After leaving Restaurant, Liu Zheng went straight to the street French Plane Tree.
Growth Ring Pact is an unstable bomb, it's better to finish it as soon as possible.
"Have you got the stuff?"
As soon as he saw him, French Plane Tree couldn't wait to ask.
"Got it."
Liu Zheng nodded and took out Epoch Acorn.
French Plane Tree grabbed it and stuffed it into his mouth.
A vast ancient aura immediately appeared, spreading around with it as the center.
Liu Zheng seemed to see an oak tree almost as high as the sky and as big as the mountains standing in the endless sea of trees, and beneath it were countless elves praying devoutly.
But soon, this illusion disappeared.
He looked at French Plane Tree, who looked a little constipated.
"Evolution failed?"
"No, it's just that I didn't expect that evolution requires choices."
French Plane Tree replied.
"What choice? Tell me and I will help you with your advice."
"You, a human being, can help me with my advice."
French Plane Tree took the opportunity to scorn Liu Zheng, but still told him.
"I now have two evolution directions, one is to evolve into Tree Demon, the other is to evolve into Phoenix."
"What's the difference?"
"I don't know either. There are only very few memory inheritances in Epoch Acorn. Anyway, Tree Demon is probably a more advanced tree, with certain mobility, and it must be rooted in the land. And becoming Phoenix can completely break away from the land and gain true freedom."
French Plane Tree said.
"Then I must choose Phoenix."
Liu Zheng said without hesitation.
"Idiot human being. To become Phoenix, I have to first build a nest, then lay eggs, then hatch eggs, and finally break out of the shell. This process will last at least a month, during which I have almost no ability to protect myself. What is the difference between that and suicide?"
French Plane Tree said.
"But in your heart you long to become Phoenix, right?"
"How do you know?"
"Why would you struggle with such harsh conditions if you don't really want them? And you've mentioned birds several times. You should be envious of their ability to fly, right?"
Liu Zheng stared into its eyes and said.
"Who, who is envious?"
French Plane Tree's mouth is harder than its roots.
"If you're worried about safety, I have an idea. Do you want to hear it?"
"Hmph, you can say whatever you want, it's none of my business."
French Plane Tree turned away.
"Cow-Horse wants to smuggle out of Restaurant, but he just needs a helper. I can ask him to protect you until you break out of your shell, and then you help him smuggle. How about it?"
"It? It's a piece of trash selling fake wine. I can't trust it."
French Plane Tree shook his head directly.
"If you can't believe it, can't you believe me?"
"With your strength, if Cow-Horse breaks the contract, can you stop it?"
French Plane Tree scoffed.
"If you have Growth Ring Pact, why don't you ask Cow-Horse to sign one too."
Liu Zheng figured out a way.
"I can only sign one Growth Ring Pact now, and I have already signed it with you. If you want to increase the number, you must evolve to a higher level."
If you want to sign a contract, you must evolve first; if you want to evolve, you must sign a contract.
It's an endless loop.
"And, do you really dare to let me evolve into Phoenix?"
French Plane Tree said suddenly.
"What do you mean?"
"When I evolve into Phoenix, I will no longer be a tree. Growth Ring Pact will automatically become ineffective. When the time comes, the first thing I will do is eat you."
French Plane Tree said with a half-smile.
"That's it, then just pretend I didn't say it and you should evolve into a tree."
Liu Zheng shrugged.
"Huh, I know humans are unreliable. Get out of here now, I'll get annoyed when I see you."
French Plane Tree is driving people away.
"Then think about it yourself."
He left Tequila and SB Calcium Milk behind and walked in the direction of "Red Witch" Board-Game Hall.
Behind him, French Plane Tree looked towards the sky.
"Being able to fly is not necessarily a good thing."
It whispered, its gaze seemed to reach beyond the atmosphere.
--
Liu Zheng came to the door of "Red Witch" Board-Game Hall.
This is a four-story Gothic style building with a huge bronze statue on the spire of the roof.
It was a Witch riding a broom, wearing a wizard's hat and an overly large cloak.
The top of the tower was facing her buttocks.
Hiss, it hurts to look at it.
"Crack!"
A bolt of lightning fell from the sky and struck Liu Zheng impartially.
The aroma of barbecue filled the surroundings, and wisps of black smoke drifted from his body.
Liu Zheng didn't react at all and was already paralyzed all over.
It took several minutes for him to recover from the paralysis after the new flesh and blood pushed away his burnt shell.
"I didn't swear anything, why did I get struck by lightning?"
He was very confused.
Liu Zheng raised his head and saw Witch's eyes changed from looking straight ahead to looking at him sideways.
Yes, he knows the reason.
This statue has Mind Reading, how petty is it?
"I'm sorry, I'm mentally ill and offended Mr. Witch. You have a lot of them, please let me go."
Liu Zheng Put your hands together and speak sincerely.
The statue remained unmoved.
"How about you hit me a few more times to vent your anger?"
he suggested.
As soon as he finished speaking, three lightning bolts fell simultaneously.
This time he was completely burned.
After a long while, Liu Zheng, who had turned into a dwarf, climbed out of the ashes.
"Cough cough cough."
He coughed violently and choked on the flying ashes.
"Hehehe."
Liu Zheng seemed to hear happy laughter.
He looked at the statue again, Witch was already looking forward.
"Huh."
He breathed a sigh of relief.
Before I even entered the store, I was slapped by the signboard. What's going on?
Liu Zheng is a little speechless.
But this also reminded him not to talk nonsense when he sees statues in the future, who knows whether they are alive or not.
He first ate a handful of dried fish to return to normal shape, and then walked into the store.
Entering Board-Game Hall, there is a lobby on the first floor.
There are some sofas, chairs, and tables placed inside.
There are many cabinets around, filled with various boxes containing scripts, games, and board games.
All the furniture is in retro style and looks valuable.
Liu Zheng even suspected that these were real antiques.
"Welcome to 'Red Witch' Board-Game Hall, what kind of activities do you want to play?"
The receptionist, who was wearing a pure black maid uniform, asked with a smile.
Her skin was so pale that it was almost transparent, and her red blood vessels were faintly visible.
This is strange because normally what can be seen through the skin are veins.
The color of veins is purple or blue.
But Liu Zheng didn't pay that much attention. Maybe it was Vampire who had just finished sucking blood?
In this world, the least strange thing is strangeness itself.
"Hello, I am Deliveryman from Bloodstained Restaurant, here to deliver food."
He introduced himself.
"Okay, can you tell me the name of the person who ordered the meal?"
asked the front desk.
"Sea Woman."
"It turns out it was ordered by Sea Woman. She's carrying the copy now, so she probably won't be able to get it. Why don't you wait a moment, or I'll hand it over to her."
The front desk said.
"How long does it take for her to finish carrying this book?"
Liu Zheng asked.
He has also played a lot of board games, and he knows that bringing a notebook means being a script-killing host.
"This is an emotional book. It's relatively small. It should last about an hour."
The front desk checked it and said.
"Okay, let me wait for a while."
Liu Zheng nodded.
"Okay. Which project do you want to play during this period?"
asked the front desk.
"Uh, thank you, I don't really want to play."
"Sorry, you can't stay in this museum unless you play board games."
The front desk said with a smile.
"Then I can go out and wait, okay?"
Liu Zheng said and stood up.
"Sorry, you can't leave the hotel without playing board games."
The receptionist smiled brighter, revealing two sharp fangs.
