Chapter 1007 710: Success Does Not Have to Be Attributed to Me
"But..."
Zhan Zhouzhou hesitated for a moment and asked, "What if we fail like the Celestial Dragon Race did?"
"Or if we succeed, but as the strongest, we have to fight on the front lines, in the most dangerous places. What if we die and never see the moment of success?"
Won't we feel unwilling?
Although Zhan Zhouzhou was desperate to improve herself at any cost, she still harbored some worries in her heart.
That is, sacrificing oneself for the greater good.
Is it worth it?
Li Zheng couldn't explain the pros and cons to her, he just walked towards the door of the medical room and said softly, "I once heard a saying: Success may not belong to me, but... success must include me!"
He pushed open the door and walked out, identifying the direction, heading towards the outside of the Gravity Research Institute.
"Success may not belong to me, but success must include me..."
Zhan Zhouzhou muttered, tasting this sentence repeatedly, suddenly chuckled to herself: "Haha, I always thought you were a fool, always taking out good things, never hiding them, like a big fool."
"It turns out you're not foolish, but your life realm is higher than others."
"He's right, success doesn't have to be mine, as long as I'm part of it."
…
Li Zheng returned to the rental house. Mirel had just coaxed little Sakura, who was clamoring to accompany Li Zheng, and came to open the door when she heard the knocking. The moment she saw Li Zheng, she first looked at Li Zheng's right arm, and only after seeing it completely regrown did she breathe a sigh of relief.
"You've been unconscious so long, you must be hungry, right?" Mirel tucked the hair that had fallen beside her ear: "I'll make you something to eat."
"Okay." Li Zheng nodded lightly, Mirel was becoming more and more like a virtuous wife and loving mother.
"Come in and take a bath, you can eat in a bit." Mirel turned towards the stove to get busy.
Li Zheng walked into the room and saw little Sakura lying by the bed, her eyes wide open, quietly watching them.
"What are you looking at?" Li Zheng laughed: "It's so late, and you're still not asleep?"
Little Sakura jumped off the bed in a flash, her short legs moving quickly, and leaped into Li Zheng's arms, shouting, "Dad!"
She grabbed Li Zheng's arm and tugged on it, amazed, "Wow? It really grew back!"
"Once you finish taking those pills, you'll be able to regenerate limbs too." Li Zheng hugged her, tossed her back onto the bed, and then went into the bathroom to take a shower.
While taking off his clothes, he only then noticed that the Adaptive Combat Suit he was wearing, which had originally shattered along with his right arm, had now fully restored itself and clung to his skin just like before the damage.
He poked his head out of the bathroom and asked Mirel, "What's going on with this suit?"
Mirel didn't turn around and said: "After you passed out, the suit grew back with your severed arm, matching the length of your arm. The professor took some fragments to test and found a novel combination of materials. In the professor's words, this new material can be named 'the smartest fabric,' capable of adjusting itself to fit the wearer's body parts."
"Repairs?"
Li Zheng was amazed: "How does it repair itself? This doesn't align with the law of conservation, does it?"
"That's what the professor said." Mirel continued to explain: "This combat suit automatically allocates core parts, and the material has extremely powerful elasticity. If it's cut, it will automatically select the largest piece, extract all its elastic properties, and restore itself to its original state before it was cut."
"But this elasticity isn't infinite. If stretched to the maximum and still can't restore, then it will remain torn in that state."
Li Zheng nodded after hearing this: "In that case, it indeed can be called 'the smartest fabric.'"
He almost thought earlier that the combat suit, like his improved Physique, could regenerate.
Turns out it was just the material stretching.
This makes much more sense.
After the shower, Mirel had just finished preparing two simple dishes.
Little Sakura caught the scent and jumped off the bed again, running to sit beside the table, eagerly watching.
Li Zheng found her funny and asked Mirel to make a few more dishes, so the three of them had a late-night snack together.
After eating and drinking, little Sakura rolled onto the bed to sleep.
Li Zheng took out the Treasure Chest for the day and let Mirel open it for fun.
The Treasure Chest hadn't yielded anything for over ten days. Today, neither of them had any expectations.
Sure enough, Mirel took out a Wish Stone Fragment from the Treasure Chest.
"Well, that's that." Li Zheng was quite helpless, took the fragment, tossed it into a capsule, and then lay down to rest.
Unable to sleep, he grabbed little Sakura and took the little one to the Dark Realm to train her Spiritual Power.
Mirel would always absorb some Magic Crystal Energy before sleeping at night.
Li Zheng multitasked, urging little Sakura not to slack off while asking, "You must be close to forming the second node, right?"
Mirel absorbed the Magic Crystal Energy, nodded, and said, "Once this Magic Crystal is fully absorbed, I can."
Li Zheng glanced at the Magic Crystal, seeing its energy gradually thinning as it was absorbed.
Like the fog dissipating when the sun breaks through on a foggy day.
"Every time I see you cultivating Spiritual Power, I can't help but marvel at how Xu managed it, gathering six-digit nodes without Magic Crystal Energy." Li Zheng sighed: "That's truly incredible!"
"Or rather, he was so enduring of loneliness, cultivating for countless years in the Dark Realm." Mirel imagined and shivered: "If I had to live alone in such a place, I would go crazy in less than a month!"
"Indeed." Li Zheng frowned slightly: "Do you think... that with Xu having lived so long, he would really give up his life to fulfill others?"
Whenever thinking of Xu, Li Zheng remembered what the other left before disappearing.
'We will meet again in another place, in another form, but by then you may not recognize me.'
The meaning of this sentence, Li Zheng has never been able to figure out.
It sounds a bit like reincarnation theory, yet seems to imply something else.
"Even if living so long makes him indifferent to life and death." Mirel stopped absorbing energy, pondered, and said: "But he must have a deep resentment in his heart. After being lonely for countless years in such a place, this resentment should drive him to find a way to survive."
"You mean..." Li Zheng pondered: "Instead of finding release through death, Xu is more likely to find a way to escape the Dark Realm?"
"If it were me in that situation, I'd definitely do so." Mirel said.
Yes!
According to the Terminal, Xu is an aggregate of negative emotions of the main body, so how could a being like him easily accept the outcome of death?
But if he's not dead, where would he be now?
