Chapter 286: It’s for You
Zhang Mu glanced at the other two treasures, shook his head, and quietly asked No. 37, “Can’t I buy it on credit?”
No. 37’s glass in hand trembled slightly, stumbled a bit, and responded to Zhang Mu, “What do you think?”
Zhang Mu casually shrugged and said, “I just asked a question, why such a big reaction from you?”
“Since that’s not possible, I’ll choose a second-grade mutated plant seed.”
After careful consideration, Zhang Mu firmly made up his mind.
The Blood Lotus is known as The Source of Wood by the White Tiger, but so far, there has been no movement within the first grade.
He wanted to explore more abilities of the Blood Lotus, and the assistance of the first-grade Blood Lotus was already significant to him. If he advanced further, his methods would surely expand once again.
As for the other two, he could only reluctantly give up on them, regretting not saving enough points to trade with No. 37 earlier.
No. 37 was eager for Zhang Mu to leave, not even asking if he needed any other Era Universal Merchandise, immediately urging him to activate the mechanical inventory and extracting a star-shaped light sphere from it.
The light sphere flew out and landed smoothly in Zhang Mu’s palm, dispersing all its radiance, revealing a plant seed that looked like an apple seed.
“No. 001, Junior Era Sub-merchant, access granted, entitled to a 20% discount, totaling forty-eight thousand first-rank elemental crystals.”
“The transaction is complete, wishing you a happy life.”
As the sound fell, the golden list instantly transformed into scattered light beams, shooting out and returning to its original position.
Zhang Mu looked at the plain apple seed in his hand, then at the empty spot in the Era Merchant Ring where the first-rank elemental crystal was overflowing before, feeling somewhat helpless.
Is this apple seed a seed of a second-rank mutated plant? Or is it aggressive?
Previously, these types of goods were monopolized by the Era Sub-merchants placed before him. When it was his turn, it was basically a situation of zero stock, a situation that Zhang Mu had never encountered before.
It seemed like No. 37 noticed Zhang Mu’s worry and explained, “The types are randomly distributed, and I cannot decide either. But you don’t need to worry about the quality, it’s guaranteed. It’s just a seed, what unique shape can it have?”
The current Zhang Mu, upon receiving the item, tightly gripped the seed in the palm of his hand, eagerly wanting to return to the camp to advance the Blood Lotus. He bid farewell to No. 37, quietly exited the overlapping space where Era Store was located, and returned to the camp without making a sound.
After calming the mutated wolfhound sensing Zhang Mu’s presence, Zhang Mu silently walked into his own courtyard and sat cross-legged in the center of the courtyard.
Examining the plant seed in his hand again, Zhang Mu felt like the Blood Lotus in his left arm was about to burst out, wanting to come out immediately.
Zhang Mu could clearly feel the vine’s tip slowly touching his skin, and at any moment it could break free.
He sensed the Blood Lotus’s urge, but this urge did not consult with Zhang Mu; it seemed to want to override his will.
However, this was not what Zhang Mu wanted.
After focusing his mind, Zhang Mu controlled the restlessness of the Blood Lotus. It was not time for it to take charge yet. He concentrated his mental energy on his left arm, forcefully suppressing the Blood Lotus’s primal instinctive impulses.
I can give you things, but remember, they are gifts from me; you can’t take them by force.
This was the will that Zhang Mu imposed on the Blood Lotus repeatedly, regardless of whether it could understand.
It seemed to have understood, as the part of his left arm was now calm. The Blood Lotus did not give any feedback to Zhang Mu, appearing somewhat annoyed.
Its simple mind couldn’t comprehend why Zhang Mu was now restricting it so much. Zhang Mu had never been like this before; it had always been able to feed on blood, coming out of Zhang Mu’s body to feed without any refusal.
But now this man had started imposing restraints on it.
It’s like a child being stubborn, completely silent, not communicating with Zhang Mu.
Zhang Mu now feels exhausted, like he’s been pulled out of a steam room. Fighting with Blood Lotus has drained him mentally.
He had his reasons for doing so. The mysterious words from the White Tiger Cloud and the advice from number 36 made him more cautious. He started consciously controlling Blood Lotus’s thoughts.
After organizing his thoughts, when Zhang Mu tried to call out to Blood Lotus, it refused to come out. It showed no response, as if it was in a deep sleep.
If you didn’t give it to me before, I don’t want it now.
Why is it acting like a five or six-year-old child?
Zhang Mu forced a bitter smile, took out an Obsidian dagger, cut a long slash on his left forearm, and placed the mutant plant seed against his skin.
After a while, the apple seed slowly sank down.
