The world has turned into Hell's Game, why should I stay human?
Chapter 345 - 321 Liu Zheng: Father-in-law Lao Deng, this time I need 1 ton of fish.

Chapter 345: Chapter 321 Liu Zheng: Father-in-law Lao Deng, this time I need 1 ton of fish.

He really thinks he’s got the whole sewer contracted, huh?

Even if they were his own fish, sometimes he still has to refuse capture.

"Fine, fine, thirty it is. Get ready, we’re going down from the manhole cover on Rose Street."

Liu Zheng said.

"Got it."

The Fisherman abruptly hung up the phone.

"At his age, he still has such a temper; isn’t he afraid of having a stroke due to high blood pressure? Old Nile, you should check out the Fisherman later, he might have hyperthyroidism or a cerebral hemorrhage or something."

He curled his lip as he spoke.

"I actually think you should get checked first to see if you have the disease of dying if you don’t act crappy."

Dr. Nile chuckled.

"Bias, all of this is bias. Okay, let’s go."

Upon leaving the clinic, the Sphinx looked up at them.

"If I don’t come back, I’m entrusting you to look after the clinic."

Dr. Nile walked up to it and performed a ’Ra’-inspired gesture.

"Hmm."

The Sphinx responded indifferently and then closed its eyes.

"Xiao Mei is also in your care."

Liu Zheng chimed in.

"Scram."

The Sphinx said without even lifting an eyelid.

"Tsk. You really should implement some training on employee etiquette; patients might get scared off by this attitude."

He told Dr. Nile.

"First of all, it is not my employee. Secondly, it only acts this way towards you and Niu Ma."

"My big brother? What did he do?"

Liu Zheng asked curiously.

"He flipped someone’s tail."

Dr. Nile replied.

"That’s so like my big brother, being crappy is a still a long way off for me."

Remembering Niu Ma’s glorious history of selling fake wine to the French Plane Tree, he said admiringly.

"I actually think you’ve already exceeded the teacher by being more skillful."

Dr. Nile tugged at the corner of his mouth.

Amidst their idle chat, the two arrived at Rose Street.

Today was a beautiful sunny day; the French Plane Tree was drooping its branches and leaves, looking as if it was about to suffer from heatstroke.

"Other trees compete for sunlight by growing. You have such wonderful sunshine all to yourself, yet you act half-dead."

Liu Zheng couldn’t help but say.

"I’m not a tropical plant. Besides, as a noble of France, isn’t it reasonable for me to be afraid of the sun?"

The French Plane Tree barely opened its eyes, and after seeing him, retorted confidently.

"Reasonable, reasonable. Here, drink some wine to cool off."

Liu Zheng set down two bottles of fine wine on the ground.

"Wine!"

The French Plane Tree perked up instantly, extending its roots to wrap around the wine bottles, but then immediately retracted them.

"It’s not chilled."

It said disdainfully.

"Come on, it’s not beer; who drinks chilled wine? Also, do you even have a temperature sensor in your mouth?"

Liu Zheng complained.

"You handle you, I handle me; I just want it chilled!"

The French Plane Tree was slapping its roots on the ground like a petulant child throwing a tantrum.

"Fine, fine, I’ll chill it and bring it to you later,"

he said helplessly.

This guy used to drink wine that even smelled like urine, and now he demands his high-class wine to be chilled, really spoiled by indulgence.

"Hmph! If there’s nothing else, rush off, don’t disturb my sleep."

The French Plane Tree closed its eyes again.

Liu Zheng sighed, picked up the two bottles of wine, and returned to Dr. Nile’s side.

"Your tree friend is not simple."

Dr. Nile said.

"Oh?"

"It seems to be on the verge of evolving, isn’t it?"

Dr. Nile said.

"That’s right."

Since he had noticed, Liu Zheng didn’t hide it anymore.

"It... ah?"

Dr. Nile suddenly made a puzzled noise and then pulled a golden pendant out from his armor.

The pendant was a regular triangle, and in the middle of the triangle was an abstract eye.

"Is it you who calls upon me? Ra."

He knelt on one knee, then held the pendant facing the sun.

"Yes, I remember your oracles."

After a moment, Dr. Nile stood up and put away the pendant.

"Couldn’t the god ’Ra’ have waited for your prayer before deciding to punish you?"

Liu Zheng teased.

"Then I’d definitely feed you to the scarabs first,"

Dr. Nile glared at him and said.

"So what happened? If it’s not convenient to talk about it, never mind."

Liu Zheng asked.

"There’s nothing inconvenient about it, and besides, this matter actually does involve you."

Dr. Nile shook his head.

"Oh?"

"Your tree friend is hesitating over which direction to evolve, isn’t it?"

Doctor Nile said.

"You can tell just by looking?"

"Of course, I used to be a veterinarian."

Doctor Nile said proudly.

"A veterinarian...okay. So what?"

"Has it considered another direction for evolution?"

Doctor Nile said.

"What direction?"

"Becoming Ra’s Winged Dragon."

Doctor Nile said solemnly.

"Ra’s Winged Dragon, why does that sound so familiar?"

Liu Zheng scratched his head and said.

"Is it powerful?"

After thinking for a moment and not recalling, he gave up.

"Of course!"

Doctor Nile immediately replied.

"Ra’s Winged Dragon is the chief of the Three Illusionary Gods, the most powerful warrior under the throne of ’Ra’. Its status is so high that it can sit equally with other deities."

"Can it kill a Niu Ma with one punch?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Definitely."

Doctor Nile said confidently.

"That’s indeed strong. Okay, I’ll go ask for you."

He then walked up to the French Plane Tree again.

"What now?"

The French Plane Tree asked impatiently.

"My friend wants me to ask you, have you considered evolving into Ra’s Winged Dragon?"

Liu Zheng said.

"What’s that?"

The French Plane Tree asked.

"I don’t know either, but he said it can kill a Niu Ma with one punch."

He shrugged.

"I can turn into a Phoenix and kill that fake booze seller with one punch too,"

The French Plane Tree said disdainfully.

"But then you’d still have to turn into an egg, and what’s more, undertake the Five Virtues Cultivation. What if their method is quick and straightforward, achieving a complete form upon evolving?"

Liu Zheng said.

"Hmm...then have him come over."

The French Plane Tree considered and said.

"Just to be clear, even if the negotiation fails, you can’t eat him, otherwise I’ll really fall out with you."

He warned.

"Fall out then fall out, and dare you threaten me, believe it or not, I might eat you too."

The French Plane Tree threatened in return.

"Heh, recognize this Dragon Robe I’m wearing?"

Liu Zheng flaunted his Funeral Clothes.

"Don’t recognize it. But it seems like a nice item, want to trade?"

The French Plane Tree’s eyes lit up.

"I dare trade, do you dare collect? This was lent to me by the Fire Mage."

"Humph, just a Fire Mage. Once I evolve into a Phoenix, the first thing I’ll do is extinguish his fire."

The leaves of the French Plane Tree trembled, then it stubbornly responded.

"Stop boasting. When you turn into an egg, you’ll still need other people’s help to hatch."

He exposed the French Plane Tree’s defiance and then called Doctor Nile over.

"His name is Dai Legao, and his name is Doctor Nile. Okay, you two chat on your own."

Liu Zheng finished introducing them and stepped aside.

"Honored Dai Legao, hello."

Doctor Nile gave a bow.

"Hello. Hmm, you’re certainly more polite than this idiot human."

The French Plane Tree commented appreciatively.

"I think, finding someone less polite than him would be quite a challenge."

Doctor Nile laughed.

"That’s true, even the birds that can’t speak human language behave better than he does."

The French Plane Tree agreed.

"Hahaha!"

A tree and a mummy laughed together.

"Hey! You two, enough already."

Liu Zheng looked annoyed.

It was good that their interaction was pleasant, but not so good when it was based on dissing him.

"If I may ask boldly, Dai Legao, what are your options for evolution right now?"

Doctor Nile stopped laughing and asked.

"Dryad and Phoenix."

The French Plane Tree said.

"It’s Phoenix, no wonder, no wonder."

Doctor Nile murmured to himself.

"No wonder what?"

"It’s precisely because you can evolve into a Phoenix that there might be a possibility to evolve into Ra’s Winged Dragon."

Doctor Nile replied.

"Huh? What does a Phoenix have to do with dragons?"

Liu Zheng couldn’t help but ask.
