Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

"No, he hasn't come since he used his underwear to pay off the debt."

"That's good."

He was not surprised but delighted.

Since the legendary deliveryman has taken a bath at the bathhouse, it means he has this need.

If I don't come to the Yakudo Hot Spring, I'll go to another bathhouse.

Humans are path-dependent; once someone has taken a free bath by throwing their underwear in, they are very likely to do it a second or third time.

"Then I'd appreciate it if you could contact all the bathhouses in the city and ask if any of the legendary deliverymen have ever used underwear as collateral for debts. If so, I'll buy it back at a high price, no limit on the quantity."

"The first person to sell me underwear can make a reasonable request or a request that is within my capabilities."

Liu Zheng said.

"What if we get the underwear first and then sell it to you?"

Sumireko asked tentatively.

"This condition applies to everyone. I only recognize underwear, not people."

"Of course, given our relationship, we don't need such a condition."

He raised an eyebrow at Jinzi.

"Oh no, the children are still here."

Jinzi said coquettishly.

"Isn't this even more exciting?"

Liu Zheng flashed a smile just like a cow or a horse.

"abnormal!"

Xiao Wan rolled her eyes dramatically, while Qingzi subtly pouted.

“Okay, I will immediately inform the family to contact the various bathhouses.”

Sumireko put away her smile and said.

"Then please."

Liu Zheng also said solemnly.

"I'll go now. Haruko, you keep Masashi company for a couple of drinks first."

After giving instructions to Seiko, Sumireko hurriedly left the room.

This is a big deal for their family. If handled well, it might elevate the family's status in the bathing industry.

After a few rounds of drinks, Jinzi hurriedly returned.

"We have already informed the family, and the elders have said they will give their full support and will not let our good friend down."

"Furthermore, Zheng-chan has made such a great sacrifice to save the future of our family. Even though you keep your promise, we can't be completely ignorant of human relationships."

"This is the family's compensation to you; consider it a bonus for exceeding expectations in completing the task."

She took a lacquer box out of her bra and placed it in front of Liu Zheng.

He opened the lacquer box, inside which was a mirror without a mirror surface.

The mirror appears to be made of bronze, but it has rusted from a golden yellow to a dark blue-black.

Liu Zheng picked up the mirror, and the product description popped up again.

Name: Three-Piercing Mirror (Disposable)

Type: Item

Quality: Excellent

"Effect: The holder will be constantly tormented by their inner self until they can no longer bear it. The dark side of the holder's inner self will be copied into the mirror, which the player can release and impose a command on. The longer the torment lasts, the more complete the dark side becomes. The duration is negatively correlated with the strength of the dark side."

"Note: How many times have I told you, the Three-Fold Mirror cannot be used to have children with yourselves, you big idiots!"

"Can it be taken out of the instance: No"

"this thing."

Liu Zheng was playing with the mirror.

The effect of the Three-Faced Mirror is similar to that of a cosplay costume, but its practicality is far inferior to the latter.

Cosplay outfits can be used simply by mimicking the appearance of the other person, and they also enhance the player's own appearance.

The Three-Faced Mirror needs to be held by someone for a long time, and the holder needs to be constantly interrogated, which first of all eliminates enemies and people who are not close enough to the person.

Moreover, once the dark side is summoned, it cannot be fully controlled; only one command can be issued.

Of course, one is a prop that can be obtained at the front desk of a public bathhouse, while the other is a rare delicacy that is only available in limited quantities at a bloody restaurant, so there is really no comparison.

"But who should use this?"

Liu Zheng fell into thought.

Chapter 415 His Excellency, the Respected Great Collector

First, exclude Britain, Napoleon, Oink, and Szech.

He's more like someone who's been tortured; how could he possibly be willing to be tortured for him?

Secondly, exclude Red Ghost and the Potato Sisters.

The Crimson Phantom is too powerful; the Three-Tails Mirror would probably shatter with just one glare, let alone torture it.

The three potato sisters are too weak; even if they replicate the dark side, it won't make much difference.

The rest are the Nile doctor, the plane tree, the novelist, the butcher, the fisherman, and the cattle.

Of these, Killer Sauce is the strongest, Doctor Nile and the Novelist are the weakest, and Ushima and Masashi have the best relationship.

If you ask for cattle or horses, they will definitely refuse at first, but as long as Liu Zheng uses his money magic, he can still easily control them.

However, it's pointless to keep targeting only one "person," and he can basically figure out the dark side of those people.

The Nile Doctor is somewhat similar to him; their strength is primarily in external things, so it's hard to say how much power the dark side has, so we can rule them out.

Putting aside the novelist's talent, they can't even be found now, so they can be ruled out immediately.

That leaves the plane trees, the shrimp paste, and the fishermen.

The plane trees and the fishermen are primarily driven by their own abilities, so their strength in the shadows is certainly guaranteed.

However, the London plane tree is a tree, and its movement is restricted, which makes its shady side relatively narrow in its application.

For example, if orders to hunt down or protect are issued, its dark side will find it difficult to complete the mission.

The fisherman's abilities are quite versatile. Judging from his and the sea maiden's several encounters, their race's abilities are well-rounded in offense and defense, with control, output, and good survivability.

If we were to add Liu Zheng's "rebirth of flesh and blood," it would be an absolute killer, but unfortunately, we can't add it.

As for Kill Sauce, he was really unsure.

After all, he hadn't actually witnessed any of the attacks himself.

Anyway, since both the fisherman and the killer are in the sewers, we can make a decision after we meet.

"Thank you, I really like this gift."

Liu Zheng changed his wording.

"I'd be so glad Masa-chan likes it."

When Sumireko heard the word "gift," her eyes narrowed with a smile.

As expected of the man known as the "Metropolitan Succubus," his mastery of language is truly exceptional.

"From now on, you should work hard here. If anything happens, just tell Sumire and Haruko."

After finishing their business, Liu Zheng said to Xiao Wan.

"Yes, I'll work hard. Once I've saved enough money, I'll buy Zheng-chan a pair of underwear too."

Xiao Wan nodded seriously.

"Yes, I'm really looking forward to it."

He hesitated for a moment, but decided to give the child some encouragement and reached out to touch her head.

"Masako, please have some tea."

Qingzi came closer and also changed her form of address.

Seeing her head bobbing back and forth, Liu Zheng knew exactly what she wanted, and helplessly patted her head.

"I'm leaving now. Let me know if you hear anything."

He stood up and said.

"Shouldn't Zhengjiang wait for the Extreme Flavor Group? They should be here soon."

"I asked," Jinzi.

"I can't wait any longer. I'm very busy and I don't have anything to do with them right now."

Liu Zheng shook his head and then turned and left the VIP room.

"What a good man."

Sumireko sighed as she watched his retreating figure.

"Does Auntie want to change her husband?"

"I can't help but ask," Qingzi suddenly asked.

“He doesn’t like women like me, and besides, your uncle wouldn’t agree either.”

Jinzi shook her head.

"That's right, she'll only remarry if I'm dead!"

A sharp sound came from inside her clothes.

"So, what kind of woman does Zhengjiang like?"

"Qingzi asked."

"Him? He'd probably be the kind of woman with a lot of backbone. But I advise you not to be his first woman, wait and see."

"Sumiko said."

"why?"

"Too many women have their eyes on him, and now he'll just be crushed to death. Besides, Masako is a man who's going to do big things, and our small family can't afford to bet everything on him."

"Sumiko said."

It's fine to make a good connection, but we'll have to wait and see before actually boarding the ship.

After all, while a small boat is easier to turn around, it is also easier to capsize.

"I understand."

Jingzi bowed slightly.

After all, Ai Zhu had only recently died, and she only had a slight interest in Liu Zheng.

Moreover, having experienced a life-or-death separation, she has become more mature.

"You too, little girl. Wait until your breasts are as big as Jingzi's before you start thinking about him."

Jinzi looked at Xiaowan and said.

"How did Sumire-neechan know that Masashi-chan likes big breasts?"

Xiao Wan said somewhat unconvinced.

"Since Liu Zheng has entrusted you to me, you must abide by my rules. From now on, you must call me Lord Jinzi."

Sumireko's tone became serious.

"It is Lady Sumireko."
