Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

Liu Zheng protested his innocence.

"Even if it wasn't you who ordered it, it's still related to you. No one had ever ordered potato delivery before you came."

The white-feathered chicken wouldn't listen to his explanation at all.

"In that case, could the head chef lend me another kitchen knife?"

He rolled his eyes and said.

"Didn't you have two knives?"

"The boning knife was melted down by the boss. The butcher's knife was too vulgar and didn't suit your taste."

Liu Zheng said.

"Boss, you really are favored by important people."

The white-feathered chicken said with a hint of sourness.

"Yes, the head chef, the elder brother, and the big boss, you three big bosses really dote on me."

他笑眯眯地说道。

"I am not qualified to be compared with those big shots."

White Feather Chicken sneered, then took off his chef's hat and took out a strange-looking kitchen knife.

The knife is shaped like a traditional Chinese cleaver, but the blade is covered with a layer of red rust that looks like scales, and the handle is so rusted that it's only as thick as a chopstick, making one wonder if it would break with a single swing.

"I'll give you one day. If you don't complete my task today, even if the entire Bloody Restaurant is on your side, I will still kill you."

The white-feathered rooster gripped the knife handle and pointed the tip at Liu Zheng, but the aura emanating from it was even sharper than the blade, causing the cattle, horses, and white geese to turn their heads in surprise.

Liu Zheng took the rusty knife, and the item description immediately popped up.

Name: Anger

Type: Equipment

Quality: Perfect

"Effect 1: When equipped, the player will become extremely irritable."

"Effect 2: When the player is angry enough, the item will be unlocked into the 'Seven Deadly Sins - Wrath' form."

Note: Citizen, why aren't you angry!

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

"Goodness, 'irritability' plus a 'furious' kitchen knife, he's really become a martial arts maniac."

He looked at the item's effect and complained.

"Don't give it back to me."

The white-feathered rooster made a gesture as if to take it back.

"Yes, yes, yes! The head chef is so kind to me, how could I possibly refuse?"

Liu Zheng smiled obsequiously.

The perfect-level equipment still needs further unlocking, and it's easy to imagine that the "Seven Deadly Sins: Wrath" form must be incredibly powerful.

"By the way, when you said you'd lend me a day, does that mean it starts from now?"

he asked tentatively.

If that's the case, then he can use the time until tomorrow.

"Dream on. I'll come to pick up the knife at midnight sharp."

The white-feathered chicken thwarted his plans.

"Alright. But head chef, could we postpone the operation a little longer?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"why?"

"That's it"

He explained the effects of "Black Carp Dragon's Relic" and "Disordered Dice".

"I'll scratch all the scratch-off tickets first, win the grand prize right in front of that guy, and then kill him. Wouldn't that be even more devastating?"

Liu Zheng said.

"Um"

The white-feathered pheasant wavered upon hearing this.

"You can choose a prize from the prize pool at that time."

He set a price.

"Three days, I'll give you a maximum of three days."

After hesitating for a moment, the white-feathered chicken raised three feathers.

"No problem. If I fail to complete the mission, I will simply disappear from this world."

Liu Zheng said with certainty.

"very good."

The white-feathered pheasant proudly raised its head, then turned and left.

"Sigh, I regret it."

The big white goose suddenly sighed.

"What's wrong, big brother?"

Liu Zheng immediately asked.

"If I had known, I wouldn't have insisted on giving you free makeup, otherwise I could have won a prize too."

The white goose smiled wryly.

"What's the value of a prize? Just pick whatever you like, Big Brother."

He struck a pose of boundless pride.

"That's so embarrassing."

The big white goose said shyly.

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. Our senior brother has worked so hard for the restaurant and has also taken great care of us juniors. This is just a small token of our appreciation, and we're afraid he won't appreciate it."

"Then, I'll have to feel bad?"

The white goose's beak curled slightly.

"Please make sure we can give you something in return."

Liu Zheng said sincerely.

"Alright, then I'll accept your offer."

The big white goose laughed.

"However, since you've made the offer, I should reciprocate in kind."

It opened the suitcase and took out a small jar.

Liu Zheng took the small jar, but no item description popped up.

"This is?"

He looked at the white goose with a questioning gaze.

"When it comes to using cosplay costumes, no one among the living employees knows more about it than me."

The white goose first boasted a bit, then continued.

"This is a nutrient solution. Just pour it onto the cosplay costume, and it will activate the costume to a level that is no less powerful than the original costume in a very short time."

"Of course, the trade-off is that the cosplay outfit will be destroyed after the activation period ends."

"How short is 'extremely short time'?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"I don't know. Cosplay costumes are more valuable than you think. We don't have that many samples for statistics."

The big white goose shook its head.

"However, the longest I've ever seen is no more than three minutes."

Three minutes is a huge loss compared to the original one-hour duration, but having all the power of the original body in a short time is a huge gain.

Whether it's a loss or a gain depends on how he uses it.

"Thank you, big brother."

Liu Zheng hugged his hand and said.

Regardless of what malicious intentions the white goose may be harboring, at least for now it is helping him.

"It's only right to mentor younger generations. By the way, I heard you're going abroad again?"

"It's a big white goose," the goose suddenly said.

"That seems to be the case."

He replied with a calm expression, but his mind instantly became alert.

"You're in the delivery department, and salmon is in the kitchen. Now, the only staffing issue is in our customer service department, which is causing the British minister a lot of trouble."

"The big white goose said leisurely."

"The British minister is meticulous and strategic; he will surely make the most correct decision."

Liu Zheng offered a flattering remark from afar.

"Of course, but we can't let the Minister of Britain be the only one with this headache. As a member of the customer service department, I should do my part. What do you think, how about I go with you?"

The white goose's pure black pupils suddenly stared straight at him, sending chills down his spine.

"That would be great. With Big Brother around, we can rest easy."

Liu Zheng said with delight.

"Really?"

"real."

"No buts?"

"No buts."

"Then I'll go back and volunteer myself, okay?"

“If the British minister disagrees, I will be the first to plead for you.”

He said this with righteous indignation.

"Haha, you sure know how to talk a good game. What right do you, someone from the food delivery department, have to interfere with our customer service department's personnel arrangements?"

The big white goose tapped him with the tip of its wing.

"Forget it, as the saying goes, old age is no excuse for physical limitations. I'm too old and don't know much about the outside world. Going out would only hold you back. Let the British minister make the arrangements himself."

"Okay, I'm leaving."

It shook its head and said.

"Take care, elder brother."

As Liu Zheng watched the white goose drag its suitcase away into the distance, his expression gradually turned cold.

"Boss, does it know?"

He asked about the cattle and horses.

"How would I know? But this old guy is deeply entrenched in the customer service department, so it's not surprising that he knows."

The oxen and horses didn't look well either.
