The world has turned into Hell's Game, why should I stay human?!-Chapter 1169 - 731: The Most Complex Mechanisms Require the Simplest Solutions

Chapter 1169: Chapter 731: The Most Complex Mechanisms Require the Simplest Solutions

Although in the perspective of the Peeping Eye, those light streams appear green, the light cluster is in fact white.

Strands of white light extend from who knows where and then entangle into a cluster.

But upon closer examination, they are distinctly separated, and it’s easy to find the origin of each strand.

Luckily, these light strands do not twist, they don’t feel too much like a living thing, otherwise Liu Zheng might physically lose his sanity.

"Should I destroy it?"

He stared at the light cluster, lost in thought.

Although destroying this light cluster would likely disable the mechanism, there’s also a significant chance of causing a chain reaction.

"Let’s try one more time."

Liu Zheng thought for a bit, cautiously extending the tips of his tentacles.

This time, he did not look at his own tentacles but focused intently on the light cluster.

As the tentacle tips passed over the corpse fragments of the small firepower team leader, several strands of light suddenly popped out from the light cluster, cutting the tips into pieces, and then retracted.

"So fast!"

Liu Zheng confirmed, with such speed, even if he could see clearly, his body couldn’t keep up.

Even having the "Broken Legendary Delivery Man’s Watch" that could increase speed tenfold was useless, because in this environment, he couldn’t exert himself fully.

"If I die, so be it."

He picked up "Anger" and stabbed towards the light cluster.

Facing the attack, the light cluster finally reacted, and several strands of light popped out again to coil around the blade.

Fortunately, the perfect quality chef’s knife was solid and happened to counteract this cutting attack style.

If it were a hammer or a marble-like blunt impact, Liu Zheng indeed wouldn’t dare risk using his only handy weapon.

He twisted the knife tip, turning the light cluster, which was like a work of art, into a complete mess.

At the same time, he held the "Indefinite Shadow" tightly, ready to run at any moment.

However, the passage remained unchanged.

So Liu Zheng repeated the process and destroyed the light cluster on the right wall.

He tentatively extended his tentacles again, and sure enough, they weren’t attacked anymore.

Thus, Liu Zheng collected the fragments of the small firepower team leader and his own tentacle fragments and continued to crawl forward.

The fragments of the small firepower team leader were first put into the Headless Mandarin Duck Pouch, to be cremated with the other small soldiers later.

As for the tentacle fragments, naturally, he ate them all up.

The tomb doesn’t compare to the outside where you can eat a banquet at any time, although he had brought quite a few supplies, saving where possible was wise.

Liu Zheng continued to worm his way forward, never again encountering clusters of gathered light, nor any other attacks.

"Hiss!"

Suddenly, he felt a strong dizziness.

At first, Liu Zheng thought he was under attack, but soon he discovered the source of the dizziness.

It was precisely from the eye socket equipped with the Peeping Eye.

"It turns out using it for too long has such side effects? System, why didn’t you mention this in the item description?"

Liu Zheng questioned in his mind.

"The item description is custom-tailored for players. Players can explore the additional effects of items and bear the consequences."

The system replied.

"But I didn’t explore the additional effects of the ’Peeping Eye’."

He said.

"Some items, when exposed to environmental stimuli or are particularly compatible with the player, will naturally exert additional effects."

The system replied again.

"I see. System, you explain so much, does that mean you also think it was unfair to drop me into the Metropolis?"

Liu Zheng asked cheekily.

As expected, the system did not answer.

"Heh."

He smirked.

Sometimes, no answer is also an answer.

He dares to say, in this messed up place called the Metropolis, even if you sent the entire 7 billion people from the real world one by one, there wouldn’t be more than a thousand surviving up until now.

Removing the Peeping Eye, the dizziness significantly decreased.

Liu Zheng speculated that this was most likely due to the Peeping Eye continuously draining his spiritual power.

Should he wait for his spiritual power to recover or continue moving forward?

He thought for a moment, then decided to continue forward.

After all, the delivery time is only three hours, and it already took him quite a few dozen minutes to get here; it’s uncertain how long the tomb raiding will take.

Compared to being without the Peeping Eye, the lack of enhancement from the Legendary Armor felt more dangerous.

After crawling for a few more minutes, there was finally some light ahead.

Liu Zheng didn’t even have time to be happy as the light rapidly approached him.

Startled, he immediately used "Iron Block" to brace himself for the impact.

"Splash!"

The sound of rushing water echoed through the passage as silvery glistening streams swept over Liu Zheng’s body.

These waters were not only rushing but also very heavy, and hitting him was like being slammed with a siege hammer, pushing him back several meters.

Judging by this, the current intended to sweep him out of the tomb, sending him back to where he came from.

If he were in a spacious area, Liu Zheng wouldn’t actually fear such turbulence.

With his current physical strength, he could stand firm even before a massive flood.

But in this narrow passage, he had nowhere to exert force.

At this moment, Liu Zheng wished his tentacles were those of an octopus, so he could use the suction cups to cling to the walls.

He wondered if, after absorbing the sea-dwelling relative "Dark Algae," his tentacles might grow suction cups.

"The Heart of the Ocean (Enhanced) is active."

Just then, the system’s prompt rang out again.

An invisible force enveloped Liu Zheng, allowing him to barely stabilize himself in the stream.

"Almost forgot I had that."

Liu Zheng was overjoyed and quickly exhaled all the air in his lungs, then began to inhale slowly.
