Chapter 142: Chapter 132: This time I want 12 times! (First update today)

[Abyssal Serotonin, Gold Level, Rare Material

Description: Serotonin extracted from abyssal creatures, usable for various purposes including but not limited to: drinking, medical, cooking, and pharmaceutics.

Old Prel: Another meaning of versatile usage = no usage.

After all, you don’t have a formula.]

“Formula?”

Li Zheng rummaged through the material list of genetic potions and felt embarrassed. Indeed, there was no ingredient named Abyssal Serotonin.

“Damn, was I busy for nothing this whole time?” Li Zheng was a bit speechless. The hard-won item, now all for nothing because there’s no formula, has to gather dust…

Thinking about it just feels frustrating.

[It’s not like it was all in vain, Old Prel just analyzed its attributes. At the very least, if you drink it directly, there’s a chance to gain a certain ability of the Abyssal race.

And since the serotonin has undergone the extraction step, it won’t taste too bad. At the worst, it quenches your thirst–just think of it as a drink.]

“If I drink it directly, what’s the probability?”

[Have you ever won the grand prize in the Double Color Ball lottery? It’s about the same as that.]

Li Zheng was even more speechless: “Damn it… with this kind of probability, even if you force it down Phoenix Mountain’s throat with a fire hose, it’ll be pointless!”

Rolling his eyes, Li Zheng threw all the serotonin, box and all, into his capsule residence.

“Damn it, I trembled in exploration and ended up with twelve bottles of junk.”

Flying down from the altar, Li Zheng grumbled, though he did gain something.

At least in the future, when he encounters a room with an Abyssal Walking presence, he can anticipate it and just take out the Mysterious Declaration for an instant pass.

However, considering the characteristic of the Abyssal Walking leaving no corpse after death, unless he encounters a room with a box again, it wouldn’t interest him.

“Let’s go, let’s go, such a waste of time!”

“Yip!”

Little Sakura obediently flew behind Li Zheng; the earlier encounter nearly scared it to death.

The moment it entered the room, it felt a chill, trembling with unease.

Then something seemed to be drilling into its mind, making it extremely uncomfortable.

Luckily, its owner was reliable and eliminated the enemy.

However…

The little guy scratched its tummy, feeling something was left in its brain even after the enemy was gone.

What’s more, its fur turned so black?

With a thought, Little Sakura’s short fur stood on end like a porcupine, extremely sharp.

Looking like a spiked sea urchin with wings and tail.

“Little Sakura, hurry up, let’s speed up!”

Li Zheng shouted from ahead, startling Little Sakura to lower its hardened fur instantly.

“Yipyip.”

Little Sakura sped up and perched on Li Zheng’s shoulder.

Fortunately, its new fur can be controlled soft or hard, otherwise, it feared its owner might be pricked.

If that happened, it’d surely be disliked, having to say goodbye to its shoulder perch for a few days.

Li Zheng didn’t notice Little Sakura’s anomaly at all.

Old Prel had finished the analysis, but since Li Zheng hadn’t thought to use the Prelis’ Eye to check on Little Sakura, Old Prel hadn’t mentioned it.

[Behind this door is a Gold Level creature with enhanced abilities in daytime. The danger level is not high, I suggest a closer look.]

[Behind this door is a Silver Level special crop. The creature guarding it is also Silver Level, and its abilities are weakened in daytime. This is a pushover, easy pass.]

[Behind this door are some materials, mostly advanced components; pick this if you have the need.]

[Behind this door there’s nothing but air, you’d have to be brain-fried to choose this.]

[Behind this door is a player who just killed a creature living here. He’s resting, and you don’t know him.]

“Silver Level special crop, success rate isn’t high!” Li Zheng frowned slightly but ended up choosing this.

Compared to other rooms, the cost-effectiveness of this room is surprisingly the highest. Even the room with a Gold Level creature pales in comparison in terms of value to Li Zheng.

“Not having even gathered Bronze 5+ materials, collecting Gold Level so early feels like being penny wise, pound foolish.”

Though Gold Level potions require more types of materials, Li Zheng starting to stockpile now isn’t wrong.

It’s mainly because he’s eyeing that crop.

“Hopefully it’s Fire Element or Ice Element, could use it to enhance Ice and Fire Attachment.”

With this expectation, Li Zheng swiped his card at the door and entered.

The third room of the sixth day.

Upon entry, Li Zheng saw the special crop growing on a sheer cliff, with a large nest beside it. A two-headed Cyan Feathered Eagle peeked out, watching him with a sinister gaze.

Li Zheng estimated that if the daytime didn’t suppress the Cyan Feathered Eagle, it would attack him instantly upon sight.

“Tsk, since you’re intimidated, I won’t hold back.”

Li Zheng took out his Daiyu Spear, aimed remotely, and silently pulled the trigger.

The distance was at least eight hundred meters, but the energy bomb arrived in a flash, and before the Cyan Feathered Eagle could react, it was blown into pieces by the energy bomb imbued with Ice Ability.

“Tch, indeed an easy pass.”

Li Zheng turned around, and since Old Prel gave no other prompts, he flew directly over.

First, he checked the nest. The two-headed Cyan Feathered Eagle was dead beyond dead, and Li Zheng casually decomposed it.

[Obtained: Meat +15, Blood 200ml, Cyan Feathers +80]

Perhaps the corpse was too fragmented, making the decomposed items quite pitiful.

Even the most abundant cyan feathers are just material for clothing, providing insulation and warmth when made into garments.

This was basically useless to Li Zheng, who casually gave it to Li Chun, who does weaving, for practice and fun.

“The blood is needed for Silver Level genetic potion, not too bad.”

After dealing with the decomposition, Li Zheng carefully uprooted the crop and stored it in his residence.

[Mountain Crevice Grass, Silver Level, Crop

Description: Consuming has a 2% chance to develop Earth Gene Ability.

Rest omitted.]

“Silver Level, as long as it’s not marked rare in its tier and purpose, the success rate is pathetically low.”

His eyes shifted around, and Li Zheng dragged this information into his private chat panel and sent it to Phoenix Mountain.

“How about it? Don’t say brother doesn’t take care of you, Earth Ability development tool, Old Xiao said it might develop into a defensive ability.”

Phoenix Mountain seemed busy, responding after a long while: “How to trade? Let’s be clear, I have few resources to offer since I was out all day yesterday, a severe setback.”

A severe setback?

Li Zheng laughed, this guy always shirks when trading, always making some excuse.

This behavior is all because… Phoenix Mountain isn’t desperate for what Li Zheng offers.

If this time Li Zheng offered Gold Level tools, Phoenix Mountain would even shamelessly call for credit to acquire it.

However, Li Zheng never aimed for any benefits from Phoenix Mountain. He already had the trading term in mind.

“The thing isn’t expensive, you don’t even need to part with any physical resources to take it.”

Phoenix Mountain: “???”

“You just need to sincerely wish for me to have my wishes come true twelve times, and it’s yours.”

“???”

Phoenix Mountain was even more baffled, yesterday it was just once, how come today it’s twelve times?

Could it be that with his last name Li, he got beaten dumb by Lin Feng yesterday?

How did the condition worsen?

Thinking, Phoenix Mountain tried sending a private message: “Quick, give me everything valuable you have!”

Li Zheng was dumbfounded by this, what nonsense is Phoenix Mountain spouting?

Could it be he got beaten dumb by Lin Feng yesterday?

The condition is quite severe!

“Give it to your grandpa! My most valuable possessions are my two pockets, do you want them? I’ll give you a friendly discount, sure to beat you senseless!”

Phoenix Mountain, seeing Li Zheng’s message, was disappointed, so he wasn’t beaten dumb after all.

Li Zheng thought for a moment and sent a probing private message: “Why don’t you just go with Yan Guang, and I’ll not only give you Mountain Crevice Grass but also five tubes of Black Iron 2+ potion?”

Phoenix Mountain got agitated upon receiving the message: “Absolutely not! That madwoman Yan Guang, if you like her, take her away, don’t think of harming me!”

Seeing the message, Li Zheng was relieved.

Fortunately, Phoenix Mountain wasn’t beaten dumb; his thought process is still as unique.
