Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

The cattle and horses interface.

"Depend on!"

That's fucking black.

Liu Zheng answered the phone through gritted teeth.

"How's the old man?"

The voice on the other end of the phone was that of a female diver.

"I don't know, but he's not dead. He told me to tell you not to go into the sewers during this time, and not to call him. Wait for him to contact me, and then I'll contact you."

"It doesn't matter, I wasn't planning on going to see him anyway."

The female diver said coldly.

"Uh-huh."

Liu Zheng gave a perfunctory reply.

He realized that these strange residents were all arrogant.

No wonder the world is so terrible, because the tsundere archetype has been removed from the game!

Are you free lately?

After a moment of silence, the female diver asked.

"what?"

Could this woman really have fallen for him?

Does the suspension bridge effect also work on these non-human beings?

"Come with me to the waste treatment plant."

The female diver said.

"Sister, aren't you overestimating me?"

Liu Zheng remained silent.

With his small frame, delivering takeout to the neighborhood is always a life-or-death ordeal for him.

Going to a garbage disposal plant, a place that even cattle and horses fear, would mean certain death for him.

Liu Zheng was planning to get the legendary deliveryman's hat, but that would be after he found the fire mage.

And who knows, maybe the fire mage can just get his hat back for him, so he won't even have to go to the garbage dump?

"I can hire you."

The female diver gritted her teeth and said.

"It's not about the money. Why didn't you let Nightingale go with you?"

Liu Zheng asked.

Regardless of their abilities or connections, it's clear that Nightingale would be a more suitable candidate.

"She was taken away by people from the city hall."

The female diver said.

"what?"

Chapter 121 Senior, you want me to save your woman?

"Shortly after she came out of the sewer, people from the city hall took her in for questioning."

The female diver said.

"Isn't it a simple matter? Why bother with an investigation?"

Liu Zheng said.

They didn't do it on purpose; at most, it's considered manslaughter.

"The city hall doesn't need to explain what it does."

The female diver mimicked that mechanical and domineering tone.

"Alright. Doesn't she know someone at the city hall? Shouldn't we be able to get her out of there?"

The Nightingale wants to make Kingslayer Chess its flagship product, which is all thanks to its connections with the City Hall.

“Some people in her family don’t want her to come out.”

The female diver sighed and said.

"Oh."

It's just a feud between wealthy families, a falling out that turns them into enemies.

They're sick of this kind of drama in real life.

"If you're not willing to come with me to the garbage disposal plant, then find a way to get the nightingale out of there."

The female diver said.

"Is this your real purpose?"

Liu Zheng realized what was going on.

"Yes."

The female divers readily admitted it.

"Then I'd rather go to the garbage disposal plant with you."

He even suspected that the female diver might have lost her mind.

Liu Zheng, a food deliveryman, is being asked to go to the city hall to bail someone out?

Why didn't she just send him to break out of prison?

"If you do me this favor, I can give you my most precious thing."

The female diver gritted her teeth and said.

"Ah, are you non-humans this feudal too?"

“What are you thinking? I’m talking about the things my mother left me.”

The female diver remained silent.

"Oh. What's that?"

“I don’t know either. I haven’t opened it since she gave it to me. My mother just told me that if the Chaos Club ever came looking for me, I should open it.”

The female diver said.

"Um"

Liu Zheng fell into thought.

If it were anything else, even a perfectly high-quality item, he wouldn't have gotten involved in this mess.

However, if it's an item specifically for the Chaos Club, then it's quite tempting.

After all, he still had a Chaos Club gold card in his pocket.

Although there are no abnormalities for the time being, it could explode any day.

"I'll get back to you after I think about it."

Liu Zheng said.

"it is good."

He hung up the phone and looked at the cattle and horses.

"Hey boss, can you get someone out of the city hall?"

"puff!"

Niu Ma spat out all of his beer.

Fortunately, Liu Zheng was far away.

"I haven't gotten cocky myself, but you're the one making me feel cocky first, huh? I'm just a food delivery guy, how am I supposed to get someone out of the city hall?"

It was amused by Liu Zhengqi.

"Why don't you just tell me to help you break out of prison?"

"Uh"

Why does this dialogue feel so familiar?

"I was just asking, after all, you have such a wide network of connections, what if you know someone who can get things done?"

Liu Zheng said.

"You have a wider network of connections than I do. Isn't your cheap father-in-law quite powerful? Why don't you ask him to help you get people out of trouble?"

"It's like a cow and a horse," Niu Ma suggested.

"He's stuck in the sewers right now, so he probably can't free his hands."

He shook his head.

"But don't you also have a rich lover?"

"She's the one who asked me to bail her out."

As soon as Liu Zhenggang finished speaking, he realized that Niu Ma was probably not talking about the female diver.

"Hey bro, are you talking about the guy who helped me order takeout?"

"Yeah, who else did you think I was talking about?"

The cattle and horses also realized what was happening.

"Damn, you've got so many lovers you can't even count them all, huh? Don't move, I'm going to kill you right now, you greedy bastard."

It started cursing and was about to get up and beat Liu Zheng.

"I was wrong, I was wrong. Wait a minute, boss, you can beat me up after I finish the call."

He begged for mercy repeatedly.

"Humph."

The ox and horse lay down again, making a throat-slitting hoof gesture.

Liu Zheng gave a wry smile and dialed the novelist's number.

"Senior, what are your orders?"

The novelist's voice remained respectful, and slightly trembling.

"How's the novel coming along?"

He still used the same opening line that they were used to.

"I've already shown it to the editor, and he said the gimmick and pacing are good, and it should be a promising project."

The novelist said excitedly.

"That's good. Is the outline finished?"

he asked.

"I don't have an outline, but I have a detailed outline of thirty chapters. Could you please take a look at it?"

The novelist asked cautiously.

"send it."

Soon, the phone received a new message.

Liu Zheng opened it and saw an extremely long text message.

He felt that the technology of this world was as strange as its inhabitants.
