Looking at the ti, it’s only one in the afternoon, about three hours to go before the Fla Flower matures. Li Zheng casually turned on the regional chat hall and started lurking.
The ga has reached the fifth day. After a few days of elimination, most of the players still alive are elites, with strength roughly between Bronze Level and Silver Level.
Especially after obtaining the Malice Detection Pocket Watch today, these players in channel 0000879, except for those who split off, have almost no casualties.
With easier exploration, the chat hall was full of banter and laughter, creating a harmonious atmosphere.
Li Zheng didn’t know if players in other regions had obtained exploration tools, but he estimated that in the entire Matrix, their channel likely had the easiest ti.
So even started bragging about their harvests in the regional channel.
Zhou Kai: "[Blood of the Frenzy Mouse] Haha, yet another Black Iron potion material. I estimate I can max out at least one attribute to the Black Iron limit tonight!"
Liu Jin: "That’s nothing! I just killed a Bronze Level creature, and I’m already stocking up on Bronze Potion materials!"
Zhao Yu: "@Liu Jin, aweso, by the way, what level are your four-dinsional attributes now?"
Liu Jin: "...All four are at Black Iron limit."
Zhao Yu: "Then nevermind."
Zhou Kai: "@Liu Jin, you’re a non-Epic Luck player!"
Liu Jin: "Damn! Just wait! I still have six exploration chances, I can at least enter four Black Iron Level creature rooms to show you what real luck is!"
Zhou Kai: "Waiting in anticipation."
Liu Jin: " 1"
Ye Yuan: "Still no contact with Phoenix Mountain?"
Chen Guanghan: "Not yet, Sister Yuan. He should still be sleeping. We’ve been sending him private ssages non-stop, but the system notification hasn’t changed."
Ye Yuan: "Keep it up! No one is allowed to stop. Whoever reaches Phoenix Mountain first gets a one-day Gatling usage reward from !"
Ye Kai: "Lil Sis, haven’t you gone exploring yet?"
Ye Yuan: "Finished exploring, but had terrible luck, entered five empty rooms in a row! Ahhhh, bro, lend that thing so I can go wake Phoenix Mountain!"
Ye Kai: "No can do."
Ye Yuan: "Stingy! @Chen Guanghan, supervise all the newly split brothers and sisters. If anyone slacks off and doesn’t ssage Phoenix Mountain, I’ll co for them tomorrow!"
Chen Guanghan: "Yes!"
...
This is basically the current state of channel 0000879.
Li Zheng was speechless from watching.
In the past few days, although everyone chatted nonchalantly, at least they occasionally talked about serious things, like trading items.
But today, the channel directly split into two parts: one dominated by veteran players, all relying on the newly acquired pocket watch, starting to beco couch potatoes.
It wasn’t about who got better or more valuable materials.
Instead, they were comparing who obtained more Black Iron Level materials...
The other part, after witnessing the watch’s attributes, simply skipped exploration and crazily bombarded Phoenix Mountain with private ssages, hoping to snag a watch for themselves.
After all, they had already accumulated resources from the previous days of exploration, so wasting a day didn’t matter to them.
Compared to today’s potential gain, others cared more about the one-fifth safety guarantee in the coming days.
Why not explore first and contact Phoenix Mountain in the evening?
Heh, let’s not even talk about it; who can guarantee nothing unexpected happens during today’s exploration?
What if they died?
Wouldn’t that be a huge loss?
"If this continues, our channel might beco the laziest channel in the entire Matrix..."
Li Zheng was starting to wonder if having Phoenix Mountain produce so many watches was really a good idea.
"Eek."
Unknowingly, Li Zheng spied on the screen for over twenty minutes, and Xiao Ying’s condition began to improve.
"You’re awake."
Li Zheng lowered his head, took out the Heart Core of the Scale Crow Giant Lizard, and handed it over: "This is a tool to enhance your physical fitness. Eat it, and you won’t get sick easily in the future."
"Eek eek!"
Upon hearing it’s sothing that could keep it from getting sick, the little guy’s eyes lit up with eagerness.
Letting go of Li Zheng’s finger, it took the Heart Core, which was about the size of a ping-pong ball, and started gnawing on it.
In no ti, it finished the Heart Core. Exhausted, it closed its eyes and lapsed back into sleep.
This ti, it was a sleep induced by the Heart Core’s effect.
[Pet Xiao Ying has consud the "Scale Crow Giant Lizard Heart Core," improving physique.]
[Pet Xiao Ying’s consumption of the "Scale Crow Giant Lizard Heart Core" triggers mutation probability determination...]
[Pet Xiao Ying triggers personality trait "Upward," increasing positive mutation probability of Scale Armor Giant Lizard Heart Core by 10%, reducing negative mutation probability...]
[Determination complete, Pet Xiao Ying undergoes positive mutation.]
...
As these notifications popped up, Li Zheng saw a bulge appear behind Xiao Ying’s previously bare bottom.
With a "pop," the small bulge burst, and a nearly fifty-centiter-long slender round tail grew out.
The round tail, just sprouting, still had damp fuzz, but soon the fuzz all shed away, and tiny scales erged from the flesh to cover the tail.
A few scales stood upright and solidified, ultimately forming a row of serrated sharp plates.
It was a mini version of the Scale Crow Giant Lizard’s tail!
Besides the tail, the blood flow in Xiao Ying’s body accelerated, and tiny muscles grew at a visible speed.
Almost simultaneously with the tail’s change, it stopped to beco a small, muscular gorilla.
In the anti, Xiao Ying’s tier evolved from Black Iron Level elite to Bronze Level elite.
[Pet Xiao Ying has completed mutation.]
The final system notification passed, and Xiao Ying awoke again, opening its little eyes.
"Eek eek!"
The little guy turned over, sprang up, and fluttered its wings to fly.
The negative effects of its cold were entirely gone, and it didn’t feel unwell at all.
In fact, it felt brimming with unending strength throughout its body.
"Eek eek, eek eek."
Recovered from the cold, Xiao Ying joyfully circled around Li Zheng, venting the abundant energy from this upgrade.
"Eek?"
Suddenly, the little buddy seed to notice sothing, a slender tail curled from under its bottom to the front, startling itself, causing its little soft fur to stand upright like a frightened cat.
"Eek eek eek eek eek..."
Pouncing into Li Zheng’s arms, Xiao Ying was shivering in fear of its newly grown tail.
"Hahaha!"
Li Zheng laughed heartily, patting Xiao Ying. Feeling the solid touch of muscle in his hand, Li Zheng grasped Xiao Ying’s tail and said: "This is your own tail, what are you scared of?"
"Eek?"
Xiao Ying’s small, quivering body stiffened, and it cautiously turned its head, peeking a glimpse.
"Eek eek eek!"
Seeing Li Zheng holding the tail in front of it, the little guy was so frightened it buried its head again, urgently asking Li Zheng to take it away.
How could it have grown such an ugly tail!
Bare, without fur, not pretty at all!
Fake!
All fake!
...
Three minutes later, Xiao Ying eventually faced reality and admitted that it had indeed grown an "ugly" tail.
In its mind, terror bats shouldn’t have tails. Even if they did, it shouldn’t be this kind with scales.
"Eek eek..."
Following the hints from Prelis’ Eye, Li Zheng moved towards the next tal door, Xiao Ying listlessly following behind, its newly grown tail twisting aimlessly.
"Alright, alright, I think your tail looks quite nice."
Li Zheng turned back to comfort Xiao Ying, who felt it could never be the prettiest in the terror bat group with this tail.
"Eek?"
Hearing Li Zheng say that, Xiao Ying’s eyes blinked twice in disbelief.
"Really, does it really look good?"
"Yes, don’t worry. With that tail, you’ll be even more special!"
"Eek eek!"
The little creature was clearly unconvinced, its normally bright and lively eyes now filled with disappointnt as it still couldn’t accept the change.
