Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

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

Time limit: within one hour.

"So it was that miniature person."

The garlic was replaced with two kinds of peppers, and the cooking time was changed from one hour to half an hour, but everything else remained the same.

"I can't be that unlucky to have been forced to have my goods delivered twice in such a short time, can I?"

Liu Zheng stared at the two takeout orders, lost in thought.

Although I haven't seen the population statistics for the metropolitan area, it must be in the hundreds of millions.

Even if we only consider the population of the urban area, it would still be in the tens of millions.

The probability of a miniature person being forcibly delivered twice within a week is even lower than the probability of winning the top prize in a single scratch-off lottery ticket; it's practically impossible.

If we exclude the possibility that he used an item that would bring him "extreme bad luck," then the only other possibility is that he chose it intentionally.

"No matter how you look at it, they're after me. Looking to walk the dog again this late at night?"

Liu Zheng looked puzzled.

"What, is there a way to make money on this list? You've been looking at it for so long?"

"The cows and horses complained."

"There's no way to get rich, but there's a possibility of a way to hold a funeral."

He shook his head.

"Really? I'll go buy you insurance right now and name me as the beneficiary."

The oxen and horses were overjoyed upon hearing this.

"Dude, can't you list a beneficiary if they aren't immediate family members?"

Liu Zheng remained silent.

"Then just acknowledge me as your father."

"That's what Niu Ma said cleverly."

"Putting aside whether I'm willing or not, are you sure you want to give me this precious opportunity to register my household registration?"

He squinted and said.

"That makes sense. Then go die yourself. Remember to call me for the feast."

After thinking for a moment, Niu Ma said.

"Never mind, you can just keep eating the dried fish."

Liu Zheng shook his head and put both takeout orders into the Legendary takeout box.

It's impossible to expect oxen or horses to deliver food, and you probably won't get any useful advice anyway, so let's save our breath.

He'll meet force with force and water with earth. He's already overcome so many big bosses, he can't possibly fail on a small boss he's already defeated once, can he?

"Shouldn't it be possible?"

Liu Zheng withdrew his foot.

"Hey bro, can I borrow that commemorative medal for a bit?"

He said to the cattle and horses.

"what?"

The ox and horse asked warily.

"Just treat it as insurance; if it's useless, I'll return it to you."

Liu Zheng said.

"What if we actually use it?"

"Then I'll compensate you. Don't worry, my compensation will definitely satisfy you."

He said.

"What compensation?"

The ox and the horse asked.

"I can't say right now. You can run away, but you can't hide. Do you think I'm lying to you?"

Liu Zheng said.

"Hmph, you didn't dare to lie to me before, but that's hard to say now. If you don't want to pay me back after using it, you can just hide in the sewer. Do you think I'm going to go down there and collect the debt?"

The cow and horse muttered a few words, but still spat out the commemorative medal.

"Thank you, boss."

He put the commemorative medal in his pocket and left the lounge after Ghost Hand left.

Out of curiosity, he opened the lunchbox and took a look.

Inside were two thick, green and red chili peppers. The base of the peppers had been cut off, and purplish-red pig brains could be seen in the gaps between them.

"Goodness, so this is what they mean by 'double peppers'? To be honest, it's a bit of a perfunctory response."

Liu Zheng complained.

Moreover, this method should clearly be called "stuffed pig brains," as expected of a Western chef who is unprofessional when it comes to Chinese cuisine.

Place the food into the Legendary delivery box, and the green light immediately illuminates.

"Very good, the food is fine."

He shouldered his legendary delivery box and walked into the delivery lane.

Even though it had only been a few days since he had properly delivered food, he felt as if he had been in another world.

Liu Zheng didn't know whether it was because he had too many things to do, or because the metropolis's sense of time was inherently flawed.

He placed his tentacles on the soft, thick wall, and felt a slight indentation at the tips of his tentacles.

"Is there anything you'd like to drink? I'll bring it to you when I get back."

Liu Zheng suddenly asked a question.

There was no response from the food delivery platform, but he continued talking regardless.

"Then I'll just bring you whatever's available. Chocolate milk should be fine, right?"

There was still no response from the food delivery platform, but Liu Zheng took it as a tacit agreement.

Since even calico cats can drink it, it should be fine for delivery drivers to drink it too.

Since the driver said it would take too long to get a ride, he didn't call another car and instead started running as fast as he could.

With his current stamina, half an hour should be more than enough.

Of course, Liu Zheng did not let his guard down. He held a butcher knife in one hand and a delivery slip in the other, preparing for both a fight and a flight.

Perhaps sensing the menacing aura emanating from him, they traveled without incident.

"stop!"

As Liu Zhenggang was about to enter the Jiahe New Residence community, he was stopped by a security guard with triangular eyes.

"You don't recognize me?"

He pointed to himself and asked.

"Who are you? Why should I know you?"

The security guard with triangular eyes looked at him sideways.

"Me? I was the one who participated in the 10th anniversary celebration last time and even won the championship in the event. You were the one who introduced me to it."

Liu Zheng tried to get him to recall.

"You're talking about my brother, I've never seen you before."

"That's what the triangular-eyed security guard said."

"You and your brother really do look alike."

Liu Zheng said sincerely.

From their appearance and physique to their eyes and hairstyle, they are exactly the same.

"Nonsense, I'm his biological child, how could I be any different?"

The triangular-eyed security guard rolled his eyes.

"Oh, I see. Hmm?"

He realized what was happening, and his brows furrowed.

"Huh? That's how it is in our clan. If a woman is pregnant with twins, the older one will eat the younger one."

"If the parents want it, they can have a C-section. If they don't want it, the older child can digest the younger one and enhance the child's talents."

"That's what the triangular-eyed security guard said."

"Wouldn't everyone choose the latter then?"

"That's not entirely true. Twins are different bodies but have the same mind. Whatever one learns, the other can also learn it, which is like achieving twice the result with half the effort."

The triangular-eyed security guard shook his head.

"That you"

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

"The premise is that at least one of them has to be the King of Rolls. My brother and I are the kind of people who just loaf around and do nothing, so our parents have always regretted not letting my brother eat me back then."

The triangular-eyed security guard knew what he wanted to say.

"Well, being a security guard isn't so bad. You two can look out for each other."

He comforted.

"I think so too. Why work so hard? As long as you have cigarettes to eat and alcohol to drink, that's enough. Don't you think so?"

"That's what the triangular-eyed security guard said."

"I think it makes sense."

Liu Zheng agreed.

"You have good taste. But I still can't let you in. However, my brother will be here to relieve you in two hours, so you can come back then."

The security guard with the triangular eyes became much nicer.

"Then it's too late. Oh, right, I have this."

He took out the honorary homeowner medal from Jiahe New Residence.

"Oh, an honorary homeowner. You could have just brought it out earlier, instead of making me say all that."

The security guard with the triangular eyes rolled his eyes again.

"I've been so busy lately, my memory's not so good. You've worked the night shift hard, here, take this as a tip, use it to buy some good cigarettes and alcohol."

Liu Zheng took out a stack of banknotes and handed them to him.

"Wow! You're really generous, that's more than my and my brother's combined monthly salary. I've already let you in, why are you pulling this stunt?"

Despite saying that, the triangular-eyed security guard obediently took the bag and naturally stuffed it into his coat.

"It's never a bad thing to be polite. Consider this a make-up gift since your brother didn't accept it last time."

he laughed.

"Then I'll thank you on behalf of my brother. So, what do you need me to do? Let me make it clear first, showing you the way or asking you for help is fine, but I can't do anything like murder or arson."

"It's not that I'm unwilling, it's just that I don't have the ability, and I'm afraid it will delay your business, you know?"

The triangular-eyed security guard said in a nonchalant manner.

"That won't do. By the way, may I ask your names?"

"My name is Sheng Lao Er, and my brother's name is Sheng Lao Da."
