Chapter 1006: Chapter 1006
It just so happens that in reality, Liu Zheng is nearsighted, but even though his vision is now incredibly good, he still finds wearing glasses comfortable.
"Idiot, you look more human with glasses on."
"It's called being dashing and talented."
He took out his phone to have a look at himself, very satisfied with his new appearance.
The melancholic gaze, the simple glasses, the delicate features, the tall stature, he definitely looks like a refined literary youth.
All that talk about being an explosion maniac, or a succubus with cloven hooves—it's all slander, all rumors!
He spent another 50,000 points redeeming a power amplifier, leaving him with 210,000 points.
Liu Zheng continued to scroll through the prize catalog and selected three more prizes.
"Name: Citizen Health Shoes"
"Effect: When the player has Metropolis citizenship and is within Metropolis, movement speed is increased by 25%."
"Note: Take a thousand steps after meals, live to nine hundred and ninety!"
"Can it be taken out of the instance: No"
A simple yet powerful effect, 30,000 points is not a bad deal.
The key is, he finally doesn't have to walk barefoot anymore!
"Name: Metaverse Safety Link Protocol"
"Type: Miscellaneous"
"Effect: With this item, you can freely enter and exit the Metaverse. If you receive a fatal injury in the Metaverse, you'll exit safely and the item will automatically destroy."
"Note: When using this item to enter the Metaverse, the City Hall will monitor all player actions and speech."
"Can it be taken out of the instance: No"
"That note is interesting."
Previously, item notes either explained their origins, contained statements from the creator or holder, or were pranks related to them. This is the first time I've seen such a direct warning.
But the warning doesn't matter much to him; after all, there's nothing he can't let the City Hall monitor.
Anyway, as his current mission requirements should have already been met, the main reason he's not ending the instance is because there are still unfinished matters, and partly because he's reluctant to leave this stinky yet charming Metropolis. Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs novel⸺fire.net
Liu Zheng doesn't have the ambition to dominate Metropolis, nor does he want to overthrow the City Hall. At most, he'll just set off some explosions to vent his anger before leaving.
He certainly won't do anything illegal or criminal before deciding to end the instance, so he's fearless.
Also, he didn't necessarily get this item for himself to use.
If those bald monks come to cause trouble before he leaves, Liu Zheng will just storm into the Metaverse like the old encounters of the three warriors and one sect.
If they don't cause trouble, he'll just give this item to Sea Girl before leaving, basically offering her a way out.
"Name: Citizen Arm Strengthener"
"Effect: Using this item increases the strength attribute by 1 point, 2 points, and 4 points after 10,000, 20,000, and 30,000 uses, respectively. Each stage of use becomes progressively harder. After all strength attributes have been increased, the item will automatically destroy."
"Note: Friendly reminder, do not use your 'big stick' when using the Citizen Arm Strengthener."
"Can it be taken out of the instance: No"
This item can increase a total of 8 strength points and can additionally provide a 2-point strength boost to the power amplifier, making it quite cost-effective.
Liu Zheng tested the Citizen Arm Strengthener and found that it took all he had with two tentacles just to fully bend the arm strengthener.
Mind you, he has the attribute boost from the Legendary Armor; without it, he would need to use four tentacles.
And even with the boost from the Legendary Armor, he could barely use it, doing at most forty or fifty reps before his muscles started aching terribly.
At this rate, it would take him over half a year to trigger the first stage's effect, not to mention the higher difficulty for the second and third stages.
No wonder an item that adds so many attributes only costs 20,000 points, here's the reason.
"Heh, well unfortunate for you, you've met me."
Whenever his muscles ache, he just slices them off and regrows them, chopping where it hurts, with four tentacles rotating around, making it completely feasible to use nonstop 24/7.
Estimating at 1,200 uses per hour, he could trigger all the effects in just three days maximum.
"Such a ridiculous Civil Affairs Department."
Liu Zheng chuckled smugly.
The power amplifier, Citizen Health Shoes, Citizen Arm Strengthener, and Metaverse Safety Link Protocol, add up to a total of 150,000 points, leaving him with only 110,000 welfare points.
After searching for a while, he finally found a prize in the corner.
"Name: Citizen's Last Wish Recorder (Single Use)"
"Effect: Players can verbally express their last wishes into the recorder, which will be triggered upon the player's death. If the wish exceeds the item's capacity, the wish will be fulfilled in a distorted way."
"Note: Friendly reminder, the wish for a perfect resurrection after death is impossible to fulfill."
"Can it be taken out of the instance: No"
100,000 points, even more expensive than the Metaverse Safety Link Protocol.
Considering it's basically a youth version of a Wish Machine, it's not too cheap.
And Liu Zheng naturally has two lives, so using this fits just right.
"There's 10,000 points left, what should I exchange for?"
He pondered while holding his tablet.
"If you don't know, just leave it for next time. Why use it all up at once?"
The shop owner said impatiently.
"Why the rush, it's not like you have any other customers. By the way, boss, do you have any free prizes here?"
Liu Zheng asked with a cheeky grin.
"What are you dreaming of doing..."
"Yin-Yang Dual Qi Array, commence!"
The shop owner hadn't even finished speaking before tiny flags of yin and yang released golden light and black water, surging toward him.
Before coming, Liu Zheng had already discussed the process with Panda, and right as the words were spoken, Panda made his move.
Also, because the opponent was a member of the Special Action Team, it immediately used all its Lifebound Magical Artifacts.
The shop owner never expected the two would make a move, but countless experiences of life-and-death battles triggered an instinctual response.
He struck out with a straight punch, the Fist Power transforming into a Golden Melon Hammer, exploding the golden light and black water together.
"You want to kill me? You're still too green!"
The shop owner shouted fiercely and launched both fists simultaneously.
One fist transformed into a spear, stabbing toward Liu Zheng, the other into a sword, thrusting at Panda.
"Fist Intent Transformation, Martial Arts Enlightenment!"
Panda recognized the opponent's skill and exclaimed in surprise.
"You've got a bit of vision, Panda. Don't worry, I won't kill you; I'll take good care of you instead, hahaha!"
The shop owner laughed arrogantly.
Compared to connections and wealth, he couldn't match these second generations, but when it came to fighting, he had never backed down.
What if Liu Zheng's forces seek revenge after? In life-and-death situations, it's do or die!
The spear reached for the throat, but the first hit was on a trash can.
"Damn it, why do you always clash with this damn trash can!"
Amidst an angry curse, a disheveled woman with messy hair emerged from inside, grabbing a bag of explosives and hurling it at the shop owner.
"A mere resentful spirit, you dare to fight me? Sun Fist!"
The shop owner smirked, raised his hands, fingers aligned, and a blinding light burst from his whole body.
The woman screamed in misery, and the thrown bag of explosives melted away in the light.
Liu Zheng squinted slightly, picking up an ice cream cone-shaped object with one tentacle and a feces fork with another.
"Name: Three Feces Power (Single Use)"
"Effect: Creates a large area of toxic fog upon use, where all targets possessing excrement functions will suffer resentment attacks."
"Note: Only special resentment feces can poison all the way through the entire family~"
"Can it be taken out of the instance: Yes"
"Name: Bloodstained Feces Fork (Single Use)"
"Type: Equipment/Tool"
"Effect One: Inflicts minor toxin damage when attacking, with damage increased to 300% if the target is a Demon Hunter."
"Effect Two: When used with fecal-type items, enhances innate poison damage or fecal item effects, depending on the fecal item's quality."
"Note: If you feel ashamed as a Transcendent but can't beat an ordinary person, remember a Demon Hunter mentor once died by a farmer's feces fork."
"Can it be taken out of the instance: Yes"
"Say goodbye to your sphincter!"
He smiled through his tears, stabbing the feces fork into the Three Feces Power.
