Chapter 347: Chapter 322 Fisherman: Why don’t you treat this kid’s brain?_2

French Plane Tree wondered.

"You don’t need our protection."

Doctor Nile shook his head.

"To evolve into a Winged Dragon, you also have to become an egg first. But unlike the fragile Phoenix Egg, a Winged Dragon’s egg is at its strongest."

"In the state of being a Winged Dragon’s egg, beings lesser than my master’s stature can’t even touch it, let alone attack it. Of course, the Winged Dragon egg also can’t attack others."

"And after you hatch, you won’t need protection even more so."

"Because a Winged Dragon is born strong?"

French Plane Tree asked.

"Not really. Because a Winged Dragon can’t be tamed, nor does it taste good, so probably no one would come to capture you."

Doctor Nile shrugged.

"That might not be the case."

Liu Zheng muttered to himself.

Given Si Xue’s fondness for gold, she might just capture the Winged Dragon and skin it for a bathrobe.

"I’ll think about it."

French Plane Tree pondered for a while.

"Of course. Hmm..."

Doctor Nile glanced at Liu Zheng, hesitated for a moment, but still spoke.

"Actually, if you can’t decide, you can also choose to evolve into a Phoenix first."

"Why?"

"As long as you haven’t completed the Five Virtues Cultivation, you are not a complete Phoenix and can still evolve into a Winged Dragon through a ritual."

Doctor Nile explained.

Completing the Five Virtues Cultivation in Metropolis is as difficult as ascending to heaven, effectively offering French Plane Tree a fallback plan.

Of course, for "Ra," it’s still safer to evolve into a Winged Dragon right from the start.

If it weren’t for Liu Zheng’s sake, Doctor Nile wouldn’t have mentioned it so soon.

After promoting the corporate culture of "Ra" religion for a while longer, the two said goodbye to French Plane Tree and headed towards the sewer manhole.

"How come you remember so much?"

Liu Zheng asked curiously.

Isn’t it said that memories from before entering Metropolis are blocked?

"’Ra’ told me. All of ’Ra’s priests after death go to ’Ra’s Divine Country, and their life experiences are displayed before ’Ra’."

"Of course, to avoid displeasing City Hall, ’Ra’ God also can’t tell me too much."

Doctor Nile explained.

This situation counts as an unspoken rule, so it’s okay to talk about it.

But it has its pros and cons, City Hall’s monitoring of believers is much stricter than it is on ordinary residents.

"City Hall is really awesome."

Liu Zheng exclaimed.

Every time he is exposed to a new field, he has to update his understanding of City Hall’s strength.

"Aren’t you already connected with City Hall?"

Doctor Nile glanced at the pin on his chest as he said.

After a trip to the border, he came back as a family member of a City Hall employee. This guy’s networking skills are truly astonishing.

"Hey, just a kid messing around wearing it, it’s nothing, really nothing."

As Liu Zheng spoke, he puffed out his chest.

"Heh, do you think your friend will agree to become a Winged Dragon?"

To avoid his Versailles moment, Doctor Nile changed the subject.

"I don’t think so."

He shook his head.

"Oh? Why?"

"If it wasn’t for freedom, it wouldn’t want to evolve into a Phoenix in the first place."

Liu Zheng said.

Is a Winged Dragon’s egg safer than being a Plane Tree?

The mere protection of "Ra" God, how does it compare to City Hall’s iron fist.

"Maybe, but one day it will figure it out."

Doctor Nile also said confidently.

Completing the Five Virtues Cultivation in Metropolis, just like Niu Ma not being greedy, and Liu Zheng not being petty, is nearly impossible.

And a Phoenix that can’t complete the Five Virtues Cultivation has no real freedom to speak of.

"Then that’s its own business."

Liu Zheng shrugged.

He could make plans for a friend but wouldn’t make choices for them.

Moreover, French Plane Tree was much stronger than him, so he wasn’t going to overestimate himself.

After leaving the sewer tunnel, the Fisherman was already waiting at the exit.

"Lao Deng, did you get bitten by a fish while fishing?"

As soon as Liu Zheng saw him, he noticed his missing palm.

"Are you playing dumb? Believe it or not, I’ll snap your fingers off too."

The Fisherman glared and said.

"Last time you also snapped a finger, how did it grow back?"

"That was international travel, how could it be the same? Giving you that one finger cost me more than ordering takeout twice."

The Fisherman said through gritted teeth.

It was that Fire Mage’s fault for setting him up with perfect quality gear right from the start.

According to his original plan, giving away a few fish with special effects would have been enough.

"No worries, it’s fine, having one less finger makes you look more distinctive. I’ll talk to Sasha later and have her make you some rib soup to replenish you."

Liu Zheng patted the Fisherman on the shoulder.

"If I don’t get to drink Sasha’s soup within this week, I’ll be boiling your ribs for soup."

The Fisherman said expressionlessly.

"Sure, sure."

Once this week was over, he would definitely flee, leaving the Fisherman nothing but some dead skin off his hooves.

"Hello, I’m Dr. Nile."

Dr. Nile took the opportunity to introduce himself.

"Just call me Fisherman."

The Fisherman extended his hand and shook hands with him.

"You know this kid so well, how come you haven’t fixed his brain yet?"

The Fisherman mocked.

"Unfortunately, in his case, even if I performed brain surgery, it would quickly revert to its original state. Being brainless is completeness for him; that’s more a philosophical issue and beyond medical help."

Dr. Nile said earnestly.

"If you two keep making fun of me, I might just ask Sasha and Sasha’s mom out."

Liu Zheng said with a displeased face.

"Impossible!"

"In your dreams!"

The two old men roared together.

"Haha, one of you relies on me to fix his daughter’s brain, and the other relies on me to chase Huang Mao away, what do you have to compete against me with?"

He said proudly.

"... Hurry up and finish the job and get lost, I get annoyed just looking at you."

The Fisherman said angrily.

He cast his arm-turned-fishing-rod and fished the seaplane out of the sewer.

"What, still this thing? I thought you’d switch up the equipment."

Liu Zheng commented.

"It’s just the same look, not the same game. So, want to try it?"

The Fisherman asked with a wicked intent.

"Forget it, gaming is the root of all evil, we upstanding young people must firmly resist it."

He said with an air of moral superiority.

"Ptui. Be my guest, Doctor."

The Fisherman spat on the ground and then gestured invitingly to Dr. Nile.

"If the operation is successful, I’ll make sure the sewer feeds you a ton of shit."

Dr. Nile, sitting in the plane, threatened Liu Zheng.

"Fine, I’ll just go and French kiss Sasha right after eating."

He said nonchalantly.

"You bastard!"

Even the Priest, ever so gentlemanly and tolerant, erupted at Liu Zheng’s comment.

"Shut your mouth."

The Fisherman, from nowhere, pulled out a dead fish and stuffed it into Liu Zheng’s mouth.

He instinctively bit down, nearly breaking all his teeth.

He raised a tentacle to pull it out but discovered the dead fish was secreting a glue-like mucus that sealed his mouth shut.

The worst part was that the mucus was putrid and fishy, smelling like surströmming steeped in snake grass water, then left to roast under the sun for three days.

"Gag!"

Liu Zheng was overwhelmed by the stench, unable to vomit, while the acid simply sprayed out of his nose.

"Serves you right!"

Dr. Nile, relieved of his annoyance, entered the game with a sense of pleasure.

"Why must you act so petty?"

Once the game started, the Fisherman also removed the stinky fish from Liu Zheng’s mouth.

"What’s the difference between a life without pettiness and a salted fish? Besides, being a bit naughty makes both me and others happy, what’s wrong with that?"

Liu Zheng took a bottle of water from the delivery box, rinsed his mouth, and spoke.

"I sure didn’t notice any happiness on my part."

The Fisherman retorted with a curl of his lip.

"Isn’t Dr. Nile quite happy?"

He smiled.

"Playing games should be done with a smile. If you enter a game all tense, wouldn’t that lower the odds of winning?"

"You do think too much. So, are you really planning to hit on his daughter?"

The Fisherman’s gaze flickered.

"I’m just not willing to waste a rare item, that’s all."

Liu Zheng said flatly.
