Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

"Then I'm not buying it anymore. You can sell it or not, it's up to you."

"also may."

Garcia actually nodded.

"The black market also wanted this item, but they offered a slightly lower price. If you don't want it, I'll have to sell it to them."

He then ordered the followers to reload the goods.

"We can't let them leave, meow. This is what a big shot in the council ordered; if we can't serve it, the head chef will be in trouble, meow."

The calico cat tugged at Liu Zheng's trouser leg.

"Wait a moment."

He nodded and spoke up to stop them.

Garcia gestured for a pause, then looked at him with a deep gaze.

"I don't believe that people on the black market don't check the goods. You must have a solution."

Liu Zheng said.

“We naturally have a way, but why should we tell you? Besides, you have no sincerity to begin with. Your words and actions are provoking us at every turn. We might as well not do this kind of business.”

Garcia admitted it outright.

"That's because you tricked us first."

"This kind of business is supposed to be a cash-on-delivery transaction. If you didn't find any problems when you inspected the goods, you can only blame your poor eyesight."

Garcia said without even lifting his eyelids.

Hey, you bastard.

When cattle and horses lower their heads, they are about to move their horns.

After two days of rest, its broken horn has almost healed.

The unicorn looks even more imposing.

"Boss, wait a minute. Let me talk to him."

Liu Zheng stopped it.

"What's the point of talking to this kind of idiot? Just kill him."

The ox and horse grumbled and cursed, but their feet stopped moving.

"Your delivery methods are inadequate, making it impossible for us to inspect the goods. Even if you don't care about the business of just one restaurant, don't you care about your business reputation?"

“You said people on the black market want to buy it, and we also have some connections in the black market.”

“Oink from the slaughterhouse is from our hometown, and we often play cards together with the devils at the casino. If I ask them to spread this word, how many people will still dare to do business with you?”

He stared at Garcia and said.

Beneath the iron mask, Garcia seemed to frown slightly.

He knew that the bull and horse knew Oink, but he didn't know that it had actually gotten involved with the demon.

Slaughterhouses and gambling dens are the two major strongholds of the black market, and if they cause trouble, the sect's business will indeed be affected.

"I can untie the mermaid's tears, but you must agree to my conditions."

He thought for a moment and then said.

"What conditions?"

“You must listen to the gospel of my Lord.”

Garcia looked at Liu Zheng and said.

Why are you so insistent on proselytizing to me?

Liu Zheng said helplessly.

“You have heard the gospel of the evil god. If you can convert to my Lord, my Lord will surely be pleased.”

Garcia replied.

"But I'm not happy."

He shook his head.

If the gospel of one evil god has already ruined him like this, what would happen if another one came along?

If one god wins, that's fine; but if they remain locked in a stalemate, he probably won't even be able to become a tentacle monster anymore.

"If you convert to my Lord, you will no longer need to work. You only need to sing my Lord's name to the stars. Your daily meals, clothing, shelter, and safety will all be guaranteed."

"In the restaurant, you're nothing more than consumables. Especially after your essence is transformed, you'll become top-quality ingredients. At that time, the restaurant will definitely try every means to make you make mistakes and degenerate you into livestock."

"If you don't believe me, ask the oxen and horses."

Garcia earnestly advised.

"He's right, that's just how restaurants are."

The ox and horse admitted it without hesitation.

"Kid, now it's your turn to choose."

"Should I continue working as a wage slave in a restaurant, or become a holy son of this damn cult?"

"Is it even necessary to think about it?"

Liu Zheng smiled.

"Of course, I'll continue delivering food."

Free meals and lodging, and no work required? Where can you find such a good deal?

Those who say this are either promoting Amway or practicing heterodox religions.

He sings to the stars every day, but in the end, will he still be himself?

He needs to actively request the settlement of the copy.

If you lose yourself, you'll end up spending your days in this alternate reality.

So, is he dead or alive?

"Then we have nothing more to say."

Garcia shook his head, preparing to leave with the believers.

"Did I let you go?"

Liu Zheng said.

“Even oxen and horses cannot stop us, let alone you, sir. You are like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.”

Garcia looked at him dismissively and said.

It's just a body that contains the Gospels, yet it really thinks it's someone important?

Liu Zheng looked at the cattle and horses.

"I didn't expect this jerk to come in person."

The ox and horse shook their heads.

Generally speaking, the Yuanshen Cult would send at most a priest to lead such a transaction.

Garcia was originally a priest, and his mask has three quarter circles on it.

Liu Zheng then looked at the calico cat.

"The head chef said I can't help you fight, meow."

The calico cat also said it couldn't help.

"Then there's nothing we can do. You can go now."

He sighed.

Even the kitchen staff aren't putting in the effort, so why should a deliveryman like him worry about it?

"We will meet again, Your Excellency."

Garcia drew a quarter circle for Liu Zheng.

Liu Zheng narrowed his eyes; this guy seemed to be threatening him.

Just as he was wondering whether to say something harsh, a voice as faint as a mosquito's buzz reached his ears.

"Please save me, please."

"Ok?"

Liu Zheng subtly shifted his gaze to the ice.

"Save me, please, save me."

The sound got a little louder.

Liu Zheng looked at the cows, horses, and calico cat; they seemed oblivious.

"Are you that mermaid?"

He tried to answer in his mind.

"Yes, I am Princess Kova the Little Mermaid. I am communicating with you telepathically."

The mermaid replied.

Telepathy, could it be that she also ate garlic rice and pig brains?

Liu thought to himself with a strange expression.

“I have never eaten Migo’s brain. It’s my innate ability as the daughter of the sea.”

"That's what the Little Mermaid answered."

"You can hear that? That's a bit disgusting."

He frowned.

"I'm sorry, but I can't control it."

The Little Mermaid immediately apologized.

"Alright. Let's get straight to the point. What's in it for me to save you?"

The Little Mermaid is also a fish; her kindness hasn't reached the level of transcending species.

“Send me back to the sea, and my father will bestow upon you countless rewards.”

"The mermaid princess said."

"Not interested in."

Leaving aside whether the Little Mermaid will keep her promise, the prerequisite cannot be met.

He even sent it back into the sea; without food delivery, he couldn't even leave this street.

"Then I can transform into a human and marry you."

The mermaid princess said somewhat shyly.

"I have even less interest."

He's not Deng Chao.

"Then I can give you this."

After struggling with several thoughts, the Little Mermaid said.

A faint light suddenly flashed within the ice block and caught Liu Zheng's eye.

That was the pendant on the Little Mermaid's chest, a blue heart-shaped gemstone.
