"Just in time, there is one more contestant."

Red Dragonfly looks quite happy.

The bicycle was motionless and didn't seem to care.

"Aren't you afraid of dogs?"

Liu Zheng's claws are a little numb.

Chew Toy, who has always been successful, even failed sometimes.

Tindalos, you are a bit lost.

"This is just my clone. If it dies, just replace it with another one."

"As for it, according to the contract, Tindalos Hound cannot harm City Hall employees at will."

Red Dragonfly pointed to the box on the back seat of the bicycle and said.

Liu Zheng Then I saw four large characters painted in white paint on the box.

"Deadly Delivery".

A very good and strong name.

One postal delivery loses a postman or consignee, right?

"Okay, then tell me the rules first."

Since Chew Toy is invalid, then listen to the rules first. If it is unreliable, then think of other methods.

"The rules are very simple. Taking this line as the starting point, whoever reaches the finish line first wins."

Red Dragonfly said.

"Where is the end point?"

"The end point is determined by negotiation between both parties."

"Then I request that the destination be set at the 'Aladdin Din' apartment."

Liu Zheng said immediately.

"Dingle bell!"

The postman rang the bell.

"It agreed."

Red Dragonfly translated.

"What's the stakes in the game?"

he asked again.

"Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-dinging."

The car bell rang for a while.

"It says if you lose, give it the takeout box."

"If you win, it will send you a free postage."

Red Dragonfly translated again.

"It's a postal carrier, so why does it need my takeout box? Do you want to choke?"

Liu Zheng asked strangely.

"Ding-ding-ding-ding, ding-ding-ding."

"It says that it is a takeout box in your hand, but it can be changed into a mail box in its hand. It has been using this box for decades, and it should be replaced."

Red Dragonfly said.

"I want to change the box and report it to the superiors myself. My clothes are torn and I haven't seen me snatching them from others."

"You Deadly Delivery don't follow the rules as well as we Bloodstained Restaurant."

he said with disdain.

"Ding ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding!"

Work Gloves rang the car bell frantically, looking quite dissatisfied with what Liu Zheng said.

But Red Dragonfly just listened and did not translate.

"What does it say?"

He had no choice but to take the initiative to ask questions.

"It said."

Red Dragonfly was silent for a moment, seeming to organize his words.

"It said that the logistics people were all bastards. Its bell was broken. It was reported to the police for more than ten years but it was not replaced. Instead, it went to Garbage Processing Plant to find one, and it was almost dismantled into parts."

"I feel like it says more than that."

Liu Zheng raised his eyebrows.

"I dare to translate, do you dare to listen?"

Red Dragonfly had a sneer on his face.

"Don't dare."

He said simply.

The rest must be nothing but vulgar words about the City Hall.

As an employee of Bloodstained Restaurant, he still cares little about the affairs of other units.

"But it's not fair that you want to exchange my takeout box for a free delivery. Isn't it, Dragonfly Judge."

Liu Zheng said.

Even if Deadly Delivery is official, it won't be much more expensive than Bloodstained Restaurant's takeout.

What's more, the value of Legendary Delivery Box is not just a takeaway, it can even be said to be a priceless treasure.

"You are right, the referee must be fair and beautiful! You must put up an even bet, otherwise this game will be invalid."

Red Dragonfly turned to the postman and said.

The postman rang the bell angrily.

"No, although we are old friends. But the game is a game. As a referee, fair refereeing is the meaning of my existence."

Red Dragonfly is unmoved.

The postman let go of the bell in frustration, his two Work Gloves fingers faced each other, and he began to think.

"Hurry up. If this continues, I won't be able to deliver the food in time. I strongly suspect that it is stalling for time and using unfair means to affect the outcome of the game."

Liu Zheng protested.

"The protest is valid. I order you to make a decision within three minutes, otherwise the competition will be forfeited."

Red Dragonfly said to the postman.

"Dingle bell! Dingle bell!"

The postman Anger rang the bell, but was ignored by the referee.

Time passed by minute by minute, and soon three minutes would be up.

"Ding-ding-ding-ding! Ding-ding-ding-ling-ling!"

The postman had no choice but to ring the bell.

"It said it can provide an additional free door-to-door sign-in service."

Red Dragonfly translated.

"Are they equal in value?"

"There's no way to accurately evaluate it, but in terms of rarity, it basically matches."

Red Dragonfly said.

"So what is this door-to-door sign-in service?"

"It will give you a Delivery Slip. As long as you tear off the Delivery Slip, it will come to you instantly."

Red Dragonfly explained.

"I don't understand how this is equivalent to Legendary Delivery Box."

"My job is to make sure the game is fair and it is not within my scope to explain the bets."

Red Dragonfly said.

"That's it. Hey, Mr. Referee, do you think you dropped the banknote on the ground?"

Liu Zheng suddenly pointed at the ground and said.

"Save it, a fair referee won't do this. I'll warn you the first time, and I'll give you a yellow card next time you do it again."

Red Dragonfly said with a cold face.

"I didn't tell you earlier."

He quickly picked up the banknotes.

Landlords don't have much food left these days.

"By the way, I held a fishing competition at Sewer last time, why didn't you come?"

Liu Zheng remembered and asked.

"I don't know how to host all competitions. This time it's because you and it have special status, so we came in such a timely manner."

"Besides, Sewer doesn't welcome me either."

Red Dragonfly's tone seemed a little regretful.

But think about it, Cow-Horse or who said that Sewer does not welcome people who are too strong.

People like Red Dragonfly who dare to act as referees everywhere would have been beaten to death by the players if they were not strong enough.

"Then if you become a referee at Sewer, will there be any additional benefits?"

An idea struck him.

"Of course, do you have any ideas?"

Red Dragonfly's compound eyes lit up.

"I can't guarantee it, but I can ask you later. Leave your phone number and I'll let you know if there's any news."

Liu Zheng said.

Red Ghost and Fisherman are both resident at Sewer. Their strength must be beyond the standard, so they must have a way to deceive Sewer.

"I don't have a phone. You shout to the sky in the open ground, Captain Dragonfly, come to see you. I will come to you when I sense it."

Red Dragonfly said.

"That's okay too."

He was already used to the strange rules of these strange residents.

"The meaning of door-to-door signature service is that no matter where you are and no matter what is in front of you, the postman will appear in front of you instantly."

"And the postal service can not only send items, but also live animals."

Red Dragonfly explained.

"Oh~ There is indeed something else."

Liu Zheng suddenly said.

With his intelligence, it is easy to think of how to use these two services together.

For example, when you are stuck in a secret room that cannot be opened, you can summon the postman and let him transport you out of the secret room.

For example, when you encounter a strong enemy, you can also summon the postman to knock the enemy away and then send you away.

Overall, the usage is quite flexible and practical.

"But I still feel it's not as good as Legendary Delivery Box."

Liu Zheng said stubbornly.

"Protests are ineffective."

Red Dragonfly is cold-blooded and ruthless.

"Okay. Having said that, the strength of both sides of the competition must be fair, right? You can't compete with a long-distance running champion and a paralyzed person, right?"

He looked for trouble from a different angle.

"Don't worry, this referee will limit your strength to a similar level and ban any foreign objects on your body."

Red Dragonfly said.

"Then what else is there to compare with? Whose running posture is more scientific?"

"You'll know later. Okay, get ready, the game is about to begin."

Red Dragonfly ordered.

"Alas."

Liu Zheng stood helplessly at the starting line and got ready for the start.

"Captain Dragonfly Revolving Beacon!"

Red Dragonfly shouted, and a strange device fell from the sky.

There is a constantly rotating headlight placed on the circular base. The surface of the headlight is divided into many areas, and each area has a different color.

On top of the headlight stands a solid gold dragonfly statue.

"Captain Dragonfly Referee Baton!"

Red Dragonfly yelled again, and his opponent grabbed a long stick with metal wings that looked like a baton and Mike wind.

It waved Referee Baton, and Revolving Beacon immediately emitted colorful light, spreading forward at the speed of light.

And the city scene shrouded in light began to distort, becoming both close and far away.

There are also many floating illusory treasure chests on the road, with a black? number engraved around the treasure chests.

"Are the two contestants ready?"

Red Dragonfly asked loudly.

"Ready."

"Dingle bell!"

Liu Zheng replied together with the postman.

"Okay then, I announce that this time Urban Speed Legend Contest will start now."

"Three, two, one."

"Bang!"

A gorgeous firework shoots out from the top of Referee Baton.

"Whoosh!"

As soon as the starting gun was fired, Liu Zheng immediately ran out like a runaway Tindalos.

After running for a few steps, he found that his speed seemed to have no change.

In other words, Red Dragonfly limits the postman's strength to the same level as him.

Liu Zheng turned his head to look at the bicycle and found that its three-jointed leather shoes were almost making sparks from kicking off, but they were only parallel to his own.

He couldn't help but feel a little funny.

It seems that the key to winning or losing this game is those treasure chests.

I don't know why, but I felt a strong sense of déjà vu when I looked at those treasure chests Liu Zheng, but I couldn't remember them all at once.

Regardless of whether you think about it or not, take it first and then talk about it!

He rushed to the three treasure chests in the first row, then jumped hard and reached the middle one.

The illusory treasure chest immediately shattered and disappeared, and a blue disposable rocket launcher appeared on his shoulder.

Liu Zheng subconsciously pulled the trigger, and a crosshair immediately appeared in his field of vision.

He immediately aimed his sights at the postman, but saw the postman also holding a red rocket launcher pointed at him.

"BOOM!!!"

The two of them pulled the trigger again without hesitation.

Two rocket launchers, one blue and one red, hit each other at the same time and exploded loudly.

The huge firelight and heat wave spread rapidly, and metal fragments flew around, and were absorbed by the invisible boundary.

Liu Zheng was directly blown up to a height of more than ten meters. Looking at the postman who also fell to the ground, he finally remembered.

"Fuck! It turns out to be a fucking props competition!"
