Watching Zhan Zhouzhou enter the blacksmith shop, Li Zheng was speechless.
Xiao Siyuan before, Zhan Zhouzhou after, both reminding him that there might be an issue with his status.
Is it really just himself who can’t perceive it?
"Awakening from a dying ailnt, the useless one is actually ?" Li Zheng mocked himself.
Behind him, Xiao Siyuan teleported over with Lin Fengjiao, just in ti to hear this sentence, and laughed: "I won’t allow you to insult useless people."
Li Zheng turned around and tossed five bottles of Black Water at Old Xiao’s face, jokingly cursing: "You’re ranked 101 in combat power and still have the nerve to tease ."
Xiao Siyuan, propping up Lin Fengjiao, had the water bottles smack right onto his face.
He wasn’t upset, smiling as he collected them: "People always say three days apart makes one look at a person anew. We’ve only been apart for half a day, and you’ve already got an Extraordinary Level item.
Sotis I wonder, why is the gap between people so huge?"
Li Zheng touched his own face: "Maybe because my face is fairer than yours?"
Xiao Siyuan’s face turned black: "..."
Damn it, my face turned this black all thanks to you!
It’s no exaggeration to say that after consuming the Abyss Fruit, Xiao Siyuan now feels that if he couldn’t live any longer, even Oligo isn’t such an unacceptable thing.
Compared to the Abyss Fruit, Oligo’s taste is practically at a perfu level!
The more Old Xiao thought about it, the angrier he got, and the angrier he got, the blacker his face beca.
If he didn’t know he couldn’t beat Li Zheng, he would’ve taken out his gun and emptied a clip right there.
Worried about Old Xiao going berserk, Li Zheng quickly released the capsule residence, opening the door and saying: "Co on, let show you sothing really good!"
He granted entry permission to Xiao Siyuan and Lin Fengjiao, leading the way inside.
Xiao Siyuan helped Lin Fengjiao follow him: "Could it be that Yan Guang was right, and you’ve got sothing truly shocking and awe-inspiring... Holy cow~"
Before he could finish, he was stunned at the sight of the All-Purpose dical Bed, jaws dropping in disbelief.
"Are you the Matrix Terminal’s own son?!" Old Xiao went crazy: "Why, why do I look so handso and can’t even enter the top hundred in combat rankings, while you, who looks so average, have a Star Shining Level item?"
Li Zheng’s face darkened: "Talk is talk, play is play, but don’t joke about appearances. I’m way more handso than you, alright?"
Old Xiao sneered: "I’ve dated twelve girlfriends, how about you?"
"..." Li Zheng waved his hand: "I won’t talk about this topic with you. Why don’t you see if this thing can be useful?"
"Hmm."
Speaking of business, Old Xiao dropped his joking manner and approached with Lin Fengjiao, fiddling with the All-Purpose dical Bed for a while.
In the end, he regretfully shook his head: "No, I can’t operate this thing."
"Why?" Li Zheng was puzzled. When he had stored it away, he checked it and the All-Purpose dical Bed’s power was fully charged. How could it be inoperable?
Xiao Siyuan glanced at him: "This thing doesn’t belong to you, right?"
Li Zheng nodded: "Indeed, it doesn’t. And, to be honest, the teleportation item I used to gather you guys earlier, I only have short-term ownership of it."
Xiao Siyuan’s expression relaxed sowhat at this: "Then I feel much more balanced."
Li Zheng summoned the Sheathed Sword, displaying its basic attributes before saying: "I think you should remain unbalanced, because even if these two items expire, I’m still way ahead of you all."
At this stage, not to ntion Diamond Level weapons, even Platinum Level items aren’t sothing just anyone can afford to play with.
Even soone as strong as Zhan Zhouzhou only owns a few items, far behind Li Zheng.
Xiao Siyuan didn’t mind and smiled: "Initially, I was a bit worried, but now that I’ve seen this dical bed, I’m confident I can restore Xiao Lin’s eyesight today."
Li Zheng pondered for a mont: "Are you suggesting asking the blacksmith to craft a dical bed or a body modification platform?"
"That’s right. When you first ntioned encountering a blacksmith, I was worried they could only craft weapons and armor," Xiao Siyuan said. "Now that I’ve seen such an impressive dical bed, it saves the trouble of slowly finding a body modification platform later on."
Li Zheng was a bit surprised: "You’re not planning to get a powerful weapon to boost your combat strength first?"
Xiao Siyuan glanced at Lin Fengjiao, shaking his head: "No, my best skill is ultimately healing people. I’d rather specialize in that path, expanding the dical route."
At this point, Lin Fengjiao softly said: "Dr. Xiao, if you’re doing this just to heal , there’s no need to make such a sacrifice.
After all, ordinary rooms can also have body modification platforms. I can wait a few more days. It’s fine."
Li Zheng also advised: "Lin Fengjiao is right. I also think you should enhance your strength right now.
Even if you want to expand the dical route, you’ll have plenty of opportunities later. Wouldn’t it be better to upgrade to a higher-tier dical device by then?"
"I know what you’re worried about," Xiao Siyuan shook his head stubbornly, sticking to his view. "As long as I have that thing with , it’s impossible to encounter particularly dangerous rooms during exploration, so I don’t have a strong need for weapons and equipnt."
His implication was that, with the Prel’s Eye on hand, ten daily explorations almost never result in danger.
But Li Zheng didn’t share this view.
Because of Prelis’ Eye, he’s truly realized the hazards of the Matrix, never just co from those creatures and traps that have always been there.
So surprises and threats may suddenly appear when you least expect them, with no ti to dodge.
"But..."
Li Zheng tried to persuade further, but Xiao Siyuan had already released Lin Fengjiao, turning towards the exit of the residence: "No need to say more, I know what I’m doing."
When he reached the doorway, he suddenly stopped, turning to look at Lin Fengjiao: "And Xiao Lin, don’t feel pressured. I’m not choosing dical equipnt solely for you."
He stepped out of the residence: "After all, many people in the Matrix need body modification..."
Li Zheng watched Old Xiao’s figure disappear, his expression a bit complicated.
This man’s actions sotis seed ridiculously childish.
In the Matrix, which player isn’t trying their hardest to improve their strength, all to survive a bit longer?
So are even willing to strike against their own kind for this.
Only he would pass up a chance to enhance his strength, instead opting for a dical device with potentially less cost-effectiveness.
Because every player’s movents in the Matrix are restrained, even if many people wish to quickly enhance their strength through body modifications, reaching Xiao Siyuan isn’t that easy.
Li Zheng now felt a bit fortunate that Xiao Siyuan t him.
At the very least, with the Prel’s Eye provided by him, many dangers are already out of the way for Xiao Siyuan.
As for the hidden dangers among players, maybe he could help bear so of them?
With his current capabilities, assisting Old Xiao with so survival items during exploration isn’t that difficult.
For instance...
The blueprint that Li Zheng had been holding onto, he’s only crafted it once so far.
At this mont, Li Zheng suddenly received a private ssage from Xiao Siyuan.
"Umm... Although it’s a bit embarrassing, can you lend so materials? My stock is running low..."
Li Zheng rolled his eyes: "What level of dical tool does this guy intend to make anyway?"
