Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

"100 point."

"Haha, one-tenth is good, not bad."

Liu Zheng comforted him.

"The second highest is 10 o'clock."

The ox and horse said expressionlessly.

"The odds of winning are quite reasonable."

He said politely.

"But you've always had good luck, you should definitely give it a try."

Niu Ma looked at the clown makeup still on his face and said.

With such a knack for causing trouble, they would have been dead long ago if they hadn't been lucky.

What's the best prize you can redeem?

Liu Zheng asked curiously.

"A meal."

"The ox and horse said."

What kind of food?

"It's not the meal itself that matters, but who you eat it with."

"The ox and horse said."

"Who?"

"Speaker of the Supreme Council."

Niu Ma said, enunciating each word clearly.

"Sigh~"

Liu Zheng gasped.

"How many points do I need?"

he asked.

"One hundred million."

"Only one hundred million?"

Liu Zheng asked in surprise.

This is the Supreme Speaker, the person standing at the very top of the Metropolitan Power Pyramid. People like Si Xue, Mr. Li, and Kong Que are probably just like ordinary people in front of the Supreme Speaker.

"It's only 100 million. The highest prize I've heard of from scratching is only 1 million. And the welfare points are non-transferable and are reset every ten years. That means you have to win this kind of big prize ten times a year, which is about once a month."

Do you still think it's not enough?

Niu Ma sneered.

"With so many extraordinary people in the metropolis, surely someone has a way of winning the lottery all the time?"

Liu Zheng was not intimidated.

Fishermen have black koi fish, which can boost luck, so other strange residents must have them too.

"Of course there are. But that's exactly what the city hall aims to achieve."

"The ox and horse said."

"How to say?"

Why do you think the city hall allows non-citizens to redeem welfare points?

The ox and horse countered with a question.

"To alleviate tensions, to give the lower classes a false hope?"

He thought for a moment and said.

"That's part of the reason. Another reason is to lure those 'unstable' non-citizens into a trap."

"Because the ability to consistently win big prizes is often disordered or disordered."

"The ox and horse said."

"I see."

Liu Zheng nodded.

It does fit the style of a metropolis.

The fact that such a large and complex city has managed to maintain its current state of disorder without chaos speaks volumes about the city hall's skill.

It's just unclear whether the Speaker of the Supreme Council is a policy maker with exceptional intelligence or a policy defender with unparalleled military might.

Or perhaps, both.

"So don't even think about the top prize, even if you actually win the grand prize."

Niu Ma hesitated for a moment, then continued.

"Please help me exchange for a box of eugenic drugs."

"Okay."

Liu Zheng nodded.

"You didn't even ask what this is for, or how many bonus points it costs?"

His quick agreement made the cattle and horses feel somewhat uneasy.

"You're my boss, isn't it only right that I give you a gift? Why are you asking?"

Liu Zheng said nonchalantly.

"That's something you take before trying to conceive; it can increase the chances of passing the 'birth test' in your next pregnancy."

The white-feathered rooster suddenly interjected.

"Looks like you've been in contact with something 'dirty'."

It looked at the cattle and horses with a half-smile.

"It's like you've never touched it."

The ox and horse rolled their eyes.

"I don't plan to have children."

"You think you're so great, so high and mighty, fine."

The ox and horse gave a perfunctory reply.

"You're too greedy, you oxen and horses."

The white-feathered pheasant shook its head.

"Even if you become the head of a department, family is too much of a luxury for employees of a bloody restaurant."

"Mind your own business. Is there anything else? If not, go back to your kitchen."

The cattle and horses started herding the chickens.

"hehe."

The white-feathered chicken picked up the soup pot and left the rest room.

"Boss, if you really want that eugenic drug, I can get you another black koi fish."

After it left, Liu Zheng spoke up.

"However, you'll have to bear the side effects for me."

"forget it."

The ox and horse rolled their eyes.

"Last time it nearly killed me, if it happens again I'll only be able to give birth to a child after my death."

"That's fine."

He was only expressing his gratitude; since neither the cow nor the horse wanted it, he let it go.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Given the karma Liu Zheng is currently entangled in, if his luck drops to 0, he doesn't even dare to imagine what kind of calamity he might encounter.

It's possible that the deity corresponding to that gospel might even descend directly upon the metropolis.

Or you could order takeout directly to the Chaos Club.

Just as Liu was lost in thought, Niu Ma's phone rang again.

"I've become your switchboard operator."

It couldn't help but complain.

But after glancing at the number, his expression immediately became respectful.

"Boss, what are your orders?"

"Okay, okay, I'll pass it on to him."

After hanging up the phone, Niu Ma raised an eyebrow at Liu Zheng.

"I knew the boss would be happy."

Chapter 213 Bad News: The Boss Isn't Wearing Anymore

"Does the boss sound happy?"

"Anyway, I didn't hear any unhappiness in your voice."

Niu Ma shrugged.

If there is no unhappiness, then there is happiness.

"Okay. So, does the boss mean I should go there now?"

"Yes."

The ox and horse nodded.

Liu Zheng glanced at the time; there were still two hours until his appointment with the novelist, so he should have enough time.

Even if it's too late, he still has to go.

"Eat something to calm your nerves first."

He took out the copied sesame tofu, ate it in one bite, and then left the lounge.

I took the elevator to Si Xue's office, which had a new look.

The once fiery lava ocean has been transformed into a lush green grassland.

Above the cave hangs a huge, luminous sphere, shining like the sun in all directions.

Si Xue, dressed in a pure white linen dress, leaned against a giant deer.

Everything seemed so peaceful and serene, if it weren't for the blood constantly gushing from the headless neck of the giant deer.

"come over."

She lazily waved to Liu Zheng.

He swallowed hard and stepped onto the grassland.

The grass beneath his feet immediately grew wildly, gathering into a green horse that lifted him up and galloped towards Si Xue.

When it was still dozens of meters away from her, the green horse let out a neigh like a long wind blowing across the grassland, and then thrust upwards with force.

Liu Zheng flew through the air in an arc before crashing down in front of Si Xue.

Fortunately, the grass was very soft, just like a young girl's toes.

Have you smelled enough?
