Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

Chili Head explained.

"Wow, this is truly a metropolis. But with so many people here, one set of mahjong tiles isn't enough. We can't just take turns, can we?"

Not counting the plane trees, there are eleven people here.

"We brought them too."

Onion, ginger, and garlic each took out a bag of mahjong tiles.

"So this is the gang culture of your Extreme Flavor Group?"

Liu Zheng squinted and said.

"Of course, playing mahjong can not only foster the relationship between team members, but also exercise their fingers and brains. This is a tradition that has been continued since the founding of our Jiwei Group."

Guo Kou Tangzi said proudly.

As she spoke, she also took out a bag of mahjong tiles from her clothes.

"Liu Zheng, you're not allowed to look!"

The vampire girl covered Liu Zheng's eyes with her small hands.

"It's not like I can see it myself; it's wrapped in bandages inside."

Liu Zheng rolled his eyes.

Since we've already brought it out, let's fight.

The four-person seasoning group sat at one table, Liu Zheng, Nightingale, Sea Girl, and Pot Mouth Soup Zi sat at another table, and the remaining Vampire Girl, Niu Daji, and Nile River Doctor played mahjong in three-person mode.

"Hey, why are you all targeting me?"

After fighting for a while, Liu Zheng realized something was wrong.

"What else can we do? Bang! Thirty thousand."

Guo Kou Tangzi said, and then played a card.

"Kong! Self-draw, four Kongs, Yakuman."

"The nightingale said with a smile."

"Gan!"

He reluctantly took out a large sum of money, and then saw Nightingale return the money to Guokou Tangzi and the sea maid.

"Hey, isn't this a bit too blatant?"

Liu Zheng shouted.

"Do you have any opinion?"

The three of them looked at him together. The sea woman conjured a harpoon, the nightingale extended a sniper rifle, and Guokou Tangzi raised a soup pot.

"No, you guys played really well. Keep going."

Liu Zheng gave the money with tears in his eyes.

After circling around twice, the plane trees finally started to stir again.

"Hiccup~"

Its face grew back, then it burped and exhaled a pale green breath.

"careful!"

The Nile doctor was the first to react and rushed to Liu Zheng's side.

He took a deep breath, inhaling the pale green odor.

Soon, his body underwent a strange change.

Various kinds of flowers, moss, tender leaves, and even root plants grew out of the Nile doctor's body, turning him into a human-shaped bonsai.

"Doctor, are you alright?"

Liu Zheng immediately asked.

The Nile doctor didn't speak, he just waved his hand.

The next second, the golden crown of the Winged Dragon on his head burst into flames.

Flames spread from top to bottom, inside and out, engulfing his entire body.

A few minutes later, the flames gradually died down.

The Nile doctor jumped around a few times, shaking off the ashes covering his body.

"Bah bah bah!"

He opened his mouth and spat out a few charred plant seeds.

"what happened?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Nature's divine power overflowed."

"That's what the Nile doctor replied."

"Luckily it was me, otherwise you would have been in trouble if you had been sprayed."

He said.

"What?"

"Because the power of nature is just a catalyst, the plants still grow using your own flesh and blood. With your physique, you could probably grow a whole grassland."

"That's what the Nile doctor said."

"Then forget it, I don't keep a wild horse at home."

Liu Zheng refused.

"Ah~ so good~"

The plane trees opened their eyes, stretched out their branches and leaves, and stretched lazily.

"You've had your fun, haven't you? A whole bunch of us fought to the death for you, and we almost got killed by your spit just now."

He shrugged.

"What sprayed to death?"

The plane tree asked in confusion.

"Here."

Liu Zheng pointed to the Nile River Doctor and the pile of ash at his feet.

"Tch, I didn't ask you guys for help."

The plane tree glanced at it and said stubbornly.

“You said it, I’ll have those black-armored men come over right now, uproot you, squeeze you into juice, and offer it as a sacrifice to their gods.”

He said.

“Let them come, I’ll hang them all on tree branches for them.”

The plane trees remain completely undaunted.

It was now filled with the power of nature and felt incredibly strong.

“Alright, the fire mage is short of wood to roast potatoes lately. I’ll have him come over and see if you can hang him on a tree.”

Liu Zheng played the "kill sauce" card.

"Even if it's a fire mage, I'll scoff!"

The plane tree kept silent.

"Let's see if you dare to be arrogant again."

he said proudly.

What's going on with these flies?

The topic shifted when the French plane trees were mentioned.

“I used my connections at the sanitation department to get you insurance. Otherwise, you would have been chopped into firewood by now.”

Liu Zheng said irritably.

"And what about those shifty-eyed bastards?"

The plane tree pointed at the crowd and said.

"What do you mean 'shifty-eyed'? Even the ugliest among them is better looking than you. These are all friends I invited to help out; without them, you wouldn't have survived until the sanitation department came."

He said.

"Hey kid, who are you calling the ugliest?"

The Nile doctor glared at him, and Nightingale and the others also stared at him menacingly.

"Of course it's Niu Daji, who else could it be?"

Liu Zheng looked completely bewildered.

"Boss, what you're saying is a bit harsh on Niu."

Niu Daji felt wronged.

"Ok?"

He brandished the boning knife.

“But you’re right. My mom said I’ve been ugly since I was little, and I’m known as the ugly boy in the surrounding area.”

Niu Daji immediately changed his tune.

"very good."

Liu Zheng put away his sword with satisfaction.

If I can't deal with them, I can at least deal with you. If you're a subordinate, you have to be prepared to take the blame for your boss.

"Alright, everyone move aside, I'm about to transform."

"It's a plane tree," said the French plane tree.

"Didn't you say that if someone shares the burden, we don't need to evolve?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"It's just a transformation, not an evolution. Hurry up, I can't hold it in any longer."

The plane trees urged on.

"I think you're not about to transform, you're about to lose control of your bladder."

"Everyone move aside, don't get splashed."

He directed everyone to move away from the area where the plane trees were located.

"Is it enough?"

Liu Zheng asked from afar.

"enough."

As soon as the words "French plane tree" were spoken, countless roots rose from the ground, enveloping the entire tree trunk and forming the shape of a flower bud.

Then, a pale green mist sprayed out from the top of the flower bud and drifted down.

The plane trees gradually shrank under the irrigation of the water mist, eventually becoming about three or four meters tall.

As the flower buds unfold, the shrunken tree roots burrow back underground, revealing the transformed tree body.

Compared to before its transformation, the trunk of the London plane tree has gained even more natural beauty.

Green vines spiraled around the trunk, oval leaves were lush and green, and even the bones hanging on its branches were covered with moss.

Well, it also adds a lot to the sense of suspense.

"You've eaten your fill, so why are you shrinking?"
