Chapter 212: Chapter 179 Earth Dragon Crystal Core, Diamond Level

[Mysterious Black Light Flashlight, Gold, Special Item

Description: When activated, it emits a black beam for illumination.

No Bright Future: When fusing an ownerless capsule residence, an extra two attempts are added to the basic three success rates.

Note: Effective when held.

Old Pu: Black light? What is black light?

As the name implies, it’s black light.

But, as we all know, there’s no black on the spectrum.

So, how does the black light flashlight manage to emit black light?

You asking me?

Who am I supposed to ask?

Defies scientific common sense?

Don’t you already have enough things defying common sense on you?

Anyway, you guessed right, it is indeed one of the components.]

"..."

Li Zheng fell into a brief silence after reading the attribute introduction of the small, exquisite flashlight in his hand.

"Why do I feel that all these directly acquired finished items, regardless of their attributes, functions, or shapes, are a bit quirky?"

Ham, salted fish, cuttlefish—they all look like food but are actually weapons.

Mysterious Lantern, clearly an illumination tool, yet it needs to be held to light up.

That’s still acceptable.

But now, what does a flashlight emitting black light mean?

Are you afraid you won’t die while walking down the dark road?

Driven by curiosity, Li Zheng, unable to retort, opened the black light flashlight.

The next second, the flashlight really emitted a pure black beam, shooting straight out.

It was like someone had drawn a straight, meaningless black line on a canvas with a black pen.

The strangest part was that Li Zheng actually felt "blinded" by this black light.

This physiological phenomenon can only be described with two words—ridiculously bizarre!

Fortunately, the black light did not last long.

Because after Li Zheng tried it, he merged it with the Mysterious Declaration.

The black light vanished as the flashlight merged, and in the other hand, the Mysterious Declaration underwent subtle changes.

The originally red "eyeball" rolling and rising in the flames suddenly grew two pure black dots, like pupils, vivid and lifelike.

With the rolling of the "eyes," Li Zheng even got the illusion of being watched, which made him shiver.

"After all the seals on this thing are unlocked, could it turn into the head of some creature?" Li Zheng muttered to himself.

The multiple changes of the Mysterious Declaration gave him a sense of déjà vu, as though it were a Demon King’s head, sealed and decapitated by a warrior, gradually awakening with the release of seals.

Just like the myths and legends of Dragon Country’s "Chiyou" and "Xing Tian."

"I’m overthinking, overthinking. It’s a pity I’m not writing novels with such wild imagination." Li Zheng laughed at himself, focusing again on the "eyeball" rolling in the middle of the lantern, no longer having the previous feeling.

"It’s probably just the uncanny valley effect."

With a thought, Li Zheng’s hand holding the lantern dimmed the formerly white light, and in the darkness, the eyeball rolled, red within white.

The light changed again, emitting a red glow, and the eyeball correspondingly turned to white within black, looking more like a pair of eyes.

With a shake of the hand holding the lantern, the eyes rolled under the red glow, sometimes turning cockeyed or half-cockeyed, creating a strangely comical effect.

After testing all three modes, Li Zheng reassessed the attributes of the Mysterious Declaration.

Seal: 2/3

The feature of No Bright Future has also been incorporated.

Other than that, there were no more changes.

Including the illumination range, which did not expand.

"Just one more component to unlock all the seals." Li Zheng noticed the original feature of the lantern: "I’m a bit curious now; where exactly does it lead to?

Do I have to unlock all seals to find that place?"

Old Pu doesn’t know this question either, so there’s no hint.

Li Zheng was too lazy to think about it, so he stuffed the lantern into his residence.

When the ship reaches the bridge, it will straighten itself out. When he encounters it someday, or when all seals are unlocked, the answer will naturally emerge.

Checking the time, it was already past two in the morning.

"It’s so late, better find a place to rest and finish task three tomorrow based on the situation."

"Hmm... You’re just right, and it’ll settle some personal grudges."

After scrolling through the combat power leaderboard, Li Zheng selected Lu Li, activated the "Walking" privilege, and teleported over.

"Ow!"

As soon as he entered the room where Lu Li was, Xiaoying, who had been following Li Zheng, became cheerful.

During the fight with Xinyanzi, Li Zheng hadn’t considered it, and Extreme Isolation had long expired.

If it hadn’t reached adulthood and exhibited all its Silver Level abilities, it wouldn’t have lasted long in such low temperatures.

Bang!

Li Zheng released the capsule residence for it to enter first, while he carried an Iron Ingot and politely knocked on Lu Li’s door.

duang! duang! duang!

Lu Li had just fallen asleep, and was immediately enraged by the racket.

"Stupid terminal, what wandering monster is causing trouble late in the night, can’t they let me sleep peacefully.

TMD, this is so annoying!

Let’s see if I don’t shoot you, you damned thing!"

Cursing and swearing, Lu Li picked up his sniper rifle and went to open the door, intending to teach whoever was outside a lesson.

In his mind, at this hour, the only thing that could appear in a player’s room was a wandering creature, nothing else.

So, the moment he opened the door and pointed the sniper rifle at Li Zheng’s forehead, he was shocked awake, all drowsiness gone.

"Father, why are you here?"

"Hey, you rascal, you still dare to point a gun at me?"

Li Zheng grinned, grabbed the sniper rifle barrel, and yanked it outward.

Then he realized, while players are inside their residences, others can’t enter, but you can be pulled out.

"I didn’t mean to!" Lu Li, caught off guard, was dragged out, falling face-first and trying to crawl back to his residence with all fours.

"You still want to run?"

But with his small frame, he was directly pinned by Li Zheng, unable to move.

"Please, dad..."

Before he could finish pleading, Li Zheng punched him in the eye socket.

"Owww~"

...

Ten minutes later, Li Zheng returned to his own residence, feeling relieved.

He brushed off the non-existent dust on his hands with a cold smile: "Let’s see if you dare shoot your mouth off again!"

From one perspective, Li Zheng held grudges.

At least he never forgot about Lu Li making fun of him.

Especially after the manager task granted privilege, revenge was conveniently easy.

Ten walk rights a day, not using them for some private affairs would be a waste, wouldn’t it?

"Ow?"

Xiaoying looked up at Li Zheng curiously, not understanding why he was so happy.

But the little guy didn’t really care, it flipped over and continued sleeping.

Li Zheng walked lightly back to his bed, first exchanging a bunch of fibers he hadn’t used before from the trading hall to use as Xiaoying’s mattress, and then exchanged for a few packs of tissues.

Then he flipped to the prompt he hadn’t finished reading before.

[This fusion triggered... obtained: Earth Dragon Crystal Core +1]

[Earth Dragon Crystal Core, Diamond, Material

Description: Chance to obtain by decomposing a Diamond Level creature "Earth Dragon."

Effect: When consumed by a pet, it randomly inherits one ability of the Earth Dragon.]

"A pet item?"

Li Zheng was quite satisfied, at least it was something with an immediate effect, much better than materials like "Vibranium."

"After all, the Earth Dragon is a Diamond Level creature, even randomly inheriting one ability must start at least from Platinum, right?"

...

The next day, before the Xiaoying alarm clock could go off, Li Zheng was already awake.

Today, he was awakened by the sound of gunfire.
