The world has turned into Hell's Game, why should I stay human?

Chapter 408: 352

Glass revolving doors, Roman columns, and a little fountain at the entrance.

Compared to a bath center, Ga Ga Shuang Bathhouse’s decor was more akin to that of a luxurious hotel.

"It truly is one of the top ten bathhouses, the decoration is quite extravagant," Liu Zheng said with interest.

"I think it was renovated just last year, but I heard the prices haven’t really increased much after the renovations—pretty conscientious."

Niu Daji said.

"Oh? That’s really conscientious then," he mused thoughtfully.

No business without deceit; having spent so much on renovations, they definitely needed to recoup the costs from the customers.

Either increase the prices, add more services, or cut costs—if Ga Ga Shuang Bathhouse hadn’t done any of these, it would mean they valued reputation over short-term profits.

Having made it to the top ten bathhouses and still maintaining such a mindset meant they were aiming for something big.

It seemed there might be some gains this time.

"Hey, isn’t that Niu Daji? At this hour, what are you doing here instead of being on duty outside?"

A voice said mockingly.

Liu Zheng turned around, a car similar to a Santana had stopped behind them, and a goat-headed person stretched his neck out from the passenger window.

"What? Your mom finally couldn’t afford your useless pile of siblings, so she sent you to apply for a security job?"

He taunted.

"Sheep XiXi, fuck..."

Niu Daji opened his mouth to curse, but after glancing at Liu Zheng, he held it back.

"Who is he?"

Liu Zheng asked, noticing his indignant expression.

"The young master is called Sheep XiXi, and Sheep XiXi is the young master. What, are you the new sucker he’s found? How come I’ve never seen you around Bathhouse Street?"

Sheep XiXi said brashly.

"It’s my first time here,"

he replied.

"No wonder, I was wondering how there could be someone on this street I haven’t seen. Buddy, I advise you not to hang around with this guy. His family, aside from relying on looking honest to cheat and deceive, never really succeeds in doing anything legit,"

Sheep XiXi said.

"Oh?"

Liu Zheng looked back at Niu Daji.

To his surprise, Niu Daji didn’t seem very angry.

"Sir, don’t listen to this kid’s nonsense, we do handle quite a few legitimate matters,"

Niu Daji quickly explained.

So you’re not denying your family relies on looking honest to cheat and deceive, huh?

Liu Zheng smirked, but he didn’t take it too seriously.

After all, swindling seemed to be an innate skill at Metropolis, and he wasn’t much better himself.

"So what exactly is the situation between you two?"

he asked with interest.

"We..."

"Hello."

Just as Sheep XiXi was about to speak, a security guard wearing a dark cyan coat and a gold-rimmed broad-brimmed hat approached.

The security guard looked just like a normal human, not very old, and looked spirited, except for a slightly protruding belly.

"Sorry, big brother, no parking at the entrance. Could you give me the keys, and I’ll park for you? You go ahead inside with your friends?"

He saluted Sheep XiXi and then bent over to speak.

"Who said they’re my friends? Niu Daji, if you dare, don’t leave, wait until I’ve parked and then I’ll come find you."

Sheep XiXi pointed at Niu Daji and then drove the car towards the parking lot.

"Let’s go,"

Liu Zheng said.

"Ah, are we not waiting for him?"

Niu Daji paused.

"What, you want to fight him?"

Liu Zheng glanced at him.

"I thought with all his bluster, you’d teach him a serious lesson,"

Niu Daji scratched his head.

"He’s blustery towards you, not me. Besides, even if we were to teach him a lesson, it can’t happen here,"

he shook his head.

"So what do you suggest?"

"Didn’t you say ’what you looking at’ felt amazing after you won last time? If we’re going to teach him a lesson, we’ll talk inside,"

Liu Zheng said.

"Sir, you are truly a city man, so clever,"

Niu Daji said admiringly.

"The three honored guests, please,"

The security guard took the initiative to open a side door for them.

He now knew they weren’t actually greeting a friend, so he didn’t want them to linger at the entrance anymore.

After all, the outside was his area of responsibility, and any trouble would fall on him.

"Lead the way to the front hall, three guests,"

The security guard said as he opened the door.

"Three guests..."

Liu Zheng twitched his mouth.

He was beyond commenting on the chaotic references in Metropolis.

"Three esteemed guests, this way please~"

A greeter dressed in a grey shirt and black trousers approached.

"Are the three distinguished guests here for single bath tickets or the package?"

He asked while leading them towards a couch.

"A ticket is just for a bath, but the package includes scrubbing, eating, massage, singing karaoke, and such. Is it your first time here?"

The greeter explained.

"Yes, it’s my first time,"

Liu Zheng nodded.

"Then are you here just to bathe, or do you want to try several activities?"

The greeter asked.

"Coming all this way, I’d naturally like to experience quite a bit more,"

he replied.

"Then take a package. Looking at you, I can tell you’re a respectable person. I recommend the 388 package—bath, meal, scrub, massage, fruit platter, and tea are all included. If you were our VIP, an additional facial treatment would also be gifted."

The greeter sized up Liu Zheng and continued.

"Of course, looking at your skin, you don’t need the skincare. It can be swapped for another service of equal value, or if you have other requests, we try our best to accommodate,"

his diction was very clear, but his accent was heavy and distinctive.

"So how does one become a VIP here?"

Liu Zheng asked then paused.
