Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

But he was really just a passerby. Even if he spent 25 hours a day causing trouble and maximized his efficiency, he could not achieve any great feats. At most, he would only cause some major destruction.

"Don't underestimate your abilities, young man. Although I don't know what you did before, judging from your performance when you entered the restaurant, your potential is limitless; you just need a platform."

"And the restaurant is a great platform, so let's do a good job."

The driver patted Liu Zheng on the shoulder again, then climbed back into the tank.

"Platform? More like a slaughterhouse table."

The Nile doctor sneered.

"Don't be fooled by how well you're doing now. One wrong move and you'll be torn apart and frozen in a cold storage. And those people who call you brothers now will come and try to get some scraps from you."

"Don't be foolish, Liu Zheng. You must get away if you get the chance. Even eating shit in the sewers is much safer than staying in the Bloody Restaurant."

he said seriously.

"Uh, actually, if possible, I wouldn't want to eat shit either."

Liu Zheng remained silent.

"Then it depends on your abilities. If you can join the city hall and work as a junior staff member in one of the logistics departments, that would be the best option."

"At that time, I might consider letting you meet with Sesha."

"That's what the Nile doctor said."

A food delivery driver who could die on the road at any moment is naturally not qualified to marry Sesha.

However, if you are a city hall employee, then it's worth considering.

The Nile doctor did not intend for Sesha to succeed him as the priestess of the sun god, as this profession was both an honor and a responsibility, and Sesha was clearly not intelligent enough to bear such a responsibility.

Of course, as a fully formed mummy, his lifespan was naturally longer than that of Sesa, who was only half-finished.

His dissatisfaction with Liu Zheng stemmed mainly from the fact that the latter was too troublesome and was doing the extremely dangerous job of a food delivery driver.

If Liu Zhengzhen were to leave the restaurant and find a stable job, then Dr. Nile wouldn't mind giving him a chance.

After all, rain is inevitable, and daughters need to get married; he couldn't keep Sesha by his side forever.

Moreover, that traitor is still alive, and Doctor Nile will take revenge one day.

The mournful cries of his kin before their deaths still echoed in his ears day and night.

"Don't worry, I will definitely prepare a dowry that is more generous than you can imagine."

"That's what the Nile doctor said."

He amassed a great fortune on his own, and also inherited a portion of the legacy of the descendants of Ra.

Not to mention providing the young couple with a comfortable life, he can also provide financial assistance if Liu Zheng wants to pursue a career in politics.

"what?"

The Nile doctor's eyes lit up.

Thinking about it this way, instead of forcibly killing that traitor, it would be better to deal with him after Liu Zheng climbs to a high position in the city hall.

Anyway, with this kid's ability to get along with everyone, as long as he has the support of connections and money, he'll definitely be able to get a minor official position.

"Doctor, why don't you get in the car and think about it slowly?"

Liu Zheng stretched out a tentacle, waved it in front of him, and said helplessly.

"Ah, oh, okay. Sigh, I'm getting old, I just get distracted."

The Nile doctor followed him and climbed into the tank.

"Sigh, so much ammunition wasted. Liu Zheng, if you keep making me this bored, I'll have to charge you for emotional distress."

Looking at the full load of ammunition, the driver said with some dissatisfaction.

"Don't worry, you'll need it."

Liu Zheng comforted him.

"What? Where do you want to go later?"

"I asked the driver."

"Nowhere. But Grandma Tang definitely won't let us go back so easily."

"You're right, they've arrived."

The driver suddenly spoke, then pointed to the scope.

Liu Zheng moved closer to the scope and looked ahead.

Like the distorted view of an old-fashioned television, in the distant dense forest, many strangely shaped monsters were moving towards them.

The three demons in the lead had almost identical faces, only different colors: blue, white, and red.

The weapons they used were also different: the blue monster dragged a thick, long spiked club, the white monster carried a two-meter-long nodachi, and the red monster held a slender naginata.

These three monsters are all about three meters tall, taller and wider than a standing polar bear.

Their bodies are covered in fur, and their hands are more like bear paws than human hands.

Except for his face, which looks like a demon mask, he looks no different from a bear.

"Is it within reach, Colonel?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"It's unlikely, but we can give it a try."

The driver shook his head and said.

The "Hound" is a defense and speed-specialized type, with relatively weak firepower to begin with, and an even weaker fire control system.

"Let's fire a shot at them first."

He said decisively.

Even if it doesn't hit anyone, it'll at least make a sound.

He's been out for so long this time, and he hasn't heard the sound of an explosion yet, which is a bit strange.

"Haha, good! You go load the shells, I'll operate the cannon."

The driver said happily.

With Liu Zheng's skill in operating the "Hound" cannon, it wasn't that he wasn't confident of hitting the target, but rather that he was certain he wouldn't.

Don't accidentally kill Niu Daji's two brothers with one shot; that would be a huge blunder.

He had already made enough blunders on the battlefield; he didn't want to have to use this method to increase his kill count after retirement.

"Okay, which one should we use first?"

Liu Zheng looked at the mountain of shells and asked.

"At this distance, use the one with the lightning bolt drawn on it."

The driver thought for a moment and then said.

"okay."

He had now returned to his original form, and bent down to pick up the shell the driver had mentioned with his tentacles.

Then, his whole body convulsed.

"Holy crap, how come this is electrified?"

Liu Zheng blurted out a curse word without thinking.

"It's probably been sitting there for too long, and it's leaking electricity a bit. Okay, what's the harm in a shock? Put it back in quickly."

The driver said nonchalantly.

"I really admire you for being the loader."

He complained as he endured the constant electric shocks and stuffed the shell into the loading port.

"Stop your whining. You can't even handle this little bit of hardship? You want to drive a tank?"

The driver scolded.

Once the battle began, he seemed to transform back into the colonel commanding the steel torrent.

"Yes, sir! Shell loading complete!"

Liu Zhengli said.

"Very well, let these ugly monsters taste the power of human artillery! Hahahaha!"

The driver laughed wildly and pulled the lever.

"Oh!"

Although it didn't have the earth-shattering impact of "Little Kitty"

Despite its imposing manner, the "hound" still let out a deafening roar.

As soon as the pointed shell left the muzzle, it left a long trail of flame, with tiny sparks flashing around it.

If Liu Zheng and the others were outside, they could smell a faint fishy odor from the ozone in the air.

"Fuck!"

About two seconds after the shell flew, a large amount of lightning suddenly erupted from its tail.

The shell, already so fast it left afterimages, accelerated again, hurtling into the dense forest at a speed too fast for the naked eye to follow.

The targets of these shells were completely unaware of the danger at that moment.

"Seriously, why can those two enjoy themselves in the bathhouse district while we have to fight people outside?"

In the dense forest, a monster with a bright red face asked.

"Shut up, Golden Bear Child. Ibaraki-doji and Shuten-doji went there to heal their wounds, not to enjoy themselves. Don't talk nonsense."

The monster with the large blue face scolded.

"Why are you being mean to me, Bear Boy? I'm injured too, and I need to heal myself."

Golden Bear Boy raised his arm and said aggrievedly.

On an arm thicker than an adult male's thigh, there was a wound about the width of a little finger, which had already scabbed over.

"By the time you reach the entrance of the Hundred Ghosts Parade, your wounds will have already healed."

Bear Paw said speechlessly.

"Alright, alright, you two stop arguing. Golden Bear Boy, stop complaining too. Once we kill those city folks, we can have some fun at the Hundred Ghosts Guild, right?"

"It was the tiger-bear boy with the big white face who said that."

"Hehehe, then I must play with a few more. Those farmed women are so stupid. They won't scream when poked, they won't yell when bitten, and they still have that half-dead expression even when their legs are torn off."

"Kim Ung-dong complained."

"It's all because you're so rough every time. None of the humans you've played with have survived. If you could learn to be a little gentler, would the King still stop you from playing with those high-class items?"

"That's what Kuma-dōji said."

The humans raised in Mount Ooe are naturally divided into several levels, with the highest-level humans having reached the average level of human appearance and intelligence.

With a little training from the buyer, it's excellent whether used for work or as a pet.

Grandma Tang also sourced goods from Dajiang Mountain, and that's how the two connected.

"Tch, I don't even know how to spell the word 'gentle.' Besides, they're just a bunch of animals, what's there to care about? Just play them until they die and then have another one."

"Golden Bear Boy muttered."

"Do you think humans are monsters, born that big? Even with growth-enhancing feed, it takes at least several years to reach market weight. If we can't deliver on time, are you going to pay the penalty?"

Even Tiger Bear Child couldn't help but criticize it this time.

"That won't do. My meager dividends aren't even enough for food, drinks, and entertainment. No losses, no losses."

Bear Paw shook his head vigorously.

The Four Demon Kings are essentially senior partners in Mount Ooe, so in addition to their salaries, they also receive dividends.

"Then you should stop thinking about those high-end items. If it weren't for the Green Bear Child keeping a close eye on you, your share of the profits would have been deducted long ago."
