Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

"For the Stone Spirit race, gemstones shouldn't be very rare, right?"

Liu Zheng asked, puzzled.

Arkenstones are extremely rare magical gems, so this peridot should just be an ordinary gem.

"Yes, but not all gemstones are found in the Ten Thousand Mountains. Peridot is one of the rarest types."

Shi Tiantian replied.

"I see."

He looked at the Nile doctor, who shook his head.

It seems like it was just a lucky coincidence.

Liu Zheng took out the shepherd boy's finger, which this time automatically floated in mid-air and pointed straight to the northwest.

"Miss Sweetie, which direction is Mount Ooe?"

he asked.

"over there."

Shi Tiantian pointed in the direction of due east-northeast.

That's quite a difference.

Liu Zheng hesitated for a moment, but decided to complete the Yorozuya's request first.

After all, the monks of Mount Ooe can run away, but the temple can't. The sooner he gets his hands on the disordered dice, the sooner he can settle a major matter.

"Then let's go find that mountain first."

He said to Shi Tiantian.

"I'll do whatever you say, Mr. Human."

"Okay. My little brother has taken up all the seats in the carriage, so Miss Sweetie, you probably won't have a seat. If you don't mind, how about sitting on the roof?"

Liu Zheng suggested.

"It's alright, I'll just use earth magic to follow you. Although I can shrink my size, my weight won't change, so even if your vehicle can carry me, it will be very slow."

Shi Tiantian shook her head.

"Alright, then I'll have to trouble Miss Sweetie. Ah Bao, could you shrink?"

He looked at the giant panda.

"Who are you underestimating? I not only know shrinking magic, but also feather transformation magic. Even a large rock can become as light as a feather."

"I'm so proud of myself," the panda said.

"Impressive, impressive! No wonder you are a disciple of the Daoist sect. Please bring out these two spells."

Liu Zheng flattered.

"Give me money."

The giant panda stretched out a large paw.

"How much do you want?"

"I don't know, you can give me whatever you think is appropriate."

It scratched its head and said.

Its previous price gouging was just like a spoiled child throwing a tantrum; it didn't mean it truly understood the value of money.

After all, giant pandas have always lived in the mountains, and Master rarely came down from the mountains before he died.

In the Ten Thousand Mountains, you can buy things with money, barter, steal, or even rob.

"Give."

Liu Zheng casually handed it a wad of cash.

The panda took the money without counting it and put it directly into its floral fabric backpack.

Money isn't really important; what matters is not being treated as a subordinate by this scoundrel—that would be too shameful.

At the same time, subconsciously it didn't want to get too close to this scoundrel, otherwise it wouldn't be able to leave later.

"That stone spirit, shrink yourself first, and I'll cast my spell."

The giant panda said to Shi Tiantian in a loud and carefree manner.

In the Ten Thousand Mountains, strength reigns supreme. As a demon king who has refined a superior inner core and a genuine Xuanmen cultivator, he naturally doesn't need to give face to a little stone spirit.

"Sir, what is this bear?"

Shi Tiantian glanced at it and then looked at Liu Zheng.

"Oh, my newly tamed bodyguard is still very wild. All its statements represent its bear-like views and have nothing to do with me."

Liu Zheng directly drew a clear line.

"That's good. Where did this ugly thing come from? It's neither black nor white, and it's carrying a floral cloth bundle. It's really ugly bears causing trouble."

Shi Tiantian mocked.

"What did you say!"

The giant panda was immediately enraged.

"You bastard, you don't want to live anymore! I'll beat you to pieces and then use the pieces to build a latrine!"

"You? Do you think I don't know you? You're a hothead who lost his master, always causing trouble, digging holes and not filling them, making the Ten Thousand Mountains a mess."

"You want to turn me into a latrine? I'll call my brothers over and stomp you into mincemeat to fertilize the flower field."

Shi Tiantian sneered.

The history of the Stone Spirits is almost as long as the Ten Thousand Mountains. Theoretically, there is nothing they are too lazy to know, only things they don't know.

"Why do I feel like people, whether in the city or outside, don't really know how to talk?"

Liu Zheng squinted and said.

"Otherwise what? Everyone is under so much pressure. If you're not close, you don't have time to chat. It's all about strength and communication with your fists."

"Moreover, speaking well requires education. Many people don't even know how to read, so how can you expect them to use any good words?"

"That's what the Nile doctor said."

"Well, that makes sense."

He nodded.

Let alone being illiterate, even those who have attended school for several years often lack the ability to speak properly.

When he used to interview those residents, they would often steer the conversation off-topic.

Whenever Liu Zheng tries to guide the conversation with rational logic, they often feel uncomfortable because they are not used to it.

Later, he just gave up and let them expand on the topics, as long as they weren't too outrageous, and then he would summarize the useful information himself.

"Okay, stop arguing."

After the two "people" exchanged a few more insults, Liu Zheng stopped them at the right moment.

"Don't stop me, I'm going to beat it into a pulp today."

The giant panda persisted.

“Sir, just let me use this bear as fertilizer, and I’ll catch you a new one. Two-legged humans are hard to find in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, but four-legged bears are plentiful.”

Shi Tiantian showed no sign of giving up.

"If you can actually find another giant panda, it will be extremely grateful. Okay, give me some face and don't hold it against it. Okay? My dear Miss Sweetie."

Liu Zheng said.

"Alright, since you've put it that way."

Shi Tiantian said reluctantly.

"As for you, a bodyguard should have the professional qualities of a bodyguard. You speak even more arrogantly than I do. Who is the bodyguard, me or you?"

He then spoke to the giant panda.

"It's always been a case of whoever is stronger is arrogant."

The giant panda retorted defiantly.

"Now that I'm stronger than you, shouldn't I be even more arrogant? If you cause me any more trouble, I'll send you to eat at the sewer buffet."

Liu Zheng threatened.

What is a sewer?

"The sewers, ah, that's a place with a very strong atmosphere."

He said it with a subtle expression.

Then, he told the giant panda about the must-do attractions in the sewer.

"I don't want to go to a place like that!"

The giant panda couldn't stand it anymore after hearing half of it and shouted loudly.

"That's not up to you."

Liu Zheng took out his fishing rod.

“Since your master asked you to follow me, then I have to take responsibility for you. The city is not like the Ten Thousand Mountains. If you don’t change your arrogant attitude, you won’t even know who you offended when you die.”

"And there's no need to go into the city; I can let you experience it right now."

"Doctor, prepare some medicine-filled feces that best suit the smell of the sewer for it to try."

he ordered.

"it is good."

The Nile doctor took out a scarab beetle plus, its round, bulging abdomen clearly indicating that it had a lot of stock.

"Quack! I don't want to taste it, I don't want to taste it!"

Seeing the mummy approaching it, the giant panda retreated in terror.

"So, are you still going to cause trouble or not?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"I'm not picky anymore, I'm not picky anymore."

The giant panda shook its head repeatedly.

"Okay, then get to work. Doctor, stop pooping."

He called out to the Nile doctor.

"City people are really terrifying. No wonder my master doesn't let me go to the city."

The giant panda thought with lingering fear.

"Please cooperate and shrink a little, okay?"

It said reluctantly.

"Humph!"

Shi Tiantian did not answer, but the skeleton all over her body began to spew out white smoke.

As white smoke continued to billow out, its size shrank, eventually becoming about the same size as Liu Zheng.

"Carrying Mount Tai across the North Sea, traversing the four rivers as if walking on flat ground. A thousand pounds transform into feathers, swift as lightning!"

The panda stood up and pointed at Shi Tiantian.

Then, nothing happens.

"Did your spell fail?"

Liu Zheng frowned.

"How is that possible? The Feather Transformation Technique is one of the spells I use most often. I could close my eyes and it wouldn't fail."
