Free Web NovelChapter 259: Chapter 193: How Much Is the Budget Approved?
In a society like Valve City, where material desires are rampant, lawyers may not be the richest, but they are definitely the most knowledgeable.
What situation haven’t they encountered?
Wanting to deposit Netherworld Currency into a bank to increase savings but causing a malfunction in the bank’s recognition system, breaking into a house only to have one’s head stuck and tearfully calling the police themselves, pretending to be a beautiful woman to video chat naked with a former boss and then demanding overdue wages...
However, if Lawyer Hao hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he would never believe that someone like him could directly discuss the death compensation with the deceased face to face.
After almost finalizing the terms of the compensation, Lawyer Hao pursed his lips and said seriously:
"This... sir, if the content is all right, please have your parents sign it. Your own signature, from a legal standpoint now, might... maybe... probably be invalid because, legally speaking, you’re a dead person.
Though, I don’t mean to offend you. Your situation is definitely not your problem; it’s a problem with the law itself.
As a legal practitioner, I will definitely apply to propose changes to the law in the future."
While Lawyer Hao was seriously discussing with Mr. Deceased how to wake his parents without causing cardiovascular problems, Sang Biao was squatting under a streetlamp outside the community, showing off spicy sticks, watching tired men and women in suits occasionally pass by, feeling a sense of idle joy...
"Hey brother, can I have one?"
Suddenly, a man appeared next to Sang Biao. You could say he just got off work, judging by the extremely fine suit he’s wearing and the polished shoes, exuding an air of urban elite. Yet at odds with that, he wore frog-eye glasses and beach shorts, displaying a free-spirited demeanor.
More importantly, Sang Biao felt a strong sense of threat from this person.
This man is not ordinary.
He possesses extraordinary power similar to his own.
This was the first Extraordinary Sang Biao encountered since coming to this world.
He hadn’t been in this world long, and his powers hadn’t yet recovered!
A foe?
A friend?
If he’s from the Extraordinary Universal School, whether or not he could take him now, he should at least spit at him.
But regardless of being an enemy or a friend, offering a spicy stick wouldn’t hurt.
"Help yourself, it’s a bit spicy."
"Would it still be a spicy stick if it weren’t spicy?"
I Have Read it drew out a spicy stick and, imitating Sang Biao, squatted under the streetlamp, enjoying the spicy stick.
"Want another one?"
"Then I won’t hold back."
As they shared the spicy sticks, Sang Biao’s wariness gradually dissipated.
After all, someone licking spicy stick residue off their fingers can’t possibly be a bad person, right?
It seemed the local Extraordinary people here were quite friendly and probably not from the Extraordinary Universal School.
In his original world, that school constantly plundered resources and consumed the world’s vitality before it perished.
"Brother, sorry for finishing your spicy sticks."
After licking the spicy oil off his hands, I Have Read it stood up, rummaging through his belongings, found a gourd, shook it, and from it, a small elixir fell out.
"Brother, want one?"
Sang Biao looked at I Have Read it, then at the elixir in his hand, wearing a strange expression.
This local Extraordinary wouldn’t think just because they shared a pack of spicy sticks, he’d trust him enough to casually eat something unknown, right?
But this elixir smells so good.
He really wanted to take a bite.
Nonetheless, no matter how many good things the other party takes out, until he fully understands the background, Sang Biao would definitely resist the temptation with strong willpower.
Who is he?
He is the King of Zombies in his original world, a strong-willed survivor who crawled out of a sea of corpses and blood...
Eh?
Sang Biao suddenly noticed his hand seemed to have a mind of its own, how did it grab that elixir?
Hmm?
And how did his mouth become so independent, opening on its own?
Stop!
No!
He hadn’t figured out the other person’s background yet!
But before Sang Biao could muster his invincible willpower, the elixir given by I Have Read it ended up in his mouth.
As soon as the elixir entered, it melted, and a stream of energy began to flow within Sang Biao, eventually merging at his forehead, making him unconsciously hum with pleasure...
"Oh~ Ah~~"
Sang Biao felt his usually dormant spiritual power starting to awaken.
Since arriving in this world, he could utilize his power to resurrect the dead, but these revived individuals often had their own thoughts.
His spiritual power could not control them at all.
However, now, after swallowing one elixir, even though he couldn’t control the will of the deceased, controlling their bodies was no problem.
He thought he should give it a try...
After the client transferred two million to the parents’ account of Mr. Deceased, Lawyer Hao felt a sense of relief.
Go!
Get moving now!
Finally, it was over.
In the future, if he ever takes on a death case again, he’d be an idiot! freewebnσvel.cøm
As Lawyer Hao stood up, he saw Mr. Deceased in front of him smiling, remove his head, and effortlessly perform a shooting motion.
The head, following a perfect arc, precisely landed into Lawyer Hao’s arms.
Lawyer Hao looked at the head in his arms: "..."
Mr. Deceased: "Lawyer Hao, if I said I didn’t do it on purpose, would you believe me?"
Lawyer Hao: "..."
Before long, Sang Biao and I Have Read it saw Lawyer Hao sprint past them so fast it seemed sparks flew from the ground.
The air only held a little trace of rising dust.
Sang Biao: "Brother, I’m called Sang Biao, what’s your name?"
I Have Read it: "Sang Biao, you can call me I Have Read it, I belong to the Hidden Cultivation Association in this world."
Sang Biao: "I Have Read it, that elixir just now must’ve been precious, right? No need for pretense, why help me restore my power?"
"What help are you talking about? We’re all birds of a feather...
We’re all miserable survivors from a world that’s been destroyed.
However, that elixir, you shouldn’t thank me but my good brother, the Milk Tea Master, who gave it, I’ll introduce you when we have a chance."
"Is the Milk Tea Master also a survivor from a destroyed world?"
"Not really, he’s a native, a Superpower User with strong support abilities..."
...
Being the "support" I Have Read it mentioned, Lin Hao was experiencing a bit of joyful trouble.
The joy was that in River Debris City, there were no more obstacles to promoting Happy Milk Tea. After strict review, the city’s Budget Consultant approved the budget...
The trouble was...
The budget was approved 100%.
If it really followed the Budget Consultant’s approval, from now on, River Debris City might as well be renamed Milk Tea City.
Looking at the outcome given by the Budget Consultant, Lin Hao twitched his mouth, wow, is "human relations" so effective?
Accepting favors and actually delivering results, but isn’t this too overboard?
The Procurement Minister glanced at Li Chuchu and Lin Hao, and then at the always-accurate Budget Consultant. After hesitating for a while, he tentatively said:
"Our Budget Consultant seems a bit broken; I’ll check it."
Saying that, the Procurement Minister stepped forward and tapped the Budget Consultant’s shell.
Thump thump thump.
"Budget Consultant, are you broken? Do you need maintenance?"
Being a living contained object procured from Valve City, the Procurement Minister thought this direct approach was the most effective.
The next second, a spray of steam from the Budget Consultant sent the Procurement Minister flying, which could be considered a strong response.
—I’m fine, you know.
