Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

Liu Zheng rode a stool to the oxen and horses.

In Go, the player with the black pieces moves first.

"I'm the eldest, so of course I go first."

Cattle and horses are duty-bound to take the lead.

"How many dots should be applied?"

Black has the advantage in the opening, so when calculating the final outcome, Black should give White a small amount of komi, which is called komi.

The number of items to be labeled varies depending on the rules of each country.

"What kind of sticker?"

The ox and horse countered with a question.

"Uh, it's nothing. Please continue, boss."

Seeing the cows and horses' seemingly clueless expressions, Liu Zheng had a bad feeling.

"Kid, today I'll show you one of my special skills."

The ox and horse used their hooves to pick up a black piece and slammed it hard onto the chessboard.

Its imposing presence caused the entire lounge to shake.

Fortunately, the chessboard seemed to be of high quality, as it did not crack on the spot.

But Liu Zheng broke down on the spot.

Because the move by the ox and horse is the center point.

How do I explain this behavior to someone who doesn't understand Go?

It's roughly equivalent to moving the king and general as the first move in chess, hitting the black eight as the first shot in billiards, or playing the royal flush as the first move in Dou Dizhu (a card game).

He's undeniably handsome, but he's also undeniably awful.

"Excuse me, sir, who taught you Go?"

He asked tactfully.

"You learned it yourself from children's books, so what?"

"It's nothing, it's fine."

Looking into its clear, innocent eyes, Liu Zheng said with difficulty.

He realized that this would probably be the most difficult game of Go he had ever played.

After all, figuring out how to lose to a novice who starts at the center without leaving a trace requires more than just skill.

Despite Liu Zheng's best efforts to underestimate Niu Ma's strength, Niu Ma still surprised him.

Even though he had almost turned Go into a game of Gomoku, Niu and Ma still lost to him in three out of six games.

This directly resulted in the cattle and horses being full of fighting spirit, while Liu Zhengsheng was despondent.

This Go marathon lasted until 8 p.m., and the staff didn't even bother to grab the staff meal; instead, they urged him to finish eating quickly and start playing Go again.

Of course, the two employee meals weren't very good quality, so they were just temporarily given him a boost in physical strength and energy.

The drinks were great, a bottle of excellent fruit wine and a cup of excellent milk tea.

Liu Zheng drank the milk tea himself and found that drinking dairy products could provide a slight therapeutic effect.

The fruit wine was stored away and will be given to the plane trees later.

Only after Ghost Hand slapped in and placed the takeout order did Niu and Ma reluctantly put away the chessboard.

"Come back and continue playing. I'm going to fight you until dawn today."

It shouted.

"I might be back by dawn, next time, next time for sure."

Liu Zheng quickly said.

"Alright, then you go deliver your takeout. I'm going to sleep now."

The ox and horse took out a Sudoku magazine, lay down on the haystack, and immediately began to snore.

"Phew, I escaped this time."

He burst into tears.

If he continues playing, his chess skills will regress to kindergarten level.

Picking up the takeout order, it was indeed from the vampire girl and her friends.

"Meal: A large portion of French fries"

Address: Tombstone No. 18703 in the cemetery.

"Orderer: Nightingale"

Time limit: Three hours

"Um"

Looking at the delivery address, Liu Zheng felt like he had a lot to complain about, but he didn't know where to start.

All I can say is that dancing in a funeral parlor is just a clumsy performance in the real world, while ordering takeout from gravesites is the true cultural confidence of a bizarre city.

Chapter 138 Giving Liu Zheng a Fake Father

"Boss, boss."

Although he was likely to get beaten up, Liu Zheng still managed to wake up the oxen and horses.

After all, a cemetery sounds dangerous, and he couldn't rely entirely on those three women.

"Are you looking for a beating, kid?"

The cattle and horses, awakened, flew into a rage.

It rubbed its nostrils frantically a few times; the kid's tentacles smelled of rotting plants.

"Hey boss, wait until I finish delivering the food before you beat me up. Can you check my order for me first?"

Liu Zheng begged for mercy.

"You should compensate me for my emotional distress first."

The oxen and horses stretched out their hooves.

"Go, go, go."

He helplessly slapped a banknote onto his hoof.

"Show me the list."

The oxen and horses contentedly lowered their hooves, and also their eager horns.

"Wow, the vampire's legacy is in the cemetery. Hmm, that makes sense when you think about it."

It nodded.

"Forget about whether it's reasonable or not, what exactly is a cemetery?"

“A cemetery is a cemetery. Citizens who are willing to pay can buy a burial plot for themselves, so that their bodies will not be taken away by the city hall for disposal or used by others.”

“Race such as vampires, zombies, and ghouls, if they have money, will buy a nest for themselves in a cemetery, since the environment there is more suitable for them to live in.”

"The ox and horse said."

"So, the cemetery is actually a residential area?"

"Pretty much. Besides, these dead people are actually much easier to deal with than the living people. It's just that the environment there is not suitable for living people to survive."

"Of course, with the protection of the legendary vest, it's not a big problem."

The ox and horse glanced enviously at the vest he was wearing.

Over the years, I've delivered takeout to the cemetery a few times. It wasn't dangerous, but it was always very uncomfortable.

"I can rest assured that."

Liu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.

"You're too optimistic. While the dead are generally easier to deal with than the living, some of the dead are far more troublesome than the living."

Niu Ma sneered.

"How to say?"

He slapped another banknote onto the hooves of the cattle and horses.

"Normally, the city hall will not allow powerful dead to roam freely outside. Whether it's a ghost, a zombie, or a spirit, once the city hall discovers it, it will either be recruited or dealt with."

"But cemeteries are different. As long as you follow the cemetery rules, even the most powerful deceased can enjoy a certain degree of freedom. So think about it, what do these powerful deceased have in common?"

The ox and the horse asked.

"Uh, paranoia?"

Liu Zheng thought for a moment and then answered.

"That's right. Only those with strong enough willpower and obsessive enough thinking can continue to exist after death."

"Therefore, the more powerful and longer-existing the dead are, the more paranoid their thinking becomes."

The ox and horse nodded.

“Even if they weren’t so paranoid at first, they would become more and more paranoid under the constant influence of the cemetery environment.”

"Then how do we deal with them?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"It's simple, just kill them again."

"Boss, don't forget that you also have a share of the inheritance."

he said with a sigh.

If you can't come up with ideas, don't offer them; just condemn them all again.

If these dead were easy to deal with, would the city hall be so strict?

Liu Zheng suddenly thought of Red Ghost; that guy should be considered dead now, right?

I wonder what level it is considered in a cemetery.

It's a pity we can't get in touch with it, otherwise we might have been able to get some useful information.

"Then just like when you deliver food, cheat if you can, trade if you can, threaten if you can't trade, and if you can't threaten, then fight."

Niu Ma replied seriously.

"Hey bro, you didn't plant a camera on me, did you?"

Liu Zheng squinted and said.

Otherwise, why would she be so familiar with his delivery routine?

"You think I'm as twisted as you humans? Why would I need surveillance cameras? Delivery drivers who live long all do it this way."

The ox and horse rolled their eyes.

"I see."

It's true that excellent employees all think alike.

Although Liu Zheng has not yet received the title of "Outstanding Employee", given his contributions to the restaurant, it is not unreasonable for him to be a candidate for "Outstanding Employee".

Judging from the way Si Xue smiled at the "egg in the sewer," you could tell she was sure to make a big profit.

"Of course, there are ways to take shortcuts."

"The ox and horse said."

"What can I do?"

"In a cemetery, where there are graves, there are naturally people who want to sweep them. As long as you go there to sweep the graves, you can be protected by the cemetery's rules."
