Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 130 The Electric Light Dancing at Your Fingertips (Third Update Today)

The first room on the sixth day.

It was a very ordinary metal room, which used to have a refrigerator, but now it had been reduced to rubble.

"Ever since Lu Li revealed the fact that smashing things could dismantle them, the already struggling Matrix has been dealt a further blow..."

Li Zheng showed no awareness of being the instigator; he sighed twice in a pretentious manner and then looked away.

"Fortunately, I have found a new way to use these devices in the long term, and the number of rooms in the matrix is ​​indeed huge, so I don't have to worry about not being able to study the blueprints after all the devices are smashed."

Moreover, with so many blueprints for items in the Matrix, players might obtain blueprints for equipment like data stations someday.

Furthermore, as the game progresses, blueprints for modifying capsule dwellings may appear in the future, perhaps including blueprints for modifications such as "research labs," "medical labs," and "food warehouses."
"Hmm, Old Pu's hint was that the thing was in a corner I know... Found it." Li Zheng's gaze swept over the useless machines on the wall, finally settling on the left side of his vision.

The forgotten props are hidden here. Be careful not to break them.

"Hmm, it's not radar again, is it?" Li Zheng took out the cutting blade, walked to the machine, and thought to himself, "It shouldn't be. If it's something I've seen before, Old Pu should have been able to analyze the specific information before we entered this place."

Let's dig it out first.

The cutting blade was being manipulated on the machine, and Old Pu quickly gave a hint:

Right here!

嗗～
Li Zheng decisively plunged the cutting blade in; it felt even easier than cutting tofu with a knife, with almost no resistance.

"Brilliant!"

Li Zheng was overjoyed: "As expected of a platinum-grade weapon, its sharpness is unmatched!"

Sizzle, sizzle~
After a few slightly piercing metallic tearing sounds, a square hole was cut into the machine.

Li Zheng reached inside and touched a hard object, round and flat, much smaller than a radar.

"coin?"

After grabbing it and taking a look, Li Zheng was stunned.

It turned out to be a metal object the size of a one-yuan coin, with complex and exaggerated lightning patterns engraved on both sides.

Electromagnetic Coin, Gold Grade, Special Item

Description: This coin allows a user with developed lightning-based abilities to perfectly convert their power into "Electromagnetic Control." (Maximum conversion level: Gold. If the user's current ability is below Gold, the conversion will directly elevate them to Gold level.)
Old Pu: Electric Eel, play some high-energy electronic music!

"Holy crap, this item is pretty powerful in a way!"

While it's described as a conversion ability, it can actually be used to enhance one's own abilities when one's rank is too low, thereby strengthening combat power.

The name "Electromagnetic Control" was highlighted. Li Zheng clicked on it and saw that it was the attribute description of this ability.

Electromagnetic control

Rank: Gold

Type: Feature Control

Lv?

exp? /?

Description: Releases electromagnetic manipulation of metal objects.

The effect of the ability increases as the level increases.

Old Pu: Dude, have you ever heard of Magneto?
Oh, so you say you don't like old men?
Do you like Misaka Mikoto?
The electric light dancing at your fingertips, ( ) continues the sentence.

"Pah, do you think I'm like you, so old and still acting like a chuunibyou?" Li Zheng spat disdainfully, then pondered the strength of this ability. "But... I remember when Ye Yuan shot Lin Feng, the lightning surging from his body seemed to have a certain electromagnetic effect, right?"

This information was actually a tip given by Old Putin himself.

【It's different. Lightning abilities are quite special. Almost all lightning abilities that can be projected can exhibit some electromagnetic properties.】

However, its unique electromagnetic property control is far stronger than those abilities that cross boundaries.

As for its specific strength, you'll know once you use it.

"Hey, are you still keeping me in suspense?"

Li Zheng widened his eyes, then his face showed a knowing look: "That's true, just like an actor, who may have a wide range of interests and can sing a few lines."

But her professional singing skills are definitely not as good as those of a professional singer.

To be precise, a professional actor's singing skills certainly cannot compare to those of a national-level singer. A singer is a singer, and a professional singer is a professional singer; although they are the same profession, their abilities are worlds apart.

For example: Gege and Han Pangpang.

Although comparing these two side-by-side is an insult to Han Pangpang, Old Pu, lacking in knowledge, finds this comparison the most direct.

"Han Pang..."

Li Zheng was initially confused about who this was referring to, but then he suddenly realized: "Oh, you mean that person who is beautiful, sings sweetly, and is kind-hearted, and who posts updates saying 'awesome' and 'TM' all the time, that person?"
That definitely shows the difference in strength; even a tiny fingernail of Han Pangpang could easily defeat Gege.

Now you know how powerful this ability is, right?

"Understood!"

Li Zheng nodded, put away the electromagnetic coins, and kept them for later use after developing lightning-based abilities, or for trading with anyone who needed them.

After scanning the room, Li Zheng realized there was nothing else of value there, so he looked at the other metal doors.

The door is already open. Don't bother looking; there's nothing behind it.

Behind this door are some materials, mostly iron ingots, but they are of very low value, so we'll skip them.

There are some materials behind this door; you can choose this spot if you're lacking power cores.

There's a Silver-tier neutral creature behind this door, but it's not a Kentaur. I suggest you take another look.

Behind this door is a "treasure chest." Be careful of its guardian, whose strength is at the peak of the Gold level. The danger level is... huh? Pretty low.

Wait, let me check that little bitch's inventory...

Yes, found it.

This is an abyss walker; its weaknesses are unknown.

"Little bitch" is the nickname that Lao Pu gave to the encyclopedia function. Lao Pu had been full of resentment about it when Li Zheng used the encyclopedia to identify creatures.

As it turned out, it now went to rummage through the "little bitch's" inventory on its own initiative.

"Walking through the abyss?"

Li Zheng opened the illustrated guide, found the corresponding biological information, and clicked on it.

With the images and text displayed before him, Li Zheng mainly observed the creature's appearance.

The creature was upright, with a hunched back and a tattered burlap sack covering its body, with only two holes for its eyes, from which phosphorescence shimmered.

Other information is scarce; the weakness section is consistent with what Old Pu said, listed as "unknown".

"Its weaknesses are unknown, and its strength is at the peak of the Gold level, perhaps not much weaker than some Platinum level creatures, but its threat level is low?"

There are only two possibilities that could have led to this result.

First, Li Zheng has the item or ability to counter the Abyss Walker, and it is a deadly counter.

Secondly, the opponent is critically injured and dying for unknown reasons, possessing great strength but unable to exert it.

Li Zheng didn't hesitate for long. With the cutting blade in one hand and the ID card in the other, he opened the door directly.

"Won't you know if you go in and take a look?"

As soon as the door opened, Li Zheng walked in without looking back.

The moment she entered, Xiaoying seemed to sense something, and suddenly grabbed Li Zheng's ear, her whole body trembling.

"嘤嘤......"

The little one is scared and terrified.

……

Thank you to "栖梧拾荒梦" for the 5000 points!

Thank you "Yueming" for the 100 coins reward for Xiaoying!

You guys are too ruthless! It's only been half a day! We're almost at the bonus chapter threshold for monthly votes!

I hate double!
Don't give me any tips tonight, those things... seem to be four times the monthly votes, I can't handle that.
