Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

Yourseñar looked at him with fear.

Her lifelong goal was to become a leader, and Liu Zheng killed a leader right in front of her, and the process was so easy, like killing an animal.

Even though it was just a secondary superior, it still gave her the creeps.

Is the person in front of me really human?

"Shouldn't those in positions of power be the same as gods? As gods, don't they have souls or avatars?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"I don't know. My research hasn't gone that far yet."

Yusena said honestly.

"alright."

He shrugged.

It doesn't matter if it has a soul, since true damage works on spirits too.

He stared at Amirola's head for a moment, then put the whole thing into the portable freezer.

Liu Zheng originally only wanted the eyes, but then he thought that since its brain was also full of eyes, the size difference wouldn't be much.

After carefully collecting Amirola's head, he dissected its entire body and found a crescent-shaped blood gem at its tail.

"It's just super large."

Liu Zheng pursed his lips.

He's supposed to be in a high position, yet he's revealing the same things as Dickins—it's so disrespectful.

"Gurgle~"

A faint sound came from beneath him.

Liu Zheng looked down and saw a strange-looking little creature struggling to crawl out of the soil.

It was only as tall as a palm and looked pale and deformed.

Its thin arms were only as thick as fingers, making it powerless to break free from the soil's embrace.

"Gurgle~"

It looked up at Liu Zheng and called out again.

"You want me to help you?"

he asked tentatively.

"Gurgle!"

The pale little man nodded.

Liu Zheng hesitated for a moment, then reached out his tentacle and pulled it out.

The pale little man patted the dirt off his body and then crawled up his hoof to his ear.

Liu Zheng did not react, but remained on guard.

"Young stranger, please come to the observatory for a while."

An old voice rang in his ear.

"who are you?"

he asked.

Without any reply, the pale little man jumped off Liu Zheng's shoulder after saying that, and then fell face-first into the dirt.

"Chi chi chi chi!"

This seemed to have hurt it, and the pale little man cried sadly, wiping away his tears with his little hands.

"Hey, it wasn't me who fell."

Seeing the strange looks from everyone, Liu Zheng tried to explain himself.

"Hey, stop crying, or I'll curse you."

He then threatened the pale little man.

Hearing his words, the pale little man cried even louder.

"Your uncle's."

Liu Zheng was speechless.

He was ruthless towards his enemies, but he really had no way to deal with this little thing that posed no threat and was rather ugly-cute.

You can't just turn someone into food because you think they're noisy, can you?

Besides, with that size, it's not even big enough to stir-fry a dish.

"Tell me, what do you want in order for me to stop crying?"

He asked helplessly.

"Gurgle~"

The pale little man wiped away his tears and pointed to the enormous blood gem in his hand.

"So that's what you were waiting for me to do. No way."

Liu Zheng said.

He wouldn't be so generous as to feed other people's pets.

"Gurgle!"

The pale little man raised his voice.

"If it's hopeless, it's hopeless. If you keep arguing, I'll plant you in a pile of shit."

Liu Zheng threatened.

"Gurgle?"

The pale little man looked puzzled, as if asking where the pile of excrement came from.

“No, I’ll make him poop right now. Don’t say I didn’t warn you, he’s been constipated for over a month, so what he poops out will definitely be hard and smelly.”

He pointed at Xia Kai and said fiercely.

Xia Kai blinked innocently, then silently admitted it.

"Gurgle!"

The pale little man was so frightened that he stopped crying.

It thought for a moment, then burrowed back underground and soon emerged carrying a blood gem.

This blood gem is small, but there is a blood-like liquid flowing inside.

"Gurgle~"

The pale little man pointed to its gemstone, then to Liu Zheng's.

"You want to trade this with me?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Gurgle~"

The pale little man nodded.

He took the small blood gem and looked at the item description.

Name: Unformed Blood Gem

Type: Item

Quality: Excellent

"Effect: Resets the effect of the Blood Gem socketed in the weapon once after use."

"Note: Reset skill points, how do you say 'reset skill points'?"

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

"Good stuff."

With this, he dared to gamble with the crescent-shaped blood gem.

Liu Zheng was satisfied, but he didn't show it on his face.

"I can trade, but this isn't enough to get a super-large blood gem. I can only trade this for you at most."

He took out a small blood gem.

"Gurgle~"

The pale little man made a face at him, seemingly looking down on his exorbitant demands.

"Then this should be okay, right?"

Liu Zheng then took out a medium-sized Blood Gem.

Then I got another funny face.

"This is it, I won't change it if there are any more."

He gritted his teeth and took out a large blood gem.

The pale little man hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"Very good, happy transaction."

Liu Zheng smiled and handed it the large blood gem.

"Gurgle!"

The pale little man cheered and then began to gnaw on the Blood Gem.

Soon, it chewed up the hard blood gem and swallowed it, and its little belly swelled up.

"Boss, why not just do it directly?"

While it was eating, Xia Kai secretly made a throat-slitting gesture.

"Why didn't I kill you when I saw you?"

Liu Zheng countered with a question.

"Because you are kind-hearted, sir."

Xia Kai quickly offered his flattery.

"Say something useful."

"Because player mode is normal mode, you won't get any reward if you kill me."

Xia Kai's expression turned serious.

"Then I can arrest you and torture you severely to force you to hand over all your belongings."

He shook his head.

"That's all because of your kindness."

Xia Kai scratched his head and said.

"That is indeed the reason."

Liu Zheng did not deny it.

After all, he was a person who embodied the four virtues, and his moral character must far exceed the average level in the metropolis.

"If you go to the Metropolis, remember to prioritize using communication to solve problems. Otherwise, you'll die very quickly."

Out of a sense of responsibility as a leader, he still shared some of his experience with Xia Kai.

"I'd rather not go to the Metropolitan than not go there."

Xia Kai smiled wryly.

He knew his own limitations; if he went to the Metropolis, he wouldn't survive more than three chapters.
