Chapter 16: End of the First Day and Upgrading the Detector

[“Under what circumstances can a cup of water last for a lifetime?”]

Before William could react, Li Zheng blocked him, rejecting all of William’s private messages.

He couldn’t give the other party any time to react. Otherwise, this guy would definitely ask for a refund.

The products he sold had no certificate of conformity, no after-sales service, and no warranty. He was already doing him a favor by giving him a free one-time customer service.

“If you really find it disgusting, you can sell it.”

Li Zheng’s mouth twitched as he opened the trading room.

Sure enough, the small water purifier appeared again, and the seller was William Houston.

The description was empty, but the number of items required for the transaction had increased significantly.

“What an evil person!”

Li Zheng looked at him with disdain. He had only asked for double the amount of materials to craft this item, and this guy actually asked for bronze-grade materials?

It would be strange if someone bought it!

“But the world does not lack idiots.”

“This won’t do. I have to inform my peers on the channel.”

Li Zheng switched to the channel chatroom and warned everyone in channel 0000879 not to buy the small water purifier.

After that, Li Zheng didn’t care anymore. He called Chirpy over and prepared to head to the next room.

“It’s a pity that there’s no more speakers. Otherwise, we could have just announced it to the world and let more people know how evil the guy is.”

Li Zheng decided to wait for the speaker to respawn. If the water purifier was still there, he would use it.

“Forget it. Let’s explore a room first. There’s not much time left today.”

Li Zheng collected his thoughts and placed Chirpy in his chest pocket. Then, he swiped his card in front of a metal door that was marked green by the detector.

After the door opened, they entered the thin film.

As for the hibernation chamber in the room…

Li Zheng chose to ignore it. He didn’t want to smash it, as it would easily stain his clothes.

Following that, Li Zheng spent a total of four hours exploring five green and one blue rooms, a total of six safe rooms. He had used up all his exploration quota for the day.

The final materials obtained were 18 iron ingots, 21 spare parts, 10 copper ingots, 160 fibers, 360g of tungsten steel, and 3 power cores.

In addition, he had also smashed a research desk and two material storage tanks. He had obtained a technology core, 200g B25 manganese steel, two type II damaged power cores, one type I damaged power core, two damaged temperature controllers, and a single-use bronze-grade blueprint for gravitational shoes.

In the blue room, he found another cultivation dish. Unfortunately, the crops inside had all withered, and only some of the incubator liquid was left.

However, it was only about 100ml. For this reason, Li Zheng finished the half-bottle of water and used it to hold the incubator liquid.

This time, Li Zheng did not forget to take apart the incubator. After a series of banging and smashing, it took nearly an hour before the incubator broke down.

For this reason, Li Zheng’s jacket was completely torn and he was only wearing a t-shirt.

However, an hour of hard work was not in vain. At the very least, most of the basic materials that Li Zheng had obtained were from the incubator.

Unsurprisingly, the power cores and the temperature controller were also damaged.

…

“Bang!”

Li Zheng opened the door to the capsule and brought Chirpy in.

At this time, after a day of exploration, more than half of the space in the capsule had been taken up.

All the items were stacked together. Just the 30 iron ingots alone took up a lot of space.

However, the ones that occupied the largest area were the fibres and the few crops that were harvested.

The two took up almost half of all the space.

After entering the capsule, Li Zheng didn’t close the door. The lights were much dimmer as it was nighttime.

But it was enough.

A faint light shone in from the door of the capsule.

Li Zheng put the lamp down and heaved a sigh of relief. His hand that had been holding the lamp was finally free.

After holding it for so long, his hand was almost numb.

Shaking his hand, Li Zheng took Chirpy out of his pocket and laughed. “This creature has actually fallen asleep.”

Without waking it up, Li Zheng pulled out a few fibers and placed Chirpy inside.

Perhaps it was because the fiber was soft and comfortable, the moment Chirpy was put down, it twisted its body and buried itself in it, leaving only its little head outside. There was even a large snot bubble coming from her nostril.

After placing the mass of fiber wrapped around Chirpy in a corner, Li Zheng found the only blueprint among all the supplies.

[Gravitational shoes (bronze grade). One-time-use blueprint.]

[Can be used to craft a pair of shoes that can change the direction of gravity around the wearer.]

[Required materials: type I power core 2/5, spare parts 10/32, iron ingot 10/30, copper ingot 8/23, tungsten steel 100g/490g.]

“It can change the direction of gravity…”

Looking at the description, Li Zheng immediately realized that this was probably used to explore the metal door above and below a room.

“However, this pair of shoes requires too many materials.”

Li Zheng felt his heart ache.

A pair of shoes did not require cloth or rubber, but metal.

The main issue was the spare parts. If he were to craft this pair of shoes, he would not have enough materials to upgrade the detector.

He removed the detector, and the virtual screen showed that the battery of the detector was still at 98%!

It was equivalent to driving for six hours and only consuming 1%.

[Ordinary detector. Silver-grade item. Special item. Upgradeable.]

[It could show information about, but not limited to, materials, items, creatures, players.]

[The higher the level, the more detailed the information.]

[Upgrade material requirements: technology core x1, B25 manganese steel 300g, type III power core x1, spare parts x30.]

“Upgrading the detector and crafting the gravity shoes will require a total of 40 spare parts. I still need 8 more…”

Li Zheng thought for a moment, and his gaze finally fell on a pile of things in the corner.

30 pieces of toxic terror bat meat, and 750 ml of terror bat blood.

As all of these items were highly toxic, Li Zheng did not think of using them at the moment. He had put them in a corner.

“I should list them at the trading room. Maybe someone needs them.”

Just like how gray-grade cans could be used as containers, terror bat feces were the best material for composting.

Even if it was poisonous, it might be useful in some ways.

“Thirty pieces of poisonous meat, each in exchange for a spare part. Fifty milliliters of poisonous blood in exchange for two basic materials.”

“As for these two non-poisonous pieces of meat…”

Li Zheng turned to look at Chirpy.

“There are only two pieces of non-toxic meat. Each piece for a type I power core!”

Although it didn’t taste good, it was still meat. Li Zheng didn’t believe that no one wanted it.

Li Zheng didn’t just wait around. He opened the system interface.

[You have enough materials to upgrade the detector. Do you want to upgrade it now?]

[This upgrade will consume: technology core x1, B25 grade manganese steel 300g, type I power core x1, spare parts x30]

“Yes!”

Li Zheng confirmed the upgrade, and then some of the materials in the capsule were gone.

The next moment, the detector in his hand glowed faintly.

[The upgrade has begun. The estimated time to completion is 4 hours.]

“It’s only four hours. I can wait. ”

Since he didn’t need to explore at night, he could use his free time to upgrade his equipment.

With nothing else to do, Li Zheng went over to close the door of the capsule, then lay down on some fiber.

Not long after, he found himself falling asleep.

Li Zheng, who initially wanted to wait to see if the treasure chest would refresh at midnight, fell into a deep sleep.
