Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

"Then what do you want to do?"

"I just plan to boil you and my good-for-nothing underlings into a soup."

The woman looked at Liu Zheng and licked her lips.

Human flesh is already delicious, but black goat calves are even more nutritious, and half-human, half-black goat calves are an extremely rare and precious ingredient that is worth a fortune.

"impossible."

Liu Zheng resolutely refused.

He should have known better than to take a shower and just come in for a soak; he'd rather see if this old man could still stomach it.

"It's just making soup, it's not like you can't grow back."

Even if a black goat cub has never heard the gospel, being boiled is nothing to it.

"I don't trust you. Who knows if you'll secretly put hawthorn slices in the pressure cooker?"

Liu Zheng said bluntly.

People who frequently stew meat know that hawthorn contains lipase and hawthorn acid, which can promote the breakdown of meat fat and increase the activity of protein-degrading enzymes.

In short, adding hawthorn when stewing meat makes it tender faster.

Of course, some unscrupulous merchants will directly add nitrates, which have an even stronger effect.

If there's no saltpeter, you can urinate instead.

"That's not up to you."

The woman took a puff of her pipe and exhaled a puff of smoke.

"If you insist on doing this, I'll unleash the dogs."

Liu Zheng shook the teething stick.

"Hahaha."

The woman bent over laughing so hard that her yukata almost fell off.

The four seasoning enthusiasts kept their heads down, while Liu Zheng got a good look.

"Your trick works on others, but it doesn't work on me."

She said.

"Oh why?"

“Even if you summon the Tindaros Hound, I can still put it in a pot.”

The woman shook the soup pot in her hand.

Although it's not a perfect circle, the angle is greater than 120°.

"At most, I'll ruin a pot, but you'll lose your life."

"Didn't you just say you wouldn't kill me?"

Liu Zheng protested.

"That's only if you cooperated obediently. This pot is my treasure; you ruined it, so it's perfectly reasonable for me to seek compensation from you."

The woman's smile resembled that of a beautiful serpent.

"Then make a vow first."

"it is good."

The woman readily agreed.

"I, Guokou Tangzi, the fourth-generation leader of the Extreme Flavor Group, swear that I have no purpose for you other than cooking soup, and I will never kill you while cooking soup. If I break my oath, I will be arrested by the city hall and thrown into jail to suffer all kinds of torture."

"Just give it a try."

Liu Zheng smacked his lips.

"You're being so picky. I don't know what you're worried about. My little brothers are going to be boiled with you. If you die, they won't survive either."

"I only have four younger brothers, and I don't plan to become a lonely person."

Guo Kou Tangzi rolled his eyes.

"Who knows if you're planning to use someone else to do your dirty work?"

"If you keep talking nonsense, I might change my mind."

Guo Kou Tangzi glared at him.

"Tch. Hurry up, how do you cook it?"

"Just lie down."

"That's what Guo Kou Tangzi said."

Liu Zheng lay down in the water, half of himself submerged.

"Yes, just stay still. You four, get down and lie down too."

Guo Kou Tangzi scolded.

"Hey, boss."

The four seasoning enthusiasts quickly lay down in the hot spring.

"I'm really in for a treat today."

Guo Kou Tangzi walked to the edge of the hot spring pool with a big smile, squatted down and tapped his pipe.

A spark fell from the pipe and landed in the pool.

In an instant, the entire hot spring pool began to boil.

Chapter 170 What good is being able to fight if you're already out there fighting?

"Hot?"

Liu Zheng was about to shout when he realized it wasn't actually that bad.

The crustacean-like substance on his skin had a pretty good heat insulation effect; although it was still very hot, it was about the same as the temperature when taking a hot shower at its highest setting.

"I already said it's nothing. You're a deliveryman for Bloody Restaurant, how can you be so cowardly?"

Guo Kou Tangzi said disdainfully.

"The bolder ones have already become former food delivery drivers."

Liu Zheng retorted sharply.

As the hot spring slowly heats up, the culinary expertise of the four seasoning enthusiasts is gradually revealed.

The aromas of scallions, ginger, and garlic blended into the water, spread to the surface, and entered his nostrils.

Liu Zheng also felt something slowly seeping out of him, a putrid smell of plants spreading out, which was then neutralized by the smell of scallions, ginger and garlic, turning into the fragrance of grass.

At the same time, he felt his skin getting hotter and hotter, and even his carapace couldn't keep it warm anymore.

"Hey, did you secretly increase the pressure?"

he questioned.

"Bullshit! Our oaths are more precious than your human lives. If you dare to insult my dignity again, I will surely behead you."

Guo Kou Tangzi said angrily.

"Then why do I feel like I'm getting hotter and hotter?"

Liu Zheng raised one hand, and his entire arm turned red.

"Idiot, it's spicy, not hot."

Guo Kou Tangzi rolled his eyes.

"Spicy?"

He scooped up the hot spring water with some skepticism and took a sip.

"Sigh~"

Liu Zheng stuck out his tongue.

It really is spicy, and unlike the hellish hot soup of Oinke, it's a very fresh kind of spiciness, like directly biting into a two-inch chili pepper tree.

Not to mention, it tastes really good.

How long should it be stewed?

he asked.

"At least six points."

Guo Kou Tangzi thought for a moment and then said.

"I'd be soaking in this for six minutes and it'd be like a lamb stew with bread."

Liu Zheng remained silent.

"Then I'll use a pressure cooker, it only takes two hours."

"Fine then. Find me something to have fun, just soaking here is too boring."

He said.

"So many demands, just wait."

Guokou Tangzi didn't want to talk to him at first, but she was worried that his bad mood would affect the quality of the soup, so she agreed anyway.

"Big brother, you're amazing. This is the first time someone has dared to make a request of the boss."

After Guo Kou Tangzi left, Da Cong Tou secretly raised his head and said.

"That's right, don't you know who I am? Even if it's a sewer, it has to do whatever I tell it to do."

Liu Zheng said smugly.

"If you're so capable, why did you agree to be cooked by the boss?"

"I can't believe it," Garlic asked.

"That's because I practice kung fu that leads to mutual destruction, and your boss isn't worthy of it."

He said proudly.

"You are a truly majestic man."

Ginger Head said admiringly, and even Chili Head cast a look of admiration.

"Besides, if I can subdue all of you, why can't I subdue your leader?"

Liu Zheng said.

He couldn't handle Nightingale and the Sea Woman, and the Vampire Girl's strength had greatly decreased, not to mention that her own strength was only average. He really lacked reliable helpers.

After all, he only has so much free time, and he can't always have people order takeout with excessively long delivery times.

This "Extreme Flavor" set seems like a pretty suitable choice.

Liu Zheng doesn't need them to help fight; they're fine with doing odd jobs like gathering information or running errands.

Following this line of thought, his ideas gradually became clearer.

“That’s not easy.”

The chili pepper finally spoke.

"Many people have tried to take advantage of the boss, but in the end they were all boiled into broth by her."

"If I manage to convince your boss, what are you going to do?"

Liu Zheng asked.

The four seasoning enthusiasts exchanged glances.

"If the boss is willing, we can recognize you as our leader. But you have to promise not to bully the boss."

"Chili Head said."
