Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

Liu Zheng woke up to a series of shouts.

He opened his eyes and found that the oxen and horses were doing sit-ups.

Given its size, the pressure it exerts on the ground is comparable to that of a pile driver.

"Dude, are you complaining that the foundation isn't solid enough?"

Liu Zheng joked.

"You don't know anything. We're going to Paradise Island soon, I need to work on my core strength."

"The ox and horse said."

What does Paradise Island have to do with training your waist strength?

"You kid, you're not still a virgin, are you?"

The cattle and horses looked at him askance.

"Hey, why are you suddenly swearing?"

Liu Zheng said with dissatisfaction.

"Since you're not a virgin, you don't even know this? Paradise Island's service standards are even higher than the black market."

The ox and horse said with longing.

"Weren't you going with your wife?"

Do cattle and horses really play such elaborate games?

“She has enough time to shop at those beauty and cosmetic stores, so where would she find the time to look for me? Besides, if I tell her I’m going fishing, she’ll lose patience in three minutes at most.”

"I'm so proud of myself," Niu Ma said smugly.

"Bah! Scumbag."

He said disdainfully.

"Hmph, if you have too high moral standards, don't blame others for having low moral standards. Besides, compared to other beasts of burden, I'm already a model husband. At least I take my wife on vacation."

The ox and horse spoke with conviction.

"Your circle is really chaotic."

After chatting for a couple more minutes, their cabinet made a noise.

The staff meals have been delivered.

"Hurry up, hurry up, bring me your food."

"The ox and horse said excitedly."

Are you really hungry?

Liu Zheng took a step back to avoid being eaten by the dog when it got too hungry.

"You don't know anything. Every time I finish helping out in the kitchen, I get a good meal the next day, even better than what you can buy outside."

"The ox and horse said."

"Having offended Napoleon so badly yesterday, will it happen again this time?"

"That old guy may be petty, but he's a man of his word. As long as he hasn't said he's canceling, he'll definitely have it."

The cattle and horses returned.

"alright."

Liu Zheng shrugged and took out his employee meal from the cabinet.

Upon opening it, he immediately showed a look of disgust.

One after another, rat heads are embedded in the dough, gazing up at the starry sky, while round pieces of rat meat are arranged in a circle around the rat heads.

The cut-off rat tail is placed in the middle of the pizza, forming a typhoon-like shape.

Name: Vampire Rat Family Pizza

Type: Item

Quality: Excellent

Effect 1: Restores a large amount of stamina.

"Effect 2: Gain the 'Blood Thirst' status, lasting 72 hours."

Note: A family should always be together.

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

"Bloodthirst: During the duration of the state, a strong urge to drink blood will occur intermittently. If the urge to drink blood is not satisfied, all attributes will decrease by 10 points, and if satisfied, all attributes will increase by 10 points. If high-quality blood is consumed, there is a chance to gain additional effects."

"Hey, isn't this the nest of mice we fed you with?"

The ox and horse exclaimed in surprise.

Liu Zheng was startled and looked closely; it was indeed true.

The largest rat head inside is the one with gray fur mixed in.

He clearly remembered that it had a total of 53 whiskers, with two more on the right than on the left.

"Haha, I won't fight you for it this time."

"After all, they are infused with your own blood and sweat."

The ox and horse winked and said.

Liu Zheng looked at the rat meat pizza, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty.

"Of course, if you really don't want to eat it, I can help you with that. You don't need to thank me too much."

The ox and horse said considerately.

He looked at the shrunken tentacles.

Although it wasn't displayed on the system panel, his actual attributes had decreased by at least half.

Going out in this state is basically tantamount to suicide.

"I eat."

Liu Zheng picked up a slice of pizza, closed his eyes, and stuffed it into his mouth.

The taste was unsurprisingly good, even better than the pizzas he had ever eaten in real life.

The rat meat didn't have any strange smell; instead, it had a texture similar to Wagyu beef.

But the thought of what they originally looked like made Liu Zheng feel nauseous.

However, he managed to suppress his nausea and finish the entire pizza.

Soon, Liu Zheng's stomach felt like it was on fire.

The burning pain contorted his face.

But what's even more twisted is his physical body.

Liu Zheng's skin rolled around like rats running inside, constantly expanding and deforming.

As his body swelled up like a balloon during this change, it even became a size larger than before.

During the reorganization process, the remaining human skin was completely destroyed, turning into a chitin-like shell.

Liu Zheng stared at the dark, shiny tentacles in silence.

"Want to look in the mirror?"

"I asked, my ox and horse, with a mischievous grin on their faces."

"no need."

He said calmly.

The oxen and horses seemed quite pleased to see him completely degenerate into a non-human being.

Little did it know that it could return to its original form once it cleared the dungeon.

Although the inhabitants of this world are strange and powerful, they are still frogs in a well.

Although he is weak, as long as he survives, there are endless possibilities.

"Hey, what's wrong with your eyes, kid?"

The ox and horse said unhappily.

"nothing."

Liu Zheng glanced at it with pity, then looked away.

He has decided to use a sick leave certificate, but there are still some preparatory steps to take before that.

"Boss, did you keep my wine?"

he asked.

"Tell me what you meant just now?"

The ox and horse persisted in asking.

"It is reverence, it is looking up to, it is the ant's awe before the towering tree, it is the self-pity of the turtledove before the phoenix."

"What?"

The oxen and horses revealed clear, bright eyes.

"You're amazing, I admire you so much."

Liu Zheng sighed.

"Hmph, you've got some sense, kid. Here you go."

Niu Ma rummaged through the pile of bottles and pulled out three untouched bottles for him.

"Thank you, boss."

Liu Zheng took the wine bottle and sat down at the door.

Now we just wait for that hand to appear.

More than an hour later, the movable board was finally pushed open.

The ghost hand quietly crawled in, only to find Liu Zheng staring at it. It was momentarily at a loss and even forgot to put down the takeout order.

Liu Zheng remembered the rule, so he didn't say anything, but simply placed the three bottles of wine in front of it.

Faced with this situation, Ghost Hand clenched his four fingers into a fist, his index finger making a virtual point in the air, as if he were thinking.

After considering for a long time, it spread its fingers, and a human mouth grew from its palm.

Then, he swallowed all three bottles of wine, bottles and all.

A few seconds later, a blush spread from the center of the palm to the entire hand.

The originally withered and decaying ghost hand now looked more vibrant.

It wobbled as it put down the takeout order, then wobbled as it climbed out of the break room.

Nothing happened except for the takeout order on the ground.

"Hahaha!!!"

The ox and horse burst into laughter again.

"Stunned now? You thought everyone was doing a fair trade with me and that tree? Someone who's been speculating all day has finally gotten what he deserved."

It laughed so hard that my abs, which I had just worked out, started to ache.

"It's just three bottles of wine, consider it a good deed. Being rich means you can do whatever you want."

Although Liu Zheng was a little surprised, he didn't take it to heart.

It was just a casual move anyway, and I didn't really expect to win with it.

He picked up the takeout order and looked at the information on it.

"Meal: One serving of Wood Elf Milk"
