Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 134 Fengshan: "Yes, is there a problem?" (Second update today)
In the end, Fengshan completed the transaction and obtained the Mountain Crevice Grass.

Where else can you find such a good thing as getting a crop with gene-developing capabilities just by talking?

Although it's only at the silver level, the success rate is not high.

However, I've triggered the 2% success rate of silver-level items before, so I'm not afraid at all.

He rubbed and rubbed it, then stuffed the mountain grass directly into his mouth, chewed it up, and swallowed it.

The next second, light spots gathered on the skin's surface, transforming into stone-like carapaces that covered the entire body.

……

Li Zheng gave away the mountain crevices grass and then left with Xiao Ying.

What?
Why didn't you rush to get the Lucky Star Blessing buff and drink the Abyss Serum first?

Do not be silly.

Haven't you heard the saying, "Luck can't save you from bad luck, and spending money can't change your fate"?

Yesterday, Li Zheng refused to believe in superstitions and asked Fengshan to perform a blessing ceremony, but what was the result?
If it weren't for the chance encounter with Ye Yuan and the help from that brother and sister, Li Chun would be dead by now.

This shows that Fengshan's European constitution is so "closed off" that not a single bit of European energy can be leaked out!
Even the stingiest person is no different.

Behind this door are some materials, mostly tungsten steel and copper ingots. If you need these, you can choose this area.

Behind this door are two bronze-level neutral creatures, which are what you need right now, so I suggest choosing this location.

[The area behind this door is hot; it might be dangerous for your pet to go in.]

Behind this door is a common crop of bronze-level quality, along with some equipment.

Behind this door is a group of Iron-level creatures. Low difficulty, low reward, skip it.

"No doubt about it, let's get straight to the bronze bio-room."

Li Zheng decisively turned around, swiped his card, and left.

Perhaps it was really the twelve blessings from Fengshan that took effect, because Li Zheng actually connected to five bronze biological chambers and directly gathered all the blood materials needed for five bronze 5+ potions.

I'm only missing the materials for the last eighteen potions to get all four stats to the maximum of 5+.

Li Zheng glanced at the list of materials. There weren't many types, only six, and he only needed to make three tubes of each.

"Hopefully it will work out tonight."

Looking at the room marked as "materials," I was about to swipe my card when a private message notification popped up.

2 exploration opportunities remaining today
The private message was from Fengshan, and it contained a lot of information, all about the details of his gene development.

Li Zheng gave a general summary.

Similar to what Fengshan mentioned before, it means that once the previous gene ability is upgraded to the maximum level, even if negative effects are triggered when developing other abilities, the previous ability will not be erased.

Correspondingly, if the previous ability is not at its maximum level, even if it is just a little short of the maximum level, once a negative effect is triggered by using development tools of different attributes, the previous ability will still be completely wiped out.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that we've gone back to square one.

This reminded Li Zheng of Lin Feng, who had been beaten to death by a mob the previous night.

With three gene lines at your disposal!

Before all three gene abilities were successfully developed, Li Zheng estimated that quite a few abilities would have been washed away by negative status effects.

It is obvious that Lin Feng's personality is extremely "greedy". He is not content with only improving one genetic ability, and his opportunistic nature will definitely lead him to gamble on the chance of having multiple abilities.

Of course, his face was definitely not fair; his legs, which had been broken and reattached, were the best proof of that.

Li Zheng astutely discerned the hidden meaning in the intelligence sent by Feng Shan and replied in a private message, "Failed?"

Fengshan calmly replied, "Well, it wasn't exactly a failure. The main problem was that the 2% and 30% probabilities were triggered simultaneously again. I only had the ability for a second before it was wiped out."

"again?"

Li Zheng found the word dazzling, almost able to feel the golden light shimmering.

That's... the radiance of a lucky person.

"That's right, I used two kinds of items to develop gene abilities on my first day in the Matrix." Feng Shan briefly explained the Ice Heart Fruit and the Flame Flower. He then recounted how he used the Ice Heart Fruit to quickly clear the ten rooms on the first day in just two hours.

"..."

After reading all the information, Li Zheng fell into a long silence: "So, so far, you've used three different types of development tools, all of them silver-level... and all of them even triggered a 2% success rate?"

Fengshan: "Yes, is there a problem?"

Li Zheng pondered for a few seconds, then asked, "Compared to the absurdly low success rate, you only triggered the negative effect, which had a 30% chance of being triggered, twice?"

Fengshan: "Yes, is there a problem?"

Li Zheng pondered for a few more seconds and then asked, "Moreover, neither of the two negative effects caused any harm to oneself; they merely erased the newly developed genetic abilities?"

Fengshan: "Yes, is there a problem?"

[You have been blacklisted by the other party. Duration: 5 minutes.]

Fengshan: "???"

You have a new designated trade.

Fengshan opened the trading hall and found that Li Zheng had sent him a bottle of props that looked like viscous blood.

I glanced at the name: Abyss Serotonin.

Rank: Gold.

Seller's message: Aren't you awesome? Aren't you incredibly lucky? Drink this stuff and let's see if you can successfully develop it!
"...?"

Fengshan couldn't understand what was so annoying about this. He had such bad luck, yet he was considered lucky?

In comparison, he would prefer that the negative effects triggered twice were the kind that would harm him, so that at least he could be healed with medical items.

The two times he triggered it were like giving you hope, only to extinguish it the next second, which was actually more painful.

……

Twenty minutes later, Li Zheng received a private message from Feng Shan:
"Damn, where did you get this stuff? It tastes awful, like I choked on a huge mouthful of phlegm!"

"..."

Li Zheng asked back, "You...you didn't succeed again, did you?"

Fengshan replied after a while: "No this time."

"call."

For some reason, Li Zheng actually breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if a great weight had been lifted off his shoulders.

"That's all for now, I still have to explore, bye."

After that, he ignored Fengshan, swiped his card, and left.

On the sixth day, in the ninth room, Li Zheng picked up all the scattered materials and put them into his residence.

On the other side, Fengshan looked at the new ability "Abyss Bloodline" displayed on his ability panel and fell into deep thought.

Is it really because I'm incredibly lucky that I've always used "buy one get one free" bottle caps to exchange for drinks since I was a child?

Should we tell him the truth?

Forget it, let's not tell Li Zheng, lest he be too upset and do something rash.

……

Li Zheng finished tidying up the materials in the room and hadn't even had time to investigate the other metal doors when he received two more private messages.

[You're really lucky. You just sent out two offspring today, and they've already each found a special room.]

"Oh...is this really that outrageous?"

Li Zheng opened the private chat panel and, sure enough, saw messages from Xiao Siyuan and Li Chun.

The content is the same, including screenshots of special room prompts.
