Chapter 975: Part 1: Puppet Zero in action
From MC’s Perspective:
Inside the Gregor Mansion,
Time passed,
The condensed mana liquid is slowly sipping into the injured organs and starting healing. But the process was slow.
From time to time, I opened my eyes and checked my condition. When the condensed liquid was emptied. I started to pour one bottle after another.
Outside,
The Ancient Rock Tribe people still fail to find the intruder. In the end, their leader made a decision to call off the search. He thinks that the intruder has likely left the city.
The other hand, the Magic Artifact was restarted again. With the Artifact’s protection. If anyone infiltrates again, they will know immediately.
A day later,
After using most of the condensed mana liquid. My injury was stabilized. Now, I can meditate as well. Thanks to the Physique, I found out there was a passive recovery as well.
If I had not been injured severely, I wouldn’t have known about the Physique’s ability.
Then I sat cross legged on the ground and began to meditate.
3 hours later,
I opened my eyes. With a thought I summoned the status panel.

The status panel appeared. My eyes fell on the details. I have only recovered half. It will take a few more days to recover completely.
Sigh!
After analyzing the information, I sighed inwardly. Then I closed the status panel and decided to take a rest.
Anyway, I’m not foolish to go out right now.
Especially in this condition. Not only that, the Peak Wizards are patrolling outside. I don’t want to be in the same situation again.
A cold glint flashes in my eyes. Next, I should prepare a backhand to deal with the Peak Wizards.
A few days passed in the blink of an eye,
With the consumption of mid grade mana stones and remaining condensed mana liquid. My injuries were all healed and I returned to the Peak State.
After getting a bath, I changed into new clothes and appeared in the control room. In the control mirror, I’m seeing the outside scenes.
The collapsed building was rebuilt. There are people walking past inside the building. My eyes turned cold.
“I don’t know what’s going on outside,” I muttered to myself.
Suddenly, a good idea comes to mind.
“That’s right, the Zero Puppet,” I mumbled. I had never expected the spy puppet to help me this soon.
Then I started waiting for the night time.
Swoosh!
When it was late at night. I appeared outside. The room was dark. I quickly spread my mental power to check. There is no one inside the building. Read new chapters at M-V-L
After confirming it, I started walking towards the terrace. This 3 storey building is small compared to other high rise buildings.
I arrived at the terrace. Looking at the surroundings, the recent memories flashes before my eyes. Thinking about the sudden confrontation with the Peak Wizard a few days ago.
A hint of apprehension flashes in my eyes.
I took the Puppet Zero out. Then I placed so many mid grade mana core stones in its core. With an influx of mana energy, the puppet’s circuit becomes activated.
Shortly after,
“Master,” Zero greeted.
“Good, I want you to survey this area and find out the entrance to the forbidden area which is connected to the lawless country.”
“Beware of the Peak Wizards. Don’t get caught by them,” I said to the puppet.
“Master, I was made to do these things. I will give you detailed intel later,” Zero said.
“Here, take these extra mid grade stones,” I gave the puppet a few more mid grade stones. Then I instructed him to return to this exact spot after finishing the mission.
He just has to call out. I will appear outside. For extra safety, I gave Puppet Zero the Black Magic Cloak and Mask.
I have a System with me. So no one can pry into my details.
After sending the Puppet Zero, I returned to the Gregor Mansion. I’m looking forward to seeing Puppet Zero’s performance.
Because, Puppet Zero’s intelligence gathering skills are not given by me but the Star Inheritance Place. Once the Zero Puppet finishes the task, I can truly know how strong the Star Puppet Inheritance is?
Outside,
Puppet Zero wore the cloak and Mask to cover the identity. Because of the already installed spying skills. It quickly blended into the dark atmosphere.
As per Master’s order, the Puppet Zero began to act. It found no presence in building on both sides of streets. So it cautiously moves forward.
Not long after, it found the residential areas. Where the Living activities can be sensed. The Puppet Zero began to start the task of intel collection by eavesdropping.
At this time, the puppet is standing near the window of the living room. The couples inside speak to each other.
“Husband, when are you going outside hunting?” A middle aged woman wearing ancient leather clothes asked.
“Elder has given order. No one can enter or go outside for a month,” The middle aged man sitting on the sofa helplessly.
“What?”
“One month?”
“How can we run our home? Our stocks are almost empty. I can only manage it for a few days. Then there will be no food left,” the wife said anxiously.
The middle aged man’s face turned dark. But what he can do. It was the order passed down by their Tribe Leader. Otherwise, the Elders won’t inform them.
“Wait, Anna. I think life will return to normalcy soon. Then I can enter the Burning Forest to catch some prey.”
“If there is a chance, I can enter the Lawless country with elders to sell the goods. In that way, we can earn more money,” The Middle Aged Man tried to comfort his wife.
Outside, Puppet Zero wrote down the information. After noticing that there was no further useful conversation, it started targeting the next head.
The other hand, the Magic Artifact is active. But it can only respond after sensing the visitor. For foreigners already in the city, the Artifact can’t do anything.
But this point was missed by the Elder and the Tribe Leader. Rather, nobody would have guessed that the spy was still in their territory bidding for the right time.
Shortly after, the Puppet Zero came to another residential area. This time the residential area is quite big. It’s a white mansion opened for the guests.
There are 2 guards stationed outside of the gate. Puppet Zero carefully infiltrated the Mansion without alerting them.
The Puppet Zero’s movement was Swift like a shadow. It quickly finds another living target near the window.
Inside the room, there is a familiar person speaking to Butler.
“Young Master, what to do now?”
“The Ancient Rock Tribe banned us from leaving. Until the one month period is over. We have to do nothing but wait over here,” the butler said in a solemn tone.
“I Stuart John didn’t expect to fall in this predicament,” He said in his heart.
A few days ago,
He had decided to leave the place because of a tense situation here. But the Leader of the Ancient Rock Tribe stopped them from leaving.
For why? They are looking for some spy getting into their territory. Now, a few days have passed. They still haven’t got the culprit.
Which shows whoever it was. The person has long since escaped.
“Young Master, why don’t you request help from the Clan,” The Butler asked.
Hearing that Stuart raised his hand to stop.
“I have come outside to gain experience. This little trouble is nothing. At Least, we are in the neighboring country.”
“The other hand, wizards like Wanderer Ethan are going to distant countries to gain experience. Comparing it to him, my situation was a lot better,” Stuart replied.
Outside, Puppet Zero notes down the information as well. After listening to them for a few minutes, Puppet Zero left the spot.
Then it continued targeting a few more rich households to gather intel.
