Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

"You won't get it for free; you might even make a profit."

"What do you want to do again?"

Only after hearing those words did it raise its head.

"De Lego agreed to take me to the auction, but it can only be done through barter. So I want to stock up on some extraordinary items for future use."

Liu Zheng said.

"You're hoarding supernatural items for backup? You think that's something to be proud of? Do you think supernatural items are like those fish you fish out of the sewers?"

The ox and horse rolled their eyes.

"Others certainly don't have it, but someone as capable and wealthy as you must have some in stock."

He said with a grin.

"Is this the same thing? You're using them together."

"The cows and horses complained."

"It doesn't matter, as long as it's a positive term, it's definitely appropriate to use it on you, sir."

Liu Zheng said solemnly.

"Hmph, smooth talker. Two items at most, and you either give me something better, or you buy them at a higher price, or I'll tear your delivery box down to pay off the debt."

"The ox and horse said."

Compared to the legendary vest, the legendary delivery box certainly brings it greater benefits.

"no problem."

Liu Zheng readily agreed.

Given how stingy Niu Ma is, it's already quite good to get two items from him.

The ox and horse opened their blood-red mouths and spat out two things.

"Take it, take it, don't delay my rehabilitation."

It turned over and faced away from Liu Zheng, saying...

"okay."

Liu Zheng walked over and picked up the items on the ground: a flute and a horseshoe.

The flute appeared to be carved from the bone of some kind of creature, and it had some red stains on it, which were probably bloodstains.

The holes on the flute are also very irregular, which shows that the maker not only has poor skills, but also lacks the patience to polish it.

Name: The Shepherd Boy's Bone Flute (Disposable)

Type: Item

Quality: Excellent

"Effect: When used, it taunts nearby carnivorous creatures; the louder and more melodious the flute music, the better the effect."

"Note: Once upon a time, there was a shepherd boy who went up the mountain to herd sheep every day. One day, he was very bored, so he shouted to the farmer down the mountain, 'Wolf!' Then the wolf, who was hiding in the flock of sheep, tore off his sheepskin and cursed, 'You saw through me! This kid is terrifying and cannot be kept around for long.' Then he ate the shepherd boy, leaving only bones."

"Can it be taken out of the instance: Yes"

"Good heavens, so the shepherd boy's bone flute was made from the shepherd boy's bones, right?"

Liu Zheng's lips twitched slightly.

As expected, the Metropolitan Museum's product descriptions are always full of dark humor and hellish jokes.

After storing the shepherd boy's bone flute into his system space, he looked at the horseshoe.

Name: The Cursed Horseshoe

Type: Equipment

Quality: Excellent

"Effect: Strength attribute +100, but the player's Strength attribute cannot exceed 100 points, and this equipment cannot be removed normally."

Note: To have the present is to lose the future.

"Can it be taken out of the instance: Yes"

"Wow. Boss, have you ever used this horseshoe before?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Nonsense, of course not. When I found it, my strength was already higher than the bonus it could provide, so why would I need it?"

The cattle and horses returned.

Where did you find it?

he asked curiously.

Although non-humans roam the streets of Metropolis and gods are less than dogs, it's not to the point where you can just pick up supernatural items anywhere, is it?

Putting aside everything else, the sanitation department would at least not agree.

Even if Liu Zheng found the perfect quality item "The Rice Cooker of the Rice Cooking Immortal" in the trash can last time, there was still an old lady in a funeral shroud of unknown strength waiting next to her.

Oh right, I wonder if her burial shroud is related to the dragon robe and burial shroud that Killer is wearing. I can ask Killer next time I see him.

"Oh, I found it on someone who refused to sign for their food delivery."

The ox and horse replied casually.

".I knew it."

They even found it on the body, even though it was found on the corpse.

One was excellent, the other was superb, and the superb item was cursed. This haul wasn't ideal; it was better than nothing.

However, while the horseshoe had a lot of negative effects, it also had significant positive ones, and there might just be a buyer who needs it.

Liu Zheng also put the "cursed horseshoe" into the system space and then called Dr. Nile.

"Doctor, what's going on?"

he asked.

"I'm waiting for the scarab to poop, but it shouldn't be a big problem."

The Nile doctor made an optimistic estimate.

"That's good. I need to discuss something with you."

Liu Zheng recounted the events of the auction.

“I can help you, but not much. Our clan’s items cannot appear at auctions; the risk is too great.”

The Nile doctor neither refused nor fully agreed.

"It's alright, doctor. It's good that you're willing to help. Every little bit helps."

He nodded.

"Okay, then I'll prepare it, and you can come and pick it up when the time comes."

After hanging up the phone, Liu Zheng called the fisherman again.

"what's up?"

The fisherman asked.

"Have the amphibious divers left?"

he asked.

"They left a long time ago. The blond guy's friend said everything should be fine, so they left."

The fisherman sounded somewhat dissatisfied.

"That's good. If you do it once, you'll do it again. You can't rush things like repairing your father-daughter relationship. You have to be patient."

Liu Zheng advised.

"Of course I know, do you need to tell me? Tell me, what do you want me to do for you this time?"

The fisherman asked.

"Two things. I'm going to an auction tomorrow night, and I might need you to help me order some takeout."

"Yes, but it can't exceed one hour."

The fisherman readily agreed.

"That should be enough. The second thing is that the auction involves bartering; could you lend me some extraordinary items?"

he said again.

"No. Our clan focuses on training ourselves and exploring our bloodline abilities, and rarely uses external tools. The few items I have are my most treasured possessions, and I can't give them to you right now."

The fisherman stated this clearly.

As for when I can give it to you, that will be when we truly become a family.

"What about fish that resemble supernatural objects?"

"You think raising fish is like farming, where you just grow them into a vast expanse. After the last major surgery, more than half of the fish in the pond died. I can still think of ways to help you with ordinary fish, but I really can't do anything about extraordinary fish."

“In essence, these extraordinary fish are also part of the sewer's power, and the sewer wouldn't be happy if I gave you too much.”

Worried that Liu Zheng would think he was stingy, the fisherman even revealed some secrets.

However, Liu Zheng is also somewhat of a colleague, so it's not a big problem.

"Not many are needed, one or two are not too few."

He said quickly.

"At most two."

"That's what the fisherman said."

"Sure. By the way, Napoleon asked me to buy fish from you, and he even gave me a list."

Liu Zheng then casually mentioned buying fish.

Read it to me.

"Row."

He took out the list and read it to the fisherman one item at a time.

“I have all the varieties, but I don’t have enough of some varieties. I can make up the difference with varieties that are closely related.”

The fisherman said after listening.

"Okay. How much?"

Although the demand for white-feathered chickens is high, the fishermen can't even supply enough, so there's nothing they can do. They might as well cut off two lamb legs to make a fish and lamb stew, or cut off a few tentacles to make a seafood dipping sauce.

"Forget it this time."

The fisherman hung up the phone.

"What is this, a mediation fee?"

Liu Zheng held his phone, a strange expression on his face as he thought to himself.

Regardless of what the fisherman thought, he made a profit.

"Dingling bell~"

Before he could put his phone down, it rang again.

Liu Zheng checked the caller ID; it was Wang Manni.

"what happened?"

He answered the phone and asked.

"Delivery driver, the company is asking if you are ready."

Wang Manni said respectfully.
