Chapter 1009: Chapter 736: A Thing with Great Potential

```

Jing Meng is an official person, so her questions were mostly related to some future plans of the officials. Zheng Yichen had encountered such questions elsewhere before, um... in Chiang Wei’s world, and inside the Firmament Wheel world.

However, his responses weren’t very official. The reason he left a Storage Cabinet here was because he was interested in the Illusory Eye technology of this world. What else could attract him here?

"Proxy Agent, do you have a high opinion of the Illusory Eye?"

After asking several important questions, Jing Meng posed the last question, Zheng Yichen’s purpose. She wasn’t surprised, as they had already received too much intelligence from the Dusk mercenaries before.

The most unique aspects of their world are the Illusory Eye and the high-quality Mental power that their people naturally possess.

However, such Mental power can only be utilized through the Illusory Eye, or unprocessed illusory crystals would do as well, though the gap between unprocessed crystals and the Illusory Eye is significant.

An Innate high-quality Mental power allows them to achieve great advancements in other areas, provided they possess knowledge related to other types of Strength.

It’s just that their world environment is unique, as means like Magic would be weakened and can only display the corresponding Strength within the Eye World. This problem doesn’t exist in other worlds.

"Quite high, my usage experience has been very good," Zheng Yichen sincerely stated. As long as one understands the Strength well, they can manifest corresponding attacks, although these attacks only exist on the mental level.

But the attacks manifested by the Illusory Eye can interfere with reality, and even fire made through mental manifestation can ignite, not to be underestimated in terms of potential.

Anyway, he planned to use illusory crystals as materials to upgrade his equipment, and luckily it could be done quickly. Liu Hongzhao and the others hadn’t left yet, so they upgraded together.

This thing can strengthen one’s spiritual power, but those without Mental type abilities can also unleash extra combat power. It’s exceedingly handy, though it consumes spiritual power rather quickly in high-intensity battles.

But that’s unimportant. Even if not used in battle, it can still be utilized in daily life.

Zheng Yichen did not suggest that the people of this world should develop the Illusory Eye technology, but if they abandoned the development of this system, it would be tantamount to fundamentally weakening themselves.

Listening to Zheng Yichen’s evaluation, Jing Meng waited for a while. Seeing that no additional suggestions were forthcoming, she tactfully said, "I have no more questions."

Actually, she would have liked to hear more of Zheng Yichen’s suggestions, but without them, it was fine.

"Goodbye then."

Zheng Yichen said, no matter how strong he was in battle, it was still within battle. Day-to-day matters would proceed normally. Having resolved the issues here, he would help this world eradicate evil briefly and then head home!

"Has that Proxy Agent left?"

When Jing Meng returned to the courtyard of the Dusk Cathedral, someone immediately called her over. Jing Meng nodded and handed over her ’interview’ notes.

Looking at the not-so-extensive interview record, the person nodded and said, "Well done, from now on, your workplace will be here."

Jing Meng had no objections to this arrangement. Originally, she wanted to be a Dusk mercenary, but when she inquired with the Dusk nun, she wasn’t qualified.

Though she has Dusk adaptability, she doesn’t have the adaptability for Phenomena.

As for her job here, it would not be too busy, but she needed a clear understanding of time. In the interview, she specifically asked Zheng Yichen how he would communicate with their world.

Zheng Yichen told her he would arrange for an assistant to facilitate transdimensional communication through the Storage Cabinet on the hour, and he would arrange the specifics upon his return.

"Still uncomfortable." Back in the Hazy City world, Tanshia Firlo was listless in Zheng Yichen’s arms. The energy level in the Illusory Eye’s world was not low, and although external performance was limited, the internal aspects were unchanged.

Back in Hazy City, the double-low environment once again made the small white dragon feel uncomfortable.

Zheng Yichen petted the small white dragon’s head: "Take a nap first, I’ll take you back."

When they arrived back at his residence, the people there were somewhat stunned.

"Brother Chang Qing, was this mission pretty easy? Were you hurt?" Lin Yaoyao put aside her chess piece and hurried over to show concern.

"Not exactly easy, but there were gains. Later on... never mind, let’s go to Dusk tomorrow for another Strengthening session."

As for the frequent Strengthening, Zheng Yichen didn’t mind at all. Good things should be used right away, otherwise they might become ’coffin assets’. Besides, it’s not every time that special items are encountered.

Always holding back good things without improving one’s strength is the same as suppressing oneself. This mission was an example. He hadn’t used the resources he obtained earlier to Strengthen his abilities.

Against the Mental power to manifest white tiger, winning wouldn’t have been so easy. Unable to draw it over to Dusk, he would have had to take risks or keep fighting.

Like dealing with the sandworm that time, causing destruction from within its body.

Or breaking the ultimate boundary, spreading chaos, harvesting a lot of fear. A non-boundary breaking method would be to use Oblivion, which Zheng Yichen didn’t fancy using much.

Using Earth-Reducing could work too...

```

But with the World Tree seed for enhancement, killing the White Tiger becomes much easier.

"Brother Chang Qing, about those merit points..."

"This is just a minor enhancement. It won’t use too much." Zheng Yichen reassured Qi Xiangyun with a confident look and took out a box: "Here, I’ve brought back some special products. This is just the regular version; we’ll make a better one at Dusk tomorrow."

Zheng Yichen has always been spending merit points at Dusk, but there are many things at Dusk that don’t require merit points.

He uses merit points because his enhancements have larger scopes, and many things require merit points just to start, whereas ordinary services only require cash payment.

Lilith has the complete production data for the Illusory Eye, and Zheng Yichen has the necessary materials. Once the design is provided, Dusk only charges money to make the Illusory Eye.

However, this kind of production is only possible if there are existing blueprints; upgrades and modifications fall outside the normal service range of Dusk. If you want to upgrade or modify, you must add extra materials.

If the materials used are valuable, then it’s not just a matter of spending money; merit points are needed.

The cost of modifications also depends on the quality of the materials. If the quality isn’t sufficient and you’re capable of performing modifications on your own, then it is cheaper to go to Dusk.

If you are incapable of doing the modifications on your own, then it is expensive.

Zheng Yichen is capable of making the Illusory Eye himself, but not efficiently, which is why contracting Dusk for the job is cheaper.

But if you want to fuse a finished Illusory Eye with high-grade materials, and you can’t do this step yourself, you can only pay extra for Dusk to upgrade and modify it.

It’s not that Zheng Yichen is unwilling to learn or wishes not to actively master those technologies. Rather, some things just don’t have any substantial connection in principle, making it impossible to apply to certain upgrades or modifications. How could you learn that?

Dusk makes such impossibilities possible.

The next day.

Ahn Qi was waiting in the parking lot near the Dusk Cathedral with an anxious expression, knowing why she was there, yet when irritated, she did not give the Dusk Cathedral a single glance.

She lacked the adaptability to Dusk and would always neglect its existence in her daily life.

Despite having neglected the presence of Dusk, she still felt a displeasing sense of being an outsider.

Inside the Dusk Cathedral, Zheng Yichen looked at the bill for this transaction. The use of mere Illusory Crystals combined with some fabrication had cost him 15 merit points.

The Illusory Crystal wasn’t particularly rare in its world of origin, and Zheng Yichen could accept that price. Aside from the Illusory Crystal, the materials used also included fragments of the Boundary Breaking core.

These fragments were highly refined Illusory Crystals that had been processed and also carried additional effects, which is why they could serve as a material for something of the Boundary Breaking core’s caliber. Thus, Zheng Yichen unreservedly used these as enhancement materials.

Enemy materials? Turning the advantageous aspects of an enemy into one’s own benefits, isn’t that quite advantageous?

Plus, there’s a processing fee of twenty million... Ahn Longling brought over a large case full of prepared cash.

Rich ladies footing the bill, Zheng Yichen certainly didn’t hold back, his side had already used even more expensive items.

Even without processing Illusory Crystals into Illusory Eyes, they still had the effect of producing ’Phenomena’. Regarding usage in the manifestation of mental power, that requires an individual to have sufficiently fine control.

The human brain is not like a computer, which is why the Illusory Eye can maximize the use of the Illusory Crystal. Of course, there’s also a significant enhancement to the Illusory Crystal due to the technology involved in producing the Illusory Eye.

Therefore, during the enhancement process, it’s not that the Illusory Crystal is directly fused into the weapon or equipment, but rather, it’s integrated in the form of Illusory Eye production.

Considering these, -15 merit points are still acceptable. Of course, this kind of enhancement falls a little short in terms of convenience.

Unlike the normal Illusory Eye, which is directly installed in the eye, requiring no holding with hands, and is easier to operate without the extra step of ’rendering’ visually.

With weapons it’s different. After executing a mental manifestation, an additional ’rendering’ step is required, or else, for the user, although they can ’see’ what they have created, it lacks color.

After all, it’s just a mass manifested through the Illusory Crystal, imbued with Attributes of mental power.

This issue is easily solved with the standard Illusory Eye, and by adding in some World Tree leaves, it even protects the eyesight. The materials for the Illusory Eye are super-refined Illusory Crystals, so the effects are beyond doubt.

Zheng Yichen has made plenty of these that could be used as gifts, and the Illusory Crystals he obtained were also sent to various related worlds through the Storage Cabinet for research purposes.

"It feels very special, this helps greatly with my Mechanical Techniques." Qi Xiangyun used the newly acquired Illusory Eye; the production method remained the same, but the sensation was immediately different once the material of World Tree leaves was added compared to the previous day.

The Illusory Eye itself can be considered a micro-computer, capable of storing vast information for mental manifestation.

This means that once she returns to her own world, with this device, she can manually create various things that she couldn’t otherwise produce by hand.
