Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day-Chapter 878 - 626: Black Dragon Spear!_2

[Ho ho ho ho~ Such a rare treasure! If the materials weren't so scarce, there wouldn't only be two in the world. If you can buy it at the price of a hundred thousand red crystal coins, it's an absolute steal!]

"This spear…" Li Zheng reached out to touch it, only to be repelled by the protective barrier on the shelf. "Can you hold onto it for me? I'll buy it once I've saved enough money."

"You like this weapon?" Zi Yuan was surprised, then explained, "It's not difficult to hold it for you."

He pointed to a line of small text at the bottom of the description, saying, "Can you see it?"

Li Zheng looked closely. The small print read: For those unable to wield the Black Dragon Spear, no sale at a premium!

"What does this mean?" Li Zheng asked curiously. "How can there be a reason to not sell it even for more money?"

"This is a privilege given by the teacher to the senior brother," Zi Yuan explained. "Only the senior brother in the shop has this privilege because the things he makes always have some quirky features."

He turned Li Zheng around and pointed at the row of shelves behind them: "These are all works of the senior brother. Look at this crossbow; the condition is, no sale to those of a wingless race!"

Then he pointed to the bow beside it: "No sale to those with long wings! Over there, no sale to those with scales, and there, no sale to those with thick fur..."

Li Zheng was stunned: "Why are there such strange restrictions? Doesn't that affect the shop's business?"

"Yes, but there's no choice. Some restrictions, if not added, would affect the shop's reputation even more." Zi Yuan sighed helplessly, pointing at the senior brother's creations, "Haven't you noticed that all of the senior brother's works are weapons? And they all have different engravings."

Li Zheng looked at them one by one and found it to be true.

Besides the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon on the Black Dragon Spear, he also found a phoenix-like engraving on the crossbow and peacock feathers on the bow. Among them, there were no less than fifty engravings that Li Zheng could recognize!

And there were many more whose origins he couldn't identify at all, needing Old Pu to explain them to him!

Seeing his continued confusion, Zi Yuan smiled and fiddled a bit on the Black Dragon Spear's shelf, disabling the protective barrier: "Experience it for yourself, and you'll understand the senior brother's intention."

Li Zheng hesitated for a moment: "Is it really okay?"

"Of course," Zi Yuan said, "If you can't wield the Black Dragon Spear, it would cease your intention to buy it, saving you from buying it with saved money only to find it useless."

"Isn't it just a weapon?" Li Zheng reached out for the Black Dragon Spear, thinking, "Could it be that in the hands of the wrong person, it would... um?"

In the instant he grabbed the Black Dragon Spear, he suddenly froze.

Although the spear appeared lightweight, it was incredibly heavy, so much so that with his current physique, he couldn't lift it or even move it slightly!

Given his current physique, moving something weighing ten tons was no problem.

Yet, this Black Dragon Spear, which could be held with one hand, he couldn't lift?!

"Do you understand now? Those who can't wield the Black Dragon Spear have trouble even picking it up. If someone bought it and couldn't take it away, wouldn't our shop's reputation suffer?" Zi Yuan laughed and reached out to re-enable the protective barrier. However, he noticed Li Zheng looking anxiously at his hand gripping the spear, not intending to release it.

"Since you're not the chosen wielder of the Black Dragon Spear, let go. I understand your affection for a desired weapon, but what's not yours ultimately can't be taken away, so release it."

A bead of cold sweat appeared on Li Zheng's forehead: "What if I told you that my hand is stuck to the Black Dragon Spear? Would you believe me?"

"How could that be?" Zi Yuan was surprised. "Don't joke around; this has never happened before!"

Li Zheng felt an irresistible suction from the Black Dragon Spear's shaft, causing his palm to cling tightly to it, unable to release.

At that moment, this bizarre situation left him unable to lift the Black Dragon Spear or let go.

"Wait here; I'll call the teacher!" Zi Yuan tried to prise Li Zheng's fingers open, but no matter how much effort he used, it was ineffective. Li Zheng's hand seemed to have turned into indestructible alloy, unmoved by Zi Yuan's attempts.

Unable to handle such an unprecedented situation, Zi Yuan ran behind the blacksmith shop to consult with the teacher, the Blacksmith.

Just as he left, there was more change in Li Zheng's hand!

A fine needle seemed to emerge from the grip where the Black Dragon Spear was held, piercing Li Zheng's palm. He then felt his blood being drawn into the spear shaft.

Strangely, when Li Zheng looked closely, he couldn't see any change in the Black Dragon Spear, as if his blood had vanished into thin air.

[Sigh, you really are a fool!]

Old Pu sighed in resignation and gave a hint:

[Look at the dragon's head!]

The dragon's head?

Li Zheng looked as instructed and discovered that the previously empty eyes of the Golden Dragon now contained a pair of vibrant eyes slowly appearing!

Those eyes were entirely filled with blood, yet, they didn't seem sinister. Instead, they exuded a sense of majesty!

"Is this... finishing the dragon's eyes?" Li Zheng recalled a saying: "Could it be that the engravings made by the senior brother were actually incomplete, lacking the final step?"

[To be accurate, they're completed. This is merely the recognition process. Never thought anyone in this universe could perform such craftsmanship...]
