Chapter 240: Chapter 238 and the French Plane Tree Happily United

The next morning, he left the house early and called a car.

"I need to head out for a purchasing trip beyond the border today,"

Liu Zheng told the driver.

"So sudden?"

The driver was taken aback.

"Can’t help it, fortune and disaster are unpredictable. I was supposed to deliver takeout to the Peacock."

"You just blew up one of her office floors; isn’t this like walking into your own funeral?"

the driver said.

"Yeah, that’s why I figured out a way to get a purchasing trip beyond the border—to lay low for a few days,"

Liu Zheng shrugged his shoulders.

"Hmm, that’s not a bad idea,"

the driver mused for a few seconds and pulled out a handgun from his uniform.

"Can’t help you carry other things, but you can take this gun for now."

He handed the gun to Liu Zheng.

"Name: Counterfeit Walther PPK (Disposable)"

"Type: Prop"

"Quality: Fine"

"Effect: Fires a single high-power bullet; guarantees a hit when the target has a leader status. If the target has both leader status and Germanic lineage, it grants both guaranteed hit and instant kill effects."

"Note: I come from Hebei Province, anyone who stands in our way is trash!"

"Can be taken out of the instance: Yes"

"Thank you,"

Liu Zheng said, thanking him while taking the handgun with an ambiguous expression.

He couldn’t help but feel that the driver’s action was a bit disrespectful.

Riding in a Ferrari, he arrived at Rose Street, where the French Plane Tree was basking in the morning sun with its eyes closed, not clear whether it was enjoying itself or sleeping.

Regardless of what it was doing, it was awakened by the roar of the sports car.

"Do you know what happened to the last person who woke me up like this?"

When Liu Zheng approached the French Plane Tree, it spoke with a grim face.

"Uh, did you tie the knot with them?"

he guessed.

"If you’re looking for death, there’s no need to beat around the bush, I can just bury you right here,"

the French Plane Tree said coldly.

"My mistake,"

Liu Zheng slid to his knees at lightning speed.

"Hmph, foolish human,"

the French Plane Tree lifted its face proudly.

"Getting to the point, I’ll be leaving for an out-of-country purchasing trip tomorrow,"

"What? What about my evolution process? You’re not going anywhere until you sort out my issue,"

the French Plane Tree said immediately.

"Stop making a fuss, I really had no choice,"

he explained the situation about the Peacock to it and also talked about the plan to have the novelist protect it.

"Is your darling even reliable?"

the French Plane Tree looked doubtful.

"Should be reliable enough. If you’re worried, why don’t you evolve into a tree spirit?"

Liu Zheng spread his tentacles helplessly.

He really had no other options; the others either lacked strength or were not suitable for the situation.

"Knew humans were unreliable,"

the French Plane Tree scoffed.

"If not, you’ll just have to wait till I get back,"

Liu Zheng said helplessly.

"Will you even come back?"

the French Plane Tree sneered.

"Don’t worry, I should come back,"

he reassured.

Worst case, he’d just clear the instance as soon as he got an order from the Peacock upon his return.

By staying outside for another seven days, Liu Zheng would have survived over fourteen days—more than four times the mission requirement.

If he couldn’t achieve a Grade A evaluation now, then it could only mean that the system never intended to let him fulfill the bet agreement.

"Hmph, you’d better keep your word," he sneered.

The French Plane Tree looked at the human in front of him and still didn’t quite trust him.

It considered signing the Ring Contract with Liu Zheng once more but hesitated.

The constraints of the contract were mutual; Liu Zheng had made such a significant promise, and it had to provide a substantial reward in return.

Although the French Plane Tree didn’t plan to freeload, it also didn’t want to turn the reward into something obligatory.

"Isn’t it clear whether I keep my word or not?"

Liu Zheng pointed at the position of its rings.

A person who could bear the character "trust" obviously didn’t need his credit discussed.

If there’s nothing else, you might as well leave quickly and stop delaying my sleep," Liu Zheng said dismissively.

The French Plane Tree did not intend to give him a chance to show off.

Here, drink this before you sleep; it’ll help you sleep," he said.

He pulled out the Rust Bee Venom Wine and placed it on the ground.

"Oh là là!"

The French Plane Tree exclaimed with delight.

Unable to wait, it extended its roots to hook the bottle and poured it into its mouth.

This was not like those ordinary goods; even in terms of taste, it could rival Vlad III.

Agréable~"

The French Plane Tree exclaimed loudly, its wooden eyeballs moving chaotically.

"Are you alright?" Liu Zheng asked with some concern.

The liquor this time did seem a bit too potent.

"How could anything be wrong with me, a genius transforming into a Phoenix?" the French Plane Tree retorted.

A root burst through the soil and slapped a post-it note on his face.

"Name: Lazybones Post-it Note (Disposable)"

"Type: Item"

"Quality: Excellent"

"Effect: Write down content on the post-it note, and show it to a target with vision. The target will be forced to remember the content on the post-it note and will likely act accordingly; the likelihood is inversely related to the target’s Spiritual Attribute."

"Remark: A post-it note is a good thing, provided you remember to look at it."

"Can be taken out of the instance: Yes"

Single-target strong control, nice.

Liu Zheng was very satisfied with this item.

True to the French Plane Tree’s reputation, anything it produced was of high quality.

After cutting off Dai Legao’s supply, he didn’t linger and went directly down into the sewer.

The Fisherman and Sha Jiang were already waiting for him at the exit.

"Brother, it’s all my fault for not being able to go out, or I would have joined you in delivering this takeout," Sha Jiang said, looking embarrassed.

"How can I blame you, Sha Jiang, when I’m the one who caused the trouble? But now that I’ve left, your wanted situation will have to be postponed a bit," Liu Zheng replied, even more sheepishly.

"Ah, let it be postponed; it’s no big deal. There’s food and drink in the sewer, and I can fish. I wouldn’t even want to leave if you asked me to," Sha Jiang said nonchalantly.

"Don’t worry, I’ve arranged everything. Even if I can’t come back, there will be others to push things forward," Liu reassured.

"Ah, look at all this trouble. You’re already in such a tough spot and still worrying about me," Sha Jiang said, scratching his head uncomfortably, then firmly tore off his cape and handed it to Liu Zheng.

"Brother, as a vagabond, I don’t have much to offer. You can’t use my axe, but you can take this Dragon Robe if you don’t mind the bad luck it might bring."

He took the Dragon Robe; its synthetic yellow fabric featured two Five-Clawed Dragon Strikes, and between the two dragon heads was a large character "Longevity."

"Name: Dragon Robe Funeral Clothes"

"Type: Equipment"

"Quality: Perfect"

"Effect One: When eating, there’s a chance to recover sanity."

"Effect Two: Player receives defensive enhancement; the lower the player’s social status, the stronger the enhancement."

"Effect Three: Player is immune to most instant death effects and reduces fatal damage to a survivable level (limited to once per instance)."

"Remark: So, as people say, don’t forget your roots, brothers. Now that we are wearing the dragon robe, don’t we still have to chop our wood?"

"Can be taken out of the instance: No"
