Chapter 431: Chapter 369 Radium Element Get!
Having dinner with Xiao Ying, it was already past eight in the evening, and the world channel came alive.
Li Zheng opened the regional channel, which was as deserted as a ghost channel, clearly indicating he had nothing much to chat about with Yuanfei Yuluo.
However, things were lively in the private messages. Messages from Phoenix Mountain and others asking if he was up for the challenge event today; from folks who attended the auction wanting to buy items from Li Zheng; and from Liu Qi and Tang Qianzang inquiring about how many cultivation dishes he could sell them.
Li Zheng first handled Liu Qi and Tang Qianzang’s issues, informing them that making cultivation dishes takes time and it would be some days before he could deliver, asking them to be patient.
Li Zheng had made up his mind: a hundred units to Kunlun, thirty to Nine Heavens.
A total of a hundred and thirty cultivation dishes, continually crafting them would take nearly an hour—Li Zheng was certainly busy all day.
With those two settled, Li Zheng picked out a few more agreeable characters and closed several more deals.
Most were for flying devices and Technology Cups, and Li Zheng accepted no other orders.
Some people inquired about the final auction item, which Li Zheng ignored.
After handling everything, Li Zheng noticed an interesting guy.
The head of Night Rose.
"Mr. Li, I just tested Alice’s performance, can you tell me which popular streamer’s voice was inputted? Why does it sound so... so... offputting?"
Li Zheng couldn’t help but chuckle after reading this private message, glancing at the sender’s name: Frank.
"Frank, just search for Zhou Shufen in the live streaming interface and you’ll know. Before entering the Matrix, this streamer was a top star in our country with tens of millions of followers, quite popular."
"Zhou Shufen?" Frank repeated the name: "I’ll go and take a look."
Upon searching and entering Zhou Shufen’s live stream, Frank realized Li Zheng wasn’t lying. At this time, the Matrix entertainment was at its peak, with Zhou Shufen’s stream boasting a million viewers!
Her popularity was even more than Li Zheng had described.
Without blocking the barrage, the live picture was invisible, only hearing a somewhat familiar screechy voice loudly proclaim, "The glamorous world is deceiving, don’t show your face if you lack strength."
"High heels and tight pants, remember to call me Sister Zhou!"
Hearing the voice, Frank shuddered all over, his face turning pale.
Earlier, cradling the household robot named Alice, he was up for something different.
But unexpectedly, this voice emerged suddenly, scaring him limp on the spot.
Now he’s struggling to recover.
Looking at that screen full of barrage, Frank was virtually questioning reality: "A streamer with such a horrible voice, why do people enjoy watching them? Are they masochists?"
Curious, he tried disabling the barrage in the live room.
The next instant, a female with a cleanly washed face, razor-sharp ponytail, fair and smooth skin, exquisite features, clad in camouflage gear appeared before him.
Frank’s brain flooded with dopamine, a sensation called "love" sprouted deep within, a sweet sense of joy emerged.
Even the previously drooping brother felt some revitalization!
This beauty, far surpasses Alice in terms of allure!
Frank almost wanted to shout at the top of his lungs: "Mom, I’m in love!"
However, as soon as the girl spoke, that sensation vanished without a trace.
The brother’s spirit waned even further, dopamine reversed its path, incidentally equipping the brain with two thick iron plates, firmly welded in place.
A sudden urge to take monastic vows sprouted in his heart, Frank nearly believed he had unconsciously mastered Dragon Country’s Buddhist Family’s Great Compassion Mantra.
"Oh~~~ fuck!!!!!!!" Frank clutched his hair tightly, struggling to accept the fact that such a delightful girl possessed such a voice.
"My sister can’t take it!"
"Why?!"
"Why did God grant her such looks, yet give her this voice?"
"Why!!!!!!!" He suddenly recalled the earlier screen full of barrage, reopening it to find that despite containing various languages, they all translated to the same lament: Couldn’t she just remain silent!
"Did you find it?" Li Zheng shot a private message asking: "Isn’t she beautiful? Zhou Shufen has the glorious title of Counter-Rebel Warrior in our country!"
"Heh... ha ha ha ha..." Frank laughed tragically in response, "This is the first woman in my life I wish I could personally silence!"
"Then I can only advise you not to act on it," Li Zheng replied with a smile, "Silence one, and I will wipe out Black Rose!"
Frank felt a chill down his spine, knowing Li Zheng would follow through, leaving them likely without a chance to resist.
"Just... joking, Mr. Li, don’t take it seriously." Frank instantly gave in, reluctantly asking, "Can I at least return that intelligent humanoid?"
"You guess," Li Zheng replied with only two words.
Want to return it?
Do you think this is some kind of...
Taobao?
Seven-day no-questions-asked return policy?
Dream on!
"Then... can you help me swap it? I really can’t handle this voice!" Frank offered an alternative.
"You guess."
Exchanges aren’t within the service range either.
Strictly speaking...
Li Zheng’s sold items had never come with after-sales service.
Ever since Zhan Zhouzhou’s "roll" word initially, Li Zheng determinedly shredded the spirit of service and discarded it in the trash.
Phoenix was quite familiar with this sentiment.
"At least you could turn off or remove the voice system, right?" Frank pleaded.
Can’t simply let those thirty-odd Thunder Element items go to waste, can I?
"I can’t," Li Zheng replied, "Either figure it out yourself or try dismantling her head, though once that’s done, she’ll likely be irreparably damaged."
"..." Knowing he couldn’t gain any advantage from Li Zheng, Frank bluntly asked, "Then, Mr. Li, can you sell me a few cultivation dishes?"
You see, the fox tail’s starting to show?
Li Zheng sported a mysterious smile: "No."
Frank wasn’t the first to be refused and wouldn’t be the last.
Indeed, selling cultivation dishes could reap significant resources.
But... after one auction, Li Zheng wasn’t lacking in such things anymore.
Comparatively, controlling these foreign players’ capabilities was more advantageous.
However, it wasn’t that no other participant at the auction had acquired cultivation dishes.
Wu Hao was the sole player besides Liu Qi and Tang Qianzang to purchase cultivation dishes from Li Zheng.
Li Zheng agreed to sell him five units not out of patriotic camaraderie.
But in exchange for fifty units of Radium Element.
Otherwise, Wu Hao would have been like the others, unable to purchase even a single cultivation dish from Li Zheng.
"With Radium Element, I can finally repair those broken Active Cores I saved up all this time."
Li Zheng toyed with an irregular piece of blue fluorescent hard stone in his hand.
