"Compared to Gold Level item materials, reaching the Platinum Level is a world of difference."

Li Zheng was very satisfied with the quality of these shoes as he stepped on the ground. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

If there’s a downside, it’s probably that their defensive ability is slightly inferior to some Gold Level armor.

But the single ability of "Short Distance Teleportation" is enough to classify these shoes as Platinum Tier.

Resolved the Eye Demon Resilient Hide issue, next is another: Abyss Core.

Li Zheng took it out for a look at the attributes and size, and immediately put it back away.

The size is not much different from the Earth Dragon Crystal Core, attributes as follows:

[Abyss Core

Tier: Platinum

Description: After consumption by a pet, it will randomly undergo a deep Abyssal System mutation, after which the pet will randomly acquire one Abyssal System ability.

Note: This mutation will alter pet appearance.

Note: This change is irreversible, please use cautiously.

Old Pu: Oh ho ho ho, you surely know what Abyssal System creatures look like.

Do you really want to use it on the little guy?

Old Pu has a more reliable suggestion, why don’t we sell it instead?]

"Mutating into Abyssal System creatures..."

Li Zheng recalled the two Abyssal creatures he encountered, whether it’s Abyssal Walking or the Abyssal Eye Demon encountered this time, their appearances are truly unflattering.

If there’s a creator in this world, during the creation of Abyssal System creatures, He must have been somewhat too capricious.

Sakura spends every day with me, if she becomes ugly, not only would the little guy be unhappy, but it would also add to my mental burden.

As for gaining an Abyssal System ability?

To be honest, Sakura is about to gain a Diamond Level ability, which is surely sufficient in terms of combat strength.

I really don’t care for those one or two Platinum Level abilities.

"Besides, selling it would indirectly contribute to our race, increasing the chances of entering the Outer City."

After careful consideration, Li Zheng decided to adopt Old Pu’s suggestion.

As for who to sell it to?

Clearly, aside from Li Chun, there is also the man from Phoenix Mountain.

"Oh! I finally remember what I forgot!"

Li Zheng finally remembered he still owed Phoenix Mountain payment from the last transaction.

Speak of the devil, Phoenix Mountain’s private message reminder popped up:

"Hey, bro, what’s going on? Why couldn’t I reach you earlier?"

"Also, did you forget something?"

"Bro, let me remind you, for example... Abyssal Serotonin?"

"..."

Li Zheng looked at Phoenix Mountain’s chatty private message and was speechless.

Judging from the frequency of messages sent, he was already quite impatient.

Replying: "Hold on."

Then posted one tube of Abyssal Serotonin specifying Phoenix Mountain for transaction.

Phoenix Mountain dissatisfied: "Just one?"

Li Zheng equally dissatisfied: "How many do you want then?"

Phoenix Mountain immediately complained: "Wow, aren’t you too inconsiderate?

You know how much sacrifice I made last night to extract information from Yu Xiaoyu?

Your bro almost sacrificed himself, you know?

You know what that represents?

It represents the twenty-year-long defended chastity of your bro being lost in a day!

Anyway, asking for ten or eight more isn’t excessive, is it?"

Li Zheng frowned in displeasure: "Ten or eight? You really dare to ask, huh?

For that bit of Yu Xiaoyu’s intelligence, giving you a Gold Level item was already more than worth it, okay?

Don’t get too greedy, or go explore and find Abyssal Serotonin yourself.

Besides, if you sacrificed yourself last night, that’s you getting the big advantage, okay?

Really benefiting yet trying to act innocent.

Telling you, just that one, take it or leave it!"

"..."

This time, Phoenix Mountain fell silent for thirty seconds without replying.

Li Zheng didn’t care about him, directly blacklisted him, set to release after three hours.

Actually, this time Phoenix Mountain got a great deal trading intelligence.

If it wasn’t that he provided Yu Xiaoyu’s intelligence before Li Zheng encountered Gangmen’s left deviation, Li Zheng could have contacted him to cancel the transaction.

Because the intelligence Phoenix Mountain obtained coincided closely with the intelligence later provided by Gangmen’s left deviation.

"Sakura, let’s go!"

With a call, Li Zheng headed towards the Abyssal Altar, wanting to see if there was anything else on the altar.

Being already close to the altar, he flew for less than a minute and landed on the altar’s top.

Contrary to expectations, there were no "Treasure Chests" on the altar, but it wasn’t entirely empty.

On the altar’s top surface, large profound rune patterns were etched.

These patterns were winding and twisted, forming a network, resembling a "Magic Array".

[This is an incomplete Abyssal Summoning Array, if you have relevant knowledge, you can try to complete it.

Once operational, it can randomly summon a creature from the abyss, which can be tamed as a pet.

Just a reminder, there’s one race in the abyss that’s every otaku’s dream.]

Old Pu timely provided a hint, but unfortunately, Li Zheng was not proficient in arrays.

He couldn’t even tell where this array was incomplete, and if Old Pu didn’t offer some assistance, Li Zheng was destined to miss out on this "otaku’s dream" pet.

[No way?

You’re not hoping Old Pu to help you complete it, are you?

Forget about it, Old Pu has seen this thing for the first time too and can’t help you.]

Seeing through Li Zheng’s thoughts, Old Pu provided text hints.

"Well, destined but not meant to be."

Given Old Pu’s explicit helplessness, Li Zheng had no choice but to use the Cutting Blade to destroy the array.

He hoped no one else would come in someday to complete the array and gain a significant boost.

Don’t forget, the largest number in Channel 24 are the Mud Furnace chickens.

Leaving the array there is practically aiding the enemy!

Swish swish swish...

Longsword danced wildly, Li Zheng spent three minutes ensuring all patterns were completely obliterated, then he safely led Sakura away from the altar to investigate the information about several metal doors.

[Behind the door is high-temperature lava, within the lava pool lives a Platinum Level creature.

Cannot be eaten.]

[Behind the door is snow-covered mountains, within the mountains is a wooden house, inside lives a Platinum Level creature.

Still cannot be eaten.]

[Behind the door is a material storage tank, inside is only one energy bar, if you want to add to your frustration, choose here.]

[Behind the door is a special farm, inhabited by a bunch of cute little things.

Front row tip, still cannot be eaten.]

[Behind the door is a natural hot spring, you know, a hot water bath is hardly tempting.

But growing next to the hot spring is a Gold Level Fire Element crop, maybe you would be interested.

Front row... back row tip, no guardian monster.]

After probing all five doors, Li Zheng immediately hesitated.

Because he’s interested in two rooms.

The first is naturally the hot spring room.

Choosing here could obtain a Fire Element crop, useful for enhancing Ice and Fire Attachment ability.

The second is the special farm.

In Old Pu’s hints, surprisingly the main things in the farm weren’t crops but rather a group of "cute little things".

If "cute little things" referred to cows and sheep, it wouldn’t matter, but Old Pu added can’t be eaten.

That’s what piqued Li Zheng’s strong interest in the farm room.

"Mere Gold Level Fire Element crop, once obtained it is just paving bricks on the path of upgrading Ice and Fire Attachment, honestly it’s hardly of high value to me.

I currently have two Flame Branches, enough for upgrading Ice and Fire Attachment, not lacking that experience."

Li Zheng decided to take a look at the so-called farm.

As for the two rooms with Platinum Level creatures, they are not considered at all.

If wanting to kill Platinum Level creatures, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.

But this so-called "farm", maybe missing it this time means never encountering it again.
