Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

"Then you come?"

He let go.

The female diver fell to the ground, looking like a statue.

"Humph!"

That sound belonged to the fisherman.

"Humph!"

That sound belongs to the female diver.

"They really are my biological children."

Liu Zheng sighed and picked up the sea woman again.

"Humph!"

This time it's Nightingale's.

"No, why don't you three just kill me?"

He couldn't take it anymore, and a tentacle curled up a boning knife and held it to his neck.

"Come on, come on, someone kind enough to give me a push, even if it's suicide."

He shouted.

"Kid, stop fooling around and put the knife away."

The fisherman couldn't stand it anymore.

"You can put it away, but the three of you better not cause any more trouble, or I'll kick you right now."

Liu Zheng threatened.

"You will continue to be a lonely old man. You will continue to be harassed by the old man. You will continue to support your board game empire with Kingslayer Chess."

He pointed to the three of them one by one and spoke.

"Kid, believe it or not, I'll kill you."

The fisherman roared, and the sea maiden and the nightingale glared at him angrily.

"Come on, let's see who kills whom?"

Liu Zheng held a teething stick in one hand and a golden finger in the other.

Seeing that the Black Koi's effect was about to transform, he wanted to see what the chew stick would look like with the cheat and maximum luck bonus.

What will it summon?

Chapter 117 How to lose with Lucky Max?

The three people looked up at the sky.

Even if the three of them worked together, they should be able to take down a Tindaros Hound.

But who knows how many Liu Zheng will summon, or even if he summons a Tindaros Lord directly?

"My proposal is valid?"

Liu Zheng asked.

The three people nodded reluctantly.

"If only we had done this earlier, it would have been over. Why did we have to put on this show? I'm annoyed even if you're not."

He grabbed the nightingale with one hand and the sea woman with the other, and squeezed next to the fisherman.

The female divers tilted their bodies as much as possible to avoid physical contact with her father.

"Let's go quickly."

Liu Zheng noticed her subtle movements, but he didn't try to stop her.

The fisherman glared at him and shook his hand.

A huge shadow loomed over them from above, and after a splash of water, the four of them were swallowed by the ray.

The stench of rotting aquatic life filled Liu Zheng's nostrils.

He tentatively touched it, but didn't feel any flesh-like substance; what he could touch was liquid.

But he was breathing normal air.

Biological submarines belong to this category.

Liu Zheng listened intently and could hear the sound of the rays riding the waves.

Since he had nothing to do anyway, he simply started counting in his head.

When he counted to 198, the ray stopped.

Liu Zheng felt a suction force pulling him in one direction, followed by an even greater force pushing him away in the opposite direction.

All four were vomited onto the shore at the same time and regained their sight.

The ray flicked its tail and sank into the water.

"This section of the river is the richest waterway outside of my fishpond and those restricted areas. I've designated this area as a safe zone. How much you catch depends on your skills."

The fisherman said with a pained expression.

Forcibly designating a safety zone in the sewers comes at a high cost, even if it is temporary.

But he was willing to go to any lengths for his daughter.

Liu Zheng was somewhat surprised; he had thought the fisherman would pull them to his fishpond.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Even if the fisherman didn't help him cheat, the female diver wouldn't agree.

He looked at the female diver, who indeed showed a satisfied expression.

How are wins and losses determined?

"The nightingale asked."

"The time limit is three hours, and the total value of the catch will be used to determine the outcome."

"That's what the fisherman said."

The nightingale nodded.

She was an expert at fishing; the female divers inherited the fishermen's skills and were able to accurately judge the value of the catch.

This standard is acceptable.

This is even more advantageous for Liu Zheng, who originally intended to win by focusing on quality.

With the "Never Go Home Empty-Handed" buff and maximum luck, he can catch bluefin tuna even in a latrine.

"Here, this is your fishing tackle."

Nightingale's fishing gear was very simple: a fishing rod, a box of bait, and a bucket of groundbait.

"Both bait and groundbait are versatile, isn't that fair?"

she asked with a smile.

Liu Zheng nodded.

"Uncle, could you give me a stool and a fish bucket?"

He emphasized the pronunciation of the word "uncle".

"Wait."

The fisherman glared at him, but then turned and left.

A few minutes later, he returned carrying three stools and two plastic buckets.

The fisherman put the things on the ground and left them there, but when he got up, he gave Liu Zheng a meaningful look.

Liu Zheng caught his gaze and tensed up.

Looking at the stool on the ground, he seemed to understand what the fisherman meant.

Of the three stools, one looked particularly old, with a crooked human face drawn on it with colored pencils.

"Here."

He kept one for himself, gave one to the nightingale, and finally gave the old stool to the sea woman.

The female diver pursed her lips, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

"Let's begin then, I'll be right here."

Liu Zheng said.

His luck stat is still very low, so it's best for him to stay closer to the fisherman.

Otherwise, you might get eaten by the fish before you even catch any.

"can."

Nightingale readily took the things and walked to a place about ten meters away from Liu Zheng.

The female divers followed.

After they were ready, the two looked at the fisherman.

"Three, two, one, start!"

The fisherman gave the instructions.

Swish!

Liu Zheng and Nightingale swung their clubs together.

Although neither of them exerted much effort because the river wasn't wide, the ritual was still important.

Within ten minutes of the hook being cast, Nightingale made a move.

The red and green floats suddenly trembled.

A fish has taken the bait!

The nightingale remained calm and focused, observing the drifting pattern intently.

The float trembled but did not sink; instead, it swayed from side to side.

This means the fish didn't take the bait; it was just testing the waters.

So she didn't lift the rod and continued to wait.

After dipping the bait in the water more than ten times, it finally sank sharply and disappeared in an instant.

This time they've really taken the bait!

The nightingale lifted it up, and a fish as long as a person was pulled out of the water.

This fish looks a bit like a carp, but it is covered with a shell like a lobster.

Seeing that it had taken the bait, it glared fiercely and charged at the nightingale with a flick of its tail.

Its fierce momentum was like that of a torpedo.

In an instant, the shrimp-carp rushed in front of the nightingale, then leaped up and crashed into her face.

The nightingale smiled gently and then extended her hand.

With a slap, the shrimp and carp were sent flying to the ground.

The force was so great that it slammed the fish's head into the ground.

The fish's body points straight up to the sky, like a flag or a javelin.

Seeing this, Nightingale smiled and simply let the fish remain stuck there, then looked at Liu Zheng.

He was staring intently at the fishing float with a serious expression.

But if you look closely, you'll find that his gaze is not focused at all.

In fact, its head has already started to nod little by little.
