Chapter 136: Chapter 126: Transition today, exploration begins tomorrow.

Ion Cutting Blade, shaped like a 15 cm long dagger, is actually…

[Ion Cutting Blade, Platinum Level, Weapon

Description: The Weapon Master “Oteham” was always troubled by carrying dozens of weapons when going out, and longed for a versatile weapon.

So he asked a blacksmith to help craft this “conceptual” work.

As a conceptual work, the Ion Cutting Blade has only partial functionality of a finished product.

Function: The Ion Cutting Blade can freely switch between four forms.

They are: One-Handed Sword, Tachi, Dagger, Long Staff]

[Power: 100% (only accepts recharging from Gold Level and above Power Cores)]

…

“One piece replaces four, now mom doesn’t have to worry about me frequently switching weapons in battle anymore…”

Li Zheng finished reading the attributes, marveling at the so-called “Weapon Master”‘s wild imagination, and was delighted.

Although he wasn’t proficient with these four weapons, that didn’t stop this thing from being a powerful tool.

“Just in time for Zhan Zhouzhou to teach me her family’s swordsmanship later, then the one-handed sword form will be useful.”

Li Zheng touched his chin, pondering, “Maybe I should make a deal with Liu Jiale to get his sword skill, then the Tachi will naturally be useful too.

And the long staff form, I already have spear mastery, the two long weapon forms are quite similar in shape, perhaps the techniques have some commonalities, if I practice, getting staff mastery shouldn’t be too hard… right?”

Picking up the Ion Cutting Blade, with a thought, the dagger suddenly disintegrated like powder, extending and reassembling.

In just a second, a three-foot longsword appeared in his hand.

“Hmm?”

Li Zheng raised an eyebrow, a bit surprised: “With the name ‘Ion,’ I expected it to be a laser weapon.”

However, this time switching forms, the Ion Cutting Blade’s power was consumed by 0.1%.

“The energy consumption is acceptable, and it only consumes energy when changing forms, it seems to require no additional power to maintain this form?”

Indeed, when he got this weapon, it was in dagger form, it would be too disappointing if maintaining a form required power.

“Currently, the one-handed sword form is the most useful to me, the other three are not needed for now, so I won’t try them out, save the power.”

Raising his hand, he tossed the Cutting Blade back into the pile of supplies, finishing the inventory of today’s treasure chest.

Glancing at the time, it was close to two in the morning, Li Zheng flipped through items and found a USB stick to craft an ergonomic mattress.

An additional gift included fifty iron ingots, accompanied by an iron framed bed.

He found a random spot to put it down, and Li Zheng glanced at its appearance.

The metal bed frame had a rugged style, not fine-looking, but felt solid.

The bed was a long oval shape overall, the core of the frame was the mattress itself, leaning towards white in color.

Touching it with his hand, the outer layer’s biomimetic organization felt like human skin, slightly cool.

But after a short while in contact, it was warmed by body heat.

Li Zheng pressed down with both hands, the whole body sinking a bit, soft, and applying force made him sink deeper.

Once he released, the mattress bounced back almost in an instant, returning to its original shape.

“Hmm, doesn’t deform easily, pretty good…”

Taking off his shoes and the flying device, Li Zheng lay on it completely, sinking into the mattress, perfectly fitting the muscles of his back.

A bulge automatically rose at the neck area, supporting the cervical spine and back of the head.

“Oh! So comfortable! I don’t even need a pillow…”

With a relaxed mind, Li Zheng fell asleep.

One night passed quickly.

In the morning, Li Zheng awoke to the usual noise of the Sakura-brand alarm clock.

Rubbing the eye crud from his eyes, Li Zheng looked at the time, it was already nine thirty in the morning.

“In about half an hour, Old Pu will complete the upgrade, before that I might as well find something to do to kill the time.”

Struggling out of the mattress, Li Zheng stood on the ground and stretched.

Crackling sounds resonated.

“Oh~ Comfortable!”

This sleep was probably the most comfortable Li Zheng had experienced since entering the Matrix, no, it might be the best sleep of his life.

All his muscles and bones fully relaxed and rested, and now fully awake, feeling refreshed.

“Hmm?”

Sakura flew curiously onto the mattress, poked it with a tiny hand, and immediately sank in.

“Hmm!”

The little guy was scared, quickly retracting its hand, relieved only after confirming it hadn’t been eaten.

Now even more curious, it flew high, suddenly folding its wings, performing a free fall.

Poof!

Except for the long tail, its entire body was face down swallowed by the mattress.

The tail wagged back and forth outside the mattress, the little guy crawled out, finding it extremely amusing.

Just as it was about to try again, it was caught by Li Zheng and taken to the bathroom to wash up.

“Hmm hmm hmm…”

The little guy still wanted to play with the mattress, refusing to cooperate, Li Zheng had no choice but to say: “If you like it, I’ll find some diagrams and materials later and make one for you.”

“…Hmm!”

Only then did the little guy cooperate, brushing its teeth and washing its face. (The water used for brushing teeth was purified water, not purified water.)

Then Li Zheng taught it how to use the toilet, exchanged for twenty liters of purified water and wastewater using Snake Grass Needle, pouring it all into the bathroom’s circulation system.

Once it was operational, he left Sakura and exited the bathroom.

After completing personal hygiene, Li Zheng took Sakura out of the dwelling.

At this time, in the cave room, besides Li Zheng, only Li Chun and Liu Jiale remained.

The two and a spider gathered together, grilling meat, it seemed they hadn’t been awake long either.

“Where did the others go? Already left?”

Li Zheng brought Sakura over to sit by the fire.

Just sitting down, Li Chun handed over a piece of almost done grilled meat: “Sister Yan and Sister Zhan went that way, Brother Phoenix Mountain and Brother Chu went the other way, Ye Kai and Ye Yuan went together too.

They just left not long ago.”

Li Zheng looked in the few directions the little girl pointed, noticing they covered the three standing metal doors entirely.

Only the top and ground entrances remained unvisited.

Regarding the five metal doors here, Li Zheng had already probed through them last night before upgrading Old Pu, finding no significant danger.

“Hmm, where are you two planning to go? Up or down?” Li Zheng took a bite of the grilled meat, the taste was pretty good, Li Chun had sprinkled some black pepper and salt while grilling it, making it tender.

Taking out the last piece of Ghost Lion Heart, Li Zheng directly heated it with Genetic Ability, sprinkled some salt on top, and handed it to Sakura.

Liu Jiale thought for a moment: “I’ll go up later.”

Saying so, he took out a bundle of grappling hooks.

It seemed, to facilitate exploration, they had prepared some tools to assist in moving between upper and lower entrances.

Li Chun patted the limb of a nearby plant: “I have Little Spider, I can go anywhere.”

“Hiss.”

The Five-Colored Xuan Poison Spider, seemingly to prove itself, spat a strong strand of spider silk, adhering it to the cave ceiling.

It appeared Li Chun used this method to access the upper and lower rooms.

Li Zheng nodded: “It’s good you have a way.”

He was considering assisting them if needed, believing his flying device could carry one person without issue.

Li Chun asked him: “Brother Li Zheng, where are you planning to go?”

“Me?”

Li Zheng smiled, “I’ll go there.”

He pointed to the room whose door was opened last night upon his arrival, where Li Chun had entered.

During last night’s probe, Old Pu had provided information that the girl had missed some hidden items while exploring.

Since the others had left, he could now retrieve them as planned.
