Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

"You really don't know what's good for you. Rat-skinned people are the best aphrodisiac. I don't tell just anyone this."

The ox and horse spoke mysteriously.

"What are you going to do?"

He watched the cattle and horses warily.

There were only the two of them in the lounge.

Chapter 23 Black Market

"I'm not interested in men, especially since you're not even human."

The ox and horse glanced at him sideways.

"Understood, you're dealing with the public."

"If you dare say it out loud, I'll beat you up to their size."

The ox and horse pointed at the rat-man's head in the pot.

Liu Zheng wisely kept his mouth shut.

"Hmph, this pot of soup is for tonight's black market."

"The ox and horse said."

"black market?"

"That's right, as long as you have money, you can buy anything on the black market."

Niu Ma explained.

"Could this be the opportunity you were talking about to make extra money?"

Liu Zheng recalled their previous conversation.

“That’s right. You can only make a few bucks trading with that tree, but you can make ten times its value in one night on the black market.”

The cattle and horses tempted him.

"Then why are you still so poor?"

He asked sincerely.

"Bullshit, where am I poor?"

The ox and horse roared angrily.

"You can't even afford to change your clothes, you get beaten half to death for buying a bottle of red wine, and you even have to mooch off my staff meals."

Liu Zheng knew it all by heart.

"That's called a compliance test, you know? You bumpkin."

The oxen and horses spoke with conviction.

"I can afford even a simple meal of tea, why would I care about a few of your staff meals?"

It grumbled and mumbled.

"Uh-huh."

He said perfunctorily.

"You little brat, you look down on everyone, I won't stoop to your level. Just tell me, do you dare to go or not?"

The ox and horse rolled their eyes at him.

"dangerous?"

"You're 99% likely to die."

"The ox and horse said."

"Then I have to go now."

Liu Zheng laughed.

"Sometimes I really don't understand you humans."

The ox and horse scratched their heads.

If you call it cowardice, how could it dare to go to such a dangerous place?

They're bold, but they always admit defeat so quickly.

"High risk, high reward."

Liu Zheng remained calm.

This dungeon is too difficult to clear by simply trying to outmaneuver the enemy.

If he hadn't risked his life several times, would he have achieved this attribute?

Moreover, the sword of Damocles, the betting agreement, still hangs over the place.

"Hmph, it's not that easy for you to go. The black market only opens after midnight, and by then there are no more orders left."

"The ox and horse said."

The second rule for delivery drivers: Do not leave the break room before receiving an order.

"but?"

"But as an excellent employee, I can not only go out, but I can also take you with me."

Niu Ma continued.

"But what?"

"But no matter how much you make on the black market, I want half of it."

The ox and horse glared at him, then said.

"Perfectly reasonable."

Liu Zheng nodded.

"Don't think I'm asking for an exorbitant amount."

The ox and horse saw through his thoughts.

"When there are no orders, you're not considered a restaurant employee, and anyone can mess with you."

"Especially at night, when all sorts of filth are running rampant in the streets, without my protection you are just a big piece of fat meat."

it said.

"Hey bro, you just said there were no takeout orders tonight. Does that mean we can't order or nobody's ordering?"

Liu Zheng then asked other questions.

"Nobody orders. There's only one person on duty in the kitchen at night, and even I think his cooking is terrible."

The cattle and horses returned.

"That's it."

Liu Zheng thought for a moment, then took out his phone and dialed a string of numbers.

The oxen and horses watched him silently, waiting to see what kind of trouble he was going to cause.

"Who?"

The sound of typing came from the other end of the phone.

"It's me, the delivery guy."

Liu Zheng said.

"Ah, it's you, senior."

The sound of typing on the keyboard suddenly stopped.

"What are your instructions, senior?"

The novelist added a little bit.

"So, could you please order takeout around midnight?"

Liu Zheng said.

"The longer the delivery time, the better."

He added.

"sure."

The novelist readily agreed.

"But if I do it, you won't be able to see my body, senpai."

"That's really a shame."

Liu Zheng hung up the phone and turned to see Niu Ma staring at him as if he'd seen a ghost.

"what happened?"

he wondered.

"You've only been here two days and you've already hooked up with a customer?"

The cattle and horses were shocked.

"Flirting is too harsh a word. We only have a simple business relationship."

Liu Zheng corrected.

"Are tentacled men becoming a trend?"

The ox and horse looked at their hooves and wondered a little about their existence.

"It's mainly about personal charisma. Now I can go to the black market, right?"

he asked.

"Hmph, you're pretty good, kid."

The oxen and horses were unhappy.

"Don't be upset, the terms remain the same, and you'll still get your share of the profits."

Liu Zheng smiled.

"What mischief are you up to now, you little rascal?"

The cattle and horses watched him warily.

It didn't believe that this human would suddenly become generous.

"You said there are scalped tickets for Paradise Island, right?"

"Yes."

The ox and the horse nodded.

How much does a single vacation voucher cost?

Liu Zheng asked.

"I think it's around 500,000."

"The ox and horse thought for a moment and said..."

Half a million.

His monthly salary is one thousand, which means he would have to work for more than forty years without eating or drinking.

"Then why did you say that you could save up for more than ten years?"

A vacation voucher for one person costs 500,000 yuan, and a vacation voucher for two people would cost at least one million yuan.

"I'm an outstanding employee, can you compare to me?"

The cattle and horses looked at him disdainfully.
