Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

"Don't worry, it won't happen. That person hates the city hall more than anyone else."

The person he was referring to was, of course, Red Pig.

The fact that Niu Ma wouldn't let him tell Hong Zhu the truth doesn't mean Liu Zheng can't go to him.

Although the red pig's attempt to smuggle itself failed, it at least tried once and should be able to provide some experience.

"When are you going?"

The plane tree asked.

"It's hard to say. At the very least, I need to be able to protect myself before I go."

Trying to talk to the red pig might not work out; if it goes berserk again, then a fight will be the only option.

"Show me the alcohol you brought to protect yourself."

The plane tree spoke up.

"Give."

Liu Zheng opened the wine boxes one by one.

"not enough."

The plane tree shook its head.

If the value difference between the items is too large, the transaction cannot be completed, even if the buyer is willing.

"I don't plan to change to that kind. I want to change to something like copper fingers or gold fingers."

He said.

If Silver Finger isn't available, something similar will do.

"You've already used the cheat code?"

The plane tree exclaimed in surprise.

"used."

"I've kept such a precious collection for almost ten years without ever using it. What a spendthrift I am."

The plane tree said with heartache.

"You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub. So tell me, is there one or not?"

"Have."

A Game Boy console burst from the ground and smashed into pieces right in front of Liu Zheng.

He picked up the game console and tore it open, revealing a gleaming silver finger in front of him.

Name: Silver Finger (Disposable)

Type: Item

Quality: Excellent

"Effect: When used at the right time, it can grant a random cheat."

Note: This is a trial version of Wind Spirit Moon Shadow. To unlock more features, please purchase the full version.

"Can it be taken out of the instance: Yes"

"That really is a silver finger."

He couldn't help but smile.

Compared to the three-way choice of the Golden Finger, the Silver Finger is definitely much weaker.

But considering that the Nile doctor is definitely stronger than him, it should be enough.

"Keep an eye on the box for me, I'm going down into the sewers."

Liu Zheng placed the cattle and horses' happiness box on the ground.

Storage fee.

The plane tree reaches out its hand.

"Let's get married together next time."

He said perfunctorily.

"whispering sound."

The overwhelming tree roots retreated underground, and the not-so-warm sunlight shone on Liu Zheng again.

He went to the manhole cover, lifted it, and crawled into the sewer.

Upon arriving at the entrance to the passage, they found no fisherman.

Liu Zheng waited for several minutes, but the fisherman still did not appear.

Just as he was about to make a phone call, the fisherman slowly walked over from a distance.

He was holding a rope with a fishing net attached to the other end, which was submerged in the polluted river.

Judging from the way the fisherman walks, there must be quite a lot of fish in the net.

The fisherman himself looked rather disheveled; not only was his fisherman's hat torn with a large hole, but his fishing vest was also ripped into strips.

"What are you looking at? If you look again, I'll let you experience what it's like to be bitten by a school of fish."

The fisherman stared wide-eyed.

"Isn't it a bit embarrassing for someone who raises fish to get beaten up like this?"

Liu Zheng was not afraid of him.

In terms of their relationship, he was the fisherman's savior.

In terms of benefits, the female divers still need his protection.

The fisherman probably wouldn't take this level of ridicule seriously.

"You don't know anything. This is the most dangerous time in the sewers. Even the city hall's special operations team would be in serious trouble."

The fisherman did not beat him, but only cursed at him.

"Oh. Killer?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"I don't know. The two of us are too strong to stay in one area for long."

The fisherman shook his head.

"With the sewer system this strong, are you afraid of the two of you working together?"

Even the strongest elephant is afraid of parasites that burrow into its body. Even if they don't cause any fatal damage, they can still make it uncomfortable.

The fisherman explained.

"It seems that being too big isn't a good thing either."

He said sincerely.

Being too large makes one less agile, unless one can change size at will like some people from the Land of Light.

"It has no choice in itself. In the metropolis, there is no freedom, whether strong or weak."

The fisherman sighed.

"What about the city hall?"

"The fish you wanted."

The fisherman did not answer Liu Zheng's question, but instead tugged at the rope.

A huge fishing net was pulled out of the water, and dozens of large fish of different species struggled desperately inside, like a chaotic dance of demons.

The fisherman swung the rope sharply, and the fishing net grew smaller and smaller as it swung, until it was only the size of a person when it landed on the shore.

And the big fish inside all turned into small fish as long as an arm.

"I'll lend you this fishing net for now, but remember to return it to me. If I lose it, I'll use your 'flesh' to make a new one."

The fisherman threatened.

"It's just a tattered fishing net, is it really that big of a deal?"

Liu Zheng took the rope, but no item description popped out.

"You don't know anything. Get lost. I have several fish ponds to inspect."

The fisherman was too lazy to argue with this ignorant man.

"Oh."

After exiting the sewer, he handed the fishing net to the plane tree for safekeeping, and then ran towards the mummy clinic.

When we arrived at the clinic entrance, the Sphinx was still lying there, looking as bored as ever.

"Here you go, the dried fish I promised to bring you last time."

Liu Zheng poured half a bag into it.

"What do you want from me by treating me like this?"

The sphinx grabbed a handful of dried fish and asked.

"I don't want anything in return, I just want to share. If I had to put it in a way, would you consider it paying an entrance fee?"

He thought for a moment and said.

"As long as you're not here to cause trouble, I won't stop you from going in."

"The Sphinx said."

"It's just about sharing. I have a calico cat friend who has helped me a lot, and it made these dried fish too."

"Fool, I am a sphinx, not a cat."

The sphinx said disdainfully.

"It's all the same, it's all the same."

Liu Zheng said with a smile.

"I'm warning you. If you dare to touch my head or rub my hands, I'll twist your head off."

The sphinx suddenly shivered.

"How could that be? I'm not a pervert, why would I pet a cat without permission?"

He raised four tentacles to prove his innocence.

"Hmph, haven't you humans done enough perverted things?"

The sphinx spoke with an unfriendly expression, as if recalling many unpleasant memories.

"We can't generalize from a single case. Alright, I'm going in now."

Liu Zheng said.

"Wait a moment."

The Sphinx called out to him.

"what happened?"

"Don't try to trap me with these small favors. I can give you a chance, and whether you accept it or not, our deal will be settled."

it said.

"what chance?"

"I can give you a chance to answer a question. If you can answer my riddle, you will gain the ability to ask others questions."

"The person asking you the riddle cannot attack you before answering it. If they answer incorrectly, they will be cursed, which could result in death or a significant reduction in strength. Of course, this rule also applies to you."

"The Sphinx said."

"Didn't you say this is Greek mythology, and you're from Egypt?"

Liu Zheng asked, his eyes narrowed.
