The world has turned into Hell's Game, why should I stay human? Chapter 805 - 549: When Firepower Falls Short, Numbers Make

"That’s right, admitting mistakes and improving is the greatest virtue. With a senior executive like you at Green Shade Culture, the future looks promising."

Liu Zheng said with an expression of satisfaction.

"Mr. Liu, you’re joking. How could a vice director like be considered a senior executive?"

Vice Director Li said with a wry smile.

"Not now, but you will be in the future. Last ti, I helped your company eliminate so many bad apples, it’s ti for you to rise as a good one."

He said casually.

"Mr. Liu, let’s talk about so things privately; so people feel uncomfortable hearing them."

Vice Director Li smiled and said.

"If they’re uncomfortable, they should listen more; eventually, they’ll get used to it."

Liu Zheng said indifferently.

However, he didn’t continue speaking; so things are better left just hinted at.

"The company wants to entrust you to help find that mother and daughter. The company can guarantee that as long as they cooperate, no violence will be used against them, and their future life will be ensured."

Vice Director Li said.

Clearly, this favorable condition was offered because of Liu Zheng.

"I can’t take it."

Liu Zheng shook his head.

"It’s not about disrespecting you, or putting on airs; I truly don’t have ti. There are tasks from City Hall, the sewers, the cetery, and restaurants that aren’t completed, and even more that I can’t talk about."

"To put it bluntly, even the directors at City Hall might not be busier than I am. I’m spending cabbage money worrying about White Dragon concerns."

He sighed and said.

"So, Mr. Liu likes eating cabbage? I happen to have a relative growing vegetables outside the city; I’ll ask him to pick the best ones to send over."

Vice Director Li said.

"No, I was just giving an example. Hmm, though I must admit I do like eating it. Alright, send so then."

Liu Zheng gave up explaining.

Favors are reciprocated; one-sided gifts can easily turn great favors into great grudges.

Moreover, Niu Ma, being a herbivore, can’t just eat at every day; it’s a good opportunity to get so green food for its stomach.

"Alright, then I’ll call you when the ti cos."

"Just send it directly to the ’Imhotep’ Clinic; I often go there anyway."

He said.

He planned to ask everyone he could think of who had "fire," since the Tomb Guardian didn’t specify how much was needed anyway. Anything extra could be stored for future use.

"No problem."

Vice Director Li suddenly adopted a listening pose.

"Mr. Liu, the company hopes you can extend a helping hand in rescuing the mother and daughter. If both are successfully rescued, the company can offer you an additional million in paynt."

A mont later, it said.

"That I can do."

Liu Zheng nodded.

Rescuing people, the most troubleso part is the preliminary investigation and preparation; the final action is actually the simplest.

He had no psychological burden, so he would opt for the Russian-style rescue thod, betting the hostage’s life against the criminal’s.

"But I don’t need the million; just give another bomb like the one used last ti to blow up Red Forest Culture."

Liu Zheng said.

With the power of the Shark Tech Bomb, it should be enough to take out a lottery shop even without painting it red.

"Please wait, I’ll check."

Vice Director Li made the listening pose again.

"The company says it’s no longer available."

A few minutes later, it said regretfully.

"Sothing with less power will do, just get more of them; quantity makes up for the lack of power."

Liu Zheng compromised.

"When do you need them?"

Vice Director Li asked.

"The sooner the better. You know my personality; the more heart soone puts into helping , the more I’ll help them in return."

He said.

"Understood, I’ll emphasize this to the company."

Vice Director Li nodded.

"It’s ti; let’s sign off on the delivery."

Liu Zheng glanced at the ti, handing over the delivery to it.

"I know you’re not convenient, so I won’t ask you up for tea. This is so tea I just got, the quality is decent, you can take it back and try it."

Vice Director Li also handed over a box he had kept hidden behind him.

Liu Zheng took the box and opened it. Inside was a round tea cake with an embossed image of a five-clawed coiling dragon and a circle of auspicious clouds around it.

The tea cake was overall dark brown, but within the leaves ran red veins, resembling capillaries.

"Na: Phoenix Blood Pu’er Small Dragon Cake"

"Type: Item"

"Quality: Excellent"

"Effect: After use player’s physique 2, only effective on first use."

"Note: Made from Phoenix Blood Tea Tree leaves, highly favored by upper society, especially dragons and birds. Due to the wilting of the Phoenix Blood Tea Tree, this type of tea cake is a limited edition. Not recomnded to drink in the presence of the Phoenix clan."

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

"Without questioning whether your suggestion doubts my intelligence, where am I supposed to find a Phoenix?"

Liu Zheng rolled his eyes.

"Oh, turns out there really is one."

Si Xue’s office already had one locked up, and there was a French Plane Tree waiting to beco a Phoenix Egg.

"This tea originates from the Phoenix Blood Tea Tree, but the last one withered ten years ago. The Six Feather Tea House offered a high reward for a living Phoenix or related information."

Vice Director Li explained.

"Oh. Hmm?"

He frowned upon hearing the last sentence.

"The Phoenix only rests on the Guo Wutong, only feeds on trained food, and only drinks from the Sweet Spring, hence its purity. The tea tree grown from its blood is indeed a rare tea."

Vice Director Li suddenly made a literary reference.

"Everyone knows this?"

Liu Zheng said without any context.

"Hard to say. I only learned it from a tea friend. Six Feather Tea House seems to intend to inflate the price of Phoenix Blood Tea Cake. But after investigating, it appears they don’t have any debt issues or plans to expand their operations, which is quite odd."
