Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

"Without you protecting me, I would have died on my first day of work. Without you guiding me, how would I have known about ways to make money?"

“Every time I escape death, I’m grateful that I applied for a food delivery job. Otherwise, how could I have met such a capable boss like you?”

He said it with heartfelt sincerity.

"Well, protecting the younger brothers is what a leader should do, so there's no need to emphasize it."

The ox and horse pretended to be serious, but all their big teeth were showing in a grin.

"Then the money you borrowed."

"Boss, we may be brothers, but we still need to settle our scores."

Liu Zheng smiled politely.

"Hmph, as if I care about your little bit of money."

The oxen and horses held their heads high with pride, showing their disdain.

"By the way, boss, could you also ask Napoleon if he had any information about Vlad III?"

"What's wrong? Is that tree craving alcohol again?"

"No, it's that vampire who wants it. He doesn't need a whole bottle, just one sip is enough."

Liu Zheng said.

"What's the difference between a bottle and a sip of that kind of wine?"

The ox and the horse said the same thing as him.

If it were just ordinary good wine, wealthy people might deliberately not finish it in order to show their high social standing.

But Vlad III was the kind of person who drank so much that every bottle he could not finish it had to be packed up.

"Just ask, if they don't have it, then forget it."

Liu Zheng said.

"You make it sound so easy, but it's not like you're the one running errands."

The ox and horse pursed their lips.

"The capable should do more work. If I could run errands, I would definitely do it myself."

"Go by yourself? Then you'll really only have two legs left after you finish running."

The ox and horse mocked.

"So I need you to step in. By the way, I need this thing to win tomorrow's match, so I'll have to ask you to help with the food delivery for a while."

Liu Zheng displayed the black koi.

Perhaps the system altered their perception, because these strange residents completely ignored his actions of taking things from the system space.

"Think beautifully!"

"It's just a small token, consider it a tip for the hoof trimmings."

He handed over a stack of banknotes.

"Yes, I've been gaining weight lately, so it's time to stretch my muscles a bit."

The ox and horse sighed.

"I need to borrow that Lucky Joker card, or you can just sell it to me."

"Don't push your luck, kid."

The oxen and horses were enraged again.

Liu Zheng then presented the paper money.

"not enough."

The ox and horse raised their eyelids slightly.

Liu Zheng added money.

"Alright, since you're really on the right track, I guess I'll have to reluctantly give you up."

The ox and horse spat out the Lucky Joker card.

He put away the Lucky Joker card, glad he had the foresight to borrow money from the front desk.

Well, since she's a vampire, let's just call her Vampire Girl from now on.

"By the way, boss, could you get me a set of those makeup tools from the casino last time?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"this one"

The ox and horse looked a little hesitant.

"What's wrong?"

"Those guys in the kitchen definitely don't have it. If you want to get it, you'll have to go to the customer service department."

Niu Ma said with a pained expression.

Chapter 104 The Boss Invites You

Are the customer service staff difficult to deal with?

Liu Zheng asked.

"The others are fine, it's just that Briton guy."

The cows and horses sucked their teeth.

"It's gotten more and more perverted since it disappeared from below. Everyone except the boss is afraid of it."

"Boss, you can't possibly be unable to beat it, can you?"

"Can't beat it."

The ox and horse honestly admitted it.

"My strength, Napoleon's, and Britain's are roughly equal."

"But that guy is now free of any ties, and his personality is becoming more and more extreme. If you really fight him, he will really fight you to the death, and he doesn't care if he is burned to nothingness."

"How can someone like that be the head of the customer service department?"

Isn't Si Xue afraid that it will offend major clients?

"That's why that guy is a monster. He doesn't bare his teeth at the customers, but he fights with the people in the restaurant."

Niu Ma slapped his thigh and said.

"I see, he's only good at bullying his own kind."

Liu Zheng said dismissively.

He despised these guys who were experts at internal wars but incompetent at external wars.

"Even if it's a bully at home, it's still a bully. I really don't want to provoke it unless it's absolutely necessary."

"Then could you bring me some white paint and a needle and thread from the kitchen?"

Liu Zheng settled for second best.

These kitchens definitely have them; Napoleon used needles and thread when he was skinning people and stuffing them with straw.

"This is fine."

Niu Ma took the coffee and went out the door, returning quickly.

“Napoleon said that Vlad III had no stock, but he knew where to find it and gave you two options.”

Which two options?

Liu Zheng asked.

"The first option is to give it to you directly, but that will consume the favor you've done, and you'll have to transfer to the kitchen."

"No, no, no."

He immediately shook his head.

Going to the kitchen without any sense of decency is tantamount to courting death.

Napoleon was wealthy and powerful, and had a strict temperament; he wasn't as easy to talk to as a poor, powerless beast of burden.

"I bet you won't choose that either. The second option is that it tells you the address, and you go buy it yourself; that's basically a freebie."

Niu Ma gestured for Liu Zheng to extend his hand, then spat out a slip of paper.

"Dukang Winery, No. 18 Yunmeng Road".

He opened the map and glanced at it; it was about 13 kilometers northeast of the Bloody Restaurant.

“Napoleon said that this wine is hard to buy. If you feel something is wrong, just say that he sent you to purchase it, and you should be able to escape this predicament.”

"But if you don't feel it, then you're asking for trouble."

Niu Ma added.

"It's okay, there's no rush."

After Liu Zheng finished speaking, he took the makeup items off its corner.

We have the needle and thread, and we have the white paint.

However, it doesn't look like lime or lead powder.

He took a little bit, rubbed the two tentacles together, and felt that the texture was very rough.

Moreover, it has a strong adsorption capacity, making it quite suitable as a pigment.

"This is the fine powder of the white-scaled moth. It can be used as a pigment and will not fade for hundreds of years. The downside is..."

The oxen and horses dragged out their cries.

As it spoke, the parts of its two tentacles that were covered in the powder caught fire.

"The downside is that if it gets covered in blood and flesh, it will keep burning until the area it touched turns to ash."

The ox and horse finished speaking with satisfaction.

"You've come at just the right time."

Liu cut off the burning part of the tentacle without any expression.

Luckily, he only had a little bit, otherwise he would have had to eat dried anchovies again.

"Absolutely, people don't know my nickname, 'Timely Rain.'"

The ox and horse said happily.

You're a food delivery guy, what are you talking about? You're more like a superhuman speedster.

Too lazy to argue with it, Liu Zheng dialed Nightingale's number.

"Nightingale? I'm the delivery guy."

"Oh? Go ahead and tell me."

The nightingale's voice sounded a little busy.

"Meet me tomorrow at 3 PM at the entrance to the Rose Street sewers,"

He glanced at his phone and said.

"Sure, do you need me to prepare your fishing gear?"

"That's what the nightingale said generously."

"Huh? Aren't the fish in the sewers supposed to be caught by yourself?"

Liu Zheng asked, puzzled.

"Although I don't know who told you this, it must be a trick on you."

The nightingale suppressed a laugh.
