Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

Faced with a choice between professional ethics and career, he chose money without much hesitation.

But just as Liu was about to contact the developer, the hospital's test results came back.

He was diagnosed with ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis).

Then there's nothing to say.

A cultured and skilled person, as long as he is not afraid of death and has no family, can unleash almost limitless power.

I won't go into the details of the process, but in short, both the editor-in-chief and the developer paid the price they deserved.

"I didn't realize you were a guy with a story to tell."

The ox and horse pursed their lips.

"Everyone has a story these days, right? Like you, boss, your story of escaping the farm with the pig-headed man back then must be quite exciting, right?"

Liu Zheng gave a small compliment.

"You've got guts, kid. I wouldn't even dare call it that. It has another nickname: The Butcher of Heaven."

The ox and horse glared at him.

"Heaven's Butcher?"

“That’s right. We’re not actually from the same farm. Its farm is called ‘Paradise,’ which specializes in raising its own breed. Mine is called ‘103,’ and it raises about twenty or thirty kinds of large livestock.”

Niu Ma recalled.

"Then how did you get sold out by the Madoka Cult?"

"What bad luck. I just escaped from the farm and got caught red-handed by the Round God Cult who came to steal things."

"Damn it, if I had left a minute earlier or later, I wouldn't have to suffer like this."

The ox and horse said indignantly.

"Those who survive a great calamity are bound to have good fortune in the future."

Liu Zheng comforted him.

"And then you were sold to a restaurant?"

“That’s right. At first, it was used as a backup ingredient, but then it killed almost all the kitchen staff, so I applied for a job there. Later, when the delivery department was short-staffed, I transferred to the delivery department.”

"The ox and horse said."

"That Butcher of Heaven is your savior."

"Heh, how do you think it got off the roasting rack?"

Niu Ma gave a cold laugh.

"Boss, is this something that can be said openly and honestly?"

Liu Zheng was shocked.

"It doesn't matter."

The oxen and horses shook their hooves.

"The current management of the restaurant, except for those from Britain, all came up to the position later. If you have to say something, they should thank it."

"Is Britain very strong?"

"It is indeed strong, but in terms of raw power, I can't beat it."

The cattle and horses admitted it.

"As for Napoleon, he probably wouldn't be able to defeat him without resorting to the Seven Deadly Sins."

"Damn it, I just need a proper set of equipment, otherwise none of them would be a match for me."

The ox and horse cursed.

"It's alright, I'll leave the Legendary Deliveryman Set for you."

Liu Zheng said.

"Keep it for yourself. I'm quitting when I get back from my vacation anyway. I've come to realize over the years that working for someone else is a dead end. If you want to get rich, you have to be your own boss."

"The ox and horse said."

"I'd say each has its advantages."

He wasn't as extreme as Niu Ma.

For strong creatures like oxen and horses, it's natural to feel that working for others is not worthwhile.

But for a weak person like Liu Zheng, it's still better to take shelter under a big tree.

Even if it were a cow or a horse, if it weren't a restaurant employee, the plane tree would probably have killed it during the fake alcohol incident.

"Then we'll first expand the restaurant's distribution channels, then absorb all the resources of the Yuanshen Cult, and finally expand our business into the black market."

Niu Ma has begun to plan its own business empire.

"Would you steal things from the '103' farm like them?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Isn't that obvious? Where would the low cost come from if we didn't steal?"

The ox and horse said this with a straight face.

"What about the stolen cattle and horses? Were they sold to restaurants too?"

"Sell!"

Niu Ma said firmly.

"Even if it's my wife and children, I can still sell them if they can't afford to eat one day."

"Domineering."

Liu Zheng put his four tentacles together and pretended to give a thumbs up.

That's just how the world is. Do you know how I escaped from the farm?

"How did you escape?"

He asked cooperatively.

"Because I lied to them, saying that I would open the gate and let them all out after I went out."

"They believed it?"

"I believe it. They willingly acted as stepping stones for me, and even went one after another to crash into the high-voltage power grid, causing the grid to be overloaded."

"A bunch of idiots, they believe that kind of talk. Just because I took a few beatings for them? Just because I told them what the outside world is like?"

"How the hell would I know what the outside world is like? I made that up."

The cattle and horses cursed loudly.

"If you hadn't been captured by the Yuanshen Cult, would you have opened the door for them?"

"of course not."

Niu Ma said without hesitation.

"Boss, you're a real beast."

Liu Zheng raised his giant tentacles once again.

"If you're itching for a beating, just say so. I'll go borrow a razor from Napoleon to relieve your itch."

Niu Ma glanced at him sideways.

"No need, no need, I can just scratch it myself. But seriously, aren't you afraid that telling me this so frankly will make me wary of you?"

"If I don't tell you, you won't be wary of me anymore?"

"hehe."

"hehe."

The two beasts looked at each other and smiled.

"When you're talking to smart people, you have to be honest. If you can really help me make my business successful, as long as you don't cheat me out of my money, I'll protect you."

"The ox and horse said."

"Don't worry, all I want is to live. Money is just a tool to me."

"That's best."

The oxen and horses nodded.

Just as the two were about to end their conversation, Ghost Hand silently crawled in.

This time, however, it didn't leave after putting down the order.

Chapter 66 Finger-licking Original Flavor Kun Kun

The cattle and horses ignored them and went back to the haystack on their own.

Liu Zheng looked at the ghost hand and felt a little numb.

Unable to speak, and with no expression at all, how can we communicate?

But soon, the ghost hand began to move.

It held up one finger and pointed to the paper bag next to Liu Zheng.

The paper bag contained the unfortunate coffee.

He understood what Ghost Hand meant, and then shook his head.

This cup has already been promised to the novelist.

In this world, credibility seems to be quite important.

However, besides coffee, he had other things.

Liu Zheng took a strawberry pudding out of his pocket and handed it to Ghost Hand.

This was originally meant for him to eat himself, but now he has no choice but to give it up.

Looking at the bright red and juicy strawberries on the pudding, Liu Zheng swallowed hard.

Sugar is a basic human need, and studies have shown that sugar is more addictive than tobacco and alcohol, making it a veritable "legal addictive substance."

Some psychologists even prescribe candy and chocolate to patients because consuming enough sugar can effectively reduce feelings of depression and frustration.

Liu Zheng feels that he is quite depressed right now.

Seemingly noticing his expression, a sharp nail suddenly popped out from the tip of Ghost Hand's finger.

The cattle and horses, with their eyes closed, trembled violently, startling Liu Zheng as well.

But the ghost hand wasn't trying to attack him; it just scratched the cup of pudding.

The pudding was perfectly divided in two.

The ghost hand sprouted a mouth from its palm again, swallowed half a pudding along with the cup, and then leisurely crawled away.

Liu Zheng picked up the pudding and poured it into his mouth.

The sweet and sour taste of strawberries combined with the smooth texture of pudding brought a slight smile to his face.

"You're actually a succubus, aren't you?"

Niu Ma couldn't help but complain.

"We may be close, but watch out, I might sue you for defamation, boss. I'm a legitimate 'person'."

"What a load of rubbish! I've never seen a human get along this well."

"The ox and horse said."

"You haven't seen it. The legendary food deliveryman Li is doing very well."

"You even know his name?"

The oxen and horses stared wide-eyed.
