Chapter 188: Chapter 159 Suggestion to Organize (3)

"This thing dropped when we defeated Lin Fan back then."

Li Zheng explained, "I suppose the reason the Lin brothers would keep killing players is because of this item.

Later, after I exposed it, Lin Feng continued killing, probably because he tasted the benefits."

Not long after, the power rankings opened, making it much easier for Lin Feng to choose his targets.

For Lin Feng, players are much easier to kill than Matrix creatures.

"But how does the saying go?

It’s not the knife that’s dangerous, but the person holding it.

This thing, in my hands, is basically just ten more exploration opportunities."

"That’s true, but being able to resist such temptation without falling into depravity, that kind of mindset is not something ordinary people can match."

Xiao Siyuan, holding the Mysterious Declaration, quickly completed capsule fusion, then handed the item back, "Here you go, and these as well."

He pulled out four items and stuffed them all into Li Zheng’s arms.

Gangban Rihuan was killed by Li Zheng, and Lao Xiao had already taken advantage of some space expansion for his residence, so of course, he wouldn’t swallow other items.

Li Zheng turned over the items in his hand and found that their Tiers weren’t high: three pieces of Silver Material and one Golden Blueprint.

"Looks like the little devil traded away all the good stuff before dying," Li Zheng regretted, thinking that if Old Pu had found the opponent’s core faster, maybe they could have killed him before the trade completed.

He would have at least obtained a Platinum-level item then.

Xiao Siyuan had already released his residence and brought out Lin Fengjiao, rolling his eyes as he heard this, "Aren’t there still two Mud Furnace chickens?"

"That’s true, but... uh..."

Li Zheng suddenly felt awkward and asked, "Does the Compass still have any energy?"

The Hunter’s Compass can be used nine times a day, but a Gold Level Active Core can only recharge it five times.

The Ye Kai siblings obviously explored separately, so it’s possible they’ve almost used it up in these two days.

As expected, Xiao Siyuan replied, "No more, I used up the last charge just as I got here."

"..." Li Zheng was a bit annoyed because he remembered he was the one who recharged the Compass last time.

But Li Zheng wasn’t petty; once it’s used up, it’s no big deal; the item belongs to them, and they won’t specially save energy for you, right?

He held up the Golden Blueprint and asked, "Lao Xiao, how about lending me one first?"

[Advanced Scientific Medical Bed, Gold, Disposable

Description: Can be used to craft a medical bed.

Required Materials: ...omitted.]

The owner of this item was obvious, even if Xiao Siyuan couldn’t provide a Gold Level Active Core, Li Zheng would still give him the blueprint.

"Tch."

Xiao Siyuan grinned, "You’re spot on, I only have two Gold Level Active Cores left; after crafting the medical bed, I’ll give you one."

"It’s a deal then!"

Li Zheng acted swiftly, tossing the USB into the room Xiao Siyuan had opened, then quickly packed up his capsule residence and dashed out.

Xiao Siyuan was stunned, "Hey? I haven’t even... Damn it!"

He just realized with a medical bed, Lin Fengjiao would finally have a place to lie down, right?

"Damn it, are you a lucky dog? To think you could even open this blueprint?" After cursing, Lao Xiao reconsidered, "Wait, it was me who opened this blueprint! Am I really that unlucky?"

When he went back inside to craft the medical bed, Xiao Siyuan found that he didn’t have one of the required materials!

Immediately, he became happy again and contacted Li Zheng, "The medical bed needs five multi-joint mechanical arms; I don’t have any, why don’t you just send me back the bed?"

"Hold on," Li Zheng quickly replied with a message.

Not long after, the system notified him of a new specified transaction.

"Hmph, you rascal, I’ll take your bed..." Xiao Siyuan opened the trading hall complacently, expecting Li Zheng to send the bed, but instead...

There were five multi-joint mechanical arms!

"What the hell! Am I really this unlucky? You even have these things!"

Accepting his fate, Lao Xiao obediently crafted the medical bed, gently settled Lin Fengjiao onto it, and then sat at the entrance of his residence sulking.

Because he suddenly noticed something...

It was that his ill fortune was due to Li Zheng.

...

"Tsk tsk tsk, good thing I dismantled a human modification station a few days ago, otherwise you’d have really succeeded this time with your thick eyebrows!"

Li Zheng had already reached the seventh room for today, casually slashing a Bronze creature to death, and retrieved the Active Core that Xiao Siyuan had sent.

Originally, he wanted to contact Ye Kai immediately to rent the Hunter’s Compass, but on second thought, he decided to wait until the evening to act.

The two Mud Furnace chickens probably still have some exploration uses left, and if he attacked directly, they could easily evade by closing doors.

Li Zheng didn’t want to waste the Compass energy without knowing how many chances the opponents have left to explore.

After all, he only had this one Gold Level Active Core at the moment.

"To be safe, it’s better to go at night when most people are preparing to rest."

Li Zheng set up his residence, had lunch with Xiao Ying, and sent a dish over to Xiao Siyuan as well.

He had already harvested the new batch of Flame Flowers during his previous explorations; this time, he didn’t trigger a crop mutation and only got three Silver Level ones.

Li Zheng wasn’t disheartened by this; given his usual luck, this was normal.

Three Silver Level Flame Flowers only increased Li Zheng’s experience by 45 points, far from enough for another upgrade.

"Upgrading Platinum Level Genetic Ability is difficult enough, and with Ice and Fire Attachment being a dual ability..." Li Zheng scratched his head, "The difficulty should be higher, right?"

In comparison, Phoenix Mountain’s Silver Level ability upgraded much faster, reaching full level in just a few days.

The cost was that Phoenix Mountain was now poor, unable to produce even a Bronze Level Active Core...

"However, Little Phoenix’s power should grow very slowly going forward because upgrading Abyssal System abilities could be hard without items." Li Zheng considered and gave up the idea of drinking a serum to test his luck, instead checking Phoenix Mountain’s private chat and sending over the Abyssal Serotonin count.

As expected, eleven bottles of Abyssal Serotonin immediately prompted pleas from Phoenix Mountain.

"Bro, you’re my real brother, you must save this stuff for me!"

Eleven bottles of Serotonin were enough for Phoenix Mountain to level up his "Abyssal Bloodline" ability to level five, so he had to plead.

Phoenix Mountain feared that Li Zheng might impulsively try tasting a serum out of curiosity, but he had nothing substantial to trade for it.

He could only hope that Li Zheng would save them for him and not trade them to someone else.

"Don’t worry, I’ll save them for you," Li Zheng replied, "but I have a task for you."

Phoenix Mountain quickly replied, "Not just one task, even if it’s ten, a hundred, or a thousand tasks, I’d climb towers and brave fires for you!"

Li Zheng grinned and sent the task: "Tonight, I need you to work with Yu Xiaoyu..."

Five minutes later, Phoenix Mountain replied, "Deal!"

...

"Done!"

Li Zheng took Xiao Ying along to continue with the remaining exploration attempts for the day; if nothing unexpected happened, he would complete all ten extra explorations from the Mysterious Declaration before dark.
