Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

Page 617

"However, a possibility is just a possibility, and this characteristic is not necessarily a good thing."

The Nile doctor didn't say much, he just shook his head.

"Understood. Thank you for your help today, doctor."

Liu Zheng said sincerely.

Dr. Nile played a truly solid role throughout the entire match, contributing both money and effort; even a father couldn't be more devoted.

“We helped many people and made many friends. But when the descendants of Ra faced great calamity, no one responded to our pleas for help, and some even coveted our bodies.”

"In the end, the only thing that helped me was a cow or a horse that I had never even looked at before."

"Metropolis is a place devoid of human warmth, which is why people with human warmth are all the more precious."

"As long as you don't betray us, the descendants of Ra will always be your support."

The Nile doctor placed his right hand on the Eye of Ra, then bowed slightly.

"Repay kindness with kindness, and repay injustice with justice. As long as you are my friends, even if the entire metropolis wants to devour you, I will still raise my sword against them."

Liu Zheng raised his butcher's knife, its blood-red reflection in the moonlight.

"Me too, me too."

Niu Daji quickly followed.

"What about us?"

"Soup in the pot" interjected.

"Same for you."

Liu Zheng turned around and said.

"Then I swear to the heirloom that the Extreme Flavor Group will never use the descendants of Ra as ingredients unless absolutely necessary, nor will we ever eat dishes made with the Ra clan."

Guo Kou Tangzi lifted the soup pot and said.

"Then the Extreme Flavor Group will also be friends of the descendants of Ra in the future."

The Nile doctor stared at her for a while, then walked up to her and extended his hand.

"The Extreme Flavor Team will cherish this friendship."

He squeezed the soup from the pot tightly.

"very good."

Liu Zheng nodded in satisfaction.

He will leave the metropolis sooner or later, and as long as he can make those who helped him live better lives, then his trip will not have been in vain.

After seeing off Dr. Nile, Niu Daji, and the Extreme Flavor Group, Liu Zheng returned to the plane trees.

When the plane tree saw him coming, it immediately closed its eyes and pretended to sleep.

"You forgot to collect a tree root."

Liu Zheng reminded him.

"Ok?"

The plane tree opened its eyes and quickly pulled back the stray roots it had missed.

"What are you doing here again, you robber human? I've already paid the money, don't even think about taking my collection again."

It said warily.

"I don't want your collection."

He shook his head.

"Don't even think about it."

The plane trees are more vigilant now.

"While I don't know exactly how wild human sexuality is in your eyes, I have no interest in interracial relationships, thank you. Well, at least not right now."

Liu Zheng said earnestly.

"Then what do you want?"

"I want to say thank you."

He said.

"Why should I? I paid!"

The plane trees cried out.

"I know. I just wanted a thank you; this isn't a transaction."

Liu Zheng nodded and said.

"I could turn you into manure with one slap, and you expect me to thank you?"

The plane tree sneered.

"You are the strong one, and you have the right to choose what to do. I am the weak one, but I also have the right to choose what to say."

he said calmly.

"I could choose to evolve into a tree spirit and then slap you to death."

As he spoke, the plane tree raised its arm.

"You can try. But I must warn you, the fisherman and the fire mage should be down there now."

Liu Zheng said.

"You dare to threaten me?"

The plane tree stared wide-eyed at the wood.

"You threatened me first."

He remained unmoved.

"You're going to turn against me just because I said thank you?"

The plane trees looked at him as if he were crazy.

"Every intelligent being has moments of irrationality. Just like you, in order to gain freedom, you chose an evolutionary path that was almost a dead end."

Liu Zheng said.

To become a phoenix, one must first become an egg with almost no ability to protect oneself.

Even if they successfully hatch, they still have to smuggle themselves across the border to leave the metropolis.

Even if one successfully leaves the metropolis, the Five Virtues Cultivation awaits.

Without Liu Zheng's help, the first step of the French plane tree project was blocked.

"But I haven't made a choice yet."

The plane tree retorted.

"Then you can choose now."

What would I get in return if I thanked you?

The plane tree asked tentatively.

"Yeah, actually I really need to pee right now."

"Are you sick, you idiot human? I have alcohol to drink now, who wants to drink your piss?"

The plane tree cursed.

"Then you'll end up with nothing."

He shrugged.

"Hmph. Thanks. Is that alright?"

The plane tree spoke in a voice softer than a mosquito's hum.

Unfortunately, Liu Zheng's ears could hear even the sound of a mosquito moving in its womb (an exaggeration).

"Okay. Here, have this as a snack with your drinks. I'm off."

He grabbed a handful of dried fish and tossed them to the plane tree, then turned away with a flourish.

"This is barely enough to fill my teeth. Idiot humans are so stingy."

The plane tree gave him the middle finger as he walked away, then stuffed all the dried fish into its mouth.

"I should go back now; this trip has already taken long enough."

Back at the restaurant, the driver said to Liu Zheng.

"Okay. Thank you for your help this time."

He said respectfully.

"No trouble at all. I've already taken the money and watched the performance. If you have any more good opportunities like this in the future, just let me know."

The driver said with a smile.

When was the last time he saw an air raid? Thirty years? A hundred years?

"Definitely next time."

As the tank disappeared, the cattle and horses also emerged from the delivery lane.

"Did Peacock order takeout again?"

Liu Zheng stared intently at the split horn on the cow.

"No, why are you suddenly asking that?"

The ox and horse asked, puzzled.

"So, what's going on, boss?"

He pointed to the horns of the cattle and asked.

"Oh, I delivered a xiezhi (a mythical beast) to my delivery, and it said my horns aren't as pretty as itss."

"How could I tolerate this? I immediately started arguing with it. As we argued, it said it wanted to fight me, and of course I couldn't back down, so we started fighting."

The ox and horse spoke with great interest.

"And then you lost?"

"How could that be? I practically split its horns in two!"

The oxen and horses grumbled.

"Impressive, impressive, as expected of my boss."

Liu Zheng gave a thumbs-up with his tentacles.

"Hmph, do you even need to tell me? Give it to me."

The oxen and horses raised their hooves.

"What to take?"

"Don't play dumb. This is a reward for your hard work. If I hadn't been backing you up, would you be able to be having such a good time outside?"

The ox and horse gritted their teeth and said.

"Who's having a good time? Those enjoyable activities are all done by the Nile Doctors, while I'm suffering, okay?"
