Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

“I know a rich second-generation heiress who is wealthy, educated, capable, and of good character. She is currently experiencing a career slump, and if you help her out, she will definitely be grateful.”

"and then?"

"And then she is female, and her interests are women."

Liu Zheng coughed and said.

"What good is it for me to express my gratitude? What I want is to continue the family line!"

The old man almost laughed out of anger.

"Well, the Metropolitan Hospital should have artificial insemination technology, right? I can pay for it."

"You're pretty generous, kid. Should I thank you?"

The old man squinted as he spoke.

"No need, no need. You've done me such a big favor, what's a little money?"

He gestured with his tentacles.

"I regret helping you now. I should have let you die in Dale."

The old man snorted heavily.

"If you don't think this method is good, then what we just said doesn't count. If you encounter any more trouble, you can come to me again."

Liu Zheng quickly replied.

"Hmph, you slippery brat. Look at your own tentacles."

The old man said.

He looked at his tentacles, which now had many patterns resembling faces.

"I used the Earth-Shattering Hammer to fix the killing intent and resentment in your body into the tentacles. This way, your path of killing will not go astray for the time being, and you will also have a means to fight. If you want to further cultivate your path of killing, you can come to me to disperse them again."

The old man said.

"What if I keep killing people?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"There's nothing I can do about that. I don't have a way to automatically channel all the killing intent you accumulate into your tentacles. You either have to kill fewer people in the future, or you have to formally cultivate the Path of Slaughter."

The old man shook his head.

"Please teach me, sir."

"You certainly know how to take advantage of a situation, but unfortunately I can't teach you. My method of killing can only be practiced by the cricket clan."

The old man grinned smugly.

"Uh, never mind, I'll go ask someone else."

It seems that even cattle and horses know how to kill, but I don't know if it's an unorthodox method.

"By the way, what would happen if I didn't have these four tentacles?"

Liu Zheng suddenly thought of a very important question.

Chapter 363 All the benefits the restaurant gave me, you took as kickbacks.

"If it's gone, it'll just grow back."

The old man said nonchalantly.

This kid's regenerative ability is simply insane. Let alone losing four tentacles, even losing four tendrils would only take him a few minutes to grow back.

"Oh, I mean, what if I turn back into human form and no longer have tentacles?"

Liu Zheng explained.

"Then there's nothing we can do. This kind of seal involves the essence of things. If your essence changes, the seal will naturally become ineffective."

The old man shook his head.

What would be the consequences?

"There won't be any consequences, just a backlash of killing intent. As long as you don't cause any more killing or stay in special places like the Battle Basin Killing Array, it won't be a big deal."

The old man said.

"What if my mind and body weaken significantly?"

he asked again.

"Then you're in for a world of trouble."

The old man didn't ask why; he just stated the conclusion.

Is there any way to solve this?

Liu Zheng asked helplessly.

After he finishes clearing the instance, he will definitely remove the "Flesh Aberration" status, and he will most likely become weaker.

“There are many ways, such as cultivation, sealing, purification, and transfer. Speaking of which, I just remembered that you grew a sword arm in the Battle Basin Killing Array, right? You could try the transfer method.”

The old man thought for a moment and then said.

"What is the method of transfer?"

"It means transferring the killing intent within your body into an object, usually a weapon. This reduces the corrosive effect of the killing intent while enhancing the weapon's power."

"Moreover, you can even recover from damage at the 'flesh' level, so we can use the blood sacrifice method to refine your four tentacles into a weapon, which will have an even better effect."

The old man replied.

"Do you know who can help me refine weapons using blood sacrifice?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"How should I know? I'm just a sauna attendant."

The old man rolled his eyes.

"Alright, I'll go back to town and ask around."

"Alright, you go to the next room. My kids are exhausted from this trip, and I still need to take care of them."

The old man said.

"Thank you for your hard work. This is my phone number. Please write it down and call me anytime. However, I may be in some strange places sometimes, so you might not be able to answer."

He's basically working non-stop these days, only taking a short nap at most, but he's not worried about being disturbed.

However, he travels to so many places that he might end up in areas with poor signal.

For example, at a garbage disposal site, you're unlikely to be able to answer the phone.

"Hmph, you should worry about yourself first. I've been around Bath Street for decades, I've seen all kinds of storms, I don't need your help."

The old man rolled his eyes.

"You can't say that."

It seems that people who have said similar things to him end up needing his help.

Liu left sauna room number 3 with a strange expression.

"Mr. Liu is truly a young man of great talent."

The fourth brother said admiringly.

Although sauna rooms have special designs, it's impossible for such a loud noise to be completely audible.

He started from the very bottom at the Gagashuang Bathhouse and knew these veteran employees very well. Just by listening to them, he knew that Old Man Cricket had really got the skills.

"Fourth Manager, you flatter me. It was Old Man Cricket who saw that I was young and released me into the sea."

Liu Zheng said modestly.

"I don't see where he released the sea."

The fourth brother thought to himself.

The commotion makes it seem like they're taking a sauna, but someone who doesn't might think they're having a deadly fight in a locked room.

"Would Mr. Liu like to rest a little longer?"

he asked.

"Sure, but don't bother with anything else this time, just give me lots of high-protein, high-fat stuff."

Liu Zheng said.

This time he expended a lot of energy. Although his physique didn't change much, he used up at least half of his reserves.

To attempt the more challenging Sauna Room 5 in this state is no different from running naked in front of Britain.

"I understand. You absolutely must try our braised pork ribs and sweet and sour pork. They're really filling and hearty dishes."

The fourth brother laughed.

"Then we have no choice but to give it a try."

Liu Zheng also laughed.

Just as the fourth brother was about to take them to the restaurant again, his phone rang.

"Sorry, I'll take a call first."

The fourth brother glanced at the number and said.

"It's alright, Manager Si, you go ahead with your work."

Liu Zheng readily agreed.

The fourth brother took his phone and walked to a spot a short distance away, then answered the call.

"Secretary Li, what do you want?"

"The boss is in trouble."

Secretary Li's words were concise and to the point.

"what happened?"

The fourth brother's expression immediately turned serious.

"I just called the boss a few times but couldn't get through. I also called Yongjian and Xiaoji, but I still couldn't get through."

"So I used the locator, and the final location it showed was from ten minutes ago."

Secretary Li said.

"Where is the final location?"

The fourth brother asked.

Sunset Boulevard.

"Sunset Boulevard, isn't that almost to the old town?"

The fourth brother was startled upon hearing this.

“That’s right. I suspect that Zhen Xinzhai lured the boss to the old town so that he could kill her and take all the family property.”

Secretary Li said.

"How could the boss be so foolish? I told her long ago that Zhen Xinzhai was no good and that we should be careful. How could she still fall for it?"

The fourth brother complained.

"What's the point of saying all this now? Besides, how do you know the boss isn't just playing along, trying to get rid of Zhen Xinzhai in a legitimate way?"

"She should have given us a heads-up beforehand, at least she should have brought me or Lao Zhang along, right? It's too risky to rely on Yongjian alone, isn't it?"

Xiao Ji was someone he personally promoted; Lao Si knew him all too well.

If you're talking about interpersonal skills and scheming, he's inherited some of the fourth brother's abilities.

But when it comes to stepping up and taking responsibility in crucial moments, he'll inevitably suffer from diarrhea.

Xiao Ji probably won't betray the boss, but he'll definitely run away faster than the boss.
