Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 116 The Hunter's Compass

When the dazzling light before your eyes fades, it's as if the curtain on a stage has suddenly been pulled back, revealing the stage scenery behind it.

"The players here..."

With a hint of anticipation, Li Zheng looked at the capsule residence in the center of the room, where the figure of a girl came into view.

"hello!"

Just like the last time they met, Ye Yuan stood up and said those two words with a smile.

"It's not Li Chun."

For some reason, Li Zheng suddenly had a premonition.

If I can't find that innocent girl soon, she will say goodbye to this world forever after tonight.

Even the room refresh at midnight is not available.

"Hey, what's with that expression?"

Seeing Li Zheng's disappointed look, Ye Yuan became angry: "We even teamed up to run a dungeon together today, and it hasn't been that long since then, and you're acting like this when we meet again?"

As she spoke, she spun around, as if trying to prove something. Looking down at her feet, her rounded toes playfully curled up, then, as if struck by a sudden thought, her face fell: "Damn it! Even I'm disappointed in myself..."

"Everyone has their own destiny. I didn't find that girl even after ten extra opportunities. Perhaps this is fate."

However, even after two consecutive days of trying to reach Ye Yuan's location—a low-probability event—they still couldn't find Li Chun...

I just can't figure it out. Didn't Fengshan already bless me?

This lucky guy isn't quite up to par!

Li Zheng composed himself and, seeing Ye Yuan's expression, smiled helplessly: "What are you thinking about all day, you little girl? Your figure... ugh! Your age... isn't it!"

Anyway, don't misunderstand, and don't let your brother misunderstand either.

Li Zhengzhen was afraid that Ye Yuan would tell her brother and misunderstand that his expression just now was an expression of "regret" for her figure, so he quickly explained, "I just didn't find the person I was looking for."

"Find someone?"

Ye Yuan sensed the gossip and looked up at Li Zheng, her gaze intense: "Who are you looking for? Your girlfriend? Is she pretty? Her figure... Damn, let's skip that! How good is she? Is she amazing? Is it Zhan Zhouzhou? No? Is it Yan Guang? No, no, no, it shouldn't be Yan Guang. She's still hung up on Feng Shan. You're not her type at all!"
Who could that be?"

Rolling her eyes, the girl muttered to herself, actually trying to figure out what Li Zheng's "girlfriend" was really like.

Li Zheng was utterly speechless at Ye Yuan's thought process: "It's not Yan Guang, nor Zhan Zhouzhou, I don't even have a girlfriend... Damn it, why does a deep sadness well up inside me when I say that?"

Having been single since birth for over twenty years, it seems... that feeling sad is actually to be expected?
"No girlfriend?" Ye Yuan stopped imagining things, looked Li Zheng up and down a few times, and suddenly had a look of realization: "Oh, I get it!"

Li Zheng instinctively felt that the other person had imagined an even worse scenario, and immediately felt a chill: "You don't know anything! You're not old, have an average build, but you have a lot of ideas."

"So what if I'm flat-chested? I'm proud of it! It saves me fabric when I wear clothes!"

Ye Yuan was hit where it hurt and immediately snapped: "This isn't right, that isn't right, you're so boring!"

Tell me, what's really going on with you?
"For the sake of being teammates, I might be able to lend you a hand."

"you help me?"

Li Zheng rolled his eyes: "I'd be grateful if you didn't mess things up and make up wild ideas... Wait!"
"I remember now, does your brother have some kind of item that can ignore exploration attempts and directly track a specific player?"

He remembered that Ye Yuan had asked Ye Kai for something in the regional channel before because of the pocket watch, but was refused.

"Hmm!" Ye Yuan squinted smugly: "If the situation is really urgent, I can talk to my brother and ask him to rent your things."

"It's urgent, it has to be urgent..."

Li Zheng, as if grasping at the last straw, recounted how he discovered Li Chun hadn't spoken in the regional channel for a long time, and how he had been unable to contact her several times.

"You mean the system keeps telling me the other person is resting?"

"Correct."

Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Ye Yuan's expression turned serious, and she muttered a few words under her breath: "So he's on this channel too. I need to tell my brother and the others about this."

Then, she ignored Li Zheng and contacted Ye Kai in private chat.

Li Zheng didn't know what they were talking about, nor did he understand who the "he" they were referring to was.

All he knew was that the Ye siblings seemed to have encountered similar cases before.

If that's the case, then there's a high probability that the other party would be willing to lend you the props.

Sure enough, not long after, two notifications popped up in front of Li Zheng's eyes. 【You have a new designated transaction.】×2
Upon opening the trading hall, Li Zheng discovered that, in addition to Ye Kai, even Chu Xiao had given him an item, specifically requesting that he rent it out.

Since the other party did not set a rental price, Li Zheng took it down directly and checked the attributes of the item sent by Ye Kai.

This is a prop that looks like a compass.

The Hunter Compass, Gold Grade

Description: Locks onto a target's location, allowing for a single, same-channel directional jump that ignores remaining exploration opportunities. (Can be used 9/9 times per day)
Old Pu: Do you have friends who don't pay their debts? Do you have criminals who have fled and haven't been caught? Do you have someone you want to kill but can't catch?

What are you waiting for?
The Hunter's Compass – Helping You Achieve Your Dreams!

[Lack of energy (energy quality cannot be lower than gold level)]

"Good heavens! Lin Fan really deserved what he got for messing with you guys. No wonder he was so desperate that he jumped out of the woods and ran away."

Li Zheng was dumbfounded. With such domineering attributes, anyone whose legs would tremble when they were being targeted would be trembling.
"You've received the items. One gold-grade dynamic core can be used five times, but you'll have to pay for the energy yourself." Ye Yuan quickly explained the usage, and finally said, "We'll talk about the rest later. Now hurry up and set off, or you'll only be able to collect corpses when you get there."

"Row."

Li Zheng nodded, took out a gold-grade active core, installed it, and moved the pointer. A display box popped up in front of him.

Input information: 0000879 Li Chun.

confirm!

The next moment, everything went black.

In an instant, Li Zheng's surroundings changed, and he heard a shout of cursing.

"You beast, if it weren't for your high potential, I would have killed you long ago!"

Following the sound, Li Zheng turned his gaze, but before he could see who was making the sound, he suddenly felt dizzy, as if he hadn't slept for ten or fifteen days straight, and all he wanted to do was lie down and sleep.

"wrong!"

Startled, Li Zheng snapped back to reality, took out a piece of pure lotus, and swallowed it.

Once the lotus took effect, my drowsy mind suddenly cleared, and all sleepiness vanished.

"What a powerful medicine!"

Li Zheng was shocked. This kind of hypnotic substance was definitely not low-level. Even a Bronze++ physique couldn't withstand it and almost fell asleep. No wonder Li Chun was in a "resting" state all day.

Fortunately, after taking the Pure Lotus, not only can all negative states be removed, but the residual medicinal effects will even form a buff, so that the effects will not be affected for a short period of time.

"I'm giving you one last chance: submit to me!"

The same rough voice rang out again. Li Zheng looked over and found that the room was a cave, and he was blocked by a protruding stone wall.

"Hey..."

Just as he was about to lean forward to check the situation, Sakura made a soft sound on his shoulder, and the little one grabbed his ear tightly.

"Oh, and we should also give it a piece."

Li Zheng gave Xiaoying another piece of Pure Lotus, placed it on the ground, then took out an air purifier and whispered to it, "After I go out in a little while, take this thing and find a place to hide, and purify the air here, understand?"

"..."

The little guy nodded silently, swallowed the last bit of pure lotus in his mouth, and hugged the air purifier.

"boom!"

A muffled thud, like a punching bag being hit hard.

Li Zheng approached the edge of the stone wall and looked out.

A figure wreathed in blood is beating a colorful spider.

Behind the spider, a capsule dwelling unfolds, which it fiercely guards.

……

Thank you to "禹与雨与余" for the 100 coins!

I already ruined that book about being an undercover agent for thirty years last time, so this time I've found another sacrifice.

It's also a prompt-based text; I've read a few chapters and found it quite good.
