Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

"So it was you, the human who delivers takeout. Are you finally going to keep your promise?"
Yaksha countered with a question.
"It'll be soon. I've already made a deal with the Stone Spirits of the Ten Thousand Mountains. They'll be our guides. I'll be heading to the Ten Thousand Mountains by tomorrow at the latest. I'm calling you so you can get ready."
Liu Zheng replied.
"Alright, I will definitely bring the best warriors to offer the grandest blood feast for the great Bloodhand Kane."
"Yaksha said excitedly."
"But let me make this clear: once we're in the Ten Thousand Mountains, you'll have to follow my orders, or don't blame me for being ruthless."
He poured a bucket of cold water on it.
"Human, I don't think you have the right to command us."
Yaksha would naturally disagree.
"Whether you're qualified or not, you'll find out in time. If you disagree, we'll have a fight first. Anyway, what you want is bloodshed, and so do your own."
Liu Zheng said coldly.
Unruly teammates are more dangerous than predictable opponents; he must resolve internal issues before heading into the mountains.
"I agree with your suggestion, human."
Yaksha replied with a cold laugh.
This arrogant human was right about one thing: the great Bloodhand Kane needed blood and slaughter, and it didn't matter whose blood it was.
"Then, the second thing. Do you know the witch Wolva from Ether Alley?"
Liu Zheng asked again.
“I know. She was a very powerful witch who once bought slaves from us and also exchanged knowledge about witchcraft with us.”
"Yaksha said."
"That's perfect, Your Excellency Priest, would you like to accompany me on a food delivery?"
He said with a grin.

"Human, do you know what you're saying?"
Even Yaksha was almost amused by him.
"You just said you wanted to fight us, and now you want me to help you deliver food. The fickleness of you humans is truly astonishing."
"How is this fickle? I ask you, are we enemies?"
Liu Zheng asked.
"You have prevented us from retrieving the corpses of the Wood Elf royal family."
Yaksha did not answer directly.
"The corpse of the Wood Elf royal family has been completely absorbed by the plane tree. Even if you burn the plane tree, you won't be able to burn out a single remains. Since the target of the conflict is gone, the conflict naturally disappears as well."
He shook his head and said.
"Then you force us to obey your orders, or else you'll wipe us out before we even enter the Ten Thousand Mountains."
"Yaksha said again."
"Are you now deciding to absolutely refuse to obey my orders?"
Liu Zheng countered with a question.
"No comment."
Yaksha replied indifferently.
"No comment means it hasn't been decided yet, and if it hasn't been decided, then it doesn't count. Besides, even if we were to eliminate you, that's a matter for tomorrow, and it doesn't affect our partnership today."
He said confidently.
"You won the argument, but you can't convince me. I hate you, human, so don't expect me to offer you any help beyond what's agreed upon."
Unable to win an argument, Yaksha chose to overturn the table.
"This may not be up to you."
Liu Zheng suddenly gave a wicked smile.
"What? Are you trying to threaten me with your connections again?"
Yaksha laughed disdainfully.
"Do you think we can survive in the slave market without connections? Don't let your fish die before our net is even broken."
If you're not good at using idioms, don't use them carelessly; it's embarrassing.
He squinted as he spoke.
"I don't want to listen to your nonsense anymore, human. Contact me when you have something important to say."
Yaksha was about to hang up the phone.
Have you ever heard of offering incense to the gods?
Liu Zheng asked.
"What it is?"
Yaksha's attention was indeed drawn.
“A rare and precious treasure. As long as you light it and recite its name, any deity will grant your assistance.”
"If I asked the great Bloodhand Kane to annihilate you, do you think He would agree?"
He said this with ill intent.
"Foolish human, do you really think that a mere stick of incense can compare to our faith in the Lord of War?"
Yaksha sneered.
"What if I also offer my faith to Him? Surely He doesn't only accept the faith of you dark elves?"
Liu Zheng countered with a question.
Generally speaking, these kinds of seemingly crazy deities often have no fixed stance; they will bless whoever pleases them.
"Naive human, you don't actually think that if you offer your faith to a god, the god will necessarily respond to you, do you?"
Yaksha was amused by his foolishness.
There is a very strict set of rituals for worshipping deities, especially for a deity like Bloodhand Kane, which is close to Tantric Buddhism.
In metropolitan areas, where deities are not welcomed, a successful ritual requires much more preparation.
Of course, there are also gods who are like prostitutes who accept all comers, but the great Lord of War is definitely not among them.
affim!
“But if I use incense to summon the gods, He will definitely respond to me. Isn’t what He wants blood and killing? As a deliveryman at a bloody restaurant, that’s the last thing I need.”
"I've killed gods, I've killed demonic gods, and I've slaughtered those company executives. I'm about to leave the country, and it's not impossible that I'll slaughter an entire world then."
"I want nothing else, I just want you dead. Do you want to experience being crushed by the god you believe in?"
"And the reason is not even because of your blasphemy or betrayal, but because of your arrogance and incompetence."
"It's really pathetic to think about it."
Liu Zheng stared at his phone screen as if he were staring at Yaksha's ashen face.
"And ridiculous."
He casually delivered the final, devastating blow, striking his opponent squarely in the heart.
"Human, if you..."
"Stop, I haven't finished."
Liu Zheng interrupted Yaksha.
"Of course, I always respect the culture and beliefs of my friends."
he continued.
"Especially races with a long history and a flourishing civilization like the Dark Elves."
"If you could invite the great Bloodhand Kane to descend with a grand ceremony, and let Him smell the incense of the invocation while watching you offer Him unprecedented sacrifices."
"Oh dear, I can't even imagine what kind of reward you will receive."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk!"
He let out an exaggerated exclamation.
"What kind of unprecedented offering are you referring to? Do you have a way to get us out of the country with you?"
"Yaksha asked."
"Of course not. But I believe you must have a way to collect the offerings on your behalf, right?"
"Yes, but I find it hard to believe you, human. So far, all you've given me are empty promises."
"Yaksha said."
"Then put aside your arrogance and suspicion, and cooperate with me properly this time. With the monsters of Mount Ooe as stepping stones, our trust will be much stronger."
Liu Zheng seized the opportunity to speak.
"If you are strong enough, human."
After all that talking, Yaksha finally relented.
"Okay, I'll head out now. You wait for me at Ether Alley."
He hung up the phone and left the lounge.
Opening the food container on the food cart revealed an enormous enamel pot filled with boiling oil, in which were swarms of browned maggots.
Each maggot is about half the size of a fist, with a round body covered in folds, and each fold contains tiny, sharp teeth.
Name: Supreme Oil-Sealed Maggot (Disposable)
Type: Item
Quality: Excellent
Effect 1: Restores a large amount of stamina.
Effect 2: To compensate for minor defects.
"Effect 3: Immunize against the negative effects of disordered environments for ten minutes."
"Note: Maggots cultivated from the flesh of a god-like monster are fragrant, soft, and burst with juice in every bite. They are so delicious that you'll want to slurp them up and stomp your feet in the process."
"Can it be taken out of the instance: Yes"
"Exemption from the negative effects of disorderly environments? Sounds like that would be useful at a waste treatment plant."
Just as Liu Zhengzheng was about to close the lunchbox, a large maggot suddenly swung its head and tail, leaped out of the boiling oil, and pounced directly at his face.
"Holy crap, it's still alive! White Feather Chicken, are you even up to par?"
He cursed in his mind.
The dish was confit maggots, not maggot sashimi.
Despite his complaints, Liu Zheng quickly pulled the maggot back.
He's currently in a legendary state, with incredibly precise control over his strength.
The pull just happened to send the maggot into the enamel pot, only splashing a little oil.
He then immediately picked up the lid and covered the enamel pot tightly.
"boom!"
The enamel pot trembled slightly before returning to stillness.
