Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

Yes, although he seems to be suffering both in public and in private.

"Back in the day, those legendary delivery drivers were way more carefree than you."

Si Xue commented.

"I dare not compare myself to that big shot."

Liu Zheng quickly replied.

"Do you think you can clear your name? We're all human, we all like to cause trouble. You even inherited his disguise and delivery box."

“You may think it’s just a coincidence, but in other people’s eyes, you are their chosen successor.”

“Some people even suspect that you are his illegitimate child.”

Si Xue sneered.

"Uh, this age doesn't match up, does it?"

Liu Zheng remained silent.

“There are plenty of ways to change your age, and there are also ways to freeze time. For someone like the legendary deliveryman, it’s not a difficult thing.”

Si Xue shook her head.

"Well, there's nothing I can do about it. As long as I know I'm not like that, that's enough. What others think is their business. I just need to do my job well."

He shrugged.

Whether Liu Zheng is the illegitimate son of the legendary deliveryman or not, these bastards all want to kill him, that's pretty much it.

Then again, how does he resemble the legendary food delivery driver?

He certainly didn't do things like taking clothes to pay for prostitution or using underwear to pay the bill.

Hmm, probably not?

"is it?"

Si Xue glanced at Liu Zheng, threw the fishing rod on the ground, and returned to the pavilion.

He lay quietly on the ground, looking at the cave ceiling covered with ice and snow, waiting for his body to recover.

After a while, four thin tentacles grew out, and the shattered sternum began to take shape.

He got up and casually picked up the fishing rod from the ground.

Unsurprisingly, the item description did not appear.

"whispering sound."

Liu Zheng pursed his lips, threw away the fishing rod like Si Xue, and looked at his arms.

A black laser pointer and a silver bell collar.

Judging from the colors, the former should be the prototype of the black tabby cat, while the latter is the prototype of the silver gradient.

He picked up the laser pointer and the bell collar, but the item descriptions still didn't appear.

"Ok?"

Liu Zheng frowned, took the two items, and went into the pavilion.

"Boss, I have some questions."

Before he could speak, Si Xue interrupted him.

“I know what you’re going to ask. They’re just following you out; they don’t really identify with you.”

"Only after you gain their approval will they become real objects."

"As for now, they are still in a state of being half-object and half-living."

"But once they leave the Treasure Lake, their spirituality will gradually disappear, and eventually the entire item will become useless."

"Once they leave the metropolitan area, they will immediately lose their effectiveness."

she explained.

"I see. Thank you for clearing up my confusion, boss."

Liu Zheng nodded.

No wonder those two cats agreed so readily; they were waiting for him here.

I guess he'll turn back into his cat form after he decides he's not going to keep his promise, so I'll kill him and then go back to Booty Lake.

But here's the problem: even if Liu Zheng keeps his promise, the two of them will lose more and more of their spirituality, and they won't be able to stay carefree for long.

Would they really give up their lives for a brief moment of freedom? Surely he can't be expected to periodically bring them back to Treasure Lake to replenish their spiritual energy?

Hmm? It doesn't seem impossible.

If Liu Zheng considers them important, he will naturally try to maintain their spirituality in order to prevent them from becoming ineffective.

"Damn, talking cats are really smart."

He cursed inwardly.

"Boss, do you know what the effects of these two items are?"

Liu Zheng asked shamelessly.

Without any item descriptions, he could only ask Si Xue.

To be honest, even though the system may seem to have a very low profile, the item descriptions are practically cheat codes.

As for system space, that's just an external plugin.

"Laser pointers can be used to attack enemies, or they can be used to control enemies."

"The bell collar is a summoning item that can be used multiple times or once."

Si Xue said.

"Okay, thank you, boss."

Liu Zheng said sincerely.

Although there are no specific details, judging from this vague description alone, these two items must be of high quality.

It seems he really needs to go find the calico cat and the black cat.

"Then, boss, I'll take my leave now."

He bowed.

"You're just going to leave like this?"

Si Xue crossed her legs, revealing a large expanse of her snow-white skin.

Chapter 423 I told you to take off your shoes, but you want extra food?

In a flash, Liu Zheng glanced at it.

Okay, I've put on my shoes.

I glanced at it again.

"Damn, he's not wearing any."

Liu Zheng inwardly groaned.

Will I let him lick that place this time?

He's half-dead if you lick his feet, so if you lick that part of his body, he'll be dead!

Some people born in the metropolis might think it's a benefit, but no matter how great the benefit is, you still have to have the ability to enjoy it.

Anyway, Liu Zheng doesn't have that ability, so let whoever loves him have him.

"what are you thinking?"

Si Xue asked with a half-smile.

"I think it would be more appropriate to pair a wide robe with flat linen shoes."

He said seriously.

"I don't like hemp."

Si Xue shook her head.

"The silk one is also nice, it suits your style better, boss."

Liu Zheng immediately changed his tune.

"What? You're going to give me a pair?"

Si Xue glanced at him.

"One pair is not enough. Someone of the boss's distinguished status needs at least four pairs of regular shoes."

"Okay."

Si Xue lifted her foot.

"Uh, what's this?"

"Take off your shoes, or I'll give you an extra meal."

Si Xue said irritably.

"oh oh."

Liu Zheng smiled sheepishly, squatted down, and carefully took off her shoes.

The instep was pale and cold, with clearly visible blue veins, evoking pity in the eye.

Of course, that wasn't his focus.

Very good, this time no black water seeped out of Si Xue's pores.

"Four pairs of shoes, you said it yourself."

Si Xue put her feet down.

"Of course, it is my honor to buy you shoes."

Liu Zheng said respectfully.

"Alright, get lost."

Si Xue waved her hand.

"okay."

He skillfully curled himself into a ball and rolled all the way into the elevator.

Si Xue flicked her finger and imprinted the golden jade mark on Shao Yanming's forehead.

Then he poured the rest of the tea onto Shao Yanming's head, quickly freezing it.

"You're going too far, Si Xue."

Suddenly, the lake water surged into the sky, condensing into a transparent human figure that opened its mouth and spoke.

"I think you've gone too far, Lake God."

Si Xue said calmly.

"Just now, Liu Zheng was here, and you didn't come out to pay your respects, so I didn't hold it against you. Now that he's gone, what should you call me?"

She put her hand directly into the fire, but the flames, reaching thousands of degrees Celsius, couldn't even blacken her hand.

Si Xue grabbed a piece of firewood from the stove and tossed it up and down in her palm, as if she might throw it at any moment.

".boss."

After a moment of silence, the lake god spoke.

"Is this how you talk to your boss? You think you're above me?"

Si Xue frowned.
