Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

Liu Zheng asked, shamelessly.

This thing looks way cooler than any system space or the severed mandarin duck pouch.

"Yes, you can. But you must first learn the skills of meditation, qi cultivation, alchemy, and medicine preparation before you can begin practicing this method."

Feng Jizi said.

"Then how long do you think it will take for me to achieve success in my cultivation, senior?"

he asked.

"Young friend, you have excellent aptitude. You should be able to achieve some success after five hundred years of cultivation."

Feng Jizi glanced at him and said.

"Sorry to bother you, just pretend I didn't say anything."

Liu Zheng decisively gave up.

It takes five hundred years to achieve some success. If he could really live for five hundred years in the metropolis, he would at least be the owner of the Bloody Restaurant, if not the owner himself.

"The path of Qi cultivation is inherently a matter of perseverance. Young friend, your temperament is not suited to it, and forcing yourself to practice will only cause harm. In the metropolis, all races pay homage, and there are countless methods of cultivation, as numerous as the stars in the sky. Young friend, just slowly choose one that suits you. I see that you are surrounded by murderous aura, so cultivating the path of killing would be very suitable for you."

Feng Jizi said.

"Indeed, several people have told me that. However, their cultivation methods are not suitable for me, and they told me to find a blacksmith who can forge weapons using killing intent."

Liu Zheng said.

"I can't help you with that. Our distillery has many strange and unusual people, but we really don't have a blacksmith."

Feng Jizi looked helpless.

"It's okay, I'll find it myself. You can put it in for me."

He waved his tentacle.

"it is good."

Feng Jizi swept his sleeves wide, and Liu Zheng felt as if the sky had darkened and the sun and moon had lost their light.

When he saw the light of day again, he was already on the street.

"Wow, no wonder they gave me a million; there's so much stuff I need to buy."

Liu Zheng opened his notebook, which was filled with hundreds of entries detailing all the things he needed for food, drink, entertainment, clothing, housing, and transportation.

However, there was no corresponding name after each item, so it's unclear whether Feng Jizi memorized it or if there was another purchasing list.

He got into his sports car and headed straight for the "Sayou" trading company.

There are so many supplies to purchase, it's better to get it done sooner rather than later.

The main problem is that his high-quality items are still being held by him, and he needs to get them back quickly, otherwise it will be inconvenient for him to do anything.

Upon arriving near the "Sadudu" trading company, a shop assistant spotted Liu Zheng from afar and quickly went to inform him.

When he got out of the car at the door, Hui San hurriedly came out to greet him.

"Please forgive me for not welcoming you properly, Mr. Liu."

He clasped his hands and bowed repeatedly, his attitude even more polite than last time.

"You're too kind, Manager Hui."

Liu Zheng also clasped his hands in a salute.

"please."

This time, Gray took him to a new room.

It's smaller than the living room, but the decoration and furnishings are a level above, and it feels more lived-in.

"This is my office, cramped and simple. I hope Mr. Liu will not find it offensive."

"That's what Grey Three said."

"Not at all, Manager Hui's office is bright and clean, elegant and comfortable. It's clearly been carefully decorated. It's enviable."

Liu Zheng sighed.

Compared to Gray's office, the break room was practically a pigsty.

No, it's worse than a pigsty.

"Mr. Liu, you flatter me. Please have a seat. Someone, bring over a pot of the newly arrived algae tea."

Gray Three gave instructions to the waiter who came in.

"This algae tea is a rare import from the Deep Sea Empire. It's not very good when brewed, but it's absolutely delicious when used to make tea."

"That's what Grey Three said."

Boiling tea involves grinding tea leaves into powder, forming tea cakes, and then crushing the tea leaves before drinking. The tea cakes are then boiled together with seasonings such as scallions, ginger, orange peel, mint, dates, and salt.

Some are ground into a very fine powder and boiled directly into a paste to drink, hence the name "eating tea".

Since steeping tea became popular, boiling tea has gradually been phased out.

However, it cannot be said that brewed tea is necessarily better than boiled tea; it all depends on personal taste.

The waiter quickly brought over a teapot and teacups, and poured a bowl for each of them.

Liu Zheng glanced at it and saw that the large celadon teacup was filled with dark green tea, or rather, tea soup.

Besides algae, the tea soup also contains a bunch of seasonings, dried fruits, and the like. Adding a few pork ribs would be the perfect finishing touch, but unfortunately, it can't be.

"Indeed, it's very delicious."

He took a sip of the algae tea, smacked his lips, and nodded.

Sure enough, it tastes just like seaweed and pork rib soup, but I don't know where the pork rib flavor comes from.

"I'm glad you're happy, Mr. Liu. May I ask what brings you here today?"

Hui San asked.

"Oh, I've been asked to help purchase some supplies, so I've come to ask Manager Hui for his assistance."

Liu Zheng took out the notebook and handed it to Hui San.

Gray Three opened it and looked at it for a while, his expression gradually relaxing.

Although he was older than Yuan Bao'er, Yuan Bao'er was now the head of the Yuan family, and her status was much higher than his.

Last time, he tricked Liu Zheng a little and was caught and taught a lesson by Yuan Bao'er, so he was more careful this time.

However, if Liu Zheng's demands are too high, it will be difficult for Hui San to handle.

However, most of the items on the list are ordinary things, which makes things easier.

"Our company has most of the items on this list. If we don't have them, we can get them from other companies, so that Mr. Liu won't have to make a wasted trip."

He put down his notebook and said.

"That's great! What about the price?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Since we're family, I'll be frank. Mr. Liu, do you want to lower the price as much as possible, prioritize quality, or lower the price while ensuring quality?"

"If it's the first option, I can reduce the total price to below 300,000, and the quality won't be too bad either; I guarantee it will work."

"If it's the second option, I can keep the total price around 1.1 million, and the quality will definitely be worth more than the price."

"If it's the third type, I can reduce the total price to below 700,000, and the quality will definitely exceed the average level on the market."

This time, Manager Hui made his point very clear.

Chapter 595 Your wife is nice, she's mine.

Which one should we choose?

Liu Zheng fell into thought.

He definitely wouldn't consider the first option. Putting aside personal principles, Feng Jizi isn't stupid.

Even if no one said anything about accepting it, the relationship between the two parties ends there.

Even a French sycamore wouldn't do something so stupid as to lose such valuable connections for 700,000.

Liu Zheng is torn between choosing option two or option three.

If Option 2 costs 1.5 million, he would definitely choose Option 3 without even thinking about it.

After all, he didn't have much money left, so there was no need for him to put on a show of wealth.

But if it's only an extra 100,000 yuan, it's not unacceptable.

With this in mind, Liu Zheng made a decision.

"I choose option two."

He said it firmly.

"As expected of President Liu, you are truly magnanimous. I will have someone prepare the supplies right away."

Grey San made a phone call right in front of him.

"The supplies can be prepared in at most one hour."

After finishing the call, Gray Three said.

"Okay, please deliver it to the entrance of Dukang Winery on Yunmeng Road."

Liu Zheng said.

These supplies obviously won't be classified as goods; with the limited space in the broken mandarin duck pouch and the sports car, it would take forever to transport them all.

"no problem."

Large orders like these should include delivery.

"Then I'll swipe my card."

He took out the bank card that Feng Jizi had given him.

"No need. Bao Wumei said that from now on, Mr. Liu's expenses will be charged to her account."

Grey Three shook his head.

"Isn't this appropriate?"

"Mr. Liu, I'd like to offer you this advice: don't refuse the kindness of a woman, especially a strong woman."

Grey said meaningfully.

"Okay. But the money in this card is the purchase allowance they gave me, so I might as well use it."

He shrugged.

"Haha. That's easy. Just swipe your card and I'll give you the cash."

Grey laughed loudly.

Liu Zheng's mercenary manner actually made him feel somewhat close to him.

"Hehe, then I'll gladly accept your offer."

Liu Zheng naturally wouldn't refuse.

Ten minutes later, he left the "Sayoudu" trading company with one million yuan in cash.

Normally, such cash-out transactions would incur a handling fee, but Gray Three would certainly not be stingy with such a small amount of money.

"Look at the mess we made, we didn't spend any money and we even made a million."

With a smug grin on his face, Liu Zheng put one million into his system space.

"where is it?"

He got into the sports car and called Nightingale while driving (Metropolis exclusive, do not attempt in real life).

"Of course it's at the board game arcade! Where else would it be? Your house?"

The nightingale made a teasing remark, as was her habit.
