"You humans, always so weighed down by heavy thoughts, so many thoughts it's hard to bear."
The Big White Goose said earnestly.
"You're right, big brother. I'm overthinking things."
Liu Zheng agreed verbally but silently grumbled in his heart.
The Big White Goose not only had heavier thoughts than him, but its intestines were shorter (a goose's intestines average about 3 meters, while a human's average seven meters), so if anyone was going to break from the strain, it'd be the goose first.
"Here, the British Minister asked me to give you this little trinket."
The Big White Goose pulled out a bottle of liquid from under its wing.
"Looks a bit disgusting."
Liu Zheng took the bottle, the liquid inside was murky and viscous, with many suspicious solids floating about.
"Of course it's disgusting, it's stomach acid."
The Big White Goose said.
"Gross~ What's it used for?"
He asked.
"It's specifically for dissolving metals; steel meets this stuff like plastic meets a fireball."
