Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

He said thoughtfully.

No business is without its tricks; having spent so much money on renovations, they definitely want to make it back from the customers.

They should either raise prices, add more services, or cut costs. If these amazing bathhouses haven't done any of that, it means they value their reputation more than short-term profits.

Gaga Shuang Bathhouse has already become one of the top ten bathhouses, and to maintain this mindset shows that it has great ambitions.

It seems we should reap some rewards this time.

"Hey, isn't this Niu Daji? What are you doing here at this hour instead of standing guard outside?"

A voice said in a sarcastic tone.

Liu Zheng turned around and saw a car that looked like a Santana parked behind them. A goat-headed man stretched his neck and leaned out of the passenger window.

"What? Your mom finally can't afford to raise your bunch of good-for-nothing brothers anymore, so she's sending you to apply for a security guard job?"

It said sarcastically.

"Yang Xixi, damn it."

Upon hearing this, Niu Daji opened his mouth to curse, but after glancing at Liu Zheng, he held back.

"Who is that?"

Liu Zheng glanced at its indignant expression and said.

"My name is Yang Xixi, and Yang Xixi is me. What, are you this good-for-nothing's new sucker? I've never seen you on Bath Street before."

Yang Xixi said in a very casual manner.

"My first time here."

he replied.

"No wonder, I was wondering why there were people on this street I'd never seen before. Brother, I advise you not to hang out with this guy. His family can't do anything worthwhile except cheat and swindle people because they look honest."

"That's what Yang Xixi said."

"Oh?"

Liu Zheng turned around and glanced at Niu Daji.

To his surprise, Niu Daji didn't show much anger on his face.

"Grandpa, don't listen to this kid's stories. We've done a lot of serious business too."

Niu Daji quickly explained.

So you don't deny that your family takes advantage of their honest appearance to cheat and swindle, right?

Liu Zheng pursed his lips, not taking it too seriously.

After all, people in the metropolis are practically born with the skill of swindling and cheating, and he himself wasn't much better at it.

"So what exactly is going on between you two?"

He asked with great interest.

"us."

"Hello."

Just as Yang Xixi was about to speak, a security guard wearing a navy blue coat and a gold-rimmed wide-brimmed hat walked over.

The security guard looked like a normal human being, not very old, and quite energetic, except for his slightly protruding belly.

"Excuse me, sir, parking isn't allowed at the entrance. Could you give me your keys and I'll park for you? You and your friend can go inside first."

He walked over, saluted Yang Xixi, and then bowed and said.

"Who's friends with them? Niu Daji, if you're so tough, don't leave. I'll come back for you after I park my car."

Yang Xixi pointed at Niu Daji, then started the car and drove towards the parking lot.

"Let's go."

Liu Zheng said.

"Ah, aren't we going to wait for it?"

Niu Daji was stunned for a moment.

"What, you want to fight it?"

Liu Zheng glanced at it.

"I thought that since it was so arrogant, you would teach it a lesson."

Niu Daji scratched his head.

"Its arrogance is directed at you, not me. Besides, even if we wanted to teach it a lesson, we shouldn't do it here."

He shook his head.

"What do you mean?"

"Didn't you say that the experience of winning 'What are you looking at?' was great? Even if you want to teach it a lesson, you have to go inside first."

Liu Zheng said.

"The old man is indeed a city dweller; he's got a good head on his shoulders."

Niu Daji said admiringly.

"Please come, distinguished guests."

The security guard proactively opened the side door for them.

He now realized that it wasn't a friend greeting them, so he didn't want them to linger at the door any longer.

After all, the area outside is his area of ​​responsibility, and he would be held accountable if something happened there.

"Lead the way in the front hall, three honored guests."

The security guard shouted as he opened the door.

"Public guest."

Liu Zheng's lips twitched.

His confusion regarding the naming of the metropolis is beyond words.

"Three distinguished guests, this way please~"

A male doorman dressed in a gray shirt and black trousers walked over to greet them.

"Are you washing the tickets and package deals for the three VIP guests?"

He asked as he led them to the sofa.

"The ticket only covers the shower, but the package includes a scrub, meal, massage, karaoke, and stuff like that. Is this your first time here, bro?"

The doorman introduced.

"Yes, this is my first time here."

Liu Zheng nodded.

"So, did you come here just to take a shower, or do you want to try out more activities?"

The doorman greeted him and asked.

"Having come all this way, of course I want to experience as much as possible."

he replied.

"Then let's buy a package deal. Judging by your demeanor, you're a respectable person. I recommend the 388 package, which includes a bath, a meal, a scrub and massage, fruit platters, and tea. If you're a VIP here, you'll also get an extra facial treatment."

The doorman glanced at Liu Zheng and then immediately spoke.

"Of course, your skin doesn't need any treatment. We can offer other services of equal value, or you can make any other requests you may have, and we'll try our best to accommodate them."

His pronunciation was clear, but his accent was heavy and distinctive.

"So how can I become a VIP here?"

Liu Zheng was stunned after he finished speaking.

His accent seemed to have been unconsciously assimilated by the doorman.

That's a really catchy accent, but the system didn't give me any warnings about a sanity reduction exemption, so it should be fine.

"Then how about I get a membership card? We have a promotion for today: top up 1,000 and get 100 free, top up 3,000 and get 500 free, the more you top up, the more you get free."

The doorman's eyes lit up.

Can you do this right here?

“I can’t do it here, you have to go to the front desk. But if you sign up for a card, I’ll get a small commission. We can’t afford to give away anything else, so I’ll just give you a few internal tickets. You can take them back and give them away, they’ll be useful.”

The doorman said generously.

"Then you can help me with that. First, deposit 20,000 into my account."

Liu Zheng sat down on the sofa and took out a thick stack of banknotes, placing them on the coffee table in front of him.

"hiss!"

The doorman gasped.

He had seen many generous customers, but this was the first time he had ever seen a customer who was so generous on their first visit.

Moreover, the other party arrived so discreetly, without even driving a car or riding in a sedan chair. They must either be really rich or they're here to cause trouble.

"Brother, what's your surname? We need your name and contact information to open a card here."

The doorman said cautiously.

"My name is Liu Zheng, and my phone number is XXXX."

Liu Zheng replied.

"Okay. Wait a moment, I'll go open the card for you."

The doorman bent down to take the money.

"Wait a moment."

He extended his tentacles to stop the other party.

"Brother, what's wrong?"

"These are yours."

Liu Zheng took out a few banknotes and handed them to the doorman.

“Well, brother, we don’t allow tipping here.”

The doorman said somewhat awkwardly.

"Then buy me some drinks and treat you and your colleagues. If you still disagree, then you're disrespecting me."

His face turned cold.

"Well, alright then, thank you, brother. Xiao Ma, go get three fruit platters for the three distinguished guests, and also prepare a pot of good tea. Put it on my tab."

The doorman called out to another doorman.

"okay."

The doorman responded loudly.

The doorman took the money to the front desk and whispered something to the receptionist.

The receptionist looked surprised, then took out her walkie-talkie and made a call.

A moment later, a man with a white shirt tucked into his trousers, revealing a belt with a large logo, came out.

"despair!"

He walked to the front desk and stomped his foot hard, making a loud, crisp sound.

"What's going on? Why did you call me over in such a hurry?"

He asked the receptionist.

As he spoke, he glanced around with his small eyes, seemingly observing the situation in the lobby.
