Li Zheng stared at his attribute panel. After downing a Bronze Potion, the corresponding attribute instantly broke through to the Bronze Level.
When he finished all the potions he had made this ti, Li Zheng’s four-dinsional attributes all reached the Bronze limit.
Stretching his limbs, Li Zheng felt the sudden surge of power in him and murmured, "At least five tis stronger than the Black Iron 5 limit!"
This feeling was quite vague, as there were no specific values given in the attribute table, so Li Zheng could only make a rough estimate.
He had a gut feeling that if his Black Iron 5 self were hit by his current punch, even Xiao Siyuan wouldn’t be able to save him.
"This... might be a problem!"
Li Zheng suddenly realized that advancing so quickly was pulling him ahead of the other players in the channel.
In this way, no matter how hard the workers try, how much assistance could they really provide him?
"I can’t always rely on encountering Luo Aiman’s black market every ti for an upgrade, can I?"
Feeling a bit of a headache, Li Zheng just shook his head and stopped pondering it, "Forget it, take it one step at a ti. At worst, I’ll collect my own materials in the future, at least the workers can still provide with so Power Cores daily."
Opening the crafting page, while he was in the capsule residence, Li Zheng casually finished making the soilless cultivation dish.
"Thud."
The cultivation dish landed, and Li Zheng found that the one he made was different from the ones he had encountered before.
First, it was much smaller and was a cube, with transparent sides and a lid on top.
[Advanced Soilless Cultivation Dish
Description: No soil needed. Just add a little water to grow agricultural products.
If special items are added during the planting process, there is a chance to cultivate new varieties of crops.
Current status: Lacking moisture.
Current space: 0/1
Energy: 100%]
"Needs water?"
Li Zheng was amused, wasn’t this just perfect? The two small water purifiers could bring him a lot of Purified Water daily, and he was just worried about the slow exchange rate for pure water.
He found the 1.8L of Purified Water he got today and poured it all into the cultivation dish, but it didn’t even cover the bottom.
"Not enough, let’s take out the water I put in the trading hall this morning too."
Opening the trading hall, half of the 3L Purified Water he put in the morning was left. He canceled the transaction and poured it all into the cultivation dish.
"Heh, most people now understand what Purified Water is like; even at 200ml for 100ml of pure water, not many are willing to trade."
Li Zheng sighed, "Indeed, there are quite a few people pursuing a quality life."
Nearly 3L of water was poured into the cultivation dish, barely covering the bottom. Seeing the ’Lacking moisture’ entry disappear from the attributes, Li Zheng knew it was about right.
"A single cultivation dish can only grow one type of crop, let’s put the Fla Branch Seed in first."
He found the seed and casually tossed it in, "All done."
[Current space: 1/1]
He closed the lid, turned on the outside switch, and saw a bright light at the bottom of the lid, shining on the Fla Branch Seed.
Li Zheng suddenly understood, "Turns out the crop room was so bright last ti to provide light for the crops."
No wonder it was so glaring, like the sun.
[Genetically Modified Fla Branch: Fruitless Crop (further parts omitted)
Growth status: Normal
Growth speed: 100% (illumination)
Growth progress: 0%
Maturity ti: 23:59:49]
"It takes twenty-four hours for normal growth to mature, not too long, much faster than those crops on Earth that take a whole season to mature.
Should I say, it’s really a product of the ga?"
Li Zheng rolled his eyes and thought for a mont, recalling that he seed to still have so cultivation liquid left, then poured so in.
"The growth speed doubles, but the duration is only one hour... Does it an that after an hour, when the cultivation liquid is used up, it will return to the original growth speed?"
This ant that now there was only twenty-three hours left until the Fla Branch matured.
After a fair bit of research, noting the approximate maturity ti of the Fla Branch, Li Zheng put away the remaining cultivation liquid, not in a rush to pour it all in.
"Even if I poured it all in, I don’t have enough to last twelve hours, so I’d rather save it for higher-level crops in the future."
With Xiao Ying, he walked out of the capsule residence and then looked at the selected tal door.
[Behind the door is a Gold Level creature, with a relatively high threat level.]
"After improving physical attributes, the threat level has indeed decreased significantly."
Li Zheng thought to himself, the current threat level was probably equivalent to his Black Iron 2 self facing a Silver Level Desert Giant Wolf, which he could still manage to beat.
Swiped the card, and the door opened.
Xiao Ying perched on his shoulder as they entered together.
As the light barrier dissipated, the humid and muggy air rushed in, and Li Zheng looked around, all covered with trees and vines, with the surface of the trees coated with oil-green moss.
"Swamp?"
Li Zheng’s gaze swept across the ground, only seeing dead branches and leaves, "Or is it the Tropical Rainforest?"
[Stop looking, did you forget to bring Detector Lao Pu?
Lao Pu warmly reminds you, this is not a swamp!]
"..."
Li Zheng remained silent for a mont, looking around for the Gold Level creature.
[That poor little fellow, oh no, old fellow, has already noticed you.
Grand Entrance!]
The countdown numbers flashed through Prelis’ Eye, and at the end of Li Zheng’s line of sight, a brown-maned male lion with three heads erged.
"This is..."
Li Zheng saw its appearance clearly and was instantly shocked: "Three-headed Ghost Lion!"
[That’s right! Three-headed Ghost Lion!
Do you still rember what that little bitch from the illustrated guide used to say?
It’s a group-living creature!
But unfortunately, it has aged and has been driven out of the pride by its own son, wandering here.
Oh!
Good heavens!
Where did that little cutie who originally lived in the tropical rainforest go?]
Is there any need to ask?
It was swallowed by the Three-headed Ghost Lion.
Li Zheng’s eye twitched; the creatures in the Matrix were too ferocious, completely living by the law of the jungle, survival of the fittest.
The Three-headed Ghost Lion stopped, its three heads turned to look in Li Zheng’s direction, majestic and imposing.
Even as an aging lion, it still had a whole ten parts fighting spirit.
"I rember its weakness is..." Li Zheng subconsciously wanted to open the illustrated guide to confirm.
[The soft belly!
Damn it, you have , why do you keep wanting to open the illustrated guide!
By the way, here’s a hunting tip for you: slide under and make a cut in its belly!]
"..."
Li Zheng couldn’t hold back any longer, complaining: "Then I can feed it till it’s full?"
[Actually, no, your small physique would only half-satisfy it.]
Li Zheng no longer looked at Prelis’ Eye, shrugged his shoulders, and let Sakura fly into the air.
"Tweet tweet."
As soon as Sakura took off, the Three-headed Ghost Lion also moved, running as fast as the wind, like a streak of brown lightning charging directly at him!
"So fast!"
The Three-headed Ghost Lion was much stronger than the Desert Giant Wolf, with far greater speed, like a whirlwind.
The Desert Eagle was already in hand the mont he entered the room; at this mont, Li Zheng only had ti to fire one shot before dodging to the side, avoiding the sharp fangs of the Three-headed Ghost Lion.
"Whoosh!"
A faint gunshot sounded as the Snake Grass Needle was discharged from the barrel.
"Roar!"
The lion roared from all three mouths, unleashing a powerful sound wave that shattered the Snake Grass Needle, dissipating it into the wind.
"Moo!"
Startled, Li Zheng ran towards the depths of the rainforest without turning back, his Bronze physical attributes allowing him to move freely and flexibly within the forest.
Neither fallen trees nor hanging vines could impede him in the slightest.
The three-headed Ghost Lion pursued relentlessly from behind. Its Gold Level physique allowed it to ignore any obstacles in the rainforest, like a bulldozer, knocking down tree after tree, crashing forward with unstoppable force.
Three pairs of cold, piercing eyes locked onto Li Zheng’s back, the tangible murderous intent making even the immune to cold and heat Li Zheng feel a chill.
As the distance between them rapidly closed, Li Zheng aid his gun back while running, pulling the trigger.
"Ice and Fire Attachnt - Ice Elent!"
The Platinum Level ability activated, releasing nineteen ice-blue bullets that shot in a line at the Three-headed Ghost Lion.
The freezing cold air temperature solidified the dense moisture in the air into ice crystals, which fell to the ground.
This ti, confronted by a Platinum Level genetic ability, the Three-headed Ghost Lion did not dare to underestimate, slowing down to dodge the bullets before resuming the chase.
"No, this guy is unimaginably fast!"
Seeing his best weapon was ineffective, Li Zheng stopped wasting Snake Grass Needles, stored them away, and swapped out with a tal short stick.
The other hand gently gripped a small object that slid into his hand, pressing it before hurling it behind him.
The small tool looked insignificant compared to the truck-sized Three-headed Ghost Lion, tracing a standard parabola as it fell backward.
On the other hand, the Three-headed Ghost Lion also sped up the pursuit. All six eyes spotted the small item, but it paid no heed to it.
The experienced Three-headed Ghost Lion sensed no threat from the item, so it did not dodge and plunged headfirst into it.
At this mont, there was a loud explosion.
Boom!
The small tool instantly expanded into a 3x3x3 coffin shape, which was precisely Li Zheng’s capsule residence!
The interior length had nearly reached twenty ters, but the exterior remained the sa, like a giant matchbox or an urn.
Sotis living inside it made Li Zheng feel unlucky.
The capsule residence was equipped by the Matrix System, and though it had lost its invincibility trait, its expanding power was still unmatched by the Three-headed Ghost Lion.
Unexpectedly, the Three-headed Ghost Lion was forcefully bounced back by the capsule residence.
The capsule residence, in turn, was launched like a cannonball in Li Zheng’s direction.
[Unauthorized modification, capsule residence damaged, please repair promptly.]
Li Zheng didn’t have ti to feel distressed. His legs gave way, and he fell to the ground.
The capsule residence whistled over him.
"Boom boom boom!"
Breaking several trees, the capsule residence rolled a few tis before finally stopping.
"Pah pah!"
Covered in dust, Li Zheng lifted his head, spitting out the dried leaves he accidentally ingested, and scrambled to his feet, summoning the Light Saber.
