Chapter 988: Chapter 988
Liu Zheng opened up to eat, filling himself up to ninety percent full, then after stuffing himself with fruits and desserts, he finally stopped.
He put down his plate and burped contentedly.
Liu Zheng discovered another advantage of the Black Mountain Goat Cub lineage, which is that no matter how much he eats, he'll never feel greasy—this must be the innate holy body with a large stomach.
"Zheng Chan, are you full?"
"I'm full, but I feel like I could eat more after digesting a bit."
He rubbed his belly as he spoke.
"Then let's get a massage to help with digestion."
"It's a proper massage, right?"
Liu Zheng asked warily.
No way he'd want to fall asleep and be taken advantage of while getting it.
"Don't worry, I wouldn't let anyone else have the chance either."
Jinzi winked playfully.
"The more you say that, the less assured I feel."
Liu Zheng squinted at her.
Despite his words, he followed Jinzi to the massage room.
Half an hour later, Liu Zheng came out of the massage room feeling refreshed.
He glanced at his character panel, his skills were still intact, all good.
He politely declined Jinzi's invitation to eat again and left the Jidao Public Bath.
"Doctor, how's the treatment going? Is there anything I can help with?"
Having nothing else to do, he gave Doctor Nile a call.
"No need, people from the Bai Family came to help." Chapters first released on novel·fire.net
"Huh? Was Bai San the one who called them?"
Liu Zheng asked in surprise.
"Yes. Three of them came, their medical skills are excellent, and they brought a lot of good medicine. Now, I'm in charge of exorcizing while they're treating the injuries, improving efficiency greatly."
"How long will it take for them to recover?"
"The Panda will be the fastest, probably able to work in another hour."
The Panda's voice came from the side.
"So lively, it seems like it's almost recovered. What about Da Ji?"
"It's turned back into a cow."
A row of question marks appeared above his head.
"It seems digesting the grass stimulated it, entering an ancestral revertion and self-protection state."
"Will it return as a Minotaur once it recovers?"
Liu Zheng asked with concern.
"That I don't know. If it doesn't revert, even better, it can become a subordinate god to my lord."
Doctor Nile's tone was quite expectant.
One of Sun God Ra's seven animal forms is a cow.
"You might as well find my boss for that."
Both cow and horse, fulfilling both forms at once, and strong enough to fit the role.
"I asked, but it was unwilling."
Doctor Nile shrugged.
"Da Ji wouldn't be willing either."
Liu Zheng declined on behalf of Niu Daji.
But he didn't shut the possibility down completely. If he couldn't arrange anything better for Niu Daji before leaving Metropolis, making it a subordinate god for Sun God Ra wouldn't be a bad idea.
"Let's discuss it later. Alright, back to work for me."
Doctor Nile ended the call.
He said it casually, his real intention still French Plane Tree.
Among Sun God Ra's subordinate gods, the Winged Divine Dragon's significance far outweighs the other six.
The Winged Divine Dragon alone accounts for half of the combat strength of the seven subordinate gods.
Liu Zheng was lost in thought with his phone in hand.
On this journey to the Ten Thousand Great Mountains, Bai San was instrumental, and now he's called the Bai Family for assistance; this favor must be returned.
However, he truly didn't know anyone from the hospital or health department, seems like he'll need the Rejection Sect's help to network.
Should he call 8848 or 4399?
After pondering, Liu Zheng decided to call 4399.
It was 8848 who gave him the business card, but with 4399's number on it, which said a lot.
4399's tone held a trace of helplessness.
"It's , Brother 4399. I have a friend whose son is a deputy chief doctor in a hospital, but recently he lost contact. My friend contacted the hospital, but didn't get a clear answer, and asked for my help to find out."
"Hospital... that's a bit complicated. We don't have many connections there, but the Mixed Blood Sect exerts significant influence."
4399 hesitated before speaking.
The Mixed Blood Sect was keen on breeding a perfect "new human" race, naturally needing support from the hospital.
"What about the health department?"
"I'll report it to the higher-ups, but don't get your hopes up."
"Alright, thank you Brother 4399."
He hung up the phone, his brows furrowed.
This is the first time 4399 told him not to get his hopes up, it seems the path through the Rejection Sect might not work.
The remaining useful connections can only be Silver Wolf, Black Skull, Ace, Novelist, Fei Shibu, and The Fool.
Thinking about it, that's quite a few people, might as well try them all one by one, it's not like I'm busy anyway.
"Brother in law, do you know anyone in the Ministry of Health?"
Liu Zheng first called Silver Wolf.
Silver Wolf's reply was brief.
"Okay, I'll think of something else."
He hung up very decisively.
"Nigga, do you know anyone in the Ministry of Health?"
Liu Zheng then called Black Skull.
Black Skull asked in return.
"Great, here's the thing..."
He told him about Bai Tianshi's situation.
"Nigga, you're a dad too, right? Parents are pitiful all over the world, if you can help, please do, I promise I won't let your effort go to waste."
Liu Zheng played the emotional card and a card of interest together.
"Saying that, how could I not help when you ask me? I'll ask around, but don't get your hopes up too much. Although I'm on good terms with him, he isn't even a deputy leader, his capacity is limited."
Black Skull cautioned him.
"No worries, having a lead is already good."
"Alright, I'll call him now."
Black Skull hung up the phone.
"Ace, do you know anyone in the Ministry of Health?"
Liu Zheng then called Ace.
"No. And don't ask me to find out from family, I don't want to be dragged into another matchmaking session."
Ace blocked the topic directly.
"Alright. Oh, and I left that car in the Ten Thousand Great Mountains, it shouldn't be an issue, right?"
He remembered and mentioned.
"The car's not a problem, just remember to take the license plate, or I will deregister it for you. Otherwise, if someone uses it for something bad, it'll be a lot of trouble."
"Just deregister it for me."
He didn't have the manpower to find the license plate in the mountains now, and when he needed it again, he would just pay to get a new one.
Ace hung up the phone.
"Senior, Fei Shibu is out, I'll have her call you back."
Once the call connected, the Novelist said.
"No, I'm looking for you. Do you know anyone in the Ministry of Health?"
"I don't, but I can ask around."
The Novelist said enthusiastically.
"Never mind, I'll find another way."
The Novelist's network can't compete with the Rejection Sect, rather than having her run around, it's better to wait for news from 4399.
"Sorry, senior, I couldn't help."
The Novelist said apologetically.
"It's okay, your willingness to help is already the biggest help for me."
Liu Zheng said gently.
Getting help from others required terms or carefully worded requests, but with the Novelist, he could be straightforward, without worrying if she truly couldn't help or was just avoiding it.
In this Metropolis, whether people can be trusted is always in question, so having a friend like her is a great comfort.
"Mm! I'll ask Fei Shibu when she comes back, she knows more people than I do."
The Novelist said sweetly.
With the Novelist asking Fei Shibu, the next person to contact is The Fool.
"The delivery guy has time for afternoon tea with me already?"
Once the call connected, The Fool teased.
"I can join you for a cloud drink."
"Cloud drink? What does that mean?"
The Fool asked curiously.
"It means having afternoon tea together over phone or video call from afar."
"I see, but why is it called cloud drinking?"
"Probably because the signal is transmitted through the air."
Liu Zheng forced an explanation.
"Is that so? I feel there should be a better explanation."
The Fool wasn't quite convinced.
"Ahem, I'll leave the term-explaining to a Scholar. The Fool, has that coffin been opened?"
