closely, and learn well."

Liu Zheng flung the Gaba Bowl into the air. Then, raising "Anger," he struck with the force of the wind.

The Treasure King glared, a Wisdom Umbrella unfolding in its hands, casting a shadow over the sky.

This was no longer merely the Gaba Bowl's power; the Treasure King's true essence had projected its Mana across the expanse.

Such a treasure was capable of defending an entire domain within the Tibetan Domain. Not only could it repel destructive forces, but even a mere glance from malevolent spirits would be suppressed.

Even in terms of quality, a Legendary-grade Gaba Bowl stood a tier above a Perfect-grade Legendary delivery man jacket.

However, this occurred within Metropolis.

The Legendary delivery man had been born here and met his end here; his power was intrinsically tied to Metropolis.

Therefore, he could never defeat Metropolis itself. Yet, within Metropolis, he was perpetually invincible.

True damage is the most genuine form of damage.

"Pop!"

The Gaba Bowl split cleanly in two, falling to the ground and shattering into countless pieces.

The girl and her nine children bowed towards Liu Zheng, their forms silently consumed by the blazing anger and reduced to ash.

"Alas~"

Liu Zheng let out a long, drawn-out sigh.

"My Legendary Equipment is gone just like that."

He remarked, his tone leisurely.

"Roar!"

The Extreme Fury Asura bellowed within his mind.

"What are you planning this time? I'm warning you, don't cause any more trouble."

Liu Zheng issued a stern warning but, nonetheless, relinquished control of the body back to it.

"Buzz! Beixia Wanya! Suoha!"

The Extreme Fury Asura chanted the Treasure King Heart Mantra, and the Great Dharma Wheel atop its head began to spin anew, casting its light upon the scattered remnants of the Gaba Bowl.

As it continued its chanting, the fragments on the ground gradually coalesced, reforming into a single Mani Pearl.

Liu Zheng retrieved the Mani Pearl, and its item description immediately materialized before him.

"Name: Vishamantian Blessed Mani Pearl"

"Type: Equipment"

"Quality: Excellent"

"Effect One: Slightly increases player's Luck Value when equipped."

"Effect Two: After performing a ritual to worship Vishamantian, the player can ascertain the next period of relatively high fortune. Cooldown: 24 hours."

"Remark: It is advised not to use this in front of Buddhist sect members, especially Vishamantian himself."

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

"A Legendary item has degraded to Excellent... Well, its effects are still quite practical."

Liu Zheng promptly stored the Mani Pearl within his System Space.

The statement was quite clear; if the people of the Buddhist sect were to discover this item, dire consequences would surely follow, making it best to keep it hidden when not in use.

"My apologies, Tomb Guardian sir, for I have taken your possession."

He inhaled deeply before kneeling before the Tomb Guardian, his apology spoken with genuine sincerity.

"It has already been taken."

The Tomb Guardian corrected Liu Zheng's phrasing.

"This..."

"Worry not, for it is quite accustomed to punishment."

The Tomb Guardian understood his apprehension.

"Very well, then."

"This is what you desired."

With a toss, the Tomb Guardian handed him an object.

Liu Zheng seized it and examined it; it was a piece of meat, still attached to skin.

The meat's surface had a dark red hue, interspersed with peculiar green splotches. Touching these spots, he found they didn't quite resemble mold or hair, feeling slippery yet distinct under close examination.

Liu Zheng brought the finger that had made contact with the meat closer to his nose, unexpectedly detecting a subtle, pleasant aroma.

"It doesn't smell foul?"

He expressed his slight astonishment.

"Once boiled into a soup, it will emit a powerful stench. Be sure to save a portion for me; I too am curious about the taste of 'Metropolitan Most Smelly Soup'."
