Chapter 999 703: Preparing to Promote Node Condensation
Li Zheng felt something was off when Lin Fengjiao said she opened the mission to check the mission details.
How could it be that only Lin Fengjiao tried to open the mission details for such unclear tasks?
Since others would also do the same, yet only Lin Fengjiao got caught in it, there could only be one possibility.
That is, the terminal deliberately assigned the mission to the Starting Point Legion.
But does this mean the terminal opened a backdoor?
Li Zheng hesitated for a moment, choosing not to disturb the terminal further to avoid displeasing it again.
After all, people focused on work hate being interrupted the most; having a bit of temper is quite normal.
He didn't want to make things awkward for himself.
"By the way, where's Zhan Zhouzhou?" Li Zheng looked around but didn't see the heroine anywhere.
This was unlike her usual behavior; if he returned, she would definitely come to check on him, and test how much his power had improved.
Yet, she was nowhere to be seen.
"Off to the wilderness for a mission again?"
"No, she went to the Sin Domain." Xiao Siyuan said, "She found me this morning and told me she's going to the Anger Sin Domain, not sure when she'll return."
Li Zheng frowned, "What's she going to the Sin Domain for?"
"Hmm... it seems those crystals have run out." Lin Fengjiao said from the side, though she didn't know exactly what those eerie crystals that every alien seemed to have were. Anyway, their aura was inherently repulsive.
Have the Twisted Magic Crystals run out?
Could be.
Last time Li Zheng accompanied her to the Anger Sin Domain, they didn't obtain many Twisted Magic Crystals, so by calculating the time, it seems they've almost been consumed.
"What kind of place is the Sin Domain exactly?" Xiao Siyuan asked, "I suggested finding a few people to accompany her, but she refused, saying ordinary people couldn't go and advised us to keep an eye on the legion members and not go lightly."
"A very dangerous place, filled with negative emotions, people with insufficient determination who go there rashly are easily transformed into infected beings, becoming part of twisted entities." Li Zheng explained.
Xiao Siyuan and the others widened their eyes after hearing, he said, "If it's a place that tests determination, perhaps members from Kunlun can last longer, but... from what you said, the Sin Domain also demands spiritual power strength, and that might be tricky."
Currently, most Water Blue Star players can't even feel what spiritual power is, and it's through interacting with the people from the three races after entering the Outer City that they've gained some basic knowledge.
"No problem, since you're here, I'll guide you on methods to quickly enhance spiritual power." Li Zheng paused here, turned to Feng Yue and said, "You can learn too, but you must swear not to spread it arbitrarily without my permission, or your Gravity Research Institute's project will never progress!"
"...?" Feng Yue wasn't paying attention to what Li Zheng and the others were discussing, as he didn't want to bother with anything unrelated to the project in his mind, suddenly being asked to swear, he mechanically nodded in agreement.
At this moment, Mirel led Dan Fenglai, Mo Li, and Anan in, and came before Li Zheng: "I called them all here for you."
Anan was the most adaptable among them, more willing to lower her stance to appease others.
Upon seeing Li Zheng, she giggled charmingly, came over to hug Li Zheng's arm, and sweetly called out, "Hubby, you're finally back~"
Hub...
Hubby??
Xiao Siyuan and the others were stunned upon hearing this term.
Lin Fengjiao felt as if she had been struck dumb by a bolt from the blue.
She stared blankly at Anan, seeing that she was much prettier than herself before the disfigurement, couldn't help but feel inferior, lowering her head.
Li Zheng twitched his arm but couldn't break free, so he could only helplessly introduce to everyone, "This is Anan, the patriarch of the Suffering Race, and my contractual wife. That one is Mo Li, the patriarch of the Blood Patterned Black Dragon Race, also my contractual wife. The one with the stern face over there is Dan Fenglai, the new yet unappointed patriarch of the Blood Race, my contractual wife as well. You all know Mirel, the little princess of the Enchanting Demon Race, she's my main wife!"
Hiss~
After hearing Li Zheng's introduction, Xiao Siyuan and the others gasped in shock.
Especially Xiao Siyuan, his face was filled with unmasked envy, jealousy, and hatred: "You've been in the Outer City for how long and already have so many wives? I, a seven-foot man, at thirty-two, haven't even held the hand of a real-world girl!"
"Actually, besides Mirel, the other three are only nominally married to me and will be released later." Li Zheng simply explained, as he didn't want this to spread and tarnish his reputation, like being known as... a playboy or something.
He was very devoted and had only ever clapped for love with Mirel.
"Hmm..." Xiao Siyuan pondered for a moment and asked, "So, they're actually still single, and others can pursue them?"
Li Zheng smirked, "You could say that, but even if they receive and accept pursuits from others, as long as I don't cancel the contract, they'll remain my wives. If they dare cheat, I'll exile their entire clan!"
Anan and the other three's pupils shook, their expressions varied.
Anan shook Li Zheng's arm, coyly said, "Hubby, what nonsense are you talking about? We are devoted to you, how could we accept other people's pursuits?"
Li Zheng gave her a meaningful look. Among the wives given to him by the three races, Anan was the deepest schemer, and he couldn't figure out her temperament.
"Enough chit-chat, I called you here mainly for two things." Li Zheng said seriously, "First, the three former patriarchs are permanently staying in the depths of the Gluttony Sin Domain, but they're not completely gone yet. If your tribes strive hard, you might still see them."
He explained the location where the three former patriarchs became donation nodes, a place you needed to fill up on pure Purple Level Magic Crystals to go, approximately five Spiritual Power Nodes worth.
Upon hearing the fate of the three former patriarchs, Anan and the others appeared saddened, Dan Fenglai couldn't accept what happened to her ancestor, and quietly sobbed.
The atmosphere became somewhat heavy, and Li Zheng continued, "Moreover, the three patriarchs left you one last batch of gifts."
He raised his hand and released all the Twisted Magic Crystals stored in the capsule, which he cleaned from time to time; they were all pure Purple Level Magic Crystals without an evil aura.
The quantity of Magic Crystals obtained by the old ancestor of the Black Dragons in a single assault was too numerous to count, Li Zheng only released a portion, nearly filling the small Magic Crystal Store.
He evenly divided all the magic crystals into three portions, returned them all to the three races, and then said, "The second thing, I'm planning to promote the method to break the spiritual power limit. You choose a few trustworthy people from your tribes, I will guide them."
The Water Blue Star players are starting to enter the Outer City, it won't take long for more people to flood in, so Li Zheng wanted to do some preparatory work to avoid being overwhelmed.
"Break the spiritual power... limit?" Mo Li and Anan were taken aback at this notion, soon realizing its extent, showing astonished looks: "You mean... a breakthrough different from the current methods in the Outer City?!"
