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

Chapter 671 It's Better to Suffer Together Than to Suffer Alone
"Yumiko."

Liu Zheng looked at her in silence for a long time before finally speaking.

"What's wrong, Beers?"

"There's something I've been wanting to tell you for a while now, so you'd better listen carefully."

He said.

"Okay, go ahead and say it, I'm listening."

Yumiko nodded.

"I'll fuck you, you big idiot!"

Liu Zheng said, enunciating each word clearly, and then, without even looking at her expression, he rammed headfirst into the sharp protrusion on the front of the car.

"You are dead. Game over."

When the notification sound rang, he felt surprisingly relieved.

"Brother Zheng, you didn't kill Yumiko again, did you?"

Ace looked at his worried expression and said.

"No, I committed suicide. I couldn't stand that idiot anymore, so I stopped fighting."

Liu Zheng said.

"Okay, then we'll talk about it when you have a moment."

Ace said understandingly.

After playing for almost half a month, he knew better than Liu Zheng just how overpowered this game was.

In fact, he was almost unable to contain his murderous intent, otherwise he wouldn't have asked Liu Zheng to fight for him.

"Brother Pai, buy me the same game console and games. I'll study them when I get back."

Liu Zheng said.

"No problem, I'll buy it for you right now."

Ace said.

"Is that store still open at this hour?"

"They're probably closed down. But it's okay, I'll have the owner deliver to my door. I'm one of his biggest customers, so he'll still provide that kind of service."

As he spoke, he took out his phone and made a call.

"Alright, he'll bring it over in about half an hour."

After a conversation, Ace spoke.

"Okay, I can wait half an hour."

Liu Zheng glanced at his phone and said.

“You know what? You really angered Cole this time. I heard he locked himself in a cell and turned off the surveillance. When he came out, there wasn’t a single intact body in the entire cell.”

Since they weren't playing games, Ace started talking about gossip.

Are the people in the prison cells truly sinners?

he asked.

"Of course. He went to the hardened criminal cell, where the prisoners are undoubtedly scum and perverts, without any exaggeration."

The ace replied.

"That's great. I'll try to annoy him more often in the future."

"Then it's better to say goodbye."

Ace shook his head.

"Although that guy is really annoying, his abilities are undeniable. It's only a matter of time before he becomes the head of the Criminal Investigation Bureau. Unless you join the city hall, you definitely can't beat him."

"By the way, Zheng-ge, do you want to come to the Public Security Department? I'll help you get a spot. Our family will do everything we can to push you up there. You just focus on getting promoted and getting a raise, and I'll just relax and enjoy the ride."

Ace said with a grin.

"Is this your family's intention?"

Liu Zheng asked in surprise.

"No, it's my own idea."

Ace shakes his head.

"I'll just say it."

We've only known each other for a few days; even if I really approve of him, I wouldn't make such a large investment.

"Brother Pai, what were you thinking? You didn't go up yourself, but pushed an outsider like me up there."

He said speechlessly.

"With my limited abilities, if I were to get up there, it would definitely be because of my dad. What if news of my dad's death gets back? Then I'd be doomed immediately."

“Brother Zheng, you’re different. You have the ability and the connections. At most, I’ll give you a push, and you’ll be able to stand on your own two feet later.”

"You're willing to fight the Criminal Investigation Department for that lion now, so protecting me will be a piece of cake."

"Anyway, you know me well. At most, I'll make minor mistakes like being late, leaving early, or playing games during work hours. I won't cause you any trouble."

Ace said.

"Then just lie flat like you are now. At worst, I won't give you any credit. Being a pay thief who clocks in and out is not bad either."

Liu Zheng said.

"It's about being prepared for danger in times of peace. Before, I would just hide in my office and do my own thing, and even if I heard my colleagues gossiping, I didn't really understand. It wasn't until I fought alongside you against the Criminal Investigation Bureau that I truly felt the dangers of this world."

“My dad was a big shot back in the day, and he must have offended a lot of people. Who knows which one of them is holding a grudge and has a long life, just waiting for my dad to make sure he’s not coming back so they can kill me.”

“I certainly can’t be the big shot myself, so I have to find someone to rely on. Right now, it seems like you’re the most suitable candidate, Zheng Ge.”

This time, Ace really opened his heart.

"Brother Pai, you overestimate me. I don't even know if I'll be alive tomorrow."

He smiled bitterly.

Even if the server collapses and the server runs away, it's no different from being dead for these people in the metropolis.

"But don't worry, as long as I'm alive, I'll definitely help you."

Before the ace could speak, Liu Zheng continued.

"With Zheng-ge's words, I feel much more at ease."

Ace said solemnly.

"Hehehe, now I finally have a reason to refuse my family's pressure to go on blind dates."

He suddenly laughed.

"Wait, what does that mean?"

Liu Zheng sensed that something was wrong.

"Hehe, when they pressure me to go on blind dates again, I'll just say I'm busy maintaining my relationship with you and don't have time. With such a legitimate reason, they definitely can't refuse."

Ace said.

The Beers family pressured him to go on blind dates because he only knew how to amuse himself and was unwilling to go out and socialize.

Now that he has finally built up his network, the Beers family is naturally no longer in a hurry for him to get married.

Are you sure they won't think there's something wrong with our relationship?

Liu Zheng squinted and said.

"It doesn't matter. Even if it is, it's not an unacceptable thing. As long as I find someone else to reproduce with."

Ace shrugged.

"Of course, Zheng-ge, don't panic. I definitely prefer females, as evidenced by the entire floor of beautiful girl figurines in my villa."

Seeing that Liu Zheng's expression was off, he quickly explained.

"If you're really worried, let's go to a nightclub and have some fun. It's on me."

Afraid that his words might not be convincing enough, the ace spoke up generously.

"That's not the case, and I can't do that right now anyway."

Liu Zheng shook his head.

"Ah, Zheng-ge, is there something you can't say?"

Upon hearing this, both the Nile doctor who was reading the newspaper and the panda who was meditating looked over.

"Hey, don't think I won't sue you for spreading rumors just because we're close."

Liu Zheng said angrily.

Not wanting to use it and being unable to use it are two different things. As a perpetrator, he would never allow himself to be questioned in this regard.

"I have practiced the virginity-locking technique, and I cannot lose my virginity until I have mastered it."

When he's able to punch a peacock and kick a snowman, he won't need the skill of "excessive sexual desire leads to disaster."

"Oh~"

Ace drawled out his words.

"Don't you have a relative in the General Office? Can't he protect you?"

Liu Zheng remembered and asked.

“He’ll be retiring in another 10 or 20 years, and it’s hard to say whether he’ll be able to land safely. He doesn’t have the time to protect me.”

Ace shook his head. "What about the other young people in your family?"

"Don't even mention it, they're not even as good as me. All they know is to ask their families for money to live a life of debauchery, calling it expanding their network, but when real trouble comes, they're utterly useless. Forget about someone like you, Zheng, who dares to stand up to the criminal investigation team for a friend, they can't even do something as simple as getting someone to clear a traffic violation."

He pursed his lips.

"That's really useless. Speaking of which, I know a guy in a green vest who says that if you need to get help, just give him his number."

Liu Zheng remembered the green vest who had asked him to write official documents.

"Oh? What's its number?"

The ace asked.

"JJ577. Brother Pai, you can ask around. If he's a good person, you can help him out."

Liu Zheng said.

The "ace" is, after all, a member of a department, and to a grassroots law enforcement officer like the one in the green vest, he is considered a leader.

"No problem. See? I told you I was just trying to maintain the relationship."

Ace laughed.

The connections he has with people at the grassroots level in his department are also useful to him, but he is too embarrassed to actively make those connections, and the results are not good either.

But now that he has Liu Zheng's connection, he can legitimately befriend him.

After chatting for a while, the roar of the Sphinx echoed outside the clinic.

"The game console should have arrived. I'll go out and get it."

Ace left the clinic and quickly returned with the same game console.

"Here you go. I didn't know what kind of games you liked, Zheng-ge, so I asked the shopkeeper to install a few classic ones. If you don't like them, I can ask him to change them."

He handed the game console to Liu Zheng.

"No need, I don't have time to play anyway."

Liu Zheng took the game console and started operating it.

The interface of this Metropolitan Edition game console wasn't much different from a real handheld console, and he quickly figured out how to use it.

Which one is Yumiko's?

He flipped through the game library and asked.

"Oh, that one, 'Summer of the Gods & The Strange Tale of Childhood Friends'."

"God's summer? God's summer is pretty much the same."

Liu Zheng complained.

Is this game really that difficult?

"The Nile doctor asked curiously."

This was the first time he had ever seen Liu Zheng so furious.

"You'll see once you try. By the way, please be patient and don't do it yourself; I'm saving it for myself."

Liu Zheng handed him the game console.

"Don't worry. I'm a mummy who's been dead for over a thousand years. What haven't I seen? Right now, apart from the mission of the Priestess of Ra and Sesha, nothing can move me anymore."

"Dr. Nile said confidently, then plugged the data cable into his temple."

"Yes, we believe you."

As Liu Zheng spoke, he started the game.

"Usaka! Makkarina!"

A few minutes later, the Nile doctor opened his eyes and began to curse.

Although I couldn't understand what he was saying, his expression showed that he was swearing very rudely.

"Damn it, how can there be such a disgusting person? If I met her in real life, I would throw her into a scorpion pit and let her be stung to death!"

The Nile doctor clenched his fist.

"You still have scorpion pits here?"

Liu Zheng asked in surprise.

"No, but I'd be willing to build a new one just for her."

"The Nile doctor said bitterly."

"That's a very high salary."

He wanted to laugh but dared not, so he could only speak in a serious tone.

"By the way, Brother Pai, could you buy a few dozen more game consoles later and install this game on them all?"

Liu Zheng remembered and said.

"Ah? Why?"

Ace asked in confusion.

"It's all about pooling our wisdom and efforts. It's rare to come across something so interesting, so how can we not share it with our friends? Let's treat it as a team-building activity."

He gave a wicked smile.

"Brother Zheng, you're so naughty, but I like it, hehehe."

Ace also grinned slyly.

"Don't lie to Sesha."

Dr. Nile emphasized.

"clear."

In other words, everyone else can be fooled.

Doctor Nile can be quite wicked sometimes.

Just as Liu Zheng was thinking about what else he could do, the phone suddenly rang.

He looked at the caller ID and saw that it was Ouyegan calling.

"Come quickly, I'm ready."

Oyegan's tone was somewhat excited.

"Isn't this too late?"

"What do you know? To forge a truly fine sword, you need not only top-quality materials and unparalleled skill, but more importantly, that spark of inspiration. I am in excellent condition now, and it is the perfect time to seize that spark of inspiration."

Oyegan refuted this.

"Alright, you're the master, you've had your garlic. I'll be right there."

Liu Zheng shrugged.

Anyway, there are still about two hours left, so I can use them at the sword-making workshop and make the most of them.

"Hey bro, doctor, I'm off now."

He said hello and left the clinic.

"Brother Zheng is really busy every day."

"Ace sighed."

Even the director of their logistics department isn't as busy as Liu Zheng. And when others are busy, they're directing others to do things, unlike Liu Zheng, who seems to be spinning himself around like a top.

"If he hadn't worked so hard, he wouldn't have been able to achieve such great things in such a short time."

"That's what the Nile doctor said."

"That's true. If I had even a tenth of Zheng's level of effort, I'd probably be a deputy director by now."

Ace Fantasy Road.

"It's not too late for you to start working on it now."

"That's what the Nile doctor said."

"Let's forget about it. If I were even a tenth as busy as Zheng, I probably wouldn't live to see my dad come back."

Ace rolled his eyes.

While the two continued chatting, Liu Zheng had already rushed to the sword-making workshop.

"Quickly, come in quickly."

This time, Ou Yegan opened the door himself without him having to knock.

"You don't look like you're forging a sword; you look more like you're doing something illegal or criminal."

Liu Zheng squinted and said.

"What do you know? A flash of inspiration is like a divine secret, fleeting in an instant. Last time, I caught a flash of inspiration while I was out, but when I rushed back, I got stuck in traffic. By the time I got back to the workshop, the inspiration was almost gone. In the end, I only managed to forge a weapon of medium or low quality. It really infuriated me."

As Ouyegan pulled him inside, he said this.

What does "superior and inferior grades" mean?

Liu Zheng asked casually.

"The weapons I forge are divided into nine grades: top-upper, top-middle, top-lower, middle-upper, middle-middle, middle-lower, bottom-upper, bottom-middle, bottom-lower. Those that don't even reach the bottom grade are scrap."

Ouyegan walked very fast, and in just a few words, he led him to a small door.

He pointed his fingers together like a sword, and blue sword energy emerged from his fingertips.

The sword energy pierced the keyhole, and with a "click," the lock opened.
