“Mr. Tree, I’m here with another delivery for you.”

Liu Zheng said with a cheerful smile as he approached the dark soil.

“How many times have I told you, don’t call me Mr. Tree. It sounds awful.”

The plane tree said disdainfully.

“Then, Boss Dai?”

He tried a different title.

“I’m just called Delago, not surname Dai and given name Lego!”

The plane tree, Delago, exclaimed in frustration.

“Alright, alright, then what’s your surname?”

Liu Zheng asked good-naturedly.

“My surname... why the hell do you care? Just say what you came for.”

Delago snapped angrily.

This guy—surely he knows his own surname?

He was a little suspicious.

Of course, he wouldn’t blatantly call him out on it.

“I brought you a bottle of this. See if you like it.”

Liu Zheng took out an essence extract from the red-eyed snake mackerel.

“Oh, it’s this stuff.”

Delago perked up.

“You know it?”

“Cleansing enema, who doesn’t know it? But I heard red-eyed snake mackerel is no longer supplied. Where did you get it?”

Delago asked.

“It was in the staff meal.”

Liu Zheng replied.

“Tsk tsk tsk, no wonder the restaurant is so rich and generous.”

Delago admired.

“You’re a local tycoon; do you really need something like this?”

Liu Zheng half-joked.

“The landlord’s family doesn’t have surplus either. Besides, whether I can get anything depends on luck. There’s no restaurant freedom here; if I want something, I have to buy it myself.”

“If I could buy drinks myself, I’d be the last person to do a loss-making deal with you.”

Delago sighed.

In these recent trades, it’s basically been a small loss each time. The time he swapped for the legendary deliveryman’s disguise was an even bigger loss.

If there was a better option, he wouldn’t be doing such foolish things.

“Is it really that bad? Then this bottle of cleansing enema is yours.”

Liu Zheng generously offered.

“Don’t try it on me. You humans are cunning, always expecting tenfold returns for every bit you give.”

Delago snorted.

“No wonder you’re a genius among trees with French noble blood. My little schemes can’t fool you at all.”

He applauded vigorously.

“Hmph, you have some eye for it. Yesterday I ate a bunch of black death birds; I really need to detox. So, what do you want to trade?”

Delago asked.

“I had a bit of a conflict with the security guard at Green Osmanthus Garden, Crazy City. Do you have something to deal with him?”

Liu Zheng inquired.

Last time he managed to bluff that guy; this time it might not be so easy.

“You have a disguise. What are you afraid of? If you can’t beat him, you can always run.”

Delago said oddly.

“The disguise expires right after delivery.”

He explained.

“Oh, that.”

Delago suddenly realized.

It had always hidden the disguise deep in its roots and hadn’t taken it out to admire it for a while, so it had almost forgotten.

“There is something, but that bottle of cleansing enema won’t be enough.”

Delago rolled its eyes.

“You said red-eyed snake mackerel is out of stock? Other cleansing enemas shouldn’t be as effective, right?”

Liu Zheng raised an eyebrow slightly.

“Damn it! Why does a human have such a good memory?”

Delago grumbled.

The premium on this stuff is quite subjective, so just now it wasn’t exactly lying that the cleansing enema isn’t worth much.

But Liu Zheng caught the loophole in its words, so Delago couldn’t deny it forcefully.

The roots dug through the soil and finally pulled out a pair of sneakers.

“Name: Fashion Skateboard Shoes (Single Use)”

“Type: Item”

“Quality: Excellent”

“Effect: Instant slide to 100 meters away upon use.”

“Notes: My skateboard shoes, stylish, stylish, most stylish.”

“Can it be taken out of the dungeon: Yes”

Two hundred meters should be enough to get out of the security guard’s attack range.

Liu Zheng nodded with satisfaction and put on the skateboard shoes.

To be honest, wearing shoes on hooves was a bit awkward.

He thought of those cats and dogs wearing shoes put on by their owners and empathized deeply.

“Let’s go.”

Liu Zheng waved his tentacle.

“Go, go, go.”

Delago said impatiently, then closed its eyes.

“Want me to chat with you a little longer?”

He couldn’t help teasing it.

“What’s there to chat about with a human like you?”

Delago squinted.

“Well, no other trees talk to you. By the way, staying alone here every day must be lonely, right?”

Liu Zheng actually felt a bit sympathetic.

“Heh, guess why other trees are all idiots?”

“Why?”

“Because I absorbed all their nutrients.”

Delago sneered coldly.

“Impressive, let’s go.”

Liu Zheng gave a thumbs up, then stared fixedly at it.

“What are you doing?”

Delago was baffled.

“Nothing, I just want to see what happens when a tree drinks a cleansing enema.”

He said with interest.

“Damn it! If you don’t leave now, it’ll be you who ends up with the mess!”

Delago became furious.

“You should drink more and see how your temper smells all pent up.”

Before Delago could explode, Liu Zheng fled hastily.

He awkwardly walked all the way to Green Osmanthus Garden, Crazy City. The security guard on duty was still the half-gray-haired one.

He wasn’t in the guard booth but was outside smoking and pacing.

Seeing Liu Zheng from afar, his face darkened and he hurried back into the booth.

Now Liu Zheng was not happy. He walked over and pounded hard on the window.

The security guard gave him a sidelong glance and ignored him.

“Hey!”

Liu Zheng swung his tentacle and started hitting the glass fiercely.

Not bad, this glass was really good quality; after a while of beating, there wasn’t a single crack.

“Are you crazy?”

The guard finally lost his patience and shouted.

“Why are you yelling so loud?”

Liu Zheng yelled back even louder.

“What do I care what you’re doing? Hurry up and deliver your damn takeout.”

The guard retorted, speechless.

“Not rushing the delivery, give me a cigarette first.”

“Fat chance.”

The guard refused without hesitation.

“So stingy, I’ll return the favor with a pack next time.”

Liu Zheng tried to persuade.

“Believe you? Yeah right. Get lost, get lost.”

The guard said impatiently.

“Seriously won’t give me one?”

“No.” This content belongs to novel•fire.net

“Fine then.”

Liu Zheng shrugged and swung his tentacle again.

This time, the rhythm was even more violent than before.

After drumming on the glass for ten minutes, the guard finally couldn’t take it and lit three cigarettes, handing them over backwards.

“Buy one get two free, so generous?”

Liu Zheng laughed.

“Feeling great, good for the road.”

The guard said with a smirk that was anything but sincere.

“Generous.”

Liu Zheng bit the cigarette tip, patted the guard’s shoulder, then walked into the community.

The guard stared at his back, eyes filled with both anger and surprise.

“By the way, might as well check 606 while the disguise is still active.”

Once inside the community, Liu Zheng suddenly had a bright idea.

That woman’s writing was decent, but her starting point and gimmick were lacking. If she followed his guidance and made changes, signing her would be no problem.

Although she didn’t seem very wealthy, every little bit counts.

Thinking this, Liu Zheng’s hooves instinctively turned toward Building 3A.

Arriving at room 606’s door, the security door had already been replaced with a new one.

He didn’t really understand these residents of this strange world; doors that could be dismantled by hand were useless for protection.

This was probably just for ceremonial show.

Liu Zheng shook his head and pressed the doorbell.

“Who is it?”

It was still that ambiguous voice.

“Me, the delivery guy from yesterday.”

He replied.

“Ah, coming, coming.”

After hurried footsteps, the door opened.

The young girl was only wrapped in a towel, her wet long hair hanging over curves it could barely cover.

“You really didn’t have to rush so much.”

Liu Zheng spoke, staring intently.
