Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

Page 222

It spotted the wine box on the ground immediately, pounced on it in a flash, and then stared longingly at Liu Zheng.

Liu Zheng remained unmoved. He still vividly remembered the time the dog had acted drunk and disorderly last time, so how could he possibly give it alcohol again?

Besides, this is also for the good of Ghost Hand.

Si Xue was clearly in a bad mood today. If Ghost Hand were to offend her again, he might just throw her into lava and cremate her.

He lifted the ghost hand off the wine box and took out a few dried fish from the system space.

Forget about drinking alcohol, let's just have some dried fish to satisfy our cravings.

Ghost Hand glanced longingly at the wine box, then grew a mouth and swallowed the dried fish.

Liu Zheng picked up the takeout order that had fallen to the ground.

"Meal: One Whole Insect Feast"

Address: Room 403, Block E, Xihe Center.

"Orderer: Manager Wang"

Time limit: Two hours.

Same address, same customer.

After thinking about it, he was a little curious. The previous Manager Wang was a giant isopod, so what kind of insect did Wang Manni become?

"Let's go, boss."

"Don't forget my magazine."

The ox and horse reminded him.

"Oh."

Liu Zheng exited the delivery lane and opened the food container on the food cart.

A huge green worm appeared in front of him.

It has huge horns on its head and looks like a beetle, but it also has many characteristics of other insects.

Its body doesn't resemble normal flesh and blood; it's more like metallic plastic.

Name: Whole Insect Feast

Type: Item

Quality: Excellent

"Effect: Temporarily increases all attributes by 20 points after use, lasting for two minutes or until severe damage is suffered."

"Note: It's just a pile of shit, but if it's rare enough, it can sell for an astronomical price."

"Can it be taken out of the instance: Yes"

What a good thing.

Liu Zheng's mouth watered at the sight of the whole insect feast.

Although it's only a temporary boost, the increase in numbers is significant.

With an additional 20 points to all attributes, he felt that beating up a sea woman wouldn't be a problem.

Unfortunately, this is a quest item.

"Ugh."

Liu Zheng regretfully put it into the delivery box and then walked into the delivery lane.

After leaving the restaurant, he headed straight for the newsstand that Niu Ma had mentioned.

After walking about 500 meters, he indeed saw a green newsstand.

The pavilion looks like an old-fashioned newsstand, square and upright.

However, it is quite large, probably the size of three or four security booths.

Unlike in real life, this newsstand didn't have its stall set up outside, and the window wasn't open, making it appear as if it wasn't open for business yet.

Fortunately, when Liu Zheng got to the newsstand, he found someone inside, though they were sleeping.

"Hello."

He tapped lightly on the windowpane.

The newsstand owner removed the newspaper from his face.

Liu Zheng glanced at the contents of the newspaper and found that all the characters were garbled and even the pictures were blurry.

He then looked at the other newspapers and magazines at the newsstand and found that the situation was the same.

He knew this was a way to prevent freeloading.

But to prevent freebies from even showing the cover, isn't that a bit outrageous?

"what are you looking for?"

The shop owner's voice drew Liu Zheng's attention back.

"I want to buy some erotic magazines."

He looked at the shop owner and said.

The shop owner looked like a greasy middle-aged man, with sparse hair that hadn't been washed in a long time, puffy and sagging eye bags, and eyes full of bloodshot veins and dark spots.

Wearing a black leather jacket in such hot weather, he looks incredibly weak.

"Not for sale."

The shop owner flatly and decisively rejected him.

This was exactly what Liu Zheng had expected.

"I bought it for cattle and horses."

he emphasized.

Which cow or horse?

The shop owner countered with a question.

"Uh, the cattle and horses of the Bloody Restaurant's takeout department."

Liu Zheng had a bad feeling.

"You bastard, you dare to come here?!"

The shop owner flew into a rage, grabbed a double-barreled shotgun from under the table, and pointed it at his head.

Chapter 181 Actually, I am also a victim of cattle and horses.

"Shop owner, before you shoot me, can you at least tell me what Niu Ma did to you?"

Liu Zheng asked calmly.

"You don't seem very scared."

The shop owner said coldly.

"Anyone who becomes a delivery driver for a bloody restaurant would have committed suicide long ago if they weren't brave enough."

He shrugged.

"Hmph, that bastard wrote comments in my porn magazine and even doodled on all the ones he thought were ugly!"

The shop owner said excitedly, his hand holding the double-barreled shotgun twitching slightly.

"Uh"

Liu Zheng didn't know what to say; it sounded like something an animal would do.

No wonder it was so generous, not even asking for a kickback; it turns out it wanted him to help it avoid potential problems.

"Son of a bitch!"

He couldn't help but curse.

"Hmm, what did it do to you too?"

The shop owner paused for a moment and asked.

"The disgusting things it did to me are too numerous to count. Why don't you put down the gun, shopkeeper, and let me tell you the whole story slowly?"

Liu Zheng suddenly had a brilliant idea.

"You tell me first."

The shop owner remained unmoved; in fact, his hand holding the gun became even steadyer.

"whispering sound."

These old guys are definitely no pushovers.

"It broke several of my ribs."

Liu Zheng thought for a moment and then said.

"go on."

The shop owner nodded.

“Every time I ask him to buy something for me, he takes a kickback.”

"Even when I went out to engage in tomb raiding, they still wanted a share of the profits without participating at all."

“Last time I went to the black market, I sold my ‘meat’ to get money, and I won the gambling because of my skills, but they took away most of it.”

He listed all the sins of the cattle and horses, except for those that might have violated the rules, and spoke for a full three minutes.

"That bastard is even more ruthless to his own men than to outsiders."

The shop owner's contempt for cattle and horses deepened to another level.

"That's not the most shameless thing. The most shameless thing is that it also uses PUA. After doing something extremely immoral, it will use small favors to PUA you, making you feel that it is not so bad."

Liu Zheng said with deep resentment.

"You bastard, next time I see it, I won't give it a chance to speak, I'll just blow its head off."

The shop owner said menacingly.

"Yes, yes, whatever you do, don't let it speak. It's a master of deception."

He nodded vigorously.

"Since you were also scammed by it, I'll let it go this time. You can leave now."

The shop owner glanced at him and lowered the gun.

"About buying erotic magazines."

Liu Zheng asked tentatively.

"Don't even think about it! I'd rather burn all those magazines than sell them to cattle or horses."

The shop owner suddenly raised his voice.

"Get out of here, or I'll shoot."
