Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

The skinny horse nodded slightly, then gestured for Liu Zheng to sit on its back.

After Liu Zheng sat down, it sprinted and took him back outside the Bloody Restaurant.

"唏伦~"

The skinny horse greeted them and then vanished without a trace.

"It's so great to have teleportation."

Liu Zheng expressed his great envy.

If he had the ability to teleport, he could do so much more in the time it takes to deliver food.

And once he finishes one task, he can take on even more, and so on, generation after generation, without end.

"Um"

Thinking about it this way, there doesn't seem to be anything to envy.

Back in the lounge, the ox and horse were gone.

Another takeout order?

Liu Zheng was slightly surprised.

But considering he seemed to have been out for quite a while, he definitely deserved some takeout.

Fortunately, Niu Ma isn't here, so I can call the Extreme Flavor Team.

"What are you doing?"

The call connected, and Liu Zheng asked.

"Looking at houses."

"I asked the soup vendor at the pot's edge."

"Looking for a house? Are you moving?"

he wondered.

"Look at the house that's going to be used to open an izakaya, idiot."

Guo Kou Tangzi rolled his eyes.

Although she was swearing, her tone was noticeably softer than before.

"Didn't you used to own a restaurant called Jiweilou? Why don't you buy it back?"

Liu Zheng said.

"Easy for you to say. Jiweilou has now been converted into a private club, and the room rates have increased many times over."

"How much? If not, I'll help you scrape together the money."

he asked.

"At least thirty million."

Guo Kou Tangzi replied.

"Okay, just pretend I didn't ask."

Liu Zheng decisively admitted defeat.

He managed to raise less than ten million despite his best efforts, and there's still a twenty million shortfall he can't cover.

"I wasn't really counting on you anyway."

"Pot Mouth Soup" muttered.

"First, we'll open a small shop, an izakaya, and get the Jiwei Group flag up again. Then we'll gradually expand the business and eventually take back Jiweilou."

She was talking about her plans.

"Not bad, quite down-to-earth."

Liu Zheng praised.

"That's right, do you really think I became the boss because of my bloodline?"

"You rascal, you still hold a grudge after I scolded you once."

He shook his head helplessly.

"Hmph. Speak quickly, what do you want with me?"

"Help me get someone sorted out."

Liu Zheng told Guo Kou Tangzi about Huang Jiongjiong.

"Should we get rid of it or what?"

"I asked the soup vendor at the pot's edge."

"No need, just keep him from leaving the house for a year or two."

He shook his head.

Upon closer examination, Huang Jiongjiong's crime doesn't warrant the death penalty.

Moreover, while getting rid of Huang Jiongjiong might be satisfying, it might not be a good thing for Niu Ma's wife.

After all, the other party isn't without connections, and the death of someone and the injury of someone are two completely different things. It wouldn't be good if the investigation led back to Niu Ma's wife.

If he can't work for a year or two, even if he's not fired, he won't pose much of a threat to Niu Ma's wife after he goes back to work.

"Okay. Do you want a deterrent type or an unexpected type?"

Upon hearing that no one would have to kill anyone, Guo Kou Tangzi readily agreed and even pressed for more details.

"What's the difference?"

"The deterrent type tells him that he has offended someone, and that when he is beaten, the fear effect will be greater. The accident type makes the incident seem like an accident, so that he thinks he was just unlucky."

"That's what Guo Kou Tangzi said."

"Impressive, impressive. No wonder you're a veteran gang; you're still very professional in your work."

Liu Zheng clapped his hands.

"That's right. So which one do you want?"

"An unexpected type, I guess."

He thought for a moment and said.

The ox and its mate probably didn't want to make a big fuss.

"it is good."

"so good."

After hanging up the phone, Liu Zheng subconsciously sighed.

The Extreme Flavors Group is set to reopen their store, Niu Ma's wife has resolved her work troubles, and the Nile River Doctor has found new members of his tribe.

Those who had helped him also began new and better lives with his assistance.

Sometimes Liu Zheng would think, why not just continue living like this in the metropolis until the system forces a recall or he is forced to settle accounts due to a life-or-death crisis?

Of course, that's just wishful thinking.

The last time the Red Ghost prevented him from completing the dungeon, it served as a warning to him that if he continued to stay in the metropolis, he would eventually encounter more entities that would render his trump cards ineffective.

Those "people" probably won't be as easy to talk to as Red Ghost.

So, for the sake of my life, I'll just settle the dungeon when it's almost time.

At worst, we can use the voluntary points we've accumulated in Metropolis to rampage through other dungeons, snowballing our advantage, and then make a big splash when we have the chance to return to Metropolis later.

When the time comes, the first thing he'll do is turn the Bloody Restaurant into a public toilet, and all the white-feathered chickens, white geese, and Britons will become latrine cleaners.

As for Si Xue, let's just reluctantly let her be a public toilet attendant.

Just as I was lost in thought, a ghostly hand crawled in from outside.

Liu Zheng took out several boxes of packaged food and two bottles of beer from the Legendary delivery box and placed them in front of it.

This was specially brought for Ghost Hand, since the guy couldn't talk and he didn't know what else he could give it besides food and drink.

Fortunately, Ghost Hand is quite easily satisfied.

While it was enjoying its meal, Liu Zheng picked up the takeout order from the ground.

"Meal: One serving of Supreme Confit Maggots"

Address: No. 666, Yitai Hutong

"Orderer: Witch Wolfva"

Time Limit: One Hour

"This order seems a bit difficult to deliver."

Looking at the information on the takeout order, he had a bad feeling.

He took out a map and looked it up, discovering that Yitai Hutong was in the old city area, which made his ominous premonition even clearer.

Without a second thought, Liu Zheng immediately called Niu Ma.

"Beep! Beep! Beep"

After a few short beeps, the call automatically ended.

Where were the cattle and horses sent?

he wondered.

However, since he survived being sent to the Imperial View Villa, he should be able to survive being sent elsewhere as well. He should worry about himself first.

"Old Town"

After thinking for a moment, Liu Zheng called the queen of the "Pink Kingdom" again.

"Man, what do you want?"

The Queen's tone was neither warm nor cold.

"I have a question for you. Do you know this place called Yitai Hutong?"

He got straight to the point.

"I know. It's a place where a bunch of madmen like wizards, witches, sorcerers, and witch doctors live."

The Queen answered just as decisively.

Do you know that witch, Volva?

Liu Zheng asked again.

"We don't know them. We're just a bunch of poor people who do the sex trade, and we don't want to or dare to deal with those dangerous guys."

The Queen shook her head.

"You're quite honest this time."

"Although I hate men, I'm not stupid. I can tell who treats us well and who treats us badly."

"That's what the Queen said."

"Then can I borrow Tomoko again?"

he asked tentatively.

"If you don't leave the old town, that's fine."

The Queen hesitated for a moment, but then agreed.

Okay. I'll call you later.

Liu Zheng hung up the phone and then called the Dark Elf priestess Yaksha.

"Who?"

"High Priest, how have you been?"

he asked with a smile.
