Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

The ox and horse said proudly.

“That’s very life-like.”

Liu Zheng squinted and said.

"That's right, let me tell you, back in the day, this old man..."

Just as Niu Ma was about to boast about his great achievements, the phone rang.

"Huh? Didn't you just get back? Why are you being called away again?"

It glanced at the incoming call number and asked curiously.

"It might not be me they're calling; it could be you they're asking you to go."

Liu Zheng pretended to be confused even though he knew the truth.

"Bullshit, the boss has almost never summoned me for a private meeting."

Niu Ma retorted while answering the phone.

"Good evening, boss. Oh? Okay, I'll be right there."

It nodded repeatedly.

"That's strange, they really are looking for me. Hey kid, do you have any leads?"

Niu Ma asked somewhat guiltily.

"Don't worry, the boss is in a great mood today, it can't be anything bad."

Liu Zheng comforted him.

"Hmph, that's for the best. If I'm unlucky, you'll be the second one to be unlucky."

After threatening him, Niu Ma left the lounge.

As soon as it went out, Liu Zheng immediately plopped down on the haystack, deliberately rubbed against it a couple of times, and then called the Spider Weaver.

"Squeaky!!!"

The Spider Woman descended from the shadows, her tone somewhat agitated, as if complaining about being disturbed so late at night.

"Stop yelling, look at this, can you sew it again?"

Liu Zheng took out a simple phoenix cloak and asked.

"Squeak!"

The Spider Maiden called out twice, but did not open her eyes.

"We're so close, yet he's still so socially awkward. It's such a hassle."

He complained a couple of times, but still obediently closed his eyes.

There's nothing he can do; now it's his turn to beg.

"Squeak!"

The Spider Maiden chirped smugly twice, then took the cloak and studied it for a while.

"How about it?"

Liu Zheng suddenly opened his eyes and asked.

"squeak!"

The Spider Maiden was so frightened that she quickly closed her eyes, first nodding, then shaking her head.

"Can you sew it up by nodding?"

he guessed.

The Spider Weaver nodded.

"Does shaking your head mean you need the spirit thread again?"

He then made a guess.

The Spider Weaver nodded in agreement.

"I knew it. Speaking of which, you've managed to become the head tailor at the Bloody Restaurant, you should be more capable than your uncle, so how come he can create spirit threads but you can't?"

Liu Zheng asked, half complaining and half puzzled.

Chapter 570 Just a few dried fish, why risk your life?

"Squeak!"

The Spider Woman raised her forelimbs, pointed at Liu Zheng's tentacles, and then at the cloak.

"Zhizhizhi?"

Liu Zheng wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt like it rolled its eyes.

"You mean, you have so many hands, and I have so many hands, so why can't I sew a cloak?"

He was trying to guess what the Spider Weaver meant.

"squeak!"

The Spider Weaver nodded.

"How can that be the same? Everyone has their own expertise. Although I can't sew, I can massage with speed as fast as the wind and slowness as gentle as the forest."

Liu Zheng said proudly.

"Squeak?"

Spiderwoman pointed to his legendary takeout box.

The meaning is obvious: Aren't you a food delivery driver? What, is your specialty massage?

"You don't understand. Delivering food is a comprehensive job. Only by mastering various skills that can impress customers can you get them to accept the food willingly or without hesitation."

Liu Zheng said in a very serious tone.

"Squeak?"

Spider-Weaver scratched her head, looking like she felt something was wrong but couldn't quite put her finger on it.

"Just study it; there's a lot to learn here."

He waved his hand and said.

"Squeak."

The Spider Maiden nodded, bewildered.

"By the way, where are my coat and hat?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Squeak!"

The Spider Maiden spat out two silk packets.

It sucked back the spider silk, inside which was the fully repaired coat and hat.

"Very good. Well done."

He picked up the coat and hat, and casually touched the spider maiden's head as encouragement, which startled her so much that she shrank back immediately.

"Am I that scary?"

Liu Zheng watched the Spider Weaver disappear into the darkness, somewhat speechless.

Both the salmon and the vampire girl seemed to be enjoying themselves.

With nothing else to do, he lay down on the haystack and started reading the newspaper.

He watched for a while, and then he fell asleep.

When Liu Zheng woke up, it was already the next morning, which was his tenth day in the metropolis.

"It's so comfortable."

He first stretched before opening his eyes, and then saw the cattle and horses sleeping soundly on the haystack.

"what?"

Liu Zheng looked at himself again and saw a huge hoof print on the legendary deliveryman vest.

A sense of foreboding rose in his heart, and he quickly took out his serrated butcher knife and looked at it in the mirror.

Sure enough, there were two incomplete hoof prints on both sides of his face, and his cheeks were swollen.

"Sigh~"

Only then does the pain belatedly begin.

Liu Zheng was both speechless and impressed.

How did the ox and horse manage to beat him up and move him to a different spot without waking him up?

"Oh, right, the horsewhip."

Liu Zheng looked at the lower body of the ox or horse, but saw that it had its rear end tightly clenched, so he couldn't see it at all.

"Tch, they're all grown men, who are they trying to guard against?"

He curled his lips.

I took out my phone and checked the time; it was exactly six in the morning.

After thinking about it, he decided to call Yoko first.

Now that we've got a day off, it's time to put our trip to the Ten Thousand Mountains on the agenda. We need to do the preliminary preparations first to avoid wasting time.

"what happened?"

Yoko's voice still sounds so energetic.

"You look so energetic, I thought you were still sleeping."

Liu Zheng laughed.

"Some guests like to come for a hot spring bath in the morning."

Yoko explained.

"Then what about your sleep time?"

"Just take a nap whenever you have a spare moment, what else can you do?"

Yoko said helplessly.

“It must be really tough. How about I introduce you to a job in the city? If you want to stay in the bathhouse district, you can go to the ‘Gaga Shuang’ bathhouse.”

he suggested.

"Anywhere is pretty much the same for people in this line of work, unless business is bad. You don't need to worry about me. As long as my brother-in-law is still here, I'll just be a little tired at most, nothing else."

Yoko shook her head.

She wasn't the type to rely on others, otherwise she would have asked her sister to get her a job in the city long ago.

Did Grandma Tang cause you any trouble afterward?

"After being whipped ten times and taking eight doses of medicine given by the old man, I'm almost fully recovered."

Yoko replied.

"That's good. Are Uncle Hachijo and the others all doing well?"

"Everything is fine. By the way, Uncle Hachijo said that if you still remember to call back, I should tell you that he needs to talk to you."

Yoko remembered and said.

Is it urgent?

"They don't seem to be in a hurry."

"Then let him wait. By the way, did your sister tell you that your brother-in-law might be transferred to another department?"

Liu Zheng asked.
