Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

Yorozuya didn't ask any further questions.

"I'd like to ask if there are any ways to avoid triggering negative effects or to modify the trigger probability."

He said.

"Yes, and I have something that's perfect for you."

The will-o'-the-wisp in Yorozuya's eyes flickered, and a die flew out from the pile of junk and automatically flew to Liu Zheng's front.

The dice are just ordinary six-sided plastic dice, except that the number on each side changes between 1 and 6.

Liu Zheng grabbed the dice, and the item description immediately popped up.

"This is!"

The moment he saw the item's effect, his pupils dilated in shock.

Chapter 452 Liu Zheng: I'm Really Not a Bomb Maniac

Name: Random Dice (One-Time Use)

Type: Item

Quality: Excellent

"Effect: Randomly shuffles the order of the trigger probability of a certain item's effect."

"Note: This is the Dice Girl's pity for you unlucky players. Quickly say thank you to the Dice Girl."

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

Strong, incredibly strong, invincible.

After Liu Zheng finished looking at the item's effects, only one thought remained in his mind.

If the disordered dice were used by the Black Carp Dragon's Resentment, wouldn't it take off on the spot?

But after a brief moment of excitement, Liu Zheng calmed down.

While the effect of randomized dice is powerful, it is not truly invincible.

First, randomly shuffling the order means that the original order may remain unchanged after the shuffling.

Secondly, even if the probability drops to 1%, the possibility of instant death still exists, so it can only be used as a gamble.

However, even recognizing the disadvantages of the randomized dice did not diminish his determination to win.

“This is indeed what I need.”

Liu Zheng said calmly.

Those who have thunder in their hearts but a calm face can be appointed as generals.

Although he wasn't a general, acting skills were even more crucial for him as a deliveryman at the Bloody Restaurant.

"As long as Boss Liu is satisfied."

Yorozuya laughed.

"What about the price?"

he asked tentatively.

"First, I need this half-dried yarrow stalk."

Yorozuya said.

"This is no problem."

With a 99% chance of good fortune, a mere yarrow stalk suddenly loses its appeal.

"And then, you have to do one more thing for me."

"Uh, can't I buy it with money?"

Liu Zheng asked.

He gets a headache whenever he hears about doing something. Although he is indeed a player, he enjoys killing monsters, not doing quests.

"Do you think I'm short of money?"

Yorozuya countered with a question.

"But you don't seem like you're short-staffed."

He said.

“You’re wrong about that. I not only lack people to do things, I’m desperately short of them.”

Yorozuya shook his head, making a sound like wiping glass as he rubbed it against the table.

"Many people think that Yorozuya can do anything, and in reality, it's pretty much true."

There was a hint of smugness in its tone.

"However, the real meaning of Yorozuya is not that I can do a lot of things by myself, but that I can always find people who can get things done."

"Both those who ask for help and those who are asked for help will create threads of fate, and I am the one who weaves the web."

Yorozuya said.

"Why does this sound like the same thing you did?"

The ox and horse nudged Liu Zheng in the back with their horns.

Expanding his network and leveraging external forces—isn't that why this kid has been able to stir up trouble in the metropolis in such a short time?

"That's right. That's why I value him."

Yorozuya said.

"How about it? Want to join my Yorozuya (Odd Jobs Shop)? Deliveryman Boss."

it asked.

How do I join?

Liu Zheng asked.

There are two ways.

"The first method is like now: you ask me to do something, and I'll ask you to do something. The two tasks may not be of equal difficulty, but they will definitely suit you. Payment first, delivery later."

"The second way is for you to become a member of Yorozuya. I will regularly assign you tasks, and you will earn member points upon completion. When you assign tasks, you will be paid using your member points. Considering all factors, members can also apply for installment payments using their points, paying after receiving the goods."

Yorozuya explained in detail.

"What if the assigned task cannot be completed?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"You can submit a reason why you can't complete it. If I approve it, I will give you a different task. But if I can't approve it, I will deduct points from your account as appropriate."

"When your points reach zero, if you are unable to complete the tasks again, your membership will be cancelled."

Yorozuya said.

"In what sense is this cancellation?"

He asked cautiously.

"Of course, it's a literal cancellation. Even if they're not members, they're still valuable customers, and I'm not going to turn down their money."

The Yorozuya chuckled.

Based on that, the conditions at Yorozuya seem fairly lenient.

But after a brief moment of consideration, Liu Zheng still chose to refuse.

"I'm sorry, but I still choose the first option."

He said.

"Okay. It's alright. Many customers choose the first option; you're just one of them."

Yorozuya said in a friendly manner.

"So what do you want me to do?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Oh, it's simple, all you need to do is get me the head of a god."

"Boss of Yorozuya, aren't you giving me too much credit?"

He smiled bitterly.

Those who can be called gods by the Yorozuya are naturally not the native rulers of Atlantis; they must at least be beings of the level of the gods of the eight directions.

Liu Zheng has used up most of his trump cards. Forget about killing a god, he'll have a hard time even killing a fish.

"Of course not. I'm giving you this task because I'm confident you can complete it. Besides, you've actually done it once before."

Yorozuya shook his head.

"I did it? You don't mean to say..."

He had a bad feeling.

"That's right, it's Shao Yanming's head."

Yorozuya nodded, and Liu Zheng's anxiety finally subsided.

"Boss of Yorozuya, if I may ask, this mission wasn't issued by some real estate tycoon who wishes to remain anonymous, was it?"

He squinted and asked.

"Members' information is kept strictly confidential, so I cannot answer your question."

Yorozuya said.

However, the answer is already quite obvious.

Aside from the peacock, Liu Zheng couldn't think of anyone else who would specifically seek out the Yorozuya to post a mission requesting this thing.

"I'm afraid I can't complete this task."

He shook his head.

Si Xue would definitely ask him what he wanted Shao Yanming's head for, and he couldn't possibly lie.

Si Xue wasn't stupid; she would definitely guess that it was Kong Que who wanted it.

At that point, it would be a miracle if they didn't slap Liu Zheng to death; how could they possibly let Peacock get what she wanted?

"Why not give it a try?"

"I can't even try a little bit."

Although Si Xue wasn't the petty type of leader, she absolutely couldn't tolerate her subordinates exchanging glances with her mortal enemy, even if it was indirect.

"Okay, then I have one more task..."

Yorozuya said.

"You say."

"This is also very simple, you just need to catch a chicken."

Yorozuya said.

"What chicken?"

"A chicken named Napoleon."

Yorozuya replied.

"If you don't want to do business with me, you can just say so. Even if a deal falls through, we can still be on good terms."

Liu Zheng remained silent.

He arrested Napoleon; it would be a miracle if Napoleon hadn't arrested him.

Why would he need a randomized dice if he could defeat Napoleon? If he just plays it safe, he can outlast everyone else in terms of survival time.
