"I will take the ti to learn about it when I have the chance,"
Afterward, she began telling Zheng Yichen about Evil Spirits and ntal Aberration creatures; simply put, Evil Spirits have brains, whereas ntal Aberration creatures rely more on instinct. It’s hard to communicate with ntal Aberrations, but chatting with Evil Spirits isn’t particularly difficult, plus they’re adept at lurking and disguise.
Alice also shared with Zheng Yichen many ways to weaken and deal with those beings. Zheng Yichen thought for a mont and said, "I need the thods you use to cultivate those magical herbs and so of that knowledge, can you give a copy?"
"What do you need these for? Learning this stuff is a waste of ti. If you need so tools, I can make them for you."
"I have two witches in my family who study magic."
"Witches? Like those with pointed hats, resembling old hags?" Alice thought of witches in that way, which was how her mother had described them when telling stories in her childhood.
"No, they’re quite beautiful."
"Beautiful, eh..." as Alice looked at her own ashen palms, "I should be pretty too. You can have those notes, but it will take so ti to transcribe them. I still need my notes."
"No problem, I can take them when I co back, you don’t mind giving a physical examination, do you?" Having learned all he needed to, Zheng Yichen had no reason to stay any longer.
"Are you a warrior or a researcher?"
"A warrior, but I carry quite a few things that might be helpful for your condition." Zheng Yichen had a certain déjà vu when he looked at Alice’s body with thermal vision.
It was the sa half-dead-and-alive state he had experienced in the last world, where he was almost blasted to death in Hell by a big explosion.
"You might not care about so things, but I do. To , you’re still a stranger," Alice wasn’t planning to let Zheng Yichen touch her.
Zheng Yichen didn’t insist, "See you then. I might be back in ten days, a half-month, or maybe one to two months. By then, I hope to get what I want."
"You aren’t... worried I might run away? The things you gave are far more valuable than everything you’re getting from ," Alice hadn’t directly touched the Essence of Life, but just feeling the lifeforce from the bottle made her feel truly alive again.
Very few things could influence her condition, let alone sothing that could have an effect just by its re presence; it was sothing she had longed for.
"Do you think soone who could easily produce such things would care about a loss like this? What you have in your hands is the Essence of Life, not to hide anything from you, but my body is filled with the stuff."
"..." Alice looked at Zheng Yichen in surprise and said, "Although I don’t know what you’re intending to do, I think you need a companion who understands this world very well."
"Aren’t you being a bit too practical?" Zheng Yichen twitched the corners of his mouth in surprise at the ’zombie bride’s’ pragmatism.
Alice’s expression remained calm, "I very much want to return to normal, not to be seen as a moving corpse in everyone’s eyes."
"No way, what I’m doing is dangerous. Not to hide it from you, but I’m here to save the world, to fight against a group of extrely vicious people. You feel like laughing?"
Alice nodded, "My emotional reactions are weak, but this ti I genuinely feel like laughing."
"Then laugh, just rember our agreent, it doesn’t matter if you think I’m crazy." With that, Zheng Yichen waved his hand, ready to leave. Talk of saving the world seed like a fairy tale; who would believe it unless faced with a true dire situation?
So Zheng Yichen wasn’t lying about this, nor was he inclined to explain further—if they believed him, great, if not, so be it.
"Wait, assuming you really are here to save the world, you might find these items useful." Alice took out two black wooden orbs from so small leather bags she carried.
The orbs bore twisted carvings that resembled the faces of so malevolent spirits. When Zheng Yichen touched them, they felt cold as ice, like tal that had been frozen in a refrigerator.
The way Zheng Yichen took these objects made Alice shake her head, "You truly are fearless."
"Hahaha, because I’m strong, how do you use these? Just smash them into soone, or what?"
"Smashing them will do, treat these as grenades, but the best way to deploy their effects is by stuffing them directly into an enemy’s mouth. Rember to use them from a distance of ten ters away."
Zheng Yichen pocketed the two black wooden orbs. The energy and strength levels in this world weren’t on par with those of the Firmant Wheel world, but the energy levels seed quite close; the strength levels, however, were considerably weaker, slightly less so than in Qi Xiangyun’s world.
But all this was within Zheng Yichen’s acceptance range; in this world, his physical strength was top-tier. Added to his body’s Performance Coefficient, he was like a super biological entity in human form—if a T-rex could turn into a human, it would be him.
"Alright, I’m off." Having left Alice’s place, Zheng Yichen rode off towards his destination. As for the information Alice had provided about the mystical artifacts, Lilith had recorded it all down. Moreover, Alice was still within Lilith’s range for energy monitoring, and Lilith had already learned about Alice’s physical condition through energy detection.
While it wasn’t as detailed as a direct physical examination, the difference was negligible.
