Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

Si Xue said.

"Huh? I'll do it, I'll do it."

Liu Zheng quickly grabbed the teapot and carefully lifted it upwards.

Then, it didn't move.

"Good guy."

This tiny teapot, no bigger than the palm of your hand, weighs over a thousand kilograms.

"What? Is that all you've got?"

Si Xue said in a mocking tone.

"How dare I boast of my abilities in your presence?"

He said modestly.

"I don't take in trash. If you're incompetent, then die."

Si Xue's tone turned cold.

"Being incompetent doesn't mean being useless; even a used piece of toilet paper has its purpose."

Liu Zheng said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"You mean you want to go to the toilet to wipe other employees' butts?"

"Uh, that's not what I meant."

Although he knew Si Xue was just teasing him, he was still speechless.

No wonder he's a boss; he definitely has a corporate-level understanding.

"Ah."

Seeing his discomfiture, a hint of a smile flashed in Si Xue's eyes.

She stretched out her fair, jade-like hand, picked up the teapot, and poured a cup for Liu Zheng.

"Why is this so embarrassing?"

The latter spoke, but his body remained completely still.

"Alright, enough of the office games, let's get down to business."

Si Xue waved her hand to stop him from saying anything more.

"Yes."

Liu Zheng readily accepted good advice.

"Drink tea."

"Ok."

He picked up his teacup, and product descriptions popped up.

Name: Premium Da Hong Pao

Type: Miscellaneous Items

Quality: Average

Effect: None

"Note: This tea has no special effects. Its only special feature is that it is truly produced by the original Da Hong Pao mother tree."

"Can it be taken out of the instance: Yes"

"Um"

Liu Zheng downed it in one gulp, just like drinking alcohol.

"Are you disappointed?"

Si Xue saw through his thoughts.

"That's true to some extent. My wild boars can't handle fine food; good tea is the kind that enhances their strength."

He admitted it.

"I don't have the habit of picking up trash. What you can use are rare treasures. To think you can have them just because you want them after a few laughs is wishful thinking."

Si Xue said calmly.

"Yes, I was just saying that."

Liu Zheng didn't know if she was referring to the plane trees, but even he couldn't bring himself to say that.

Some things may seem insignificant on the scale, but can weigh a ton even on a scale.

"Take the things out."

Si Xue said.

"Ok."

He took the legendary delivery box off the ground and placed it on the ground, then opened the box.

"It really is Shohiko's head. I even went to attend the party in Takamagahara under a false name, and I didn't expect to see it here again."

Si Xue grabbed Shao Yanming's head with one hand, and a layer of ice spread from her large sleeve, freezing the latter.

"What a pity, they didn't kill them all. If they had, the price could have increased tenfold."

She shook her head.

"It's because your subordinates are incompetent."

Liu Zheng said with shame.

Of course, he felt no remorse whatsoever.

He's just a mortal; it would be quite an achievement if he could kill a god.

They even killed him completely. Do they really think he's some kind of legendary deliveryman?

"You're lying. What else do you have? Take it out."

Si Xue said.

"Ah? What?"

Liu Zheng asked, puzzled.

"Don't play dumb. You clearly have an aura similar to this head."

"Oh, I understand. Please wait a moment."

He silently recited the name of the Great Sun Goddess in his heart, and the golden magatama quickly appeared before his eyes.

"Oh, the mark of the Great Sun. You're getting more and more marks on you, are you some kind of popular tourist attraction?"

Si Xue couldn't help but complain.

"a ha ha ha."

Liu Zheng gave an awkward laugh; he didn't know how to explain the situation.

Then again, Si Xue herself had left something inside him, so what right did she have to criticize him?

"I'll take both of these. Tell me, what do you want?"

Si Xue pointed to Shao Yanming's head, then to the golden magatama phantom and said.

"Oh, this mark can be sold too?"

Liu Zheng asked in surprise.

"It's no easy task for others, but for me, it's a piece of cake."

Si Xue said it casually.

"But."

He hesitated.

"But what? You actually want to follow the Takamagahara pantheon? You must have lost your mind."

Si Xue mocked mercilessly.

"No, that's not it. I'm just worried that if I sell the mark, the Great Sun God will be angry with me."

Liu Zheng shook his head.

He had no intention of joining any pantheon, and even if he had to join one, he would rather join the pantheon of the sun god Ra.

Although the chief god Ra himself was half-dead, at least he had the Nile doctor, a familiar face.

Moreover, if the French sycamore really chooses to evolve into a Winged Dragon of Ra, then it will have a powerful backer, and it will be able to do whatever it wants within the pantheon.

Although Da Ri Gui gave him the mark, it was purely a transactional relationship with no emotional basis whatsoever.

Strictly speaking, he was even guilty of blasphemy, but the latter did not pursue the matter.

"Don't worry, as a supreme god, as long as you don't use His mark to do anything strange, He won't have time to bother with you."

Si Xue said.

"Um"

Liu Zheng hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

He certainly wouldn't do anything strange, but Si Xue might very well use it for something strange.

Da Ri Gui might not have the guts to cause trouble for Si Xue, but he not only has the guts to cause trouble for him, he has a great deal of guts.

"You're such a hassle. Sometimes you're incredibly bold, and other times you're as timid as a mouse. I'll give you a 50% premium, or you can just take it or leave it."

Si Xue was getting impatient.

"Sell!"

Liu Zheng said with absolute certainty.

Offending Da Ri Gui might bring bad luck, but offending Si Xue will definitely bring bad luck.

Moreover, a 50% premium is not low; apart from Si Xue, no one else would buy it, let alone at a premium.

"You're smart to know what's good for you. Tell me, what do you want?"

"I want the corpse of the wood elf royalty in the kitchen."

He said.

"Sure. Anything else?"

"besides."

After his initial surprise, Liu Zheng hesitated.

The surprise was that Si Xue agreed so readily, but the hesitation stemmed from his uncertainty about how much value remained.

Si Xue wouldn't go so far as to cheat him, but she also wouldn't have the patience to let him test the bottom price again and again.

"I'd like another cosplay outfit."

After thinking for a long time, Liu Zheng finally spoke.

Although Si Xue certainly has many better things, the effect of the cosplay outfit is what he is most familiar with, and its practicality is also very high.

"No."

Si Xue shook her head.

Is it not enough or not good enough?

he asked tentatively.

"For you, there is no difference between the two."

Si Xue said.

"Alright. Boss, you can decide for me. I just want something that functions similarly to a cosplay outfit."

Liu Zheng, a bachelor, said.
