The world has turned into Hell's Game, why should I stay human?
Chapter 702 - 497: Defeat the Damn Metropolis

Chapter 702: Chapter 497: Defeat the Damn Metropolis

"Still short seven hundred thousand."

Manager Hui said.

Still short seven hundred thousand, meaning his whole body was sold for three hundred thousand.

By real-world prices, that’s even more of a rip-off than a con man.

But according to Metropolis’ price levels, this is already a real friendly price.

"Then this seven hundred thousand..."

"Bao Wu-Mei said, this amount will be recorded on her account for now. Mr. Liu can pay it back whenever he has the money."

Manager Hui said.

Of course, Liu Zheng could choose not to pay it back, but in that case, the favor would become a priced obligation.

"I’m really grateful for that."

When a man is poor, his ambitions are short; he has to save his money for using the "scatter money" technique.

Being able to put it on account is naturally the best; it’s not good always to borrow money from Doctor Nile.

Although Doctor Nile probably wouldn’t mind Liu Zheng owing him money, hoping he’ll owe so much that only marrying into the family can repay it.

"What about the Dragon Egg?"

"Does Mr. Liu have a storage device?"

Manager Hui asked in return.

"Why?"

This was the first time someone asked Liu Zheng this question.

"The aura of the Dragon Egg is strong, carrying it directly will easily attract attention and cause unnecessary incidents. If Mr. Liu doesn’t have a storage device, we can deliver it to your door."

"Of course, we can only deliver it outside the Bloody Restaurant’s range."

Manager Hui gave him a "you know what I mean" look.

"I understand."

Since it’s from our own people, of course, it can’t be given to those at the restaurant for an extra meal.

"No problem, I have a way."

Liu Zheng said.

To say the least, although the system didn’t give him any newbie package or side quests with rich rewards, the built-in features were cheats themselves.

If there were no item descriptions, system space, or item protection features, the cost of actions would have been much higher.

"That’s fine then, Hu Liu, bring the Dragon Egg over."

Manager Hui made a call, and soon a delicate-looking young guy pushed a safe in.

"Is this person from the Hu Family?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Yes. By generations, he should call Yuan Baoer grand-aunt."

Manager Hui replied.

"Our five families generally handle their own businesses, trying not to overlap. But sometimes young people dislike their family business, so they work for other families."

"After all, being bossed around by your own is better than being exploited by outsiders."

He said frankly.

"Makes sense."

Family at most does mental manipulation; outside companies literally exploit.

Manager Hui walked to the safe, removed the key from his neck, and inserted it into the keyhole.

With a twist of the key, the safe immediately fell like a magic box, revealing its contents.

A green egg with a scaly shell, half as tall as a person.

Even though it was just a dead embryo inside, Liu Zheng still felt the powerful aura the Dragon Egg emitted, like an ordinary person facing an adult tiger with bare hands.

"This is the egg of a Green Dragon. Green Dragons have mastered the power of nature and have stronger vitality compared to other Five-Colored Dragons of the same level, so this Dragon Egg remains in a dead embryo state instead of fully materializing."

Manager Hui explained.

"What are the Five Colors of Dragons?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Red Dragon, Blue Dragon, Green Dragon, White Dragon, Black Dragon. The Five-Colored Dragons are the most common Dragons in Metropolis, producing more than half of the Dragon Clan commodities here."

Manager Hui replied.

After listening, Liu Zheng seemed deep in thought.

The Dragon Clans of the four Obsidian Pillars are Blue Dragon, Green Dragon, White Dragon, Black Dragon, plus the note on the Dragon Fishing Rod.

Could it be...

He shook his head, choosing not to delve further.

Peeking into the boss’s privacy is clearly not a good idea, especially since this boss already showed her stinginess.

Liu Zheng placed his hand on the Dragon Egg; the item description immediately popped up.

"Name: Cursed Green Dragon Feather Egg"

"Category: Item"

"Quality: Excellent"

"Effect One: After use, Strength and Constitution +10, replenish a large amount of stamina."

"Effect Two: After use, there is a certain probability to acquire the ’Dragon Descendant (Green Dragon)’ bloodline, with a small chance of mutation."

"Effect Three: After use, obtain the ’egg thief’ status, lasting for an entire instance."

"Note: Damn thief, I will find you and turn you into a wailing tree!"

"Can be carried out of instance: Yes"

"Warning, ’Dragon Descendant (Green Dragon)’ bloodline conflicts with the current player state, forced awakening will result in uncontrollable consequences."

"egg thief: Initial favorability with the Five-Colored Dragon Clan and player is reduced to hatred, Green Dragon’s initial favorability is reduced to arch-enemy. Blood relatives of the Dragon Egg will automatically lock onto the player’s position within a 5km radius, ignoring most aura concealment or visual interference effects."

"Thankfully, I’m not going to eat it."

Looking at the effect of the "egg thief", Liu Zheng sighed in relief.

If eaten, how would he dare to stroll down the street? He might be turned into ash by Dragon flame at any moment.

"Then again, why does any bloodline conflict?"

He couldn’t help but complain.

Is it that Hell’s Game doesn’t approve of bloodline fusion, or is the Black Mountain Goat Cub bloodline too solitary to have friends?

"Then I’ll be off."

Liu Zheng stowed the Dragon Egg and said.

A lot of time has passed already, and he needs to rush to the next place.

"Take care, Mr. Liu."

After leaving the shop, he got into the sports car.

"To the ’Medical Bee’ pharmacy."

"Okay."

The driver hit the gas again, reaching the destination.

"This storefront doesn’t look like a regular pharmacy at all."

Looking at the "Medical Bee" pharmacy before him, Liu Zheng remarked with sarcasm.

Other pharmacies are either at the entrance of residential areas or near office buildings, but the "Medical Bee" is in a small alley, isolated from any shop or village.
