Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

"hehe."

He pursed his lips, looking like he didn't believe you even if you were a ghost.

"meet again."

He greeted the Sphinx as he passed it.

The sphinx twitched its tail in response.

As the cattle and horses passed by, a claw-like shadow, swift as lightning, grabbed directly at their rear ends.

The oxen and horses swung their tails, shattering the claw shadows.

"Hey, didn't catch it. You, a perfectly fine lion, why are you trying to rip someone out of a hyena's anus?"

The ox and horse laughed smugly.

"Alright, alright, stop arguing. These two are practically inhuman, probably hundreds or even thousands of years old combined, why are they acting like children?"

Liu Zheng quickly stepped between them to mediate the fight.

"What business is it of yours, a mere underling, to interfere in my affairs?"

"Meddlesome humans."

The bulls, horses, and sphinx together diverted the hatred.

“I’m in charge, but what’s it to you? If you keep delaying our business, you can forget about the deal with Bad Coffee. As for you, I just brought in a whole bunch of top-quality fish from the sewers. If you still want to eat dried fish, you’ll have to wait until I’m not around to beat it up.”

Liu Zheng put his hands on his hips and said.

"You dare threaten me, kid? You've gone against the Heavenly Gang, haven't you? Hmph, since you're a female, I won't stoop to your level."

The ox and horse proudly raised their heads and walked into the clinic.

The sphinx tilted its head and looked at Liu Zheng. Just as he was about to speak, a tremendous force came from its rear end, and then it flew into the clinic.

"Hahaha, serves you right for meddling in other people's business. Now you know that lioness is not someone to mess with, right? Don't think that all females are so easy to seduce. There are plenty of people, even non-humans, who won't fall for your tricks."

Niu Ma laughed loudly as he watched Liu Zheng land face-first on the ground.

“I wouldn’t have done this if I had done it myself. I’m only doing this because of you. How dare you say that?”

Liu Zheng rolled his eyes and got up from the ground.

"You two arrived one after the other, and now you're both here. What, has my clinic been turned into your delivery department's break room?"

The Nile doctor came out of the inner room and said somewhat speechlessly.

"What, you're not welcome? I hereby announce that your clinic has been requisitioned as a temporary rest stop for our delivery department. How about that?"

He said in a loud and boisterous manner.

"You shameless person, it's been the same for over a decade. So, what do you need my help with this time?"

The Nile doctor shook his head and asked.

"What do you mean you need help? We're here to help you. Liu Zheng, show this old bandage guy the good stuff I bought."

The oxen and horses shook their heads.

"What do you mean you bought it? It was clearly bought by someone else. Oh well, never mind."

Liu Zheng took out the Hell Honey Yogurt and handed it to the Nile Doctor.

"What is this?"

he asked doubtfully.

The stronger the residents of the metropolis, the more they can see the effects of items, but they are not always effective.

"This is hell honey yogurt, a specialty of the cemetery. It's said that drinking it can refresh the mind. I thought it might be useful for Sesha, so I bought two more bottles."

Liu Zheng explained.

"real?!"

The Nile doctor let out a cry of surprise, and the bandages on his face moved.

"It's hard to say, but it would definitely have been beneficial for the deceased to drink it. If all else fails, just drink it like a beverage."

He shrugged.

After all, it's just the description in the notes, not as reliable as the results directly stated in the effects section.

However, improving mental attributes can improve intelligence and memory, and since it improves all attributes, it will be somewhat useful.

"Okay, okay, I'll have Sesha try it in a bit."

"The Nile doctor said excitedly."

"Why don't you just give it to her now? We can see the effects firsthand."

Liu Zheng suggested.

"Heh, you're dreaming! As long as you're around, I won't let Sesha show her face in public."

"That's what the Nile doctor said firmly."

"Hey, that's a bit hurtful."

He said with dissatisfaction.

The way he says that makes it sound like he's some kind of beast who enjoys raping other men's wives and daughters.

"You're not human. Hurry up and tell me, how much?"

"The Nile doctor asked."

"The original price is 100,000, but I will pay some price to give it a 90% discount, making it 10,000 per bottle."

Liu Zheng said.

"I'll pay you the original price. Is there anything else? If not, then hurry up and leave."

The Nile doctor took out 200,000 from the cashier's counter and handed it to him, then said impatiently.

He made 180,000 yuan in no time. No wonder he runs a clinic, he's so extravagant.

"There's something else. I've taken on a job to rescue someone in the bathhouse district, and I need an assistant. I've been thinking about it, and you're the only suitable person I know. Would you be willing to come with me?"

Liu Zheng put the money away and said.

"Bathhouse Street? When?"

"The Nile doctor asked."

"It's hard to say, it could be today, or it could be tomorrow."

he replied.

Theoretically speaking, it would be most legitimate to have the Sumire clan order takeout for Haruko, and then he could directly deliver the takeout and rescue her.

However, considering the journey there, plus the time spent gathering information and getting acquainted with the Gaga Shuang Bathhouse, the delivery timeframe is probably more than eight hours.

He doubted whether the Violet Clan could afford the price.

If he can't afford to order takeout, then Liu Zheng can only go during his holidays.

"Okay, just call me before you leave."

"The Nile doctor said without hesitation."

"it is good."

Liu Zheng nodded without saying anything more.

Given the relationship between the Nile River doctor and their delivery department, many things don't need to be said; they're all understood in their hearts.

"Is there anything else this time?"

"The Nile doctor asked."

"Nothing."

He shook his head.

"Then let's get out of here!"

The Nile doctor carried them out of the clinic, one in each hand.

Don't let his skinny appearance fool you, he's surprisingly strong.

Liu Zheng estimated that even if he resisted with all his might, he wouldn't be able to defeat him.

"Haha, so you've finally gotten kicked out one day."

The cow and horse burst into laughter again.

Seeing this kid get thwarted three times in one day, I guess today's trip wasn't a complete waste.

"Hey bro, could you please keep your laughter down when you're gloating? It's hurting my eyes."

Liu said expressionlessly.

"Hmph, I'm naturally a cheerful person, so what! Hurry up and give me my money back."

The oxen and horses stretched out their hands.

"Give."

He counted out 120,000 and handed it to the oxen and horses, but they did not withdraw their hands.

"what?"

"Don't play dumb, it's interest."

"The ox and horse said."

"No, I only borrowed it for less than an hour, how dare you ask for interest?"

Liu Zheng was shocked.

"So what? Even if it's just for a second, the interest must be paid in full. Hurry up, don't give it to me and take it yourself."

The oxen and horses were about to move their hooves and horns.

"Oh, oh, oh, it's my bad luck."

He quickly stepped back, dodging the horse's hooves, and gave it another stack of money.

"Just five thousand?"

The ox and horse counted the money and their eyes widened.

"I'm only borrowing it for a short while, five thousand yuan in interest is already pretty good. Take it or leave it, not a penny more, or you can kill me if you want."

Liu Zheng stretched his neck, looking like a scoundrel who would rather die than lose money.

"Oh, oh, oh, it's my bad luck."

The ox and the horse spoke the exact same words and swallowed all the banknotes.

"Let's go."

He greeted the Sphinx.

"If there are no dried fish next time you come, don't even think about getting in."

A deep roar sounded in Liu Zheng's ears.

"Sure, I'll let you eat until you're stuffed."

He said with great pride.

He made 80,000 yuan just by reselling his goods. With that kind of money-making efficiency, even cattle and horses should acknowledge him as their boss.

"Hmph, that's best."

Upon hearing Liu Zheng's assurance, the Sphinx closed its eyes.

"Actually, this lioness is also a good match. She has a big butt, which makes her more fertile. And judging from her human face, you two shouldn't have any reproductive barriers."

The ox and horse rolled their eyes and said.

"How did you know? Did you see it?"

"correct."
