Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

"The sewer eggs should have been returned by now. The boss said there would be a reward, so I'll ask her to protect the team then."

Liu Zheng said.

"Are you willing to give up the boss's reward?"

The oxen and horses looked at him with their eyes askew.

The reward from the Bloody Restaurant owner is priceless to many.

"There's no such thing as being willing or unwilling to give up something, only whether it's worth it."

For him, a reward was a worthwhile way to repay a life-saving debt.

"It's not your turn to show off yet. Give me back my commemorative medal."

"The ox and horse said."

"Don't rush, let me borrow it for a few days first."

"Play my ass, you're clearly trying to pocket it all. Hurry up, or I'll beat you up."

After exchanging a few trash words, Liu Zheng returned the commemorative medal to Niu Ma.

It quickly swallowed it into its stomach.

This thing is one of its most treasured possessions. It wouldn't have been lent to Liu Zheng if it weren't for the fact that it was hoping to make money off him.

"Quickly, quickly, call your lover and ask her to bail him out."

The oxen and horses urged on.

"Napoleon has agreed to host a first-class dinner?"

"With my oxen and horses, is there anything I can't accomplish?"

Although its tone was natural, its evasive eyes suggested that things were not so easy.

"OK then."

Although Liu Zheng had serious doubts about how Niu Ma had persuaded Napoleon, the matter should still have been accomplished.

So he called the novelist.

"Senior, are you ready?"

The novelist asked the question directly.

"Ready, the name of the private room is Solar System, just bring the name of the private room."

Liu Zheng said.

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away. Please wait patiently for my message."

"It's alright, just go at your pace. By the way, is this enough? Will it cause you any trouble?"

he asked.

To be honest, this is by far the most unequal deal he has ever made with novelists.

Although Liu Zheng had always suspected that the woman wanted to eat him, she hadn't done it yet.

Therefore, it's still important to maintain this relationship.

"Don't worry, senior. It's alright."

The novelist offered words of comfort.

After hanging up the phone, Liu Zheng noticed that Niu Ma was looking at him strangely again.

"What now, boss?"

"This should be your official girlfriend, right?"

"The ox and horse said."

"Of course not. No, wait, I don't have a harem, okay?"

he retorted.

"Hehe. This novelist writes about the fisherman's daughter, the fisherman's daughter's girlfriend, and that vampire receptionist."

"I know of at least four, not to mention the others I don't know about."

"You've delivered more takeout than you've dated girls."

"The cows and horses complained."

"Nonsense. Boss, we may be familiar, but watch out or I might sue you for defamation."

"Whether it's slander or not, you know it in your heart. Hmm, go back and find the people in the kitchen to open a betting pool, and bet on who will be the first to sleep with you."

The ox and horse seemed to be deep in thought.

"Hey, using your own underlings to run a betting operation, isn't that a bit too much?"

Liu Zheng protested.

"What's so excessive? We're already being lenient by not making you sell yourself as a male prostitute on the black market."

Niu Ma got right to work, pushing open the door to the break room and heading straight to the kitchen.

Anyway, there won't be any news about the novelist for a while.

He looked at the door closing automatically and shook his head helplessly.

What can he do when he's stuck with such an unreliable big shot?

After thinking for a moment, Liu Zheng called the vampire girl.

"Hey, who is it?"

"It's me, Liu Zheng."

he replied.

"Oh, what's up? I'm busy right now."

"That's what the vampire girl said."

There was indeed a lot of talking coming from her side; it seemed a large group of guests had arrived at the same time.

"It's no big deal."

"If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now and call you back later."

"That's what the vampire girl said."

"I've encountered your blood father."

Liu Zheng said.

"Okay, then I'll go first. Huh?!"

The vampire girl exclaimed in shock.

"he died."

"Ah?!"

The vampire girl was shocked *2.

"He told me the combination to the safe before he died and asked me to pass it on to you."

Liu Zheng finished casting the spell.

"Ahhhh!!!"

The vampire girl was shocked *3.

He quietly moved his phone a little further away.

"Wait here, I'll call you back right away."

"What kind of ride do you want to play? Tell me right now!"

The vampire girl hung up the phone.

"Tsk~"

Liu Zheng raised an eyebrow.

It seems like the vampire girl's blood father should be able to drop a lot of gold coins.

Two minutes later, the vampire girl called again.

"Quickly, quickly, tell me the details of the process."

She said it eagerly.

Her voice sounded a bit echoing, so she was probably hiding in a place like the toilet.

I probably can't tell you the specifics of the process.

Liu Zheng said.

Although neither the deceased nor the murderer worked at the restaurant, the incident still occurred in a private room.

Who knows if saying this would violate the rules of the Ox and Horse Talk?

Besides, telling the vampire girl the truth might not be a good thing.

Given her power and status, it's practically impossible for her to seek revenge on her pajama-clad friend.

If she doesn't intend to avenge her blood father, then there's even less need to say anything.

"I'll tell you the safe's combination, write it down. Then our debts will be settled."

Liu Zheng said.

He did risk his life, so it's not unreasonable for him to charge a commission.

"Wait, wait, don't say it on the phone."

The vampire girl quickly stopped him.

"Then when I deliver takeout, I'll stop by the board game arcade to find you?"

Although he didn't know what her concerns were, Liu Zheng readily agreed.

"Okay. Never mind, I'll order takeout myself."

"I think for a moment and then I say," the vampire girl said.

"Going all out like this? Can you afford it?"

"We have to hold on, even if we can't. I'm not the only one of his descendants."

"I can't breathe," the vampire girl said through gritted teeth.

"What if you go there and find that the safe has already been opened by someone else? Wouldn't your takeout order have been for nothing?"

Liu Zheng discovered the key point.

"Fine, I guess I'm just unlucky then."

"I'm annoyed," the vampire girl said.

Does this guy even know how to talk?

Didn't you flirt with her quite provocatively before?

"Okay, you can make your own decisions."

He said.

After hanging up the phone, I waited for about half an hour, and the order arrived.

Ghost Hand wobbled in and then wobbled as it put down the takeout order.

Looks like he drank quite a bit.

Liu Zheng looked around but didn't have anything he could use to sober it up, so he gave up.

Anyway, given Ghost Hand's strength, even if it loses all memory, no one can retrieve its corpse.

Picking up the takeout order, I saw that it was indeed the vampire girl's order.

"Meal: One serving of mashed potatoes"
