Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

Now that the 90% discount is gone, he couldn't afford it even if he sold everything he owned at the original price. Even with Dr. Nile and his team, it would still be a struggle.

"You can't buy it even if you have the money. To purchase a divine item, you have to pay for a divine dream or nightmare. You've already used up your purchasing privileges."

After getting to know each other better, Feng Jizi became much more casual in his speech.

"How many more purchase permissions do I have left?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"You can buy three bottles of the top-grade quality, and the total purchase limit for quality below the upper grade is 100 million."

Feng Jizi replied.

"What grade are those two types of liquor?"

He took out the wine bottle that the skinny horse had given him.

"The bottle in your hand is of excellent quality, and the wine itself is of the highest quality."

Feng Jizi glanced at it and said.

"That's okay."

Liu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.

The vampire girl wanted the Vlad III limited edition, the red pig wanted the Vlad III Yellow Wine, and the gravedigger wanted the Light Wine—exactly three bottles.

"Senior~"

His eyes darted around, and his voice became more discreet.

"Young friend, speak kindly. This old man has no homosexual tendencies."

Feng Jizi exclaimed in horror.

"Ahem, I just wanted to ask if it's possible to exchange the purchase limit for items below the top grade for the purchase limit for the highest grade."

Liu Zheng returned to his normal tone.

"Purchase permissions can only be exchanged for lower-level ones, not higher-level ones."

Feng Jizi shook his head.

"Ok."

He originally wanted to ask Feng Jizi if she had employee privileges, but then he thought that one shouldn't be too greedy.

They had only met by chance, and Feng Jizi had already helped him a great deal. If he were to take advantage of her kindness, he would risk being punished by the patriarch.

"Then I'll have a bottle of this Vlad III Yellow Wine, a limited edition of Vlad III, and a bottle of Light Wine."

Liu Zheng said.

"The price of the third-generation yellow wine is one million, the price of Vlad III is one million five hundred thousand, and the price of the wine alone is three million ten thousand, so it will cost five million five hundred thousand in total."

Feng Jizi quoted a price.

"Money really doesn't last long."

He sighed and took out 5.5 million and handed it over to the other party.

Feng Jizi put the money into his sleeve, then swiped his employee card on the catalog, and three bottles of fine wine appeared on the table.

Liu Zheng didn't bother to read the item descriptions and simply put them into his system space.

"Then I'll have to ask you to help me with the rest."

He told Feng Jizi about the requirements for both the plane trees and the rust.

"What is your budget, young friend?"

Feng Jizi asked.

"One and a half million."

He thought for a moment and said.

It's still necessary to keep some cash on hand for unforeseen circumstances.

"Very well, in that case, I will make the decision for you."

Feng Jizi nodded.

"Thank you, senior."

"Young friend, please sit here for a moment. I'll be right back."

Feng Jizi said.

"Please do as you please, senior."

After Feng Jizi left, Liu Zhengze continued drinking tea.

Although the effects don't stack, it tastes good, and it's a high-quality tea—why not drink it?

After drinking several cups, Feng Jizi returned.

"Well, young friend, I have a favor to ask, but I don't know if I should say it."

His expression was somewhat troubled.

"If there's anything I shouldn't say to my seniors, then they're treating me like an outsider."

Liu Zheng said generously.

"In that case, I will speak then. A few of my colleagues and I would like to ask you, young friend, to help us purchase some supplies. I wonder if that would be convenient for you?"

Feng Jizi said.

Doesn't the distillery provide supplies for its employees?

“There are centralized procurements every week. But as you probably know, these government procurements are not only expensive and low-quality, but also have a very limited variety.”

Feng Jizi complained.

"That's true."

He agreed.

"Last time I asked the purchasing department to buy me a Go board, do you know what they actually bought?"

"what?"

Liu Zheng chimed in, playing the straight man.

"It bought me a Go board."

Feng Jizi said with a speechless expression.

The Go board is 19x19 with 361 intersections.

The Go board is 15x15 with 225 intersections.

A Go board is fine for playing Gomoku, but a Gomoku board is completely unplayable for playing Go.

"That's pretty outrageous."

He said sympathetically.

"The key is that you can't afford to fall out with them, otherwise they might buy the wrong thing again next time. At worst, they'll just refund your money, but things will be delayed."

"You even have to go through the refund process yourself. Can you believe how infuriating that is?"

Feng Jizi grew angrier the more she thought about it, and slammed her hand on the table.

"Don't be angry, senior. Leave the purchasing to me. I promise I'll handle it properly for you."

Liu Zheng poured him a cup of fresh tea and then comforted him.

"Also, next time it goes out to make purchases, let me know, and I'll find someone to make sure it gets revenge for you."

A sinister smile appeared on his face.

"There's no need to arrange it. We've been colleagues for so many years, we see each other all the time. Besides, even if we really had to do it, it wouldn't be appropriate for an outsider like you to handle it. Just help me buy everything."

Feng Jizi shook his head.

"Okay, just let me know if you need anything. I can't say for sure about other things, but in the Metropolis, when it comes to connections for murder, arson, bombing, or anything like that, mentioning me will get you anywhere."

Liu Zheng said arrogantly.

"Not bad, not bad, we have successors."

Feng Jizi patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction, then took out a notebook from his sleeve.

"Young friend, this is the list of items we asked you to purchase. You don't need to buy everything; just purchase more than half of them, and we will appreciate your help."

He then took out a bank card from his sleeve.

"There's one million in this card, the PIN is eight eights, that should be enough for purchases, the rest is yours. You can decide how much to use it."

Feng Jizi continued.

"Don't worry, senior. I always exceed expectations and never skimp on tasks."

Although Liu Zheng's tone was soft, his words were extremely sincere.

"Then I'll leave it to you, young friend."

Feng Jizi crossed his hands and said.

Liu Zheng's arrival was a rare opportunity for them, as other buyers either didn't trust them, or they didn't trust them, or they simply didn't trust each other.

Liu Zheng not only has connections with fellow villagers, but is also willing to offer goods as collateral, and his network of connections is extensive, making him the perfect candidate to run a personal shopping agency business.

"How dare you?"

Liu Zheng returned the greeting with clasped hands.

"please."

Feng Jizi then led him out of the administration building.

Two forklifts were parked in the open space in front of the gate, each with many boxes on it.

"Young friend, would you like to take inventory?"

Feng Jizi took the initiative to produce two printed purchase lists.

"Let's take stock of the restaurant's inventory; let's keep things strictly business."

Liu Zheng took the purchase list and said.

"Young friend, you are young but you have a very methodical approach to things. Not bad, not bad."

Feng Jizi liked him more and more the more he looked at him. If it weren't for the age and generational difference, he would have wanted to take him in as his godson.

Liu Zheng took the restaurant's purchase list and opened the boxes, checking each bottle one by one.

Fortunately, all the wine was classified as items by the system, and he could store them in the system space after each batch was counted, which was quite convenient.

After taking stock of the restaurant's drinks, Liu Zheng put all the drinks he had purchased, including the boxes, into his system space.

The system can accept containers for items as long as they are within reasonable limits, which is quite user-friendly.

"The inventory is complete, and there are no problems."

He said.

"In that case, I will see you out, young friend."

Feng Jizi raised his sleeve, ready to put him inside.

"Wait a moment."

Liu Zheng waved his hand and said.

"Is there anything else, young friend?"

"Senior, is this sleeve a magical artifact or a spell?"

he asked.

"This is a magical technique called 'Universe in the Sleeve'."
