Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

Page 899

After the explosion-proof vehicle drove quietly for half an hour, a glimmer of light finally appeared ahead.

"We've arrived, Mr. Liu."

Bai San said.

"Alright, fourth brother, speed up."

Liu Zheng gave the order.

"okay."

The fourth brother slammed on the gas, and the speed immediately soared to 200 km/h.

A few seconds later, darkness turned into light before everyone's eyes.

The intense light made them squint, but thankfully they were all extraordinary beings and recovered quickly.

"The styles of your two bases are quite different."

After seeing the scene before him clearly, Liu Zheng couldn't help but complain.

If the outpost on the other side is like a filming location for an ancient costume movie, then the outpost on this side is like a construction project headquarters.

The rows of double-layered corrugated steel roof houses and the detached simple administrative buildings gave him a strong sense of déjà vu, and he even wanted to go and do some mortar work and move some bricks on the spot.

The place they drove out of was a garage, and the roller shutter door had already closed automatically, with talismans that looked like snakes and insects crawling on it.

"Well, that outpost over there is our Bai family's old residence, so it can't be changed easily. This outpost is newly built, so it can be more modern."

Bai San explained.

"That's certainly keeping up with the times. If you build a few more villas next door, you could open a resort."

"That would be too conspicuous. It would be troublesome if the sanitation department came to investigate."

Bai San shook his head.

"Holy crap, is this some kind of illegal structure?"

he said in shock.

"Yeah, land is so expensive. If you were to buy such a big piece of land from the city hall, it would cost over a hundred million. You'd have to harvest so many medicinal herbs to make that money back."

Bai San said matter-of-factly.

"Goodness, what if the city hall finds out?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"It's alright, the stuff here isn't worth much. We can just activate the formation to self-destruct and run away. Even if the city hall comes looking for us, we can just send someone out to take the blame and pay a fine. It's still much more cost-effective than buying the land directly."

Bai San said confidently.

"Very well, indeed, no merchant is without guile."

He gave a thumbs-up with his tentacles.

"With a 50 percent profit, it can take risks; for a 100 percent profit, it dares to trample on all human laws; with a 300 percent profit, it dares to commit any crime, even risking being hanged."

Old Ma was right!

Chapter 609 Pre-battle Attrition

After exchanging a few pleasantries with the Bai family members who had arrived, the group left the stronghold.

After driving east for about ten minutes, the view suddenly opened up before us.

At the edge of a lush grassland, there are continuous, indistinct mountains that resemble giant beasts.

"Once you cross this grassland, you'll reach the Ten Thousand Mountains."

Bai San pointed to the distant mountains and said.

"Could there be something fishy about this grassland too?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"No, this is just a normal grassland. However, the grass here tastes very bad and has very low nutritional value, so many herbivores don't want to eat it."

Bai San said.

"Didn't you add any effects like nourishing yin or strengthening yang to them?"

He raised an eyebrow.

Even if it tastes bad, or is dirty and smelly, as long as it can enhance male virility and improve beauty, there will still be plenty of people flocking to it.

"No. There are too many capable people in the metropolis. Not to mention the city hall, even the customers themselves can judge whether the medicine is effective. It would be easy to expose any fakes."

Bai San shook his head.

"That's it."

Liu Zheng glanced at the Nile River doctor subconsciously.

So, the mummies of the Ra clan really do have medicinal effects?

"Humph!"

The Nile doctor glared at him, but did not refute him.

Bai San noticed their interaction, but didn't take it to heart.

The trend of eating mummies has passed. Now, selling mummies is only for their medicinal value, and the Bai family isn't short of money.

"Boss, can I get out of the car for a bit?"

Niu Daji suddenly said.

"What are you doing? Pooping or urinating anywhere? Be careful you don't do it halfway, or the sanitation department will come and catch you."

Liu Zheng said, half-jokingly.

"No, no, no, I cleared out the stock before I came. I wanted to go down and see just how awful this grass really is, hehe."

Niu Daji scratched his head and said.

"No way, you really do eat grass?"

he said in surprise.

"In Metropolis, almost all creatures that can talk are omnivorous. Of course, their diets vary depending on their race and personality."

Nile River Medical Science Popularization Channel.

Animals like cows and horses are easier to digest and absorb when they eat vegetarian food, but good vegetarian food is much more expensive than good meat, so they usually eat meat more often.

"Oh, then you should give it a try."

Liu Zheng signaled to Lao Si to stop the car.

Children from the countryside have never seen the world, and once they come out into the world, they want to try everything they see.

He used to be like that too, so he understands Niu Daji very well.

"Thank you, boss."

Niu Daji got out of the car happily, then plucked a few tender-looking grass stems and put them in his mouth.

"Chew, chew, chew"

Its cheeks puffed out a few times, and then its eyes lit up.

"Chew, chew, chew"

Niu Daji pulled out a few more.

"good to eat!"

With an excited expression on its face, it simply transformed into the posture of a cow and began to eat heartily.

"Something's wrong."

Liu Zheng and the Nile River doctor immediately realized what was going on.

"Shut up, Daji!"

He shouted to stop him.

The Nile doctor was ready to cast his spell, and the sapphire scarab on his chest emitted a bright light.

"what?"

Niu Daji was startled by Liu Zheng's roar and immediately stopped grazing, looking at him.

"Boss, did you call me?"

It asked, looking completely bewildered.

"Yes, I'm calling you. Get back in the car right now, or I'll expel you from the gang."

Liu Zheng gave the order with a serious expression.

"Okay, okay, boss."

Niu Daji, who had never seen him so strict with him, was startled and immediately scrambled back to the car.

"Boss, I'm back, hehe."

It chuckled obsequiously.

"Snapped!"

Liu Zheng slapped it without hesitation.

Of course, it was slapped on the top of the head.

What was wrong with you just now?

he asked.

"Huh? I just ate some grass. You didn't say I couldn't eat that grass."

Niu Daji said with an innocent look on his face.

"You're eating too enthusiastically! People who don't know you might think you're addicted, but those who don't know you might think you're eating grass."

Liu Zheng remained silent.

"I don't know either, I just think those grasses taste pretty good, the more I eat, the better it gets."

"Shut up. Doctor, please go and check me out."

He glared at Niu Daji, then spoke to the Nile doctor.

"it is good."

The Nile doctor nodded, got out of the car, picked a few blades of grass, looked at them, smelled them, and tasted them.

"The grass itself is fine, but it's really hard to eat. The better parts taste like rubber, and the worse parts taste like rubber that's been used to make car tires."

He said as he got back into the car.

"No way, you can eat car tires with such gusto? Why don't you try it with a spare tire?"

Liu Zheng urged.

"Huh? Boss, are you sure you want to?"

Niu Daji said with a bitter face.

"Was your sense of taste always this extraordinary?"

he asked.

"No, I've always been perfectly normal."

"Then think carefully about why this is happening. If you can't figure it out, then you can go eat my spare tire."

Liu Zheng threatened.

"what?!"

Niu Daji was dumbfounded, but seeing his serious expression, he had no choice but to think about it seriously.
