Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

"Gold? Bath?"

He had only heard of milk baths and rose baths, but how could he take a bath in gold?

"It's like melting gold and pouring it into an iron bathtub to wash."

"It's like a cow and a horse," Niu Ma explained.

"Brilliant."

Liu Zheng gave a thumbs up.

That woman is definitely not human.

"That's why you can't be a boss. Alright, stop asking questions and let's go. Three hours isn't enough time."

The oxen and horses urged on.

The two exited the passage, and Liu Zheng took out a map.

Where is the black market located?

he asked.

"here."

The ox and horse pointed to the northwest corner of the map.

"what?"

Liu Zheng looked at that spot and felt it looked somewhat familiar.

After a few seconds of thought, he took out the letter from the beginning.

Turning it over, sure enough, the location of the black market coincided with one of the dots.

"The city hall actually marked the location of the black market; this is unlike them."

The ox and horse came closer and said.

"is it?"

Liu Zheng said casually.

It might be a system target.

"What are the other three places?"

He pointed to the other dots and said.

"That's the Chaos Club, that's the landfill, and the one in the very middle is the City Hall."

Niu and Ma said one by one.

What is the Chaos Club?

Liu Zheng asked.

"I don't know, I've never taken any orders from there. You'd better pray you don't."

The ox and horse shook their heads.

"why?"

"I heard it from people in the black market. Last time, the city hall sent three teams in, and none of them came out."

"The ox and horse said."

"Are centaurs strong? How do they compare to you oxen and horses?"

Liu Zheng asked seriously.

"I was talking in a general sense, you know what I mean?"

The ox and horse were stunned for a moment, then roared in fury.

"Got it, got it, please continue, boss."

he reassured.

"Continue my ass, get out of here. If it weren't for the fact that I'm counting on you to make money, I'd kick you to death right now."

The ox and horse said angrily.

The first time Liu Zheng went out at night, he clearly felt something was different.

Those prying eyes were almost tangible, like countless tongues licking his body.

He felt itchy all over.

"It's itchy, isn't it?"

The oxen and horses laughed mockingly.

"is a bit."

Liu Zheng nodded in agreement.

“Nighttime is different from daytime. If it weren’t for me, they would have already rushed out and torn you apart.”

"The ox and horse said."

"Who are they?"

he asked.

"There's everything. There are cannibals, gluttons, and creatures that've been eaten clean. Like this one!"

As Niu Ma spoke, he suddenly stomped his foot hard on the ground.

The asphalt concrete ground instantly shattered into pieces, and dark green blood slowly seeped out from the ground.

The cattle and horses kicked away the pebbles, then stuck their horns into the ground and pulled out a strange-looking creature.

Its skin is pale, its body is shaped like a fat toad, and its head has a cluster of pink tentacles. It has no eyes.

"Good stuff."

The ox and horse said happily.

It stuffed the monster into its mouth and bit off its head and half its body.

“Chicken flavor, crunchy.”

The ox and horse licked their lips with satisfaction.

These things are rare to see; they don't even come out much on bloody nights.

If I can get this bite, then today's trip will have been worthwhile.

"Two whole mouthfuls?"

Noticing Liu Zheng's gaze, it hesitated for a moment and asked.

After all, we're counting on this kid for a share of the money, so we can't be too stingy.

Liu Zheng looked at the pale corpse, and a system notification was flashing above it.

Name: Fresh carcass of a Moon Beast larva

Type: Item

Quality: Excellent

"Effect: Spirit +5, Perception +5, small chance to gain 'Hallucination' status, very small chance to awaken the 'Isolated Daughter' bloodline."

Note: The moon is watching you.

"Can it be taken out of the instance: Yes"

"Warning: The 'Isolated Daughter' bloodline conflicts with the player's current status. Forcibly awakening it will have uncontrollable consequences."

Even without the system warning, he didn't intend to eat this thing.

He turned into a tentacle monster after eating a black goat's eyeball; if he eats this thing again, he probably won't even have a human form anymore.

"Cowards never get to enjoy good food."

The ox and horse made a sarcastic remark, then shook their heads and walked forward.

Liu Zheng followed closely behind.

The path they were walking in was covered with green bodily fluid.

Pairs of scarlet eyes emerged from the darkness, letting out excited roars.

Chapter 25 Friends are delicious

"what?"

Liu Zheng stopped in his tracks.

"what?"

The ox and the horse asked.

"It sounds like someone is singing."

He said.

The singing was faint; if it weren't for the disguise, he probably wouldn't have been able to hear it at all.

"I didn't hear that."

The cattle and horses pricked up their ears.

"It's all roses."

Liu Zheng hummed the lyrics he heard softly, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.

"So it was Mr. Tree."

"That tree? Yeah, who else would be singing on the street at this hour besides it?"

The ox and horse pursed their lips.

Is it far from here?

he asked.

"A little over a kilometer."

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

"That's alright. Boss, shall I go over and say hello?"

Liu Zheng inquired.

"What, do you want to be its backup dancer?"

"The cows and horses complained."

"Be polite."

He smiled.

"You humans are so nosy. You can go if you want, I don't want to see it."

The ox and horse said unhappily.

"Row."

Liu Zheng walked in the direction it pointed, while the oxen and horses followed him at a distance.

Not long after, Liu Zheng met Dai Lego.

He didn't even need to be a backup dancer; the plane trees were having a blast on their own.

Hundreds of tree roots burst forth from the black soil, dancing wildly alongside its branches and leaves.

Countless bones and artifacts collided with each other, clanging and clattering like a percussion orchestra.

It's clearly an extremely gentle and lyrical song, but the French plane tree sings it with a heavy metal feel.

"Mr. Tree!"

Liu Zheng called out several times before Dai Lego finally turned his face toward him.
