CHAPTER 530: CHAPTER 443: A SOLUTION TO SAKURA’S SLEEPINESS!

After researching whip weapons for a while, Li Zheng casually picked one from the long whips he just made, planning to practice with it whenever he felt like it.

After all, whether it’s a long whip or a short whip, essentially, they’re considered melee weapons, and perhaps a "Warrior" might need one?

As for the remaining whips, Li Zheng asked Mirel, "Do you want any of these? If you do, I’ll save them for you. If not, I’ll just get rid of them."

Since he was researching blueprints, Li Zheng wasn’t too picky with materials during production, mostly using Gold to Platinum Level materials.

Only the last four were made from Diamond and Extraordinary Level materials.

Mirel carefully considered and picked the one known as Blood Tunnel: "I want this one, it can enhance the special effects and power when using Binding Ability."

Li Zheng thought it over and agreed with Mirel’s choice. Out of the four whips, this one suited her best, making it a great backup weapon with unexpected effects.

"So you don’t want the others, right?" Li Zheng confirmed again, and when Mirel nodded, he tossed them all into the legion warehouse and set points according to their tier.

Among them, the special long whips named "Minced Meat," "Lingchi," and "Black Tail Hook" required the highest number of exchange points, reaching six digits, making them unattainable for most legion members in the short term, only serving as incentives.

At this hour, most people in the legion were still awake, noticing Li Zheng’s actions in putting things into the warehouse, they turned to check.

"Wow~ Who knew our leader had such blueprints?"

"Never thought you were this kind of leader! @Li Zheng"

"Haha~ My points are just enough to exchange for a Silver Level whip!"

"Bro, can you use it?"

"Ugh... Damn! I overlooked that!"

"If you can’t use it, then learn it slowly. People aren’t born knowing how to walk. Come on, I’ve got faith in you!"

"Why don’t you exchange for one too, and we can learn together?"

"Nah, I’m afraid of falling while learning to walk."

"..."

At this moment, someone noticed the three distinct whips and exclaimed, "Look at the top three Nine-Section Whips, they’re so vicious!"

Other members who hadn’t paid attention initially looked over, and the legion channel erupted in amazement.

"The names of these three weapons are spot on; scraping Minced Meat against a body would surely flay off some flesh!"

"You bet!? Look at that Lingchi, it’s full of fine hooks, and if it scrapes against a body, it’s not Minced Meat but shredded meat!"

"I’d say the Black Tail Hook is badass, with eight different toxins. Even if it doesn’t whip you to death, it’ll poison you to death!"

"Too expensive though, can’t afford it for now."

"It’s good that it’s pricey! If the points were set too low, you might accidentally whip yourself if you don’t know how to use it~ Ouch... Thinking of it makes me shudder!"

"Well said, indeed!"

"Stop talking, I’m already having phantom pains!"

"I estimate that few in our legion will master whip techniques anytime soon; it’s a shame, these treasures might gather dust in the warehouse."

"Not just in our legion, but across the entire Matrix, there aren’t many who can skillfully use a whip, right?"

"That’s not entirely correct! The herders from the Great Grassland are silently smiling."

"Huh? Oh yeah! Forgot about you guys; looks like we’ll have a chance to form a long whip team in our legion, choosing Lingchi as the weapon, ensuring no one dares mess with us."

"Sounds feasible!"

"Feasible +1!"

...

Li Zheng peeked at the screen, noting down a player named "Zhaetu", since players who can use such exotic weapons are assets, perhaps someday they’ll be of great use.

For instance, if there’s a "Memory Release Device" or something, he can use it as a tool to trade for Whip Mastery.

Speaking of which, Li Zheng remembered that tonight he could receive a Diamond Level Treasure Chest, wondering if he could open a "Memory Release Device".

It would be best if it were a "Memory Release Device·Warrior", directly instilling him with a random mastered ability, sparing him the hassle of finding someone to retrieve it.

Closing the legion interface, Li Zheng stretched. He finally completed today’s main tasks.

Now it’s time to relax and unwind.

First up is solving dinner; earlier, just before dinner time, many things suddenly popped up, almost making Li Zheng forget about it.

He glanced at Sakura, still being carried around by the double Red Poli version of a mobile bed, sleeping soundly without signs of waking.

Li Zheng sighed, "This fellow usually comes over to whine about dinner at this hour. Today it didn’t, and even I forgot about dinner."

Wondering if the aroma of dinner would awaken it later.

Li Zheng smirked and went to the stove, flipping through the recipe book to study, noting down dishes including Boiled Meat Slices, Charcoal-Grilled Meat Ribs, Garlic-Flavored Meat, Spicy Stir-Fried Vegetables, Fresh Honey Fruit Juice, and additionally cooking up a pot of fragrant sticky rice.

It’s all set!~

The dishes Li Zheng picked, aside from Spicy Stir-Fried Vegetables and Fresh Honey Fruit Juice, including the fragrant sticky rice, all belong to the category of rich aroma dishes.

Considering Mirel’s presence, Li Zheng made larger portions of all dishes, each being a big pot.

With the first dish Boiled Meat Slices served, its numbing spicy aroma quickly spread across most of the residence, the smell like a mischievous little hand wafted toward Sakura, tickling its nostrils.

Sniff~

Sniff sniff~

Sakura’s eyes remained closed, but its nose woke first, moving to capture the aroma of Boiled Meat Slices.

The next awakened organ was its mouth, drooling with a sound of "Ahh."

Soon after, its limbs woke, moving unconsciously as if following the scent to the delight.

The Red Polis also cooperated, carrying Sakura wherever it wanted to go.

When it finally stood before the Boiled Meat Slices, Sakura’s brain began starting up like an old computer from the past, slowly powering on.

Unfortunately, given its current state, this "old computer’s" starting speed could only reach the level of "beating 0.1% of opponents nationwide."

Mirel witnessed all this beside Li Zheng and curiously asked, "Is it your pet?"

"Yeah, you could say that." Li Zheng nodded, his eyes reflecting a bit of doting—more like having a daughter, having to worry about everything.

Except for eating and drinking.

Some kids, making them eat a normal meal feels like a battle at home.

Sakura’s different; not letting it eat turns into a battle instead.

If half of the world’s children could take after Sakura on this point, parents’ blood pressure could be 10 points lower!

"What’s with its current state? Racial instinct?" Mirel remembered the Abyss Demon Race had a ’Sleep Demon’ race, nearly always sleeping, only waking in a life-or-death crisis to unleash powerful combat abilities, so she didn’t underestimate Sakura.

Li Zheng explained, "Sakura wasn’t like this before; it just awakened a strange bloodline recently, leading to its excessive sleepiness."

The only comforting thing is that even in this sleepy state, Sakura hasn’t forgotten its instincts for eating and drinking.

Otherwise, he worries the little fellow might starve...

"Black Scale Blood Pattern," Mirel pondered, "That’s the Blood Patterned Black Dragon’s bloodline, right?"

Li Zheng seemed surprised, "You know the Blood Patterned Black Dragon?"

Mirel nodded, "Long ago, my mother used stories of various interesting racial traits as bedtime stories for me, including the Blood Patterned Black Dragon."

"Mother said the Blood Patterned Black Dragon was one of the laziest creatures she had seen, rivaling the Abyss Sleep Demon."

"However, this sleepiness wasn’t without a solution, as the Blood Patterned Black Dragon race nearly entirely entered the Outer City."

"Mother got a bit upset when speaking about this, saying it was infuriating that the lazy Blood Patterned Dragons all entered the Outer City, but the Abyss Demon Race couldn’t."

Li Zheng focused on the phrase ’not without a solution,’ quickly asking, "Did the queen mention a solution to the Blood Patterned Black Dragon’s sleepy trait back then?"

"She did!"

Mirel nodded seriously, "But it was too long ago, and I don’t remember it clearly anymore."
