Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

"However, I feel at ease. That's enough."

He then said with a smile.

Chapter 599 The French Plane Tree is in Trouble

"Okay. Let's eat."

Silver Wolf picked up the bowl and filled it to the brim with rice.

"it is good."

Liu Zheng didn't stand on ceremony, took the bowl, and started eating.

Perhaps knowing his bloodline characteristics, Yuriko always cooked dishes that were high in oil and salt.

Unfortunately, not much chili was added.

Thankfully, no sugar was added, otherwise he might have acted rather rudely.

After a quick and efficient meal, Liu Zheng put down his chopsticks and bowl.

"I'm stuffed."

He raised his tentacle.

"Won't you eat something else? There's plenty of food in the fridge."

Yuriko said gently.

"No, I have enough energy reserves. Eating any more will affect my mobility."

Liu Zheng shook his head.

"Sigh, I thought your brother-in-law was busy enough, but it turns out you're even busier than him."

Yuriko sighed.

Suddenly I saw the color of the willows on the street, regretting the husband-in-law looking for the title.

Although Yuriko didn't know the poem, she felt the same way.

"If you're not busy working, you're busy being worked to death. But it's really not good for you to keep working at the Bloody Restaurant. You need to change jobs before you settle down."

Silver Wolf picked up the conversation.

"Let's see. I've only been at Bloody Restaurant for ten days."

He replied casually.

Ten days.

Silver Wolf suddenly seemed a little reluctant to talk.

After eating a few more plates of fruit, the family dinner came to an end.

"Ok?"

Silver Wolf winked at Yuriko, who understood and got up to take out two boxes, one large and one small, from the bedroom.

"This big box contains a treasure I acquired by chance. It was originally intended to save my life if I failed to advance my promotion. If your answer just now did not satisfy me, I will give it to you."

"This little box contains the prize I won in the Colosseum. If your answer satisfies me, I will give it to you."

Silver Wolf pointed to the two boxes and said.

Can I have them all?

Liu Zheng said shamelessly.

"can."

And Silver Wolf actually agreed.

"Garlic bird, garlic bird, it's not easy for either of us. You're the brother-in-law, so you take the big one; I'm the sister's brother-in-law, so I take the small one."

he said regretfully.

He didn't really want it all; he just habitually acted like a fool.

But Silver Wolf isn't cooperating, which makes things quite boring.

Sigh, it's still more fun arguing with those two guys, Niu Ma and the French plane tree.

"Then take it."

Silver Wolf pushed the small box in front of Liu Zheng.

He opened the box; inside was a ring.

The ring band is made of gold, and the ring face is a platinum wolf head with a laurel wreath on its head.

Name: Colosseum Champion Ring

Type: Equipment

Quality: Excellent

"Effect 1: Strength, Constitution, and Perception all increased by 5."

"Effect 2: If a player has won a gladiatorial contest, their attribute bonus will be increased by an additional 5 points."

"Effect 3: When players are in an environment similar to a gladiator, they will gain the 'Headbutt' skill."

"Note: No time for losers, because we are the champions of the Metropolis."

"Can it be taken out of the instance: Yes"

"Head-on Strike: The player's first effective attack on the target deals double damage and has a very high chance of causing a stun effect. The duration of the stun effect is negatively correlated with the target's constitution attribute."

"Good stuff!"

Liu Zheng's eyes lit up.

The unconditional bonus to all three attributes is already quite good, and the skill attached to the second effect combines damage and control.

It's a pity that the triggering conditions are a bit too demanding; otherwise, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to rate it as perfect quality.

"Thank you, brother-in-law."

He said it sincerely.

This item was considered one of the finest among all the excellent items he had ever acquired.

"As long as you're satisfied. Don't even think about participating in the arena matches; supernatural items are prohibited there."

Silver Wolf offered a reminder.

"Okay. Then I won't help you wash the dishes, Yuriko-neechan. I'll be going now."

Liu Zheng stood up and said.

"How could we let the guests wash the dishes? That's just nonsense."

Yuriko laughed and scolded.

"Go ahead, I won't see you off."

Silver Wolf nodded.

As Liu Zhenggang was about to get into his car after leaving the residential compound, his phone rang.

I glanced at the caller ID and saw it was Black Skull from the sanitation department.

"Is this a push to speed things up?"

He frowned, but still pressed the answer button.

"What's wrong, Blackie?"

As Liu Zheng asked the questions, he was mentally preparing his answer.

Since we're not very familiar with each other, we should be more tactful in our speech.

"Hey bro, are you really familiar with that tree on Rose Street?"

Black Skull's words took him completely by surprise.

"It is my best friend."

He sensed something was wrong, but answered without hesitation.

"What happened, Blackie?"

Liu Zheng asked.

“The department received a complaint that someone was making noise on Rose Street, so we sent people to deal with it. As you know, that tree is a special case. At first, we just wanted to persuade them to stop and that was it.”

"As a result, the tree not only didn't stop, but the more we urged it, the more enthusiastically it sang."

"Well, there's no other way now, we'll have to resort to force."

The black skull recounted the story vividly.

"Won't it resist arrest?"

He had an ominous premonition.

"By the way, they injured several of our brothers and smashed our car."

"Black Skull said angrily."

"No one died, right?"

Liu Zheng quickly asked.

No, otherwise I wouldn't have called you.

"That's fine, that's fine."

He breathed a sigh of relief.

Whether someone is dead or not is a completely different concept.

"What's so good about it? Our deputy director found out about this, and he was furious and gave instructions to severely punish the thugs. Corey has already reached a preliminary conclusion on how to handle it."

"what's the result?"

Liu Zheng quickly asked.

"Transplant it into the volcano and let it drink the lava."

"That's what the black skull said."

Given the resilience of London plane trees, even if transplanted into a volcano, they wouldn't die immediately; they would suffer for at least several years, which is exactly the effect the sanitation department wanted.

"Preliminary discussion means there's no conclusion yet, right?"

He astutely grasped the key point.

"Yeah, otherwise why would I call you? It's so you can hurry up and come up with a solution."

"That's what the black skull said naturally."

What can I do?

Liu Zheng smiled wryly.

Even if we were to transform the plane tree into a phoenix and run away now, it would be too late.

"Then let it fend for itself. To be honest, it's better not to have friends like this who cause trouble when they drink."

The black skull advised.

"Even so, I can't bear to give up on it. Brother Black, please show me the way."

He shook his head.

If Liu Zheng hadn't been so clever, he would have been devoured by the plane trees on the very first day.

But if it weren't for the plane tree, he would have been late for his first delivery.

It's not a matter of who owes whom, but he couldn't bear to watch the plane trees die.

"Sigh, you're just too sentimental, just like your brother-in-law. Here's what we'll do: I'll hold off the section chief for an hour, you hurry up and figure something out, that's all I can do."

The black skull sighed.
