"Greed is even simpler."
Xiao Siyuan slowly said, "When the desire for greed reaches its peak, I’m afraid they can’t bear to see others having even a bit of good stuff, and then they can’t suppress the urge to rob others."
"So here’s the question, if soone robs Old Li, will he die?"
Xiao Siyuan used Li Zheng as an example because everyone in the entire Matrix knew that Li Zheng had the most good stuff, and those infected with greed were most envious of him.
"Absolutely dead!"
Almost everyone answered in unison.
He Huan pondered, "So, the arrogance and greed infectees are indeed the easiest to die."
"Not necessarily." He Ku shook his head, "We can only say that these two types of infectees are known when they die, while the others might die alone, silently."
He Huan stared straightforwardly at Wei Hai, which made Wei Hai feel uneasy. The faint feeling of laziness he had just felt was directly dispelled, and he shivered.
"What do you want to do?" He asked vigilantly.
"Nothing."
"It’s just that we will watch over you from now on."
"Make sure you eat on ti!"
"And drink water."
The two brothers said one sentence each, and lastly said in unison, "Don’t play tricks!"
"..."
Wei Hai was speechless, and after a silent two seconds, he weakly said, "Didn’t the big shot just say that there’s a chance to cure such negative emotions before they completely burst?"
The "Seven Deadly Sins Curse" developed from ancient technology only seed bizarre. Li Zheng, being the one most knowledgeable about it among the current Players, knew that beings like doctors and Luo Aiman had ans to suppress or even completely eradicate it.
"Indeed, but those beings are hard to find. Whether you can survive after infection is left to fate." Li Zheng spoke, taking the bracelet off his wrist and handing it to Wei Hai, "Try this on, and see if it has any effect."
"This is..." Wei Hai took the bracelet and put it on his wrist.
"This bracelet is called the Emotion Balance Bracelet, which has a suppression effect on intense emotional fluctuations." Li Zheng looked at him, "How do you feel after putting it on, any special sensation?"
"Special sensation?" Wei Hai closed his eyes to carefully feel it for a mont, and when he opened his eyes, they were filled with weariness and laziness.
"Ha~~"
He let out a long yawn, took off the bracelet, and returned it to Li Zheng, tiredly saying, "No feeling... even... more... sleepy..."
His voice grew weaker until he simply fell asleep.
"This guy..."
The captain wanted to wake up Wei Hai, but Li Zheng stopped him, "Let him sleep. Suppressing the negative emotions for so long has been a massive spiritual consumption for him; sleep will help him recover."
Li Zheng didn’t ntion that Wei Hai’s resistance against the sloth emotion could also train his spiritual power.
If he could consistently practice, he might even outpace Li Zheng in spiritual power growth speed.
However, Li Zheng was unsure whether sloth, like wrath, would cause negative emotions to grow along with spiritual power each ti it’s triggered and resisted to the limit?
If that were the case, without other auxiliary tools, reckless practice would only accelerate his deep sleep process, causing more harm than benefit.
Reattaching the bracelet, Li Zheng received a private ssage from Liu Qi Shao.
Li Zheng pointed to Zhao Limin, "Let’s operate on him first, and after he’s done, Wei Hai should recover sowhat."
After saying this, he walked aside to check the private ssage Liu Qi Shao sent:
"I’ve already talked with Misaka Tsuchiemon, this guy is basically trustworthy. I’ll send you an agreent, have him sign it, and after that, you don’t have to mind what he does. Just provide him with what he asks for, as much as possible."
At the sa ti, Liu Qi Shao sent over an agreent with at least a hundred items in it, just glancing at it made Li Zheng lose patience.
In short, this was an agreent compiled by Players from Kunlun who excel at such "study," aid at controlling Misaka Tsuchiemon to the fullest extent, leaving no loopholes.
After the agreent was signed, Misaka Tsuchiemon sent a private ssage: "Now do you believe ?"
With the agreent as backing, Li Zheng could indeed trust him.
It was truly unexpected, that Nihong Country produced such an oddity, betraying the country as easily as urinating by the roadside, casually, and lightly.
Li Zheng asked him, "What do you plan to do now?"
"You don’t need to worry about this; in the future, we have to pretend to be unfamiliar in public, make sure no one sees through it." Misaka Tsuchiemon replied: "First, give a hundred cultivation dishes, I plan to use these as bargaining chips to win over the scattered folk experts in Mud Furnace Country."
Producing a hundred cultivation dishes required a ti cost of three thousand seconds, which was nearly an hour.
"I don’t have ti now, I’ll give it to you by tomorrow morning."
"No problem, no rush."
Their brief exchange ended, and Li Zheng closed the private ssage interface and turned back to those Kunlun people, "I have sothing to do, so I’ll leave first; Xu will be responsible for the transactions till the end."
The leading captain said, "You go ahead, after the three surgeries are done, we’ll return and surely won’t bother Dr. Xu here."
This person beca very perceptive after being alerted by Li Zheng, almost instantly grasping the hidden aning in his words.
"Hmm." Li Zheng nodded, approached Lin Fengjiao, and took out several tubes of potion, handing them over, "Once Xu cos out, give these to him and tell him that these potions are to be kept for ourselves."
These were the APX-1, also known as the Perfect Elixir, that he previously intended to auction off, but Li Zheng had changed his mind and kept them.
Although the elixir had many criticism points, its most valuable aspect was clearly the healing effect on the internal organs.
It was even better than nanorobots of the sa tier, with extrely high cost-effectiveness.
"Alright, I will hand them over to him." Lin Fengjiao nodded, showing so reluctance in her eyes.
It was rare to have a mont with Li Zheng, and yet he was in such a hurry to leave.
Until now, she hadn’t had a chance to have a few words with him alone...
Checking the ti, Li Zheng estimated that Phoenix Mountain wouldn’t finish handling his injury so quickly, giving him enough ti to explore a few more rooms on his way back.
"I’m off."
Waving his hand, Li Zheng called back Sakura and vanished from the spot.
He Huan stepped closer and asked, "Captain, did you see what tool Li Zheng used?"
"No." The captain shook his head seriously.
"Not even using a tool for teleportation, truly deserving of the title of Li Zheng the great, I’m impressed!" He Ku drooped his face, "I lost again..."
"The mission to bathe Wei Hai tomorrow is also yours!" He Huan burst out laughing.
The captain scolded with a dark expression, "If you keep betting on these things, I’ll give you offenders!"
"Oh..." Both He Huan and He Ku quieted down.
But secretly, He Huan asked He Ku, "Let’s bet, will the squad leader actually punish us?"
He Ku replied, "I bet he won’t."
...
Returning to channel 995, without pausing, Li Zheng directly took out the Mysterious Declaration and began additional exploration.
①: Initially, that na got harmonized, so it was changed to "Perfect Elixir."
②: A setting error was made in previous Chapters, the ten extra explorations granted by the Mysterious Declaration were supposed to be used only at night, but mistakenly it was written as if nine were used before the auction; it has been corrected to consu six normal exploration attempts for the day. So the Mysterious Declaration still has ten uses.
