Chapter 379: It’s too late today, and it hasn’t been modified yet.
Similarly, the materials for the flying devices can only be obtained after the event ends.
Even if the price was agreed upon, Liu Qi Shao was still afraid Li Zheng might back out, so he insisted on signing an agreement with him, which was notarized by the Matrix Terminal before he felt at ease.
This resulted in Li Zheng’s event tickets being locked, preventing him from entering even if he wanted to.
The agreement taking effect also meant that after a few days, Li Zheng would gain access to eleven sets of flying device materials, in addition to two Spatial Wondrous Stones.
The reason it was eleven sets was because four of them were traded under the names of other team members, and they had to be honored.
What?
Is the asking price three times the basic material cost?
Is that really the case?
Did Li Zheng ever disclose the quantity of materials required for the flying devices?
He’s using this opportunity for his own gains, earning extra, isn’t that right?
Otherwise, why is procurement the most profitable position in every company?
With this agreement, Li Zheng even considered taking advantage of the moment while everyone was present to directly cash in the flying devices.
"The agreement notarized by the terminal is binding for both parties, with no opportunity to breach. You have to fulfill it!" Li Zheng was preparing to distribute four flying devices when he suddenly remembered something.
"If either party in the agreement dies, the agreement seems to become void. If Liu Qi Shao were to meet King Yama in the next few days, wouldn’t I be making a huge loss if I give out the flying devices now?"
"You don’t have to give them if you don’t want to, but saying it out loud like this is a bit much, right?" Phoenix Mountain said with a resentful tone.
Li Zheng snapped back to reality, embarrassed: "Did I just blurt out my thoughts again?"
"What do you think?" Zhan Zhouzhou also stared at him directly.
"Oh dear~" Li Zheng chuckled awkwardly: "How embarrassing."
Zhan Zhouzhou didn’t continue on that topic but addressed Li Zheng’s concern: "If you’re worried Liu Qi Shao might die, there’s no need with the Ma Long brothers around; it’s hard for him to die."
A female fighter previously mentioned that even she wasn’t a match for the three of them, and even if Liu Qi Shao just acted as an experience sponge without doing anything, Ma Long and the others could ensure his survival.
Li Zheng scratched his head: "What do you know? This is called crisis awareness."
"I think you’re overthinking it." Zhan Zhouzhou rolled her eyes at him, stood up, and said: "Anyway, this event is beyond us, let’s head back early. We still have exploration today."
"Wait!"
Li Zheng called out to her and tossed over a brand new flying device: "Hold onto it carefully, if you break it, I won’t provide repair service."
"Thanks." Zhan Zhouzhou caught the flying device, patted it twice, and left.
Li Zheng took out three more and handed them to Phoenix Mountain and the others: "One for each."
"Hehe, I’ve been eyeing this thing for a long time without extra materials; today I finally got one." Phoenix Mountain hugged the flying device, his face full of joy.
"What a character!" Yan Guang picked him up by the shoulder: "Let’s go too."
The two of them left together.
Compared to the others, what Yan Guang gained barely broke even.
If it weren’t for Yu Xiaoyu’s sake, she wouldn’t be this nice.
After they left, Lin Fengjiao handed over the flying device to Li Zheng: "I can’t accept this..."
A team of five challenged five events in total over two days, and she barely fought, feeling guilty about taking it.
Li Zheng didn’t take it: "It’s yours, so keep it. If you really don’t want it, give it to Old Xiao when you go back."
"Well..." Lin Fengjiao hesitated for two seconds, then put away the flying device: "Alright, thank you, Brother Li."
"No need for thanks, let’s go." Li Zheng casually waved with Sakura by his side, leaving the event.
Back in the morning’s room, Li Zheng immediately took out the tickets to confirm and found that they were locked and couldn’t be used to enter the event replica.
At this point, a world channel announcement appeared, stating that Ma Long Squad finally defeated Mutant #34.
Afterward, they only needed to take down Mutant #30, #31, and #32 to surpass Li Zheng and his team in kill points.
Assuming no one else competes with them.
After all, no one knows how many experts are among the players.
Looking at the door previously chosen, the detection info remained unchanged.
Not rushing to explore, Li Zheng first cleaned off the dirt on him, refreshing himself with a change of clothes before starting again.
At this moment, he no longer carried the flying device; during the recent battle with Mutant #33, he had basically mastered the use of the Demon Thunder Wings, and now was the prime time to test them.
"Wings·Expand!"
With a thought, dazzling lightning wings directly pierced through his clothes, appearing on Li Zheng’s back.
With each wing spanning three point two meters, fully expanded, Li Zheng was reminded of a game he used to play.
"Looks just like those light pollution wings in that legendary game, except mine can actually fly."
Li Zheng closed his eyes to experience and seek control of the wings from not long ago.
Not much time had passed since the battle ended, making it easy for him to retrieve the feeling, as he gently moved one wing behind him.
"Such a peculiar feeling." Li Zheng’s face showed a strange expression, feeling the lightning wings seemed to be an organ of his body.
As he became more familiar, it felt no different from his limbs.
It was as if those wings had originally grown on his back, just that he hadn’t attempted to move them before.
