Chapter 393: Chapter 335 Phoenix Mountain: I Don’t Need a Woman’s Protection!
After signing the unequal agreement with Phoenix Mountain, this time no such person as Butcher appeared, the agreement is absolutely unbreakable. Li Zheng is not at all worried about not getting the Outer City ticket when the event ends.
The only person who is utterly confused is Yan Guang. She unknowingly got pulled into the water by Li Zheng, as Phoenix Mountain sold her ticket along with his.
"Wait... I’m just realizing it now, you two made a deal, how did my share get dragged into it too?"
Although the other party couldn’t see him, Li Zheng shrugged his shoulders: "Go ask Phoenix Mountain, he signed the agreement, and the terminal has authenticated it."
Yan Guang was puzzled: "I didn’t sign anything, how did the terminal bypass my wishes and automatically assume I agreed?"
With her saying that, Li Zheng also realized that this transaction was not just between him and Phoenix Mountain, but actually a deal among three people.
Logically, the agreement should have been signed in two copies, why didn’t the terminal consider Yan Guang’s opinion?
Could it be that the two of them had been together for too long, and the terminal automatically considered them as one?
It’s possible.
Li Zheng scratched his chin vigorously, feeling that once again the terminal was giving him preferential treatment, secretly making things easier for him.
But he had no evidence.
Phoenix Mountain had already received the serotonin sent by Li Zheng and was overjoyed, fearing Yan Guang might mess up the deal, and scolded her immediately: "Crazy woman, have you any idea how much advantage you’ve been taking of me day after day, really not counting at all? Now I take some of your stuff to exchange for a power-boosting artifact, and you’re not satisfied?"
"You!"
Yan Guang’s eyes widened in anger, almost spitting out a dirty word starting with ’S’, but she held her temper and said: "Are you stupid? How could you sell items that can be exchanged for an Extraordinary level artifact with just a few bottles of gold and platinum items?"
"And sold two at once!"
Yu Xiaoyu, who had just returned, perked up upon hearing this: "What Extraordinary level artifact? What are you talking about? Event rewards?"
She knew that Phoenix Mountain joined the group and signed an agreement with her cousin, but she was not aware that the agreement had already been dissolved.
"It’s none of your business." Yan Guang quickly corrected her slip of the tongue in a dismissive tone, switching to private communication with Phoenix Mountain.
"I know you’re eager to enhance your power, but you can’t be this generous, right?"
"Generous?" Phoenix Mountain snapped: "How could I not be generous to quickly boost my power? Huh??"
"Do you know how long my power has stagnated since you and Yu Xiaoyu came along? My power ranking is about to drop out of the top fifteen, don’t you know?"
"You saw it during the event these days, Li Zheng and Zhan Zhouzhou are already much stronger than me."
"I can only stand behind them now, accepting their protection!"
"Did you know I used to be on the same level as them?"
"Could fight alongside them!"
"This serotonin is the fastest artifact I’ve found to enhance power, even if I bankrupt myself again, I have to get it!"
"Not to mention the unrevealed rewards that I haven’t gotten yet! What’s actually in hand is the best for me!"
"If you’re unhappy with my decision this time, then leave early and don’t follow me!"
Phoenix Mountain’s long-repressed anger due to stagnation erupted in response to Yan Guang’s criticism, stunning Yan Guang on the spot.
"But... I can protect you." Yan Guang said dumbfoundedly: "Even if you fall behind in power, I will not..."
Phoenix Mountain suddenly burst out angrily, no longer talking via private message, shouting directly: "I don’t want to stand under a woman’s skirt!"
After yelling, he snorted angrily, opened the capsule residence, went inside, and forcefully slammed the door shut.
The heavy, loud slamming of the door was like a hit directly in Yan Guang’s heart, making her feel unprecedentedly aggrieved, as if a huge stone was blocking inside, choking her.
This was the first time Phoenix Mountain had exhibited such behavior since they started interacting, even when she provoked him in the past, he never got so seriously angry.
For a moment, Yan Guang was at a loss.
"Sigh..." Yu Xiaoyu sighed quietly: "Yan sister, you still don’t understand Phoenix Mountain brother."
Yan Guang suddenly realized that indeed, she had always thought about how to get Phoenix Mountain, but never thought about what he needed from his perspective.
Never fully understanding what kind of person Phoenix Mountain really was.
"You’re right, I really don’t understand him."
Looking at the tightly closed door, Yan Guang said softly.
...
"Come, come, Little Sakura, these two things are much smaller than the Earth Dragon Crystal Core, let’s eat them first!" Li Zheng took out two peach-sized crystal cores, extracted from the armored dragon turtle by the Butcher.
"Awoo?" The flying Little Sakura suddenly froze mid-air, almost falling down.
"What are you staring at? Get down quickly!" Li Zheng urged.
Only then did Little Sakura reluctantly land in front of Li Zheng, looking miserable.
With its ambitious nature, having something that can enhance power, it should have been happy.
But right before Butcher appeared, it was munching on the Earth Dragon Crystal Core, and now its stomach was so full it couldn’t fit anything else.
In a way, Li Zheng’s ability to spoil a pet with an ambitious nature to this extent is also a skill...
"Here, take it, these are quality items that can bypass genetic ability development determination and initiate new abilities." Li Zheng shoved the two crystal cores into Little Sakura’s hands, not caring at all about what the little guy thought.
Little Sakura stared blankly at the two cores, which together were not as big as a single Earth Dragon Crystal Core, and indeed easier to finish.
However, there’s one thing Li Zheng didn’t mention, only the first armored dragon turtle core can develop abilities, while the second can only be used for upgrades.
From this, the superiority of the two types of cores is clear, Earth Dragon Cores each have a chance to develop new abilities.
With everything in its hands, Little Sakura had no choice but to eat reluctantly.
As it turned with Pink Poli to digest and make room in its stomach, Li Zheng muttered to himself in a way that made the few black hairs on its body stand up straight.
"Zhan Zhouzhou kills many High Tier creatures every day, right? Ask her if she has High Tier crystal cores, trade them over to boost Little Sakura’s power."
Upcoming events require killing tough mutations, only by enhancing power as much as possible or diversifying tactics can one hope to gain kill points, Li Zheng naturally wouldn’t miss out on Zhan Zhouzhou’s inventory.
However, after inquiring, it turned out Zhan Zhouzhou had sold all acquired cores cheaply to Li Chun, so Li Chun could use them to nurture Little Spider.
Knowing this, Li Zheng felt a bit regretful, he should have communicated with her earlier.
Little Sakura was overjoyed, narrowly escaping.
