Chapter 220: Chapter 107 Non-Technology Side Item "Eye Demon War Boots" (Additional Update)

"Hey, you really are a little clever one."

Li Zheng patted Xiao Ying’s head, seeing that it still had its eyes closed, motionless.

Li Zheng said helplessly, "Open your eyes."

Xiao Ying shook its head vigorously, "Awo awo awo!"

Impossible!

Absolutely won’t listen!

It must be a test!

You just want me to fall for it, then punish me by not giving me food today!

No way!

Although the impulse to look up was gone, Xiao Ying realized some real situations.

But in such a moment, it’s best to be cautious, listen to its master, and wait until the next room to open its eyes and look up!

Li Zheng looked at it and, after a while, spoke softly, "Do you think closing your eyes and then looking up doesn’t count as disobeying my order?

I remember I said no looking up, right?

Closing your eyes and looking up is still looking up, you broke the rules, no food for you today!"

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Ying shivered and finally realized the main point.

"Awo?"

So, today... still no food?

The little one became anxious, opened its eyes instantly, and met Li Zheng’s gaze.

Tears welled up in its eyes, looking pitiful: "Awo~"

The implication was, considering how obedient it usually is, just let it off this time.

"As for food, you won’t have any today."

Li Zheng took out a basketball-sized, bumpy crystalline object from his capsule residence and weighed it in his hand: "For your next two meals today, just finish this. If you can finish it in one go, we might consider giving you an extra meal tonight."

This was the "Earth Dragon Crystal Core" obtained during the fusion of residences, initially intended for Xiao Ying to eat in the morning, but with Lu Li present, it wasn’t appropriate to take it out.

Li Zheng estimated that with such a big crystal core down its stomach, the little guy would probably have no appetite for food today.

The no food punishment was originally just to scare Xiao Ying, after all, who would be so strict with their daughter?

Even though this daughter...

It’s not really a daughter...

Xiao Ying once again ignored the main point, only hearing about the extra meal at night, and immediately grabbed the crystal core to start gnawing.

In its mind, the sooner it finishes eating, the sooner it can digest.

Start eating now, and maybe free up its stomach to eat more by night.

I have to say, these crystal cores and such props are worthy of being pet-specific items.

Even the Diamond Level essence couldn’t withstand Xiao Ying’s teeth, biting off chunks like they were sugar beans.

Seeing it eat so happily, Li Zheng curiously asked, "I’ve always wanted to ask, is this stuff tasty?"

"Gulp."

Xiao Ying swallowed the crystal core in its mouth, shook its head bitterly, "Awo."

Li Zheng understood, "Not tasty? That’s what I guessed."

Crunch crunch.

Crack crunch.

"Alright, you eat slowly, I’ll go handle the battlefield."

Li Zheng stopped bothering Xiao Ying, looked up at the cave ceiling, and saw something pitch black hanging directly above.

"Huh? There’s a physical object, let’s see if I can decompose it."

Activating the flying device, he quickly reached the Eye Demon’s corpse.

At this point, all the contents inside the eyeball had drained away, leaving only a layer of skin connected to the cave ceiling by nerve-like tissue.

"Decompose!"

[Decomposing Abyssal Eye Demon, obtained: Eye Demon Resilient Hide +10, Abyss Core +1]

The items weren’t much, but upon checking the material attributes, they were all Platinum Level materials.

The resilient hide can be made into armor, with different effects depending on the armor produced.

Made into clothes or shoes, it can add the trait: Disguise.

[Trait: Disguise

Description: One of the Eye Demon’s talents, changing its optical refraction to blend with the surroundings.]

The trait looks pretty good, but unfortunately, making a full set of clothes requires at least 80 units of Eye Demon Resilient Hide, so that’s a no-go.

The amount of hide Li Zheng got this time can at most make a pair of gloves, a pair of shoes, or a hat/helmet.

Made as gloves, it adds the trait: Telekinesis Amplification.

[Trait: Telekinesis Amplification.

Description: Amplifies Telekinesis System genetic abilities to an extent.]

Li Zheng himself doesn’t have this genetic ability, so he didn’t consider it for now.

Made as a hat/helmet, it adds the trait: Psychic Interference.

[Trait: Psychic Interference.

Description: Interferes with mind-based attacks on the user, reducing their effects.]

Made as shoes, it adds the trait: Short Distance Teleportation.

[Trait: Short Distance Teleportation.

Description: One of the Abyssal Eye Demon’s talents, allowing a teleportation within a certain range upon activation.

Usable once every minute.]

Each of the three traits has different effects.

But uniformly, the attributes don’t provide exact data.

The characteristic of the Matrix Game is this way, many tools just give players a general idea of their usage, and how to use them or to what extent they can be used must be explored and attempted by the players themselves.

After looking over everything, Li Zheng realized that the reason the Eye Demon didn’t escape when he approached was probably because it couldn’t move at all.

Or rather, its relocation only relied on the "Short Distance Teleportation" talent ability.

This ability certainly can’t compare to walking, with very obvious pros and cons.

The advantage is the element of surprise; the downside is the inability to move around freely.

"I’ll have to trouble Li Chun again."

Li Zheng sent over the item attributes and asked if they could be made.

After getting a positive answer, Li Zheng traded the items over, along with gifting a Gold Level firearm previously hung in the group as compensation.

Soon, the system notified Li Zheng of a new direct trade.

Upon retrieving it, he held in his hands a pair of pure black Martin boots with golden thread patterns.

"It actually looks quite nice, if Li Chun hadn’t entered the Matrix, she could definitely be a fashion designer."

The appearance of equipable items like clothes and shoes can also be modified based on the creator’s aesthetic preferences.

There’s considerable room for personal expression.

He took off the Silver Level shoes on his feet, also crafted by Li Chun, and put on the newly acquired Platinum Level "Eye Demon War Boots."

Walking back and forth a few steps, although the soles seemed hard, there was no obstruction when walking, very lightweight.

This is thanks to the texture of the Eye Demon Resilient Hide itself.

"Let’s test the ability."

Li Zheng looked towards the Abyssal Altar, silently thinking, "Short Distance Teleportation!"

The next second, his vision blurred.

When he came around, he found himself three meters away.

"The maximum range is three meters, and I can freely control the landing point within three meters."

Li Zheng summarized briefly, and from the feedback of the ability, if there were any obstacles between the destination and himself, he would stop before the obstacle.

This means short distance teleportation can’t go through walls.

Additionally, a "Energy Bar" appeared at the corner of his vision, slowly filling up over time.

Li Zheng was slightly astonished, suddenly realizing that these shoes didn’t belong to tech-side tools.

The shoes’ "recharging" was completely different from conventional items’ "Active Core" recharging, it looked like the Eye Demon Resilient Hide was slowly absorbing some medium, thus meeting the requirement for using "Short Distance Teleportation."

"Interesting."

Li Zheng chuckled, he already understood what Old Pu meant by "surprise" earlier.

"The content within the Matrix Game is indeed beyond imagination, now even mysterious-side items have appeared."

In the future, could there be even more outrageous things?

Li Zheng became increasingly eager for his future gaming experience.
