Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

Liu Zheng quickly distanced himself from the situation.

"Why don't you just get a different bottle?"

"It said this bottle is free, but it won't give me anything else. There's nothing I can do. I can't beat it."

His name is Qu Dao.

"Bullshit, I think you did it on purpose."

"Cooking wine is still wine, and you didn't spit it out, which means it tastes alright. It's free, what more could you want, right?"

Liu Zheng shrugged.

"Hmph, you're paying for it anyway, it's free for me. Give me ten more dried fish."

The ox and horse reluctantly accepted his explanation.

"Boss, where did you get this newspaper from?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"I got it from the customer service department."

"Don't you have a bad relationship with Britain?"

He asked, puzzled.

"If you have a good relationship, you should take advantage of them; if you don't, you should take advantage of them even more. Besides, they throw away so many newspapers and magazines every day, what's wrong with me picking up a few?"

The ox and horse spoke with conviction.

"That makes sense. May I take a look?"

Liu Zheng said.

"Why should I? If you want to see it, go pick it up yourself from the customer service department."

The oxen and horses were unhappy.

"I just don't have the ability. Let me see, maybe I can find some opportunity to make a fortune?"

"Ha, as if you've discovered you have time to do this."

The ox and horse mocked.

A food delivery driver is busier than the department heads and directors of the city hall.

"I don't have time, do you, boss? When you make money, just give me 20%."

Liu Zheng said.

"Dream on, 20%? I'm already being generous with the consultation fee. Take it, go away, look elsewhere, don't disturb my drinking."

The cattle and horses were tempted.

"okay."

He rolled up the newspaper and went back to his small stool to look for the content that interested him.

Great, there's no report above about updates to the scratch-off lottery prize pool, so the surprise is still there.

Relieved, Liu Zheng began to carefully peruse the newspaper.

He quickly found a report that interested him.

"Today, the Deep Sea Empire lodged a protest with the City Hall regarding the abduction of Princess Kova and a large number of mermaid citizens. The City Hall stated that Metropolis and the Deep Sea Empire have always been friendly neighbors and respected each other."

The City Hall is deeply shocked and saddened by the abduction of mermaids. City Hall spokesperson Geng Bushang stated that the Public Security Department will collaborate with multiple departments to conduct joint enforcement actions to severely crack down on illegal activities such as the trafficking of mermaids and the smuggling of uninspected food.

"Good heavens, the Madoka Cult is in for a world of trouble."

Liu Zheng clicked his tongue in amazement.

"What do you mean by bad luck?"

The ox and horse asked casually.

"That Garcia from last time, they've really messed up."

He briefly recounted the contents of the newspaper.

"That's all your fault for letting them get away."

The ox and horse said irritably.

"There's nothing we can do about it, she gave us just too much."

Liu Zheng held up the Heart of the Ocean pendant on his chest and said.

Although the trigger conditions for this item are a bit demanding, once triggered, it's just as good as a perfect quality piece of equipment. It helped him win several life-or-death battles, so it's definitely worth it.

"No matter how much they give you, you still need to be alive to take it. If I hadn't spoken up for you, you would have been killed by the white-feathered chicken right then and there."

The oxen and horses scoffed.

"Yes, yes, yes, I will never forget your great kindness, sir."

He said it from the bottom of his heart.

"Hmph. But that old bastard Garcia is really going to be in big trouble. He deserves it. Who told him to kidnap me back then? Hahaha."

The cattle and horses let out wild laughter.

The joint enforcement by multiple departments, which also involves diplomatic incidents, would make even a small sect like the Round God Cult tremble with fear, let alone the bald monks of the Metaverse.

"By the way, how did you end up being sold to the Bloody Restaurant?"

Liu Zheng seized the opportunity to ask.

He is really curious.

"After escaping the farm, I ran into people from the Yuanshen Cult who were stealing things, and then I got caught red-handed and sold them to the restaurant."

"Well, it's kind of darkly humorous."

Liu Zheng didn't know what expression to make.

"There are plenty of these kinds of things. There aren't that many tragic heroes in the world. Most people are just clowns."

The ox and horse said nonchalantly.

"maybe."

He said it noncommittally.

Liu Zheng thought of the Lucky Joker card.

If the Ox and Horse really didn't care, they wouldn't have kept such a card by their side.

Ultimately, I was still a little unwilling to accept it.

"Fortunately, I didn't agree to Garcia joining them as some kind of holy son."

Liu Zheng said with relief.

"What are you afraid of? With your abilities, you can become a prison beauty even in jail. When you get out, you can lead a bunch of followers to create new glories and make your business bigger and stronger."

The cattle and horses mocked.

"Forget it, I'd be better off as a chrysanthemum. I'm not good at comprehension, let someone else go to Longchang to seek enlightenment."

He shook his head.

"If the Yuanshen Cult is wiped out, wouldn't it be much easier for you to start your smuggling business?"

Although the white-feathered chickens promised to prioritize the cattle and horse business, the other smugglers certainly didn't want another competitor.

The Yuan Shen sect, in particular, already harbored a grudge against cattle and horses, and thus they were even more eager to kill them.

"Damn it! Easy my ass! Now my startup plans have to be postponed again."

The cattle and horses were stunned for a moment, then let out a loud wail.

"What?"

Liu Zheng asked, puzzled.

"It's in the newspapers now, do you think the city hall will only target one small fry from the Yuanshen Cult? They'll definitely take care of them all at once."

"The ox and horse said."

"Look on the bright side. If the city hall wipes out all the smugglers, then the smuggling market will be freed up. Then you can not only sell your goods to restaurants, but other buyers will also have no choice but to buy from you."

He comforted.

"You're quick-witted, kid. But who knows how long this joint enforcement operation will take? If it takes a year or two, then it'll be too late."

The ox and horse calmed down a bit after hearing this.

"It won't be long."

Liu Zheng shook his head.

"why?"

The ox and the horse asked.

"because."

He was about to explain when he suddenly stopped and looked towards the door.

Chapter 455 The Hidden Function of the Honorary Owner Medal

Snapped!

The movable barrier on the door fell down, and the ghostly hand slowly crawled in.

"long time no see."

Liu Zheng waved his tentacle in greeting.

Of course, no sound was made.

Ghost Hand waved in response, then climbed towards the cattle and horses.

"Hey, didn't you finish the order?"

Niu Ma shouted at Liu Zheng with a look of utter confusion.

"I don't know."

Liu Zheng looked completely innocent.

However, when the ghostly hand crawled up to the cow and horse, it didn't put down the takeout order, but instead grabbed the bottle of cooking wine.

"Damn it, so you were trying to steal my wine? No way!"

The ox and horse bit into the cooking wine and swallowed the bottle whole.

Ghost Hand extended his middle finger at him in silent contempt, then grabbed a small dried fish and swallowed it into the mouth of his palm.

But cows and horses can't give the middle finger or curse, so they can only stare helplessly at Wen.

Liu Zheng suppressed a laugh and took out a few more dried fish, beckoning the tentacles to the ghost hand.

Seeing this, Ghost Hand decisively abandoned the dusty dried fish, came to him, and dropped the takeout order he was holding between his fingers.

Liu Zheng gave the dried fish to Ghost Hand and picked up the takeout order from the ground.

"Meal: One serving of double-pepper rice and braised pig brains"

Address: Room 1503, Building 7, Jiahe New Residence Community

Time limit: Half an hour

"Why do these dishes and this address look so familiar?"

He looked at the takeout order thoughtfully, then started rummaging through the legendary takeout box.

"Oh, I found it."

Liu Zheng pulled out a takeout order.

He didn't throw away any of his previous takeout orders; he planned to keep them as souvenirs.

"Meal: Garlic Rice and Pork Brain (one serving)"
