It's a hell game, who can still be a human being?

Chapter 4: First Takeaway Order

After explaining the rules, the cows and horses ignored Liu Zheng and lay on the ground, soundly sleeping.

He looked around and didn't find anything to kill time, so he started playing with his phone.

It was an old-fashioned cell phone that couldn’t access the internet and had no software. The only game it came with was Snake.

“Why Snake?”

Liu Zheng looked at the long snake made up of black and white pixels and fell into deep thought.

The fighting power of a delivery man is enough to kill him instantly. Coupled with so many weird rules, it is obvious that this copy is more inclined to solving puzzles.

Although he was not keen on reasoning, he knew that everything in a puzzle game was often useful.

How do you know what a game is useful for? Of course, you play it first.

Press the confirm button and the game begins.

A black pixel snake chases the randomly appearing circular pixels on the screen, and it will be cut into pieces if it eats one.

On the left side of the bottom of the screen is the score, and on the right side is a timer bar.

Every once in a while, a large flashing pixel will appear on the screen and the timer bar will start to get shorter.

One pixel is worth 5 points, and one large pixel is worth up to 25 points. The score decreases as the timer bar decreases.

When the score reaches the upper limit, a square pixel will appear on the screen.

Make the snake's head enter the square pixel point to enter the next level.

The rules are simple and the strategy to deal with it is also very simple, which is to eat up the large pixels as quickly as possible, so that the length of the snake can be shortened as much as possible.

Of course, there are risks.

When the snake gets longer, it tends to focus on eating large pixels and end up hitting its own tail.

Even so, it was still a simple little game after all, and Liu Zheng quickly reached the 10th level.

The difficulty increases sharply starting from the 10th level. Not only does the speed of the snake increase, but there are also many more obstacles on the screen.

Just as he was concentrating on eating the big pixel, he suddenly felt a warm current in his ear.

He pressed pause and looked back, and it was indeed the big head of a cow or horse.

"You still played after all."

The cows and horses showed an expression of expectation.

“Is this game unplayable?”

"It doesn't matter. You humans can't refuse games anyway."

Niuma shook his head.

"Now that you've started, don't stop, and don't lose."

it said.

"Must you clear the customs?"

“You can quit after reaching level 20, but if you open the game again, you must complete it.”

"By the way, the highest record I've seen is 24 levels."

Liu Zheng looked at the top of the screen, where the level number displayed was 10/25.

“How many people continued to fight?”

he asked.

Niuma didn't answer, but just looked at the densely packed cabinets against the wall.

They have all had more than one owner.

"Ok."

Liu Zheng shrugged and continued playing the game.

The cows and horses were not sleeping either, they were standing beside him and watching him.

One level, two levels, three levels.
Liu Zheng changed his strategy and proceeded step by step, slowly reaching the twentieth level.

At the 20th level, the difficulty soared again.

Not only is the speed of the snake more than twice that of the first level, the positions of the obstacles have also become very tricky.

The refresh of large pixels is also more unpredictable, making it extremely difficult to gain a large number of points.

The scariest thing is that pixels covered with spikes will refresh on the screen.

Although Liu Zheng didn't know what it was, it should be something similar to a landmine.

After a tough battle, he was already sweating profusely.

"Great! No wonder you give such a good massage."

Niutou praised.

If it were to play Snake, it probably wouldn't even be able to get past the first level.

Fortunately, the game is a curse on humans, and they, like cattle and horses, won’t fall for it.

"What is the reward for clearing a level?"

Liu Zheng wiped his sweat and asked.

"I don't know. Some say it's a huge bonus, some say it's a chance to get a promotion, and some say it's a train ticket."

"ticket?"

"Yes, a ticket to leave the bloody restaurant and leave this city." Niu Ma's tone seemed very yearning.

And Liu Zheng quietly quit the game.

Although he was indeed very curious, it was not to the extent that it would kill himself.

After all, he is not a cat.

Suddenly, the cows and horses stood up.

"Come and live."

it said.

Liu Zheng looked at the door and the wooden board below was slowly pushed open.

A bony hand reached in, put down a note, and then quickly retracted.

The cows and horses walked over slowly and took a look.

"You're in luck, human."

It raised its chin and signaled Liu Zheng to pick up the note.

He walked over, picked up the note and read its contents.

“Dish: One salmon head pizza”

"Address: Building 3, Room 503, Meilin Community."

"Time limit: within one hour."

“Why do you say I’m lucky?”

Liu Zheng asked.

"You'll find out later. Now, go deliver your first order."

Niuma urged.

Under its supervision, Liu Zheng put on his work clothes and took his mobile phone and map.

The moment he stepped out of the lounge, the wooden door closed automatically and silently.

A slight chill ran through Liu Zheng's neck, and the sense of unknown danger made him feel uneasy.

"There are wolves in front and tigers behind."

Liu Zheng thought helplessly.

He looked at the dining cart, on which was a sealed packaging bag.

When I opened it, I saw a square paper box inside with a blood-red iris painted on the lid.

Liu Zheng hesitated for a few seconds and finally opened the box.

Then he saw a scene that made his scalp tingle.

A dozen fish heads with different numbers of eyes were squeezed on a 9-inch pancake, and the dark, juicy eyeballs stared at him as if they were alive.

That look was so deep that Liu Zheng's soul was almost immersed in it.

Snapped!
He slapped himself hard.

The physical pain woke him up, and when he looked at the pizza again, the fish heads had turned into pale dead fish eyes.

The strange feeling disappeared, replaced by an uncontrollable nausea.

“Name: Deformed Eyed Salmon Head Pizza”

"Type: Props"

“Quality: Excellent”

"Effect: Temporarily improves the player's perception, with a small chance of obtaining the 'clairvoyance' state, and permanently reduces spirit."

“Note: When you look up at the starry sky, what you see may not necessarily be heaven, but may also be hell.”

“Can I take out a copy: Yes”

This is actually a prop, and can be taken out of the dungeon?

Liu Zheng looked at the system prompts and had a bold idea.

However, now is not the time to implement it.

He closed the lid tightly, blocking out the vague sight.

"Merlin Community."

He looked at the map, which showed that the destination was about 6 kilometers away from the Bloody Restaurant.

If it were in the past, this distance would be nothing, and Liu Zheng could even run a half marathon easily.

But now, this distance is a bit difficult.

Even if he could hold on, his lungs wouldn't be able to.

"Ho ho."

Liu Zheng couldn't help but hold his throat, which felt as heavy as if there was a lead block stuffed inside.

He had just been suppressing his discomfort so as not to show his weakness in front of the cattle and horses.

The battle of the flesh has been lost, but the battle of wills has just begun.
