Liu Zheng entered the men's locker room.

The space inside is quite large, and the cabinets are all old-fashioned wooden cabinets with some signs of moisture.

If it were in reality, he would probably turn around and leave.

If you dare to charge him a thousand yuan, wouldn't it be nice to go directly to the Cadillac car owner group to find out?

Ahem, don't get me wrong, Liu Zheng is not Cadillac, joining the group is just for work.

But in Metropolis, he has no choice.

Compared with the outrageous price of 100,000 yuan to take a shower with a fire hydrant, 1,000 yuan to take a happy bath for the elderly seems to be quite good.

"8808."

Liu Zheng looked at the cards in his hand, looking for his own in the rows and rows of cabinets.

Soon, he found the target in the southeast corner.

Use the key to open the cabinet door. There is nothing else inside, only a bottle of something that looks like shampoo.

Liu Zheng picked it up and saw "Super-Strength Deodorizing Stain Remover" written on it.

He looked down and saw that there was neither an ingredient list nor a production date, just a line of small print.

It is corrosive, so pregnant women and citizens who are not thick-skinned should use it with caution!!!

"Heh."

It's still the same cool head and grimace as always, and it's in line with the Metropolis style tips.

After taking off all clothes and putting the items into the system space, Liu Zheng picked up the deodorant and walked towards the shower area.

Passing through a small aisle, you came to a preparation area.

To the left is the bathing area, and to the right is the shower area.

There are a large number of bath towels, hand towels, slippers and other toiletries piled here. There is no one to look after them and you have to do it yourself.

Anyway, his hooves were non-slip, so he didn't change into slippers. He just picked up a few towels and walked towards the shower area.

The shower area is separated by curtains, which is a good thing.

Liu Zheng has also been to some old-fashioned bathhouses, where there are shower heads and rows of white flowers at a glance.

As a young person in the new era, it is still a bit embarrassing.

He chose an innermost compartment and turned on the faucet.

There is a lot of water and the temperature is also very high, but with the insulation of the outer carapace, Liu Zheng just feels comfortable.

He picked up the shampoo next to him, and this time it was even more extreme, without even explaining it.

But he got used to it, unscrewed the cap of the bottle and poured it over his head.

Anyway, if you pay the cleaning fee, it will be in vain if you don't use it.

However, Liu Zheng poured a bottle and rubbed it for a long time, but there was not even a bubble on the seaweed head.

Now, this ordinary shampoo can't clean the shit stains on his head.

He tried the shower gel again and got the same result.

Liu Zheng finally recognized the reality and sprayed "Super-Strength Deodorizing Stain Remover" on himself.

A stream of thick blue liquid sprayed onto his body, and it immediately started to smoke.

The surface of the part in contact with the liquid gradually melts away, revealing the flesh and blood underneath.

Then the flesh and blood was corroded and turned into blackened charcoal.

"Hey, it's so exciting."

Liu Zheng bared his teeth and continued to spray deodorant.

After spraying the entire bottle of deodorant, his whole body had grown again.

Open the valve and flush away the remaining rotten flesh.

Liu Zheng tried it with the shampoo I took from the side, and finally there were bubbles this time.

"If I had known earlier, I might as well have peeled off the skin myself with Boning Knife."

He couldn't help but complain.

There is no need to spend so much money on renting a car or hiring a driver, as well as extra cleaning fees and tips.

But after all, he probably couldn't get rid of the odor without this bottle of deodorant.

I took a comfortable shower, Liu Zheng dried my body, dried my seaweed head, and returned to the preparation area.

Putting on his bath towel, he walked through the passage and came to the bathing area.

To his surprise, the bathing area was actually outdoors and was a natural hot spring.

Liu Zheng can even smell a slight smell of sulfur in the air.

And there is no one in the hot spring pool now, which means he can enjoy it all to himself.

Then it seems that the one thousand yuan spent is not so bad.

Liu Zheng looked around, but did not find the shrine Cow-Horse mentioned, but found that the water was quite deep.

So he walked to the edge of the bathing pool, jumped into the hot spring with a diving gesture, and exploded into large splashes of water.

"Hahaha."

This act of returning to childlike innocence made him feel comfortable and couldn't help but laugh.

But when Liu Zheng raised his head from the water, he couldn't laugh anymore.

Because he discovered that a shrine was floating on the water not far away, looking at him.

"Gan!"

I just knew there was no such thing as a good thing.

Liu Zheng looked at the statue in the shrine, and the statue seemed to be looking at him.

The image of the statue is an old man holding a sea bream and holding a fishing rod.

He wore a tall squid-like hat and a hunting suit worn by nobles.

Liu Zheng Looking at the statue of the god, it always feels familiar.

Soon he remembered, wasn't this the Ebisu that absorbed the giant "Gurotes Cells" in "Ultraman Mebius" and then lowered the Ultraman Mebius into a low profile?

"It's over."

He secretly thought something was wrong.

Liu Zheng checked the information of Ebisu after watching that episode. Different from his funny appearance, his status is actually quite high.

According to legend, He is the first child of Izanagi and Izanami, who was born earlier than Amaterasu Omikami.

But because of his ugly appearance, the two great gods did not like him, so they put him in the river and floated away with the current.

Therefore, it is generally believed that He had the priesthood of fishing and navigation.

At the same time, Ebisu is also the patron saint of traveling Renhe merchants, ranking first among Seven Lucky Gods, which is equivalent to the combined and upgraded version of Five-Routes God of Wealth in the Huaguo myth.

If such a great God of Wealth comes to him and wants to worship him, if he says something nice, he must not be able to bankrupt his fortune, right?

No matter how annoying it is, the process still has to go through.

Liu Zheng swam to the shrine, clapped his hands three times and bowed three times as Jinzi said.

Then he took out a few banknotes and placed them in front of Ebisu.

"Buy more steamed buns! Buy more steamed buns!"

Ebisu The snapper in his hand opened its mouth slightly and made a sound like a child.

He knows some Japanese and knows that this means "business is booming".

Although he said auspicious words, Ebisu looked anything but auspicious.

Its wooden eyes glowed slightly red, and the snapper's dead fish eyes stared intently at Liu Zheng.

Apparently, the god was not satisfied with the offerings.

Liu Zheng had no choice but to go through the process again.

This time, he directly deposited two thousand yuan.

However, Ebisu was still dissatisfied and his eyes even turned redder.

The snapper also became restless and flapped its tail.

Liu Zheng had no choice but to offer another five thousand.

Ebisu was finally satisfied, and the red light in his eyes gradually dissipated.

The snapper in its hand flicked its tail suddenly and flew into Liu Zheng's arms.

"Name: Ebisu's Taiyaki"

"Type: prop"

"Quality: Excellent"

"Effect: Permanently slightly increases the player's luck value."

"Remarks: If you offer more, you will eat the fish. If you offer less, the fish will eat you."

"Can copies be taken out: Yes"

This thing is actually a prop.

He tentatively picked up the snapper and took a bite.

"."

Liu Zheng released the snapper with an expressionless expression and looked at the shallow teeth marks on it.

Sure enough, it's just called Taiyaki, but the material is still wood, and it's harder than ordinary wood.

However, I can barely eat it.

After all, something that cost nearly 10,000 yuan cannot be wasted.

He tore off pieces of wood silk with difficulty, stuffed them into his mouth and swallowed them.

Needless to say, it still tastes a little sweet after chewing it a few times.

After finally finishing the taiyaki, Liu Zheng was ready to take a dip in the hot springs.

Suddenly, the sound of rapid footsteps came from the other side of the passage.

He frowned slightly and looked at the person.
