Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

"You talk too much."

4399 glared at him.

"Haha, sorry, sorry, I got a little carried away with my excitement. Sigh, brother, you have no idea, my wife just gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, and I was so worried that I was losing hair night after night. With the reward from this mission, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief."

8848 sighed.

The Border Management Bureau's salary is relatively high compared to other departments in the city hall, but even the highest salary can't last forever.

The human staff of the city hall tend to stick together, resulting in a lot of interpersonal interactions and spending money like water.

But if you don't participate, you'll be isolated, and then you'll be close to death.

"I only did a little bit of smiling work; it's mainly thanks to your own efforts, Brother 8848."

Liu Zheng said modestly.

"Hmm, hmm? Something sounds a little off?"

8848 was stunned for a moment.

"Get in the car."

4399 couldn't stand it anymore, so he opened the car door and pushed the two idiots into the car.

"Brothers, with my mission completion rate, the city hall should help me resolve any problems I encounter after I return, right?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Don't worry, no matter how powerful the peacock is, it's impossible for it to go against the entire city hall."

Once inside the car, 8848 spoke more freely.

"And Mr. Li."

he reminded.

"That's alright. Remember, there's only one sky above the metropolis, and that's City Hall."

8848 pointed to the roof of the car and said.

"Then I'll feel at ease."

Liu Zheng laughed.

He still believed what 8848 said.

After all, the Border Management Bureau, which has the authority to travel between different worlds, is just a department of the city hall.

Even the notorious Bloody Restaurant has to go through the Border Management Agency's channels when it goes out to make purchases.

He and Peacock didn't have any irreconcilable hatred; he had only made the other party lose face a little. The city hall should still be able to protect him.

"It's okay. If anything happens, just call me or 4399."

8848 said.

"okay."

Liu Zheng understood that when this call was made, it would be the time for them to settle their debts of gratitude.

"He just gave me two temporary worker positions. If you want to come, contact me. No matter how far the peacock's reach is, it can't extend to the border control agency."

4399 opened the door.

"The restaurant probably won't let them go, right?"

"You can just run away while you're delivering food. At worst, you won't have to go back to the city. Anyway, most of the time our workplace is outside the city. There are actually a lot of fun places out there. I'll take you to see them when you come."

8848 winked at him with a lewd grin.

"Hey hey hey."

Liu Zheng laughed along, but he didn't agree in his heart.

The restaurant might let him go out of respect for the city hall, but that old hag Si Xue definitely won't let him go.

"arrive."

4399 suddenly said.

Liu Zheng and the calico cat got out of the car; the Bloody Restaurant was not far away.

"Finally home."

He couldn't help but sigh.

Although he only stayed in Atlanta for a day, it felt like more than a month had passed.

Just like at the Bloody Restaurant, the schedule was too tight.

"Liu Zheng, come here."

The car window rolled down, and 8848 called him over.

"What's wrong, Brother 8848?"

Liu Zheng asked.

“This is from 4399. Wear it when you shop at larger stores, and you’ll get some discounts, more or less. Of course, the black market is an exception.”

8848 handed him a silver medal.

The diamond-shaped medal is engraved with the image of an unknown plant.

"This is proof of the family member of an outstanding employee of the city hall."

8848 explained.

"Ah, is it really appropriate for me to take this? I'd better leave it for Brother 4399's family to use."

Liu Zheng declined.

"Take it, there's no one left in my house."

4399 said calmly.

"Okay."

Since he had said that, Liu Zheng had no choice but to accept it.

"This is a thank-you gift for those two temporary worker positions; the bonus for the procurement task will be calculated separately."

4399 added.

“You can’t go wrong with 4399’s recommendations. He’s a well-known honest guy in the Border Management Bureau. If you follow me, I might sell you for money. But if you follow him, he’ll tell you in advance if he’s going to sell you.”

8848 chuckled.

"That's really quite generous."

Liu Zheng twitched the corner of his mouth.

"gone."

The car window rolled up, and the black official vehicle sped away.

"Salmon, I'll give you the City Hall mission reward separately."

He took the calico cat off its head and then pursed its chin.

"It's okay, meow, just buy me more dried fish, meow~"

The calico cat squinted its eyes and wagged its tail as it spoke.

"Okay, is one ton enough?"

Liu Zheng said with a smile.

"One ton is too much, meow! I'll get fat, meow! I'll become a big fat pig, meow~"

The calico cat was initially happy, but then became troubled.

"Don't worry, salmon is such a cute little cat, it won't get fat no matter how much you eat."

He comforted.

"Really, meow?"

The calico cat exclaimed in delight.

"Don't hurt other people's cats, you bastard!"

A human face appeared on its back and spoke menacingly to Liu Zheng.

"Haha, let's go, Napoleon is probably getting impatient."

Liu Zheng gave an awkward smile and then walked towards the kitchen passageway.

Chapter 321 You wouldn't want Liu Zheng to sleep with someone else, would you?

"Head chef, I'm home, meow~"

The calico cat greeted everyone and then easily found its cat bed, where it lay down.

"You're back so soon? Did you finish the procurement task?"

Napoleon smiled, a rare occurrence for him.

"It's basically all done, and we even brought in some more local specialties."

Liu Zheng laughed.

"You human didn't die out there? It seems the area outside the border is still too safe."

Napoleon's smile vanished instantly.

"I don't know, maybe I'm just lucky. Besides, if I hadn't come back, where would you have gotten the ingredients to cook, Chef?"

He answered with ease.

"Hmph. I don't know if Niu Ma is lucky or unlucky to have taken in a lackey like you."

Seeing that his reply was watertight, Napoleon could only sarcastically remark.

To be honest, it genuinely believed that Liu Zheng would never come back.

It's not because it's dangerous outside, but because it's too safe.

Especially for someone like Liu Zheng who has gotten himself into a lot of trouble, going back to the metropolis would be no different from courting death.

The opportunity presented by the sudden notification from the city hall was clearly something that Niu Ma or Liu Zheng had fought for themselves.

If Liu Zheng doesn't return, the city hall will definitely send someone to investigate.

Even if it has nothing to do with cattle or horses, it will still get a beating.

That's why Napoleon said the oxen and horses were lucky to receive such rare underlings.

But this is also where the cattle and horses are unlucky, because they shouldn't have to bear this risk in the first place.

"Give me the butcher's knife and the portable cold storage."

Napoleon suddenly became a little angry and said with a cold face.

"Oh."

Although Liu Zheng didn't know what was wrong with it, he obediently offered the food.

"Wait here."

Napoleon put the sword back on the rack, then took the portable refrigeration unit and went into the refrigeration room.

"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry."

He shrugged.

He was still waiting for Napoleon to pay him additional compensation, and he could also pet cats here.

Back in Atlanta, the calico cat was mostly hidden in the shadows, so Liu Zheng didn't get to pet it much.

"Hehehe, Xiu Miaomi."

While the calico cat was asleep, he frantically pinched its cheeks.

As a female cat, the calico cat has an exceptionally well-developed jawline, and it feels incredibly soft to the touch.
