“Feng Shan, how about the silver-grade flame branch in exchange for your lightsaber blueprint?”

When Li Zheng sent this message, he had a wicked smile on his face, just like when he was smashing the equipment.

After about two minutes, Feng Shan replied, the item is not bad, but the lightsaber blueprint has already been traded. At the moment, I don’t have any silver-grade items to trade.”

The blueprint has been traded?

So fast?

The smile on Li Zheng’s face froze for a moment before he started typing. “It’s fine. I felt that we were fated when I first saw you in the chatroom. Tell me what you can offer now. Even if it’s bronze-grade, I might take it.”

“For the sake of making a friend.”

In a room in the matrix, Feng Shan suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu when he read that.

Wasn’t this what he had just said to Zhan Zhouzhou?

What the f*ck, the tables have turned, someone tried to fool him?

But when he saw the flame branch, Feng Shan hesitated.

Other people might not know its value.

But he knew.

This was because during his previous exploration, he had obtained an ice fruit that had a similar effect. It also had a 2% chance of developing a special gene, but it was an ice-type gene.

The next room he went into was a high-temperature room. He had no choice but to consume the ice fruit, triggering the 2% chance. He was then able to pass through the room safely.

Otherwise, he would have died in the high-temperature room.

He was both lucky and unlucky.

When he consumed the ice fruit, he also triggered the side effect. Any special ability he obtained would be erased after 30 minutes.

However, it was also thanks to the ice fruit that Feng Shan was able to overcome all the obstacles and clear all 10 rooms.

Not long before Li Zheng contacted him, his ability had expired. He was back to being a normal player.

The only difference was that he now had a large number of high-level materials that other players did not have.

He clenched his fist and opened it again. A USB flash drive appeared in his hand. It was the ion lightsaber blueprint that Li Zheng wanted.

Didn’t he already trade it?

How was that possible?

When there were so many people, he offered it in the chatroom. Feng Shan wanted to use this to try and fish for an item that could develop special-type genes.

However, he regretted it as soon as he sent the message.

After exploring all ten rooms, he had only obtained two silver-grade items.

One of them was the ice fruit that he had already consumed, and the other was the lightsaber blueprint in his hand.

What if he traded the blueprint and received a fruit that had the debuff as a side effect?

Last time, he was lucky enough to have the ability for 30 minutes.

What if he was unlucky the next time and did not trigger the 2% chance?

Or, what if he triggered the two effects simultaneously again, would it erase his ability in 1 second?

“This blueprint only needs a type III silver-grade power core to be built. By tonight, the other players who haven’t died in the exploration should have explored 10 rooms. By then, I might be able to trade for a core.”

“After all, this is a silver-grade weapon. It must be pretty powerful so I have to keep this blueprint.”

“But…without a silver-grade item, would Li Zheng be willing to trade?”

Feng Shan was in a dilemma. When he thought about the power of the special fruits, he was tempted.

After waiting for 5 minutes and not getting a reply from Feng Shan, Li Zheng started to panic.

Almost half 15 minutes had passed. If he waited any longer, the two flowers would wilt in his hands.

“So? If you don’t have anything to trade, I’ll find someone else.”

Li Zheng sent a message to rush him.

Feng Shan had read the description of the flame flower and knew that this flower was different from the ice fruit that he had obtained before. It had an expiry date. If he continued to hesitate, he would not be able to get anything.

“No matter what, this blueprint cannot be traded!”

Gritting his teeth, Feng Shan took out a few more items from his capsule and sent their information to Li Zheng.

“‘Desert Eagle blueprint (black-technology version), tungsten steel 230g, type I power core x3. I’ll trade these for your flower.”

One bronze-grade weapon blueprint, 230 grams of black-iron, and three black-iron power cores.

To be honest, the value of all these items added together was far less than the value of a silver-grade item.

Feng Shan was well aware of this, so he was prepared to be rejected.

“Deal. I’ll see you at the trading room.”

Li Zheng’s next message left Feng Shan dumbfounded.

However, before he could even react, the system notified him that a player wanted to trade with him.

Feng Shan confirmed that there were no tricks and agreed.

Feng Shan only came back to his senses when the flame flower fell into his hand.

Why did it feel like had suffered a huge loss?

Was it an illusion?

However, he did not think too much about it and consumed the flame flower.

The next second, a flame spewed out of his body and engulfed him.

On the other side, Li Zheng was happily toying with the USB drive he had just received, his eyes disappeared as he smiled.

“No matter how precious a silver-grade item is, if it has an expiry date, what’s the point? It’s better to trade for something that can last. ”

It could be said that this deal was not profitable for either side.

However, both parties felt that they had struck it rich.

“Desert Eagle. Anyone who has played FPS games would know the name of this gun. It’s famous for its power. I wonder how powerful a black-technology-grade version of this gun is.”

Li Zheng held the USB drive in his hand and asked the system to craft it..

[Player has sufficient materials, crafting…]

[Production costs: iron ingot x5, spare part x10, power core x1, tungsten steel 100g.]

Three seconds later.

A silver gray gun appeared in his hand. It was so heavy that Li Zheng almost dropped it.

[Desert Eagle black-technology version. Bronze-grade.]

[Description: the Desert Eagle has been improved by high-dimensional technology. The problem of ammunition storage has been solved. It uses a new source for energy. The magazine is retained, and special ammunition can be used.]

[Features: powerful, strong recoil, ability to switch between two shooting modes.]

[Note: when a newbie uses it for the first time, please be careful to avoid causing harm to yourself.]

“There are two shooting modes? The magazine is only used to store special ammunition? Does this mean that this gun doesn’t need ammunition for normal shooting? Let’s try firing a shot.”

According to the simple operation manual provided by the system, Li Zheng removed the gun’s safety lockand aimed at the tank that stored the incubator liquid.

He pulled the trigger.

BOOM!

With a deafening gunshot, the muzzle of the gun spewed out fire, and a faint white ball was shot out at a speed that was difficult to detect with the naked eye.

Pa!

There was a ring, and a thumb-sized hole appeared on the surface of the tank.

“F*ck…eh? Am I deaf?”
