Chapter 280: Shortcut to Promotion

“Don’t look at me with those eyes like I’m a guinea pig, saying I might lose my life here. Can Era Store bring me back to life?”

Zhang Mu looked vigilantly at the eager No. 37 and promptly refused.

“Well, dying here is final, there’s no coming back. Once life is gone, it’s irreversible.” No. 37 seemed persistent in Zhang Mu’s interest, saying, “Although Era Store’s healing power has limits, in the current situation, I can still control it to ensure your safety. You can trust me on that. I’m sensitive enough to life fluctuations.”

Zhang Mu didn’t want to risk his life in someone else’s hands, even if that person, like No. 37, surpassed him by far. He quickly thought of another unsolved issue, “I can cooperate, but will the gold leaf Era Store uses for treatment be provided by you?”

Zhang Mu hit the nail on the head with his words. No. 37 calmed down, sank into contemplation, and then shook his head, saying, “You reminded me well. It seems this experiment really can’t proceed. I am constrained by Era Store, and the gold leaf cannot be replaced by Era Sub-merchant’s delivery, otherwise the extent of control would be too great.”

Zhang Mu breathed a sigh of relief, exclaiming, “That’s good. I don’t want to experience that feeling of my brain being supported by skin thinner than paper again. You’ve gone too far, treating me like a specimen.”

No. 37 felt somewhat embarrassed and slowly explained, “To be honest with you, the reason we are so fond of Lycorisradiata is its different reactions to various energies. Our rules, our most basic source, stem from energy.”

Lycorisradiata’s characteristics greatly help us understand the rules, which is its true value.

At this point, we won’t miss any possible place that could help us understand the rules.

Of course you wouldn’t understand, the rules are still too far away from you. We always thought that energy without attributes could not perfect its unique rules, but now Lycorisradiata’s reaction is really strange.

If you can help me, I will naturally give you my personal collection as a reward. But it’s useless to mention it now. Everything will wait until you earn enough to repair many injuries at Era Store before opening it.”

Upon hearing No. 37’s words, Zhang Mu’s previous thoughts quietly changed. He never expected Lycorisradiata to have such an effect. This is the secret that No. 37 has been hiding and not revealing.

Even though he is only a second-rank now, he also longs for the power of the rules. It’s his only hope to break free from this prison-like world and find out the truth.

So, it is necessary to get all the Lycorisradiata here from No. 37. Zhang Mu was afraid that No. 37 might change his mind, immediately saying, “Alright, keep all your Lycorisradiata for me. It should be enough once I complete this Era Sub-merchant task.”

No. 37 appeared curious, looking at Zhang Mu and saying, “Weren’t you resistant just now? Now you seem quite eager. I was about to give up on convincing you.”

“Why don’t you tell me what persuaded you?” asked No. 37.

Zhang Mu gazed straight at No. 37, saying, “I suddenly remembered that my energy growth has been almost invisible since I rose to second-rank.”

Now the only thing that can help me advance to the next level is you, Lycorisradiata.

No. 37 was easily led by Zhang Mu, but Zhang Mu’s appearance as a petty bourgeois is really deceptive, and this reason is very appropriate.

Having just experienced the huge difference between being a second-rank and a first-rank evolver, naturally hoping to advance to third-rank.

He shook his head helplessly and said, “The Lycorisradiata, which I treasure so much, is only seen as a tool for advancing to third-rank in your eyes.”

Even in your own small testing ground, a third-rank is not even considered cannon fodder, yet you are still so obsessed. Your standards are really too low.”

Zhang Mu seemed shameless as he said, “No problem, the power you don’t value is enough to dominate this world now.”

Its actual function is indeed very beneficial to people at your level, but who knows, my luck as Zhang Mu might suddenly take a turn for the worse.

I have always believed in one thing, treasures that can only be eaten and turned into one’s own strength are truly precious, anything beyond that is just a decoration.”

After hearing Zhang Mu’s words, No. 37 did not mock or say anything.

Zhang Mu’s words may lack ambition, but they are practical. It’s not easy to survive, so why worry about so much? Do you want to make clothes for others?

In the current test ground, if sacrificing most of the effect of Lycoris radiata can help Zhang Mu rise to the third rank, then he will also have many benefits, because the current third rank is definitely the strongest power on Earth.

Moreover, who says that the second-rank Zhang Mu cannot touch the power of the rules?

Of course, this is Zhang Mu’s idea, and everything is unknown.
