Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 107, "Misplaced Time and Space," is so beautiful!
Make two tech cups, negotiate the price with Ye Kai and Chu Xiao, and send them to them respectively.

As expected of top-ranked players, the two were able to casually produce two bronze 5+ potion materials that Li Zheng needed.

The transaction is complete. The two Tech Cups have disappeared, replaced by eight bottles of four different types of blood materials.

In this single transaction, Li Zheng managed to collect eight more tubes of Bronze 5+ Limit Potions.

"It's one thing for Ye Kai to ask for a standard size." Li Zheng stroked his chin, staring at Chu Xiao's name meaningfully: "This Chu Xiao...?"

What is the concept?

However, this is their privacy, and Li Zheng will not publicize it.

"Sigh, that's why being a man is all about..."

"Oh? The bathroom is already built. Connect the pipes and then go in to take a look."

Looking up, Li Zheng saw that the bathroom was completed. He pulled out the piping diagram, connected the bathroom's sewage outlet to the compost bin, then connected the outlet at the other end of the compost bin to the water purifier, and finally connected it to the bathroom's water inlet, forming a complete cycle.

“I didn’t even notice the pipes. There’s a drain outlet behind the compost bin…” Li Zheng scratched his head, opened the bathroom door, and went inside.

A 4x4x3 space is definitely not small for a bathroom.

To the left of the entrance is the washbasin, and on the wall is a metal mirror made using some unknown process, with a reflectivity no less than that of a glass mirror.

Inside the sink is a toilet, without a urinal. The material is still metal, but the lid and seat have a matte finish.

Opposite to both of them is a bathtub, and next to the bathtub, directly opposite the bathroom door, is a shower.

As for the various pipes, they are all buried in the metal walls, taking up absolutely no internal space.

The ground is 30 centimeters higher than the outside, and there are fence-like partitions everywhere, mainly to allow water that falls to the ground to flow down into the drainage system.

"Damn! This thing needs a hundred liters of water to get started?"

Li Zheng tried it out but found it wasn't working for the time being, so he gave up.

Stepping out of the capsule dwelling and putting it away, Li Zheng pondered, "It seems there's no hot water?"

“Even if I had one, it wouldn’t be of any use. I’m immune to heat and cold, so I’ve completely blocked out the temperature…” Li Zheng looked at the door leading to the next room with a melancholy expression: “Life without hot showers always feels like something’s missing.”

After pondering for a while, Li Zheng felt he should think of a way. Perhaps if he met Luo Aimang next time, he could ask if he had converted his passive ability into a manually activated one.

"Even if it consumes more genetic energy, it's worth it!"

With such an overpowered item as the Eye of Preys, if I still can't improve my quality of life, I'd be a disgrace to the Daily Treasure Chest System!
"But then again."

Li Zheng pondered: "These genetic abilities seem powerful, but why do they all seem to have some side effects?"

It possesses the ability to be imbued with ice and fire, a platinum-level genetic ability. Its drawback is that it is not immune to damage from other abilities, which is why it has the passive ability to be impervious to heat and cold.

This can be seen from the fact that he set his own clothes on fire when he activated his ability last time.

However, this passivity also made him less sensitive to temperature.

No, it's not that I'm insensitive, but rather that I can't feel even the slightest bit of temperature.

This state of mind definitely has an impact on life.

For example, I can't take a hot bath.

Fengshan's silver-level fire-type gene ability - Burst.

It can also be called the "Seven Injury Fist" in genetic abilities, which injures the enemy by a thousand but also damages oneself by nine hundred and ninety-nine.

The side effect is that if your physical strength can't keep up, you don't dare to push it to its full potential.

Otherwise, if you throw a punch and both you and your enemy die, wouldn't that be a huge loss?

"Zhan Zhouzhou's electric sword definitely has negative effects, but she used her abilities several times in a special room, and the Eye of Preys was suppressed by the matrix terminal, so it couldn't be seen."

Furthermore, Zhan Zhouzhou usually prefers to use physical weapons; she would never use her electric sword unless absolutely necessary.

Li Zheng speculated that there must be a way to resolve these negative effects, at least a way to avoid them within the game.

It's just that I haven't found the right path yet.

Just like Fengshan's "Seven Injury Fist," if he encounters a gene drug dealer like himself, he can give him some time to improve his physical strength and eventually eliminate the negative effect of "sudden death."

After all, it's only been five days since the game started, and there's still a lot of content to explore.

"Waaah?" Sakura noticed that he had suddenly stood there in a daze and nuzzled Li Zheng's cheek in confusion.

"Hmm, thinking about some things..."

Li Zheng came to his senses, smiled at Xiao Ying, and suddenly paused.

"Sakura also awakened the genetic ability Flying Rock Bullet, but this genetic ability doesn't seem to have any effect on it."

Is it free of side effects?

Or……

Is it because of the different types of genetic abilities?

After all, the Flying Rock Bomb is an Earth-type weapon, unlike Fire-type weapons which are dangerous and unstable.

Moreover, this genetic ability, in essence, means that the user will not directly come into contact with the condensed stone, so there is no risk of contact damage.

"Unfortunately, genetic abilities, especially defects in genetic abilities, are the most important privacy, and ordinary players would definitely not expose them."

Otherwise, you could ask more people; maybe you can find out the rules.

With a sigh, Li Zheng shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

When things reach the bridge, they will straighten themselves out. Once you find something that can solve the problem of not being able to feel the temperature, you will naturally be able to get rid of the trouble of not being able to feel the temperature.

"It's getting late, let's continue exploring."

Muttering to himself, Li Zheng skillfully took out an iron ingot and raised his hand to smash the computer.

"Wait!"

The iron ingot, which had been raised high, was lowered again. Li Zheng touched the computer, which was not very big, and a flash of inspiration struck him.

“Directly breaking down and collecting is ineffective, so what if I release the capsule dwelling and move the computer inside?”

As soon as the idea came to him, Li Zheng became excited.

"The materials disassembled from the scientific data platform are not of high grade. Although it is almost integrated with the ground, I definitely wouldn't have been able to dismantle this pillar when I first entered the matrix."

"But with my current Bronze++ level physical abilities and various weapons, breaking this pillar shouldn't be a problem..."

Li Zheng became more and more excited as he thought about it; it seemed quite feasible!

"Give it a try!"

You won't regret giving it a try!

Li Zheng turned around and released the capsule dwelling again, then squatted in front of the computer and tried to break the pillar.

"No, I don't have enough strength. I still need to rely on weapons."

I dare not bend the computer on top of it, or I might break it. If that happens, I'll have to wait until the next time I encounter a computer to conduct the experiment again.

Upon entering the capsule residence and emerging, Li Zheng found himself holding a salted fish.

A dried river fish – a silver carp.

"Just use a gold-grade weapon and give it a one-step, thorough...spotless attack!"

Li Zheng held the fish up to the bottom of the pillar, and with his finger on the ventral fin of a salted fish, an energy blast the size of a baby's fist was silently launched from the open mouth of the fish.

The energy blast arrived in an instant, making a soft thud upon contact with the pillar.

"Pfft~"

It was like the sound of someone farting.

The pillar was blasted in half, and the intact pillar, supporting the computer, slowly tilted before Li Zheng quickly caught it.

"This fish... ugh! This gun truly lives up to its reputation as an assassin's weapon; from the moment it's fired until it hits, there's almost no sound."

Li Zheng looked at the salted fish in his hand and liked it more and more.

If only this wrecked fish looked normal.
