It's a hell game, who can still be a human being?

Chapter 186 Can you cure my ALS?
"Under what circumstances would it take for a black male long-distance runner to achieve a career-best time?"

asked the Sphinx.

"this problem."

Liu Zheng fell into deep thought.

In theory, the more important the competition, the more it can stimulate the athletes' potential and help them break their limits.

But there are also many people who perform better when they are relaxed. For example, it is not uncommon for them to perform better in the Asian Games than in the Olympics.

After all, people's physiques cannot be generalized.

So, the answer "when competing in the highest-level tournaments at the Met" is clearly wrong.

If we think about it from the perspective of relying on external forces, the answers would be things like taking stimulants or being chased by a jeep.

Considering that this is in the metropolis, it means that he is caught by the Border Management Bureau for illegal immigration, or he is hunted down by the Public Security Bureau for assassinating the Supreme Speaker.

But these answers are non-unique. Any one of them could be correct, and any one of them could fail.

"Twenty-two seconds left."

The red dragonfly suddenly gave a reminder.

Under normal circumstances, it will not remind the players of the time.

But Liu Zheng was too considerate, so it felt embarrassed not to help at all.

But Captain Dragonfly is always fair, just and open, so I can only remind you in this way that does not violate the rules.

30 seconds.

Liu Zheng frowned.

This amount of time is simply not enough to eliminate interference.

But what if all the answers are distractors?

After all, the answers to this kind of riddles are often not serious answers, but more like brain teasers.

If you think in this direction.
"Black male athletes"

Liu Zheng seemed to be thinking about something.

"10."

"9."

"8."

Red Dragonfly begins the countdown.

"When he knew his girlfriend was pregnant."

he blurted out.

"correct answer."

The red dragonfly slapped the timer, making a sound similar to the sound of a gong in celebration.

"So you're just wasting your time."

The sphinx curled its lips.

It was not originally going for Liu Zheng's "flesh", nor did it intend to play any shady tricks when asking questions.

"I am just a mean person who judges the big cat by my own standards."

Liu Zheng criticized himself.

He was not worried about the Sphinx cheating, as he was originally aiming to improve Red Dragonfly's favorability.

Besides, what if I could win another gold medal?

"How many times have I told you that I'm not a cat!"

The sphinx bared its teeth at him.

"Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue."

"Now it's the delivery man's turn to ask questions."

The red dragonfly interrupted their conversation.

“My problem is the mountains”

Just as Liu Zheng was about to speak, an invisible force crushed his vocal cords.

"Please do not ask questions that are beyond the other party's knowledge."

Just as he was wondering, Red Dragonfly spoke.

"I see."

Liu Zheng suddenly realized.

The question he originally intended to ask was, if Shan Shang's action of assassinating Xiao Quan was described in the ancient style of Xiao Ri Zi, what would it be called?
There is a trap here. People who have some understanding of daily life culture might call it "a teppan foot soldier riding alone to attack the regent."

Because the Kanpaku is equivalent to the prime minister in ancient China, and is also equivalent to the prime minister in modern days.

But in fact, Kozen was a retired prime minister, so he could not be called Kanpaku, but should be called Taiko (retired Kanpaku).

Therefore, Yamanaga's action should be called "A single-handed attack by the iron cannon foot soldiers against Taiko."

This matter actually exceeded the Sphinx's knowledge reserves. It seems that just like when there was no Three Kingdoms, the metropolis' understanding of the real world is not completely synchronized.

"That's it."

He rolled his eyes and had another idea.

"My question is, which president of the United States has the biggest imagination?"

"Franklin Roosevelt."

The Sphinx answered without hesitation.

In the largest socialist country in the world, implementing socialist national policies, isn't that a big idea?
"Wrong answer. The delivery man won the game."

Red Dragonfly announced the results of the competition.

"So what's the correct answer?"

The sphinx didn't care about winning or losing, he was just a little curious.

"The correct answer is John Kennedy."

Red Dragonfly answered for Liu Zheng.

"Well I thought my question was funny enough, but I didn't expect yours to be even colder than mine."

The Sphinx shuddered.

"It's just so-so. I'm just standing on the shoulders of giants."

Liu Zheng said modestly.

"Your wit makes my eyes light up, and your ridicule of celebrities makes me smile."

"This game was very exciting, so I will present you with the gold championship medal."

“I hope you will keep up the good work and contribute more wonderful games to the city.”

Red Dragonfly said the same lines as last time and awarded him another gold championship medal.

Including this one, Liu Zheng now has two championship medals.

It’s a pity that he was not participating in the cooking competition, otherwise he would have been able to get another one, which would have put him not far from the goal of ten.

"Captain Dragonfly, can you tell me what effect can be obtained by collecting ten gold champion medals?"

he asked tentatively.

"How do you know it's ten?"

Red Dragonfly asked back.

"I have some special methods."

"You are a third-class citizen now. That's all I can tell you."

Red Dragonfly thought for a moment and said.

"That's enough, thank you very much."

Liu Zheng said politely.

The effect of collecting ten gold champion medals is to improve your citizenship level?

If third-class citizens are promoted one level, they will become second-class citizens.

If cows, horses and their wives became second-class citizens, there would be no need to save up the "household tax".

If the cows and horses knew this news, they would be overjoyed.

Tell it this news when it gets back. Whether it can succeed depends on its own ability.

"Please ask the Sphinx player to cash in the prize."

The red dragonfly looked towards the sphinx.

"Open your mouth."

The Sphinx went straight ahead.

"Uh."

Liu Zheng hesitated a little, but still opened his mouth.

The sphinx also opened its mouth, and its long, thick tongue shot out and directly into his mouthparts.

The barbs on the long tongue stood up and pierced deeply into Liu Zheng's palate.

Once the barbs were fixed, the sphinx began to move its tongue.

The long tongue danced in Liu Zheng's mouth, and the barbs scraped out wounds, forming mysterious words.

After a few minutes, the sphinx retracted its tongue.

"Bah bah bah."

The sphinx spat a few times in disgust. "Ugh."

Liu Zheng felt more nauseous than it.

It's okay to be kissed with tongue in an inhuman way, but the key point is that this guy has no hygiene and his tongue tastes not much better than the sewer.

"If you dare to spit, I'll stuff your tongue into your skin."

The Sphinx said unkindly.

"It feels so good, so fragrant and soft, I want to do it again."

he said immediately.

"Bah, you humans are disgusting."

said the Sphinx in disgust.

"So how do you use this ability?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"You just need to point at the target and shout, Andros Phinks, and the ability will take effect."

replied the Sphinx.

"The game is over, see you next time!"

Seeing that it had redeemed its prize, the red dragonfly immediately let out a heroic laugh, then flapped its wings and flew high, disappearing into the depths of the clouds.

"Okay, we're even now. Don't try to flirt with me again."

The Sphinx fell down again.

"Are you so disgusted with humans?"

Liu Zheng asked.

Has it ever been harmed by humans?
"I am not rejecting humans, I am rejecting all races."

The Sphinx said.

If it didn't need a job, it wouldn't even bother with Doctor Nile.

"Do you still want to eat the dried fish?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Don't eat."

"What about fresh fish? A special kind from the sewers?"

".No."

The Sphinx said after an inner struggle.

"That"

"No, no, no, just come in!"

The sphinx swung its tail and directly pulled Liu Zheng into the clinic.

"whispering sound."

He lay on the ground and shook his head regretfully.

The Riddle Curse is such a powerful ability, he wants to get a few more.

It is indeed a big cat, but it is a little more difficult to deal with than livestock like chickens, ducks, cows and pigs.

But the more the sphinx resisted, the more excited Liu Zheng became.

One day, it too will succumb to his charm.

"This is the first time I've seen someone enter a clinic like this."

Doctor Nile was holding a clay bottle and looking down at him.

"This may be the sphinx's way of showing affection."

Liu Zheng got up and said seriously.

"Although my brain isn't as good as it used to be, I know they don't have this habit."

Dr. Nile ruthlessly exposed him.

"When in Rome, do as the Romans do. I'm here to tell you some good news, doctor."

Liu Zheng changed the subject.

"Did you find that specialty?"

Doctor Nile's cloudy eyes seemed to light up.

"No, but I found two backers for you and Sesha."

He shook his head.

"I don't think Sesha and I need any support."

"The restaurant will target you again one day."

Liu Zheng said.

“The problem has been solved, otherwise I would not have opened a clinic so close to the restaurant.”

Doctor Nile said.

"But you don't dare stray too far from the clinic, do you?"

he said again.

Doctor Nile was silent.

"You may have gotten used to living in a small house, but is Sesha used to it? Before she became a mummy, she should still be a little girl, right?"

"She is no longer used to this concept."

Doctor Nile said calmly.

"But what happens after she regains her wits?"

"So, what do you have in mind?"

Doctor Nile asked after a long silence.

"Did you know about the sewer and the fire mage?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"know."

Doctor Nile nodded.

Although his movements were restricted, those patients were also a good source of intelligence.

"As long as you do one thing, you can get the protection of both the sewer and the fire mage."

Liu Zheng told him about helping the sewer man cut off his hemorrhoids, and also showed him his silver finger.

"Of course, the risk is still very high. It's up to you to decide whether to do it or not."

"Okay, I'll do it."

Doctor Nile said after thinking for a while.

After the matter is done, even if he can't find the specialty, he can just move the clinic into the sewer.

Although the environment in the sewer is not very good, at least safety is guaranteed.

"Okay, then tell me when you're ready and I'll arrange a time."

Liu Zheng nodded.

"If I fail, I hope you can help me take care of Sesha."

Doctor Nile said.

"I can't do this."

He shook his head.

He would have to leave the metropolis one day.

"Then help Sesha regain her sanity, and then help her find a reliable protector."

Doctor Nile said.

"This is acceptable."

Liu Zheng nodded.

Both Nightingale, who became the sole heir, and the novelist should be able to afford to run a small clinic.

"Thank you. What would you like to be paid for?"

"No, I'm doing this for myself."

He shook his head.

"You still have to pay me. How about this, I'll help you check your illness."

Doctor Nile said.

"No, I'm not sick."

"No, you are sick."

Doctor Nile said firmly.

"I really didn't"

Liu Zheng's eyes suddenly widened.

"Can you cure my ALS?!"
