Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

"I asked, and so far no problems have been found. However, the effect is not as powerful as they claimed, especially for extraordinary races, the effect is worse. The more extraordinary the race, the worse the effect."

"Silver Wolf said."

"That's good, thank you brother-in-law."

"Small things."

Silver Wolf hung up the phone.

"Manager, it seems you didn't finish your sentence."

Liu Zheng put away his phone and looked at the store manager with a half-smile.

Silver Wolf's voice was so loud that the shop manager next to him naturally heard it too.

"You didn't ask."

The store manager said without changing his expression.

"What do you say now?"

"As you've heard, there's nothing wrong with our product. There might be some misrepresentation in the claims about its efficacy, but that doesn't affect the value of the Angel Fruit."

"That's what the store manager said."

"Well said, shall I say that when I go out?"

He raised his eyebrows.

"Of course, this is because we didn't do a good job, and we are willing to make some compensation to you."

The store manager immediately changed his tune.

"A membership card, that's not too much to ask, is it?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Our membership card offers significant discounts, so the entry requirements are also quite high."

The store manager was in a bit of a dilemma.

How long is the shelf life of the Angel Fruit?

he asked.

"It's very long. As long as it's kept in a cool, dry place, it can last for two or three years without any problems. However, if it comes into contact with seawater, it will melt immediately."

"That's what the store manager said."

"Then give us another hundred."

Liu Zheng said.

"Are you sure? One Angel Fruit costs five hundred dollars."

The store manager confirmed.

"Don't we have a membership card?"

"These high-end new fruits are not eligible for member discounts, but members have priority purchase and over-purchase rights."

"That's what the store manager said."

"Then let's buy it."

Liu Zheng nodded.

It's only 50,000 yuan, but the horns that cattle and horses lost for him cost much more.

"Okay. I'll have someone wrap it up for you right away?"

"I can't help it," the store manager probed.

"Bag."

With a wave of his massive tentacle, he exuded boundless pride.

"Yes. You there, go and pack a hundred Angel Fruits for this distinguished guest, using the best packaging. If you dare to damage even one, I'll blow your heads off."

The store manager shouted loudly.

"Yes!"

The shop assistant he pointed to responded loudly.

Such a large order is beneficial to all the store employees; at the very least, their performance bonuses for this month are guaranteed.

"Is there anything else you'd like to order?"

The store manager asked respectfully.

"No, it should be about the same."

Liu Zheng shook his head.

Buying so much at once is enough to feed even cows and horses for a while.

"Okay, please sit down and wait a moment."

The store manager kindly brought him a chair and a glass of juice.

"This is our store's new blended fresh-squeezed juice. Would you please try it for us?"

"That's what the store manager said."

"Okay."

Liu Zheng took the juice and took a sip. Several layers of sourness and sweetness exploded in his mouth at the same time.

The sourness comes first, followed by the sweetness. Whenever he frowns because of the sourness, a hint of sweetness will make him relax.

"Hmm, not bad. But the flavor is too complicated."

Liu Zheng commented.

Drinks aren't a staple food; he prefers something lighter and refreshing.

"Okay, I will pass your feedback on to the R&D department."

The store manager said solemnly.

The two chatted for a while about fruit before the shop assistant, who had been called to prepare the goods, came over.

"Manager, all the goods are ready."

"The clerk called out."

"I understand. What do you think?"

The store manager responded and looked at Liu Zheng.

"Bill, please."

He got up and walked towards the cashier, with the store manager quickly following behind.

"Sir, how would you like to pay?"

"I asked the cashier."

"cash."

"Okay, that's 50,000 yuan in total."

"That's what the cashier said."

"Ok?"

Liu Zheng looked at the store manager.

"This is just a personal thought of mine, and I hope you won't find it offensive."

The store manager said with a smile.

"Then I'll accept it."

A hint of appreciation appeared in his eyes.

This store manager is agile, eloquent, and a talented food delivery person.

Liu Zheng took out stacks of cash and placed them on the counter, making the shop assistants' mouths dry.

"Is it enough?"

He pushed the stack of banknotes forward.

"Enough is enough."

The cashier counted the items and said repeatedly.

Actually, it was quite easy to count. Liu Zheng gave out large denomination bills of one hundred each, instead of the various small denominations he usually used to throw money around.

"Here is your membership card and instruction manual."

The store manager bowed respectfully and then handed over a black metal card and a small booklet about the size of a palm.

The metal card features a gold-plated image of a fiery pineapple, with a string of numbers below the image.

Can the membership card be used by other people?

he asked.

"Yes, that's possible. But a membership card can only be used by a maximum of three people, otherwise it will be forcibly cancelled."

"That's what the store manager said."

"it is good."

Liu Zheng casually put the membership card and instruction manual into his pocket.

Anyway, we'll be giving them to the cows and horses soon, so there's no need to read the instructions.

Do you need us to deliver to your door?

"I asked the store manager."

Can you deliver anywhere?

"As long as it's within the city, it's generally possible. Of course, we definitely can't deliver to places like the Bloody Restaurant."

The store manager glanced at his uniform and said.

"What about the residential complex across the street?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Of course, that's possible. We have a cooperative relationship with the property management of Workers' New Town."

The store manager said cryptically.

"Can you take me in?"

"This"

The store manager hesitated.

He knew that Liu Zheng was a deliveryman at the Bloodstained Restaurant, so he naturally knew what his purpose was.

"A hundred Angel Fruits don't seem like enough. I might have to come back and buy more in a few days. Ugh, what a hassle."

Liu Zheng sighed.

"No trouble at all. For a big customer like you, we can not only deliver to your door, but also accept orders by phone."

The store manager quickly said.

"Can you deliver it this time?"

"Of course, customer first is our service principle."

The store manager said earnestly.

"major."

He gave a thumbs up.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing. Come out!"

The store manager shouted sternly.
