Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

"Did you get the girl?"

The ox and horse asked, picking their teeth.

Beside its feet was a bag containing strips of dried arms.

The arms look human-like, but the hands look more like the claws of some kind of large bird.

"A tribe of crows just came into the kitchen, and these are all inferior products from there."

Niu Ma noticed Liu Zheng's gaze and casually offered an explanation.

"It tastes good, but it gets stuck in your teeth. Want some?"

"No need, my teeth aren't good, I prefer soft food."

Liu Zheng shook his head.

It's not that he has a phobia of germs; he can bring himself to bite anything that isn't human.

The system didn't provide any description of the items, so he felt uneasy eating them.

Given the nature of this world, food without product descriptions may not have positive effects, but negative effects are almost guaranteed.

"You're such a jerk. You still haven't told me whether you've managed to get the girl or not?"

"It got soaked, but not completely."

He said.

"What the hell? Explain in detail."

The oxen and horses sat up from the haystack, their eyes burning with a fierce, gossipy fire.

"I tricked the female diver and that blond guy into going to the sewers to have a fishing contest. If I beat the blond guy, he'd let me seduce the female diver."

"Isn't that great? Seriously, is that blond guy crazy, gambling with his own woman?"

"The cows and horses complained."

"Well, how should I put it, the facts are a bit different from the fisherman's description."

"That blond guy is good-looking, elegant, smart, and also a rich kid."

“That fisherman wasn’t happy. If my future daughter could snag such a rich husband, I’d be happy even if Napoleon fried me to medium-rare.”

The oxen and horses did not understand.

"But the blonde one is female."

"Wow... you humans really know how to have fun."

The ox and horse sighed.

"Hey, those three are obviously not human."

Liu Zheng protested.

Who is so kind as to stretch out their arm to use as a fishing rod?

Hmm, it seems like he can do it too, then it's fine.

"Then tell me, do you humans have this kind of thing?"

"Yes, a little."

He had no choice but to admit it.

In the real world, yuri literature still has a large and loyal following.

Of course, Liu Zheng has always held a critical attitude towards this.

"That solves it, we cattle and horses don't have that."

"Do you know why you humans, despite being so weak, are still able to maintain your status as a middle race?"

"I don't know. Why? And what is a middle race?"

he asked curiously.

Chapter 103 You really are a succubus

"The offspring of any citizen of this race who passes the birth test automatically acquire citizenship. This race is considered an intermediate race."

"It's like a cow and a horse," Niu Ma explained.

"What about the superior races?"

“All individuals of the upper race automatically possess citizenship, and they will not be deprived of it even if they are unemployed. Individuals who fail the birth test will not be sent for processing, but will be euthanized. Even if relatives are willing to pay a large fine, individuals can continue to live, but will be demoted to third-class citizens.”

"The ox and horse said."

"As expected of a superior race. So, which races belong to the superior race category?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"I don't know. I'm just a deliveryman, how would I know anything about the elite?"

The ox and horse rolled their eyes.

"Okay. Then why are humans considered a middle race?"

"Because your human minds are more active than most races, more than 27 percent of the city hall's employees are human."

"The ox and horse said."

"How did you know such precise numbers?"

"According to the previous delivery driver, he has a relative in the personnel department of the city hall. He's probably the fifteenth one before you."

"The ox and horse thought for a moment and said..."

"His relatives are so powerful, why is he still delivering food?"

"It's not that his relative is powerful, but that he is. Besides, it's hard to say how close this relative is."

“You’re like me. I only started recognizing my relatives after I became a citizen.”

"The ox and horse said."

"That's true. What kind of race are cattle and horses?"

"Inferior race, I guess. But there's nothing we can do about it. The average intelligence of us cows and horses is indeed not high. Someone like me is considered a genius."

Niu Ma shrugged.

"Uh."

Thinking about how it fell asleep instantly while doing a Sudoku puzzle, Liu Zheng gained a general understanding of the intelligence of the cattle and horse tribe.

What is the difference between inferior and middle races?

"Even if the parents of individuals from lower-class races have citizenship and pass the birth test, they still have to pay a household tax to obtain citizenship. Many families from lower-class races work hard their whole lives just to prepare this money for their offspring."

"The ox and horse said."

"If you've prepared for a lifetime, then it'll be too late to have children."

Liu Zheng discovered the flaw in its statement.

"That's why you need a loan. Both banks and lenders offer 'household registration loans' specifically for lower-class people. However, the interest rates are all incredibly high."

"Even their slogans are consistent: 'Don't let your children lose at the starting line.'"

The tone of the ox and horse was quite sarcastic.

"So you want to get involved in smuggling just to collect 'household registration tax'?"

"Not entirely. Why do you care so much?"

The ox and horse glared at each other.

"Alright, alright, I won't ask anymore. So what race is the Oink?"

"Pig-headed people, they belong to the lowest class."

"The ox and horse said."

What is an untouchable?

“People of the lowest caste are not born with citizenship; only the most fortunate individuals can become citizens.”

"Ah, why? They shouldn't be unintelligent."

Pig-headed people are at least half human, so their average intelligence must be higher than that of cows and horses.

"It's not a matter of intelligence; someone in higher up doesn't want the pig-headed people to become citizens."

"The ox and horse said."

"why?"

"I don't know, Oink didn't say. There's probably a lot more to it than meets the eye, so you shouldn't ask too many questions."

The ox and horse shook their heads.

"Alright. By the way, I met a vampire at the board game arcade. She's also trying to make a lot of money. Here's her number. Contact her if you're interested."

Liu Zheng gave the front desk number.

"A vampire? What level?"

"I don't know, anyway, she only did it for six years before her blood father was taken to the hospital to work as a dialysis machine."

"That's pretty tragic."

The cattle and horses marveled at the sight.

"However, judging from this, her blood father is at most a viscount, so there's no need to worry about her turning the tables on him in the future."

"Wow, no wonder he's a genius among the cattle and horses, he can even use idioms."

Liu Zheng applauded loudly.

"If you want a beating, just say so. Don't give me excuses."

The ox and horse said in a sinister tone.

"Boss, I was wrong."

He slid to his knees at the speed of light.

"Hmph. I know about this. We'll talk about it when I get back from Paradise Island."

"Okay, by the way, could you take these coffees to the kitchen and distribute them for me?"

Liu Zheng placed the bag of unlucky coffee in front of Niu Ma.

"Wait, where did you get so much money? You must have almost spent all the money you got in the first place."

The ox and horse were completely baffled.

"I borrowed 30,000 from that vampire."

"How much is the interest?"

"They didn't mention the interest rate, nor did they say when the repayment would be made."

Liu Zheng said.

"So you really are a succubus in disguise, right? No, succubi have to sell themselves, how the hell did you manage to do that?"

The oxen and horses were so jealous their eyes turned red.

It came from the breeding farm and worked diligently to cheat and swindle, and conscientiously committed murder and arson, finally managing to accumulate a little wealth.

This guy has only been working for less than a week, but he's already made a bunch of connections, acquired a whole set of equipment, and earned a ton of money.

It doesn't understand, and it can't accept.

"Isn't that because you're awesome, boss?"

Liu Zheng said it quite naturally.

"Hmm? Tell me more."

The cattle and horses stretched out their ears.
