Chapter 625: Mr. Liu Is Just Too Good (Part 2)
"Don't listen to his nonsense, every department is a part of City Hall, there are no such distinctions as high or low, noble or humble."
4399 said seriously.
"Looks like what Brother Jie said is true."
Liu Zheng laughed.
Usually, only those who enjoy privileges themselves would claim everyone is equal.
4399 glanced at him sideways, without responding.
Perhaps it was due to the fear of the symbol of the Department of Religion and Mystery, but indeed, there was no obstruction along the way.
"Brother Jie, stop for a moment!"
After flying for over an hour, Liu Zheng suddenly shouted.
"Little Carpet, stop."
The Blue Elf patted the magic carpet, and the carpet immediately came to a sudden stop.
There was no expected inertia, everyone just stopped as casually as if they were on a stroll, leisurely admiring the scenery.
"The way your precious carpet stops so abruptly without inertia is truly amazing."
Liu Zheng sincerely praised.
"Of course. Even our Chief often specifically asks to ride my magic carpet when heading out."
The Blue Elf said proudly.
"Impressive, impressive."
As he spoke, he looked at his finger, which was pointing straight down.
"Brother Jie, could you ask your precious carpet to land?"
He said.
"Alright."
This time, without a command from the Blue Elf, the magic carpet voluntarily descended quickly.
Soon, everyone landed on a mountaintop.
The mountaintop was barren, not to mention trees, there weren't even many blades of grass.
"Is it here?"
The Blue Elf asked.
"That's right, it's here."
Liu Zheng looked at his finger, pointing directly at the ground.
"Alright, we'll be off then."
The Blue Elf nodded.
Though he had registered for public outings, he couldn't stay outside for long.
"Thanks to both brothers for your help."
Liu Zheng watched as the two left on the magic carpet.
"Finally, we've arrived."
He sighed with relief.
This journey into the mountains was full of ups and downs, with many unexpected situations. Before even reaching the destination, half of the team was down, and those remaining were all injured.
Luckily, the result turned out well. Roughly estimating, they saved several hours compared to the planned time.
"Dear Miss Tian Tian, do you have any experience with blowing up mountains?"
Liu Zheng asked.
"Dear human gentleman, I don't have experience in that area, but I can roughly assess if your explosives are powerful enough."
Shi Tiantian replied.
If Liu Zheng's bombs were too powerful, she would advise him to tone them down a bit.
After all, protecting the environment of the Ten Thousand Great Mountains is the duty of the Stone Spirit Clan.
"That's great, Miss Tian Tian, could you see if this is enough?"
Liu Zheng took out three Laughing Gas Bombs.
"Name: Laughing Gas Bomb (one-time use)"
"Type: Item"
"Quality: Excellent"
"Effect: Causes a violent explosion within three seconds after being thrown, time is random. If the player does not mimic the bomb's facial expression when throwing, the explosion effect changes to producing laughing gas."
"Note: Always throw bombs with a smile, look at me, how happy I'm smiling. Damn, who replaced my explosion-proof shield with an acrylic board?!"
"Can be taken out of instance: Yes"
"Dear human gentleman, though this mountain isn't a mining mountain, trying to blow it up with this is underestimating it."
Shi Tiantian said with a chuckle.
"Haha, I was just casually asking."
Liu Zheng also laughed.
These three Laughing Gas Bombs were mainly for blowing up a lottery shop, indeed a bit overestimating to use on a mountain.
"How about this combined with this?"
He also revealed the dumpling mark.
"Still not quite enough."
Shi Tiantian thought for a moment and said.
Though this unknown mountain wasn't large, its altitude was over a thousand meters, weighing tens of billions of tons.
"Seems like it still requires the help of Miss Tian Tian to locate the mountain core."
Liu Zheng said.
"It's no trouble at all, I'm happy to help you."
Shi Tiantian smiled sweetly, causing everyone except Liu Zheng to get goosebumps.
"However, I must first confirm the condition of this mountain. If it sits on the air root of the Ten Thousand Great Mountains, I must report it to my mother for handling."
She said.
"What is an air root?"
Liu Zheng asked.
"Generally, mountain ranges are said to be dragon veins, but the Ten Thousand Great Mountains are more like an upside-down giant tree, and the peaks are its exposed roots. Blowing up peaks that damage the air veins of the Ten Thousand Great Mountains are air roots."
Shi Tiantian explained.
"I see. So if it's an air vein, it can't be blown up?"
"Not entirely unblowable, after all, during battles between Great Demonic Kings, breaking air roots isn't uncommon. Our Stone Spirit Clan has the ability to reshape peaks, and will reshape air roots afterward. Of course, the cost won't be just a Miniature Akon Gemstone."
Shi Tiantian said frankly.
"Understood. But if additional costs are required, is it possible to blow up the mountain first, and settle the cost afterward?"
He asked.
"For someone else, I wouldn't agree, but for you, of course, that's not a problem."
Shi Tiantian agreed readily.
"If you break your promise, I will find you at all costs and bury you in the mountain core, reshaping this mountain alone, whether it takes a thousand years or ten thousand years."
She said with a smile.
"Immortal Species' love is truly a heavy burden."
Lao Si couldn't help but whisper to Bai San.
Though his lifespan far exceeds humans, compared to the Stone Essence, who could rival the Dragon Clan in longevity, it's far behind.
"Love from the Stone Spirit Clan is as big as a mountain, isn't it?"
Bai San chimed in.
"Ahem!"
Liu Zheng glared at them.
Being so old and still whispering like little girls, it's disgusting.
"Then I leave it to you, Miss Tian Tian."
Seeing the two obediently shut up, he said to Shi Tiantian.
"Alright, dear human gentleman."
Shi Tiantian walked to an empty spot some distance away and plunged her arms into the soil.
After more than ten minutes, she withdrew her arms.
"You're in luck, dear human gentleman. This mountain isn't an air root, and there's almost no living creatures on it, so I don't have to intentionally drive them away."
Shi Tiantian said.
"That's wonderful."
He said happily.
No need to have the Stone Spirit Clan reshape the peak means a big save.
"Wouldn't you want to give me a Medium Aken Gemstone?"
Shi Tiantian seemed a bit disappointed.
"Of course not. But giving for reshaping the peak is a transaction, I'd much more prefer to give it to my dear Stone Spirit lady purely and cleanly."
Liu Zheng instinctively replied.
"Hehe, I knew the human gentleman was the best~"
Shi Tiantian happily ran over and gave him a big hug, accidentally breaking a few of his ribs in the process.
"Wow, Mr. Liu is really something else, huh?"
Lao Si, an expert in leg-pulling, was also shocked.
"Yeah, if I had Mr. Liu's skills, I wouldn't have had to chase my wife for years before she agreed."
Bai San also admired greatly.
"Is this guy always so smooth-talking?"
Panda poked at Niu Daji.
"What do you mean by smooth-talking, that's called sweet talk, illiterate. And I've told you many times, either call him boss or chief, disrespect him again and I'll fill your mouth with all the fodder I've got lodged in my stomach."
Niu Daji threatened.
Yaksha didn't join the discussion but had a thoughtful expression.
Only Doctor Nile remained unmoved, his scimitar eager to strike.
"Ahem, Miss Tian Tian, shall we get started?"
As if sensing the murderous aura, Liu Zheng coughed and said.
"Okay."
Shi Tiantian took several skulls from her body and threw them onto the ground.
"Hehehe~"
The skulls let out eerie laughter and then sank underground.
"Uh, Miss Tian Tian, are you alright?"
He cautiously asked.
Where the skulls were removed, milky white blood was flowing from Shi Tiantian's body.
"I'm fine, I actually find it quite comfortable."
Shi Tiantian said nonchalantly.
"...Alright."
He almost forgot, she's a trauma enthusiast.
"Found it, just dig down from here."
After another half hour, Shi Tiantian said.
