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

Chapter 426: The French plane tree: No matter how big it is, it is not as big as me
"Didn't you suck them all dry?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Idiot human, I just drained their spirituality, but I didn't drain their vitality."

"This body already contains spirituality, but I just don't want it."

Said the French plane tree.

"Oh, I see. You want to let other trees absorb your excess spirituality and natural power so that you won't have any overflow."

He suddenly said.

"Humph, you're not that stupid yet."

The French plane tree said proudly.

"Then just pick a tree at random. Look, isn't that tree the same species as yours? It's just the right tree for you to find a wife or husband."

Liu Zheng pointed to another plane tree and said.

"If it were that simple, why would I hesitate? Haven't you heard that there is no room for two tigers in one mountain?"

The plane tree rolled its eyes at him.

"Why are you afraid? How can a newly born tree beat you?"

From having no wisdom to having wisdom, it is not wrong to say that it is a rebirth.

"Of course I can't defeat it. But it's also public property. Even if I am also public property, I can't just destroy other public property. I can only slowly rob it of its nutrients and kill it."

"But with this consumption, there are many variables."

The plane tree explained.

"What variable?"

“Do you think it’s easy for me to plant a flag on this street?”

The plane tree sneered.

If it weren't for its ability to fight and the fact that it was public property, it would have been destroyed long ago.

Once there is a second intelligent tree, those who covet this street will definitely support it and compete with it for resources.

"Then why not find a tree that is not public property?"

"Idiot human, not every tree can digest the royal family of the wood elves."

The plane tree shook its face.

It can pick any tree on this street because these trees are planted by the city hall and are born with the foundation to become intelligent creatures. It just depends on whether it has the luck.

If you look for it outside, you might not be able to pick out one tree with this talent among ten thousand trees.

"I have one here, see if it works."

Liu Zheng remembered the ginseng doll that Yuan Baoer gave him.

"Name: Unconscious Ginseng Doll"

"Type: Props"

“Quality: Excellent”

"Effect 1: Replenishes a large amount of physical strength."

"Effect 2: Gain the 'energetic' state. This and effect 3 cannot be triggered at the same time."

"Effect 2: If the player is currently in a near-death state, using this will prevent the injury from naturally worsening. This effect lasts for one hour and cannot be triggered at the same time as effect 2."

"Note: I've told you so many times that welfare homes are not allowed to adopt ginseng dolls. Get out!"

“Can I take the copy out: No”

"But if there is no golden container, it seems that it will escape. Do you have one here?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Just let it out. No plant can escape from me."

The plane tree said confidently.

"Okay, then if it runs away, don't blame me for not warning you, and you have to compensate me with one with a similar effect."

He said the ugly words up front.

"You're so long-winded. Take it out quickly."

The plane tree urged.

Liu Zheng shrugged and took out the ginseng doll from the system space.

"ah!"

As soon as it opened its eyes, the ginseng doll screamed.

Then it tore off its red bellyband.

The mini big breasts were exposed to the air and trembled twice.

The next second, the ginseng doll disappeared completely, and only a large piece of leaf was left in Liu Zheng's hand.

“He really ran away.”

"It can't get away."

As the plane tree spoke, the black earth began to churn.

Countless tree roots extended in all directions like a dragnet. Wherever they passed, underground creatures either fled madly or closed their eyes and waited for death.

In the past, it wouldn't mind having a meal.

But now, all it has eyes for is some running little creature.

Soon, a tree root broke through the ground, and the roots at the top tied up a shivering little person like a rope. It was the escaped ginseng doll.

"Be good, little one."

The plane tree stared at it, a terrifying green light flashing in its wooden eyes.

"Otherwise I will just swallow you up without even chewing the bones."

As it said this, it was about to put the ginseng doll into its mouth.

"ah!"

The ginseng doll screamed and fainted.

"You are so timid."

Although the French plane tree sneered, there was a satisfied expression on his face.

Being timid is good, because if you are too timid, it will not be happy.

"How about it? Is this okay?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"It's just so-so. He has enough spirituality but a weak foundation. Even if he absorbs the corpse of the wood elf royal family, he won't become anything great."

The French plane tree commented.

"Isn't that just right? If you become a great man, you'll have to worry about it biting you back."

"Humph, no matter how big it is, it's not as big as me."

It said proudly.

"Okay, okay, you're the biggest, okay. Now, after it finishes absorbing it for you, what are you going to do?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"If it still evolves into a tree spirit, then of course I'll just eat it to nourish myself. If not, then I'll keep it for now. It runs pretty fast, so maybe it'll be useful."

The French plane tree thought for a moment and said.

"That's good."

The ginseng doll remained in his hands and would most likely be eaten in the end.

Now that I have an extra way to make a living, it can be considered as a good deed.

Alas, there is nothing he can do. Liu Zheng is just such a sunny and soft-hearted big boy.

"Is everything alright now? Hurry and give me the things."

Liu Zheng stretched out his hand and said.

"You are just a human being. Why do you rush me? If you do it again, I will crawl right out of your mouth."

The plane tree stretched out its drill roots threateningly.

"You can get me a legendary hat or seventeen or eighteen pairs of legendary underwear, and I can go wherever I want."

He asked for a huge sum.

"You wish. Get out of this street and come back in ten minutes."

Said the French plane tree.

"Oh."

Liu Zheng didn't bother to ask why. He returned to the truck and asked the driver to drive out of Rose Street.

After looking at the phone and waiting for the time to come, I asked the driver to drive back.

"Take it away."

The plane tree pushed a black coffin out of the black soil.

"Hmm? The color doesn't seem right."

He said, looking at the coffin lid.

Last time it seemed to be grayish brown.

"Why do you care about the color? It's a coffin. If you don't trust me, don't take it. I will return the body and the ginseng doll to you."

The plane tree said dissatisfiedly.

"Look at you, you're anxious again. I only said the color was wrong, not the item. Okay, okay, I'm leaving."

Liu Zheng pushed open the lid of the coffin and reached his tentacles inside to drag it onto the truck.

As a result, after applying a little force, the coffin did not move at all.

"Ok?"

He was stunned for a moment, then looked inside the coffin, and a yellowish-whitish color came into view.

"Is this a wooden board?"

"What are you still dawdling about? Hurry up and go."

The plane tree urged.

"You sound a little weak."

Liu Zheng raised his eyebrows.

"Really? You must be hallucinating. Human perception is just bad. If you have money, you should replace your ears right away."

Said the plane tree with twinkling eyes.

"Is this coffin made of your trunk?"

Seeing that it was still being stubborn, he simply exposed it.

"I want you to manage."

The plane tree doesn't want to answer this question.

"Can you bear it? Don't let anyone take advantage of you while you're absorbing the corpses?" Liu Zheng asked with concern.

"Well, even if I'm just a tree stump, I'm still the boss on Rose Street."

The plane tree said stubbornly.

"Okay, stop being stubborn. I'll get someone to protect you for a while."

He waved his tentacles.

"What use can these people, who you can recruit, be of?"

The plane tree said with disdain.

However, it did not refuse.

Liu Zheng also knew this, so he ignored it and directly called Doctor Nile.

"Are you free, doctor?"

he asked.

"How can I be busy? I knew you were going to order me around today, so I put out the signs saying that the business is temporarily closed."

Dr. Nile said unhappily.

"Ahahaha, thank you for your hard work. Well, I'll have to trouble you to come to Rose Street."

Liu Zheng said.

"What are you doing this time?"

"My friend French Plantain needs to be healed. Please protect her."

he replied.

"Who is your friend?"

The French plane tree muttered softly.

"Got it, come right away."

Dr. Nile hung up the phone.

"Shut up, don't mess with me when I'm talking about business."

Liu Zheng glanced at the plane tree.

"Human, don't think you can insult me ​​when I'm weak. Do you believe I will hang you on a tree right now?"

The plane tree said angrily.

"Go ahead and hang it. After that I'll burn this coffin and then tell the gravekeeper that I can't do it and let him do whatever he wants."

He retorted.

"?"

French Plantain was stunned for a moment, and became even more confused after he figured out what he was saying.

"What good will it do you?"

"No, but it will be bad for you. By then, the coffin you built despite your injuries will be gone, and the only friend who would protect you and help you evolve into a phoenix will also be gone. You will lose both your money and your life. Will you feel bad? I just want to ask you, will you feel bad?"

Liu Zheng said confidently.

"Zut! Are you sick?"

The plane tree is indeed numb.

"You just found out. If you didn't want me to go crazy, just shut up. You didn't tell me in advance and did some drama of cutting flesh to save your mother. Do you think you are a good person?"

he shouted.

"I've never seen a human like you who takes advantage of others and still acts like a spoiled brat."

The plane tree was speechless.

"We humans are just like this. You can accept it even if you don't agree."

"You! Humph!"

The plane tree simply turned its face to the other side and ignored him.

Liu Zheng smiled silently, then called Guokou Tangzi again.

"What? Are you leaving the country again?"

Guokou Tangzi asked as soon as he opened his mouth.

"You're crazy! I'm not a smuggler. Why would I leave the country every day?"

"Then why did you call me? You're not calling me to catch up, are you?"

The soup in the pot said again.

"You seem to be in a good mood."

He heard the other party's teasing.

"It's OK. I talked to the person who bought Jiweiju, and he is willing to sell it to us at a favorable price."

Guokou Tangzi smiled and said.

Jiweiju is naturally the restaurant originally opened by the Jiwei Group.

"That's great, do you need any help?"

Liu Zheng asked proactively.

"Indeed. When will we do the sweep of the Jordan family's place that you mentioned last time?"

Guokou Tangzi asked.

"Not sure. I've had too much on my plate and haven't gotten around to it yet."

He shook his head.

"Then do it as soon as possible. I'm afraid if it takes too long, the landlord will change his mind."

"it is good."

Liu Zheng nodded.

"Why did you call me?"

Guokou Tangzi asked.

"It's like this, I have a friend who needs to recover, so I want you to be his bodyguard for a while."

He said.

"Our Jiwei Group does undertake bodyguard business."

"My friend is the boss of Rose Street, and his roots go all the way underground, so he can get a lot of precious food."

Liu Zheng interrupted her.

"But helping a friend is not a business but an obligation. We will be here right away."

The soup in the pot immediately changed its taste.

"interesting."

After hanging up the phone, he smiled.

As expected of a gangster, he is more smooth and eloquent than those who work there.

Soon, Doctor Nile and Niu Daji came over.

"Boss, I'm here."

Niu Daji, who was wearing his family armor, said happily.

"It's ok if you come. If a fight really breaks out, just treat it as a test of the world. This is my new little brother Niu Daji, you should recognize his face, or he will eat you when he passes by."

Liu Zheng brought Niu Daji to the French plane tree and said.

"This is the distinguished French nobleman, great collector, and the leader of Rose Street, His Excellency De Lego."

He also introduced Niu Daji.

"Hello, Boss Dai Lego."

Niu Daji bowed quickly.

People who come from the bathing street have a good foundation in bowing and serving others.

"Humph, you think I'm one of you humans who can eat anything."

French Plantain turned his head back, glanced at Niu Daji and said.

"How can you have the nerve to say such things with all that mess of bones hanging around?"

Liu Zhengxu said with his eyes fixed.

"I want you to take care of it!"

The plane tree turned its face away again.

"A tree is so arrogant, I don't know who it learned it from."

He shook his head.

After a while, the pot of soup arrived with the 4-member group of onions, ginger, garlic and peppers.

All five of them were wearing black yukatas, with samurai swords slung around their waists and wooden clogs on their feet, dressed like ronin from the Edo period.

But unlike the ronin, they were wearing half-body Nanbando (Japanese plate armor) and holding double-barreled muskets in their hands.

"major."

Liu Zheng gave them a thumbs up.

It seems that in reality there was a samurai in the Meiji Restoration era who was wearing armor and holding a musket, and he killed dozens of assassins by himself.

“Although the Jiwei Group’s brand has been removed, its heritage will never be lost.”

Guokou Tangzi said proudly.

“I trust your professionalism.”

He nodded.

After introducing the parties to each other and giving a few precautions, Liu Zheng asked Niu Daji to help carry the coffin onto the truck, and then drove away.

"Doctor Nile, I have heard of your great name for a long time."

After the truck disappeared at the end of the street, Guokou Tangzi took the initiative to talk to Doctor Nile.

As a Yakuza, it is only natural to have a good relationship with doctors.

"I heard from Liu Zheng that your activities are very close to my clinic?"

Dr. Nile asked.

"Not far indeed."

Said the soup from the pot.

"Then why haven't you come to my clinic for treatment?"

Dr. Nile asked curiously.

Although his treatment methods are somewhat difficult to describe at a glance, they are considered to be of good quality and inexpensive, and he is quite famous in the area.

"Well if I tell you the truth, doctor, can you promise to let bygones be bygones?"

Guokou Tangzi hesitated for a moment and said.
