Infinity, our Zhongzhou team has a bright future.

Chapter 277 Luo Li: Someone, feed Young Master Zhang some pancakes, not flies!

Because they had agreed to learn the Taixu Sword Qi together, the others didn't keep Zheng Zha waiting for too long.

Once it was past seven in the morning, the remaining people gradually left their rooms and went to the main square.

"Hey, Zheng Zha, are you alright?" Cheng Xiao moved closer to Zheng Zha and kept looking him over, asking if he would suddenly lose control and turn into a dragon-shaped Honkai Beast again.

Having just been tricked by Luo Li and Li Shuaixi, Zheng Zha seized the opportunity, grabbed Cheng Xiao by the neck, pretended to sniff twice, stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, saying, "Brother, you smell so good, can I take a bite?"

"!!!"

Seeing that Zheng Zha's grin didn't seem like a joke, Cheng Xiao struggled desperately while shouting, "Help! Zheng Zha has lost control again! He's going to eat people again!"

What was said in jest was taken seriously by the listener. Zheng Zha exerted force, his arm clamping like an iron vise, making Cheng Xiao feel as if his neck was about to break.

"Explain to me what you mean by 'we're going to eat people again'."

"Ah, this..." Cheng Xiao had no idea before this, and Zheng Zha had no recollection of him eating most of Genoa.

Realizing he had let something slip, Cheng Xiao didn't dare tell Zheng Zha the truth directly, but instead turned his questioning gaze to Luo Li.

"Zheng Zha, release Cheng Xiao first, and I'll tell you why."

While telling Zheng Zha to release Cheng Xiao, Luo Li took out the battle record from the dimensional fragment and handed it to Zheng Zha, advising, "I personally advise you not to press the issue so hard, or you will definitely regret it."

Zhang Jie, who was standing nearby, also advised him that it was best not to watch, and that it was better not to know some things.

Zheng Zha took the battle record, hesitated for a while, and finally, driven by curiosity, decided to take a look since he already had the record.

After watching, Zheng Zha reached out and patted Zhang Jie, asking, "Brother Jie, do you have any more cigarettes? Give me one."

Zhang Jie handed a cigarette to Zheng Zha, lit it for him, and then lit one for himself, exhaling smoke as he said, "I told you not to watch it."

Zheng Zha remained silent, only smoking continuously. After finishing his cigarette, he waved to Zhang Jie, who speechlessly tossed him the entire pack of cigarettes.

Seeing that Zheng Zha couldn't get over the trauma of eating Genoa alive anytime soon, Luo Li had no choice but to personally scold him to wake him up.

"Alright, it's just that you ate Genova. It's not like you actually ate a person. What's bothering you? If you really can't get over it, just pretend you accidentally ate a fly."

Before Zheng Zha could refute Luo Li's words, Zhang Jie couldn't help but complain, "Then they probably ate a lot."

This sarcastic remark made Zheng Zha's slightly improved expression turn even more unpleasant, as if he was about to vomit on the spot.

Seeing this, Luo Li's face turned cold, and she said, "Zhang Jie, if you keep talking nonsense, I'll have Zheng Zha feed you flies in front of everyone, the kind that were just caught from the outhouse."

Zheng Zha, who was already disgusted by Zhang Jie's criticism, immediately said, "Don't wait until next time, I think we should teach him a lesson now!"

Zhang Jie was terrified on the spot. If Zheng Zha really wanted to feed him flies, he would have no way to resist with his current strength.

So Zhang Jie immediately played the emotional card, crying to Zheng Zha, "Zheng Zha, how can you be so heartless! I paid for all the reward points you got for fixing things, and now you're repaying kindness with enmity!"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Zha remembered that there was such a thing, and for a moment he really couldn't bring himself to do it. Seeing this, Li Shuaixi deliberately brought up all sorts of past events, saying, "Zheng Zha, have you forgotten how Zhang Jie used to trick you? Alien was slacking off, and Ju-on deserted at the last minute."

"Holy crap! Li Shuaixi, why are you bringing up those things now?!" Zhang Jie was shocked and quickly got up to run away, but Zheng Zha grabbed his shoulder.

Oh no, I'm really going to get fed to flies now. My lifelong reputation is ruined!

However, to Zhang Jie's surprise, after Zheng Zha caught him, he did not feed him flies, but instead thanked him very sincerely.

"Brother Jie, thank you so much this time! I'll pay you back for all the reward points it cost!"

Zhang Jie was taken aback, then breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hand, saying, "Forget it, we're family... I was wrong about what happened before, consider it my compensation."

Zheng Zha insisted, saying, "One thing at a time. The matter of the alien and the grudge is in the past. Besides, you helped me and Zhan Lan a lot back then."

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to revive Lori, nor would I have been able to understand the rules of the Main God Space so quickly and choose to use reward points to strengthen myself."

At this moment, Zhan Lan also spoke up: "Zheng Zha is right. Brother Jie, in order to protect yourself, you could have let us fend for ourselves, or even deliberately spread false information to mislead us into going to our deaths."

But Brother Jie, instead of doing that, you explained everything about the Main God Space to us in great detail.

That alone is enough for Zheng Zha and me to be grateful to you for the rest of our lives.

Hearing these words, Zhang Jie's eyes welled up with tears. He took a deep drag of his cigarette and waved his hand dismissively, "Alright, alright, that's too cheesy. The reward points aren't urgent; I'll ask you for them when I need them."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Zha stopped insisting and turned to Luo Li, asking, "Now that everyone is here, can we set off?"

"Everyone's here, but there's one more thing to do before we set off, Zheng Zha. How many side quests did you get from your last mission?"

Upon hearing Luo Li's question, Zhang Jie immediately slapped his thigh and exclaimed excitedly, "How could I have forgotten about that? Zheng Zha, you don't have any reward points right now. Let's not talk about reward points; just return the side quest I lent you!"

"I remember back then, Brother Jie, you lent me two D-level side quests. Don't rush, let me ask the Main God first."

Zheng Zha gestured to Zhang Jie not to rush, and that he would reply to him after checking with the main god.

Two or three seconds later, Zheng Zha opened his eyes with a troubled expression and said, "There's a small problem. I only have one complete A-level side quest right now."

"If we want to repay you for those two D-level side quests, we'd have to dismantle B from A, then C from B, and finally D from C. That's too much of a waste."

Zhang Jie waved his hand and said, "That's easy. My telekinesis is currently at level B. You can help me upgrade it to level A. When I come back from the next mission, I'll give you two Bs, two Cs, and one D. How about that?"

Zheng Zha smiled and said, "Then let's leave it at that, but let's skip the D-level side quests. After all, for us right now, D-level side quests are the hardest to obtain, and splitting them with C-level ones would be too wasteful, so let's just forget about it."

Zhang Jie nodded in agreement with Zheng Zha's statement.

"That's true. Well then, I'll take advantage of you a little. I'll ask my sister-in-law to cook some good dishes for you to try another day."
