CHAPTER 349: CHAPTER 293: TEMPORARY, REVISE LATER OUT OF LAZINESS.

Misaka Tsuchiemon chickened out at the last minute, not wanting Li Zheng to take the "Swordsmanship Specialization." So he called in a woman infatuated with him, attempting to make her a substitute?

Through Lao Pu’s detection abilities, Li Zheng already knew the identity and all the abilities and equipment of this woman. On the surface, this woman named "Yuanfei Yuluo" even appeared stronger than Misaka Tsuchiemon.

Besides "Swordsmanship Specialization" and "Metal Manipulation," Yuanfei Yuluo also had an ability called "Dark Weapon Mastery."

In terms of equipment, she also had a Gold Level set of snowflake shurikens more than Misaka Tsuchiemon.

[Born of the same root, why torment each other so eagerly? Do you think "same root" refers to "siblings"? Then you’re wrong, think again.]

"Not the same... uh..." Li Zheng was startled by the sudden hint given by Lao Pu, realizing that the "root" referred to was that "root!"

If this were true, it would be incredibly dramatic!

Do Misaka Tsuchiemon and Yuanfei Yuluo know about this?

Li Zheng’s gaze wandered over the two, trying to discern something.

Misaka Tsuchiemon’s appearance was the kind that was very attractive to the opposite sex. Clearly, this Dragon Country commissar wanted to be a playboy, not reciprocating Yuanfei’s affections.

"Allow me to introduce you; this is Mr. Li Zheng from Dragon Country. I asked you here to complete a transaction with Mr. Li." Misaka Tsuchiemon said calmly, "Did you bring everything I asked you to bring?"

"Yuluo wouldn’t dare neglect Misaka’s instructions." Yuanfei Yuluo spoke softly, raising her hand to release a small mountain of materials, then continued pulling out various materials and tossing them in.

This was because the capsule space was too small, and some materials were hung in the trading hall, now being retrieved one by one.

"Good, wait here for a moment. I’ll have a word with Mr. Li." Misaka Tsuchiemon sent Yuanfei Yuluo away, took Li Zheng aside, and asked, "Mr. Li, what are the conditions needed to extract a specialized ability? I’ll comply with all of them."

Yuanfei Yuluo watched them from not far away, her eyes filled with tender affection when looking at Misaka Tsuchiemon, almost palpable, as if ready to overflow.

"The conditions aren’t difficult; as long as the target is alive but unconscious, that’s fine." Li Zheng looked at Misaka Tsuchiemon with some reluctance and asked, "May I ask, does your father have a mistress?"

"Mistress?" Misaka Tsuchiemon was puzzled for a moment, "Do you mean like a lover? He shouldn’t have one. Before he became an official, he was always traveling between Mud Furnace and Dragon Country, where would he have the time to keep a mistress?"

Misaka Tsuchiemon was curious why Li Zheng suddenly asked such an offensive question, but since he was seeking help, he refrained from reacting or delving further.

"Oh~ No wonder." Li Zheng looked stranger, "Running between two countries, wouldn’t that make it more convenient to keep a mistress?"

It seemed that Lao Pu was reliable; he could even detect blood relations this time.

Misaka Tsuchiemon was not in the mood to get tangled in this matter, just wanting to finish the transaction quickly, "I’ll go knock her out, then you can do whatever you want with her!"

Do whatever?

What do you take me, Li Zheng, for?

Wu Qian?

Like painless acupuncture?

Even if I were Wu Qian, what you’re offering isn’t quite right.

Wu Qian likes minors.

The kind that gets you jailed with a touch!

I don’t dare have such interests—if I got locked up, with people trying to break me out, who’s there to rely on when I’m alone?

But then again...

Judging by combat ability, who will knock out whom is yet to be determined.

"Whatever, I’m just in charge of receiving the goods." Li Zheng shrugged, not wanting to meddle further.

"Okay, Mr. Li, just a moment, it’ll be done quickly." Misaka Tsuchiemon walked up to Yuanfei Yuluo, said something, and suddenly, when she was off guard, struck with a heavy hand chop to the back of her neck, knocking her out.

This maneuver left Li Zheng dumbfounded. Misaka Tsuchiemon didn’t care about Yuanfei Yuluo’s life at all, striking the back of the neck is very dangerous, easily causing death or permanent paralysis.

But Misaka Tsuchiemon acted with no reservations, decisively and ruthlessly, and Li Zheng could even imagine how painful it would be if that strike didn’t knock her out.

Misaka Tsuchiemon waved to Li Zheng, "Mr. Li, all set, you can start now."

With that, he stood aside.

Li Zheng returned to his residence to fetch the Memory Release Device, which had one use left, and put it on Yuanfei Yuluo.

After the device started, it displayed the abilities that could be recorded. He selected Swordsmanship Specialization, stripped it, and recorded it into the Memory Release Device.

The Memory Release Device had two uses, but only one chance to record an ability. If an ability is recorded during the first use, the device would lock, and its suffix would change from blank to the specified ability.

For example, this Memory Release Device originally had a blank suffix, but after recording Swordsmanship Mastery, "blank" changed to "Close Combat·Swordsmanship."

After five minutes, the device stopped working. Swordsmanship Specialization was recorded, and on the attribute panel given by Lao Pu, the Swordsmanship Specialization ability was crossed off, leaving only "Dark Weapon Mastery" and "Metal Manipulation."

"All done, the transaction is complete. I’ll go make the other tools now." Li Zheng contentedly put away the Memory Release Device, transformed his residence into a capsule, packed up all the materials, and then released it again, walking inside.

Outside, only Misaka Tsuchiemon and the unconscious Yuanfei Yuluo were left. Misaka Tsuchiemon copied the recording of Li Zheng extracting the ability and sent it to his confidant within the High Celestial Plain.
