Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

"Hey, you're definitely laughing for real this time, aren't you?"

Liu Zheng squinted at it.

"Hurry up, don't keep Shi Sang waiting."

Thirteen urged.

"A higher-ranking official can crush you," and under pressure from both his superior and his client, he had no choice but to pick up the syringe.

Liu Zheng opened his mouth, and a thin stream of slightly yellow liquid fell into it.

"hiss!"

The moment the lemon juice touched his taste buds, Liu Zheng felt as if his brain had exploded.

The extreme sourness was like a thousand sycophants witnessing their goddess performing oral gymnastics for her boyfriend, who was also the bunkmate above them who never washed his feet.

"Slurp~ Slurp~ Slurp~"

Liu Zheng kept slurping, but his powerful oral muscles still couldn't stop the exploding salivary glands.

Saliva poured down, flowing like a waterfall.

"Hahahahaha!"

"Hehe~hehe~hehe~"

Thirteen Orphans and the Stone Man let out a wild laugh.

Watching the newlyweds get soured that they crumple up like a piece of paper is one of their signature acts.

"Two old geezers with a perverse sense of humor."

Liu Zheng slurped his saliva as he stared at them speechlessly.

He inhaled for a full minute before the sourness in his mouth subsided somewhat, and he managed to close his mouth with difficulty.

"Looks like you're not that capable after all. I ate a whole one the first time."

Thirteen said smugly.

Hehe~

The stone man swayed, seemingly agreeing with him.

"Then you must have given birth to a bunch of sons, slurp."

Liu Zheng said with difficulty.

"How did you know?"

Thirteen said in surprise.

"Sour, spicy, slurp, girl."

"Oh, that's true. Hmm? No, that was about a woman, not a man."

Thirteen Yao reacted and glared at him.

"Hehe~hehe~hehe~"

The voice of the skull echoed in the barn.

"Hey Minister, didn't you say you didn't have a wife? Where did all these sons come from?"

Liu Zheng swallowed hard and asked curiously.

"Who told you I don't have a wife?"

Thirteen asked curiously.

"Then aren't you with my uncle?"

“You can have a girlfriend even if you have a wife. Besides, who says you can’t have children if you don’t have a wife? All my girlfriends are willing to have my children.”

"A little kid like you wouldn't understand the charm of a mature man like us."

he said proudly.

"hehe."

Liu Zheng rolled his eyes and then got back to grouting.

Hehe~hehe~

The stone man looked at Thirteen Orphans.

"Does Mr. Shi find him interesting? I do too, which is why I had him serve you as soon as he arrived."

Thirteen Yao laughed.

Hehe~hehe~

"Yes, he just joined the company today, his code name is Renhe. You are the first guest he has served."

Thirteen said.

Hehe~hehe~

Upon hearing this, the stone man suddenly crouched down.

"Hey, Mr. Shi, what's wrong with you?"

Liu Zheng almost fell off the ladder.

“Look at the top of Shi Sang’s head.”

Thirteen said.

He looked up at the top of the stone man's head as instructed, where there was a sunken basin containing many small flowers of different colors.

"Pick a flower."

Thirteen said.

"Minister, what does this mean?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"You successfully made Shi Sang laugh, and since he knows it's your first time serving customers, I'm giving you a red envelope."

Thirteen said.

"Uh"

For some reason, he had a feeling that he had sold his body.

"Hurry up, don't keep Shi Sang waiting."

"Minister, how should I take it?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Just pick any flower you like. No one knows the pattern except for Shisang. Of course, it won't tell you either."

Thirteen said.

Hehe~hehe~

The stone man agreed.

Letting the newlyweds choose their own tips is also a tradition.

"Is there a bad kind?"

He asked cautiously.

"Of course there is, otherwise what fun would there be? Don't worry, I won't kill you."

Thirteen said with a wicked grin.

"It better be this way."

Liu Zheng rolled his eyes at him and said.

He reached for the flowerpot while taking the delivery slip in his hand.

If things go wrong later, he'll give those two guys a good beating first, and then run away.

Which flower should we choose?

Liu Zheng fell into thought.

His favorite colors are black, white, and bright red, but there are no flowers of these three colors in the flowerpot, only those of similar colors.

Since that's the case, let's pick the one he dislikes the most.

Liu Zheng reached into the flowerpot and picked a pink flower.

The flower has seven petals, which are heart-shaped. The stamens in the center are densely packed and secrete a green sticky substance.

In every sense, this flower touched a nerve with his aesthetic sensibilities.

"Swallow it directly, no need to chew."

Thirteen said.

As soon as he finished speaking, the item description popped up.

Name: Shi Tiantian's Little Flower

Type: Item

Quality: Excellent

"Effect: After consumption, you gain a layer of stone skin that absorbs a portion of the damage when attacked. It lasts for the current instance and disappears after being triggered."

"Note: This is a little hairpin, given to you, me, and everyone else. Anyone who dares to refuse it will be sent back to their hometown."

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

"Actually, I think it looks pretty good on."

After reading the item description, Liu Zheng said.

Excellent-grade pure defensive items are of little use to him now.

However, if it's used for someone whose status is reset in the next instance, then it could be much more useful.

So if possible, Liu Zheng still wants to save up.

"Is this alright, Mr. Shi?"

Thirteen Orphans asked the Stone Man.

Hehe~hehe~

The stone man nodded slightly.

"You're lucky, Shi Sang agreed to your request. Hurry up and thank Shi Sang."
