Chapter 144: Chapter 134: Preparing to Depart: Mist Island!

Li Zheng looked through the information for both rooms.

What Old Xiao discovered is called “Mist Island”.

What Li Chun found is the “Underworld”.

“Just right, their strengths are relatively low compared to others. These two instances can be interchanged, and we can call in two players with higher combat strength to cooperate. In three hours tops, we can wrap things up, and they can also collect more materials to improve their strength,” Li Zheng pondered for a moment and looked at the time; it was almost 2 PM.

“Old Prel, how many more explorations do those two have?” Li Zheng asked Old Prel, thinking if they still had many explorations left, he might have to give up on this plan to not affect today’s progress.

[Xiao Siyuan has two more times.

Li Chun has three more left.]

Old Prel can connect to each sub-body, so of course, he knows all the information intimately, quickly giving a response.

Li Zheng nodded; the remaining explorations are not many, so it shouldn’t affect the plan.

After sending inquiry messages to both Xiao Siyuan and Li Chun and receiving affirmative replies from both to explore together, Li Zheng began reaching out to two other players.

As for the selection, he already had candidates in mind.

…

Ten minutes later, Old Xiao activated the group Jumping Device, and a Teleportation Gate appeared before Li Zheng.

After stepping inside, Li Zheng saw Xiao Siyuan in full camouflage uniform with a dark face, looking rather displeased.

This dark… was truly dark.

Li Zheng pretended not to notice Old Xiao’s appearance and cheerfully greeted, “Yo yo yo, isn’t it Old Xiao? Haven’t seen you for two days, why so dark?”

Old Xiao’s face darkened further hearing this: “You still have the cheek to ask! It’s all thanks to that Deep Sea Fruit of yours, almost made me puke my guts out when I ate it.

Once the ability was developed, my skin turned out like this.”

While Xiao Siyuan was speaking, his face, comparable to black charcoal, showed two sets of bright white teeth, which looked very comical.

“Pfft~”

Li Zheng couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

“Ying Ying.”

The little Sakura on his shoulder looked at Xiao Siyuan, showing a sympathetic expression.

It understood Old Xiao’s mood very well now.

“Shoo shoo shoo, you still think it’s funny!” Old Xiao came over, pushed him grumpily, making way for the Teleportation Gate.

Li Zheng took the opportunity to step aside, observing Xiao Siyuan’s current attributes, focusing on the genetic abilities he gained.

[Black Water Healing

Tier: Gold

Type: Healing

Level Lv1

exp: 0/100

Description: Can coalesce Black Water with healing effects, suitable for internal and external application, with excellent results.

Note: Black Water is not thirst-quenching.

Note: For fractured bones, they need to be set first, only then the Black Water takes effect.]

“At least the developed genetic ability isn’t too bad,” Li Zheng muttered under his breath.

Of course, Xiao Siyuan heard this and wasn’t surprised at all.

After all, Prel’s Eye was given to him by the other party, so Li Zheng could see through his information without any problem.

Yet, he was puzzled because his Prel’s Eye couldn’t see through Li Zheng.

Prelis’ Eye suppresses all sub-bodies, so it’s normal he can’t see Li Zheng’s attributes.

Just as Li Zheng stepped aside for a moment, the Teleportation Gate suddenly expanded threefold, and Li Chun rode out from it on a Five-Colored Xuan Poison Spider.

As soon as she came out, the young girl cheerfully greeted Li Zheng, “Hello, Big Brother Li Zheng.”

Xiao Siyuan looked at her with a strange expression: “It’s understandable I can’t see Li Zheng’s attributes, but why can’t I detect this little girl’s either?”

Li Chun turned her head to see Old Xiao, widening her eyes in amazement: “Uncle, are you African American?”

“Af… African American?”

Xiao Siyuan was slightly stunned, then turned and glared at Li Zheng: “What the hell! I’m pure-blood Asian!”

“Asian?”

The young girl thought for a moment, then hopped down from the little spider and handed a bottle of whitening facial foam to Old Xiao: “Uncle, you must’ve sunbathed a lot before, right? This facial foam works wonders, it’s for you.”

“…”

Xiao Siyuan looked at Li Chun’s innocent, genuine gaze and accepted the facial foam with a face full of chagrin: “Thanks.”

Li Chun smiled happily and said, “You’re welcome. You’re Brother Li Zheng’s friend, so you’re my friend too. Isn’t it right for friends to help each other?”

After speaking, she went hopping over to stand beside Li Zheng with her little spider.

Li Chun tugged on his sleeve and quietly asked, “Big Brother, did you also give this uncle Prelis’ Eye?”

Li Zheng was a bit surprised: “How did you know?”

The young girl’s eyes curled into crescents with a smile: “Because Ayan couldn’t detect his attributes.”

“Ayan?”

Li Zheng smiled and ruffled her hair: “Smart girl.”

“Heehee.”

Li Chun didn’t avoid it, looking up with a beaming face, seemingly proud that getting praised by Li Zheng was something very joyous.

On the other side, the Teleportation Gate opened again, and Yan Guang and Phoenix Mountain came out in succession.

Phoenix Mountain was the last one out, bumping right into Yan Guang, his face changing as he tried to leave again, only to run into the Teleportation Gate and was grabbed back by Yan Guang by the collar, just like lifting a cat.

Phoenix Mountain was so infuriated: “Li, didn’t you say Yan Guang wasn’t coming? What’s going on here? You deceived my feelings!

You bastard!”

Yan Guang’s eyebrows arched sharply, “What? I stopped being mad at you, and now you’re all cocky?”

“Pfft! You getting mad, I should be mad!” Phoenix Mountain broke free from the iron grip holding his collar and shouted with a stiff neck: “You clearly promised to help me handle my dad, and turned on me in less than ten seconds, you crazy woman!”

Yan Guang was amused, her slanted phoenix eyes narrowed, flashing with a mysterious gleam: “I’ve changed my mind now, isn’t it just helping you deal with your dad? I’ve got your back on this.”

“Eh?”

Phoenix Mountain was startled, his expression immediately changed to that of a fawning smile: “Really?”

“Of course, it’s true!”

“Not backing out this time?”

“Absolutely not!”

“Great!” Phoenix Mountain clapped his hands and shouted: “As long as you help me fool my old man, you just let me know what you want to eat or drink, I’ll cover everything!

Didn’t you need materials for those micro explosives?

I’ll get you a list of corresponding materials from explorations within five days and give you half!”

“We’ll talk about this later.”

Yan Guang’s inscrutable expression grew more pronounced, and some spectators noticed something was off, but Phoenix Mountain, being straightforward, hadn’t realized anything yet and was overjoyed by Yan Guang’s promise to help.

Li Zheng looked at the two, stopping his gaze on Phoenix Mountain, and his eyes instinctively narrowed, “This guy…”

“Huh? Why do I suddenly feel cold on my back?”

Phoenix Mountain shivered, then took out a whole durian from his residence, diligently peeled it, and offered it to Yan Guang: “Here, have some fruit.”

Yan Guang slightly frowned, seemingly resistant to durian, but seeing it was peeled by Phoenix Mountain personally, she suppressed her distaste and took a bite.

Even Li Chun noticed Yan Guang clearly didn’t like durian and whispered behind Li Zheng, “Brother Phoenix Mountain is so naive.”

Li Zheng turned around and corrected her, “That’s not called naive.”

“That’s called stupid.”
