Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

"The hearts of elders are truly pitiful."

Liu Zheng looked at him with sympathy, then quickly put the incense sticks into the stubble of the severed mandarin ducks.

"Hmph, the more I look at you, the more I hate you. Let's go, let's get out of here."

Eight said through gritted teeth.

"Let's go!"

After playing a few more rounds of Golden Dumplings, he left the Hyakki Gyokai under the auspices of Hachijo.

Back at the "Ga Ga Shuang" bathhouse, Yuan Bao'er arranged another lavish meal for him.

Considering that his physical reserves were indeed insufficient, Liu Zheng did not refuse.

"How are the talks with the Stone Spirit clan going?"

Yuan Bao'er asked as she poured him the wine.

"The deal is basically done, but the other party only agreed to provide assistance and does not want to get too involved."

Liu Zheng showed the little skull that Shi Tiantian had given him.

“I understand. We are the outsiders, and they are the locals. We make a scene and then run away, while they still have to make a living in the mountains.”

"That's what I mean. Mr. Yuan, I'll make a phone call."

He waved his phone to indicate.

"Please go ahead, Mr. Liu."

Yuan Bao'er put another large pork knuckle into his bowl, then sat back down in her seat.

"Is that Boss Liu Zheng?"

The call connected, but the sound coming from the other end wasn't that of cattle or horses.

"you are?"

"Hello, boss, this is Niu Sanji. My brother is soaking in herbal medicine, and my mother asked me to look after him."

The person on the other end introduced themselves.

"Oh, hello. How's Daji doing?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"My brother's condition has stabilized. But it seems like there's some other medicine at work in his body, and we've tried to get rid of it but haven't been able to."

Niu Sanji said.

"I know that. You don't need to worry about it, I'll figure something out."

He thought about it and decided not to tell Niu Sanji about the blood of the sandworm.

After Niu Daji wakes up, he will tell Niu Daji, and the latter can decide whether or not to tell the family.

"Ok."

Niu Sanji wisely refrained from asking further questions.

How long will it take for Daji to fully recover?

Liu Zheng asked.

“My mother said it would take at least three days and three nights, but if we could get some more precious medicinal herbs, it would be much faster, but we don’t have any at home.”

Niu Sanji said somewhat embarrassedly.

The Niu family's economic situation can only be considered moderately well-off, and their family tradition is relatively cautious, so their reserves of wound medicine are not very comprehensive.

"Tell me what other medicinal herbs you need?"

Liu Zheng took out paper and pen from the broken mandarin duck pouch.

Considering that he would need it in the future, he directly asked Yoko for a large quantity.

Five-leaf clover, tiger bone, and black toad venom.

Liu Zheng wrote down all the necessary medicinal herbs and then handed the list to Yuan Bao'er.

"I'll call the Bai family right away to deliver the goods, and then I'll contact the Niu family to pick them up."

Yuan Bao'er glanced at the list and said.

The Bai family is one of the five families outside the pass, mainly engaged in the medical industry and the business of medicinal materials.

"Thank you, Mr. Yuan."

"We are all family, why be polite?"

Yuan Bao'er said reproachfully.

"Um, Sanji, is it convenient for me to go take a look now?"

Liu Zheng felt a chill run down his spine and quickly changed the subject.

"Uh, boss, I'm afraid it's not convenient."

Niu Sanji scratched his head and said.

Since the ancestors of the Niu family had secured a stable job for their descendants, they naturally wouldn't forget to provide them with a safe haven as well.

"Okay. Contact me if anything comes up."

Liu Zheng hung up the phone and then entered a frenzied eating mode.

After he had eaten and drunk his fill, he left Bath Street and returned to the Bloody Restaurant.

Chapter 581 It's you humans who are truly perverted!

"You're finally back, kid. I thought you'd finally run away."

As soon as they entered the lounge, Niu Ma spoke loudly.

"Hey boss, keep your voice down, the whole restaurant can hear you."

Liu Zheng remained silent.

"What? You dare to do it but not let the cattle and horses talk about it? I can keep quiet, but you have to pay me hush money."

The oxen and horses stretched out their hooves.

"Then you should speak louder. I have nothing to hide.

He spoke with his head held high and chest out.

Although his money was originally intended for cattle and horses, it didn't stop him from enjoying seeing them want something but not being able to have it.

"You're a licentious bastard! Do you know how many takeout meals I've delivered for you while you've been fooling around outside?"

The ox and horse exclaimed excitedly.

"Seize the young master?"

"A whole order!"

The ox or horse raised one hoof.

"Putting aside the fact that delivering food is your job, how did you manage to use the word 'how many' for a single order?"

Liu Zheng remained silent.

"So what if it was just one order? Do you even know who I delivered that order to?"

"Who? Could it be a peacock?"

He frowned, then relaxed his brow.

If it were a peacock, the cattle and horses wouldn't look completely unharmed.

"No, but it's not much better than a peacock. That one was for Lord Longyang."

"The ox and horse said."

"Who is Lord Longyang? Oh, I think I know."

Liu Zheng seemed to be deep in thought.

According to the Strategies of the Warring States, Lord Longyang was the male favorite of the King of Wei.

One day, King Wei went fishing with him, but while fishing, he started crying again.

The King of Wei was puzzled and asked him why he was crying.

Lord Longyang said, "Your Majesty, I was very happy when I first caught a big fish, but when I caught an even bigger fish, I found the fish I had caught before in the way and just wanted to throw it away."

Although I am now favored by the king, sooner or later a more beautiful woman will come to serve the king, and then I will become a discarded fish.

Then the King of Wei would definitely say something like, "My beauty, how could you do this?"

As for whether Lord Longyang was ultimately abandoned like that fish, there are no historical records to support that.

In short, he became the earliest representative of male homosexuality and even gained the idiom "longyang zhi hao" (meaning "homosexual love").

"Wow, boss, you won't get... done by him!"

Liu Zheng looked at the cattle and horses with sympathy.

Although Longyang Jun is definitely good-looking and should be a bottom, who says a bottom can't force a top?

"Hmph, the first thing he did when he opened the door was to compliment my looks. Everyone knows that. Then he complimented my horns and asked how I take care of them, saying he also wanted to get a fake one. Then he said I looked like I was good at working out and asked me to help him out."

"Then we sat down to eat, and then we started drinking. Luckily, I can hold my liquor well and reacted in time, otherwise I would have been in trouble with him."

"I'm still shaken," Niu Ma said.

"He's alright, at least he didn't resort to force."

He chuckled.

"Hmph! If it comes to force, I'll just stab him to death with one corner."

"No way, what if he's a masochist and he sticks his butt out on your horn?"

Liu Zheng kindly reminded him.

"Holy crap!"

The ox and horse were taken aback at first, then let out a cry of surprise.

"You humans are the ones who are truly perverted."

The thought of that scene made it shudder, and it gritted its teeth as it spoke.

"I think we humans are the conscience and bottom line of the metropolis."

Liu Zheng squinted and said.

Human abnormalities are mainly driven by various desires and inspired by the environment, while these non-human behaviors stem from instinct or even rules.

If it weren't for the fact that humans make up the majority in the city hall, subtly influencing the values ​​of the entire metropolis, the metropolis might have become a chaotic mess.

"I'm too lazy to discuss such pointless issues with you. Just give me the money."

The oxen and horses stretched their hooves again.

"what money?"

"Compensation for emotional distress."

"The ox and horse said."

"You didn't get what you wanted from Lord Longyang, did you?"

"But I was hurt by his words and expressions. He said, 'Give me the money, or I'll forcibly recall you if there's another order like this.'"

The cattle and horses threatened.

What is a mandatory recall?

"If a delivery driver lingers outside for too long after delivering the food, I, as the department head, can initiate a mandatory recall. If the driver fails to return within the stipulated time, I can punish that driver."

"The ox and horse said."

"Holy crap, you had that trick up your sleeve? You never told me about it before."
