Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

"La Atum".

The Nile doctor's voice gradually faded into the distance.

"Great Sun God Ra Atum, I pray for your protection and blessings, so that I may better help your believers and spread your power."

He said silently in his heart.

Over and over again, he suddenly felt like he was being pricked by thorns.

Soon, Liu Zheng realized that it wasn't just a feeling.

One after another, sharp and scorching needles pierced his body, filling him with the intense sunlight from the inside out.

"Great sun god Ra-Atum, I pray for your mercy and compassion, that I may share happiness with your people and transfer suffering to your enemies."

Liu Zheng continued to mutter to himself.

Soon, the intense heat that had almost burned him gradually cooled down, turning into a lingering warmth like the setting sun.

Finally, the lingering warmth gradually faded, turning into a slight chill like the moonlight.

"It's done!"

The Nile doctor's voice came through again.

Then the sound of the coffin lid opening rang out, and a hand reached in and pulled him out.

"Hmm, why is the radiance of my Lord so gentle this time?"

The Nile doctor looked at his hand in surprise.

"It's probably because I'm good at flattering people."

Liu Zheng told him his prayer.

"You little rascal!"

The Nile doctor was speechless.

By priestly standards, Liu Zheng's prayer was not particularly good.

But for a non-believer, his prayers were very pleasing to God.

"Wait a minute, isn't Ra not a woman?"

The Nile doctor thought of an important question.

In any case, Ra is depicted as a male god in both classical texts and sculptures.

In the limited communication, Ra's tone was more like that of a male god.

But as the creator god, He also possesses the divine nature of a mother goddess.

"No, no, I can't think about it anymore."

The Nile doctor shook the bandage head vigorously, interrupting his blasphemous thoughts.

"Alright, the ritual is complete. 'Ra's Grace' will activate automatically once you suffer a fatal injury."

He said this to Liu Zheng, and a system notification sounded.

"Gain the 'Grace of Ra' status."

Status: Grace of Ra

"Effect: When encountering fatal damage, it negates the fatal damage and restores the player to the best condition. It disappears after being triggered once and lasts for one instance."

"Brilliant!"

Liu gave a thumbs up in his mind.

Not only can it revive, but it also restores status, and there's no duration to it—truly a blessing worthy of a god.

"How is it? Are you satisfied?"

"The Nile doctor asked."

"I'm so satisfied, so very satisfied. Doctor, you're my eternal god."

He gave a thumbs-up with his tentacles.

"Don't say that. It is the power of my Lord. I am just a servant who carries out His will."

The Nile doctor said this, but the bandages on his face wrinkled from laughing.

"The gods belong to the gods, and mortals belong to mortals. I will never forget your kindness, doctor."

Liu Zheng said earnestly.

"Alright, alright, why say so many mushy things? I know what kind of person you are."

Nile rubbed his arm, feeling goosebumps rising on the bandage.

"Doctor, I'm back. Here's the royal jelly and dragon dung you requested. Ah, boss, you've arrived!"

Niu Daji, who had just returned from outside, exclaimed in surprise.

"Dragon dung?"

Liu Zheng looked at the urea bag in its hand, and a faint sense of danger emanated from it.

"What the scarab beetles eat is food, and what they excrete is medicine. The effects of the medicine vary depending on the type of excrement they consume."

The Nile doctor explained.

"What medicinal effects does dragon dung produce?"

he asked.

"I don't know, this is my first time using dragon dung. If you want to know, you can come and test the medicine yourself."

"The Nile doctor suggested."

"I'll talk about it later."

Liu Zheng really wanted to refuse, but he had to admit that he was indeed a little tempted.

That's a dragon! Even dragon dung is a treasure.

"By the way, is this a Western dragon or an Eastern dragon?"

he asked.

"I don't know. I just heard that the merchant was selling dragon dung today, so I sent Niu Daji to steal it. Niu Daji, did they say it was dragon dung?"

"The Nile doctor asked."

"The shop assistant said it was dragon dung from a coiled dragon."

Niu Daji replied.

A coiled dragon is a dragon that lies dormant on the ground and has not yet ascended to the heavens. It is one level lower than a true dragon and is on par with a jiaolong (a type of dragon).

"Okay, I'll be the one to test the drug then."

How can the dung of a coiled dragon be called dragon dung? It's called a panacea!

"Doctor, you won't need it later, right?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"He's your own subordinate anyway, use him if you want."

"It's like Dr. Nile says indifferently."

It turns out he handles everything himself. Having a cleaner and Niu Daji makes things more convenient, but they're not indispensable.

"Okay. Daji, put your things away and come with me to take care of some business."

Liu Zheng raised his chin at Niu Daji.

"okay."

Niu Daji shouted excitedly, then quickly went to the storeroom to put the things away and came out.

Working odd jobs at the clinic was certainly comfortable; although the Nile doctors didn't pay a salary, they would still give tips, and there was good food and drink too.

But the reason he gave up his secure job and went to the city was that he wanted to do something big.

Continuing to work at the clinic is another kind of secure job.

So, when Liu Zheng took it out on errands, it was very happy.

"Boss, who are we going to kill?"

As Niu Daji climbed into the back seat after leaving the clinic, he asked with great interest.

"Why is your mind filled with fighting and killing? I, your boss, do everything based on reason and persuasion. If I can reason with people, I will never resort to chemotherapy. You should also be more mindful in the future and be more courteous in public, understand?"

He lectured.

"Uh, I understand."

Niu Daji said, feeling aggrieved.

What can it say? As the little brother, it does whatever the boss says.

Anyway, it felt that at least the people of the Hundred Ghosts Sect wouldn't agree with their boss's words.

"I brought you along this time to negotiate with the Extreme Flavor Group."

Liu Zheng nodded in satisfaction, and then said.

Since he came to the Metropolis, anyone can control him and boss him around.

Now I can finally experience being the boss, that's all I need to say.

So damn cool!

"Talking about numbers? What did the Extreme Flavor Group do?"

Niu Daji asked in confusion.

Aren't the Extreme Flavor Group friends of the boss? They even came over to help fight, so how did a conflict suddenly arise?

"It's a work-related matter."

"Could it be that...?! The members of the Extreme Flavor Group were forced to deliver takeout?"

Niu Daji is just a little simple-minded, not really stupid.

Since Liu Zheng had already explained it this way, it naturally understood.

Liu Zheng remained silent, everything was understood without being spoken.

"There's nothing we can do about it. It's not like you wanted this, boss. If you don't deliver this food, you'll die. The people in the Extreme Flavor Group should understand that, right?"

Niu Daji, however, was sitting very upright.

Although it had a good impression of the Extreme Flavor Group and was also terrified of being forced to deliver to the Bloody Restaurant, since it was Liu Zheng's subordinate, it naturally had to speak up for Liu Zheng.

"They just have different perspectives. So, all we can do is try to reach a consensus."

Liu Zheng said.

"What if we can't reach a consensus?"

Niu Daji asked.

"Then we can only settle our scores with fists."

He sighed.

As long as the Extreme Flavor Group doesn't kill, he definitely won't kill either.

However, regardless of the outcome, the two sides will certainly never be able to return to the state of sincere cooperation they once had.

"Damn restaurant."

Sensing Liu Zheng's sadness, Niu Daji began to curse loudly.

"You bastard, how dare you compare a restaurant to a dog?!"

Liu Zheng rebuked angrily.
