Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

Type: Item

Quality: Excellent

"Effect: Increases all attributes by 5 and greatly increases intelligence. Only effective when the player is 'Dead'."

Note: No, I'm already this big, would anyone still want to eat me?

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

Naive. If your effect is to enhance male virility, then even if you looked ten times more disgusting than you are now, it wouldn't matter.

While looking at the notes and making sarcastic remarks, he stretched the deceased's brains onto the coffin.

The gravedigger reached out and grabbed the dead man's brain, and orange flames spread from his palm toward the plant.

Soon, the deceased's brain was burned to ashes, leaving only a walnut-like fruit.

The tomb keeper casually tossed it over, and Liu Zheng quickly caught it with his tentacles. The item description popped up again.

Name: Deceased's brain nucleus (disposable)

Type: Item

Quality: Excellent

"Effect: Slowly increases intelligence, only effective when the player is 'Dead'."

"Note: Even if you keep me under your thumb for ten thousand years, your intelligence will not improve by the slightest bit."

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

Not only has the effect of increasing all attributes disappeared, but the effect of increasing intelligence has also become a slow increase, which obviously cannot be called enhancement.

"Your Excellency the Gravedigger, why did you turn the deceased's brain tissue into the deceased's brain core?"

Liu Zheng expressed his confusion.

"The brain tissue of the deceased is parasitic. If the self-awareness of the deceased who is parasitized is not strong enough, the personality will be assimilated by the brain tissue of the deceased."

"The deceased's brain nucleus lacks self-awareness; the deceased's intelligence is supplemented by their own personality."

The gravedigger explained.

"I see."

It dawned on him.

This point is not mentioned in the item description, and it is unclear whether players are not affected by it or the item description is incomplete.

"Thank you, Your Excellency."

He thanked him sincerely.

Given how much Dr. Nile loved Sesha, he would certainly prefer a foolish daughter to a plant in the guise of his daughter.

"But just how slow is this slowness?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Mummy, about a hundred years old."

The tomb keeper thought for a moment and then said.

"so long?"

"Oh, it doesn't seem like it's been that long."

He blurted it out, then immediately realized what he'd said.

For humans, a hundred years is a lifetime.

But for long-lived creatures like mummies, a hundred years might just be the time it takes to have a good night's sleep.

"Any thing else?"

"The tomb keeper asked."

"No, absolutely not. Please take your time soaking, I'll be going now."

Liu Zheng said without hesitation, and then walked out of the cemetery.

Back in the truck, he called the Nile doctor.

It rang for a while, but the call still didn't go through.

"Ok?"

He immediately called Guokou Tangzi, but the call still went unanswered.

"Something's happened, hurry back to Rose Street."

Liu Zheng immediately said to the driver.

“In Ordnung (No problem)”

The driver stepped on the gas, and the truck's exhaust pipe immediately emitted a violent roar.

Despite being just a truck, thanks to advanced technology modifications and superb driving skills, Liu Zheng quickly returned to Rose Street.

As soon as he reached the street corner, Liu Zheng heard the sounds of a fierce fight.

As we continued driving, the canopies of the plane trees cast huge shadows in the setting sun.

In the shadows, two groups were locked in a fierce battle.

One of these groups was naturally the tree-protecting team consisting of Niu Daji, Dr. Nile, and the five members of the Extreme Flavor Group.

The other group consisted of five tall, thin humanoid creatures dressed in black armor, wearing trident helmets, and wielding alien-style military knives.

Despite being outnumbered, the black-armored men, with their agility and superior martial arts skills, did not fall behind and even continued to squeeze the defensive perimeter of the tree-protecting squad.

However, none of the tree-protecting team members were injured. Instead, one of the black-armored men had his arm slashed, and blood dripped continuously from the crack in his arm armor.

"Can this vehicle fight?"

Seeing this, Liu Zheng asked the driver.

"It is not equipped with a combat module, but the armor and power are at the level of an armored vehicle."

The driver replied.

"Then let's just ram into it."

He said decisively.

"Hahaha, just as you wish!"

The driver laughed wildly and floored the accelerator.

When a massive object weighing tens of tons is charging towards you at a speed of over thirty meters per second, no one, not even these non-human beings engaged in battle, can ignore it.

However, when the tree-protecting team saw the truck charging towards them, they showed expressions of surprise, while the black-armored men were only filled with astonishment.

A man in black armor drew a dagger from his waist and hurled it forcefully at the truck.

The dagger whistled through the air and struck the driver's side window in a graceful parabola.

After a sharp, piercing scraping sound, the dagger fell limply to the ground and was run over by a wheel, while the glass remained undamaged.

"You think you can penetrate my armor with this little gadget? You'd better unleash a barrage of artillery fire first, you idiot."

The driver gave a disdainful smile.

The black-armored man who threw the dagger frowned and made a gesture.

Upon receiving the order, the other black-armored men immediately retreated in a loose formation to the surrounding areas.

It must be said that they acted very quickly.

Even when wearing full armor, they were as agile as a group of well-trained monkeys.

When the truck reached the plane trees, there were no longer any suitable targets to hit.

However, Liu Zheng was not disappointed; he had only intended to interrupt the opponent's offensive.

"Is everything okay?"

He jumped out of the driver's seat and asked.

"It's alright. Your family heirloom is indeed quite tough. It blocked several sneak attacks from the enemy."

"The Nile doctor said, catching his breath."

Liu Zheng looked at Niu Daji beside him, whose ancestral heavy armor now had several more scratches, some deep and some shallow.

"Well done."

He praised it.

"Hehe, I can't let you down, boss."

Niu Daji proudly puffed out his chest.

"How are you?"

Liu Zheng then looked at the five members of the Extreme Flavor Group.

"It's nothing. When we were fighting the Black Dragon Society for territory, the battle was much more intense."

Guo Kou Tangzi said casually.

"Where's the Lego?"

He looked at the plane tree; the human face on the trunk had its eyes closed, and the hands that had grown out last time had retracted back into the trunk.

"I don't know. I shouted 'Mince! How come there are so many?!' and then there was no response. Something might have gone wrong."

"That's what Guo Kou Tangzi said."

".Fine."

Liu Zheng remained silent.

Luckily, he was cautious enough to arrange a tree-protecting team, otherwise this guy would have died from being too sleepy after eating too much.

Last time was the same; they knew the liquor was fake but still insisted on drinking it. They never learn their lesson.

"Friends over there, what are you from? Let's introduce ourselves and each other, so as not to cause a misunderstanding and create an awkward situation."

Liu Zheng shielded everyone behind him, cupped his tentacles towards the black-armored man who had thrown the dagger, and shouted.

The man in black armor looked at the deliveryman's uniform he was wearing, thought for a moment, and then slowly spoke.

"Are you a delivery driver for the Bloody Restaurant?"

A husky and magnetic baritone voice, yet inexplicably giving off a cold feeling.

"Yes."

He nodded.

"Are you that ox or that horse, or that Liu Zheng?"

The man in black asked again.

"Niu Ma is my boss, I am Liu Zheng."

Liu Zheng replied.

Upon hearing his reply, the shadow cast by the black-armored man beneath his helmet seemed to tremble slightly.

"Someone is willing to pay a million to kill you."

"It's a man in black armor," the man in black suddenly said.

"Only one million? That's underestimating me!"

Liu Zheng said dismissively.

“I spend more than this on a single trip. If you gentlemen are short of money, I can give you three million right now to kill the person who hired me. Payment first, delivery later, any time is fine, just consider it making friends.”

He said it generously.

He must have three million in assets. Even if the other party only wants cash, the Nile Doctor and the Extreme Flavor Group can definitely scrape together the money.

Once the plane tree wakes up, we'll make it pay back the money.

"There's no need to make friends. Just hand over the corpse of the Wood Elf royal family, and we'll leave immediately."
