Chapter 98: Era rchant Shop
When the silver-haired leader caught up with Zhang Mu, Zhang Mu turned around and looked at him. He talked to him as though he was talking to an old friend. There were no hints of the displeasure that happened just now.
“Seems like you are still very eager about it. I thought that you really didn’t care?”
The leader didn’t put Zhang Mu’s mocking in his heart. He felt that the things Zhang Mu portrayed were all very ambiguous. This was why the leader was still guarding against Zhang Mu although he was stronger and more powerful than him. This ambiguous feeling made him very uncomfortable.
Zhang Mu saw his serious face and appeared shocked. He continued, “are you still scared? What is your power for then? If you are so weak fellow, you should just stay in your survival base and enjoy being the most powerful man there. Why are you doing this to yourself?”
“I have my own judgnt. You do not have to play with my emotions and try to confuse . You should know that such small tricks shouldn’t be used twice. We have been probing each other for so long and nothing ca out of it. Why are you still doing this?”
Zhang Mu laughed. He seed like a different person entirely. He was no longer the calm and composed Zhang Mu but appeared to be a cynical and playful youth. He gave the leader the impression that he was an experienced old man trapped in the body of a youth. He would have thought that Zhang Mu was like him, eating other people’s mory and gaining their experiences if he didn’t know that he was against cannibals.
Actually, he was quite near the truth. Zhang Mu’s existence was an even bigger BUG than him being able to gain people’s power and mory through eating them.
The Zhang Mu before had experienced and been through many things. This caused his ntality to be more mature than his actual age of 28. He wouldn’t say that he had seen through the vanity of the world, but he had no desires besides the few bottom lines that he had in his heart. He just wanted to peacefully finish his mission as an Era rchant and survived through the hard tis after the Cataclysm.
He had to prevent the Era rchant ring from sucking him dry. However, he was the fifth Era rchant and was always the last to choose his supplies. Most of the ti, there were no good supplies left for him and the distance between them grew. Because of this, Zhang Mu always wished that soone would leave so supplies for him or soone would despise the supplies and leave him a set. That way, he would be able to complete the basic mission of an Era rchant.
However, in reality, there were no supplies left for him. He would always experience the sa hopelessness when the robotic voice told him that all the supplies were gone. Hence, he could only run between the various Era rchant shops and used quantities to cover up his lack of quality. He had no ti to wait for opportunities and this was why he could complete the minimum golden leaves mission every ti just before the deadline.
The desire to live and the despair towards the future allowed Zhang Mu to see through many things and he started to hold lesser desires.
When Zhang Mu returned back to his younger body, he realised that he didn’t need to live so tiredly anymore. His body was still young and energetic and this subconsciously changed his way of thinking.
Because of this change, Zhang Mu’s personality and aura was filled with contradiction and harmony, making him hard to understand.
The reply by the silver-haired leader caused both of them to beco silent. In the end, it was Zhang Mu who broke the silence.
“What is your na? I can’t be calling you ‘hey’ or ‘silver-hair’ or ‘old man’ all the ti. From your looks, I think that you are slightly above 40?” Zhang Mu grinned at him and said to him. The leader was speechless. He felt that he needed to relook at Zhang Mu’s personality again. However, he also thought that what he said made sense and replied to him.
“I don’t have a na. I felt that I have too many people’s mory all combined together. If you didn’t bring it up, I would have forgotten about my na. There was no use for it in the survival base and I can’t use it to talk to the walking dead or the mutated animals either.”
“Why not call zero then. I didn’t expect you to ask this question and was a bit unprepared for it.”
The leader thought for a while before replying Zhang Mu. He had tried to think about his na before but was confused by the other mories and reached no conclusions.
“Zero. That is a good na.”
Zhang Mu replied and started thinking at the sa ti. He had captured a piece of important information. This man who nad himself ‘zero’ seed to be in a worse state than he had imagined.
He didn’t have a main conscience. Zhang Mu thought that no matter how much mories Zero consud, his conscience would be controlled by his main body or identity. However, this didn’t seem to be the case. If he continued to absorb more mories, Zhang Mu predicted that he would beco a monster.
Zhang Mu felt a tinge of sorrow. This thod of increasing your power was fast, but the consequences were high too. In order to get greater power, Zero was slowly losing himself.
This might be the reason why he wanted to find a stable source of power so urgently.
He must have realized that he didn’t have much ti left.
The two n were deep in thought but they didn’t slow down. In the blink of eye, they reached the Era rchant shop.
