Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 163 Cheerleader: Li Zheng!
Takamagahara, the official organization of the Muddy Country, should in principle be considered a "great, glorious, and correct" entity.

But how could Hitsujiro Gosaka, a member of Takamagahara, commit such an evil act?
Li Zheng thought bitterly, "Are the people of this country rotten to the core?"

At this moment, Li Zheng suddenly changed his mind.

If he were to face the power of an entire nation, this would be different from what he had initially imagined.

The difference in danger between dealing with scattered, unruly soldiers and dealing with a well-organized and disciplined government is beyond description.

perhaps……

Shouldn't you have dragged others down with you?
Some things are too dangerous, so it's best if Lao Xiao and I face them together.

Others have no obligation to join his small group, nor does he have the right to demand that others join.

"At most, I can agree to a long-term lease of the Hunter's Compass with Ye Kai, plus the additional ten explorations from the Mysterious Declaration, which means I can open the door twenty-nine times a day."

Concentrating all available resources on oneself and narrowing down the target is undoubtedly the best strategy to counter an entire organization.

Thinking of this, Li Zheng felt a sudden sense of relief.

He suddenly had a thought: Old Xiao had never asked him whether anyone else would join the organization.

Did he see through this from the very beginning and prepare the two of them to face countless acts of malice?
Li Zheng never imagined that... Gangsaka Hittatsu was just a mole planted in Takamagahara by someone else, and everything he did was to secretly cause trouble for Takamagahara.

Even if you assassinate one player from channel 879 every day, it will inevitably attract the attention of some people with ulterior motives if it goes on for a while.

At that time, all eyes will be on the three outsiders.

Of course, this was actually just a temporary plan that Hitomi Gosaka came up with after asking Toshio Tobe whether to act separately or as a group.

If Toshio Watanabe had suggested a collective action at the time, none of these subsequent events would have occurred.

Ultimately, Watanabe Toshio took himself too seriously, believing that the two men would not dare to disobey his orders.

To Gosaka Ritsu's surprise, Li Zheng stumbled upon its plan to assassinate the first player as soon as it began.

Having witnessed Li Zheng's strength, and knowing he was no match for him, he could only try to shift all the hatred onto Takamagahara before he died.

This... actually aligns with Hitsuji Gosaka's mission objective: to draw hatred towards Takamagahara.

"Oh, that's all I wanted to tell you. Let's start with the dungeon."

Li Zheng snapped out of his daze and saw that everyone was still looking at him, waiting for him to continue.

He smiled easily, stepped into the portal, and was sent to a separate battlefield by the system.

Chu Xiao and the others exchanged glances, all feeling that Li Zheng had gone to unnecessary lengths.

However, they didn't say much. They passed through the portal one by one and were assigned to their respective battlefields by the system.

The individual battlefield space in the competition instance is not very large, with an area of ​​about three thousand square meters, and it is blocked by futuristic walls on all sides.

On each wall are five wide doors separated by electromagnetic fences. Countless high-voltage arcs intercept the electric currents at the doorways, dividing the inside and outside of the doors into two worlds.

Li Zheng didn't dare to get close; he just watched from afar, yet he sensed a strong threat emanating from the seemingly calm electric light.

He even felt that if he dared to touch it, he would be instantly turned into charred remains by the electric shock.

Looking up, Li Zheng discovered that there were also five doors open about thirty meters above him.

"Five directions, exactly corresponding to five rounds of attacks?" Li Zheng had a bad feeling.

The vertical doors on the ground might be manageable, but the biggest threat is the attack from above, which will definitely unleash monsters with flying abilities.

"Sakura, find a place to hide in a bit, okay?" Li Zheng instructed the little guy flying behind him, then checked his own condition.

"Luckily, I added three buffs while eating earlier, which will last for more than an hour. It's a pity I didn't expect to enter the dungeon. All three are Iron-level food buffs."

Having confirmed everything, Li Zheng waited with bated breath.

Soon after, the system notification finally popped up.

[All players are in position, the competition begins!]

As soon as this notification appeared, the electric arcs on the five doors to Li Zheng's left disappeared.

A rustling sound came from the dark space behind the door, as if many small creatures were rushing out.

Li Zheng took out the Salted Fish Gun and held it up: "The first three rounds are not too stressful, and firearms can handle them, saving physical energy and genetic energy."

Soon, a two-meter-tall black iron-grade hound passed through the wide gate, its face ferocious, its belly shrunken, and its mouth drooling, looking extremely hungry and frenzied.

"Wang!"

In an instant, the hunting dogs locked onto Li Zheng's location, bared their teeth, and pounced.

puff!
The moment Li Zheng pulled the trigger, a hunting dog rushed out from each of the other four doorways.

This was released to him after the other players had already finished off the target.

"Ow!"

Just as Li Zheng turned his gun, intending to take out all four hunting dogs at once, he saw a strong figure sweep over his head and pounce on one of the dogs.

"Sakura?"

Li Zheng instinctively wanted to call it back. In his mind, Xiao Ying was still that weak little thing who needed his protection.

However, Sakura, now grown up, is a completely different person, and her combat strength is definitely not much weaker than that of an ordinary Gold-level creature.

A fully grown Silver-level leader, let alone dealing with four Iron-level hounds, would not necessarily be a match for even five other Silver-level creatures.

In fact, Xiaoying had been looking for an opportunity to show off her skills all day, but Li Zheng was unlucky. Most of the creatures he encountered were weak, and before the little girl could even pounce on them, he shot those bronze and silver creatures in the head.

It can make it depressed.

Finally finding an opportunity, Xiaoying charged into the four hunting dogs like a tiger among sheep, whipping her tail and smashing one dog's head.

With a swipe of its claws, the hound ripped open its belly; with a bite of its teeth, the bone was chewed to dust.

Or it could open its mouth and throw a stone, killing a hunting dog with a single blow.

In an instant, blood and flesh flew everywhere, a truly gruesome scene.

"..." Li Zheng, holding a salted fish, realized there was nothing for him to do, so he simply sat down cross-legged and started picking at his nails.

For the next fifteen minutes, the first round of attacks became a one-woman show by Xiaoying, and Li Zheng later got so bored that he lay down and started to doze off.

After the first round of attacks ended, the system gave him two minutes to rest, and Sakura woke him up.

"Ow!"

Li Zheng opened his eyes and saw Xiao Ying gesturing, and he was immediately at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

The little guy is protesting. He used to cheer Li Zheng on whenever he fought.

When it was his turn, he was lying on the ground dozing off. It was really awful.

"Okay, okay, I'll cheer you on, alright?" Li Zheng patted Xiao Ying, still speaking in a tone that sounded like he was coaxing a child.

"Ow."

Sakura glanced at him sideways and suggested that Li Zheng should wave a light stick when cheering him on.

Li Zheng confidently assured him, "No problem!"

Then he took out two light sticks, waved them vigorously twice, and then they collided together with a "pia" sound.

"Go Sakura!"

Waaah~ pia!

"Go Sakura!"

……

The little guy was very satisfied, just as the arc fence on the other side disappeared, and the second round of attack began.

then……

The situation completely went off track.

Sakura charged through the hordes of creatures that kept being released, while Li Zheng followed behind like a shaman, waving two cheering sticks and shouting enthusiastically.

"Anyway, no one's watching here, so there's no awkwardness whatsoever!"

Li Zheng comforted himself in this way.

Strictly speaking, this was Sakura's first formal encounter with an enemy, whether it was offense, defense, or evasive maneuvering to avoid being ganged up on.

The movements went from being awkward at first to becoming more skillful.

Especially its thick tail, the little guy has finally become able to control it as easily as an extension of its own arm.

The second round ended quickly. Li Zheng took out a water bottle, gave Xiao Ying some water, massaged her muscles, and gave her some pointers.

"Next time you encounter a monster that's bigger than you, just slide tackle it, you know how to slide tackle?"

If your slide tackle fails, give it a left hook, followed by a knee strike, and then go all out on its face!

If you really can't beat them, kick them in the groin!
We'll stop at nothing to win, understand?

"Ow!"

Sakura nodded vigorously, indicating that she had learned something.

Just then, it was time for a break. Li Zheng took out two iron ingots and tapped them twice the instant the electric arc disappeared.

"Okay, third round, after we finish, we'll switch and take over."

Li Zheng patted Xiaoying on the back, pointed at the three-tailed white wolf that rushed out of the gate, and ordered, "Go!"

"Ow!"

Sakura flapped her wings and flew quickly toward the three-tailed white wolf, habitually flicking her tail at it.

The white wolf was very agile, dodging sideways.

Sakura catches the sliding tackle, her sharp fingernails pointing upwards, determined to rip it open.

The white wolf lowered its head and lunged at her. Seeing that her slide tackle was about to fail, Sakura flapped her wings and took flight, landing a left hook on the white wolf.

The punch was powerful and heavy, and the white wolf involuntarily tilted its head to the side.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Sakura launched a combo attack, shattering the White Wolf's nose with a knee strike.

"Ouch~"

The white wolf became ferocious and opened its mouth to grab the leg that Xiaoying had kneed, but it flew up to dodge.

Sakura circled around from above to behind the white wolf, grabbed its three tails, aimed, and then kicked it upwards with a powerful kick.

"Snapped!"

That sound was incredibly crisp.

That one sound crushed countless men.

No matter how brave you are, one move of the Egg-Shattering Kick will make you lose your former glory.

From now on, we'll have to live with our tails between our legs.

"Holy crap, the little guy actually learned this trick..." Li Zheng couldn't help but squeeze his legs together.

At that moment, he regretted teaching too much earlier.

However, even more regrettable things were yet to come.

Sakura seemed to like this ruthless move. The three-tailed white wolf that was released later skipped all the previous steps and directly activated its "fast flight" ability, arriving behind the opponent in the blink of an eye.

It raises its tail, aims, and kicks.

Pop, pop, pop!
The sound of shattering continued...
