Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

"Hmm, that should be enough."

The Nile doctor nodded and continued to apply the semi-solid coating to Liu Zheng's internal organs.

The scarab beetle finished defecating halfway through, so Dr. Nile gave it some more nutrition, which finished the whole can of honey beer.

Kidneys, liver, heart, lungs, intestines, stomach, and pancreas.

All the internal organs were coated with the Nile doctor's semi-solid scarab beetle paste, turning the originally different colored organs into a single color, yellowish-brown.

"I feel like you're turning me into a mummy."

Liu Zheng asked, staring into the woman's eyes.

"The process is roughly the same. If I take out your brain and apply it there, then wash all your organs with cedar oil, and then perform another ritual, you can become a half-mummy. Do you need that?"

The Nile asked.

"Why a half-mummy?"

"Because you are not a descendant of Ra, you cannot become a true mummy."

"That's what the Nile doctor said."

"What's the difference between a half-mummy and a full mummy?"

"First of all, a half-mummy's body does not have the ability to cure various diseases."

"Secondly, the intelligence of a half-mummy will degenerate more quickly."

"Finally, the half-mummy had to be under the control of the priest who performed the ritual for him."

The Nile River doctor explained.

"Good heavens, it's full of flaws. Only a fool would want to be a half-mummy."

Liu Zheng scoffed.

"There are still people willing to do it. No matter what, a half-mummy is still a long-lived species. Even if it degenerates into a puppet without self-awareness, that's a hundred years from now."

"That's true, but I don't need it."

His wish is to live a long and healthy life. No matter how the system plans to fulfill his wish, it's better than this defective product.

"Alright, now it's time for the final steps."

The Nile doctor picked up the small golden knife, inserted it into his brain through his ear, and then pulled out a smear of brain matter.

Black flames burned on the grayish-white brain matter.

That wasn't the scorching sun of the desert, but the icy flames of hell.

The Nile doctor stared at the black fire in silence for a long time, then plunged the golden dagger into the woman's head.

The grayish-white brain matter quickly burned away, leaving only the flames merging into Liu Zheng's brain, indistinguishable from his own.

"Players gain the 'Burning Rage' status, which lasts for one instance."

"Burning Rage: When a player is enraged, their strength increases while their constitution decreases. The increase in strength is positively correlated with the level of rage, and the decrease in constitution is positively correlated with the increase in strength."

A system notification sounded immediately.

The effect is slightly different from what Dr. Nile described; it's probably a modification made to adapt to the system rules, but overall it's about the same.

With this buff, his strength will increase even further.

Liu Zheng expressed great satisfaction with this.

"Okay, I'm leaving."

He said.

"Walk slowly without sending."

The Nile doctor waved his hand listlessly.

He didn't have much brain matter to begin with, and even though only a small amount was removed, it was still an unpleasant experience.

"By the way, do you still have any honey beer?"

Liu Zheng asked.

Yes, I do. Do you like to drink?

"do not like."

He shook his head.

"Then what do you need it for? It has no other use for you."

"That's what the Nile doctor said."

"Don't worry about that, just tell me if you're selling or not."

"I can only sell you one cup at most."

"That's what the Nile doctor said."

"Two drinks, or I'll find a lesbian and have her date Sesa. Don't blame me for not warning you, she's incredibly charming, exceptionally intelligent, and bisexual."

"You're being way too cruel!"

The Nile doctor was dumbfounded.

"I'm just good at making use of waste."

"Two cups it is. Five hundred per cup."

"The Nile doctor said through gritted teeth."

"can."

Liu Zheng nodded.

"Then wait."

The Nile doctor staggered into the inner room and brought out two wooden goblets filled with golden liquid.

"Give."

He paid the bill readily and then took the glass of wine.

The lack of item descriptions means that the item cannot be added to the system space.

Liu Zheng had no choice but to carry the two wine glasses into the clinic.

The sphinx glanced at him, then continued studying the patterns on the ground.

Liu Zheng said nothing, placed a glass of honey beer in front of it, and then got up and left.

"whispering sound."

Watching his departing figure, the Sphinx curled its lip.

The aroma of beer gradually rose and entered its nose.

The sphinx's nose twitched, and its expression struggled as it stared at the beer mug.

"I'll just lick it and see if this human is trying to poison me."

It suddenly muttered to itself.

Then it stuck out its tongue and licked the wine like a cat drinking water.

"Ok?"

The sphinx's eyes widened.

Then, two bites, three bites, four bites.

The wine glass was quickly licked clean.

"Hiccup~"

The Sphinx let out a burp, a satisfied expression on its face.

Chapter 189 Is your life really that cheap?

This was my second visit to the Xihe Center, and this time there were significantly fewer people than before.

Until Liu Zheng reached the gate, he only saw a few people going in and out.

A white-collar worker with graffiti-style black-rimmed glasses walked out of the office building and paused for a moment when she saw him.

Immediately, the abstract face revealed an expression that was both excited and fearful.

"What are you looking at, you four-eyed guy? Watch out or I'll beat you up."

Liu Zheng shook his tentacle.

The bespectacled office worker silently lowered his head and walked past him.

Just as the two passed each other, the bespectacled office worker suddenly pulled a pen from his pocket and plunged it into Liu Zheng's carotid artery.

His mouth, which consisted of only a black line, opened to reveal a sinister smile. There were no teeth inside; it was just pitch black.

"So you're looking for death? Then I'll grant your wish."

Without turning his head, Liu Zheng used two tentacles to bind the bespectacled office worker's arms from bottom to top.

The golden pen nib was less than a centimeter away from his carotid artery, yet it felt like an insurmountable distance.

Only then did he turn around abruptly, and then he saw the bespectacled white-collar worker's graffiti-style smile.

"That smile is so ugly!"

Liu Zheng's lips twitched, and then he swung his third tentacle and slapped him hard across the face.

"Hurry up, smile again."

The slap was so powerful that it smeared ink from the bespectacled office worker's face.

The bespectacled office worker was stunned for a moment, then gave a rather forced smile.

"It looks even worse than before."

He slapped him hard across the face again, this time sending the bespectacled office worker's mouth flying to the other side of his cheek.

"Can't you smile a little nicer? Like me, look at me, a typical sunny and cheerful big boy."

Liu Zheng grinned, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth.

The bespectacled office worker tilted his head back in fear, as if afraid Liu Zheng would bite his face off.

"With your strength and audacity, you dare to ambush me? Who gave you the courage?"

This time, Liu Zheng used a tentacle to strike the center of his face, completely disrupting his facial features.

"Tell me, why did you attack me?"

he asked.

The bespectacled man lowered his head and remained silent.

"You won't tell me, huh? Fine, I'll take you to Unlucky Coffee right now, and you can pay the tip."

As Liu Zheng spoke, he dragged him toward the direction of the Unlucky Cafe.

"I said."

The bespectacled man said in horror as he looked at the blood-dripping deer head staring at him.

"So you can talk, huh? I'll give you three chances. If you can't explain yourself clearly, you'll be getting your face ripped, your eyes scraped, and your ears cleaned."

Liu Zheng said in a sinister tone.

“Our director said that if I kill you, I can be promoted directly to assistant director, and when a vacancy comes up, I’ll release you to be a manager.”

The bespectacled man spoke quickly.

"Your director? You and Wang Manni are in the same department?"

he asked.

"A company, but not a department."

"Then why is your general manager meddling in this trivial matter?"
