Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

However, the instinct of most organisms is to conform; people of the same race and culture tend to stick together.

Although Granny Tang's identity is mysterious and she has many talented people under her command, she is generally based in Japan.

Furthermore, among all the bathhouses in the area, Grandma Tang was the one with the strongest motive to take action against the Gaga Shuang Bathhouse.

Back then, when Ga Ga Shuang Bathhouse made a strong entry into Bathhouse Street, it affected all the bathhouses on the street, but the biggest impact was on Grandma Tang and the bathhouses under her control.

Grandma Tang was originally the undisputed leader of the bathhouse district, but the success of Ga Ga Shuang Bathhouse made other bathhouses question her position as the leader.

"Even if it's true, it's not a good idea to retaliate directly without evidence."

The fourth brother scratched his head and said.

Other bathhouses certainly wanted to replace Grandma Tang, but they were just as wary of Ga Ga Shuang Bathhouse.

If GaGaShuang Bathhouse were to take this opportunity to challenge Grandma Tang again, who knows if they were simply seeking revenge or trying to take things further.

Newcomers like Gaga Shuang Bathhouse, which have built their success step by step, are far more formidable than conservative old-fashioned establishments like Grandma Tang.

If they really become the leaders of the bathhouse district, the other bathhouses will only be worse off than they are now.

Therefore, even if other bathhouses also believe that it was Grandma Tang who did it, they will not admit it to save face.

Even if Yuan Bao'er obtains evidence, they will step in to smooth things over and prevent Gaga Shuang Bathhouse from gaining too much advantage.

"Damn it, we didn't go all out in that fight back then. I should have brought more men and taken down those bastards on Bath Street in one go."

Having suffered such a huge loss, Yuan Bao'er could no longer maintain her composure as a boss.

"That is, that is."

The fourth brother outwardly agreed, but inwardly rolled his eyes.

That fight back then wasn't fierce enough. There hadn't been such a big conflict in Bath Street for hundreds of years, otherwise Grandma Tang wouldn't have waited for decades to take action.

As for the idea of ​​a one-time solution, that's just wishful thinking. People are forgetful; even immortal beings only remember the good times but not the bad.

"Hey, don't rush to discuss killing people yet, help me hurry up with the food preparation first."

Liu Zheng lay on the sofa, raised his intact tentacle, and patted the coffee table to attract their attention.

After going through these rounds of battles, he and the guys at the GaGaShuang Bathhouse had become like brothers, and his attitude had become much more casual.

The main issue is that Liu Zheng is currently in a rather dire situation.

That female ninja's poisoned blade was truly potent; even a trace of residual poison continued to corrode his body.

After he had completely consumed the toxins, his body size shrank to one-third of its original size.

Now, Liu Zheng can even sit at the children's table with the vampire girl when they eat at banquets.

"Right away."

The fourth brother quickly picked up the walkie-talkie.

"Kitchen! Kitchen! Why hasn't Mr. Liu's food been served yet?"

He shouted into the walkie-talkie.

"Fourth Manager, it's ready. It'll be delivered right away."

"That's what they said on the walkie-talkie."

"Hurry up, don't bother with the plating, Mr. Liu doesn't like that."

The fourth brother gave instructions.

"okay."

Soon, the kitchen staff brought the dishes over on a cart.

The rest were all large portions of delicious home-style dishes, such as braised chicken with mushrooms, stir-fried pork slices, stir-fried potatoes, green peppers, and braised pork ribs.

There was only a gilded casserole covered with a lid, on which were nine small golden dragons, their claws gripping the edge of the rim of the casserole, making it look very mysterious and noble.

"Mr. Liu, I'm not exaggerating, but even your Bloody Restaurant might not have this dish."

The fourth brother walked over and said with a smug look on his face.

"The things inside are Mr. Yuan's family heirlooms. If it weren't for your sake, he wouldn't even let anyone see them, let alone cook them."

"Stop bragging and you'll make a fool of yourself in front of President Liu. What kind of place is Bloody Restaurant? What kind of treasure can't they have?"

Yuan Bao'er said this, but a smile also appeared on her face.

"Oh? Then I'll have to give it a try."

Just as General Manager Liu was about to lift the lid, he was stopped by the fourth brother.

"Mr. Liu, please don't rush. Eat the other dishes first. This dish should be saved for last."

"Oh, okay."

He nodded and rolled up a piece of braised pork bone.

They ate voraciously, devoured everything, and after a whirlwind of eating, only scraps remained of the once abundant table of food.

"Hiccup~"

Liu Zheng let out a burp.

The food at Gaga Shuang Bathing Beach was already famous, and Yuan Bao'er had ordered that no expense be spared, so the dishes were naturally all large in quantity and delicious in taste.

Although the taste was not quite the same as the staff meals at the Bloody Restaurant, the ingredients at the Bathhouse Kitchen were much cleaner and more hygienic compared to the questionable quality of the staff meals. This meal was both reassuring and satisfying.

Rubbing his slightly protruding belly, Liu Zheng took a liking to the casserole.

Now only this final dish is left.

"Is it ready to eat, Manager Si?"

He addressed Yuan Bao'er rather politely.

"Please wait a moment, Mr. Liu, let me take a look."

The fourth brother walked over and casually picked up a chopstick and tapped it on the casserole.

"Dang~"

A sound like gongs rang out, and the clay pot immediately began to shake violently.

"It's still going strong, we'll have to wait a bit longer. How about I get Mr. Liu some more vegetables with dipping sauce to cleanse his palate?"

The fourth brother shook his head and said.

"Okay."

Liu Zheng readily accepted good advice.

Even though he's no longer considered human, it's still important to maintain a balanced diet.

After finishing a table full of vegetables with dipping sauce, the fourth brother picked up his chopsticks and tapped the clay pot again.

After the gong sounded this time, the clay pot stopped shaking.

"Alright, please enjoy, Mr. Liu."

The fourth brother stepped aside, far away.

He was afraid that if he got too close, he would smell the aroma and drool.

"Why all the secrecy?"

Liu Zheng lifted the pot lid, and a fragrant aroma of meat and herbs wafted out.

However, there was no meat or herbs in the pot, only a pool of clear water, and a small figure with its eyes tightly closed was floating in the water.

The little figure was only the size of a palm, with a few green leaves growing on its head and wearing a red bib.

The key is her curvaceous figure, which can even be described as extremely voluptuous; putting aside her physique, she looks quite alluring.

Name: The Comatose Ginseng Doll

Type: Item

Quality: Excellent

"Effect 1: Replenishes a large amount of physical strength."

"Effect 2: Gain the 'Full of Energy' status. This effect cannot be triggered simultaneously with Effect 3."

"Effect 2: If the player is currently in a dying state, it can prevent the injury from worsening naturally for one hour. It cannot be triggered at the same time as Effect 2."

"Note: I've said it countless times, orphanages do not allow the adoption of ginseng babies. Get out!"

"Can it be taken out of the instance: No"

"Uh"

Liu Zheng's lips twitched slightly.

This item is full of flaws, both in appearance and description.

"System, what do you mean by preventing the injury from worsening naturally?"

he asked.

"For example, if a player is beheaded without 'Flesh Regeneration', they can survive until the item's effect ends without suffering any other damage."

The system provides an example to illustrate this.

"Oh, I think I understand now."

Liu Zheng nodded.

Although the application scenarios are quite demanding, the effect is still very powerful.

After all, you only have one life, and anything that can save your life will often have a high premium.

It's a pity he can't take it out of the instance, otherwise he would have had another trump card.

"Mr. Yuan, may I take this ginseng doll with me?"

Liu Zheng looked at the word "coma" in the item's name and said.

"Of course, this was originally a small gift I planned to give to you, Mr. Liu."

Yuan Bao'er nodded.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Yuan."

He put the ginseng doll into his system space.

The reason why the baby doesn't eat ginseng is not because it looks like a human.

Having spent so long in the metropolis, Liu Zheng's moral standards aren't as high as they were at the beginning.

Not eating it serves two purposes: saving it for emergencies and saving it for trading with others.

Putting aside others, he felt that the French plane tree was very likely to be interested in the ginseng doll, since the two were, to some extent, similar.

"By the way, Mr. Liu, if you release it, remember to find a gold container to isolate it, otherwise it will easily escape."

The fourth brother reminded him.

"That's it."

Liu Zheng's gaze fell on the gilded casserole.

"How can you talk like that, Fourth Brother? We have one right here at home. Do you want Mr. Liu to go find another one? Go wash this clay pot clean, pack it up, and bring it with you for Mr. Liu to take with him later."

Yuan Bao'er immediately said.

"I'm so sorry, but don't bother, I'll just pack it up and take it with me."

While being polite, he unceremoniously packed the gilded casserole into the delivery box.

Yuan Bao'er and Lao Si's eyelids twitched as they watched.

This guy really doesn't treat himself like an outsider. Even when Zhen Xinzhai came, he didn't treat her like this, eating and taking things.

Just then, Yuan Bao'er's walkie-talkie rang.

"Mr. Yuan, we're back."

Uncle Liu's voice came out.

"Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Liu. How are our people doing?"
