Chapter 370: Chapter 334: The Three Giants of the Bloody Restaurant Have Gathered

The sound of dice echoed in the void, spinning erratically like the footsteps of the Grim Reaper.

"...No, seriously, what’s going on with your group?"

Hai Mei was thoroughly flustered.

"Really?"

The crowd had a sinister premonition.

"Counter-attack is a great success."

As soon as Hai Mei’s words fell, all the tentacles sprang into action, with even the initial tentacle escaping the hook and fiercely lashing out at everyone in the room.

"Given the special circumstances of this session, an additional round of discussion is granted for the players."

Four tentacles halted in mid-air, like four taut steel cables.

"Folks, have a good journey. I’ll burn paper money for you outside the board game cafe."

Liu Zheng waved at the other three players and then pulled out a delivery receipt.

If one tentacle nearly killed them, with four acting together they stood no chance at all.

The three players looked at the delivery receipt in his hand with fierce expressions.

"I advise you not to waste your lives, you don’t even qualify to die by my hand."

Liu Zheng said calmly.

"Tendaros Hound!"

The three stared at the chew toy in his hand, their tone alarmed.

"Right, you recognize it."

He patted the chew toy as he spoke.

It had been a while since he used this to threaten someone, he felt somewhat nostalgic.

"You’re that new delivery guy from Bloody Restaurant."

Player number four pointed at Liu Zheng and said.

"Hmm? You know me?"

He asked, puzzled.

He didn’t remember knowing such a guy.

After entering Metropolis, the people Liu Zheng knew had either become friends or corpses.

The rest who were still alive weren’t forced to play board games.

"I don’t know you, but I’ve heard of your story."

Player number four swallowed nervously as he spoke.

He worked in the media industry. Stories like the sewer bursting, the Sunshine pet shop row getting bombed, the bombing of the 11th floor at West River Center, he naturally couldn’t be unaware of them.

Of course, for certain unspeakable reasons, these were not reported publicly, only circulated on a small scale.

As the main culprit, Liu Zheng’s related information of course was also circulated.

But most of it was fragmented and couldn’t be collated under the influence of some force.

What player number four knew was one of Liu Zheng’s habits of using the Tendaros Hound’s chew toy to intimidate people.

"Good, knowing my story makes things easier. Let’s not interfere with each other; you go your way to the netherworld, and I’ll ride my delivery bike."

He said earnestly.

"Can’t your delivery bike fit a few more people?"

Player number one couldn’t help but ask.

"No, and even if it could take you out, what would be the point? Didn’t you sign a contract?"

Liu Zheng said.

As he said this, the other players immediately fell silent.

Indeed, Liu Zheng could leave anytime, but they couldn’t.

The outcome of a failed game and the punishment for breaking the contract were essentially the same, it was just a matter of which way was quicker to die.

"Actually, there’s another way."

Player number three suddenly said.

"What way?"

"The Black Book."

All eyes turned towards Liu Zheng.

Indeed, the Black Book was the highest-level item they had acquired so far, and the main reason Wozky Shode became a key player.

Although due to player number two’s incredibly bad luck, the Black Book had not been effective until now.

But there was a chance to restore sanity during the game, and sanity was automatically restored at the end of each module.

Most importantly, this module had opportunities to pay costs using the player’s own sanity.

"You want me to pay the price with my own sanity?"

Liu Zheng immediately understood their implication.

"Exactly."

"Ha, am I your dear dad or are you my dear grandchildren?"

He scoffed at their absurd expectations.

Though Liu Zheng had Legendary Armor to exempt sanity loss, it did not mean he was obliged to use it for them.

Besides the sanity cost, who knew if using the Black Book might have other consequences.

"What do you want? Just say it."

Player number three said earnestly.

"Fine. I have two issues troubling me right now; if you can help me solve them, I’ll use the Black Book for you."

Liu Zheng said, considering his options.

"Speak."

"First, help me contact Fei Shibu or the Fool from the writers’ association."

"Second, help me investigate the whereabouts of Jennifer, who used to be an elevator operator at West River Center and reportedly returned to Old City District after quitting."

Actually, he had more issues, but the others involved different powers, and telling them might leak information.

"I can handle the first task."

Player number four immediately said.

The media industry was closely related to the writers’ association, and contacting famous writers like Fei Shibu and the Fool wasn’t difficult.

"I can try the second task."

Player number one stated.

Being from Old City District and a minor gang leader there, with the name and former job, it shouldn’t be hard to find her.

"Then I’ll pay."

Player number three crisply declared.

"Good. I trust you’ll all keep your promises."

Liu Zheng said, smiling.

"Of course. Even if we weren’t worried about you coming to collect, we’d still need you to clear the following modules."

Player number three replied.

"That’s true. Alright, host, I apply to use the Black Book Fragment."

He said.

"Approved. But player number two currently lacks sufficient sanity points."

Hai Mei said.

"Then I’ll pay with my own sanity points."
