Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

Chapter 418 The System, I hope you'll be more sensible.

"You'd better take a look at the road ahead first, lest you attract the attention of the green vests."

Liu Zheng squinted and said.

"What, are you scared?"

The colonel wore a mocking smile.

"Afraid."

He admitted it without hesitation.

They even dared to set the Metropolis on fire, without even considering who they are.

If you blow up a building, you'll be chased to the border; if you burn down a street, you'll be hunted down to the ends of the universe.

The driver and Red Ghost together got crushed by the City Hall, so how could he possibly take down the Metropolis?

"Tch, as expected, your purity is still not high enough."

The driver put away his pistol, and the illusion before his eyes vanished.

"Generally speaking, alloys tend to have better performance."

Liu Zheng retorted.

"But this isn't an ordinary place; this is a metropolis. Only those with high enough purity can reach higher stages. You'll understand later."

the driver said.

"Then I'd better not understand."

He thought to himself.

Firstly, he has no future; secondly, it's best if he doesn't have a future.

The Metropolis is exciting, but too exciting; once is enough.

Simplicity is the best. Atlantis is the best place. The people are kind and honest, and life is peaceful. Going there to do dungeons is like going on vacation.

"System, I hope you can be more sensible."

Liu Zheng spoke to the system in his mind.

Of course, the latter did not react at all.

"I'll go back and rest a bit, and also stock up on some ammunition. I won't wait for you outside. Contact me when you need a car."

"Back at the Bloody Restaurant," the driver said to him.

"Ok."

Liu Zheng responded and walked into the delivery lane.

"You finally decided to come back, kid. I thought you were going to run away."

Once inside the lounge, Niu Ma complained.

"I didn't run away when I crossed the border, but I ran away when I came back. I'm afraid I must have some serious illness."

He said speechlessly.

"Hmph, who knows? What if you just can't bear to leave the glitz and glamour of the metropolis?"

Cattle and horses forcibly made their way onto the road.

"I didn't get to see the glamorous world, but the grass was really quite weedy."

Liu Zheng rolled his eyes.

"You little brat, you've gotten too big for your britches after just one trip abroad. You've learned to be assertive."

The ox and horse were about to swear when they lost face, but swallowed their words back.

"I got some local specialties packed from the bathhouse area, and some aged wine from the Yakuza bathhouse. Boss, why don't you eat and drink your fill before you start scolding me?"

He took out the food and drinks from the legendary delivery box and said with a smile.

"Don't think you can get rid of me with a little food and drink. After I finish eating, you're still going to get a good beating. Now get it over with to me."

The ox and horse grumbled and cursed.

"Alright, enjoy your meal, sir."

Liu Zheng walked to the haystack and arranged the wine and dishes in order.

"What's with that dead man's head?"

As Niu Ma rummaged through the food and drinks, he asked a question.

The moment the legendary delivery box was opened, it sensed the presence of Shao Yanming's head.

"Oh, that's the head of a god, slaughtered on Bath Street. I originally wanted to sell it to De Lego, but he said that this thing was designated for Peacock, and no one else dared to take it or help me resell it."

"I just wanted to take it back and ask Napoleon if he wanted it, or ask the boss if she was interested in it."

Liu Zheng said.

"You dare to do business with the boss? I think you're really tired of living."

The ox and horse glared at him and said.

Although Liu Zheng had already offended Peacock and Mr. Li, who were at the same level, those two were not subordinate to him after all.

The city hall can stop Peacock from attacking him, but it cannot stop Si Xue from disciplining her subordinates, unless the Supreme Speaker personally intervenes.

"Even fathers and sons should keep clear accounts. The boss is so beautiful, generous, and wealthy, she must understand the hardships of a small employee like me."

Liu Zheng said respectfully.

He was saying this to Si Xue, of course.

"Every day, I don't know where so many of them come from, cough, so obedient."

The ox and horse muttered something.

It originally meant to say, "Where did all this flattery come from?", but luckily it realized its mistake and changed its words.

Having just been nearly beaten to death by Si Xue last time, it didn't want to spend another half a day lying on the ground like a pupa.

"Alright, you two can talk amongst yourselves."

Niu Ma dialed Bai Yu Ji's number and handed the phone to Liu Zheng.

"Human, when will you complete my request?"

The white-feathered chicken immediately questioned him.

"It'll be done soon, don't worry, I will definitely keep your matter in mind."

Liu Zheng gave a perfunctory reply.

"That would be best. Otherwise, I'll put your heart on my oven."

The white-feathered chicken threatened.

"Then I suggest washing it several times with toilet cleaner, because my heart is rather dirty."

He said seriously.

Are you kidding me?

The white-feathered rooster spoke with a slightly stern tone.

"Of course I wouldn't dare. It was just some lighthearted banter to liven things up. After all, my boss is eating, and being too serious might affect his mood."

Liu Zheng found an excuse.

"You all say what you want, don't drag me into this. Napoleon, if you don't like this kid, just take him and do whatever you want with him, fry, boil, roast, or grill him, just keep his head so he can live."

The ox and horse said without even looking up.

"You really spoil your subordinates too much, you beasts of burden. If everyone were like you, how would you manage the restaurant staff?"

Napoleon said with some dissatisfaction.

It was also a prodigy who transformed from a pet chicken into a bloodthirsty chef, so how could it not understand what cows and horses meant?

If my little brother makes a mistake or speaks rudely, you can punish him, but you can't kill him.

But given Liu Zheng's recovery ability, not going all out would be no different from not punishing him at all.

"Don't give me that. Each department in the restaurant operates independently. When has it ever affected other departments?"

"If you can't manage the people in the kitchen, then it means you're incompetent, and it has nothing to do with me."

The ox and horse retorted sarcastically.

"Fine, fine, then try not to come to the kitchen for leftovers again."

Napoleon said angrily.

"Then don't expect me to buy things for you outside anymore."

The ox and the horse argued sharply.

"Uh, you two bosses, calm down. Don't let me ruin your relationship."

Liu Zheng tried to mediate the fight.

"Fuck off!"

The oxen, horses, and white-feathered chickens roared at him at the same time.

"Okay, I'll go to the boss and report some work to her."

He nimbly lay down on the ground, then curled himself into a ball and rolled toward the door.

"return!"

The oxen, horses, and white-feathered chickens shouted in unison.

"okay!"

Liu Zheng rolled back again.

What work do you need to report?

The ox and the horse asked.

"Oh, I think the antagonism between the delivery department and the kitchen is too serious. I'm planning to suggest to the boss that the two departments be merged into one."

He said with a serious look on his face.

"No way! Since the Bloody Restaurant was established, the takeout department and the kitchen have been separate. How can we change that so easily?"

The white-feathered rooster said loudly.

"That's right, that's right."

The cattle and horses echoed this sentiment.

A department can only have two leaders; merging them will only make both of them unhappy.

Those who don't become the leader certainly don't want to be the second-in-command, and those who do become the leader don't like having a second-in-command with the same abilities as themselves.

While Niu and Ma have been planning to establish their own independent businesses, they haven't succeeded yet.

It would be too suffocating to spend the rest of his life as Napoleon's second-in-command.

Moreover, the seniority of someone who leaves as the head of a department is completely different from that of someone who leaves as the second-in-command.

If someone else had made such an opinion, they would either beat the idiot to a pulp or just ignore it like a fart.

But they really didn't dare to gamble on Liu Zheng.

After all, his record was just too incredible, and he was summoned by the boss far too often.

Summoned three times in eight days—such a frequency is something they wouldn't even dare to imagine, let alone witness it firsthand.

"But I'm worried that if the two ministers continue like this, it will interfere with their work."

Liu Zheng said with concern.

"No, that's not true. We're very close, practically like half-brothers."

The cattle and horses vehemently denied it.
