Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

he asked cautiously.

"If it gets old, just add some tenderizing powder. Okay, get out of here, or I won't be able to take care of you later."

Si Xue suddenly frowned, then pressed her hand firmly against Xuehua's eyes.

A thin layer of icy mist covered her entire palm, like a silk glove.

"Boss, do you need my help?"

Liu Zheng asked politely.

"you?"

Si Xue gave him a half-smile.

"Let's talk about it when you become a legendary delivery driver."

She arched her foot and kicked Liu Zheng with an inside-curve shot.

"what?"

His eyes widened.

They actually wore them this time, and they were even safety shorts?

They even guard against their own employees; that's incredibly rude.

Liu Zheng flew into the elevator with the momentum and speed of a world-class goal (a football term), and then crashed into the wall.

The instant the elevator doors closed, he seemed to see the entire iceberg engulfed in flames.

"What kind of thing did the boss bring back? Is it a new cold storage for the kitchen?"

Liu Zheng muttered to himself.

"Boom!"

There was a loud bang.

The elevator suddenly rose just before reaching the bottom, then plummeted downwards, slamming down hard.

"Is it malfunctioning now?"

He was startled.

But then I thought it was unlikely; the equipment in a blood-soaked restaurant shouldn't break down so easily.

As if to confirm Liu Zheng's idea, the elevator doors opened normally.

"You're not getting revenge for the time I hit you earlier, are you?"

It suddenly occurred to him.

The elevator didn't speak, but the doors opened and closed quickly, as if urging him to get out.

"It's not like I wanted to smash you. If you're angry, go take it out on the boss. You're all so inhuman, trying to bully the weak and fear the strong like us humans."

Liu Zheng rolled his eyes.

The elevator doors suddenly closed and then quickly ascended, as if preparing to do it again.

"Come on, smash it as hard as you can. If you don't kill me, next time I'll throw shit in your hole and I won't miss a single crack."

He shouted.

With a sudden mechanical stop sound, the elevator came to a halt.

"That's right. We're all just working for a living. Let's be considerate of each other and not treat each other badly."

Liu Zheng said with satisfaction.

"I, Liu Zheng, have a decent reputation in the restaurant. If you need anything, just let me know, and I'll help you as long as the conditions are right. Having more friends means having more options, and you don't want to be isolated by the other staff in the restaurant, right?"

He said.

The delivery department boss, Niu Ma, is his boss; the kitchen manager, Bai Yu Ji, relies on him for supplies; the customer service manager, Britannia, relies on him for condolences; and Liu Zheng also has acquaintances among their subordinates.

Even drivers and Ghost Hands, who don't belong to the three major departments, are very familiar with him, and Tailor Spider will soon become familiar with him as well.

When Liu Zheng said he wanted to isolate the elevator, he wasn't just bluffing.

The elevator slowly descended, and then the elevator doors slowly opened.

"Well done."

He gave a compliment.

"See you next time, and hopefully next time I'll see you because my boss is going to reward me."

Liu Zheng turned and walked towards the delivery department's break room, leaving the elevator doors open for a long time, seemingly lost in thought.

"I am back."

He pushed open the door to the lounge and called out.

"How did you manage to come back alive?"

The ox and horse tilted their heads and looked at him.

"What are you saying? What are you saying? Does seeing the boss mean you have to die?"

"Of course others wouldn't, but has anything you've done ever been a good thing?"

"The ox and horse said."

"Good and bad are relative. Although I made a profit, the restaurant didn't lose money either."

"Heh. What does the boss want with you?"

The oxen and horses were too lazy to argue with him.

"It's all because of the bombing of 'Sunshine' pet shop."

"It's just blowing up a pet shop, why bother the owner?"

The ox and horse expressed disbelief.

"Oh, and by the way, they blew up the street next to it too, blasted through the ground, and almost blew into the sewers."

Liu Zheng said it casually.

"You weren't there to deliver takeout, you were there to wipe out entire families. No, even those who wipe out entire families aren't as ruthless as you. Most people only wipe out one family, you wiped out dozens."

The ox and horse sighed.

"It's not that exaggerated. Besides, the pet shop wasn't wiped out; they still have a breeding farm, right?"

He waved his hand and said.

"Are you still planning to take action against the farm?"

The cattle and horses stood in awe.

"If it's on my way, I'll do it; if not, I'll skip it."

Liu Zheng said.

What if the food delivery ends up there someday?

Now that you mention it, he needs to prepare some large bombs as backup.

"Alright, let's stop talking now, I have to go to the kitchen."

Liu Zheng said.

"The boss didn't tell me I was going to help in the kitchen?"

The ox and horse asked in confusion.

Whether it's a requirement from the boss or a private coordination between departments, it's impossible to bypass the department head.

"I'm not a kitchen helper, I'm an ingredient."

Liu Zheng sighed.

"Haha, serves him right."

The ox and horse were laughing happily.

Too lazy to bother with it, Liu Zheng simply tore off the deliveryman's uniform.

"What are you doing?"

"I need to talk to that spider, boss. Could you call it out for me?"

He said.

"Even the director of the city hall isn't as busy as you."

Niu Ma shook his head speechlessly, then took out his phone.

I caught a cold today because of the strong wind.

Chapter 174 To Win the Spider Girl's Heart, First Win Her Stomach

After Niu Ma got through, he didn't say anything and hung up the phone immediately.

After a while, a rustling sound began.

Liu Zheng did not look up this time, so as not to disturb or anger it.

He took out the copy of the boiled mealworms and placed it on the ground.

The creeping sound in the shadows stopped immediately. Liu Zheng could feel the tailor spider's burning gaze passing over his head and looking at the mealworm on the ground.

"It's alright, eat up, this is for you."

he said softly.

The tailor spider shuddered, but made no other move.

"If you're embarrassed, I'll close my eyes. Boss, you close your eyes too."

Liu Zheng said to the oxen and horses.

"So much trouble."

The ox and horse complained softly, but still closed their eyes.

He closed his eyes too.

A minute or two later, Liu Zheng felt something fall from the ceiling and land on the ground.

"The sound is quite loud; looks like you've been eating a lot lately."

He chuckled inwardly, but maintained a calm expression.

The tailor spider's feeding process was almost silent; Liu Zheng could only confirm that it was indeed eating by the sound of its saliva dripping onto the floor.

Five or six minutes later, he heard the sound of the thread taut.

Clearly, the tailor spider had finished eating and was preparing to leave.

"Please wait a moment."

Liu Zheng quickly replied.

He quietly opened his eyes through an almost invisible crack and glimpsed the tailor spider frozen on its own silk.

"I need your help with something. The driver wants a new uniform. Could you help me get one? The price is negotiable."

Liu Zheng said.

The tailor spider seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, yet also appeared somewhat troubled.

"The boiled mealworms you just had were a gift and weren't included in the price of the uniform. Feel free to name your terms or explain any difficulties you may have. Even if we don't make a deal, we can still be friendly."

He continued.

"Jiji."

The tailor spider finally spoke.

"Boss, what did it say?"

Liu Zheng asked.
