Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

Liu Zheng sighed.

"What?"

"The fisherman told me to go and seduce his daughter."

"what?"

The cattle and horses immediately woke up from their sleepiness.

Is his daughter ugly?

"On the contrary, it is beautiful by human standards."

"Oh, that's really ugly."

The oxen and horses nodded.

"Looks don't matter, I'm face-blind anyway. The main problem is that he doesn't even know what his daughter likes, which is really difficult."

Liu Zheng shook his head slightly.

"What's there to be afraid of? If you can't get her, you'll just have to force yourself on her."

The ox and horse urged.

"Boss, do you have some misunderstanding about my abilities?"

If the fisherman can hold his own against the entire kitchen, what kind of person is his daughter?

"So cowardly and you still want to pick up girls? Back when I was pursuing my wife, I just went for it head-on."

The oxen and horses straightened their chests.

"And then it succeeded?"

"Then she forced herself on me."

"Xu~~~"

Liu Zheng let out a long hiss.

"The process isn't the point; the result is the same anyway."

"Good good."

crunch.

The trapdoor was pushed open, and the ghostly hand quietly crept in.

This time, it didn't go to Liu Zheng, but instead left the takeout order at the door and prepared to slip away.

Liu Zheng took a step forward and blocked the exit.

Ghost Hand stood frozen in place, somewhat at a loss.

"Ugh."

He sighed at the ceiling, then gestured for Ghost Hand to wait.

Although Ghost Hand's actions this time were too reckless, the result was indeed good, so he couldn't completely ignore it.

However, it's impossible to give him alcohol; another drunken outburst would surely give him a heart attack.

Liu Zheng took a can of drink from the cabinet, squatted down, and handed it to Ghost Hand.

Ghost Hand didn't take it immediately.

He held the drink out of its hand, and the ghostly hand opened its mouth and swallowed it.

It patted Liu Zheng on the shoulder and then climbed out of the lounge.

Liu Zheng noticed that there was an X-shaped wound on the back of its hand.

Golden molten lava rolled inside, scorching the wound and preventing it from healing.

"He's still alive? Could this guy be a relative of the mayor?"

The cattle and horses came over.

"Could that wound be..."

"Yes."

The ox and horse nodded.

It was mentioned before that Si Xue liked to take golden baths.

The topic ends here.

Liu Zheng picked up the takeout order and looked at the contents.

"Meal: One serving of pickled fish."

Address: 'Red Witch' Board Game Store

"Orderer: Ama (female diver)"

Time limit: twelve hours.

"Twelve hours? Are you crazy?"

The cattle and horses on the side were almost startled to death.

It doesn't even dare to imagine how much extra money such a long delivery time would cost; it's probably enough to buy a scalped ticket to Paradise Island.

"Never underestimate a father's determination not to let his daughter marry a blond man."

"gone."

Liu Zheng carried the delivery box on his back.

"what?"

"By imperial decree, I am tasked with picking up girls."

Chapter 84 I Won't Let You Leave If You Don't Play

After leaving the restaurant, Liu headed straight for the street lined with plane trees.

The annual ring contract is an unstable time bomb; it's better to complete it sooner rather than later.

"Have you received the goods yet?"

As soon as he saw him, the plane tree couldn't wait to ask.

"It's in hand."

Liu Zheng nodded and took out the Epoch Acorn.

He grabbed the plane tree and stuffed it into his mouth.

A vast and ancient aura immediately appeared, spreading outwards from its center.

Liu Zheng seemed to see an oak tree, almost as tall as the sky and as large as a mountain range, standing in the endless sea of ​​trees, with countless spirits praying devoutly beneath it.

But the illusion soon disappeared.

He looked at the plane tree, whose face looked somewhat constipated.

"Evolution failed?"

"No, it's just that I didn't expect evolution to involve selection."

The plane trees return.

"What's the choice? Tell me and I'll give you some advice."

"What advice can a mere human like you offer me?"

The plane tree took the opportunity to express its disdain for Liu Zheng, but still told him the truth.

"I now have two evolutionary paths: one is to evolve into a tree spirit, and the other is to evolve into a phoenix."

"What's the difference?"

"I don't know either. Only a small amount of memories are passed down in the Epoch Acorn. Anyway, the tree spirit is probably a higher level tree, with a certain ability to move, but it still needs to be rooted in the earth. Becoming a phoenix, on the other hand, allows one to completely break free from the earth and gain true freedom."

"It's a plane tree," said the French plane tree.

"Then I'd definitely choose Phoenix."

Liu Zheng said without hesitation.

"Idiot human. To become a phoenix, I have to build a nest, lay eggs, incubate them, and finally hatch. This process takes at least a month, during which I have almost no ability to protect myself. What's the difference between that and suicide?"

"It's a plane tree," said the French plane tree.

"But deep down, you yearn to become a phoenix, don't you?"

"how do you know?"

"With such demanding conditions, why would you hesitate if you didn't truly desire it? Besides, you've mentioned birds several times; you must envy their ability to fly, right?"

Liu Zheng stared into its eyes and said.

"Who, who's envious?"

The beak of the London plane tree is harder than its roots.

"If you're worried about safety, I have an idea. Do you want to hear it?"

"Hmph, say what you want to say, it's none of my business."

The plane trees turned their faces away.

"Niu Ma wants to smuggle goods out of the restaurant, and he happens to need an accomplice. I can have him protect you until you hatch, and then you can help him with the smuggling. How about it?"

"It? A piece of trash that sells fake alcohol, I don't trust it."

The plane tree simply shook its head.

"If you don't trust it, don't you trust me?"

"With your limited strength, if the cattle and horses break the contract, do you think you can stop them?"

The plane tree scoffed.

"You have a growth ring contract, why don't you have the cattle and horses sign one too?"

Liu Zheng came up with a solution.

"I can only sign one annual ring contract right now, and I've already signed one with you. If I want to increase the number, I need to evolve to a higher level."

To sign a contract, you must first become more advanced; to evolve, you must sign a contract.

It's an endless loop.

"And do you really dare to let me evolve into a phoenix?"

"It's a plane tree," the French plane tree suddenly said.

"What do you mean?"

"Once I evolve into a phoenix, I will no longer be a tree, and the annual ring contract will automatically become invalid. At that time, the first thing I will do is eat you."

The plane tree said with a half-smile.

"I see. Then never mind, you should evolve into a tree."

Liu Zheng shrugged.

"Hmph, I knew humans couldn't be trusted. Get lost, I hate seeing you."

The plane trees are driving people away.

"Then think about it yourself."

He left behind the tequila and SB calcium milk, and headed towards the "Red Witch" board game arcade.

Behind him, the plane trees gazed at the sky.

"Being able to fly isn't necessarily a good thing."

It spoke softly, its gaze seemingly reaching beyond the atmosphere.
