Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

He said proudly.

"Hmph, arrogant human."

The plane tree thought about it and actually couldn't refute it, so it could only mutter a remark.

"Hurry up and inspect the goods so I can deliver the coffin to the gravedigger."

This time it was Liu Zheng's turn to urge it on.

It's a good opportunity to take care of the matter of the deputy minister entrusting him to buy a burial plot at the same time.

"What's the rush? I'm getting tested, aren't I?"

The plane tree gave him a disapproving look.

But perhaps because Liu Zheng gave so much this time, his tone softened considerably.

"What abundant vitality, what pure natural power!"

The plane tree revealed the corpse of the wood elf royalty, its roots gently and meticulously caressing her body.

"Well, even though we're close and you're a tree, your actions and tone are really weird right now."

Liu Zheng squinted and said.

"Tch, you humans are the most perverted people."

The plane tree retorted.

"However, this is a bit troublesome."

Its tone suddenly became worried.

"What's wrong? You don't want a female, you want a male?"

"If you don't have a sense of humor, then shut up. The city hall's annual report is funnier than yours."

The plane tree scoffed.

"why?"

"The natural power of the Wood Elf royal family is too abundant. I'm worried that if I eat it, I'll be forced to evolve into a tree spirit or a similar creature."

The plane trees return.

"Then just eat less."

Liu Zheng said subconsciously.

"You idiot, you think it's really about eating?"

The plane tree rolled its eyes.

"Either don't eat it, or eat it all; otherwise, who knows what might go wrong."

"Then just eat them all. You're already hesitating between becoming a tree spirit or a phoenix, aren't you? Instead of agonizing over it yourself, just leave it to luck."

he suggested.

"Only the weak believe in luck; the strong believe only in strength."

The plane tree rejected his suggestion.

"Then you can worry about it yourself, powerful one. Anyway, I've given you the item, so hurry up and give me the coffin. As for the excess value, just keep it for now and exchange it when I need it."

Liu Zheng shrugged.

"Ugh, you idiot humans! What's wrong with waiting for me?!"

The plane tree went crazy.

"Why are you, a French nobleman, so rude? Fine, fine, I'll wait another ten minutes, okay?"

He spoke in a tone that suggested he couldn't do anything about you.

"Humph!"

The plane tree gave a haughty snort and looked at the other roadside trees.

"Why are you looking at them? Aren't they mentally challenged? Are they trying to give you advice?"

Liu Zheng asked, puzzled.

"I don't need them to give me advice. I'm just thinking about whether I should add another one of my kind."

"It's a plane tree," said the French plane tree.

Chapter 426 The London Plane Tree: No matter how big it is, it's not as big as me.

"Didn't you suck them all dry?"

Liu Zheng asked.

“Idiot humans, I only drained their spirituality, not their life force.”

"This body inherently contains spirituality, which I just don't want."

"It's a plane tree," said the French plane tree.

"Oh, I see. You want other trees to absorb the excess spiritual energy and natural power so that you won't have any left over."

He suddenly said.

"Hmph, at least you're not completely stupid."

The plane trees stand proudly.

"Then just pick any tree. Look, isn't that one the same species as yours? Perfect for finding yourself 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 the saying 'two tigers cannot share one mountain'?"

The plane tree gave him a disapproving look.

"What are you afraid of? How could a newly sprouted sapling possibly defeat you?"

Going from having no wisdom to having wisdom is arguably a rebirth.

"Of course we can't beat it. But it's also public property. Even if I am public property, I can't directly destroy other public property. I can only slowly rob it of its nutrients and wear it down."

"But this delay introduces many variables."

The London plane tree explained.

"What variables?"

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 fighting prowess and the fact that it's public property, it would have been vandalized long ago.

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

"Then just find a tree that isn't public property."

"Idiot human, not every tree can digest the Wood Elf royal family."

The plane tree shook its head.

It can choose any tree on this street because these trees were planted by the city hall and are naturally endowed with the foundation to become intelligent beings; it's just a matter of whether it has the luck.

If you were to look outside, you might not be able to find even one tree with this talent out of ten thousand.

"I do have one here, see if it will work for you."

Liu Zheng remembered the ginseng doll that Yuan Bao'er had given him.

Name: The Comatose Ginseng Doll

Type: Item

Quality: Excellent

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

"Effect 2: Gain the 'Full of Energy' status. This effect cannot be triggered simultaneously with Effect 3."

"Effect 2: If the player is currently in a dying state, it can prevent the injury from worsening naturally for one hour. It cannot be triggered at the same time as Effect 2."

"Note: I've said it countless times, orphanages do not allow the adoption of ginseng babies. Get out!"

"Can it be taken out of the instance: No"

"But if it's not in a golden container, it seems like it might escape. Do you have one here?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Just release it. No plant can escape from me."

The plane tree said confidently.

"Alright, but if it gets away, don't blame me for not warning you. You'll have to compensate me with one that's about the same."

He laid out the unpleasant truths upfront.

"Stop being so long-winded, just take it out already."

The plane trees urged on.

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

"ah!"

As soon as it opened its eyes, the ginseng baby let out a scream.

Then, it tore off its red bellyband.

Her tiny breasts, exposed to the air, trembled slightly.

The next second, the ginseng doll disappeared completely, leaving only a large leaf in Liu Zheng's hand.

“He really ran away.”

"It can't escape."

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

Countless tree roots extend in all directions, like a net covering the sky and the earth. Wherever they pass, the underground creatures either flee frantically or close their eyes and await death.

In the past, it wouldn't have minded having an extra meal.

But now, its eyes are only on some naked little thing.

Soon, a tree root broke through the soil, and the root system at the top tied a trembling little figure like a rope—it was the ginseng baby who had escaped.

"Behave yourself, you little brat."

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

"Otherwise, I'll just swallow you whole, without even chewing the bones."

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

"ah!"

The ginseng doll screamed and fainted immediately.

"They're such cowards."

The plane tree scoffed, but a satisfied expression appeared on its face.

Being timid is just right; if it's too daring, it won't be happy.

"How about it? Is this okay?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"So-so. He has plenty of spirituality, but his foundation is weak. Even if he absorbs the corpse of the Wood Elf royal family, he won't amount to much."

The London plane tree commented.

"Isn't that perfect? ​​If it becomes something great, you'll have to worry about it turning on you."

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