CHAPTER 541: CHAPTER 447: NEW TENANT IN THE BEAST CAGE (6000) _2

If the master was nearby at the time, the blade might uncontrollably attack the master.’

"Really?"

’Yes!’

"I’ll trust you this time." Li Zheng said, "If I find out the twisted magic crystal in the Outer City isn’t like you said, you’ll be in big trouble!"

’The Demon Blade absolutely would not dare to deceive the master!’ The Demon Blade confidently transmitted this thought.

"I hope so."

Li Zheng hinted, no longer dwelling on the matter.

In any case, he’ll be heading to the Outer City in a few days; the truth will reveal itself by then.

If the Bloodthirsty Demon Blade thinks he won’t come back for it after discovering the truth in a few days, it’s gravely mistaken!

Old Li here is someone who holds grudges.

"If I don’t use spiritual power to push my body, it takes too long to replenish the Genetic Force, just waiting here isn’t an option, better find something to do."

Li Zheng thought for a moment, looked around, picked a direction, and walked straight ahead.

The Demon Blade flew slowly behind Li Zheng, breathing a sigh of relief in its heart.

It temporarily muddled through the business about the twisted crystal; hopefully, the master won’t be petty and find trouble after learning the truth in the Outer City.

Mirel and the Red Polis, carrying Little Sakura, followed closely on Li Zheng’s left and right, like two bodyguards.

Mirel glanced back and forth between Li Zheng and the Demon Blade several times, finally unable to hold back, asking, "Master, why are you talking to a blade?"

"Hmm?"

Li Zheng remembered he hadn’t introduced the members beside him to Mirel, so he pointed to the Demon Blade and said, "It’s called Bloodthirsty, a Demon Blade, a piece of equipment with its own consciousness, and it can communicate with me telepathically."

"Conscious equipment?" Mirel’s delicate face showed an expression of surprise: "Doesn’t the master find it strange? The blade clearly lacks a biological vessel, yet its consciousness can exist."

"Strange?"

Li Zheng tilted his head, thinking: "There are many things in this world we don’t understand. I’ve seen even stranger existences.

Some have bodies made of stone and ice, yet have their own consciousness.

Some have bodies formed by machinery and chips, but their consciousness has been transferred from a flesh and blood race.

In the Abyss, there’s a race called ’Abyssal Walking’, whose bodies are half-real and half-illusory, almost like air; where do you think their consciousness is stored?"

"And there’s something even stranger, it has no body of its own, only reflecting others’ appearances, pretending it has a body.

And while you’re perplexed by the existence of a special consciousness like the Demon Blade, you have not questioned another entity’s mode of existence."

Li Zheng answered Mirel’s question with a question, which is essentially playing rogue.

It seemed to answer Mirel’s query, but upon closer thought, it was as empty as a fart.

Mirel didn’t complain about this, but asked, "Since master also doesn’t understand many things, why not try to explore their essence?"

Li Zheng paused, thought seriously for a moment, then replied, "The sea of knowledge is infinite, but human life is finite. Using the finite to contain the infinite is actually an unrealistic fantasy.

So in my view, knowledge is enough as long as it’s useful, there’s no need to get to the bottom of everything we’re curious about.

After all, a lifetime is only so long, if you spend it all learning, that would be a bit too boring."

"But!" Li Zheng emphasized here, looking into Mirel’s eyes, "This is just my way of life, I won’t force others to live according to this concept.

In our country, there’s a saying, ’You live and learn’, learning itself is a kind of joy, but not everyone is willing to enjoy it.

Do you understand?"

"Understood." Mirel nodded with some insight, "So the master intends to be an ignorant person."

Ignorant?

Li Zheng twitched slightly at the corners of his mouth, dropped a line, and turned to leave, "I meant for you to mind your own business, don’t criticize other people’s ways of living!"

Can’t even grasp the main idea, surely a liberal arts slacker on Earth!

With a few followers in tow, they trekked through the forest, arriving in front of an open metal door, next to which the Identity Card reader blinked with a red light that only activates when non-player entities pass through.

[The territory of little dogs is limited, one side is the canteen, the other is the dining table.

Ignore the above lines, that’s Old Pu the Rhyme Master getting the itch to rhyme.

The Forest Wolf’s hunting grounds, where a large neutral species group lives; from the start of this game until now, no player has yet visited.

The Wolf King is quite troubled, ever since the pack was mostly wiped out by bipedal demons, the prey population has grown too much, even daring to fight back.

If this goes on, the wolves might not only starve, but could even be driven out of the hunting ground by their former prey.

Especially since a strange individual mingled into the pack lately, making life increasingly difficult.]

Bipedal demon?

Li Zheng scratched his cheek, could that title be referring to him?

And that ’strange individual’, could it be referring to that husky?

Speaking of which, why would a regular husky dog appear in the Matrix?
