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

"Transplant it into the volcano to drink lava."

Black Skull said.

With the strength of the French Plane Tree, even if it gets transplanted into a volcano, it won't die immediately. It'll suffer for several years, which is exactly what the Sanitation Department wants.

"The initial discussion is not yet conclusive, right?"

He keenly grasped the key point.

"Yeah, otherwise why would I call you? It's to get you to think of a solution quickly."

Black Skull said naturally.

"What can I do..."

Liu Zheng said with a bitter smile.

Even if the French Plane Tree evolves into a Phoenix and runs away now, it would still be too late.

"Then just let it fend for itself. To be honest, it's not worth befriending someone who causes trouble when drinking."

Black Skull advised.

"Even so, I can't bear to abandon it. Nigga, could you please show me a way?"

He shook his head and said.

Not that Liu Zheng is smart, he was already eaten by the French Plane Tree on the first day.

But if it weren't for the French Plane Tree, his first delivery would have been delayed.

You can't say who owes whom, but he couldn't just watch the French Plane Tree die.

"Sigh, you're too emotional, just like your brother-in-law. Alright, I'll help you stall the section chief for an hour, so hurry and think of a way. That's all I can do."

Black Skull sighed and said.

"Thank you so much. By the way, Nigga, what's the name of that deputy director?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Well..."

Black Skull hesitated a bit.

"If it's inconvenient, just forget it. I'll find out myself, don't trouble yourself, Nigga."

He said considerately.

"Oh, it's not about inconvenience, I'm just trying to recall the full name. Got it."

"It's called Uvuvwevwevwe Onyetenyevwe Ugwemuhwem Osas."

Black Skull recited a string of syllables like a tongue twister.

"What the heck is that?"

Liu Zheng's expression turned into o.0?

"I knew you wouldn't remember, let me say it again, listen carefully this time."

Black Skull slowed down and said it again.

"Remember it clearly this time?"

It asked.

"Sort of. Do you always use the full name when you call it?"

He squinted and asked.

"How could that be? We only use the full name on formal occasions, normally we call it Director Wu or Director Osas."

Black Skull said.

"Okay. Thanks, Nigga."

"Hmm, handle it well. Just do your best; if you exhaust yourself saving one person, what about the others?"

Black Skull gave another piece of advice before hanging up.

"Who should be saved and who shouldn't?"

Liu Zheng shook his head.

He doesn't understand so much, so he'll just act and behave according to his instincts.

An hour can feel both long and short.

To make the most of this hour, the order of the calls is very important.

And the first call Liu Zheng made was undoubtedly to 4399.

"What's up?"

4399's tone was still like a robot.

"My tree friend ran into some trouble..."

He succinctly explained the situation.

"I'll check it out first."

4399 said.

"Okay."

After hanging up, Liu Zheng called Silver Wolf.

"Brother-in-law, there's this issue."

He explained the situation again.

"The person I'm most familiar with in the Sanitation Department is Lao Hei. I'll help you inquire, but don't expect much."

Silver Wolf said after listening.

"Alright, thanks, Brother-in-law."

The third call, Liu Zheng made to Ace.

"Don't tell me you're secretly in love with me? Just so you know, I'm only against arranged dating, but my sexual orientation is quite normal."

Ace said cautiously.

"Don't worry, my sexual orientation is only more normal than yours."

He said speechlessly.

He was always careful about the wild beliefs of these Metropolis residents, but now he was actually being guarded against them.

"Oh, that's fine then. What do you want from me? That security guard still won't let you in?"

Ace breathed a sigh of relief and said.

"With you intervening, would he dare not let me in? It's about something else."

Liu Zheng first complimented him, then talked about the French Plane Tree.

"I don't know anyone in the Sanitation Department."

Ace scratched his head on the other end of the call.

"Alright, I don't know anyone outside the Security Department either."

He admitted his weakness.

"It's alright, thanks anyway."

"No problem, I'll continue eating my takeaway then."

Ace said tentatively.

"Go ahead, eat."

Liu Zheng smiled and hung up the phone.

This Hobbit second generation is quite amusing, much like a nerd friend he knows in reality.

Just as he was about to make the fourth call, 4399 called him back.

"The matter is a bit complicated."

4399 said straight to the point.

"What do you mean?"

"That Osas likes to keep humans as pets and is very close to the Mixed Blood Sect, not getting along well with our Rejection Sect."

4399 said.

"Is there any indirect way? Like finding an intermediary."

A friend's enemy is not necessarily my enemy. There's always someone who can maintain good relations with everyone.

"How much are you willing to pay?"

4399 asked.

"As much as I can."

Liu Zheng replied.

"We did find an intermediary, but their price is extremely high. The specifics are not to be disclosed, involving internal affairs of City Hall."

"After some discussion above, if you insist on saving that tree, we'll give you another task after deducting your previous credits."

4399 said.

"What task?"

"We previously demolished a human farm under the guise of illegal operations and rescued a number of humans. Among them was one particularly gifted and quick learner. We registered her, sent her to school, and after graduation, arranged for her to pass the exam and become a formal employee of City Hall."

"We intended to make her a flagship example, but she fell for a 'Mixed Blood Sect' beauty scheme and defected directly to the other side. Not only did she defect, but she also took a lot of our documents as a pledge."

4399's tone showed rare fluctuation.

"Because of this, we clashed with the 'Mixed Blood Sect' several times, and later multiple parties mediated before it was temporarily resolved. But this has always been considered a disgrace."

"Recently, that woman seems to think the storm has passed, and she's starting to appear in public again. It's time to erase this disgrace."

"And you're the best candidate for the job."

For someone from the Bloody Restaurant to kill someone is as normal as anything, even a formal City Hall employee.

What? You suspect he was tasked by someone?

Then send someone to issue a notice to the Bloody Restaurant, asking them to cooperate with the investigation.

"Is there enough time?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"We can deal with that person later, let's handle the tree problem first."

4399 said.

"Alright, then..."

His words were cut off, as Ace called him again.

"Sorry, I need to take a call."

He said to 4399.

"Okay."

4399 ended the call voluntarily.

"Finished your takeaway?"

Liu Zheng laughed.

"I didn't finish it; it was too horrible. Even my feet can cook better than that. I'll go online and leave a negative review later."

Ace said indignantly.

"Haha. Should I have someone send over a meal for you?"

"Please don't, I can't afford to order your Bloody Restaurant's takeaway."

Ace was so scared that he almost stuttered.

He wasn't like his father, a Travel Mage who could slap a dragon to death. If the Bloody Restaurant delivered him a meal, he wouldn't survive fully intact.

"Haha, don't worry, it's not from our restaurant. It's from a cooking team I know, they're great at making soup."

Liu Zheng laughed and said.

"Oh, that's okay. Then make it four dishes, one soup, one dessert, and two appetizers. I don't like poultry, and for the soup, I'd like mushroom soup. The dessert shouldn't be too sweet, preferably chilled."

Ace stated his preferences.

"Alright, I'll deliver it personally when it's ready."

"You're a really nice guy, you know."

Ace sounded a bit touched.

"Hmm, receiving a 'nice guy card' unexpectedly. By the way, why did you call me?"

He brought the topic back.

"Oh, right, I almost forgot. I asked around for you; my uncle's daughter-in-law's granduncle's classmate is now a deputy director in the Ministry of Finance. If he intervenes, it might solve your tree friend's problem."

Ace said.

"Ministry of Finance?"

Liu Zheng was a bit stunned.

This relationship is pretty indirect in various ways.
