Tags: Delivering “Retirement Takeout” to Jin Yong’s Heroes
Zhang Ping was thirty-three when he lost the last person in the world he called family.
He returned to his small hometown and started delivering takeout. Then an order appeared on his phone that he couldn’t get rid of: it was from Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, and the customer was Wu Yazi.
From then on, his delivery career took a turn he never could have imagined:
His specialty changed from shredded pork with green peppers to helping heroes face old age with dignity.
Xiao Yuanshan’s postwar trauma, Sweeper Monk’s doubts about Buddhism, Huang Yaoshi’s grief over losing his wife…
The “old-age ailments” that the martial world couldn’t cure all became his orders.
He had no martial arts skills, but the System gave him the most unreasonable defense of all: within three meters, no technique could touch him.
And so the martial world witnessed the strangest sights:
In the Star Valley Sect’s poison formation, he helped Wu Yazi with his rehabilitation exercises.
During the battle at Shaolin’s Mount Shaoshi, he took Sweeper Monk’s blood pressure.
Ouyang Feng roared in fury, “Boy, what exactly do you want?!”
Zhang Ping handed him a pillbox, his voice calm.
“Mr. Ouyang, your ‘Post-Deviation Psychological Counseling Package’ is here. Please sign for it.”
He was just a deliveryman.
But what he delivered was a little peace of mind to the legends of the martial world, when they needed it most.
