"Boss Chef, you really want me to die."

Liu Zheng's eyelids jumped.

He even had to hide from Green Vest, but he also went to blow up the store of Special Operations Team member?

White-Feather Chicken Why don't you just ask him to find Si Xue solo?

"It's a former member."

White-Feather Chicken emphasized.

"What's the difference?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"What the former member means is that he has lost the protection of the City Hall, and also lost the ability and equipment as a member of Special Operations Team."

White-Feather Chicken said.

"But he was admitted to Special Operations Team because of his strength, right?"

He caught the loophole in White-Feather Chicken's words.

"Indeed."

White-Feather Chicken had no choice but to admit it.

"Give me a clear standard. How does his strength compare with my boss?"

Liu Zheng asked bluntly.

"Hey! Don't compare anything with me. I'm not a fucking unit of measurement."

Cow-Horse said angrily.

"If it is based on its current strength, then that person should be stronger than it."

White-Feather Chicken thought for a while and said.

"Then it's over. If I can kill him, why don't I become the boss of the Delivery Department?"

He spread out his tentacles.

Then he was kicked by Cow-Horse, and he was beaten to pieces.

"I've seen that you kid wants to rebel. Come on, let's have a fight now. If you beat me, I'll be your little brother."

Cow-Horse shouted.

"Just to give you an example, a boss for one day is a boss for life. How could I betray him?"

Liu Zheng got up and said with a smile.

"Besides, you're going to run away with your bucket soon. I'm supposed to inherit this position."

"Huh, just you, when I leave, I will parachute a department boss down."

Cow-Horse said disdainfully.

Being the boss of a department requires hard power, and connections can only make people fear you, not surrender.

"Then let's talk about it then."

He shrugged.

Cow-Horse ran away before he ran away. Not to mention parachuting in a department boss, even if the department was abolished, it would have no impact on him.

"That person has a weakness that you can exploit."

White-Feather Chicken finally spoke after struggling for a long time.

"What weakness?"

"He likes to mate with furry creatures that have cloaca."

White-Feather Chicken paused and said.

A creature with a cloaca and fur?

If you don't consider Metropolis's characteristic species, wouldn't it just be poultry?

After thinking of this, Liu Zheng looked at White-Feather Chicken in a strange way.

"Humph."

White-Feather Chicken knew what he was thinking of, but he didn't have an attack.

I've already said it out loud, and keeping it secretive will only make things worse.

In this Metropolis where the weak prey on the strong, being a tool for the strong to relieve his lust is considered a relatively good background.

If it hadn't been in such a high position as Chef Bloodstained Restaurant, it might not even think about taking revenge.

Of course, not retaliating does not mean not hating.

After hearing about Liu Zheng's glorious record, the hatred in its heart swelled unstoppably.

"The weak point is the birds."

Liu Zheng fell into thinking and immediately thought of French Plane Tree.

Not because it has the same problem as White-Feather Chicken, but because it has more contact with birds.

What if it knows some magical species whose cloaca can expel venom?

"Any other information?"

Liu Zheng asked again.

"No more. I am just a pet and a toy. How much information can I have?"

White-Feather Chicken shook his head.

"However, there is a piece of information that I can give you that has nothing to do with his strength, just as extra reward."

It thought for a while and said.

"What information?"

"If you want to buy lottery tickets in his store, remember to only buy Scratch-Off Lottery, and it's best to buy the one with saliva marks on it."

White-Feather Chicken said.

"What rewards are there in Scratch-Off Lottery?"

Liu Zheng asked.

If it was just money, he would be less interested.

"I don't know, I haven't shaved before."

White-Feather Chicken shook his head.

"I know."

Cow-Horse interjected.

"Boss, let's talk about it."

Liu Zheng's eyes lit up.

"There's no saliva in my mouth, what can I say? Ahem."

Cow-Horse pretended to search a few times.

"Master chef?"

He looked at White-Feather Chicken.

"Hmph, I'll drink you to death sooner or later."

White-Feather Chicken lifted up his chef's hat, took out a bottle of wine, and threw it at Cow-Horse.

Liu Zheng only saw it smashing it, and the bottle was already in front of Cow-Horse.

Fortunately, Cow-Horse is not just for a living.

It opened its mouth directly, bit down on the wine bottle, then pulled out the cork with its tongue, and drank it down.

"Hey, you fooled me with cooking wine again."

Cow-Horse spit out the wine bottle and said dissatisfied.

"It would be nice to have some cooking wine. Tell me quickly."

White-Feather Chicken urged.

"In addition to money in Scratch-Off Lottery, you can also win Welfare Points."

Cow-Horse finally stopped talking.

"What is Welfare Points?"

"Welfare Points is a welfare policy created by the City Hall. Both non-citizens and citizens can use Welfare Points to exchange for material or non-material things."

Cow-Horse said.

"For example?"

"For example, things like citizenship, job opportunities, low-rent housing, entrance examination-free admission, etc. Most of them are things that rich people cannot use and poor people cannot afford."

Cow-Horse introduced.

"It sounds pretty good."

At least non-citizens can redeem it, and job opportunities and low-rent housing sound like very practical prizes.

"It's good, but you have to be able to afford it. The lowest-level job opportunity costs 1,000 Welfare Points points. Do you know what the highest prize I've ever won is?"

Cow-Horse asked.

"How much?"

"100 points."

"Ah haha, it's one tenth, not bad."

Liu Zheng comforted.

"Then the second highest one is 10 o'clock."

Cow-Horse said expressionlessly.

"Then the winning rate is quite objective."

He said tactfully.

"But you've always had good luck, kid. You can really give it a try."

Cow-Horse looked at the remaining clown makeup on his face and said.

He can cause trouble like this, and if he is unlucky, the ball will be dead long ago.

"What's the best prize you can redeem?"

Liu Zheng said curiously.

"A meal."

Cow-Horse said.

"What kind of food?"

"The important thing is not what kind of meal, but who you eat it with."

Cow-Horse said.

"Who?"

"Supreme Chancellor."

Cow-Horse said word by word.

"Hiss~"

Liu Zheng took a deep breath.

"How many points will it cost?"

he asked.

"One hundred million."

"Only 100 million?"

Liu Zheng said in surprise.

This is the Supreme Speaker. The people who stand at the top of the Metropolis power pyramid, Si Xue, Mr. Li, and Peacock, are probably just like ordinary people in front of the Supreme Speaker.

"It's only 100 million. The highest prize I've heard of is only 1 million. And Welfare Points is not transferable, and it is reset every ten years. That means you have to win this kind of jackpot ten times a year, almost once every month."

"Do you still think it's less now?"

Cow-Horse sneered.

"Metropolis With so many strange people and strangers, there will always be someone who has a way to keep winning, right?"

Liu Zheng was not frightened.

Fisherman has things like Black Koi that can increase luck, and other weird residents must also have them.

"Of course. But this is exactly the purpose of the City Hall."

Cow-Horse said.

"How to say?"

"Why do you think City Hall allows non-citizens to redeem Welfare Points?"

Cow-Horse asked rhetorically.

"In order to alleviate conflicts, give the bottom some false hope?"

He thought for a while and said.

"This is part of the reason. Another reason is to make the 'unstable' elements among non-citizens fall into the trap."

"Because the ability to consistently win big prizes is often disordered or illegal."

Cow-Horse said.

"That's it."

Liu Zheng nodded.

It fits the style of Metropolis very well.

It goes without saying that City Hall's skills can be used to maintain such a large and complex city in such a bad but chaotic state.

I just don't know whether the Supreme Speaker is a policy maker with superior intelligence or a policy defender with unparalleled force.

Or, it's both.

"So don't even think about the top prize, if you really win the big prize."

Cow-Horse hesitated for a moment and then said.

"Just help me redeem a box of Eugenics Drug."

"Okay."

Liu Zheng nodded.

"You guys don't even ask what this is for. How many Welfare Points do you want?"

He agreed so simply that Cow-Horse felt a little uncomfortable.

"You are my boss. I shouldn't give you a gift. Why do you ask?"

Liu Zheng said nonchalantly.

"That's what you eat before you prepare for pregnancy. It can increase the probability of passing 'Birth Screening' for the next baby."

White-Feather Chicken suddenly interrupted.

"It seems that you have touched 'dirty things'."

It looked at Cow-Horse and said with a half-smile.

"It's like you haven't touched it before."

Cow-Horse rolled his eyes.

"I don't plan to have children."

"You are amazing and noble, that's enough."

Cow-Horse said perfunctorily.

"You are too greedy, Cow-Horse."

White-Feather Chicken shook his head.

"Even if you become the boss of the department, family is too luxurious for Bloodstained Restaurant employees."

"I want you to take care of it. Is there anything else? If nothing happens, go back to your Kitchen."

Cow-Horse is starting to chase the chickens.

"Haha."

White-Feather Chicken picked up the soup pot and left the lounge.

"Boss, if you really want that Eugenics Drug, I can get another Black Koi."

After it left, Liu Zheng took the initiative to say.

"However, you have to help me bear the side effects."

"Let's forget it."

Cow-Horse rolled his eyes.

"You tortured me to death last time. If you do it again, I'll have to give birth to a posthumous child."

"That's okay."

He was just saying thank you. Since Cow-Horse himself didn't want to, then forget it.

But think about it, with the cause and effect involved in Liu Zheng, if his luck dropped to 0, he didn't dare to imagine how much death he would encounter.

Maybe the god corresponding to Gospel will directly descend on Metropolis.

Or just place an order for takeout delivered to Chaos Club.

While Liu Zheng was thinking wildly, Cow-Horse's phone rang again.

"I'm going to be your fucking operator."

It couldn't help but complain.

But after taking a look at the number, his expression immediately turned respectful.

"Boss, what are your orders?"

"Okay, okay, I'll tell him."

After hanging up the phone, Cow-Horse raised his eyebrows at Liu Zheng.

"I just said the boss would be very happy."
