Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

"You're courting death, but I don't want to. Of course, I'm not entirely unprepared."

The ox and horse opened their mouths and spat out an iron box.

He took it, but instead of opening the box, he stared at the cow and horse's big mouths.

"what?"

It was being looked at with some displeasure.

"I'm just curious, how much more can you pull out of your mouth?"

Liu Zheng said.

"None of your business. Alright, just open it now."

The oxen and horses urged on.

He opened the tin box, and inside was a playing card.

The Joker, a card with two Jokers in a deck of cards, is commonly referred to as the Big Joker and Little Joker in real life.

Name: Lucky Joker Card

Type: Item

Quality: Excellent

"Effect: When you hold this card and dress up as the clown, your Luck is increased. The increase is directly proportional to the effect of the costume."

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

The clown on the card has blood-red lipstick on and is staring intently with a smile.

"Where am I supposed to dress up as a clown?"

Liu Zheng remained silent.

"I have long been ready."

The ox and horse stuck their hooves into their mouths and dug and dug, finally pulling out a gaudy clown costume and a colorful, comical hat.

"You were prepared all along, weren't you?"

He watched its performance with a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth.

"Of course, otherwise we'd really be throwing money down the drain."

The cattle and horses returned.

"Then why did you pretend to analyze things earlier?"

"There has to be a procedure, otherwise it will feel a bit like an appointment made by the emperor."

The ox and horse shrugged.

Under its gaze, Liu Zheng changed into a clown costume.

The clothes are very loose and can be worn directly over the vest.

What about my makeup?

He pointed out the flaws.

"This is simple."

Suddenly, the ox and horse stretched out their heads and slashed at Liu Zheng's tentacle with their broken horns.

Blood spurted out.

"Look, the lipstick is here."

It said smugly.

"If I win the money, I'll beat you to a pulp."

Liu said expressionlessly.

"I'd be willing to die if you could help me earn my retirement savings."

The ox and horse said nonchalantly.

"hehe."

He smeared the blood on himself and drew a bright red smile on his face.

"'Lucky Joker' card is now in effect."

The system prompt immediately sounded.

Which one should we start with?

Liu Zheng looked around and asked.

The gambling area wasn't large, but it was fully equipped; he had almost every type of gambling device he recognized.

Of course, this is limited to just knowing about it.

"Since we've all become lucky clowns, of course we should try our luck first."

The cattle and horses nudged him to the side of a pachinko machine.

This kind of machine is a Japanese specialty in reality, and its popularity is so great that it's hard to understand why.

Pachinko parlors can be found everywhere, whether in Tokyo, Osaka, or even in Hokkaido where the population density is extremely low.

Especially the middle-aged and elderly men, who rush in early in the morning to grab the machines they like, and sit there all day with their lunch boxes and cigarettes.

Liu Zheng has never played a proper pachinko game, but he has played the limited edition that was sold outside a primary school in China.

A wooden board, a few nails, a glass ball, and a boss sitting on a stool smoking.

He has lost a lot of pocket money on this.

"Hey you, get us some chips."

The oxen and horses grumbled.

Soon, a slime pupa about half the height of a person crawled over.

"Um sissy, waibi babi?"

It made a muffled sound.

"Give it the money."

Niu Ma said to Liu Zheng.

"How to give?"

Liu Zheng asked.

No matter how you look at it, this thing doesn't look like it can be caught by a hand.

"Just throw it in."

The cattle and horses returned.

He let go, letting the wallet fall onto the slime.

The wallet sank little by little into the slime's body and then disappeared.

Liu Zheng was somewhat surprised to discover that its body only appeared transparent.

"Gurgle gurgle, plop plop."

After another grumbling, the slime wriggled away.

Where it once stood, a pile of chips covered in slime remained.

"What did it just say?"

Liu Zheng asked as he picked up the chips.

"It says there's a promotion at the casino today: top up 10,000 and get 1,000 free."

"The ox and horse said."

"Then aren't we guaranteed to make a profit?"

"You're overthinking it. Look at the chips you have."

The cow and horse pursed their lips.

Liu Zheng looked at the chips in his arms, which were black, red, yellow, and white.

Black is 1000, red is 100, yellow is 10, and white is also 1000.

"The white ones are free; they can't be exchanged for cash. They'll only be exchanged for other chips if you win at gambling. Otherwise, do you think the casino is stupid?"

"The ox and horse said."

"Oh."

He picked up a yellow chip and threw it into the pachinko machine's coin slot.

"Your thing isn't good either."

Liu Zheng looked at the chips in front of him and said.

I've only earned 500 yuan in half an hour.

To put it bluntly, what can it do?

"You're just really unlucky; you can't even get your Joker card back."

The ox and horse were stubborn.

"This can't go on like this."

He shook his head and then stood up.

"What do you want to do?"

The ox and horse hurriedly asked.

"Let's try a different blocking method."

Liu Zheng looked around and walked towards a gambling table.

Do you know how to play?

Niu Ma questioned.

"Texas Hold'em, I've played it a lot."

He said confidently, then plopped down in an empty seat, right opposite the dealer.

The dealer looked up at him, a greedy glint flashing in his yellow vertical pupils, and a trickle of saliva dripping from the corner of his scaly mouth.

Can I file a complaint about it?

Liu Zheng pointed at the croupier and said.

"I wonder what the customer wants to complain about?"

The dealer spoke up.

The sound had a hissing noise in it.

“You drooled on me, and I think you are sexually harassing me.”

He said righteously.

"The guest misunderstood."

The dealer couldn't help but chuckle.

"I have no interest in mating with humans, I just want to eat your flesh."

It explained.

"Hahaha."

Other gamblers burst into laughter, some mocking, others harboring ill intentions.
