"Ha... Achoo!"
Phoenix Mountain rubbed his nose, wiped away the snot from the sneeze, opened his sleepy eyes, and pushed away the long-haired white cat lying on his chest with its butt facing his face.
"Ahhh~~"
Sitting up and yawning, Phoenix Mountain muttered to himself, "What’s wrong with this cat? The cats I raised before also liked to face their butts toward people..."
He rubbed his temples and patted his face, trying to wake himself up a bit.
"Still have to explore today, better hurry up... Huh? Why do I have so many private ssages?"
Opening the private chat interface, over twenty strangers he had never seen before were sending him ssages, mostly repeating the sa sentence: Are you awake?
In just a few seconds, the number of private ssages kept increasing, leaving Phoenix Mountain even more puzzled.
"Didn’t I turn on the stranger restriction?"
A glance at the system prompts, oh boy!
"What is wrong with these people? I listed an iron ingot at two iron ingots in the trading hall, and they actually bought it?"
What kind of operation is this?
Too many fools, not enough scamrs?
Are they here to knock off my feet?
"Sothing’s wrong, it’s not my fault if they bought the wrong thing, I’m not giving refunds anyway," Phoenix Mountain muttered, casually adding these people to his blocklist, not paying much attention.
The number of iron ingots bought was not large; it was the leftover material from yesterday’s trade with Luo Aiman that he put in the trading hall, separated to avoid mixing up the numbers.
He originally intended to find a chance to annoy Li Zheng later, but it was all bought out today.
"Strange things happen every year, especially this year." Phoenix Mountain got up from the ground, brushed off the white hair on his body, stretched, and prepared to leave.
Just then, his system interface began to flood with screen notifications, all @ntions.
"What the... Again?" Phoenix Mountain’s eyes widened, now he was getting PTSD from seeing screen floods, his heart fluttering at the sight.
"It’s never-ending, is it?!"
Phoenix Mountain, furious, opened the regional channel, ready to post a ssage cursing people, but found the group @ntioning him were lined up, sending identical ssages.
"@Phoenix Mountain, big boss! Newbie begging for a pocket watch!"
"..."
All were asking for pocket watches, Phoenix Mountain didn’t rush to reply; after lurking a while, he figured out what was going on.
"That Li guy, I just took a nap, and he’s already retaliated!" Phoenix Mountain was so angry he gritted his teeth.
[There’s a trade in the trading hall specifying you.]
[There’s a trade in the trading hall specifying you...]
...
Three consecutive trade notifications specifying him, Phoenix Mountain turned to open the trading hall, imdiately noticing several items sent by Yan Guang.
[Bull Whip]
[Bull Treasure] ×2
Seller’s ssage: Mountain Treasure, specially reserved for you, for so nourishnt.
This ti Phoenix Mountain was utterly dumbfounded, opened the regional chat and started cursing.
Phoenix Mountain: "@Yan Guang, are you sick? Who the hell needs to eat that stuff? Take it back to wherever you got it from! I don’t want it!"
Yan Guang’s reply was mixed among a slew of purchase requests: "Can’t send it back, this stuff was given away for free by Li Zheng, I specifically asked for a set to nourish you, stop being ungrateful!"
"Damn! It’s Li Zheng again!"
Seeing the na, Phoenix Mountain was so furious he could bite soone.
Opened the private chat, removed Li Zheng from the blocklist, and sent a ssage: "Are you sick in the head?"
...
Li Zheng finished drawing the lottery, with the scenery changing before him, appearing again in the grassland room.
Before he could take in the view, Phoenix Mountain’s private ssage popped up.
"Oh, the kid actually woke up. He’s timing it to coincide with the Fla Flower!" Li Zheng opened the private ssage, almost questioning his life.
Where did I provoke him this ti?
This isn’t right!
I haven’t even dealt with the morning screen flood that annoyed , and you dare to curse?
Really think you can just walk all over ?
Li Zheng: "If you’re ill, seek treatnt, Xiao Siyuan is a doctor, I suggest letting him perform a craniotomy to sort out your brain."
Quick coback, needed to vent so anger anyway!
Li Zheng held a dried salted fish in his hand, angry beyond asure.
You say you’re a lucky European, but why is the luck from you so skewed?
[Pasi ow’s Salted Fish, Gold Level, Weapon/Firearm]
Description: It looks like a salted fish, but it is actually a perfectly disguised firearm weapon.
Personally modified by Pasi ow, very salty, very hard, and very sturdy.
Pasi ow and Icarus are known as the two peculiar figures in the assassin world.
It excels at disguising and infiltrating, killing enemies from close range.
It has a younger brother, Spa ow.
This salted fish once contributed to a legendary feat by Pasi ow.
Old Pu’s review: What bad intentions can a little kitty have?
It just likes small dried fish, that’s all.]
"Gold Level Broken Salted Fish..." Li Zheng paused, and another salted fish appeared in his hand. The last one was a carp; this ti it turned into seafood—belt fish.
"Damn, two at once!"
[Spa ow’s Belt Fish, Gold Level, Weapon/Firearm
Description: Spa ow greatly admires its brother, and after studying Pasi ow’s Salted Fish Spear, it modded this Daiyu Spear for sniping.
Old Pu’s review: Sotis even little kitties can have mischievous thoughts too.
Those who snipe with silencers are all old coins!]
Phoenix Mountain: "Ugh! Shaless old crook, gifting a set of bullwhips to a female player while barking madly here, never have I seen such a brazen person!"
"Soga!"
Li Zheng got it; Phoenix Mountain was scared by Yan Guang.
But what does that have to do with ?
I’m just giving out so things that might be useful to others, to prevent wasting good stuff, am I not correct for being frugal?
But instead, you, Mr. Phoenix, not only got up early to post vile trade information, but now you dare to involve your anger with ?
Hah!
Naive!
Too naive!
Li Zheng sneered as he tossed out the capsule ho, went inside to take a photo of the maturing Fla Flower, and sent it with a ssage.
"[Fla Flower] Don’t want it anymore?"
In no ti, a new ssage from Phoenix Mountain arrived: "Bro, I’m just afraid you’d be bored, trying to entertain you a bit! Be magnanimous, just treat like a fart and let it go, okay?"
"Heh heh."
Li Zheng only sent these two brief words, but it frightened Phoenix Mountain, fearing that Li Zheng might block him, quickly pleading: "Bro, dearest bro, little brother sincerely knows his mistake!"
As usual, Phoenix Mountain’s speed at surrendering was top-notch, imdiately acknowledging Li Zheng as his big bro, as if he wasn’t the one being arrogant and cursing just monts ago.
What do you call this?
This is called bravely admitting one’s wrongdoing, stubbornly unrepentant, daring again next ti!
Actually, Li Zheng roughly guessed why Phoenix Mountain was sickening him early in the morning.
Probably because yesterday he slackened off, at the ti just had others trade the materials to him, and the notification drove him insane.
But you can’t bla for that either.
The batch of materials was too large; passing them through would’ve been so troubleso!
Trading directly to Phoenix Mountain wasn’t more convenient!
"However, fundantally speaking, whether it’s the pocket watch making plan or today’s two salted fish, the ultimate beneficiary is myself..." Li Zheng felt a bit guilty thinking it over.
Phoenix Mountain received such a large quantity of materials without pocketing anything, worked diligently overnight to produce the items.
Isn’t it just a morning of slight revenge, venting a bit?
It doesn’t sting or itch; letting him have so fun, why not?
Thinking over, Li Zheng decided to help Phoenix Mountain, as repaynt for crafting the pocket watch and hastening his blood material collection favor.
"Don’t you just want to level up your Fire Gene Ability to full level?
In fact, these two Fla Flowers of mine are but a drop in the bucket for you now.
So let point you to a bright road."
Looking at the three nearing maturity Fla Flowers (he could only give two to Phoenix Mountain, agreed upon during previous trade.), wisdom shone in Li Zheng’s eyes.
"Those players craving pocket watches, let them trade in with Fire Elent developnt tools."
"Fire Elent developnt tools for exchange? Right! Why didn’t I think of that?" Phoenix Mountain slapped his leg, silently cursing himself for being groggy with sleep, missing such a good opportunity.
"Phew, luckily I was ruthless enough to use up two trade opportunities buying up all Valok’s Eyes, otherwise materials would be insufficient!"
Without replying further to Li Zheng’s ssage, Phoenix Mountain eagerly rushed to the area hall to set trade terms.
Li Zheng peeked at the screen for a mont, seeing everything going smoothly, he let the matter drop.
[Behind this door are so materials, so equipnt.
Old Pu knows what you’re looking for, so highly advises you to choose this spot.]
"Heh, if I hadn’t checked the scant value of items behind other doors, I’d almost believe it."
Li Zheng’s lips curved downwards, swiping a card to open the door.
Day five, room five.
This is a secure material room, the very center holding a computer familiar to Li Zheng.
