The world has turned into Hell's Game, why should I stay human?!

"Mm. Let's eat."

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

"Okay."

Liu Zheng was not shy and took the bowl, starting to chow down.

Perhaps knowing his bloodline trait, Yuriko made dishes that were heavy in oil and salt.

Unfortunately, she didn't add any chili peppers.

Luckily, there was no sugar either, otherwise he might have had to show some inapproriateness.

After a session of high-efficiency eating, Liu Zheng put down his chopsticks.

"I'm full."

He raised his hand and said.

"Not going to have a little more? There's still plenty of ingredients in the fridge."

Yuriko said gently.

"No, my energy reserves are sufficient, eating more will affect my activities."

Liu Zheng shook his head and said.

"Sigh, I thought your brother-in-law was already busy enough, but you are even busier than him."

Yuriko sighed.

How suddenly the willow's hue appears at the end of the street, regretful to have made one's husband seek a lordship.

Although Yuriko didn't know this poem, her mood was the same.

"Busy working or busy being worked to death. But you can't keep working at the Bloody Restaurant, you need to change jobs before settling down."

Silver Wolf chimed in.

"We'll see. I've only been in the Bloody Restaurant for ten days."

He casually replied.

"Ten days..."

Silver Wolf suddenly didn't feel like talking anymore.

After a few plates of post-dinner fruit, the family banquet was concluded.

"Hmm?"

Silver Wolf gave Yuriko a look, and Yuriko understood, getting up to bring two boxes of different sizes from the bedroom.

"In this big box is a treasure I got by chance, meant to save your life if you fail to advance. If your answer just now can't satisfy me, I'll give this to you."

"In this small box is the championship reward I got in the arena. If your answer satisfies me, I'll give this to you."

Silver Wolf pointed at the two boxes and said.

"Can I have them both?"

Liu Zheng shamelessly said.

"Sure."

To his surprise, Silver Wolf agreed.

"Garlic bird garlic bird, it's not easy for any of us. You're the brother-in-law, you take the big one, I'm the brother-in-law from the mother's side, I take the small one."

He said regretfully.

He didn't really want both, just habitually being cheeky.

But Silver Wolf didn't play along, making it rather uninteresting.

Sigh, it was still more fun bickering with Niu Ma and the French Plane Tree.

"Just take it then."

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

When he opened the box, inside was a ring.

The band was gold, with a wolf head made of platinum on it, and the wolf head wore a laurel crown.

"Name: Arena Champion Ring"

"Type: Equipment"

"Quality: Excellent"

"Effect One: Strength, Constitution, and Perception attributes +5."

"Effect Two: If the player has won an arena competition once, the attribute bonus is additionally increased by 5 points."

"Effect Three: When the player is in an arena-like environment, gains the 'First Strike' skill."

"Notes: No time for losers, Cause we are the champions of the Metropolis."

"Can be taken out of the instance: Yes"

"First Strike: The player's initial effective attack on a target doubles in damage and has a very high chance of causing a stun effect, whose duration is inversely related to the target's Constitution attribute."

"Good stuff!"

Liu Zheng's eyes lit up.

Unconditional attribute boosts across three stats are already quite nice, and the skill attached to Effect Two is a perfect blend of damage and control.

Too bad the trigger condition is a bit strict, otherwise, rating it as Perfect Quality wouldn't be far-fetched.

"Thank you, Brother-in-law."

He said sincerely.

Among all the excellent items he had obtained, this was considered top-tier.

"As long as you're happy. Don't think about entering arena competitions; extraordinary items are banned there."

Silver Wolf reminded him.

"Okay. Then Yuriko, I won't help you wash the dishes, I'm leaving first."

Liu Zheng stood up and said.

"How could I let a guest wash dishes, what nonsense."

Yuriko laughed and scolded.

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

Silver Wolf nodded.

After leaving the residential area, Liu Zheng was just about to get into the car when his phone rang.

Looking at the caller ID, it was unexpectedly Black Skull from the Sanitation Department.

"Is this about urging progress?"

He furrowed his brow but still pressed the answer button.

"What's up, Nigga?"

Liu Zheng asked while mentally preparing his wording.

After all, they weren't very familiar, so he had to speak courteously.

"Bro, do you know the tree on Rose Street quite well?"

Black Skull's words caught him by surprise.

"It's my best friend."

He sensed trouble ahead but answered without hesitation.

"What happened, Nigga?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"The department received a complaint about noise from Rose Street disrupting lives, so we sent people to handle it. You know, that tree's situation is special. At first, we only wanted to persuade it a bit, and that's it."

"But the tree not only didn't stop, the more we advised, the more vigorously it sang."

"In the end, we had no choice but to take coercive measures."

Black Skull described vividly.

"It didn't resist arrest, did it?"

He had a bad feeling.

"Yes, it injured several of our colleagues and even smashed up our car."

Black Skull said indignantly.

"No fatalities, right?"

Liu Zheng quickly asked.

"None, otherwise I wouldn't be calling you now."

"Good, good."

He breathed a slight sigh of relief.

The difference between having fatalities and not was considerable.

"What's good about it? The Deputy Director found out about this and was very angry, issuing instructions to severely punish the perpetrator. The department has already discussed initial handling results."

"What's the outcome?"

Liu Zheng asked quickly.
