Chapter 121: Chapter 113 Genetic Ability: 10,000 Blade Wind Whirl

“Let’s keep this blueprint for now and learn it when we need to, save some energy for the computer.”

Li Zheng put away the blueprint and took a short rest, reviewing the day’s total gains before finally taking out a few items and placing them on the metal floor.

First were the two Heart Cores from the Kentaurus Bull, which Li Zheng tossed to Little Sakura to gnaw on like a snack.

“Ying.”

The little creature wasn’t shy, as a pet with an “ambitious” personality, it never refused anything that could significantly enhance its power. Whatever Li Zheng gave it, it would eat.

Crunch, crunch.

There were a few crisp sounds as a Heart Core was swallowed, and suddenly a strong wind arose around the little creature, engulfing it.

[Pet Little Sakura has consumed “Kentaurus Bull Heart Core”, developing Genetic Ability…]

[Pet Little Sakura has triggered the “Ambitious” trait, determining…]

[Determination successful.]

What followed was a period of waiting.

Li Zheng didn’t remain idle, picking up the Land Fish Liver.

“This thing can boost resistance, making it hard to get sick. I’ll keep it to supplement Little Sakura’s meal later.”

After putting it aside, his gaze shifted to the final item, the “Deep Sea Fruit”, which gave Li Zheng a headache.

“This thing will definitely awaken a Gold Level Genetic Ability, no doubt an excellent item, but the taste…”

The thought of that foul liquid’s stench made Li Zheng’s teeth feel sour.

For an ordinary person, it was the corrosive effect of stomach acid from excessive vomiting damaging their teeth and nerves.

But for Li Zheng’s current physique…

It’s purely psychological.

“Forget it, no matter how good it is, you need to survive to use it. If I eat it, I’m afraid I’ll die of the stench.” After much deliberation, Li Zheng decided–to sell it!

“However, I can’t just sell it randomly. It’s best to think of the exploration team’s teammates first for these kinds of things.

Hmm, Old Xiao’s combat power is too low, even with a Pocket Watch, it’s not very reliable.

This time I’ll take a loss and sell it to him at a cheap price.”

Opening the private chat interface, Li Zheng first sent a message to Li Chun to see if the other had woken up.

However, the Matrix System still indicated that the other party was resting.

“Could something really have gone wrong?”

Frowning, Li Zheng decided to try his luck after the Deep Sea Fruit transaction, to see if he could find her.

“Old Xiao, do you want a tool to develop Genetic Ability?

100% development, safe with no side effects.

If you want it, just say the word and I’ll bring it to you immediately.”

Within three seconds of sending the private message, Xiao Siyuan replied with a string of ellipses.

“…Your joke is so bad! I don’t even want to play along with it, send the Attributes over first?”

Li Zheng sent the Attributes of the Deep Sea Fruit.

“Wow! Are you the Matrix Terminal’s favorite? A tool that 100% develops Gold Level Genetic Ability!?”

Xiao Siyuan was obviously stunned; it took him a while to reply again: “I don’t have much to offer, how about I trade you two Gold Level Active Cores?”

“We’re friends, just give me one.”

Li Zheng stroked his chin, voluntarily lowering the price.

It’s not that he’s crazy, but he fears Xiao Siyuan might come looking for him after eating the Deep Sea Fruit.

They’re all acquaintances, and by then, should he retaliate or retaliate?

Considering combat power, even if Xiao Siyuan developed Genetic Ability, he would be no match for himself.

But they will continue to work together on instances in the future, often crossing paths, and it would be embarrassing for a thirty-something man to be bullied by a guy in his twenties.

Li Zheng felt that he was truly considerate.

On the other side, Xiao Siyuan was bewildered.

He’s seen people ask exorbitant prices to sell things and seen people immediately pay when buying.

But this is the first time he’s seen a weirdo who voluntarily lowers the price to sell things.

However, with a half-price reduction, no sane person would refuse.

“OK! Let’s do it.”

The transaction was swiftly completed.

Deep Sea Fruit -1

Gold Level Active Core +1

“Yes, let me give you a heads-up, this thing doesn’t taste great, prepare yourself mentally.”

After considering it, Li Zheng decided to warn Xiao Siyuan, roughly explaining the “side effects” of the Deep Sea Fruit.

“Very stinky? How bad can it be?” Xiao Siyuan didn’t take it seriously and replied: “Can it be worse than surstromming? I once bought a can out of curiosity and finished it with two bowls of rice.”

Seeing this, Li Zheng didn’t say more: “Then I wish you good luck.”

Surstromming?

Li Zheng sneered; the stench of that stuff is not even a tenth of the black foul liquid’s!

Anyone who has smelled the foul liquid and then eats surstromming will exclaim, “Damn, this smells great!” and then devour ten cans.

Having settled everything, Li Zheng glanced at Little Sakura, which still needed fifteen minutes to finish.

He then took out some Luoshen Flowers and the Ghost Lion Heart, warming what needed to be heated and setting aside what needed to be stored.

After the dinner preparations, Little Sakura’s Genetic Ability development completed just in time.

[Pet Little Sakura successfully developed Genetic Ability: Myriad Blades Wind Scroll]

[Myriad Blades Wind Scroll

Silver Level

Type: Elemental Manipulation

Lv1

exp: 0/100

Active Effect: Condenses Wind Element to form slashing blades around itself, attacking any unit entering the area.

Current Wind Blade count: 3

Consumption: 5/Wind Blade/minute]

At the same time, Little Sakura’s Genetic Force which was only twenty points, surged directly to eighty points.

“Hmm, looks good.” Li Zheng nodded in satisfaction, the little creature finally becoming powerful.

At least ordinary Bronze Level creatures wouldn’t be a match for Little Sakura, and with Li Zheng’s support, it can even challenge some slightly weaker Silver Level creatures.

The main reason for its relatively weak state despite having many abilities is that Little Sakura is still in its Growth Stage, which limits its abilities.

Only when it fully matures can it unleash its full power.

“Ying!”

Having become a bit stronger, Little Sakura was very excited and immediately swallowed another Heart Core.

The Myriad Blades Wind Scroll level increased by 1, reaching Level 2, and the maximum Wind Blade count increased from 3 to 5.

Correspondingly, the Wind Blade’s attack power also slightly enhanced.

“Come, try the new ability.”

With that, Li Zheng took out a piece of fresh Kentaurus Bull meat from his residence and threw it over.

“Ying ying!”

Little Sakura’s small eyes focused on the fresh meat, secretly manipulating its ability.

The next second.

“Shoo shoo shoo.”

Five invisible and colorless Wind Blades formed, quickly rotating around Little Sakura, making slicing air sounds.

Soon after, the fresh meat entered the Wind Blade zone and suddenly split into two.

“Shoo shoo shoo shoo…”

In just four seconds, the fresh meat kept flipping in front of Little Sakura without touching the ground.

Every flip would throw a small piece of minced meat.

Until Little Sakura stopped the Myriad Blades Wind Scroll, leaving the remaining fresh meat to fall, resembling minced meat.

“Ying!”

The little creature held its head high, very proud and smug.

Look at me, Sakura, how amazing!

Quick, praise me, Sakura!

“Haha.”

Li Zheng was amused by its expression and casually praised twice: “Awesome, awesome, let’s have dinner quickly; we’re heading out soon.”

Placing the warmed Ghost Lion Heart in front of Little Sakura, Li Zheng continued munching on Luoshen Flowers, savoring the milky fragrance mixed with floral notes.

“Oh, right.”

Slapping his forehead, Li Zheng remembered a previous promise and took out two cups from his residence (the teacups acquired in the room where the lantern was obtained, one was broken, leaving three.), pouring Clock Stone Milk into them.

With Clock Stone Milk, Li Zheng put the remaining Luoshen Flowers away and instead took out a Honey Fruit, combining it with the rich milky flavor of the Clock Stone Milk, the sweet honey flavor became even better.

…

After a satisfying meal, Li Zheng let Little Sakura stand on his shoulder and then took out the “Mysterious Declaration”.

As the blood-red lantern appeared in his hand, the various information on the metal doors in the room unified to show “A player is behind this door.”

“I hope I can find Li Chun within these ten chances.”

With a hint of unease, Li Zheng randomly opened a door and walked inside.

At the moment he stepped through the door.

Nightfall.

Descended.
