Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

But when he saw the hollowed-out abdominal cavity, his body still couldn't help but tremble.

Because of fear.

More so because of anger.

"Let me go."

A hoof snatched the bag.

The ox and horse glanced at him, their eyes unreadable.

"Go, help me roll out the dough."

It gave Liu Zheng a hard shove.

The immense force left him powerless to resist, and he staggered to the pastry workbench.

"Roll it out thinner, don't make it like a naan bread."

The ox and horse, without turning their heads, bellowed and carried the bag towards the pool.

Liu Zheng watched its retreating figure, his chest heaving several times, but eventually calmed down.

He picked up the dough and slammed it hard onto the table.

The white-feathered chicken glanced at it calmly, then continued arranging the food on the plate.

That's just how humans are; they're always easily startled at first.

Just get used to it.

If he can't get used to it, the oxen and horses will teach him the rules.

Fortunately, Liu Zheng quickly found an outlet for his emotions.

He used his four tentacles to control two rolling pins, multitasking as he rolled out the dough.

This highly complex operation focused his attention, preventing his CPU from having any threads to think about other things.

Sheets of dough, each only as thick as an A4 sheet of paper, were continuously formed and then tossed aside by Liu Zheng.

Soon, a mountain of face powder was piled up on the table.

"Stop rolling it out, you've used up all the dough for next year."

Before he knew it, cattle and horses came to his side.

Its sound startled Liu Zheng, and his gaze went past the cattle and horses to the pool.

There is nothing inside.

"Stop looking, it's already stewing."

Niu Ma pointed to a pressure cooker and said.

"Old ginseng whole body soup. This pot should contain at least this much."

It raised its hoof, and then froze.

Because it can only show the number "2".

"Ahem, that's basically the idea, you get it."

He remained unfazed and said...

Are you trying to appease me or provoke me?

Liu Zheng looked at it.

"I want both."

Niu Ma said frankly.

"I both admire and dislike you. So don't give me a chance, just live your life well."

It pushed Liu Zheng aside.

"Go wash the vegetables."

"It's just a matter of time," Niu Ma said calmly.

Liu Zheng gave it a long look before returning to the vegetable washing area.

"you are back."

The calico cat breathed a sigh of relief when he returned.

"It's good that you're back. That cow is so stupid, it broke the faucet."

It complained.

"You're a cow or a horse, you stupid cat!"

The ox and horse said loudly.

"A little bit."

The calico cat made a face at it.

"Phew, is there anything else to wash?"

Liu Zheng took a deep breath and asked.

"Then go and scoop the fish out of there."

The calico cat pointed to a fish tank covered with a black cloth and said...

"Say it out loud before you pull back the cloth."

It served as a reminder.

"it is good."

He walked to the fish tank and grabbed the edge of the black cloth with his tentacles.

"I'm about to reveal the truth."

he shouted.

"Everyone, quickly cover your ears!"

The calico cat immediately meowed.

Upon hearing this, all the kitchen staff put down what they were doing and covered their ears.

"Ok?"

Although Liu Zheng didn't know what was going on, he followed suit and stuffed the tentacles into his ear canals.

Then, the black cloth was removed.

A fish with a frog's head opened its eyes and then opened its mouth wide.

"Cuck!"

The enormous sound wave rushed towards him, causing Liu Zheng's mind to go blank for a moment.

The water in the fish tank boiled, and cracks appeared on the tank.

"grass!"

Coming to his senses, Liu Zheng subconsciously cursed.

This is still because their ears are plugged; if they weren't, their brains would probably be all shaken up.

He reached his tentacles into the fish tank and grabbed the frogfish's tail.

But the frogfish struggled violently, and the tentacles couldn't control it at all.

And the more it struggled, the louder it cried out.

This made Liu Zheng, who was already irritable, even more irritable.

In a fit of rage, he shoved his tentacles straight into the frogfish's mouth, reaching its stomach in one go.

"Gah!"

The croaking of the frog-fish abruptly stopped.

"Go ahead and scream, no one will come to save you no matter how much you scream."

Liu Zheng pulled it out and slapped it twice across the face.

He used a lot of force, and knocked the frog fish unconscious.

"It's good to have many hands."

The calico cat watched this scene with envy and said...

They have to endure torture every time they catch frogs and fish.

"What should we do with this thing?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Don't move the head, just treat the other parts normally."

The calico cat said.

"it is good."

He carried the frogfish to the edge of the pool, then picked up a knife and began to scale it.

Liu Zheng grew up in the countryside, so killing chickens and fish was nothing to him; he could even slaughter pigs and sheep if pushed to the limit.

"Don't waste the blood and internal organs, you can keep them for yourself."

The calico cat licked its lips, its eyes filled with longing.

Whoever washes the vegetables gets to eat the scraps, which is a small perk of the kitchen.

"it is good."

He followed the calico cat's advice and put the frogfish's blood and internal organs into another basin.

"Give."

Liu Zheng handed the basin to the calico cat.

"Aren't you going to eat?"

The calico cat exclaimed in surprise.

"This is very expensive. Even these scraps can sell for several hundred outside."

It assumed that Liu Zheng was unaware of the value of the frogfish.

"You look like you want to eat it more than I do."

Liu Zheng said.

"hey-hey."

The calico cat washed its face sheepishly.

"Thank you then."

It buried its face in the basin and began to feast.

"Don't think you can take my cat away like this, you scumbag!"

The man's face reappeared, his expression full of anger.

"I just want to get along well with my colleagues."

"I advise you not to get too agitated. You don't want your cat to feel that you are questioning its love for you, do you?"

Liu Zheng said calmly.

"."

The face remained silent.

“I will tell it that this bowl of fish offal was given to it because of you.”

Liu Zheng said silently.

"You'd better keep your word."
