Chapter 138: Chapter 128: New Ability, Unstoppable! (Today’s Chapter 2)

Even though there was no sign of items on the panel, and even when Li Zheng locked his gaze onto it, there was no attributes panel.

But for some reason, Li Zheng’s intuition told him that there was something inside!

It’s just invisible.

“WDNMD, did Old Prel upgrade to become microscopic… oops, I mean nanosized this time?”

Li Zheng made a sarcastic comment. Ever since he upgraded to Gold Level, he found that Old Prel’s style had become more ostentatious.

At Platinum Level, it even turned into contact lenses…

This time, it played the “disappearance” trick.

“Extract!”

Li Zheng silently chanted, but he didn’t feel anything appear.

Looking again at the upgrade panel, his intuition was invalid this time, and it was definitely empty inside.

“Damn, did it fall to the ground?”

Li Zheng looked down at the ground: “Where the heck am I supposed to find it now?”

Just as he was about to rely on the capsule residence’s item movement function to find Old Prel, his eyes suddenly itched, as if someone blew at them, causing his eyelashes to brush against his eyelids.

He couldn’t help but rub his eyes, and when he opened them again, Li Zheng was shocked.

At some point, the system ability panel had opened automatically, and there was an additional passive ability.

[Prelis’ Eye]

No tier, no attributes information, no level, no experience points.

“Holy crap, did Old Prel turn from equipment into an ability? Is this even scientific?

This is absolutely not scientific!”

[Handsome, dashing, charming, that’s me, Old Prel!]

The familiar panel appeared in front of him, with familiar fonts and the familiar silly style.

“As expected of you!” Li Zheng made a sharp comment, “As silly as ever!

Shouldn’t you at least display your ability?”

Following Li Zheng’s critique, Old Prel actually displayed information on the panel.

[Prelis’ Eye, no level, ability etched into DNA

Description: These are eyes that can change the owner’s appearance, letting your looks reach beyond this world!]

Li Zheng walked to the bathroom to look in the mirror, seeing no difference from before.

[Li Zheng, appearance score 9, subtracting the eye’s bonus, leaving score 1.]

“…”

Li Zheng was speechless for thirty seconds: “DNMD! Talk about serious stuff!”

This guy’s ability to praise himself had reached perfection, a true master of the art!

[Ability Description: As the user’s own strength grows, these eyes can see through everything!

Why aren’t you wearing underwear today?]

“Screw you, talk about serious stuff already!” Li Zheng subconsciously tugged at his waistband, as he really wasn’t wearing any…

[Subsidiary ability: As the user’s strength grows, it can split off weakened versions of the progeny–Prelis’ Eye.

Currently separable: 0/2]

“Se… separate progeny?”

Li Zheng was dumbfounded; what use would splitting this off have?

“That’s not right!”

He suddenly realized: “Old Prel’s this ability shouldn’t be that simple, can it directly link to the progeny, gaining their vantage points?”

[Bingo! You’ve hit the mark! A rare moment where your IQ is online.

Old Prel alone could not gather enough data for analysis, but the progeny can obtain all the item’s information seen by the progeny’s user, filling the database.

Old Prel’s trustworthy suggestion: Do you know about rental mode?]

“Is that so?”

Li Zheng pondered: “But before the upgrade, weren’t you quite adept at assessing the item’s or creature’s information, even its weaknesses and hidden usages, whenever you saw them?”

[That was all when I saw them with my own eyes.]

With Old Prel saying so, Li Zheng understood: “So the information you’ve gathered is actually used to determine the information behind the gates?”

[That’s right. Old Prel isn’t omnipotent.]

“Seriously.”

After learning this, Li Zheng began considering: “Then who should I give these two progeny to first?”

[Who needs them the most? Who is the most reliable?]

With this piece of information from Old Prel, Li Zheng immediately had two choices in mind.

“Old Prel, separate two progeny!”

[OK!]

The next second, there appeared two “Prelis’ Eyes” on the ability panel, displayed individually below Prelis’ Eye.

Li Zheng swiped the panel, confirming which separated progeny could enter the trading hall, and quickly locked onto the first player.

“Old Xiao’s personality is relatively stable, and his profession ensures that he keeps his mouth shut. The first progeny can go to him.”

Setting the rental mode to long-term lease, Li Zheng clicked confirm.

Looking at the rental information in the trading hall, Li Zheng noticed the progeny were also invisible.

“Better inform Old Xiao over there, and it’s best to add a contract prohibiting the disclosure of the progeny’s existence.”

Opening a private chat, he talked with Xiao Siyuan for a while, and finally, under the witness of the Matrix System terminal, they made a contract.

In this case, even if Old Xiao nearly got beaten to death, or his brain was turned into a brain in a vat, he couldn’t disclose the existence of Prelis’ Eye.

“Darn!”

Just after receiving the progeny, Xiao Siyuan straightaway sent a private message: “Awesome! Compared to this, the pocket watch made by Phoenix Mountain is simply garbage!”

The corner of Li Zheng’s mouth curled up maniacally. Back when he first saw the pocket watch, he had a similar thought, but what he thought was: “Holy cow! How could such a trashy thing compare with Old Prel?!”

But later, to avoid exposing Old Prel’s existence, Li Zheng still managed to get a pocket watch from the Phoenix Mountain side, just like other players in the channel.

“The first chosen is a reliable player.”

Li Zheng dragged the second progeny into the trading hall, choosing Li Chun, for a long-term lease: “This time, it’s for the player who needs it the most.”

With the operation done, Li Zheng repeated his trick, and made a contract with her side.

“Thank you, Brother Li Zheng!”

Similarly, Li Chun sent a thank-you message, followed by: “I’ll make the clothes now and deliver them to you.”

Before long, Li Zheng received a notification.

[You have a new designated transaction.]

Taking out the full set of clothes sent by Li Chun from the trading hall, Li Zheng put them on easily.

[Resilient Spider Silk Armor, Silver Level, Armor

Description: Made from the Strong Spider Silk of the Five-Colored Xuan Poison Spider, soft, fitting, breathable, with some defensive ability.

Old Prel’s review: Fairly decent, better than those useless clothes.]

A full Silver Level set, including underwear!

And the little girl sent over two sets at once, making it more convenient for Li Zheng to change and wash later.

[Old Prel thought you might give a progeny to the young swordswoman, after all, her bosom is quite generous, sometimes…

By the way, Old Prel can broadcast the progeny’s perspective in real-time.

Oh ho ho ho~]

Li Zheng: “???”

So in the end, are you into GHS? (Gatehouse Scout)

I, Li Zheng, am definitely upright!

How could I do such a thing as peeping on others?

Old Prel, you’re despicable!

And then…

With a thought, a perspective appeared before Li Zheng’s eyes, the other party was in a safe equipment room, about to deconstruct a computer.

“Such joy.”

…

“Old Prel, what are the conditions for the next progeny separation?”

Li Zheng already put away the capsule residence, bringing Little Sakura with him as he prepared to leave, casually asking while swiping the card.

[Once all your Four-dimensional Attributes are upgraded to Silver Level.]

The green light on the card reader lit up, and Li Zheng’s eye corner twitched: “So, one for each level?”

His Four-dimensional Attributes were at Bronze Level, and by setting a progeny split for each level, he could just separate two.

[Correct.]

“Hmm.”

Li Zheng searched Old Prel’s panel, curious: “Why don’t you display your own energy levels now?”

Before, Old Prel would show its remaining energy in the corner, which was very straightforward and more convenient than the initial goggle state.

[Because Old Prel no longer needs the Power Core as energy.]

Before Li Zheng could ask, Old Prel continued explaining:

[In this state, Old Prel consumes the bioelectricity generated by the user’s cerebral cortex. As long as you’re alive, Old Prel’s energy is inexhaustible.

Moreover, there’s energy sharing between Old Prel and the progeny, so even if you accidentally die, as long as there’s a progeny outside, Old Prel won’t perish with you.]

“…”

Li Zheng rolled his eyes, walking into the light curtain.

So damn real, Old Prel truly goes to great lengths to preserve itself, even having a setup that allows it to survive through the progeny.

But it hadn’t considered that if he were to die, it would lose the user’s level support, reducing the progeny’s separation count to zero?

[This room has been searched, but there are still things hidden in a corner you’re familiar with.

Insufficient data to analyze detailed information on the items.]

This was the detection information Old Prel provided before Li Zheng entered the room.

Compared to before the upgrade last night, there was more content related to information analysis.
