That is true.
Zhou Zhuxing certainly knows where the old gardener is.
But compared to that, Cheng Shuili was more concerned about: "Do you know everything that happened before you awakened?"
The Ring Spirit replied naturally and asked in return: "Is there anything I cannot know?"
Cheng Shuili: "..."
That was not what she meant.
She had always worn the Abyss Ring as a mere accessory. If someone suddenly told her this thing was a high-definition audio surveillance camera, who could handle that?
However, the item's capabilities had already been demonstrated, and there would be many places it could come in handy in the future. Cheng Shuili could not just take it off and put it away now.
Besides... where would she put it? She could not exactly stuff the Abyss Ring inside the Abyss Ring.
Cheng Shuili wore a displeased expression and let out a low sigh.
The Ring Spirit, however, shamelessly leaned in: "Nothing else you want to ask? For instance, that headless corpse stored in the space; are you not planning to deal with it?"
A headless corpse? It must be referring to Fengyun Tianxia.
Although Cheng Shuili already knew it was a puppet, she still had not discarded it.
She always felt it was useful to keep; what if she could find out who sent it through the corpse?
Leaving a grudge unavenged was not Cheng Shuili's personality.
Hearing the Ring Spirit say this, she immediately took out the headless corpse of Fengyun Tianxia. "Speak, what can you tell from this?"
"Tell from it, you ask?" The Ring Spirit drew out the sound, but the second half of the sentence was a blunt twist: "I certainly cannot tell anything."
"You cannot tell and you—"
Cheng Shuili was just about to scold it, but she was blocked again by this creature.
"Do not be anxious. While I cannot tell, someone else can."
The Ring Spirit gave a soft laugh and negotiated with Cheng Shuili in a gentle tone: "How about this? You promise me you will not keep this thing in the storage space, and I will tell you how to find the clues to get your revenge."
What kind of demand was this?
Cheng Shuili was a bit slow; only then did she realize that since the Ring Spirit brought this up so suddenly, could it be: "You despise this thing?"
"I do."
Cheng Shuili: "..."
It admitted it just like that?
Knowing the reason made Cheng Shuili even more silent. This meant that from now on, she could not just store whatever she wanted in the Abyss Ring!
This was a bad thing.
Cheng Shuili narrowed her eyes and probed: "Did you not say that I am your... master?"
"Yes," the Ring Spirit's voice was extremely natural, "If you insist on stuffing this thing into the space and insist that I tell you how to find the clues, I will tell you. After all... you are my master."
She even drew out the sound; the latter half of the sentence sounded like she was acting spoiled.
Cheng Shuili thought she was really pushing her luck!
"Who should I go to see?"
"Go to the beastman town first and find the old gardener. She will introduce you to that mysterious puppeteer."
Cheng Shuili paused, "You are very familiar with these people?"
"They are all my colleagues, so of course I know them."
Colleagues.
This term often appeared on the Abyss Insight of the Abyss Ring.
Cheng Shuili thought for a moment and put Fengyun Tianxia's corpse away again.
The Ring Spirit was just as she had claimed; although reluctant, she would obey all of Cheng Shuili's orders. Perhaps because of this, she did not utter another word or even a hint of dissatisfaction.
Cheng Shuili raised her hand and turned the ring while thinking for a moment, then said: "I will put the corpse in the territory later. I also suddenly feel that carrying a corpse around is not very good."
The Ring Spirit did not say anything more, but she let out a soft laugh.
...
Cheng Shuili handled everything and lay on the sofa, eating a few strawberries.
These were fruits grown in the sunroom.
Although the sunroom could only grow a limited variety of crops, they matured quickly, and one did not need to fertilize, weed, or catch insects to get delicious fruit.
Plus, now that energy stones were no longer rare, Cheng Shuili specifically built a batch of sunrooms and had Zhou Zhuxing and her partner look after them. They would harvest regularly, keep a portion for themselves to eat, and put the rest on the shelves of the faction's warehouse.
The sales results could be described as supply falling short of demand.
Cheng Shuili took another bite of the strawberry in her hand, tossed the leaves into the trash can, and as if she had fully recovered, sat up from the sofa with a spring in her step.
It seemed she had bought something else at the trading post.
Right, the Heart of Creation.
Cheng Shuili found the exquisite little box among a pile of fruits and vegetables and opened it to take a look.
Whether it was the Heart of Creation or this Heart of Creation, they were both works of art.
But Cheng Shuili did not care whether they were art or not; she wanted to upgrade her workstation.
【Current Workstation Level: lv2】
【Upgrade materials required for level 3: Heart of Creation ×1, iron block ×30, iron nail ×40, insulation material ×12, heat-shielding material ×8, plastic ×30, rubber ×30, fiberboard ×100, alloy parts ×100, wire ×100.】
These materials...
She had them all.
Cheng Shuili was definitely not lacking in these things.
She gathered the items one by one, finally placed the Heart of Creation on the workstation, and then chose to upgrade.
After clicking, the workstation was completely wrapped in a dazzling cocoon of light.
Materials flew in one after another, throwing themselves into the light cocoon. Inside, faint and dense sounds of metal friction and component assembly emerged, as if countless skillful hands were performing precise modifications.
A moment later, the light faded, and the brand-new workstation appeared before Cheng Shuili's eyes.
Its volume was a circle larger than before. If the vehicle had not been constantly upgrading, there really would not have been a place to put it.
【Workstation upgrade successful! Current level: lv3 (Max Level)】
It was actually max level?
Cheng Shuili was surprised for a moment and nimbly pulled out the user manual for the workstation.
The content had indeed been updated.
【Note: Production requires blueprints! Blueprints can be used infinitely once obtained!】
【Note: Regardless of what happens during production, you cannot leave the workstation. Please choose a safe time to produce!】
【Current workstation features: Blueprint Improvement, Fully Automatic Rental.】
The new feature was this fully automatic rental.
Cheng Shuili clicked to view the details.
【Fully Automatic Rental: Are you also worried because there are too many blueprints and the materials are complex? Have you ever longed to free your hands and let machines automatically create wealth for you? Choose the fully automatic rental feature, set the blueprints to be rented out, and the processing fees to be collected! No other operations are required; the workstation will tirelessly continue to earn game coins from other players for you! Supports multiple players using it at the same time; customers do not need to wait in line! (Note: During the rental period, the workstation will lock all blueprints and cannot perform other operations.)】
This feature... was simply a lazy person's gospel!
And this 'cannot perform other operations' should specifically refer to the Blueprint Improvement feature, right?
Cheng Shuili had mixed feelings about the Blueprint Improvement feature. She loved it because the item's utility was indeed great, and the reason she hated it was also obvious.
She had improved it so many times, she could at least succeed once!
