Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

"It's not that I'm unwilling to earn this money, but isn't my expertise a bit mismatched with yours? Although I'm already somewhat famous in the demolition and massacre world, my main job is still a food delivery driver."

"For this kind of job, you should go to the black market and find mercenaries and assassins."

He shrugged.

"You're really the most suitable person to do this, Zheng Jiang."

"Sumiko said."

"Oh why?"

"Our clan still needs to make a living in the bathhouse industry. Going to the black market or doing it ourselves would be a bit too much of a falling out. Besides, it was Qingzi who broke the rules in this matter, so it's not good for our reputation either."

Sumire explained.

"Then why am I the right fit?"

"First, Zhengjiang, you're not in our line of work. Even if they suspect us afterward, we can simply deny it."

"Secondly, our clan's abilities are all related to bathing. While we have an advantage in the bathhouse area, we are also vulnerable to being targeted. You, Masashi-chan, don't have this problem."

"Third, Masako, you have perfectly legitimate reasons to enter the bathhouse district, and even the place where Haruko is being held."

Sumireko explained each point one by one.

"You mean, you want me to deliver takeout to Qingzi?"

Liu Zheng understood the refined meaning from the music.

"That's right, Masako is really smart. No wonder he's the man I admire."

Sumire gave him a flying kiss.

"It tastes so good!"

Liu Zheng took the bowl of miso soup, then drank a big gulp.

"Disgusting~"

Jinzi rolled her eyes at him.

"The job sounds simple. But to be honest, I have a ton of things to do right now, and I really don't have time to take on such a big job."

He put down his bowl and said.

Moreover, his network of connections is all in the city, and there are too many uncontrollable factors if he goes outside the city.

"Of course I know you're busy, Masashi-chan. However, I've prepared a condition that you can't refuse."

Sumireko said confidently.

"Oh? Well, I'd like to hear it then."

Liu Zheng said with great interest.

"We went through a lot of trouble to get this."

Sumireko took a vacuum-sealed bag out of her yukata and threw it at him.

Liu Zheng stretched out his tentacles and detached the vacuum bag.

Upon opening it, I found a pair of yellowish boxer shorts inside, with a suspiciously sticky feel at the top.

"Ah~"

With a look of disgust, he took out the boxer shorts, and the item description immediately popped up.

"Name: The Legendary Deliveryman's Dirty Underwear (Disposable)"

Type: Equipment

Quality: Excellent

"Effect 1: All attributes increase by 3 after each excretion, lasting for one hour."

"Effect 2: Upon use, it is considered as adding 1 to the Legendary Deliveryman Set. There are no corresponding equipment effects, only partial set effects can be activated. It lasts for half an hour, after which the equipment will be automatically destroyed."

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

"Note: Peeing makes you feel refreshed, and defecating makes you feel relaxed."

Goodness, he just said "goodness" in a nutshell.

Liu Zheng looked at this item, which was full of flaws in every sense, and for a moment he didn't know what expression to make.

It's strong, it's definitely strong.

The "all attributes +3 after excretion" effect sounds a bit like a joke, but it's actually a very practical and easy-to-trigger effect.

The second effect becomes even more powerful after he has collected two legendary deliveryman sets.

This set of items, of such perfect quality, will definitely not be bad.

Even the most conservative estimate would elevate his strength to the level of a bull or horse.

At that time, whether it's going to a garbage disposal plant, the Chaos Club, or dealing with the Peacock's possible retaliation, the survival rate will be greatly improved.

Most importantly, he was also really curious about the effects of the Legendary Deliveryman Set.

"I'll take this job. You can tell me the details now."

Liu Zheng put away the legendary underwear and said with a serious expression.

Chapter 341 The sewers have quieted down

"The bathhouse where Haruko works is called Gokurakuyu."

The two chatted while eating.

"Gokurakuyu is the best bathhouse in the bathhouse district, and probably the best bathhouse in the entire metropolis."

"Its owner is called Granny Qian. She is the richest person in the bathhouse district. In addition to Gokurakuyu Bathhouse, she also owns more than a dozen bathhouses and restaurants."

"Of course, there are also rumors that she is not the real boss, but just managing on behalf of someone else."

"Sumiko said."

How strong is the security at Gokurakuyu?

Liu Zheng asked a crucial question.

"It's hard to say. Gokurakuyu's motto has always been making money first and service is paramount. We rarely hear of any conflicts with customers. Even if there are, they're usually with ordinary customers, and even with your skills, Masa-chan, you could easily handle it."

"Those truly powerful beings will try their best to satisfy the Paradise Soup, and they will not easily destroy the Paradise Soup, otherwise they will have nowhere to consume it."

Jinzi shook her head.

"Thank you, but I was offended."

Liu Zheng squinted and said.

What do you mean that even someone like him can be easily dealt with? Is he some kind of weak little trash?

He's at least the second-in-command of the food delivery department, you know.

"Hehe, I was just using an example, I hope you're not angry, Masashi-chan?"

Sumire stuck out her tongue.

"I won't be angry if you use me as a breast pillow."

He curled his lips.

"Okay, if it's Zheng-chan, it's fine even if she's used as a sex toy."

Sumire's smile is creepy.

"Alright, stop talking, or it won't pass the review later."

Liu Zheng interrupted her.

"But why don't they have anywhere to spend their money? There should be bathhouses in the city that can accommodate them, right?"

he asked.

"They won't come into the city. Gokurakuyu's customers are mostly people who use the finest ingredients, the kind that are very nourishing. If they came into the city, they would easily be targeted by certain restaurants."

Jinzi held up a finger and pointed at him.

Obviously, there must be a bloody restaurant among some restaurants.

"Ahaha~"

"Masa-chan is really shy. But Granny Tang is very powerful. It is said that she is a very powerful shaman who can summon many gods to possess her."

"Good heavens, could the full name of this bathhouse street be 'Northeast Bathhouse Street'?"

Liu Zheng squinted and said.

Now that the gods have possessed him, shouldn't we start performing rituals to summon the Five Witches' army?

"Ah, no. The bathhouse district is just called Bathhouse District. Masashi-chan, do you know anything about it?"

Sumireko was a little curious.

"It's nothing, I was just having a fit."

He waved his hand.

"Is there a specific comparison, like comparing Grandma Tang to an ox or a horse, who is stronger?"

"I'm not quite sure about that."

Sumireko said shyly.

"You don't know this or that, it's hard for me to do anything for you. Fine, I'll return the items to you."

Liu Zheng took out the disposable underwear again and was about to throw it at Jinzi.

He always acts with both boldness and caution. He wouldn't do a job that was far from his sphere of influence and without sufficient intelligence, no matter how lucrative the pay was.

It would be truly laughable if he could thrive in the metropolis but then meet his demise in the bathhouse district.

"Zhengjiang dares to bomb even the Peacock's office building, but doesn't dare to venture into a mere bathhouse street?"

Jinzi provoked him.

"I wouldn't dare, so what!"

Liu Zheng replied loudly.

"Uh"

His attitude left Jinzi speechless for a moment.

"Don't try to use those words on me. I act based on both profit and loyalty. If you try to play mind games with me, I'll have to play with knives instead."

Liu Zheng pulled out a boning knife and stabbed through the sashimi and the table together.

The originally harmonious and ambiguous atmosphere suddenly turned into one filled with murderous intent.

"Does Zheng-chan really have the heart to stab me?"

Sumire's face twitched, and she forced a smile as she spoke.

"Even a day as husband and wife brings a hundred days of kindness. Although we haven't spent a single day together, Sumire is gentler than any other wife. Therefore..."

Liu Zheng suddenly stopped.

"so?"

“We have a custom where we use the blood of a loved one to sharpen a precious sword. So, since I love Sumire so much, of course I’ll use your blood to sharpen this sword.”

His tentacles stroked the blade, and purplish-red blood flowed down the blade, dripping onto the orange-red fish flesh, making it look like jam had been spread on it.

Sensing the murderous aura that was about to be unleashed, Sumireko's body trembled slightly.

Because they had been having such a pleasant conversation, she had completely forgotten that the person in front of her was a lawless madman who would blow up wherever he went.

“Masa-chan, it’s not that we’re unwilling to provide you with information, but Granny Tang is indeed very good at protecting her information. Moreover, if we try to collect information about her, she will definitely find out.”

Sumireko took a step back and lay prone on the ground as she spoke.

"That's not a reason."

Liu Zheng said coldly.
