Chapter 454: Chapter 393: This will be a massacre
After roughly assessing the gains and ensuring nothing was missed, Li Zheng jumped into bed to sleep.
In the middle of the night, perhaps as some form of retribution, Li Zheng was woken up several times by the ugly farmer. Each time, the Flame Flower matured, prompting him to get up and eat it quickly.
As a result, these disturbances caused him to sleep until eleven before finally waking up.
Raising his head, he was somewhat curious as to why little Sakura hadn’t called him today. Just then, he met the lazy, drowsy eyes of the little one which had just woken up and was stretching.
It seemed that waking it up repeatedly yesterday made it even more tired, as it got up later than usual.
However, this wouldn’t happen today, as there was no auction today.
After a somewhat unsatisfying sleep, Li Zheng’s spiritual power, which was consumed yesterday, recovered a lot. Although not reaching full state, it was enough to last him through the day.
Aside from spiritual power, his physical strength and original force were fully restored, making him feel quite energetic.
Getting up, washing up, breakfast.
The Bloodthirsty Demon Blade followed him the whole time, walking in step like a little pest.
As a qualified sword that protects its master, it should always stay by the master’s side.
Of course, the Bloodthirsty Demon Blade hadn’t protected any master before; this was its first time doing so, and it could only do the opposite of its past experiences.
’Anyway, doing the opposite must be right.’ the Bloodthirsty Demon Blade thought.
Once everything was ready, Li Zheng walked out of his residence and received a private message from Zhan Zhouzhou.
"Awake?"
This was to test if Li Zheng got up, indicating she had already looked for him more than once.
"Finally awake, as promised yesterday, use all exploration on the event and eliminate the mutated bodies to the limit as soon as possible."
Zhan Zhouzhou straightforwardly expressed her intention.
Li Zheng lowered his head and thought for a while: "Alright, just wait for me a bit, about ten minutes."
After a brief exchange with Zhan Zhouzhou, Li Zheng returned to his residence and gulped down the Platinum Level potions he prepared overnight.
"Yuck~ It’s too sweet!" Li Zheng made a disgusted face as the higher the tier of the genetic potion, the sweeter it got.
Drinking a Platinum Level potion was like drinking a tube of pure syrup.
He couldn’t imagine how sweet a Diamond Level potion would taste.
Pinching his nose and enduring the greasy nausea, Li Zheng finally drank all the Platinum Level potions, boosting his physical condition to the average Platinum 2+ limit.
"Now, the players who can kill Platinum creatures are mostly in those organizations." Li Zheng thought and then crafted fifty electromagnetic coils and five electromagnetic pistols, contacting Liu Qi Shao.
Not long after sending the information about the two items, Liu Qi Shao replied, asking: "What’s the price?"
Li Zheng didn’t hesitate and sent over a list: "I want these blood materials, one coil for thirty bottles, one electromagnetic pistol for one hundred and twenty bottles, any problems?"
The electromagnetic pistol was just a Platinum Level weapon, its power was significantly higher than that of average Platinum Level pistols, but it was ineffective against certain special creatures.
For example, plants and golems, so the price wasn’t particularly outrageous.
"Coil for twenty, pistol for a hundred, if that’s okay, let’s trade. I’ll take them all." Liu Qi Shao replied with a price.
Li Zheng thought for a bit: "Deal!"
The actual price of the coils should indeed be more than twice as high because yesterday one coil could be traded for an ability development tool of the same tier.
However, the quantity Li Zheng released this time was too much, and knowing he had the blueprints, Liu Qi Shao forced the price down.
Li Zheng was also in a hurry, unwilling to haggle, and simply agreed, considering it support for a fellow countryman.
Soon, the two completed the transaction, and Li Zheng gained a stack of the Platinum Level blood he needed, enough to push his physique to Platinum 5+ limit and still have some left.
Originally, he wanted to contact Liu Qi Shao for the trade last night, but opening the treasure chest took too long, and the other party was already resting.
It wasn’t too late to trade now, as after killing the first mutated body, he could finish all the potions, stepping into Diamond Level, and opening two Prel’s Eyes.
As for the host choices for the two Prel’s Eyes, Li Zheng had made up his mind, giving one to Phoenix Mountain and the other to Misaka Tsuchiemon.
The reason for giving one to Misaka Tsuchiemon was to facilitate his mischief, ensuring that with Prel’s Eye, Misaka Tsuchiemon could maximize the gains from his explorations.
This way, Li Zheng saved himself a lot of trouble, avoiding getting approached for support whenever Misaka had problems.
Moreover, to some extent, Prel’s Eye could help identify spies.
As for how to specifically use it, it depended on whether Misaka Tsuchiemon’s brain was sharp enough.
After arranging the potion production order, Li Zheng casually grabbed two Gold Level Fire Element fruits, popped one into his mouth, held the other, and walked out of his residence.
"Alright, notify everyone, gather up!"
Li Zheng issued a notice in the temporary group, reminding everyone to set aside their tasks, mainly targeting Feng and Yan.
Those two just patched up their relationship and were in the heat of passion; who knew what they were up to with nothing to do?
Soon, several people in the group sent signals one by one, indicating they were ready to start the challenge anytime. Only then did Li Zheng take out the event ticket.
"Little Blade, today it’s up to you."
Before teleporting, Li Zheng instructed the Bloodthirsty Demon Blade behind him, prompting a crisp sound from Zhenzhen.
Next second, teleport!
Target: Mutated Body No. 25!
Following the plan, Li Zheng led the team, using all ten explorations of the day on the event.
Because of Yan Guang, Phoenix Mountain, and Lin Fengjiao’s lack of strength, Li Zheng was the main force almost all the time, with Zhan Zhouzhou and little Sakura assisting.
With the Bloodthirsty Demon Blade in hand, these mutated bodies, which often had Extraordinary Level strength, were almost no match for Li Zheng and his team.
Moreover, since these mutated bodies generally had gigantified physiques, containing a lot of blood within, the Bloodthirsty Demon Blade had a great time drinking all day long.
Having ample blood nourishment, the sharpness of the Bloodthirsty Demon Blade kept enhancing, making chopping up mutated bodies a breeze.
Occasionally encountering tough challenges, Li Zheng cooperated with Yan Guang to execute a "nuclear explosion" and take them down in one round.
If that didn’t work, the opponent would be heavily injured, and Li Zheng would fly in and finish them off, similarly light and pleasant.
However, in this situation, the Bloodthirsty Demon Blade had a few complaints.
The explosive ability would vaporize some of the target’s blood, affecting its gains.
The actions of Li Zheng’s team, cutting down mutated bodies like slicing melons, led to the world channel continuously refreshing with announcements of their kills.
The accumulated kill points of their team had reached an intimidating level.
"What’s going on today? Did Li Zheng take some medicine? Going so strong?"
"Is there some vendetta or grudfe? Is this a pace to wipe out all mutated bodies?"
"So awesome, Li Zheng sir... No, Li Zheng god, living up to being my idol!"
"Damn, he showed off all the time, what am I showing off? Playing dumb?"
"Just showing off!"
"Anyone with clear eyes can easily see who’s really showing off, feeling so sour, met a lemon spirit?"
"Go dad go!"
...
The announcements on the world channel caused a heated discussion, with many uninformed players thinking that Li Zheng and the others have already amassed enough points and didn’t need to continue challenging mutated bodies, just calmly wait for the event to end.
Some players speculated if there was some backstage information on this event. Like, the higher the points, the better the final reward?
Few believed that Li Zheng and the others simply couldn’t stand the sight of the mutated bodies and wanted to take this chance to eliminate them all!
This matter not only caused ordinary players to discuss, but also alerted various organizations, with some responsible persons even setting up a temporary group to discuss it.
