"Let’s stop the chitchat and talk about sothing serious."
Li Zheng didn’t want to hear more of Phoenix Mountain’s past about his incredible luck, so he decisively changed the topic, pointing at the Malice Detection Pocket Watch and asked, "Is this thing made from a one-ti blueprint or a learning type blueprint?"
"A learning type blueprint, but the materials are very hard to find." Phoenix Mountain sensed the hidden aning, and straightforwardly said, "There’s a Silver Level material called ’Valok’s Eye.’ Over the past few days, I’ve only managed to get one, and that was after exchanging quite a bit of resources in the trading hall."
"Valok’s Eye?"
Li Zheng rembered the na and asked, "When you bought it, did you ask the seller how they got this material?"
"I asked. He said he found it in a room during exploration where materials are stored, just with things like Iron Ingots."
Phoenix Mountain thought for a mont and added, "But it’s possible he was lying to ."
"Lying to you?"
"Yeah."
Phoenix Mountain explained, "Because the seller was nad William Houston. I heard he had a grudge against you, and later even resented people from our country. When I consulted him, he likely lied to mislead .
Moreover, after that, he blocked . I couldn’t get in touch even if I wanted to ask more questions."
This was one of the reasons Phoenix Mountain joined in when William was being flad in the world channel yesterday.
"William?"
Li Zheng frowned; why is it him again?
Just because of that small water purifier I sold?
This guy holds a grudge too much, doesn’t he?
Besides, didn’t he make a profit when he resold the water purifier?
Holding a grudge for this long, even at a national level?
But the world is vast and varied, and there are all kinds of people.
So people seem normal, but their thought process is more bizarre than that of a lunatic, utterly unpredictable.
What’s that saying?
Reality is often more magical than fiction.
It’s like when Li Zheng was still on Earth, he read a book by an author with the pen na "Yue Luohong Ying," it was beyond description.
He recognized every character, but after reading the whole piece, Li Zheng could only sigh, "Is this dude for real?"
"With this, the plan to mass-produce Malice Detection Pocket Watches and improve the material collection efficiency for workers fell through."
Li Zheng muttered to himself, if every player in the channel had a Pocket Watch, the efficiency of finding Genetic Potion materials would at least double.
Li Zheng riding the coattails would also improve significantly.
"What a pity."
With a sigh, Li Zheng felt it necessary to have a "chat" with that William, otherwise having soone frequently jump out to irk him... is quite annoying.
"Yeah, yeah, a pity." Phoenix Mountain chid in, not knowing what Li Zheng was really thinking; he just assud he was lanting not obtaining a Pocket Watch.
"Let’s go, let’s go. If we don’t leave now, we won’t finish today’s exploration opportunities."
Seeing it was past noon, and finding nothing much else to explore here, Li Zheng casually bid farewell to Phoenix Mountain, packed up his capsule residence, and prepared to leave.
Before leaving, he took a long cylinder-shaped item from his residence and handed it to Phoenix Mountain, saying, "I heard you say earlier that using Bursting Power sotis injures your limb bones. I happen to have a splint for bone setting here, with two uses left; consider it the deposit for this trade."
After all, he received a Silver Level Light Saber, right?
Couldn’t show no sincerity.
Moreover, from his previous encounter with Xiao Siyuan, Li Zheng felt that it’s good to forge a positive relationship when eting like-minded players.
"Ah? This... thank you."
Phoenix Mountain was caught off guard by Li Zheng’s sudden generosity. Normally arrogant and wild in battle, at this mont, he seed sowhat shy.
[There are so materials behind this door.]
[This door is empty, don’t waste your effort, just go to the other side.]
Li Zheng circled on the grassland, scanning every door except the one from which Phoenix Mountain ca.
In Phoenix Mountain’s eyes, this beca Li Zheng not knowing which way to go for a mont, hesitating.
To him, it was normal; before he had the Malice Detection Pocket Watch, he was the sa, hesitating for a long ti each ti he had to choose a door.
Lacking strength, he feared choosing a dangerous room.
With strength, he feared that the unchosen room had more resources than the one he chose.
Overall, it highlighted a mindset of "gains and losses."
Decisively turning back, Li Zheng swiped his card at the materials room door and walked in without looking back.
As for Phoenix Mountain?
There’s still an empty door left for him, isn’t there?
"Let’s see how lucky you get this ti!"
Entering the door, Li Zheng thought mischievously.
...
The light screen dissipated, and the room still retained its tallic style, with materials scattered all around; Li Zheng picked them up one by one and stored them in his capsule residence.
After collecting everything and about to leave, Prelis’ Eye suddenly flashed a prompt:
[There are still supplies in this room, are you sure you want to leave now?]
"Still supplies?"
Li Zheng turned back to check; the floor was clean, not even an Iron Ingot left, where could the supplies be?
[On the wall.]
The prompt continued to flash; Li Zheng followed the instruction and scanned the tal walls embedded with machines, finally arriving in front of an unfamiliar machine with indicator lights on.
[There are so cleverly concealed items inside this machine, but they still couldn’t escape the Detector Old Prel’s eyes!]
"Oh?"
Li Zheng smirked, feeling the familiar heft of the Iron Ingot in his hand, eager to try: "Then let’s smash it and see!"
[Be careful, it’s fragile.]
"Fragile?" Li Zheng’s eyes lit up, "Could it be a Power Core?"
With the reminder to be careful, Li Zheng held the Iron Ingot, gesturing in front of the machine as Prelis’ Eye continuously provided information.
[Hitting it here might damage the items inside.]
"Hmm, then let’s try another spot."
The Iron Ingot shifted a bit.
[Hitting here would be just right to avoid damage, don’t hesitate with this delicate flower, use force!]
With a "thump!"
The Iron Ingot struck boldly, the machine showed damage, and the Ingot penetrated its tal shell halfway in.
All four attributes had reached the Bronze Level threshold; Li Zheng’s strength did not compare to before.
Still rembering when he first entered The Matrix Survival Ga, Li Zheng had to spend considerable effort to smash up a machine to test whether it could be decomposed.
Now, he could penetrate the tal shell in one strike, even surprising himself with the strength he possessed now.
Before he knew it, he’d beco this strong.
Quietly retracting the Iron Ingot, he lifted it again.
"Yay yay."
Little Sakura saw Li Zheng working again and flew to the side, cheering him on.
"Thump!"
Another square hole appeared.
"Yay yay,"
cheering on, small fists clenched tightly.
Soon, under Little Sakura’s encouragent, Li Zheng successfully extracted the hidden item from behind the machine.
It wasn’t the Power Core he expected but a round, flat item.
Looking at it in his hand, Li Zheng exclaid, "Dragon Ball Radar?!"
[See, you shouldn’t watch so much ani; ntioning random portals, blue chubby cats, Dragon Ball Radar off the cuff.
Area D, otaku are tragic enthusiasts at heart.]
"..."
Li Zheng fell silent for three seconds, raised two fingers to his eyes and warned, "Don’t cause trouble for , or I’ll let you mourn with my two eyes!"
[Haven’t you forgotten that Detector Prel is just a piece of equipnt?]
"I haven’t; I just feel my eyes have been insulted after contact with you, so only self-gouging can prove my resolve!"
[Yay yay yay.]
"Yay your grandpa!"
Li Zheng cursed, ignoring the impulsively cute Prelis’ Eye, and checked the attribute of the Dragon Ball Radar.
[Dragon Ball (crossed out) Radar Map, Special Item, No Grade
Records partial room distribution information within the matrix, vanishes after three explorations.
Note: Do not attempt to decompose it; you’ll only gain a handful of air!
By the way, who is Android 18’s actual husband and why does she have many stories but none with her husband as the protagonist?]
Li Zheng: "..."
