Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

"That's what the fisherman said."

"How to say?"

"This fishing rod was already a semi-finished product, and it has been damaged. To repair it, we need to use other forces to reshape it. But once it's reshaped, its effectiveness will definitely be affected by the forces applied later."

The fisherman replied.

"Is it possible to selectively retain the existing effects?"

Which effect do you want to keep?

The fisherman asked.

"A single fishing rod to capture the universe."

"I can only say I'll try my best."

The fisherman didn't dare to make any guarantees.

"However, I can temporarily repair it so that the fishing rod won't be damaged after you use the Qiankun Fishing once. But this item will also be temporarily unusable."

"That's not bad."

He said with delight.

Dragon's Might and Fishing for Dragon are icing on the cake, but Fishing for Heaven and Earth is the strategic effect.

"Well, your mirror is done too, I'll give it to you later. Just wait."

After the fisherman finished speaking, he walked into the downstream river.

After waiting for about ten minutes, he came out of the river again, holding a fishing rod in one hand and a three-dimensional mirror in the other.

"Take it."

Liu Zheng took the fishing rod and mirror, and the item descriptions popped up again.

Name: Temporarily reinforced fishing rod

Type: Equipment

Quality: Perfect

Effect 1: Players gain the 'Dragon's Might' status.

"Effect 2: When players fight dragons, all attributes are increased by 20 and damage is increased by 20%."

Effect 3: Players gain the skill 'Qiankun Yijiao', which temporarily renders items unusable after use.

Note: We were born from the same egg, why are we in such a hurry to fish together?

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

Name: Three-Piercing Mirror (Disposable)

Type: Item

Quality: Excellent

"Effect: Upon use, summons the dark side of Killer. The player can give it a command, and upon completion of the command, Killer's dark side has a high probability of attacking the player. Duration: one minute."

"Note: How many times have I told you, the Three-Fold Mirror cannot be used to have children with yourselves, you big idiots!"

"Can it be taken out of the instance: No"

"Good heavens, it can even attack me."

After seeing the effect of the Three-Faced Mirror, his eye twitched.

Fortunately, he chose the butcher instead of the fisherman.

If it's a sunny and cheerful guy like Kill Sauce, the probability is already quite high. If it were Fisherman, he'd probably kill him without a doubt.

Although the results were full of flaws, Liu Zheng was still quite happy, as he finally had another trump card to use.

Chapter 499 is about buying a full-service package, not just a full-service package.

"When can it be fully repaired?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"It depends on your needs. The materials you provide will affect the final repair results. I can use materials from aquatic organisms, but if you want something else, you'll have to find someone else."

The fisherman replied.

"Father-in-law~"

His eyes darted around, and he called out in a sweet, cloying voice.

"Don't call me father-in-law. When did I ever agree to marry the female diver to you?"

The fisherman's expression changed instantly, as if his sore spot had been touched.

"It's just a title, it's not important, not important at all. You've dominated the sewers for so many years, you must have accumulated a lot of aquatic organism materials, right?"

He ignored the fisherman's resistance and said...

"What dominance over the sewers? I'm just an employee."

Despite saying that, the fisherman's expression relaxed somewhat.

"I told you last time, everything here is part of the sewer system. I gave you so much stuff for free before, and considering my past work performance, the sewer system can turn a blind eye."

"But if you want to get materials of this caliber again, you either need to perform even better at your job, or you need to exchange them for something else."

“I can waive the labor cost, but it must at least be of equal value.”

He explained.

"That's it"

Liu Zheng fell into thought.

To put it even more impressively, what I mean is helping the sewers regain their will to escape.

But that's obviously not something that can be done overnight, so it's more reliable to exchange it for something else.

As for finding someone else to fix it, he gave up after a little thought.

First of all, others may not be able to fix it.

Secondly, it's obviously most appropriate to have a fisherman repair fishing rods.

Finding the pond owner to repair it isn't out of the question, but Liu Zheng suspects that he usually just uses water pumps or electrofishing machines.

Moreover, the current state of the pond owner makes chatting difficult, let alone helping him with chores.

Are there any requirements regarding the items?

Liu Zheng asked.

"Preferably living organisms, ideally species not found in sewers. The more intact the body, the better; the more numerous, the better; and preferably, alive."

"For example, you provide high-quality materials, but if they meet your requirements, I can use perfect-quality materials to help you repair them."

The fisherman replied.

"What if it's of perfect quality?"

"Then I can use legendary quality materials to help you repair it."

"What if it's of legendary quality?"

He asked greedily.

"Then I'll move it to another place, and you can be the one to manage this sewer."

The fisherman said expressionlessly.

"Haha. Just kidding, just kidding. Do you know where I can get the most suitable materials?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"I don't know. I used to get the materials myself from the sewers or the nearshore area; I never needed to buy them."

The fisherman said proudly.

"You didn't get targeted by the sewers like this, did you?"

"roll!"

The fisherman's arm transformed into a net, and with one throw, he was thrown into the sewer well.

"Tsk, you got tricked but won't let anyone say it. With such a bad temper, no wonder you can't have a good relationship with your child."

Liu Zheng muttered to himself as he crawled back to the ground.

Back in the car, the driver floored the gas pedal and sped off to the next destination.

"Sa Du You" Trading Company.

He looked at the sign in front of him, lost in thought.

This accent sounds remarkably similar to that of the "Ga Ga Shuang" bathhouse.

Yuan Bao'er also said that the five families outside the pass all have their businesses in the city. Could it be that they were opened by acquaintances?

With that in mind, Liu Zheng simply made a phone call.

"Mr. Liu, is there anything I can help you with?"

Upon answering the phone, Yuan Bao'er got straight to the point.

"I've come to 'Sayoudu' Trading Company to buy some things. Is this owned by one of the five families from outside the pass?"

He didn't stand on ceremony and asked directly.

"That's right, it's run by the Hui family, but it's unclear who's managing it right now. Have you arrived yet?"

Yuan Bao'er asked.

"Yes, I'm already at the door."

"Okay, I'll get in touch with them."

Yuan Bao'er hung up the phone decisively.

Soon, a short, weasel-faced middle-aged man came out of the shop.

"You must be General Manager Liu?"

He looked at Liu Zheng's uniform, a hint of apprehension flashing in his eyes, then extended a hand and asked warmly.

"Yes, what's your name?"

Liu Zheng grasped his hand and asked.

"I am the manager here, Hui San'er. You can just call me Xiao San'er."

The middle-aged man said with a smile.

"Isn't this not good?"

Liu Zheng squinted and said.

He came to buy things, not to catch someone cheating.

"If you think it sounds bad, you can call me Third Grandson."

The middle-aged man said considerately.

"I'll still call you Manager Hui. You and General Manager Yuan?"

“My grandmother is her cousin, but according to the seniority of our Hui family, I am her uncle. So we are equals, I call her Bao Wu Mei, and she calls me Hui San Ge.”

"That's what the gray shopkeeper said."

"Well. No wonder it's a big family; the family relationships are quite complicated."

Liu Zheng said sympathetically.

“We think so too. So recently, five young people who know programming have been developing a software that can display blood relation and the correct way to address someone simply by entering their names.”

"Unfortunately, their technology isn't up to par; they haven't even managed to produce a beta version yet."

"That's what the shopkeeper complained."
