Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

"Manager Xu, is there a problem?"

He answered the phone and asked.

"Mr. Liu, your godfather has already been buried. Would it be convenient for you to come over?"

"That's what the bald manager said."

Is this a necessary procedure?

Liu Zheng asked.

"It is still necessary. Firstly, it is for the sake of the deceased's mental health. Secondly, the identity of the chief officiant will also affect the deceased's life after death."

"That's what the bald manager said."

"Okay, I'll come over in a bit."

Good people do it to the end and send Buddha to the West.

Since his godfather had given him a rare item as a gift, he, as the adopted son, couldn't refuse.

"Okay, then we'll wait for you here."

"Is there anything I need to bring?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"If possible, it would be best to bring a funeral couplet. The more powerful and higher the status of the person who writes the couplet, the better."

"That's what the bald manager said."

"Can I ask the gravedigger to write it for me?"

"I'm afraid that's not appropriate. Funeral couplets can only be written by the living, and you, the gravedigger, may not meet the requirements."

"That's what the bald manager said."

Having served as a spokesperson for the cemetery for so many years, even those who were once alive are now half-dead.

Are there any requirements for the materials used for the funeral couplets?

Liu Zheng asked again.

"Of course, the more precious the better."

"I have a blank black talisman made from the core of a ten-thousand-year-old submerged wood. Is that alright?"

He was reminded of Garcia's legacy.

"Of course. Our funeral home happens to have a treasured blank black talisman. If Mr. Liu needs it, we can reluctantly part with it."

The bald manager thought for a moment and then said.

"how much is it?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"If Mr. Liu wants it, the cost price is 100,000 yuan."

"That's what the bald manager said."

"What benefits would I get?"

He asked very directly.

The fact that the earthbound spirit has become a Buddha shows that he has done a very good job. It's fine to add to the glory, but if there's no benefit to it, there's no need to make a big fuss.

"this one"

The bald manager fell silent, seemingly torn between speaking or not.

"Does Manager Xu have some unspeakable difficulty?"

Liu Zheng took the initiative to ask.

"That's true. It's a closely guarded secret of this funeral home; no employee below the manager level is qualified to know it."

"That's what the bald manager said frankly."

"Oh, Manager Xu, you misunderstood. That's not what I was asking."

He shook his head.

"Then who are you?"

"What I'm asking is, do you have any unspeakable difficulties?"

Liu Zheng spoke in the tone of a caring older brother.

Chapter 547 Liu Zheng: The driver has gone mad, he wants me to be the new chief.

"What does Mr. Liu mean by this?"

The bald manager asked cautiously.

Generally speaking, if someone you don't know well suddenly asks you if you have something difficult to say, they are either a liar or a miracle doctor.

But neither the former nor the latter is good news.

"It's nothing. I don't have any other hobbies, I just love making friends. I think you're a nice person, Manager Xu, and I'd like to make friends with you, so I thought I'd give you a little gift."

Liu Zheng said.

"I am honored to be friends with Mr. Liu. However, the money you have given me is already more than enough, and I really dare not accept it."

The bald manager smiled wryly.

He has seen countless people in his life, both the dead and the living, so while he can't be said to be 100% certain in judging people, he's pretty accurate.

Despite Liu Zheng's impeccable manners and logical thinking, the bald manager sensed a madness beneath his calm exterior.

Who wouldn't be scared if a madman wanted to be friends with them?

If you don't agree, you'll definitely get killed; if you agree, you might still get killed. Who can stand that?

"Then let's not talk about money. Middle age brings many worries, and I'd like to hear about yours."

Liu Zheng patiently and persuasively explained.

"Mr. Liu, please don't make things difficult for me. Here's what I'll do: I'll make a call and ask my superior. If that doesn't work, then there's really nothing I can do. I'll also return the tips you gave me earlier."

The bald manager politely declined.

"also."

He didn't pursue the matter relentlessly.

It's not about rushing into a deal; as long as his words leave a seed, it will eventually sprout.

The bald manager hung up the phone and called back after more than ten minutes.

“Our leader has agreed to your request in principle, but we also have one request.”

"Please say."

I'm not afraid of a lion asking for a lot of money, I'm afraid of a lion not asking for anything at all, otherwise how can I shoot it in?

"Our funeral home wants a coffin made from the trunk of that sentient plane tree on Rose Street."

"That's what the bald manager said."

"Have you investigated me?"

Liu asked with a strange expression.

"Well, expanding customer information is also an important part of business operations."

"That's what the bald manager said tactfully."

"Do you know that it has evolved now?"

he asked again.

"Huh? We haven't got this information yet. Has it already escaped?"

The bald manager was startled upon hearing this.

"No, but it's become even more pampered and precious now, so I doubt whether our deal is worth the price."

Liu Zheng said.

"Please wait a moment, we will send someone to confirm right away."

"That's what the bald manager said."

"Go ahead. If you get caught, just say my name, and you might save your life."

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Liu."

The bald manager hung up the phone, and this time the phone didn't ring until the ghost hand crawled in.

Liu Zheng gave it two drinks and a dessert, then picked up the takeout order.

"Item: One serving of Colorful XX Jelly"

Address: Main entrance of Xihe Center.

"Orderer: Deputy Director Li"

Time Limit: One Hour

"It turns out that Green Field Culture's order came first."

He was slightly surprised.

But on second thought, it makes sense. The guy in the pajamas was only after satisfying his appetite, while Green Field Culture was after tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars in profits.

After eating and drinking his fill, Ghost Hand patted Liu Zheng on the shoulder with satisfaction, then turned and crawled away.

He picked up the half-full cardboard box and walked out of the break room.

He opened the food container on the food cart, and a lump of jelly, as big as two fists, appeared in front of him.

Although its shape and sheen resemble jelly, its texture is difficult to describe. Not only is it low in transparency, but it also contains many colorful flocculent particles, which is probably the origin of the prefix "colorful".

Name: Colorful XX Jelly (Disposable)

Type: Item

Quality: Excellent

"Effect 1: Minor restoration of physical strength."

"Effect 2: Improves sexual ability in a short period of time and increases the chances of pregnancy for the fertilized person (ineffective for individuals who are unable to conceive or for individuals of extremely difficult fertility, such as long-lived species)."

"Note: This amazing food, made with ingredients from hundreds of races, can not only give you and your partner a harmonious sex life, but also bring a newborn into your family (as long as you don't care who the biological father is)."

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

"Difficult to evaluate."

Liu Zheng placed it into the Legendary delivery box with a slight twitch at the corner of his eye.

Let alone an item of excellent quality, even one of perfect quality!

He'll have to see the effects before deciding whether to take it or not.

Thankfully, the green light came on again, and he didn't have to suffer through another round of mental pollution.

Liu Zheng walked to the delivery lane but did not go in immediately. Instead, he put the cardboard box he was carrying inside first.

The next second, after he stepped into the passage again, he did not go directly to the exit.

"Here are some drinks and desserts for you. I don't know your tastes or appetite, so I just picked out a little bit for you. If you're satisfied, keep the food and spit out the cardboard box."

He said, leaning against the wall.

If they're not satisfied, they'll naturally spit out the food and the cardboard box together.

In the darkness, there seemed to be the sound of a giant beast swallowing and spitting, or like some kind of mechanism in operation.

Liu Zheng reached out and touched it; the cardboard box was still there, but the contents were gone.

"They're quite easy to raise."

He smiled and lightly patted the wall.
