Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

"Ccrunch."

The valve was slowly opened, and Donya waved her little hand excitedly to greet him.

Red Ghost stood behind her, his face full of kindness.

"Electrician, come in quickly."

Donya shouted to Liu Zheng.

"Okay."

He agreed verbally, but didn't move his feet, his gaze fixed on the Red Ghost.

"come in."

Red Ghost nodded.

"it is good."

Liu Zheng entered the shelter, and the valve closed automatically.

"The teacher needs to talk to the electrician. You can play by yourselves for now."

Looking at the children who had gathered around, Red Ghost spoke gently.

"Sweetie, I'll come and play with you in a little while."

He chimed in.

"Good~"

Although disappointed, the children obediently returned to their seats.

"You went outside for a while?"

Red Ghost led him to the storage room and then asked.

"Yes. I was hoping to come and ask you for something useful, but I couldn't get in touch with you."

Liu Zheng said frankly.

"The things I have here aren't very useful to you. Besides, it's not suitable for you to have too much contact with me."

Red Ghost shook his head.

Especially since he stopped by here before leaving the country, the city hall might just cancel Liu Zheng's exit permit.

"Too."

What did you see outside?

Red Ghost asked.

"Can you tell me?"

"Sure. You can say whatever you want in this shelter."

Red Ghost said calmly.

"Okay, I'm going to a place called Atlantis."

Liu Zheng briefly described what he saw and heard during his trip abroad.

"Ha, the church. They're the same everywhere."

Red Ghost sneered.

"That Calcarens Academy is even more ridiculous. Albert, as the academy's dean and a great scholar, couldn't even unify the academy's thinking, and even had most of the elites taken away by his own disciples. I think what they need is not some divine blood, nor some inner eye, but a committee member."

he commented.

"It's the steam age, so we can't expect too much. After all, they really do have gods there."

Liu Zheng still spoke a fair word.

Just like if there really was a Dragon King in reality, Zhang Zongchang wouldn't dare to threaten to bombard the Dragon King Temple even if he had ten times the courage.

Of course, if he's using something like a Heavenly Court-issued demon-slaying cannon, that's a different story.

"god."

Red Ghost snorted the word, shook his head, and ended the conversation.

"What do you want from me?"

he asked.

"Didn't you come looking for me?"

"The sewers were tampered with, moving the shelter entrance here. They had no reason or courage to do so, so it could only have been for you."

Red Ghost said.

"I see. I was wondering what a coincidence it was."

Liu Zheng suddenly realized.

"I do have something to ask you, but let's make this clear first: whether you agree to what I'm about to say or not, you can't hit me or blast me with a tank."

"Don't worry, for the sake of the children, as long as you don't do anything to harm the shelter, I won't hurt you."

Red Ghost said.

"I don't know if it counts as a hazard shelter. Last time you beat up the sewer, right? This time my boss asked me to make a deal with it, and it insists that I beat you up before it will agree to the deal."

He touched the seaweed-like hair on his head and said.

Is that all?

Red Ghost asked calmly, showing no sign of anger.

"Yes, about this matter. If you don't agree, then forget it, I'll think of something else."

"No rush. The sewers went crazy again today, consuming a lot of electricity from the shelter. Since you're here, we can generate some more power."

Red Ghost pointed to the power-generating chair and said.

"Hey, didn't you say you wouldn't hurt me?"

Liu Zheng protested.

"If I heal you, it won't count as harming you."

"You are using strong words to make sense!"

He protested again.

"I don't think there's anything wrong with my logic. Do you really want to beat me up?"

Red Ghost asked.

"It's not that I want to beat you up, it's that the sewer wants to beat you up to vent its anger, and it asked me to do it for it."

Liu Zheng corrected.

"What's the difference?"

"Of course there's a difference. If you can come up with another solution, I won't beat you up."

He said it in a very casual manner.

No. But I can grant your request.

Red Ghost said.

"Really?"

Liu Zheng was somewhat incredulous.

How valuable must the face of a big shot who can go against the city hall be? How could he let an ant ruin it?

"Really, but there's a condition."

Red Ghost said.

"What conditions?"

"The kids loved the Hades milk you sent last time. Send another twenty buckets of Hades milk, and I won't fight back if you beat me up."

Red Ghost replied.

"Then, can we record a video?"

He pressed his advantage and asked further.

Without video recording, he was worried that the sewers wouldn't take responsibility.

"Okay, add twenty more."

Red Ghost nodded.

"Row!"

Liu Zheng gritted his teeth and agreed.

A bucket of Hades milk costs 10,000 yuan, so 400,000 buckets would cost 400,000 yuan. Even in reality, that would be enough for him to live on for a lifetime, not to mention that the purchasing power of the currency in the metropolis is quite strong.

However, considering that you can beat up a big shot like Red Ghost for free for 400,000, it feels like an incredibly good deal.

If Red Ghost offered the city hall these terms, the central bank's printing presses would probably be printing money non-stop for 25 hours a day.

"Then I'm going out to play with the children."

Liu Zheng was about to slip away when he said that.

"Wait a moment."

Red Ghost called out to him.

What brings you here, sir?

He asked respectfully.

"Since we're already here, let's make a power-up before we leave."

Red Ghost pointed to the power-generating chair and said.

"Didn't I generate a year's worth of electricity last time?"

Liu Zheng wailed.

"Thanks to you, the children have become much more active lately, and their electricity consumption has increased as well. Moreover, the shelter has a large power storage capacity; it could hold enough electricity for another hundred years."

Red Ghost said.

"A hundred years? You might as well just weld me to the power generation chair."

He complained as he obediently walked to the generator chair and sat down.

There is no way, the situation is stronger than the person.

"With your abilities, you don't yet have that kind of power."

Red Ghost belittled him as he pressed the execution button.

Although it agreed to Liu Zheng's request, it doesn't mean it didn't feel humiliated.

On the contrary, its personality inherently includes arrogance, irritability, and a tendency to be easily angered.

If it weren't for the fact that Liu Zheng's favorability rating was already high enough, and that his strength posed no threat to it, the person who said those words would have been dead the moment they left its mouth.

Of course, Red Ghost also wanted to use this opportunity to repair its relationship with the sewers.

A close neighbor is worse than a distant relative. We don't know how long we'll be staying in the sewers in this shelter, so we should try our best to maintain a good relationship with this neighbor.

After all, while the sewers may not be able to defeat the Red Ghost, they can still annoy it.

After another power outage, Liu Zheng watched the children with their afro and played a simple board game for a while before leaving the shelter.

Back on the ground, he made a phone call to the cattle and horses.

"Spit it out, I'm busy."

The lazy sounds of cattle and horses came from the other end of the phone.

"whispering sound."

Busy my ass. He doesn't even need to look to know that the cow or horse is probably lying on its haystack right now, one hoof wrapped around a wine bottle, the other flipping through the erotic magazine he bought for it last time.
