The Great Merchant in the Cataclysm

would be able to complete the basic mission of an Era Merchant.

However, in reality, there were no supplies left for him.
He would always experience the same hopelessness when the robotic voice told him that all the supplies were gone.
Hence, he could only run between the various Era Merchant shops and used quantities to cover up his lack of quality.
He had no time to wait for opportunities and this was why he could complete the minimum golden leaves mission every time 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 become silent.
In the end, it was Zhang Mu who broke the silence.

“What is your name? I can’t be calling you ‘hey’ or ‘silver-hair’ or ‘old man’ all the time.
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 name.
I felt that I have too many people’s memory all combined together.
If you didn’t bring it up, I would have forgotten about my name.
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 me 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 name before but was confused by the other memories and reached no conclusions.

“Zero.
That is a good name.”

Zhang Mu replied and started thinking at the same time.
He had captured a piece of important information.
This man who named himself ‘zero’ seemed 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 memories Zero consumed, 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 memories, Zhang Mu predicted that he would become a monster.

Zhang Mu felt a tinge of sorrow.
This method 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 time left.

The two men were deep in thought but they didn’t slow down.
In the blink of eye, they reached the Era Merchant shop.
