The world has turned into Hell's Game, why should I stay human? Chapter 1008 650: Liu Zheng: The French Plane Tree Is My Dea

The store owner had been desperately suppressing the stench with his fist energy, but now the fire sparked an explosive increase.

"BOOM!"

A multicolored shockwave exploded, leveling the entire lottery store.

Liu Zheng and Panda were also blown into the air, becoming aerial human and aerial bear.

A good minute later, Panda finally fell from the sky.

Liu Zheng flew even longer, having been blasted to just a head and half a trapezius.

"Sunshine Glorious Flag, go!"

Panda, despite the pain, called upon the remaining portion of the Sunshine Glorious Flag to catch Liu Zheng before his head hit the ground.

"Good job."

Liu Zheng shook his head and praised.

Panda rolled his eyes, too exhausted to speak.

"Impressive, impressive."

At this mont, a woman in a light green gown walked out of the alley, clapping and praising.

"You truly deserve the reputation as the new delivery man making a big scene wherever you go."

She remarked, glancing at the ruins of the lottery store in the distance.

"You're too kind. I'm rely standing on the dung pile of my predecessors."

Liu Zheng responded humbly.

anwhile, flesh buds sprouted from the severed point of his neck, weaving a new body.

"This kind of regenerative ability is truly awe-inspiring, akin to the legendary rebirth from a drop of blood, wouldn't you say?"

The woman praised once again.

"That's far from it. If I could truly regenerate from a drop of blood, I'd have punched you dead by now."

Liu Zheng remained modest.

"Mr. Liu, this is our first eting, why resort to hurtful words?"

The woman slightly furrowed her brow.

"Our eting happens right after I've been severely injured in battle. You wouldn't claim you just happened to pass by or ca here to save , right?"

He chuckled.

"That's not impossible. However, I need to discuss a business deal with you first."

The woman stated.

"Alright, I'm always up for a business deal. I'll ntion a place, you go ahead and book a room, and I'll co over once I'm ready."

Liu Zheng agreed readily.

"Mr. Liu, you are indeed eloquent, but I'm afraid I cannot let you recover. Once you regain your strength, this business discussion might not go well."

The woman flicked her finger, and a black seed shot out, exploding above his head.

Black powder rained down on Liu Zheng, imdiately slowing the pace of his bodily regeneration.

"The Seed of Withering, specifically designed to counter individuals with strong regenerative abilities. We went to great lengths to obtain it. Mr. Liu, are you satisfied with its effect?"

The woman asked with a smile.

"The effect is decent; it's just that the color is quite unpleasant. How about helping swap it for a white one as if it's a skin whitening treatnt?"

He replied earnestly.

"I heard the Zhen Dan saying, 'Faced with a crumbling Tai Mountain yet maintain composure,' Mr. Liu indeed has the spirit of a warrior."

The woman gazed at him with appreciation.

"I'd rather be a brave adventurer than a warrior. Alright, tell , what kind of business are we talking about?"

Liu Zheng inquired.

Though his regenerative speed slowed, it is now akin to the ti it had Gospel enhancent, so for now, it wasn't much of a hindrance.

"We'd like to discuss the matter regarding that tree with you."

The woman eyed his regenerating flesh with concealed amazent.

The effect of the Seed of Withering should completely impede the opponent's bodily regeneration or even cause the regenerated flesh to wither, yet Liu Zheng continued to recover. It was truly astonishing.

No wonder the company was extrely cautious in their planning, even advising her against using force.

"Which tree?"

"Mr. Liu, must we play dumb? Naturally, it's the French Plane Tree on Rose Street."

The woman responded.

"Oh, oh, I vaguely recall it, not that familiar though. So, are you looking to purchase coffins from it too?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"What do you an by that, Mr. Liu?"

The woman's eyebrows knitted.

Her attitude had always been friendly, yet this guy's words were constantly sharp; wasn't he supposed to treat won fairly well?

"Literally. The coffin wood from the French Plane Tree is quite impressive; both Vampires and Tomb Guardians have had purchase on their behalf, all rated highly."

Liu Zheng explained.

"Tomb Guardians?"

The woman's complexion changed upon hearing this na.

Compared to representatives of other landmarks, the Tomb Guardian was the one tropolis residents interacted with most frequently.

"Does he often have you purchase coffins, Mr. Liu?"

She probed tentatively.

"Not really, just once. Recently, he commissioned to procure seven types of high-quality flas, and I've only managed to gather six so far, leaving one I haven't found yet and giving a headache. Hey, do you have it? If so, I'd happily buy it at a high price."

Liu Zheng flipped the business talk on its head.

"If Mr. Liu agrees to our terms, it wouldn't be a problem to discuss."

The woman hesitated for a mont, then her eyes glead with an idea.

Her company indeed possessed a high-quality fla, always regarded as a prized asset by the boss.

But if Liu Zheng agreed to the company's terms, this kind of fla would be obtainable in abundance, thus giving him so was no issue.

"Really? Then what's the offer?"

Liu Zheng asked excitedly.

"We wish for you to remain neutral regarding future matters involving the French Plane Tree."

The woman stated.

"That's impossible. The French Plane Tree is my beloved kin, my brother; I could never stand idly by regarding its matters."

He firmly refused.

"Didn't you say you weren't that familiar with it just now?"

"That's its unfamiliarity with on its end; I'm completely dedicated to it, even planning to be buried under it once I pass."

Liu Zheng earnestly replied.

"Then it seems the deal is off."

The woman said regretfully.

"Huh? When did I say it's off?"

He looked puzzled.

"Didn't you just proclaim the French Plane Tree as your beloved kin, your brother, fully invested and unable to stand idly by?"

"Exactly. What I'm saying is, convincing is quite difficult, you'll need to raise the price. Isn't this common sense?"

Liu Zheng spoke with an exasperated tone.

"...Then please, Mr. Liu, na your price."

The woman was speechless montarily before responding.

"No rush, let account it first. Last ti, the French Plane Tree offended the sanitation departnt; I barely managed to get it out, not counting favors, just cash alone cost five million. That amount, you need to cover, right?"

"Sure."

She agreed straightforwardly.

Five million is not trivial, but compared to the benefits of securing the French Plane Tree, it's negligible.

"Good. To appease it, I procured a fruit from the Epoch Oak and a corpse of Wood Elf Royal Family for it. If I fall out with it, these efforts go to waste, you need to reimburse that loss too, right?"

Liu Zheng continued.

"How much would you rate these items?"

"At least ten million."

He calculated and replied after a mont.

"Ten million...alright."

This ti, the woman hesitated but agreed.

"Great. I even gave it a spirited Ginseng Sprite; that Ginseng Sprite calls father, you know, now guess how much that's worth."

"Better if you state it yourself, Mr. Liu."

The woman replied expressionlessly.

"If you ask , for just that 'father,' it's worth two million."

"Alright."

Facing Liu Zheng's exorbitant demands, the woman agreed without batting an eye.

"That's sincere. Then let continue..."

"Mr. Liu, just set a total price. If you continue, I wouldn't have another Seed of Withering to encourage your cooperation."

The woman interrupted him.

"Fair enough, then I'll na a flat price."

Liu Zheng reluctantly conceded.

"Please do."

The woman made a listening gesture.

"One billion, if you hand a billion right now, I'll sever ties with the French Plane Tree."

"Are you joking, Mr. Liu?"

The woman frowned.

One billion, their company's valuation wasn't even worth that.

"I'm not joking. In my estimation, it's worth that. If you can't afford it, that's your problem."

He responded with delight.

"Sounds like you're indeed stalling, Mr. Liu. I'll have to escort you back to discuss in more detail then."

The woman took a deep breath, sending out two streams of white silk aid to wrap around Liu Zheng and Panda.
