I Contracted Myself-Chapter 101 – Morning glory

Zhang Shouzhong sneered, "Do you believe I'll kill you? A captive should know their place."

"You're really different from Zhang Ping," Zhao Yanhu closed his eyes in disappointment, no longer speaking.

He had thought everyone from Mingzhu City was like Zhang Ping. But after testing the waters, he found that both Cheng Xuejie and Zhang Shouzhong were quite 'normal.'

Indeed, Zhang Ping was the unusual one.

"By the way, remember to bring morning glory when you head to the training area!" Situ Shibai said.

Zhang Ping was puzzled, "Morning glory? Why?"

"Hehe, you'll find out once you get it," Situ Shibai teased.

But Feng Laixian interjected, "Senior, is it because of the Mountain Ancestor?"

"Hehe, not bad, young man. You actually know about the Mountain Ancestor," Situ Shibai laughed.

Feng Laixian said solemnly, "I just heard from an old friend that there's a King Grade Mutated Beast in the wild named Mountain Ancestor. As long as you wear morning glory, it won't attack you. But I didn't know it was near the training area."

"To be precise, the Mountain Ancestor is outside the Investigation Team's training area. To enter the training area, you must pass over the Mountain Ancestor's back. If you don't want to be eaten, it's best to bring morning glory!" Situ Shibai explained.

Zhang Ping was confused, "Why won't it eat us if we wear morning glory?"

"Because the Mountain Ancestor doesn't like the smell of morning glory," Situ Shibai replied.

Zhang Ping was taken aback; the reason was simply that it didn't like the smell?

But thinking about it, it made sense.

We are ", find us on google.

Humans have preferences because they have choices, so their food preferences are more pronounced.

In reality, most animals also have things they like and dislike to eat, but often, they don't have a choice.

A King Grade Mutated Beast is definitely not an ordinary animal.

So the Mountain Ancestor has choices, and naturally, it won't eat what it doesn't like.

At this moment, the rain suddenly stopped.

Zhang Ping looked up at the dark clouds and sighed helplessly. It would be great if there was sunlight.

His King's Blood Body could replenish lost blood by absorbing sunlight. If there was sunlight, he could create King's Gems while walking, preventing being cornered by the Sunbird.

It looked safe now, but it felt like walking a tightrope on a cliff.

If they didn't reach the training area within thirty minutes, they might be hunted by the Sunbird.

He had already created four King's Gems, consuming about ten percent of his blood. Although it had just rained, and he absorbed a lot of water through localized Pure Water transformation to replenish his blood, it took time to convert and couldn't be done instantly.

If he kept creating King's Gems and used localized Pure Water transformation to recover lost blood, he could probably create thirty King's Gems in the next thirty minutes.

After all, the speed of Pure Water converting to blood has its limits.

If he couldn't replenish his blood in time, he might even faint from excessive blood loss.

Therefore, maintaining a good rhythm was crucial.

If there was sunlight, it wouldn't be so troublesome. He could absorb sunlight and replenish water simultaneously, having two sources of blood production, allowing him to create King's Gems without worry.

Now, he had to take it slow to avoid sudden excessive blood loss and harming himself.

He activated his ability again, and in an instant, an irregular octagonal gem appeared—a Bomb Gem.

"Huh, so that's how it is!"

Zhang Ping initially disliked the Bomb Gem, feeling its usefulness was far less than the other types of gems. But when he put the Bomb Gem in his pocket and two Bomb Gems touched, he sensed a change.

The power of the two Bomb Gems doubled.

Not just their combined power, but each gem's power doubled.

So if there were three Bomb Gems, would the power triple?

What about four?

Curious, he created another gem.

This one was a bead-shaped gem, looking no different from a regular bead, except it had a hole, resembling a bead taken from a bracelet.

A Hole Gem?

Zhang Ping played with it briefly and then understood the ability of this King's Gem.

This gem's effect was quite interesting. By throwing it at a target location, it could create a three-meter diameter hole, penetrating up to a hundred meters of material, though it was ineffective against living beings.

For instance, if there was a wall blocking the way, Zhang Ping could throw the Hole Gem to create a hole in the wall.

This gem would definitely come in handy in specific situations.

Zhang Ping put the gem away, took out a bottle of pure water from the Golden Treasury, drank it, and continued creating King's Gems.

This time, he created a Golden Finger Gem, but he decided not to use it immediately, choosing to save it for when it was needed.

After all, the situation wasn't urgent enough to waste such a strategic gem.

"Do these gems you create each have different abilities?" Liu Sishan, walking beside Zhang Ping, asked curiously.

She knew Zhang Ping's abilities would increase, but this gem-creating ability seemed quite unusual.

Zhang Ping shook his head, "Not every gem has a different ability. So far, only a few types have appeared."

He smiled and created another King's Gem.

A cylindrical gem appeared in his hand instantly.
