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

Chapter 564: The Shrinking Pyramid and the Nile Doctor's Request

"Humph. I don't want it even if you give it to me."

The plane tree turned its face away.

"Mr. Delivery Man's charm is really irresistible."

The Fool who was watching praised.

"Thank you for your compliment. It's nothing more than exchanging sincerity for sincerity."

Liu Zheng said modestly.

"This is very rare. Sincerity is a real luxury in the metropolitan area, and even for people like us it is hard to have it."

The Fool sighed.

"Maybe the only people I've met since I came to the city are good people."

He smiled and said.

At first I thought that cows, horses, and plane trees were all dregs of the world, but after seeing too many monsters and demons in the metropolis, I discovered that they were actually a mirror for the world.

"Luck is also a very important ability. Mr. Deliveryman, is there anything I can help you with? If you need any extraordinary items, I have some here."

The Fool asked.

"Indeed."

Liu Zheng didn't hesitate and told the peacock directly that he was going to compete with it for the auction item.

"It's alright that I can't get the item I want, but I hope you can lend a hand with this matter."

"No problem. But in that case, I have to go back and prepare. I'll be back soon."

The Fool said.

The things it carries with it can be used for emergencies, but they are not enough to compete with a big guy like the peacock.

"You live in the same neighborhood as Peacock. That won't be bad for you, right?"

Liu Zheng asked with concern.

"It's okay. I'm the newcomer in the Writers Association who has the best chance of being promoted to a narrator. Peacock doesn't dare to attack me directly."

The Fool said confidently.

As the foundation of a metropolis, the Writers Guild is different from those landmarks.

What is important about those landmarks is the landmarks themselves; managers or spokespersons are necessary but not that important.

The Writers Guild itself is not important; what is important are the authors who have the opportunity to be promoted as storytellers.

Even a peacock would not dare to risk the wrath of the world and attack a great writer who had great potential to be promoted to a narrator, unless she wanted to be plucked out of her feathers by the Supreme Chancellor himself.

Of course, we can't take direct action, but we can still try to trip them up.

"That's good. I'll leave it to you then."

Liu Zheng said solemnly.

Whether or not you expect something in return for doing a favor depends on the other person’s character.

He didn't know how to analyze it either, and basically relied on his intuition.

However, Liu Zheng's intuition told him that it would be better to give the Fool a chance to repay its favor as soon as possible, otherwise neither side would be happy.

"do not worry."

The Fool got on the carriage after he finished speaking, and then turned into a cloud of gray mist and disappeared into the night.

"Mr. Liu really has a wide range of friends."

The projector admired.

"They were all handed over one by one. When I complete your commission, we will become friends, right?"

Liu Zheng said.

"You don't have to complete the commission. If Mr. Liu doesn't mind, I'm already your friend now."

The projector said tactfully.

"Yes, young man, you have a bright future."

He patted the projector's shoulder and continued to look at the field.

"Now we will start the sixth round of bidding. Let's see what items are on auction this time."

After Captain Penguin finished speaking, a triangular projection appeared in front of him.

"What is this? A model of a pyramid?"

The captain said strangely.

"Oh, it turns out that it is a whole pyramid that has been shrunk. There doesn't seem to be such a thing in the metropolis? The Ra clan has all died out, and there is no way they have the ability to build one. Where did this come from? Is it from abroad?"

The captain babbled.

"According to the current identification results, there are at least three mummies in this pyramid, as well as an altar of Ra, but we don't know what else is there."

"As an extraordinary item, the value of this lot is difficult to evaluate. But as a collection item, its artistic value, historical value and edible value are all very high."

"Okay, let's start the bidding now."

It swung the auction hammer and smashed it on the table.

"Doctor, I'm at an auction. Someone is auctioning off a shrunken pyramid that contains at least three mummies and an altar to Ra."

Liu Zheng called Dr. Nile immediately.

“Can you take a picture of it?”

Doctor Nile asked after a moment's silence.

"I try my best."

"Then please. I really don't have any suitable extraordinary items here."

Doctor Nile said a little embarrassedly.

"I see."

He nodded and hung up the phone.

Liu Zheng looked at the pyramid projection on the auction table with a serious expression.

He didn't expect someone to take out this thing, which interrupted all his plans.

But if he doesn't tell Doctor Nile, Liu Zheng will not be able to get over this hurdle himself.

Whether it was human or material resources, Doctor Nile gave him the most support and served him at his beck and call.

The biggest regret of Doctor Nile is that the Ra tribe in Metropolis was almost exterminated.

Now that he has finally met a fellow tribesman who might be alive, Liu Zheng would be a cruel person if he doesn't help him make up for this regret.

"One perfect item plus three excellent items."

He set a line in his mind.

If there was no Si Xue's mission, he would be willing to bet all the items except the legendary delivery man suit.

"I'll give you this one."

A man wearing hunting clothes, holding a walking stick, with a tall figure but sparse hair was the first to raise a sign.

The competing product he took out was a silk white glove with an inverted cross pattern embroidered on it.

"The duel gloves of the devil gentleman. Throw them at the opponent and both parties will enter a special space for a life-and-death duel. The winner can obtain some of the opponent's attributes."

The projector introduced.

"Good stuff."

Liu Zheng's eyes lit up.

The average stats in the metropolis are weird. As long as he finds an enemy with very high stats to duel with, and then uses props to kill the opponent, he can get a lot of attributes for free.

"In the special space, the extraordinary items of both parties will be disabled, unless they can break through the strength of the creator of the space."

The projector continued.

"Who is the creator of the special space?"

he asked.

"Jack English. A gentleman among devils, a devil among gentlemen. After committing several large-scale murders, he was hunted by the Sheriff's Department and disappeared."

"But there is a planeswalker who claims to have seen him in the Abyss. He has become a demon lord of a certain layer."

The projector replied.

"Excuse me, just pretend I didn't ask."

It was already amazing that he escaped from the pursuit of the Ministry of Public Security, and he was able to escape from the metropolis and become a demon lord. It was obviously beyond his ability to break the special space created by such a powerful person. Once the extraordinary items were banned, his strength would be able to fight back and forth with the fish killed by the salmon, and he could not beat some species.

"I'll give you this one."

The second buyer also raised his sign.

The collector is an octopus as tall as a person. He wears a white chef's hat and a white chef's uniform. He is obviously a chef.

The competing product it came up with was also related to the kitchen, but it was not a kitchen knife, but a chopping board.

The cutting board looks like it's made from a single piece of wood and still has the natural grain of the wood, but without the knife marks or dents that would be present after long-term use.

"A top-grade chef's chopping board. It can be used as a shield. Any weapon that meets the definition of a kitchen knife cannot penetrate it. It has very high defense against sharp weapons, but slightly weaker defense against blunt weapons."

"When used as a prop, it can turn an enemy in the 'unable to control their own actions' state into a random fish on the chopping block, and seal the opponent's extraordinary abilities and extraordinary items."

The projector introduced.

"I am the fish on the chopping board, right?"

The armor plus the control items are somewhat interesting, but not much.

If the enemy is in a state of "unable to control his own actions", he can take this opportunity to kill him, and there is no need to turn the opponent into a fish on the chopping board.

Seeing that the time was almost right, Liu Zheng also raised his sign.

He took out a parchment scroll from the system space and handed it to the projector.

"Name: Death God's List"

"Type: Equipment"

"Quality: Perfect"

"Effect 1: A kill list will appear based on the current dungeon situation. After completing the kill list, you will receive a random reward (including but not limited to attribute enhancements, hell points, random quality items, etc.)."

"Effect 2: The kill list will be refreshed after the previous list is completed or the copy is switched."

"Effect three: Complete the kill list at least once in each instance, otherwise the Grim Reaper will come to supervise you personally."

"Effect 4: Once equipped, this item cannot be removed by conventional means."

"Note: Still not working? Death is here to take you away!"

“Can I take out a copy: Yes”

Although the effect of this item is very powerful, if it is operated well, it can even surpass the effect of legendary or even epic equipment.

But unfortunately, the side effects were quite strong, which discouraged him from trying.

Liu Zheng is already very busy just taking on work from people he knows. If a death-like supervisor comes along, will he still be able to survive?

As an operational item with perfect quality, the legendary takeout box is simple, rough, safe and environmentally friendly to use.

Think about the parts of those legendary delivery men, the effects are all very simple and practical.

As expected from a legendary delivery man, this is a masterpiece.

After Liu Zheng raised the sign, more people continued to raise signs.

The intensity of this round of bidding is comparable to the first round when the mermaid cried for the first time. It is hard to say whether these bidders are bidding for the pyramid or for the three mummies inside the pyramid.

However, with his Death God's List as a proof, the subsequent competitors are more high-end than each other.

Finally, when Captain Penguin was about to announce the closing of the auction, another heavyweight item came up for bidding.

It was a leather pocket, and when it was opened, it was full of gold coins with half of their sides missing.

There are many mysterious words engraved on the gold coins, and these words are constantly changing, disappearing, and reappearing.

"Spiritual World Gold Coin Bag. After using the gold coins, you can summon spirit world creatures to work for you. The more gold coins you use, the stronger the spirit world creatures you summon will be. The more things they will do for you, and the longer they will stay in the world."

"At the same time, every time you use a spiritual gold coin, you must use 'meat' to make up for the loss of the gold coin. Using your own 'meat' is more effective than using someone else's 'meat'."

"If the user's charisma is high enough and their rhetoric is strong enough, they can also persuade the spirit world to do things that are worth more than the gold coins."

"There are currently 32 spirit world gold coins left in the spirit world gold coin bag."

The projector took the initiative to introduce.

"What level of spiritual creature can be summoned by a spiritual gold coin?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"I don't know about that. But as far as I know, spirit creatures are particularly good at hiding, tracking, sneak attacks, and cursing. Even the lowest-level spirit creatures can be good helpers."

The projector said.

"Is that so?"

He was moved again.

But just like the Vampire Knight's heart before, he would have to bid on it before he had a chance to get it.

After the spiritual world gold coin bag, the sixth round of bidding entered the closing stage.

Captain Penguin took out the timer again and started counting.

But when the timer counted down to the last ten seconds, the seller still hadn't made a decision.

“Is it going to fail?”

Liu Zheng's heart tightened.

At this moment, Captain Penguin suddenly made a gesture of listening attentively.

"The seller asked me to give you another chance to add a competing item. Considering the dismal performance of the last auction, I agreed to his request. Now you can add a competing item. Each person has only one chance and can only add one competing item."

Captain Penguin pressed the pause button and the timer stopped at the 00:05 interface.

“Additional competitive products?”

Liu Zheng looked at the projection of the spirit world gold coin bag on the auction table, and his intuition told him that the seller was struggling between the spirit world gold coin bag and his Death List.

If he wanted stability, then of course he would add another item of perfect quality.

But he didn't have many items of perfect quality left, and he felt reluctant to just use them to buy more.

Moreover, Liu Zheng didn't think that his opponent would add another item of perfect quality.

After all, if the other party was really so wealthy, he would not have participated in the auction until the last minute.

If you want to add high-quality items, you have to choose carefully.

He searched in the system space for a while and finally got something.

A bamboo tickler, but the palm part is not a prosthetic hand made of bamboo, but several twisted and entangled human fingers.

"Name: The Old Man's Joy (One-time)"

"Type: Props"

“Quality: Excellent”

"Effect: After contacting the target, the target will enter a state of continuous intense itching. Even targets without corresponding sensory systems will feel mentally uncomfortable. The duration is negatively correlated with the target's mental attributes, with a minimum of one second."

"Note: The more you scratch, the more itchy it gets. The more itchy, the more you scratch."

“Can I take out a copy: Yes”

"Isn't this what you tricked me out of using the maiden's sake last time?"

The plane tree cried out.

"What do you mean by cheating? That's called exchanging."

Liu Zheng corrected.

"Whatever you say. It's a miracle you haven't used it yet."

The French plane tree curled its lips.

This idiotic human stole so many things from it that nothing could be kept except the equipment, and it was used up right away.

"I think so too. Maybe I forgot about it because there were too many items. But it just so happens that it can be used now. Dear Sir Delego, do you think I can get it with this as an additional item?"

he asked humbly.

"I'm just a collector, not the god of collecting. How do I know if the seller likes it?"

The plane tree rolled its eyes.

"However, this 'Old Man's Non-stop Joy' is indeed a very interesting collection. At the beginning, someone even wanted to exchange three high-quality items with me."

"That's it then."

Liu Zheng made a decision.

If the bid fails, even if he tries to leave the country, he will have to bring some of his tribesmen back to Doctor Nile.
