Chapter 592: Young Friend, This Old Man Is About to Show Off
Half a minute later, the Red Pig emerged from the tomb.
The porcelain pillow in its hand was gone, replaced by a brown flight jacket.
The jacket had many damaged areas, as well as many repair marks.
But all the repairs were done on the original basis, so they could only make the jacket look a bit less shabby and couldn't cover the damages.
"This is the jacket Qian Zao bought for me, and I've been wearing it ever since, until the day we were shot down."
The Red Pig fondly and reluctantly stroked the jacket.
"Take it."
With eyes closed, it resolutely handed the jacket to Liu Zheng.
Liu Zheng took the flight jacket, with no item description popping up.
"What's the use of this?"
He asked.
"I've cut a portion of my spiritual body and stored it in the jacket. As long as the jacket remains intact, it won't dissipate within a year. If placed in a place rich with Netherworld aura, the storage time will be further extended."
"The spirit division's strength is only one-quarter of mine, its intelligence not high, but it will completely obey your orders. It's enough to deal with ordinary small thieves."
"If you feed this fish to it, its strength can soar to a level slightly higher than mine. But after the burst, the spirit division will collapse."
The Red Pig explained.
"Can you hold on after splitting out one-quarter?"
Liu Zheng asked.
"As long as I'm not fighting, I'll be okay. Anyway, aside from when you two come here, I won't have any reason to fight."
The Red Pig glanced at him and said.
And now that Qian Zao has returned, it has no reason to fight.
"Right, what if the host wakes up after forty-nine days?"
As a pilot, calmness and rationality are its instincts.
After the initial joy, the Red Pig started to worry.
"Don't know. I'll ask the Tomb Guardian next time. Why worry? In less than ten days, I'll help you bring Qian Zao back. Are you afraid I can't solve this issue in forty-nine days?"
Liu Zheng replied carelessly.
"Okay, I'll leave it to you."
The Red Pig bowed deeply.
"Don't bow your head, the pig's head might fall. You're my boss's brother, bowing to me cuts my lifespan, doesn't it? I'm off."
He waved his hand and turned to leave.
"You've really found a good underling, Niu Ma."
The Red Pig muttered softly, watching his back as it eagerly returned to the tomb.
Leaving the cemetery, Liu Zheng arrived at Rose Street again.
"Quick! Give me my wine!"
Just entering the street's entrance, the French Plane Tree started shouting.
With such urgency, Liu Zheng feared it might grow wings and fly over; no need for evolution.
"Why the hurry? It's not like I'm not giving it to you."
He approached the French Plane Tree, taking out bottle after bottle of wine.
The French Plane Tree eagerly picked up a bottle and poured it into its mouth.
"Don't you absorb with roots?"
Liu Zheng asked curiously.
"Humph, who told you I can only absorb with roots? The trunk can also absorb, just slower. Such fine wine is perfect for a gentleman like me to savor slowly. Low-class humans like you wouldn't understand."
The French Plane Tree boasted while also belittling him.
"Yes, yes, then please enjoy, esteemed gentleman sir."
Liu Zheng placed the last bottle on the ground, gave a perfunctory remark, and prepared to leave.
"Did I let you go? Impolite human."
The French Plane Tree stopped him.
"Any more instructions, esteemed gentleman sir?"
He bowed and asked.
"Humph, I'm not like you humans who like to get things for free."
The French Plane Tree snorted, tossing a leather pouch in front of him.
"This is..."
Liu Zheng found it familiar, and quickly realized.
"Isn't this the Spirit Realm Gold Coin Bag?"
He picked up the pouch, and the item description immediately popped up.
"Name: Spirit Realm Gold Coin Bag"
"Type: Item"
"Quality: Perfect"
"Effect 1: Consume Spirit Realm Gold Coins to summon random Spirit Realm creatures to serve the player, the more Spirit Realm Gold Coins consumed, the stronger the summoned Spirit Realm creature, with an unfixed duration. Current Spirit Realm Gold Coin balance: 32 pieces."
"Effect 2: Each consumed Spirit Realm Gold Coin requires consumption of the player's own 'flesh' to replenish."
"Effect 3: Consuming Spirit Realm Gold Coins outside the coin bag can increase the bag's storage limit, at a ratio of 2:1."
"Note: I'm here to find you helpers, not to pimp you out!"
"Can it be taken out of the instance: Yes"
"Hmm..."
Feels like this Spirit Realm Gold Coin Bag has been through a lot.
But even with many experiences, isn't taking half the profits a bit too much?
"Wasn't this auctioned off by someone?"
Liu Zheng asked.
Didn't see the French Plane Tree bidding at the time.
"Can't he put it up for auction again? Stupid human."
Clearly, the French Plane Tree was in a good mood, replacing 'idiot' with 'stupid' in its vocabulary.
"Oh~ then thank you kind and generous French Noble, the most gentlemanly Mr. Delago of Rose Street."
He said, grinning.
Having a Perfect item, being called stupid or even a fool is acceptable.
"By the way system, what if I don't have enough 'flesh' to replenish the consumed Spirit Realm Gold Coins?"
Liu Zheng asked in his mind.
"When the number of consumed Spirit Realm Gold Coins exceeds the player's own 'flesh' amount, the system will issue a reminder."
The system replied.
"That's rather thoughtful."
He nodded.
Indeed, it's good to rely on a "big tree" for shade. Ordinary Metropolis residents don't have this perk, and can only try themselves or use other methods.
