Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 106 Tech Cup: Free Your Hands, Enjoy a Better Life.

After picking up all the scattered materials in the room and taking inventory, Li Zheng was surprised to find that there were actually ten silver-level basic modules.

Material income for this room: Iron Ingots +5, Copper Ingots +3, Basic Modules +10
"The harvest is not bad."

Li Zheng was very satisfied with the material room this time. After all, most of the material rooms he had encountered before contained iron ingots and copper ingots, and at most, he could find some bronze-grade B25 manganese steel.

"However, the truly valuable thing this time is not the material."

Li Zheng turned his gaze back to the computer screen, walked over quickly, and easily reached down to touch it.

"As expected, there was only one USB drive."

After the incident in the first room, Li Zheng knew that even if these USB drives were plugged into the computer, the computer would not directly read and display the blueprints unless the players unplugged them to transfer ownership.

"It's like...taking your pants off to fart."

I glanced at the newly acquired USB drive in my hand; it was a bronze-level blueprint.

[Tech Cup Construction Diagram, Bronze Level, Learnable]
Description: You can learn how to make the Tech Cup.

Required materials: 2 iron ingots, 2 copper ingots, 5 advanced parts, 5 bionic tissues

"Tech Cup?"

After reading the attribute description, Li Zheng couldn't figure out the item's function from its name.

"Insert it to see the pictures and text."

I casually plugged the USB drive back in, and the computer screen automatically lit up, displaying the drawing content.

The first thing was a sketch, depicting a long, cylindrical object.

The second sketch is of one face of a cylinder, with a shape resembling an abalone sucker.

"...Isn't this just an airplane?"

Li Zheng silently finished reading the drawings, feeling an urge to throw them away and pretend he had never found them.

"Sigh...that's true. It's not easy for players to find love in this crappy place."

Even if you're in a relationship, you still need to prevent the regional channel from splitting up one day, leaving you two worlds apart.

Just like that guy who was exercising earlier...

Pressing the learning button, the blueprint transforms into a beam of light and enters Li Zheng's brain.

At the same time, a new "Tech Cup" option has been added to the system creation page.

I clicked to take a look at the details.

"Even the size can be adjusted?"

To be honest, it's impossible for Li Zheng not to be curious about this thing, so...

He created a standard model of the technology cup.

[Tech Cup (Standard Size), Bronze Level, Everyday Item]

Description: Free your hands and enjoy a better life.

Lack of energy.

Old Pu: I'm all better, how about you?

"Does it need a power core to work?" Li Zheng curled his lip. "Isn't it better to use a power core to make gene serums? Or to purify sewage... oh, not necessarily better, but I can exchange purified water for pure water!"

Who would waste energy on something so trivial?

Got it!
It's definitely a useless prop; I was really ripped off by entering this room.

Especially since I wasted some materials because of my curiosity, it was even more of a loss!

"No, we have to at least earn back the cost of the materials."

Li Zheng casually posted the attributes of the Tech Cup to the regional channel.

Li Zheng: "[Tech Cup] Anyone want this junk? Selling cheap! [Triple Materials]" (Just didn't want to pad the word count with materials again, so I'll use this method instead of the price details from now on.)
After a barrage of mentions of Fengshan in the regional chat, there were hardly any people chatting anymore; most were just showing off which Black Iron-level blood materials they had acquired.

As a result, once Li Zheng sent out this message, the regional channel gradually became chaotic.

Li Zheng never expected that such mundane daily necessities would actually be in high demand.

Chen Guanghan: "Holy crap, the boss even has this thing? I want it! Sell it to me!"

Zhou Kai: "@Li Zheng, sell to me, I'll raise the price!"

Liu Jin: "No matter how much Zhou Kai adds, I'll still have one more iron ingot than him!"

Lu Li: "A bunch of idiots upstairs, don't they know to ask what type of blueprint it is? @Li Zheng, my dear father, is this a learning blueprint?"

Li Zheng told the truth: "It's a learning-oriented drawing, and the size can be customized. @Lu Li, my good son, do you want one too?"

Lu Li: "One? Who do you think you are? Give me one of every size!"

Zhou Kai: "Me too!"

Liukin: "+1"

Chen Guanghan: "+10086"

Yan Guang: "+10010"

Li Zheng: "@Yan Guang, what are you doing here?"

Yan Guang: "I'll buy one for Fengshan."

"..."

Li Zheng was shocked.

This technique is impossible to learn.

Lu Li: "@Yan Guang, wouldn't you say you're cheating on yourself?"

Yan Guang: "It shouldn't count, right?"

Fengshan: "I don't want to! Die somewhere else!"

Private message +1
Li Zheng opened it and saw that it was sent by Feng Shan.

"Brother, can I have one set? I don't have the materials, can I pay on credit?"

Li Zheng sneered, "Good lad, I never expected someone with such thick eyebrows and big eyes to be this kind of person."

He immediately replied, "Why would I need to pay on credit? Consider it a fee for your hard work in making the pocket watch for me; I'll give you a set!"

Fengshan was deeply moved: "Thank you so much, brother! From now on, you're my brother. If you need anything, just say the word. If you tell me to go east, I'll never go west! If you tell me to call a duck, I'll never call a chicken!"

At this moment, a new private message +1
Li Zheng cut it out and took a look, then laughed.

Xiao Siyuan: "Um... I'll have one too, just the standard size."

Li Zheng: "..."

The popularity of the Tech Cup was beyond Li Zheng's expectations. Even an upright person like Xiao Siyuan couldn't resist the temptation, so you can imagine how many copies were eventually sold.

"In that case, the price will have to change, otherwise what would I do with so many bronze and iron materials?"

Li Zheng stroked his chin, edited the information again, changed the price to bronze-level blood material, and posted it to the regional channel.

The next moment, even more people responded.

Some people were initially worried that bionic tissue materials were relatively rare and they couldn't afford the price.

Now that we've switched to bronze-level blood materials, isn't that simple?
Currently, apart from Li Zheng, no other player in the entire channel can push their four-dimensional attributes to the Black Iron+++ limit.

It's still a long way from using the bronze potion; there's plenty of time to collect it slowly.

But the Tech Cup is different; the sooner you get it, the sooner you can enjoy it!

Next, Li Zheng made a series of moves, occasionally changing prices and trading some materials necessary for crafting the Tech Cup. Unbeknownst to him, Li Zheng had collected all the materials for the Bronze 4+ potion.

Among them, the players who were split off contributed the most.

After all, they were all entities that survived until the channel was split up, so their strength was not much different.

"There are so few materials for Bronze 5+ Limit; I've only managed to collect three bottles."

It's not that the quantity is small, but rather that the types of items offered for trading are few.

The four types of bronze 5+ potions require different materials, with more than twenty-six varieties. By pooling the resources of the entire regional channel, Li Zhengcai managed to collect the materials for three potions.

"They only got the pocket watch today. In another two days, they should have more and more bronze-level materials. By then, they should be able to collect enough bronze 5+ materials to start their push towards silver level."

After finishing his work, it was just the time when the Flame Flowers were ripe. Li Zheng released his capsule residence, went in, picked two flowers, and specifically requested to trade them to Feng Shan.

This was agreed upon when the lightsaber was traded, and even though Fengshan might not need it in the future, Li Zheng still fulfilled the agreement.

I left one flower to wither, took out the seeds from it, and planned to plant another one later that evening.

"Hmm, we've also produced quite a bit of fertilizer. Let's apply some to the Flame Branches to accelerate the second round of production."

Unlike crops like honey fruit, flame branches wither and die quickly after being taken out of the petri dish; the one Li Zheng pulled out earlier was already ruined.

"These ginseng flower and honey fruit plants won't last more than a few days. We need to find a way to plant them all in the next couple of days, otherwise they'll wither and die like the flame branches, which would be a huge loss."

Li Zheng examined the two plants and found that the leaves had already shown signs of drying and curling, indicating that the crops were lacking nutrients.

"Perhaps... we can plant these plants in the petri dishes we build later, and save the Flame Branch seeds for later? Anyway, the seeds won't expire, so we can plant them whenever we want."

At least keep up with the "vegetables" and fruits, otherwise who can stand eating meat every day?
Having made up his mind, Li Zheng first applied some fertilizer to the flame branch, which increased its growth rate to 150% and maintained its duration for one hour.

"The effect is much weaker than that of culture medium, but I have a lot of fertilizer, so I just need to add a little bit every hour."

Li Zheng summoned the intelligent humanoid No. 6 and instructed it to periodically transport fertilizer to the culture dish. Afterward, he left his residence and bought a "pipeline blueprint" in the trading hall.

After learning how to use it, I returned to my residence and took out the bathroom to use.

While waiting for the toilet to be built, Li Zheng received two more private messages.

Ye Kai: "Ahem, well... I also want a tech cup, the standard model is fine, just don't let my sister know."

The other one is Chu Xiao: "Mr. Li Zheng, could you please sell me a tech cup? The model should be... small."

At this point, all the top-ranked male players on the leaderboard have succumbed to the onslaught of the Tech Cup.

Except for Lin Feng.

"Lin Feng has not spoken since the split."

Li Zheng looked at the name at the top of the leaderboard: "Single-player player?"
