CHAPTER 345: CHAPTER 291 AFTER THE CHAPTER TITLES ARE MODIFIED, SUBSCRIBE AGAIN

Since an auction is being held, Li Zheng naturally wants to advertise in advance to accumulate interest, making it easier for players who want to participate to gather resources ahead of time.

To enhance the advertising effect, Li Zheng specially used a loudspeaker to briefly introduce the items available in the auction.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the product introductions were sent out, the number of people privately messaging him increased severalfold instantly.

Among them were some acquaintances, such as Tang Qianzang.

Tang Qianzang was particularly concerned about the "Hover Propulsion Device." With this item in hand, one would be undefeatable when encountering non-flying creatures without long-range attack methods during exploration.

He contacted Li Zheng to try to buy the flying device before the auction, but Li Zheng decisively refused.

"Not selling now, if you want it, come to the auction, I’ll give you a spot."

Selling now would be a loss, wouldn’t it?

As the novels on a certain point platform wrote, auctions can easily make one excited. Excitement leads to bidding, bidding leads to overspending, and others overspending means Li Zheng profits immensely.

Apart from Tang Qianzang, another person also sent Li Zheng a private message, inquiring about the auction items in detail.

"Mr. Li Zheng, could the Hover Propulsion Device, Intermediate Cultivation Liquid, and Cultivation Dish be sold to me before the auction? The price is negotiable." The sender was ’Misaka Tsuchiemon,’ the same player whom Kato Junwa, before his death, wanted to use Li Zheng to kill.

According to Kato Junwa, this person was an administrator of the High Celestial Plain and had studied under the Yagyu Sword God of Nihong Country before entering the Matrix, possessing extraordinary skills.

"Not selling now, if you want to buy, wait for the auction." Li Zheng flatly refused, then browsed through other private messages to conduct today’s potions transaction.

With the potions sold a few days prior serving as publicity, once Li Zheng sends a message indicating the start of potion transactions, countless people contact him.

Driven by the priority for Dragon Country players, Li Zheng typically looks at Chinese names first before selecting some foreign players.

Of course, occasionally there are exceptions.

Simply put, the offer is too good...

After selling out of two hundred sets of Black Iron Potions in thirty minutes, Li Zheng browsed his private messages again to find many previous potion buyers inquiring about Black Iron Potions of higher limits.

He uniformly replied with an invitation to follow the auction, then ignored them further, whetting their appetites and spurring numerous players to curse quietly.

After spending some more time dealing with the private messages, Li Zheng found that Misaka Tsuchiemon persistently sent several more messages.

Opening them with a glance, Li Zheng laughed.

"Mr. Li may not know who I am. Allow me to introduce myself. I am a mid-level manager of the High Celestial Plain and have thoroughly learned the Yagyu Swordsmanship from the master of the Yagyu Sword Dojo. I hope Mr. Li will show some respect and sell some items privately."

"[Space Jumping Device] There’s an old saying in your country: ’A wise man submits to circumstances.’ I hope Mr. Li won’t make things difficult for me."

Though polite language was used, the underlying threat was undisguised.

Li Zheng replied coldly, "If you’ve got guts, come!"

Are you really that cheeky?

Even though the High Celestial Plain hasn’t been held accountable for causing trouble in channel 879, now you dare threaten me?

If you’ve got guts, come on. I won’t stop until you’re begging for mercy on your knees!

Just thirty seconds after sending the private message, Li Zheng heard Sakura loudly shouting something outside his residence as if someone had entered this room.

"Oh? You dared to come?" Li Zheng slightly raised his eyebrows, lifted the restriction on private messaging, summoned the Sheathed Sword with a wave, and walked out.

In front of the residence stood a man, handsome and dignified, wearing a loose kimono with a Platinum Level slender tachi at his waist.

"Looking stylish, a shame about the height—only 1.6 meters," Li Zheng chuckled playfully and walked forward to face him.

As soon as Lao Pu saw Misaka Tsuchiemon, he immediately provided all his attributes, even detecting the color of his underwear clearly.

Although Misaka Tsuchiemon hadn’t purchased any Genetic Potions, all four of his attributes had evenly increased to Silver 5+, about to break through into Gold Level.

This surprised Li Zheng slightly, as his own physique had only just reached the threshold of Gold Level. Could someone increase to Silver Limit without relying on potions?

This couldn’t help but make him think more.

Perhaps the High Celestial Plain also had some items capable of improving physique, just very well kept secret, not exposed yet.

No wonder Misaka Tsuchiemon, when contacting him, didn’t care about potions at all, thinking they were beneath him.

At that moment, Li Zheng had already discerned some clues from the three items that Misaka Tsuchiemon wanted to buy.

An item capable of improving physique must have some raw material that Li Zheng had never encountered.

Misaka Tsuchiemon wanted to buy the Cultivation Dish and Cultivation Liquid, likely to expand breeding scale and to potentially create some mutated products using the properties of the Cultivation Liquid.

"That’s not right!" Li Zheng suddenly jerked his eyelids, "His real target is probably the Cultivation Liquid. Proposing the Cultivation Dish is just a pretext for purchasing Cultivation Liquid from me in the future."

How many people are in the High Celestial Plain?

Li Zheng didn’t know.

But such physique-enhancing stuff, if even a mid-level manager like Misaka Tsuchiemon has reached the Silver Limit, it indicates the other organization must have Cultivation Dishes too!

Otherwise, how could such a large production scale exist?

Misaka Tsuchiemon never expected that merely showing his face in front of Li Zheng would expose numerous secrets about the High Celestial Plain.
