Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

The calico cat walked over and spun around to show itself off.

Its movements were quite agile and were not affected by the clothes. It was hard to tell whether this was because it was strong enough or because it had gotten used to the clothes.

Judging from the newness and wear of the clothes, it should be the latter.

"So pretty, so cute!"

Liu Zheng nodded frantically, his mouth practically watering.

If a calico cat's cuteness level is 10, then a dinosaur costume's cuteness level is 5, and a calico cat wearing a dinosaur costume has a cuteness level that is the product of the two, 50 points!

"Really? Won't others look down on you?"

The calico cat asked rather unsure of itself.

Its owner, the pond owner, was originally a homebody. After arriving at the Bloody Restaurant, he became even more isolated from the world. He really didn't know about the current aesthetics and trends in the metropolis.

"No way, if anyone dares to look down on you, I'll gouge out their eyes and let them play marbles."

Liu Zheng said fiercely.

"Liu Zheng is so nice~"

The calico cat happily rubbed against his trouser leg.

"Hehehe~"

Liu Zheng smiled like a proud father.

"That's a really weird laugh."

The pond owner said disdainfully.

"That's called spoiling."

He corrected the other person's statement.

"It's not your pet, you don't need to pamper it."

The pond owner once again asserted his sovereignty.

"Cats are everyone's treasures, and everyone should cherish them."

Liu Zhengyi said sternly.

"Then why don't you let someone else pamper it?"

"That won't do, they don't deserve it."

He said it without hesitation.

"hehe."

The pond owner rolled his eyes.

As a die-hard calico cat lover, how could he not know what Liu Zheng was thinking?

“It’s inconvenient for me to come out here. Since you brought the salmon out, you have to protect it. If it loses even a single hair, I’ll bite off one of your tentacles.”

The pond owner warned.

"I will do my best. But the situation may have changed a bit now."

Liu Zheng sighed and briefly recounted his grievances with the peacock.

"You little brat, you actually want salmon to die for you? You're tired of living!"

Upon hearing this, the pond owner immediately flew into a rage, his hair standing on end.

"If I thought that way, I wouldn't have told you."

He shook his head.

"I don't care. Salmon, grab the bucket, let's go back."

"The pond owner gave the order."

“Master, I want to go with Liu Zheng.”

The salmon made its own sound while the pond owner was speaking, which is quite rare.

"Salmon, be good. This human wants you to go to your death with him. He's very, very bad. Let's not fall for his trick."

The pond owner paused for a moment, then said in a high-pitched voice.

"Liu Zheng wouldn't do that. The boss said he's a stupidly good guy."

The "oldest man" that salmon is referring to is naturally Napoleon.

"You don't actually need to learn swear words."

Liu Zheng squinted and said.

Even if that's not what he thought, that's the truth. He did help you a little, but you've already repaid him enough. You have no obligation or reason to accompany him to do such a dangerous thing.

The pond owner continued to persuade him.

"But I want to meow~ I already have an owner, but I also want a friend, can't I meow?"

The salmon lowered its head and said pitifully.

Two strings of glistening tears dripped down its whiskers, wetting the ground.

"Yes, yes, of course! We salmon can do anything! Don't cry, don't cry."

The pond owner couldn't hold back any longer and quickly said...

"You stupid goody-two-shoes, aren't you going to try and appease it?"

Seeing that the salmon showed no sign of stopping crying, he quickly called out to Liu Zheng.

"You don't need to learn to swear, do you?

Liu Zheng picked up the salmon speechlessly, supporting its rear end with one hand and scratching its chin with the other.

"Salmon, be good. Your owner has agreed to let you come with me. Don't cry. If you cry and your fur gets all tangled, you won't be the cutest kitten in the whole metropolis anymore."

He said gently.

"No, meow! Then I won't cry, meow."

The salmon instantly stopped crying.

"My master is the best, meow~ I love my master the most, meow~"

It said in a sweet voice.

"My owner loves salmon the most, meow~"

The pond owner couldn't suppress his smile as he spoke.

“But Salmon, you really don’t have to come with me. You’re my best friend, and I don’t want to put you in danger.”

After they finished showing off their affection, Liu Zheng said seriously.

If we're talking about deep relationships, then it's definitely like cattle and horses and plane trees, but their relationship is ultimately complicated by superior-subordinate dynamics and vested interests.

The calico cat and his friendship, however, were much purer.

"The boss told me that next time we go abroad, I'll go with you again, meow."

The calico cat licked its paws and said.

Chapter 489 System, you schemed against me!

"I guessed that."

Liu Zheng nodded.

"So Liu Zheng will protect my cat?"

The calico cat raised its head, blinked its big eyes, and asked.

"Of course, even if you don't come with me this time, I will still protect you."

He patted the kitten's head and said.

“My mother said that a dog will only have one owner and one friend in its entire life. You have to give your friend the last piece of poop to eat before it will give you the last bone to gnaw on.”

The calico cat said.

"Judging from your example, your mother isn't a cat, is she?"

Liu Zheng twitched the corner of his mouth.

"Of course not, meow. My mom is a German Shepherd, and she's really handsome, meow."

The calico cat said proudly.

"The fact that you can still like dried fish shows that the power of genes is still very strong."

He squinted and said.

"By the way, she's not your biological mother, is she?"

"I don't know, meow. I only have one mom, meow."

The calico cat shook its head.

"Okay. It's fine, having one mom is enough."

He doesn't have any yet.

"Alright, enough talk. Take this."

The pond owner opened his mouth and spat out a turtle shell the size of a palm.

"what is this?"

Liu Zheng picked up the tortoise shell, but no item description popped up.

"You don't need to worry about what it is. If you really encounter a life-or-death crisis, just recite 'When will I shed my shell and be reborn as a human?'"

"That's what the pond owner said."

"and then?"

"Then you can run away with the salmon. With your regenerative abilities and the physique of a thousand-year-old turtle spirit, as long as the peacock doesn't want to destroy the Imperial View Villa, it shouldn't be able to kill you. You should also have some extraordinary items for escaping, right?"

"The pond owner asked."

"some."

Not only there are, but there are several.

"That's good. Use it immediately if things go wrong, don't hesitate."

The pond owner gave instructions.

"Will this turtle shell cause any long-term effects?"

"After using it, you will turn into a stone turtle. Only after absorbing enough essence of the sun and moon can you regain your mobility."

"That's what the pond owner said."

"I knew it."

Liu Zheng squinted and said.

If there were no aftereffects, why would I have given it to him instead of a calico cat?

"You're complaining now? This turtle shell is a treasure in the sewers, and it took me a lot of effort to get it. I wouldn't have given it to you if it weren't for the salmon."

The pond owner rolled his eyes at him.

"Can this be taken off?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Sure, if someone can break the tortoise shell, they can take it off. Of course, you'll be dead by then."

"Is there no other way?"

He asked with a frown.

"Yes, the answer lies in the activation spell."
