Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

"That's how it is, otherwise why do you think I would run away? But even so, so many people want to get in but can't."

"The employee meals you don't like to eat every day could cause a fight if taken outside."

"Look at that tree, it's even stronger than me, but what does it eat and drink every day? If it weren't for the fact that you're the one scavenging food for it from the restaurant, would it spoil you like that and let you take advantage of it?"

Niu Ma sneered.

Liu Zheng thought about it and agreed.

When they first met, the plane tree was even tempted by his urine.

Thinking about it this way, he suddenly had an idea.

"Thank you, boss."

Liu Zheng politely hung up the phone.

"I definitely won't give them the money."

He said to the cleaning staff.

"Then I'll follow the rules and beat you to death."

The cleaner's face immediately turned into an angry expression, and three flames even appeared on her forehead.

Her cleaning uniform instantly swelled up, making her entire upper body look bigger and bigger than a bodybuilding champion.

Especially her trapezius muscles; you couldn't get to this level of development without consuming two train cars' worth of protein powder.

"Fuck!"

Liu Zheng was stunned.

With that kind of talent, why be a cleaner? Wouldn't it be better to participate in the Olympiad?

"But I can buy you a coffee, the coffee from 'Bad Coffee'."

"Oh no, two cups."

He glanced at the security guard inside the door and said.

Upon hearing Liu Zheng's words, the cleaning staff hesitated.

She glanced discreetly at the security guard, who nodded almost imperceptibly.

"One Orange C Iced Americano, half sugar. One Fresh Coconut Hot Latte, standard sugar."

The cleaner's anger vanished, replaced by a strange smile.

"no problem."

Liu Zheng nodded.

"The unlucky coffee is over there."

The cleaner pointed in the direction, and his exaggerated pectoral muscles disappeared.

"OK."

He walked to the side of the office building, and a striking sign appeared before his eyes.

It was an upside-down deer head, with blood flowing continuously from its broken neck, pooling on the ground.

But the deer's eyes remained clear, yet tinged with a hint of pain.

It looked at Liu Zheng and shed a tear that burned with black flames.

Chapter 58 Unlucky Coffee

"Rational decline exemption successful."

The system notification arrived as scheduled.

Tears of fire fell to the ground, burning away the pool of blood.

Liu Zheng couldn't help but wonder if the deer head would form an artificial lake if it didn't shed tears.

He walked around the deer head and entered the coffee shop.

"Welcome to Unlucky Coffee."

The busy shop assistants stopped what they were doing and shouted in unison.

Or rather, they were originally one person.

A heart floats in mid-air, with several thick blood vessels extending outwards, connecting each shop assistant.

Their bodies were only shown on the front half, with all their organs and bones exposed to the air.

"Would you like to order?"

A shop assistant floated over, and his vein almost got tangled with the one next to him.

Liu Zheng then realized that they didn't have lower bodies either.

"I'd like an Orange C Iced Americano, half sugar. And a Fresh Coconut Hot Latte, standard sugar."

He ordered the coffee for the cleaning staff first.

"Give me another cup of coffee, all with ice and half sugar."

He didn't remember how many people were in the kitchen, so he simply ordered more.

Isn't it strange that there are so many people?

"Okay. Half sugar might be a little bitter, is that alright?"

the clerk asked.

"can."

There's no kitchen without sugar; if you find it too bitter, just add it yourself.

"Here's a group-buying discount for you, totaling 1000 yuan."

the clerk said.

The price of half a bottle of *Shengtian Maotai* (a type of herb) isn't expensive.

Liu Zheng handed over the banknotes.

"Can you carry all this coffee? We can deliver it to your designated location."

The shop assistant said warmly.

Do you also offer delivery service?

he said in surprise.

He thought the food delivery market was monopolized by bloody restaurants.

"We don't usually deliver, but we offer special treatment to group-buying customers like you."

The shop assistant replied.

"Alright. Then deliver it to the Bloody Restaurant and write 'Excellent Employee Ox or Horse' on the order form."

Liu Zheng said.

It's really hard for him to carry so much coffee.

Moreover, without the Legendary Vest bonus on the return journey, he wouldn't have the energy to protect the coffee if anything happened.

"Okay. If you deliver it to the Bloody Restaurant, there will be an extra charge of 1200 yuan."

"This is highway robbery. The coffee is only 1000, but your delivery fee is higher than the food itself."

Liu Zheng frowned.

"Sir, please don't be angry. This 1200 is not a delivery fee."

The shop assistant explained.

"what is that?"

"It's employee depreciation expenses."

The shop assistant said with a smile.

"Based on our experience, the delivery drivers who went to the bloody restaurant definitely won't be coming back."

"Ahem, that's it."

Liu Zheng was somewhat embarrassed.

Although he was also one of those who were eaten, he was still part of the restaurant after all.

"So it's reasonable for us to charge employees some depreciation fees. Right?"

The shop assistant said unhurriedly.

"That makes sense."

Liu Zheng presented 1200 yuan.

He'd be a little reluctant to part with it if it were a gift for someone else.

But since he also has to help the plane tree steal things from the kitchen, then the coffee is well worth it.

As long as the cattle and horses are still around, this favor should be repaid.

Besides, there's salmon around, so that calico cat must be loyal.

If you have enough strength.

Thinking of this, Liu Zheng suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

Do you sell desserts here?

"Yes, these are newly arrived products."

The staff showed the menu.

Liu Zheng casually picked out a few items and bought a few extra cups of coffee.

"Is there anything else you need, sir?"

After taking the money, the shop assistant asked.

"Nothing."

Liu Zheng shook his head.

"Then, sir, you will need to pay my tip."

the clerk said.

"what?"

He looked like an old man using a cell phone on the subway.

No, you're just a cashier, why should you accept tips?

Even coffee shops in Europe and America don't have this rule, right?

"I'm sorry, sir, this is our store's policy."

The shop assistant said apologetically.

"how much is it?"

Liu Zheng suppressed his anger and asked.

He'd already spent so much money; he might have tolerated it if it wasn't too much.

Delivering takeout is the priority.

"One face is enough."

The shop assistant kept smiling.

???

Liu Zhenghan's hair stood on end.

He finally understood why the cleaning lady was smiling so strangely.
