CHAPTER 352: CHAPTER 295 ANTI-THEFT

"Once you enter my door, from now on you belong to me." Li Zheng had no intention of letting it go, seeing that it had no intention of leaving the residence. He took advantage of the situation and said, "Follow me, and there will be plenty of benefits, at least lifelong maintenance!"

"..." The agricultural humanoid tilted its head, looking at Li Zheng, puzzled.

Li Zheng ignored it, sized it up and down, and thought the remaining animal skin on it was a bit of an eyesore. He decided to take some full-body photos from different angles and sent them to Li Chun, asking her to customize two sets of clothes.

"Oh right, I almost forgot about this!" Only after contacting Li Chun did Li Zheng remember that he still hadn’t used the scales and other materials he got from the Earth Dragon.

The leather and scales produced by the Earth Dragon were all Diamond Level. Li Zheng was worried that the young girl might not be able to handle them, so he just sent over the attributes to ask if she could make something with them.

"It’s alright if you can’t handle it. We can wait until the sewing table’s grade is upgraded to make it later."

Ever since Li Zheng saved the young girl’s life once, she never charged him extra for commissioning clothes and armor.

She would even pay out of her own pocket, using some materials to help with the crafting. Li Zheng felt a bit guilty, fearing that the young girl might feel pressured.

After a while, Li Chun replied, "I can make a piece of soft armor for the upper body, but it will take some time. It’ll be ready in two days."

"You can even work with Diamond Level armor now?" Li Zheng was surprised. In his memory, Li Chun’s skill was not yet sufficient to handle tasks of that level. How did she get her hands on Diamond materials ahead of time?

"Yeah!" Li Chun explained, "Just this afternoon, Sister Zhan asked me to work on a Diamond Level armor. She gave me the materials needed to upgrade the sewing table."

The sewing table was not a secret within Li Zheng’s small group; everyone knew its existence, and they all liked Li Chun’s clothing designs. They usually went to her for armor or ordinary clothing.

Over time, whenever Li Chun faced any difficulties, everyone was willing to help her.

"Alright, thank you for your hard work." Li Zheng sent all the materials over to her.

"It’s no trouble at all, just glad to be of help." Li Chun knew her own abilities were limited, only able to offer some help in sewing.

Crafting some clothes for Li Zheng and the others was just a small effort for her.

Moreover, everybody liked the clothes she made; isn’t that a good thing?

"I can’t always let you help for free." Li Zheng thought for a moment and said, "How about this, for the next two days, I’ll provide you with a meal each time to help improve your diet."

"Really?" Li Chun was overjoyed. Ever since she tasted a bit of Li Zheng’s cooking last time, she’d been yearning for more but was too shy to ask.

Now that Li Zheng offered it on his own, it was a pleasant surprise.

"It’s just a few dishes, nothing rare." Li Zheng smiled. It was his way of repaying the young girl for providing materials to help with his clothing in the past, not just as a simple compensation for her hard work.

(As usual, let’s take a break here)

Therefore, Li Zheng’s full charm essentially meant... he could overcome anyone regardless of age, gender, or even species!

Everyone and everything would be drawn to his charm.

"Woof～"

A big yellow dog suddenly rushed up to Li Zheng, stood upright, tongue out, and its tail wagging like an electric fan.

"You little rascal..."

Li Zheng gently stroked the dog’s head, raised his hand, and plucked a ginkgo nut from the tree, flicking it like a shooting star.

"Go."

Upon Li Zheng’s command, the big yellow dog excitedly turned and chased after where the ginkgo nut flew.

"It’s quite spiritual. Maybe with some training, it could reach Hua Juan’s level."

Watching the dog’s retreating figure, Li Zheng thought of one of the pets introduced in a later game update.

Divine Dog·Hua Juan!

In the early game, many people gained one to three Inner Sect Disciples, who are cultivators, and found it difficult to control their rising reputation during world exploration, attracting many powerful enemies.

There were even some mortal bandits or loose cultivator disciples and members of opposing sects’ Outer Sects without cultivation but with extremely strong equipment and root bones.

If the player sent their Outer Sect disciples to confront enemies, it was easy to incur casualties.

This was a significant blow to Outer Sect efficiency, and many novice players fell into this trap initially by sending carefully selected Inner Sect disciples to face enemies.

But once an Inner Sect Disciple or cultivator killed an ordinary person, their Celestial Punishment Value would increase, making future crossing the tribulation attempts more difficult.

Each point of Celestial Punishment Value exponentially increased the power of the Celestial Tribulation, causing a period of player lamentations.

No one would be happy seeing a carefully nurtured Inner Sect disciple struck down by lightning.

The most frequent posts on the official forums then were about whose Inner Sect disciple was killed by lightning, or who managed to endure the Celestial Tribulation for a few seconds before being struck down.

Finally, the developers made an emergency update to cater to these players, releasing two divine pets.

One of them was: Divine Dog·Hua Juan!

The introduction of Hua Juan solved this problem for such players, allowing their Inner Sect disciples to practice outside without worries.

Because Hua Juan’s kills didn’t increase Celestial Punishment!

The yellow dog sniffed near the ground, looking for the fallen ginkgo nut.

Li Zheng turned to the boy, "Gou Dan, did the village chief send you to find me?"

"Ah... Ah?"

The boy named Gou Dan only then remembered why he had come, his small face reddening slightly, "No, it’s not... My dad came back. He heard the immortal had woken up and wanted to come in person to greet you. But the immortal had said before that you didn’t want to be disturbed, so I..."

"So you came to ask for my opinion first, to see if I’m willing to meet him?" Li Zheng completed his sentence, seeing Gou Dan’s awkwardness.

"Uh, yes!"

Gou Dan nodded vigorously, looking endearing and making Li Zheng chuckle.

"Alright then."

Li Zheng thought for a moment, then stood up, "It’s about time I left, so before I go, I might as well meet your father and say goodbye to the village chief."

Though he couldn’t recall the village’s name or where it was, since Li Zheng already had plans to leave soon, he naturally thought of wandering around. He might even find the second senior brother’s stone box along the way.

After all...

His Opportunity was at full value.

"Immortal, are you leaving already?"

Gou Dan looked at Li Zheng, his lively eyes filled with disappointment.

Li Zheng leaned down to pat Gou Dan’s head, comforting him, "All good things must come to an end. Now that I’ve awoken, it’s only natural for me to leave."

"But!..."

Gou Dan said anxiously, "Immortal, haven’t you lost your memory? Why not wait until your memory returns before you leave?"

"Regaining memory isn’t something that can be achieved overnight. Perhaps traveling the world will help me slowly regain my memory."
