Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

Even delivery drivers can't just go out whenever they want, let alone kitchen staff. They need a legitimate reason to go out.

Going down the drain to catch fish is a common and effective excuse.

Of course, this benefit disappeared after relations with the fishermen deteriorated.

"Okay. I'll contact you again when I have the order."

Liu Zheng hung up the phone.

Getting fish down the drain is a perk for the kitchen staff, not the delivery department.

"Salmon."

The oxen and horses had somehow reappeared behind him.

"Boss, if you really have to appear and disappear like this, could you come in front of me next time? I feel really unsafe like this."

Liu Zheng squinted and said.

"Dream on. I feel even more insecure with you behind me."

The ox and horse rolled their eyes at him.

"I mean, is it possible that you could bring that cat to our delivery department?"

It looked at Liu Zheng with expectant eyes and asked.

"Then you have to answer one question for me first."

"what is the problem?"

"Can you defeat Napoleon?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Hmph, that's not bragging. If I risk my life, that chicken might not be able to beat me."

The oxen and horses raised their heads and walked.

"You're really going to great lengths to find a new employee, boss. But the thing is, aren't you about to run away?"

He pointed out the problem.

"Do you think I confessed for myself?"

The oxen and horses looked at him as if he were an idiot.

"With your performance and my recommendation, it's a sure thing that you'll become the acting department head after I leave."

"The restaurant will definitely need to hire one or two more people. If you want to manage the newcomers, you'll have to rely on your own abilities."

"But if that cat comes, given your relationship, it will become part of your power. Then, one of you will handle external affairs while the other handles internal affairs, and neither of you will be able to turn the tide."

"Do you understand?"

Niu and Ma explained their thoughts in detail.

"Impressive, impressive! I never expected you to have such a plan, boss."

Liu Zheng said admiringly.

"Hmph, don't think you're so great just because you're a succubus. No matter how well you can get along with everyone, you've never been a leader before. You still have a lot to learn."

"I'm so proud of myself," Niu Ma said smugly.

"Yes, yes, yes, the master's strategy is profound and the plan is ingenious. I am in awe and am amazed."

“However, we have a good relationship with Napoleon, so is it inappropriate to poach his staff? Besides, salmon itself may not be willing to come to the takeout department. I think we should think about this matter more carefully.”

After offering a string of flattery, Liu Zheng said tactfully.

The ox and horse's plan was not wrong, but the key question is where its foresight came from.

When the cattle and horses leave and he runs away, won't the calico cat be left in a bind?

Putting aside whether it has the ability to wield absolute power, it also lacks the desire to do so.

It's one thing to cheat others, but cheating cats is something that deserves to be struck by lightning, no way!

"Yeah, you're right. Anyway, it's your own business, you decide what to do."

The ox and horse nodded.

"okay."

Liu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief after his boss's sudden idea was dispelled.

Due to information asymmetry, both parties often fail to understand each other's behavior.

If done well, it's about profiting from information asymmetry; if done poorly, it's good intentions gone wrong.

"Oh right, I forgot to inform the tentacle monster."

Liu Zheng made a phone call to the tentacle monster.

"Have you contacted the Fool Master yet?"

"I can't wait to ask," the tentacle monster asked impatiently.

"We got in touch. They didn't agree to take you on as an apprentice, but they're willing to share their writing experience with you."

He said.

"Oh? Okay, that works too."

The tentacle monster was somewhat disappointed, but it accepted reality.

"Also, it invited me to its house for afternoon tea and asked me to bring you along."

Liu Zheng said.

"Oh. Oh? My goodness!"

The tentacle monster screamed after it realized what was happening.

When are you going?

After finally calming down, it asked.

"Let's wait a while."

He glanced at the time and said.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!!!"

Upon hearing this, the tentacle monster let out a sharp, explosive sound.

"Why so fast? What do we do, what do we do?"

"Why don't you calm down first?"

Liu Zheng tentatively said.

"Calm down? How am I supposed to calm down?! Your goddess invites you to her house for tea, how can you stay calm?"

The tentacle monster retorted.

"Uh, aren't you male?"

"What does it matter? Meeting an idol is much more exciting than meeting a goddess. If Boss Fool is willing, I don't mind being on the bottom."

The tentacle monster said without hesitation.

"Okay, then."

Liu Zheng was once again convinced that there was an insurmountable gap between his values ​​and those of these metropolitan residents.

Chapter 488 Could the Fool be a shill for the Peacock?

After finishing his phone call with the tentacle monster, Liu Zheng played Sudoku to pass the time.

"Clang clang clang!"

Suddenly, a knocking sound came from inside the locker.

"What's the noise?"

He looked up blankly.

"What's that noise? It's the sound of dinner being served. Did you ruin your brain playing Sudoku?"

"The cows and horses complained."

"Sigh, there's nothing I can do. It's been so long since I've had staff meals that I've completely forgotten about this."

Liu Zheng sighed.

"It's okay, I ate it all for you, nothing was wasted."

The ox and horse comforted him.

"Then I really thank you, boss."

He pursed his lips.

"You're welcome. If you really want to thank me, just give me a few hundred thousand."

Niu Ma said in a very serious tone.

"Then I'll just pretend to thank you."

Liu Zheng consciously opened his cabinet and took out the staff meal.

After glancing at the product description, he handed the staff meal directly to Niu Ma.

"Then please help me solve this problem this time, big shot."

"What? You're eating and drinking well outside, and you can't even look down on the staff meals?"

The ox and horse said in a sarcastic tone.

"No, that's not it. We're going to visit someone's house later, and it would be very impolite not to eat anything."

Liu Zheng said.

"Your appetite is almost as big as mine, are you worried that you'll be full from a staff meal?"

As Niu Ma spoke, he opened the lunchbox.

"Oh, so this is what it is. No wonder you didn't dare to eat it."

After seeing what was on the plate, Niu Ma suddenly realized.

Name: Ultra-compressed Biscuits (Disposable)

Type: Item

Quality: Excellent

Effect 1: Restores a moderate amount of physical strength.

"Effect 2: Players' satiety is increased to the maximum, lasting for three hours."

"Note: Look at this pancake, it's big and long. Just like the pancake the shopkeeper drew for you, it's sweet and fragrant."

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

"You can keep it yourself, even a dog wouldn't eat this stuff."

It was thrown directly back to Liu Zheng.

How can someone who has eaten this drink alcohol and eat snacks?

"alright."

Liu Zheng shrugged and put the ultra-compressed biscuits into his system space.

It's still an item, after all. It won't break if it's stored in the system space. Who knows, it might come in handy someday.

As if to match the super-compressed biscuits, today's drink is just a glass of plain water, even in a paper cup.

"Boss, what's the standard for this staff meal?"

He shook the paper cup in his hand and said.

"It's alright, there have been times when it was worse than this."
