Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day-Chapter 901 - 638: The Blacksmith Returns, Lamp Holder’s Enhancement Complete!
"Where are we heading next?"
As they walked out of Menghua Pavilion, Mirel asked.
"First, let's head to the black market in District Seven. The fertilizing gland fluid isn't enough to make so much cultivation liquid, we need to buy some." Li Zheng turned his head, continuing deeper into the factory area.
A few days ago, while accompanying Mirel shopping, he had already pinpointed the location of the black market, so he knew the way well.
The black market in District Seven is situated at the deepest part of the factory area, comprising three parallel narrow alleys, where roads crisscross and the terrain is intricate.
This is to make it easier for the Law Enforcement Team to send out missions, allowing the black market merchants to seize the opportunity to flee.
On the way, Li Zheng took out two cloaks, one each for him and Mirel, to conceal their appearance.
These two cloaks were bought just a few days ago; their tier is low, and their defense is extremely poor.
They have only one purpose, which is to hide identities.
The feature of this cloak is exceedingly powerful. Regardless of how large or small the user's physique is, once cloaked, it will transform into a uniform appearance, and even the voice will be altered.
After buying the cloak, Li Zheng realized how those races with gigantic bodies in the Outer City managed to move around; apparently, the hood that the terminal uses to forcibly conceal the appearance of each player during missions had a prototype.
The fertilizing gland fluid produced by the leaf-eating ants is not considered a good commodity in the Outer City. After all, if the botanical garden dares to use this stuff, certain precious plants are just waiting to be taken away.
Potential once drained, let alone flowering and fruiting, perhaps even the leaves might drop.
Only those small in scale, with lower tier crops and high yields, and cheap original plant prices botanical gardens would purchase this material in bulk.
Why not buy cultivation liquid then?
The price of fertilizing gland fluid is less than one-tenth of intermediate cultivation liquid, yet its short-term effects aren't too far off; cost-wise, a lot of money can be saved.
Of course, the benefits of expensive cultivation liquid must exist.
Not only does it avoid draining a plant's potential that easily.
On the contrary, cultivation liquid also has a chance to lead to plant mutation, making the effects even better. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
It's just that these mutations are rather luck-based; Foolish Farmer has been busy for Li Zheng for so long and still hasn't produced a plant above Star Shining tier.
Entering the black market, he found a store that sells raw materials and spent a hundred Red Crystal Coins, directly taking away a whole bunch of bottles and cans filled with fertilizing gland fluid.
Once stored into his capsule residence, it just filled up an entire layer, finally bringing some sense of fullness to Li Zheng's capsule.
Li Zheng estimates that by purchasing so many things at once, he's helped the shop owner save warehouse space, and the other party was delighted, escorting him and Mirel out of the black market, only returning after seeing them off from afar.
This was called enthusiasm.
In the following days, Li Zheng threw himself into the guest rooms of the blacksmith shop, busying with the orders from Menghua Pavilion. Making cultivation liquid is not like making other things; Li Zheng is exploring a shortcut.
As long as the material ratio is right, the production volume can reach two liters!
Theoretically, the yield can continue to increase, but Li Zheng doesn't hurry; he proceeds with slow production.
In his leisure time, he accompanies Mirel for a stroll, unwinding, and conveniently heads to Menghua Pavilion to hand over the finished cultivation liquid.
Busy back and forth for eight days, he completed transactions for all two hundred thousand portions of cultivation liquid.
While Li Zheng was busy, the blacksmith's disciples who went out to collect materials also returned, each full of confidence in the challenge given by the blacksmith this time.
Li Zheng originally wanted to watch and learn.
But they didn't give him any chance; after coming back, they all went into the back of the blacksmith shop, busy with their own production.
During this time, Zhan Zhouzhou came over concerning the registration funds for opening a store because he still needs to buy a house and a factory. The Red Crystal Coins Li Zheng had were far from enough, so he had to settle for the registration of the store first.
Li Zheng invited Le Jia while accompanying Mirel around that side, and she agreed without a second thought, but her legs shook like a sieve, clearly unwillingly.
Over time, Li Zheng believes that as they interact more, Le Jia will understand what kind of person he is, telling her to find Zhan Zhouzhou on Fourth Street and mention his name then left her to her devices.
That day, the day agreed with the blacksmith to deliver the Lamp Holder arrived, early in the morning, he and Mirel got up and anxiously waited in the blacksmith shop.
He was so bored that he inventoried the situation in the three beast cages.
In the forest wolf section, there were two pregnant female wolves; apart from the previously mutated Wolf King, four more forest wolves had mutated.
One had emerald green fur all over, with leaf-patterns appearing around its wolf claws as it walked.
This one has awakened the Wood Gene Ability.
Two others had fur blended with blue and green, their posture agile and swift, with a gentle breeze swirling around their wolf tails.
These have awakened the Wind Gene Ability.
The last one's appearance hasn't changed, only when it opened its mouth could one see the sharp metallic teeth.
Li Zheng tested this; the forest wolf chewed on ordinary iron bars like they were tofu, shredding the Iron Ingot in just a few bites.
This one has awakened the ability of partial organ enhancement.
If Li Zheng trades these forest wolves out and registers a pet identity, it would definitely be a considerable aid to many new players.
Unfortunately, these forest wolves are too old, lack potential, and can currently only serve as breeding wolves to hope their offspring show higher potential individuals.
As for the anomaly within the wolf pack, that Mediterranean husky...
It's as mischievous and cowardly as ever.
When Li Zheng doesn't pay attention it skulks within the wolf pack quietly, only daring to stay in the corner, not making any large moves.
But as soon as Li Zheng focuses on them, it becomes proud as it confronts the Wolf King, puffing out disdainful sounds from its nostrils, provoking all kinds.
Then, as soon as Li Zheng looks away, the Wolf King leads the pack to discipline it.
Every time Li Zheng feeds them, this scene repeats in the wolf pen.
Initially, Li Zheng would intervene; later on, he found that the Wolf King was very measured, only causing the husky pain but never injuring it, so Li Zheng no longer cared.
The odd part is that the Mediterranean husky looks quite shrewd and should know to restrain itself after being disciplined several times by the Wolf King.
But it doesn't!
On the contrary, it seems to even have a tendency towards exacerbation.
Sometimes Li Zheng suspects it might have some peculiar hobby, like enjoying being disciplined by the wolf pack...
On another front, the Rongrong rabbit group finally surpassed the others, showing an overall mutation.
Uncertain if there's a problem with the physique of these rabbits, their mutation direction compared to the wolf pack is simply progressing on an eccentric path.
[Delicious Rongrong Rabbit
Mutant entity of Rongrong rabbits, compared to regular Rongrong rabbits, this mutant breed grows meat more easily, and its texture is tender, juicy.
Lean meat isn't dry, fat meat isn't greasy.
Rabbit heads are suited for spicy and flavorful, rabbit legs for marinade.
To accommodate your dining table, they've strengthened their reproductive ability; a litter can produce at least ten young.
Emphasizing two words — considerate!]
The entire rabbit pen, all the Rongrong rabbits mutated into Delicious Rongrong Rabbits, and every female rabbit has entered pregnancy, soon to give birth in half a month.
For this, Li Zheng specially bought some materials from Zi Yuan, and within his capsule created a few more beast cages, prepared specifically for the coming baby rabbits.
Meanwhile, he separated the three pregnant female wolves into another new beast cage, avoiding accidents during the wolf pack's disciplining of the husky.
Lastly, in the Kang'er Botanical Garden, the leaf-eating ants he had tamed, had their first batch of ant eggs long since hatched. The ant queen led those leaf-eating ants to build a nest in the corner of the beast cage where they concentrated on breeding.
There's no need to worry about food or drink; Li Zheng makes sure to provide plenty of feed every day, over ten days and the ant colony has approached four digits in number, with fertilizing gland fluid accumulating close to a hundred liters.
The current output doesn't keep up with Li Zheng's consumption.
However, once the leaf-eating ants continue to reproduce, reaching a sufficient quantity, Li Zheng will no longer need to go out and purchase fertilizing gland fluid.
Li Zheng added more feed to the beast cages and finally waited for the blacksmith to open the door and emerge from behind.
In one of the blacksmith's big hands was holding a lamp, which was the improved Lamp Holder!
