Chapter 423: Chapter 361: The Reserved Nature of Dragon Country People
"Mr. Tanaka, I can swear, during the use of the probing machines, there was absolutely no mistake whatsoever," a scientific research player stepped forward and said. "As for why probing two Gold Level items resulted in damaging two machines, we haven’t figured it out yet."
"The preliminary estimate is that there’s a complex protection mechanism in the items Li Zheng sold, which the probing machines couldn’t decipher, leading to their overload..."
"Enough!" Tanaka Junichiro interrupted the other’s attempts at making excuses, his face so dark that it seemed he wanted to kill two people to vent his anger, making those science-focused players instinctively shrink back.
Even though Tanaka Junichiro’s personal combat power is not strong, killing a few scientific research players is easier for him than drinking water.
The fluctuating bloody aura emanating from him makes it clear that he’s killed several players with white names.
Heart pounding furiously, Tanaka Junichiro forcefully suppressed the anger inside him. After a while, he spoke: "Put aside the cracking of the genetic potion and those concoctions, and shift the focus to researching higher tier Concentrated Enhancement Liquid."
"Although we didn’t obtain higher tier blueprints, previous researchers managed to develop them, so can we!"
"You have three days to show results."
"The consequences otherwise, I don’t need to elaborate!"
With a vicious glance at a few people, Tanaka Junichiro turned and left through a metal door.
The Concentrated Enhancement Liquid is currently the only product High Celestial Plain could bring out to match Li Zheng.
Though it has quite a few side effects.
But as long as it’s not stated, who would know?
After all, the players who triggered the side effects are already dead.
Dead men tell no tales.
Li Zheng mentioned at the auction that he could produce even Star Shining level potions.
To Tanaka Junichiro, this sounded like pure fantasy.
At present, who possesses the capability to master Star Shining level items?
Li Zheng’s claim is merely boasting, only aiming to boost the sales of his genetic potion.
After all, hearing that Li Zheng has mastered Star Shining level potion techniques, they would safely purchase potions below Star Shining level.
This is akin to a direct route to the stars!
Tanaka Junichiro believes the highest Li Zheng can produce is Gold Level potion.
Otherwise, why didn’t he bring out Platinum Level or higher tier potions at this auction?
Wouldn’t that earn more?
He didn’t know that Li Zheng didn’t showcase better potions not because he couldn’t make them...
...but because Li Zheng wanted to keep them for improving himself first.
"Right! The auction!" Tanaka Junichiro was suddenly startled and quickly reopened the live-streaming interface, realizing he had exited it in his urgency.
Recalling that Banquan Longma should still be inside, he attempted to contact him through private messaging but got no response.
At that moment, his expression grew even darker.
Though Banquan Longma also attended the auction, the two belong to different factions within High Celestial Plain, having little contact and thus finding cooperation challenging.
This is why the two had minimal interaction at the auction.
If they aren’t undermining each other, it’s already a good fortune. When Room N had conflicts with Banquan Longma, Tanaka Junichiro ignored them completely; now, how could Banquan Longma possibly pay attention to him?
...
"Congratulations to Chris for acquiring this piece of Equipment Fragment at the price of two hundred thirty Gold Level furs!"
The auction on Li Zheng’s side proceeded normally, although Wu Hao’s earlier actions made some people more cautious, leading Li Zheng to exclude him as a collaboration partner.
In contrast, both Tang Qianzang and Liu Qi Shao, having been trained in two major organizations, were much shrewder than Wu Hao.
"Next, we’re auctioning a batch of small items." Li Zheng traded the Equipment Fragment with Chris and then brought out fifty metal rods of varying thickness and length, wearing a mischievous smile.
"Due to the nature of the Matrix, I believe most male players feel empty, lonely, and cold at night."
"To address this, I specifically added this auction item to ease the physiological needs of the vast male player base."
After displaying the attributes, Li Zheng continued: "Technology Cup, available in three models, fully meets all male players’ needs. Convenient to use, and with a realistic touch, it’s absolutely value for money!"
Within the Matrix, although there are also many female players, some men, relying on their strength, do indulge in obscene deeds, an unavoidable reality, and Li Zheng, though wishing to intervene, finds it difficult.
However, among the female players, there are quite a few experts, many of whom join forces to resist such situations, so most men still behave themselves.
This is why the Technology Cup becomes so exceedingly precious.
It is well-known that in terms of physiological needs, a man particularly desires it when he’s without, and after obtaining it, he’s not as keen.
The proof lies in poetry: Middle-aged couples kiss, and a nightmare lasts several nights.
There is also a saying validating the former: Only little kids make choices, ( ).
Thus, the Technology Cup is bound to be snatched up by the broad bachelor player base.
Whether it’s used as a benefit to be distributed to members within an organization or sold, its cost-effectiveness is extremely high.
"Such vulgar stuff, we gentlemen absolutely will not bid!"
"What’s that act upstairs? During the bidding, you bid once, and I’ll break your leg!"
"No exaggeration, the Technology Cup is so far the most valuable item among all the auction pieces. Mr. Li has thought it through."
"This item can only be used by men. Mr. Li... do you have any items suitable for us female players? Bring them all out; I’ll take as many as I can get! No one competes with me!"
"Lady upstairs, I have one that might help you. If you don’t mind, leave a door open for me tonight."
"I don’t mind, cut it off and send it over!"
"I can help with that, I’m very precise with my cuts, ensuring no pain!"
"Get lost!"
A simple Technology Cup triggered a response even more fervent than the genetic potion, with all kinds of bullet comments flying, making it very lively.
Li Zheng had anticipated that the auction could lead to such chaos, but he had never imagined it would occur when the Technology Cup was introduced...
Indeed, among the attendees of the auction, there are many ways to satisfy needs, and they themselves aren’t particularly keen on the Technology Cup.
But they couldn’t bear that their subordinates needed it!
The Technology Cup, once distributed to subordinates, would significantly increase their loyalty!
Out of everyone, perhaps only Tang Qianzang and Liu Qi Shao genuinely had no interest in the Technology Cup.
Not because they were virtuous, but due to adhering to the traditional mindset of Dragon Country, having a more reserved demeanor regarding such matters.
Because...
"Old Li, after the auction, I want to order a batch of Technology Cups! A thousand of each model to start with!" This was a private message from Tang Qianzang.
"Li Zheng, I want to order a batch of Technology Cups, ten thousand of each model to start with! No! I’ll take as many as you have!" This was a private message from Liu Qi Shao.
See.
So reserved!
