Chapter 993: Chapter 993
Speaking of which, Ba Tiao still had Yangzi bring him a piece of coal.
"Name: Edible Coal (One-time Use)"
"Effect: After use, decreases the player's fire resistance, increases the player's fire damage, and the effect is positively related to the player's digestive ability, while the duration is negatively related."
"Note: Chicken flavor, crunchy, you eat, you also ignite."
"Can it be taken out of the instance: Yes"
"Now I've truly become a self-destructing infantry."
Liu Zheng pulled the corners of his mouth.
His digestive ability was undoubtedly remarkable. The effect of using this coal would probably be terrifyingly strong, and the duration ridiculously short.
Plus, with a pipe storing six types of high-quality flames and the greatly enhanced fire abilities from "The Dango's Gratitude," Niu Ma would probably get roasted on the spot.
Of course, he himself would definitely be burnt to ashes.
Liu Zheng casually greeted and left the Hundred Ghosts, then took the grand sedan chair back to the city.
"You actually didn't scratch my car or throw it somewhere I couldn't find it."
Looking at the intact gold sports car, he was quite surprised.
"Only you short-lived species do such boring things." Check latest chapters at NoveI~Fire.net
The Sphinx shot him a disdainful look.
Who knows who was just venting anger by biting his head.
He was about to enter the clinic to check things out when 4399 called.
"We can arrange for someone to investigate, but it might alert the Mixed Blood Sect. If the Mixed Blood Sect thinks Bai Tianshi is with us, they might either take him out directly or keep him under tight surveillance."
"The higher-ups want me to leave the decision to you."
Liu Zheng thought for a moment and said.
Already unsure about Bai Tianshi's situation, turning it into a faction struggle would complicate things further.
He was here to help Bai San, not to cause more trouble.
"Alright, if you have any ideas, contact me."
4399 hung up the phone.
"Looks like the path with the Rejection Sect is a dead end."
He could only wait for news from Black Skull and Fei Shibu. If not, then ask the association president to step in.
Actually, there was one last plan, which was to have Bai San order takeout for Bai Tianshi.
As long as they could order takeout, they could ascertain Bai Tianshi's status and location, and Liu Zheng would have justifiable grounds to force his way into the hospital.
But if it came to that, it meant he'd have to confront the hospital head-on.
Thinking about going against an entity as formidable as the Bloody Restaurant made his scalp tingle.
"It's pretty thrilling."
A smile appeared at the corner of Liu Zheng's mouth.
If he couldn't blow up the Metropolis, blowing up a hospital before the instance ends would be nice too.
"Human, what evil schemes are you brewing this time?"
The Sphinx was a bit curious.
"Ando, how about we go blow up a hospital?"
He asked with a smile.
"Blow up a hospital? Why blow up a hospital? Did they take away Nile River's business?"
The Sphinx asked in confusion.
"No reason, just feel like blowing it up. Don't you ever get the urge to do something without a reason?"
"Humph, why should I tell you?"
"Even if there is, it certainly wouldn't be blowing up a hospital. If anything should be blown up, it'd be the Great Desert."
Now it was Liu Zheng's turn to be curious.
"The Great Desert in the Metropolis is too noisy, with all sorts of messy creatures that are infuriating to look at."
The Sphinx responded.
"Were you from the Great Desert?"
"None of your business, just say if you're in or not."
The Sphinx said impatiently.
"Boom boom boom, I'll accompany you to blow up the Great Desert, and you accompany me to blow up the hospital, deal?"
Liu Zheng coaxed like talking to a child.
"Humph, we'll see about that."
The Sphinx raised its head proudly.
He smiled, about to take the opportunity to ruffle the Sphinx's head, when Black Skull called.
"Bro, I asked around for you."
Upon connecting the call, Black Skull said.
"Nigga, what did you find out?"
Liu Zheng quickly asked.
"A friend of mine has a relative who works as an electrician at the hospital, and they said they could inquire, but it'd cost three hundred thousand upfront, and no guarantee of success."
"Three hundred thousand..."
He fell into thought.
The money wasn't much, the issue was whether the person is reliable.
Not obtaining information wasn't a big deal, it'd just be money down the drain, and Liu Zheng had spent a fair amount already.
But if the hospital personnel got alerted, and they dealt with or moved Bai Tianshi to a more secretive location, it'd be troublesome.
"I also think the price is a bit high, should I haggle a bit?"
Black Skull thought Liu Zheng found it pricey.
"No need, no need. I can accept this price. But Nigga, emphasize to your friend that it's fine if they can't find information, but the operation must be covert. Try to analyze and deduce through casual gossip and subtle clues, not by directly asking about Bai Tianshi."
"Bro, that's asking too much. The guy's just an electrician, not a detective. Besides, even the Security Department's criminal investigators might not meet your requirements."
Black Skull complained.
"Sigh, Nigga, you make a good point."
In fact, he couldn't do it himself, and was indeed being overly critical.
Liu Zheng suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
Oh right, he could hire a detective!
"Nigga, I'll send the money first, but have them hold off on taking action until I give the green light."
