Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

Although he had no obligation to help the residents of Atlantis execute criminals, since the locals were paying him to do so, he didn't mind working part-time as an executioner.

"Then, farewell, stranger."

Muro gave a sad smile and then waved his arm.

Liu Zheng was grabbed by an invisible force and flew rapidly toward the dome.

Just before he was about to disappear into the mist, he saw a huge, pale moon rise from the deep sea, but its edges were already tinged with red.

When the fog cleared, Liu Zheng had already returned to the observatory.

"Congratulations, young man, you have taken the first step in this great feat."

Albert said to him.

"The next step is cross-dressing, right?"

Liu Zheng squinted and said.

He looked up at the sky, where even the pale moon was tinged with a rosy hue.

"Women's clothing? That's unnecessary. Once the gender becomes female, clothing is just an accessory."

Albert shook his head.

"Then why not just wear women's clothing? How long until the blood moon arrives?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Anytime. It could be the next second, or it could be a day later. However, if you become a woman, the Moon Demon will immediately come down and seduce you."

Whether it was his imagination or not, there seemed to be a hint of a smile in Albert's tone.

"Pah, Puxin lesbians, they're really shameless."

He made a gagging motion.

"If Calculus Academy were to offer acting classes, I would definitely hire you as a professor. Alright, let's move on to the next step."

Albert slightly raised his arm, and the pale little man popped out of his sleeve and made a face at Liu Zheng.

Liu Zheng smiled and flicked its forehead, which startled it, causing it to shrink back into its sleeve.

"You're already a powerful figure who has killed two superiors, so don't frighten this poor little guy anymore."

Albert said helplessly.

"what is it?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"It is a messenger, a creature of mysterious origin. The Tomel people believe they are a kindred spirit, but they cannot determine which superior they belong to. Messengers do not attack others, at most they may play some pranks such as theft. But the things they steal are all extraordinary, so to mortals, messengers are basically harmless."

Albert said.

"That's it, forget it."

He originally thought the little guy was quite fun and even considered getting one as a pet.

But Albert said it was also a family, so let's forget about it.

Keeping a member of your family by your side is like having a surveillance camera and a time bomb on your person; that's not the way to do something so reckless.

"Give him the things."

Albert swung his arm.

The messenger crawled out again, then trotted to Liu Zheng's feet, put down a small bottle, stomped on his foot angrily, and then ran back into Albert's sleeve.

"Hey, you just said it won't attack people."

Liu Zheng shouted.

"Stop joking, young man. Are you sure that counts as an attack?"

Albert remained silent.

"Tch, it's because of owners like you that so many people hate being pampered."

He pursed his lips, bent down, and picked up the small bottle.

The transparent bottle contained half a bottle of red liquid.

Name: Gender-changing potion (red)

Type: Item

Quality: Excellent

"Effect: After use, the player's biological sex will change to the opposite sex for one hour."

"Note: You're awake! The surgery was a success. You're now a lovely (handsome) girl (boy)."

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

Wow, not only can men transform into women, but women can also transform into men, right? The Atlanteans are really something else.

"This is only part of it. If you drink the blue potion, you can become a woman permanently."

Albert said.

"unnecessary."

Liu Zheng resolutely refused.

"Okay, if you insist."

Albert was somewhat disappointed, but there was nothing he could do.

After all, he didn't have any coercive means against a powerful figure who could easily hunt down two superiors.

"By the way, don't you need to pay a deposit first?"

Liu Zheng said in a loud and boisterous manner.

"Of course, your men have already gotten what you wanted."

Albert seemed to have a complete grasp on everything that happened at the academy.

"I don't believe it unless I confirm it myself."

"Alright. Then I will wait here for your return."

Albert raised his cane, and white mist rose from the other side of the observatory.

"Aren't you afraid I'll just quit and leave?"

He raised his eyebrows.

“I believe you. And ever since you killed Muro, the Moon Demon will not let you leave.”

A triumphant smile spread across Albert's aged face.

"As expected, you scholars are still the most cunning."

Liu Zheng shrugged, seemingly not very angry.

Even as he passed Albert and his rocking chair, Liu Zheng massaged his shoulders, showing respect for the elderly and care for the young.

"Old man, you still dare to scheme against me even when you're about to die. I'll see how many gold coins you can drop for me later."

However, as he stepped into the white mist, a cold smile appeared on his lips.

Chapter 317 Why are you acting so pretentious?

"Boss~"

As soon as they returned to the courtyard, Xia Kai pounced on them with a fawning expression.

"You little rascal, what's wrong with you? You're acting like you've taken some kind of aphrodisia

Liu Zheng pushed him away a little with disdain.

"Hehe, because it's a bumper harvest. Look."

Xia Kai took out four items: a rune, a fake eye, a pistol, and a bottle of potion.

Liu Zheng took them all, and descriptions of the items popped up one by one.

Name: Bloodlust Rune

Type: Equipment

Quality: Excellent

"Effect: When a heavy blow is dealt to the target's internal organs, a small amount of health can be restored."

"Note: Please don't ask me questions like whether intestines count as internal organs!"

Name: Secret-Seeking Fake Eye

Type: Equipment

Quality: Excellent

"Effect: Increases perception by 2 points, with a chance to see through hidden objects on the surface."

"Note: What is this? Let me try pressing it."

Name: Fine Hunter's Handgun

Type: Equipment

Quality: Excellent

"Effect: After every three shots, the power of the next shot increases by 20%."

"Note: Is this the reason you missed your first three shots?"

Name: Enlightenment Potion

Type: Item

Quality: Excellent

"Effect: After use, the player's perception and spirit are increased by 5 points, lasting for 10 minutes."

"Note: I'm giving you this to use for writing your thesis, not for having an im-party!"

"It's truly a bumper harvest."

He nodded.

Although all four are excellent-grade items, three of them are equipment, and their effects are quite practical, which is pretty good.

"Pick one for yourself."

Liu Zheng said.

If it weren't for Xia Kai, the others probably wouldn't have paid any attention to these things.

"Can I have this pistol?"

Xia Kai asked cautiously.

From a practical standpoint, this pistol is definitely the most valuable.

The effect of "increased power of the next shot by 20%" can have a synergistic effect when combined with some special bullets, where 1+1 is greater than 2.

Moreover, he did indeed lack a good weapon.

Not to mention, it's a ranged weapon, which suits his timid personality perfectly.

"can."

Liu Zheng nodded.

It's just an excellent-level weapon; he doesn't lack ranged weapons either.

If you really want it, just talk to Amelia or Beethoven, and I bet they'll give it to you.

"Thanks, boss, hehe."

Xia Kai's face was beaming with joy.

"It's just a piece of high-quality equipment, is it really that big of a deal?"
