Chapter 32 ultimately failed.
On the ground, Zheng Zha's hands trembled as he held an old, yellowed book that had been artificially aged.
"sunflower."
"flower?"
"Baby~~"
"Classic!"
These four words seemed to possess some kind of strange magic; each time they were uttered, Zheng Zha's heartbeat quickened.
"Shut it up, Zheng Zha," Zhan Lan tried to dissuade him, but Wang Lu raised his hand to interrupt her.
"Don't put pressure on him. My eldest son's mental health is also very important."
"No..." Zheng Zha muttered to himself, completely unconcerned that Wang Lu was taking advantage of him. His eyes were fixed on the words on the manual, and he was drenched in sweat.
In his mind, a voice seemed to be everywhere, tempting him:
"Cut it off!"
"It solves all my worries!"
"They'll have to cut it off to survive!"
"Pick up this knife..."
"Aww!!"
A phantom pain startled him awake. Looking down, he realized that everything he had just experienced was an illusion.
"This book...this book contains a devil!" Zheng Zha threw the book aside and roared loudly.
Wang Lu: "There's no devil; this is just ordinary A4 paper. The real devil is your inner demon. It's your deepest desire for it! A desire for power! Zheng Zha, you are someone who craves power!"
"Face your conscience! Summon your courage! Take on the responsibility that belongs to you! The future of the Zhongzhou team rests on your shoulders! Be a responsible man!"
"Is he really a man?" Zhang Jie asked, his lips twitching.
"……Shut up."
"Zheng Zha, can you really bear to watch us perish in the team battle along with you? Think about it, Loli is still waiting for you! Waiting for you to bring her back to reality."
"Lolita!"
Zheng Zha's heart jolted, and memories of the past flooded back...
"If you die, Loli, who was finally resurrected, will perish once more. She's only a week old! She's never even seen the sun! Can you bear to let her leave with such regrets?"
"I...I..."
Zheng Zha almost blurted out that word—"OMG!"
In this critical moment, Chu Xuan spoke up: "It should still be some time before we encounter the Demon Team. Perhaps we can find a way to have the best of both worlds?"
"Yes! He's right! There must be a better way! I'm a genius! If I can unlock the fourth-tier gene lock before the team battle, can't I still beat the Demon Team?"
As if grasping at a straw, Zheng Zha cried out loudly.
Wang Lu shook his head in exasperation: "Why are you so stubborn, kid?"
Zheng Zha seemed to have regained his composure, standing up with a resolute expression: "Power gained by losing oneself is not true power! Even without that book, I can still defeat the Demon Team!"
"Good! That's ambitious!"
Wang Lu gave a thumbs up.
They're really stubborn; they won't give up until they hit rock bottom. Once they encounter the Demon Team clone and get punched into two pieces, they'll know that Sunflower is a good thing.
He shook his head: "If you don't want to practice, then don't. As your father, how could I bear to push you to the brink..."
"You son of a bitch! Stop bringing up my dad all the time, okay?"
Don't worry about the minor details.
"..."
"Alright, alright, let's not waste time on these boring family dramas. Let's figure out how to exchange them first."
"First and foremost! Resources should be concentrated on the Sunflower People! The Main God Space is a place where brute force can overcome all obstacles. No matter how many C-rank weaklings there are, they can't compare to a single A-rank powerhouse!"
"Do you think this is right?" Wang Lu began to patiently persuade him again.
The others immediately tightened their trouser pockets.
"What do you want? Chu Xuan has already given you the entire storyline, do you still want ours?"
Wang Lu waved his hand: "That's not what I meant. Look at Zero Point, Overlord, and Li Shuaixi. All three of them have exchanged for the Sunflower Manual, and their side quests can all be upgraded to DD level, but..."
"Three DD-rank Sunflower Men are definitely no match for one C-rank Sunflower Men! So..."
Chu Xuan: "You want us to create a side quest together to raise someone's Sunflower Manual level?"
"That's right. Don't you think it's unreasonable?"
"this……"
Of course it's unreasonable. Why should I let others spend my own money?
Everyone looked troubled.
Wang Lu understood their thoughts, so he pulled out his second trick: "The extra side quests triggered during rest periods will be at maximum difficulty! If we return to the dungeon to farm points, the enemies we encounter will likely be much stronger than the Queen in the dungeon!"
"Who do you think could survive against that kind of enemy?"
Li Shuaixi shook his head repeatedly: "Can I choose not to go back and grind for points?"
"The next show is Ju-on. Without buying some anti-spirit items, who can be confident they'll survive?"
Li Shuaixi shrugged: "Isn't that perfect? I have a C-level side quest and a D-level side quest. After exchanging for the DD-level Sunflower Manual, I can have another D-level side quest to buy the Buddha Wheel."
Damn it! You talk too much, you should just go die!
Wang Lu gave Zhang Jie a look.
With a thud, Li Shuaixi fell into a deep, baby-like sleep.
"Sorry, I misjudged. This guy has no talent; he should be with those seven noobs." Wang Lu pointed to the seven noob rookies still sleeping on the ground.
Zhang Jie casually pulled out a packing rope and tied Li Shuaixi and the other colorful young men, as well as two middle-aged men and a couple, together, making them the soon-to-be-dead minions.
Zhan Lan felt a chill run down her spine and quickly pledged her loyalty:
"I have one more C-rank side quest available! I'm willing to use it!"
Wang Lu waved his hand: "Your mental energy scan is also important. Just exchange it directly. After exchanging it, put all the extra reward points into your mental energy."
"Okay!" Zhan Lan was overjoyed and quickly contacted the main god to exchange the item on the spot, fearing that Wang Lu would change his mind.
Both Lingdian and Bawang were on tenterhooks.
Although their eyes held the magnanimity bestowed by the Sunflower Manual, they both obediently chose to hide it when faced with Wang Lu's fist, which was as big as a sandbag.
Wang Lu nodded in satisfaction and said, "You two are quite obedient. In that case, let's raise your Sunflower level first!"
"Zhang Jie, give Li Shuaixi a hint!"
Then, a series of erratic maneuvers began.
Zero and Overlord used their own D-rank side quests to enhance the D-rank Sunflower's advancement.
Li Shuaixi split his own C-level branch and used it to enhance Zero Point and Overlord's DD-level Sunflower.
Then, Overlord and Zero used their own C-level side quests to upgrade Sunflower to C-level.
Swah——
A white light fell.
Both of them simultaneously gained 1800 points in three-dimensional attributes and 18 years of Sunflower True Qi.
Wang Lu received attribute bonuses from the Overlord.
Li Xiaoyi died because Zheng Zha returned the goods. Zero chose the Magic Eye, but received no bonus.
Wang Lu's current total attribute bonuses are: Fuzha 3700; Bawang 1140; Total 4840
His own attributes are:
智力111；精神力500；肌肉组织强度100（+4840）；细胞活力100（+4840）；神经反应速度100（+4840）；免疫力200。
After the enhancement ended, everyone had only one C and one D in their account.
After the enhancement, Zero Point Overlord's aura changed abruptly.
He exuded an extremely dangerous and terrifying aura; even a casual punch or kick could create a sonic boom! Crackling sounds echoed throughout the square.
Moreover, as their Sunflower True Qi increased, their entire demeanor changed drastically! Their eyes became arrogant, their necks began to tilt upwards, and they looked at Wang Lu with a hint of challenge.
But the intense killing intent that Wang Lu's gaze carried as he lightly swept over them instantly brought the two to their senses, causing them to suppress their fighting spirit.
Seeing Zheng Zha's bewildered expression, Wang Lu spoke earnestly:
"After Zero and Overlord are upgraded, their single attribute exceeds 2000 points. I can hardly imagine how hard you would have to work to defeat them?"
Zheng Zha's face turned green. Just a moment ago, Zero Point Overlord was a nobody; now, he could be punched into two pancakes!
He cried out in despair, "Why does such a technique exist?! Isn't the Supreme God forcing everyone to cut their cards?! Even if I unlock my genetic potential to the fourth level! A hundredfold increase in combat power, I can only manage a draw with the two of them at best?!"
That's not quite right. The power of a fourth-order gene lock is something that a mere 2000 attribute points can't withstand.
However, by the time Zheng Zha reaches the fourth-tier gene lock, Zero and Overlord's Sunflower Manuals will most likely have been upgraded to B-grade or even A-grade, with attributes worth tens of thousands. They are truly harder than titanium alloy, and even Superman couldn't break through them...
Thinking of that scene, Wang Lu couldn't help but chuckle, looking at Zheng Zha with pity, and said:
"You're too optimistic. Don't forget, you, the clone, are also a lock-picking genius."
"In the future, you will face an enemy who has practiced the Sunflower Manual, whose single attribute can reach tens of thousands when circulating true qi, and who can also unlock his gene lock, amplifying his combat power by tens or hundreds of times!"
“…………”
Zheng Zha closed his eyes in despair.
Or maybe we should just order it directly.
