Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

"Okay, boss."

"Chili Head, you come with me."

Guo Kou Tangzi also gave instructions.

"Yes, eldest sister."

Niu Daji and Chili Head accepted the order and left.

"I'll be leaving the country again soon, is there anything suitable I should bring?"

Liu Zheng asked about the French plane tree.

"Why are you always targeting my collection? Can't you go somewhere else to get some?"

The plane tree expressed its dissatisfaction.

"The quality of goods elsewhere varies greatly, but none can compare to the quality, variety, and authenticity of what you offer."

He offered flattery.

"That's true. I'm not like those unscrupulous businessmen who are in it for profit. I'm doing it all to realize my artistic pursuits."

The plane tree in France finds its own way.

"That's that."

Although Liu Zheng didn't know what his collection of oddly shaped artifacts had to do with art.

"No, don't try to fool me, you cunning human."

The plane tree suddenly awoke.

"We've only known each other for a short time, and you've already swindled away almost half of my best collection. If this continues, I'll have to resort to peeling my own bark to sell as a collectible. Don't even think about getting anything else from me in exchange; even if you do, it'll only be for things that aren't that valuable."

It said angrily.

"Don't be so absolute. You're not just spending without taking anything in. Look at all the fine wines I gave you. If you can't resist drinking them, they'll be great collectibles too, won't they?"

Liu Zheng said with a smile.

"Idiot human, if I'm not going to drink it, why would I exchange it for these?"

The plane tree rolled its eyes.

"At least you still have the remains of the legendary deliveryman, right? That kind of artifact is one of a kind even in the Metropolis, isn't it?"

"Hmph, you underestimate the collectors of the Metropolitan Museum of Art."

The plane tree gave a disdainful snort.

"Even artifacts of the highest caliber are not unique in the Metropolis."

"And I have a feeling that sooner or later, Li's remains will return to your hands."

Chapter 478 contains the universal laws of the multiverse.

"Have your premonitions ever been correct?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"I don't know, this is the first time I've had a premonition."

"Then it's best not to approve it."

He squinted and said.

Although Liu Zheng also felt that if things continued to develop this way, he would inherit the legacy left by the legendary deliveryman, it would be best to wait until then.

If all else fails, he still has one ultimate move.

They absconded after settling accounts.

"Hmph, strong people like us who don't have the ability to divine, tell fortunes, or predict the future either have no premonitions at all, or our premonitions are frighteningly accurate."

The French plane tree threatened.

"Well, it's a good thing I'm mixed-race, so your prediction is only half right."

Liu Zheng said this with an air of seriousness.

"You crazy human. If you have nothing to do, then get out of here and don't delay my ballet lessons for Margaret."

"I can't stand it," the plane tree said impatiently.

"You don't even have legs, yet you want to teach dancing? You're just teaching legs."

he complained.

"None of your business. Are you leaving or not? If you don't, I'll tear your legs off and put them back on myself."

The plane trees are a threat.

"These are my hooves; they won't look good if you put them on while dancing. Alright, let's get down to business."

Liu Zheng pushed aside the two tree roots that were trying to bind his hooves.

"Then tell me quickly."

"I remember the auction is tomorrow, right?"

he asked.

"Yeah. What, you still want to participate?"

"Of course, how can we miss such a grand event? Since you don't want me to swap your things anymore, let's go to the auction house and find some treasures together."

Liu Zheng shrugged.

"Do you even have the ability?"

The plane tree spoke with a disdainful tone.

"I still have some money, and if it's not enough, I can borrow some."

He said.

Given his credit score, borrowing two or three million shouldn't be a problem.

"Borrowing money won't help."

The plane tree shook its head.

"How to say?"

"There are two types of auctions: one is normal bidding, and the other is barter. Tomorrow's auction will be a barter auction."

"It's a plane tree," said the French plane tree.

"You can only make up for it with money if the other party is willing to accept the item you provide, but its value is insufficient. Otherwise, it's useless no matter how much money you have."

"That's it"

Liu Zheng fell into thought.

If it's a barter system, then he really doesn't have the strength to participate.

All the extraordinary items he possesses are useful, and many of them are interconnected; losing even one would be a major blow.

Among the people Liu Zheng knew, apart from those with large families like Si Xue and those who liked collecting things like French plane trees, the rest of them wouldn't hoard extraordinary items they didn't need.

Metropolis is, after all, a place ruled by a powerful government, so hoarding cash is definitely more practical than hoarding supernatural items.

The Nile doctor should still have some goods, after all, he runs a clinic and has a priestly lineage.

Those relics belonging to the "descendants of Ra" were probably left to him as well.

"Indeed, doctors are the eternal gods."

Liu Zheng couldn't help but sigh.

"Hmm, we should be able to squeeze some profits out of the fishermen too."

He then thought of another goal.

Although the fisherman's stall only has fish and the results are rather limited, what if someone actually likes it?

For example, if a big cat buyer comes along, he'll make a fortune.

Thinking of this, Liu Zheng couldn't help but smile.

"Human, what kind of dream are you having with your eyes open?"

The plane tree woke him up by poking him with its roots.

"Ahem, it's nothing. Just take me with you anyway. Even if we don't get anything in return, it'll be good to broaden my horizons."

He said.

"Hmph, fine. Then come over before eight o'clock tomorrow night. You'd better be right on time, I hate seeing you."

The plane tree said disdainfully.

"Don't worry, the package arrived ahead of time. Well, Your Excellency Mr. Delegau, I have another request, but I don't know if I should say it."

Liu Zheng then revealed a fawning smile.

"Let the fart go."

"I can't stand it," the plane tree said impatiently.

"Could you please order some takeout for me the other day?"

He rubbed his tentacles together.

In the metropolis at night, Liu Zheng wouldn't dare go out without the boost from his legendary vest.

"roll!"

The plane tree tied his hooves with its roots and threw him into the air.

He's currently without the Legendary Vest buff, so this fall will definitely leave him completely disoriented.

"Boss!"

Niu Daji couldn't bear to see his boss fall to the ground, especially with other gangs watching. He quickly slid down to kneel beneath Liu Zheng and then stuck out his belly.

"Duang!"

Liu Zheng bounced off Niu Daji's big belly and rolled to the side.

"Well done."

He got up, patted Niu Daji on the shoulder, and praised him.

"hey-hey."

Niu Daji proudly patted his belly.

Who says you have to have eight-pack abs to be a real man? This kind of fatty muscle is much more useful than skinny muscles.

"The more you evolve, the less intelligent you become. If you hurt me by falling, you'll be the one in trouble."

Liu Zheng looked at the plane trees and complained.

The latter, however, was busy teaching the ginseng doll to dance and didn't listen to what he was saying at all.

"Alright, since you're being a good person, why don't you just take me back to the restaurant?"

He said this to the members of the Extreme Flavor Group.

After a slight hesitation, Guo Kou Tangzi nodded in agreement.

Anyway, we've already gotten the stuff, so whether it works or not, this matter is over.

If Liu Zhengzhen were to ambush them halfway through, and then Garlic Head still couldn't be cured, then they would truly have lost on both ends.

With the help of a group of talented individuals, he safely returned to the restaurant.

"Boss, do you have any unused supernatural items left?"

As soon as Liu Zheng entered the lounge, he asked.

"no!"

Niu Ma buried his head in the erotic magazine and said without looking up.
