Chapter 143: Chapter 133 Phoenix Mountain: “Right, is there a problem?” (Today’s 2nd update)

In the end, Phoenix Mountain completed the transaction and got the Mountain Crevice Grass.

Being able to get a crop that develops genetic ability just by talking–where else can you find such a good deal?

Although it’s only Silver Level, the success rate is not high.

But I’ve triggered the 2% success rate of the Silver Level items before, so no worries at all.

Crushing it up, I directly stuffed the Mountain Crevice Grass into my mouth, chewed it, and swallowed.

The next second, light spots condensed on the surface of my skin, turning into a shell-like stone covering my entire body.

…

After giving away the Mountain Crevice Grass, Li Zheng simply took Sakura and left.

What?

Why didn’t you drink the Abyssal Serotonin while the Luck of the Emperor Buff was still active?

Don’t be silly.

Haven’t you heard “luck cannot change your fate”?

Yesterday, Li Zheng just didn’t believe in luck, and asked Phoenix Mountain to bless him, but what was the result?

If it weren’t for bumping into Ye Yuan and getting help from the siblings, Li Chun would have been in trouble by now.

This shows that Phoenix Mountain’s lucky physique is truly “closed country,” not a bit of luck leaks out!

A stingy person couldn’t be more so.

[Behind this door, there are some materials, including more Tungsten Steel and Copper Ingots. If you need these, you can choose this one.]

[Behind this door, there are two Bronze Level neutral creatures that you currently need. I suggest choosing this one.]

[Behind this door is a high-temperature environment, which might be a bit dangerous for your pet.]

[Behind this door is a Bronze Level ordinary crop and some equipment.]

[Behind this door, there’s a group of Black Iron Level creatures, low difficulty, low reward, just pass.]

“No doubt, directly go for the Bronze creature room.”

Li Zheng decisively turned around, swiped his card, and left.

Perhaps the twelve blessings from Phoenix Mountain truly worked, as Li Zheng managed to connect five Bronze creature rooms in a row, directly collecting the blood materials needed for five types of Bronze 5+ potions.

Only eighteen vials of potion materials are needed to reach the limit of 5+ in all four-dimensional attributes.

Li Zheng glanced at the materials list, there weren’t many types, only six, and making three vials from each would be enough.

“Hope it can be achieved tonight.”

As he was preparing to swipe his card in front of a room marked as a materials room, an alert for a private message popped up.

Today’s remaining exploration opportunities: 2

The private chat was from Phoenix Mountain, containing many details about his latest development of genetic ability.

Li Zheng briefly summarized it.

Similar to what Phoenix Mountain mentioned before, it explains that after the previous genetic ability reaches full level, subsequent ability development won’t wash away the previous one, even if negative effects are triggered.

Conversely, if the previous ability is not at full level, even if it’s just a sliver away, using another attribute’s development tool that triggers negative effects will still wash away the previous ability.

It could be described as returning to the starting point.

This reminded Li Zheng of Lin Feng, who was beaten to death last night.

Three Gene Abilities!

Before successfully developing all three gene abilities, Li Zheng estimated that many abilities were probably washed away due to negative states.

Clearly, with Lin Feng’s character, he was quite “greedy,” unwilling to enhance only one genetic ability, and his opportunistic nature would certainly bet on the chances of multiple abilities.

Of course, his luck wasn’t great, as evidenced by his repaired legs after being broken.

Li Zheng sharply spotted the hidden meaning in the intelligence from Phoenix Mountain and sent a private chat inquiry: “Failed?”

Phoenix Mountain calmly replied: “Well, not exactly. It’s just that both 2% and 30% probabilities triggered again, and just one second after acquiring the ability, it got washed away.”

“Again?”

Li Zheng found this word quite glaring, almost feeling the golden light flashing.

That is… the light of luck.

“Yeah, I ate two types of genetic development tools on the first day in the Matrix.” Phoenix Mountain briefly explained the Ice Heart Fruit and Flame Flower.

He said how he used the Ice Heart Fruit to clear ten rooms on the first day within two hours.

“…..”

After reading all the information, Li Zheng fell into a long silence: “So, up till now, you have consumed three different attribute development tools, all of them Silver Level, and even all triggered the 2% success rate?”

Phoenix Mountain: “Yeah, is there a problem?”

Li Zheng pondered for a few seconds and asked: “Compared to the dreadfully low success rate, you’ve only trigged the 30% probability of negative effects twice?”

Phoenix Mountain: “Yeah, is there a problem?”

Li Zheng pondered a few seconds again and asked: “And none of the negative effects inflicted damage on yourself, merely washed away the newly developed genetic ability?”

Phoenix Mountain: “Yeah, is there a problem?”

[The other party has added you to the blacklist for: five minutes.]

Phoenix Mountain: “???”

[You have a new directed transaction.]

Phoenix Mountain opened the trading hall to find that Li Zheng had sent him a vial of a viscous liquid.

He glanced at the name: Abyssal Serotonin.

Tier: Gold Level.

Seller’s message: Aren’t you impressive? Aren’t you the lucky one? Drink this, and let’s see if you can succeed!

“….?”

Phoenix Mountain didn’t understand why there’s anything to be angry about, he considered his luck quite bad, can that be called being lucky?

He would rather the two triggered negative effects had injured him, at least then, he could rely on medical equipment to heal.

But these two triggers felt like giving hope and then directly crushing it, which felt worse.

…

Twenty minutes later, Li Zheng received a private message from Phoenix Mountain:

“Damn it, where did you get this stuff? It tastes so bad, like swallowing a big gulp of thick phlegm, nearly choked me to death!”

“…”

Li Zheng replied: “Did you… succeed again?”

It took a while for Phoenix Mountain to respond: “Not this time.”

“Phew.”

For some reason, Li Zheng actually felt relieved, as if a weight had been lifted off his shoulders.

“Then it’s fine. I need to continue exploring, bye.”

He didn’t pay more attention to Phoenix Mountain and left after swiping the card.

On the sixth day, in the ninth room, Li Zheng collected all the scattered materials and took them back to his residence.

On the other side, Phoenix Mountain stared at the new ability “Abyssal Bloodline” displayed on his ability panel, deep in thought.

Is it possible that the reason I always exchanged bottle caps with “Get Another Bottle” from childhood is that I’m a lucky one?

Should I reveal the truth to him?

Forget it, better not to tell Li Zheng, lest he gets upset.

…

Having packed up the materials in this room, Li Zheng hadn’t even had time to scan the other metallic doors when two more private messages arrived.

[You’ve had incredibly good luck, as you just sent out two offspring today, each of them found a special room.]

“Is this… even possible?”

Li Zheng opened the private chat panel to find messages from Xiao Siyuan and Li Chun.

The content was the same, screenshots of special room prompts.
