Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

Page 690

The pond owner replied.

"Activation spell?"

"When will you shed your shell and attain human form? Once you cultivate yourself into a human, you will naturally be able to shed your shell."

"That's what the pond owner said."

"Are you stuck in a vicious cycle here?"

To cultivate oneself into a human, one must shed one's physical form; but to shed one's physical form, one must cultivate oneself into a human. This statement is essentially meaningless.

No wonder the turtle spirit, after cultivating for over a thousand years, is still asking questions; with this kind of approach, even ten thousand years of cultivation would be in vain.

"Being alive is better than being dead. Are you going to wear it or not? If not, I'll take the salmon back with me."

The pond owner threatened.

"I'll wear it, okay?"

Liu Zheng stuffed the tortoise shell into his pocket.

If this turtle spirit's state still exists after the dungeon is cleared, it's equivalent to gaining ten thousand years of lifespan, which is a bonus.

Wait, could this be the way Hell Game is fulfilling his wish?

"System, you tricked me!"

Liu cursed inwardly.

The system did not respond at all; it's unclear whether it acquiesced or simply ignored him.

"What should we do with this bucket of fish?"

He looked at the fish bucket in the tentacles, somewhat conflicted.

Since we can't store it in the system space, we can't exactly ask the other side to be careful not to knock over the fish bucket when we start fighting, can we?

But if we let the plane trees keep it, we'll have to pay a storage fee.

"There is."

Suddenly, Liu Zheng had a flash of inspiration and walked into the delivery lane.

"Could you please keep these fish safe for me?"

He pressed his tentacles against the wall and asked.

Soon, a sensation like a heartbeat came from the tip of the tentacle.

He felt that this should be considered agreement.

"Thank you."

Liu Zheng thanked him, then put the fish bucket on the ground and walked out of the passage.

"Colonel, are the hunting dogs ready?"

He then called the driver.

"It's all settled now. So, are you off to start another war somewhere?"

The driver asked with great interest.

"Don't make me sound like a warmonger. I'm going to deliver takeout to Imperial View Villa."

"Imperial View Villa? Didn't you get a promise from the city hall?"

The driver immediately realized what was happening.

"It wasn't Peacock who ordered it. But the coincidences are too great and I'm a little worried, so I'm asking you to come out of retirement and protect us."

Liu Zheng inadvertently offered another compliment.

"Hahaha, I can't beat Peacock. But I have more than enough guts to take her down. In fact, I should thank you for giving me this opportunity."

The driver laughed loudly.

If he can embarrass the peacock, Si Xue will definitely reward him handsomely.

Although the driver is already deeply tied to the restaurant, Si Xue, as the restaurant owner, can still provide him with a lot of convenience.

After hanging up the phone, the "hunting dogs" soon roared over from afar.

"Huh, where did the cannon barrel go?"

Liu Zheng looked at the front of the tank and asked.

There used to be a small water pipe there, but now all that's left is a hole.

"How not?"

As they were talking, the driver, who had transformed into a cylinder, crawled out of the hole.

Isn't this it?

he said with a smile.

"Good heavens, you're not planning to shoot yourself out, are you?"

Liu Zheng exclaimed in horror.

"Of course. How can ordinary cannonballs compare to my human cannon? Let alone a peacock, even a sewer would be destroyed if I hit it."

The driver said confidently.

"Then didn't you also turn to ashes?"

"In my current state, dying isn't an easy thing. Just get me a new set of clothes when the time comes."

"If the peacock can really kill me completely, perhaps it won't be a bad thing."

He said calmly.

"Then I think it would be better to kill the peacock."

Liu Zheng shrugged.

"Haha, I can't do that, unless you get that guy to do some work too."

The driver pointed to the ground.

"Let's wait for an opportunity."

To be honest, killing the peacock might not be a good thing.

The reason he can now be the virtual pet of many big shots in the metropolis is because he is useful and poses little threat.

If he actually succeeds in killing the peacock, his relationship with the bigwigs will enter an awkward state.

Many people dare to feed a stray dog, but very few dare to feed a stray wolf.

Of course, if such an opportunity really came up, Liu Zheng probably wouldn't give it up.

At worst, they'll just settle the dungeon and run away. Who cares about side quests if there's a chance to kill the hidden boss?

"Where to go first?"

A man and a cat boarded the tank, the driver asked.

"Let's go straight to the Imperial View Villa."

He thought for a moment and said.

Although it was suspected that the peacock had set a trap, it was only a suspicion.

If the Fool sincerely invites him to afternoon tea, then it would be impolite for him to arrive late.

"it is good."

The driver nodded and started the tank.

It must be said that the metropolis's urban development is quite impressive.

At least in the city, there are wide roads leading in all directions, and the ground is flat and smooth, without any defects or cracks.

With the speed of a "hound" and the driver's skill, they arrived at their destination in just ten minutes.

As one of the most prestigious luxury residences in the metropolis, the Imperial View Villa naturally boasts a unique location.

Although it is located in the city center and very close to the city hall, it is situated on an artificial island in a huge artificial lake, connected to the mainland by only one bridge.

Of course, considering the average financial strength of the residents of Imperial View Villa, this architectural layout is mainly symbolic.

"Here here."

The tentacle monster that had been waiting at the bridgehead frantically beckoned to them with its tentacles.

The entry and exit procedures for such top-tier luxury residences are naturally very strict.

They can't even freely cross the bridge, let alone enter the villa area.

Dozens of security guards dressed in tactical uniforms and carrying various weapons lined up on both sides of the bridgehead, watching the rapidly approaching tanks with menacing eyes. Their weapons were already loaded.

Just by looking at their attire and their spirit, they're not even in the same league as those shabby guys from the apartment, Green Garden, and West River Center.

"There's something I need to make clear to you, so you don't end up being a wronged ghost."

Liu Zheng got off the tank and briefly told the tentacle monster about the peacock.

Why didn't you say this sooner?

The tentacle monster was both surprised and angry.

"I just found out too."

He innocently spread his tentacles.

"Aren't you bullying an honest person?"

This explanation clearly did not quell the tentacle monster's anger.

"I admit I'm in the wrong. Here's what we'll do: you can ask for compensation, and as long as it's within my capabilities, I'll do my best to meet your needs."

Liu Zheng looked at its tentacles and said.

The tentacle monster originally had six tentacles, but now only three remain, one of which has grown onto its forehead. The reason for this is unknown.

"What good is compensation? Can you help me grow my tentacles back?"

"It's a tentacle monster," the tentacle monster said coldly.

"I know a doctor who is very skilled. You can give him a try."

Liu Zheng said.

At worst, we can cut off one of its tentacles and attach it to the tentacle monster, and then transplant the one on its forehead to its shoulder.

Although there are still two missing, at least it's symmetrical now.

"hehe."

The tentacle monster chuckled and then fell silent, lowering its head to think.

Liu Zheng waited patiently.

"I still want to see the Fool."

A moment later, the tentacle monster spoke resolutely.

"But you also have to make up for the damage I suffered afterwards."
