Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 166 Regional Management Transfer Certificate
The black spear, imbued with a chilling aura, roared and trembled like an angry dragon emerging from the sea.

"Ice-based abilities will more or less slow down the enemy's speed, mainly by reducing the opponent's physical functions."

Li Zheng's target this time was only the small area lit up behind the Wuji Modifier, which was the opponent's nuclear reactor.

"Mechanical creations can also reduce the energy activity of their opponents when exposed to cold, but the effect is far less than that against flesh-and-blood creatures."

Just like how it's difficult to start a car when the temperature is below -30 degrees Celsius outdoors.

The difference is that the mechanical technology in the matrix is ​​definitely more advanced than that of automobiles.

However, Li Zheng's ability to attach ice-type items at temperatures far exceeding minus thirty or forty degrees Celsius is certainly not limited to.

"The extreme weakness of the Wuji Transformer to ice is very likely related to the reactor behind it!"
The low temperature weakens its reactor, affecting energy pumping and reducing its power.

I can win!

Li Zheng's gaze grew increasingly resolute, though he wasn't sure if reality was as he suspected.

After all, he used to be a poor student. Nuclear power technology was simply the ceiling of modern science to him. How could he understand it?

That's a joke!

He didn't even know the composition of a regular AAA battery.

I only know that batteries are hazardous waste and need to be sorted when throwing them away.

"I remember the last Infinity Modifier I encountered had a malfunctioning nuclear reactor, so..."

boom!
The thrust of the aircraft behind it suddenly increased again, and the energy of the air-lifting thruster was rapidly depleting, already approaching the red line.

As a platinum-level being, the Limitless Modifier ahead is naturally not weak. Its modified brain is like a sophisticated computer, devoid of all biological emotions, making it calm and ruthless.

Sensing the rapidly approaching threat from behind, the metallic armor covering its massive body suddenly softened, transforming into a slug-like shape that twisted and contorted in a bizarre manner.

In an instant, the nuclear reactor was encased in the softened armor, concealing the only opening.

"It's this move again!"

Undeterred, Li Zheng did not change his tactics. He thrust the tip of his spear into the armor of the Wuji Modifier. The sharp spearhead was coated with ice, making its armor-piercing properties even better, and it easily pierced through the opponent's defenses.

However, the resistance that followed gave Li Zheng the illusion that a spear was stuck in a rubber tire, making progress difficult.

At the same time, the Wuji Modifier also unleashed his power, executing the "Gunfight Technique," his whole body twisting strangely, and his two ice blades attacking Li Zheng from the left and right at extremely bizarre angles.

Gunfighting is clearly a fighting style that can only be fully performed when paired with firearms.

However, at Li Zheng's level, ordinary firearms are no longer effective in close combat.

Even with distance, Li Zheng could easily evade the deadly bombardment of the rotary cannons using his aircraft.

Therefore, after calculating, the Wuji Modifier decisively abandoned the cannon and instead used this castrated version of gunfighting.

Combined with its ability to freely adjust its body shape, its power is extraordinary.

Li Zheng was unable to draw his gun in time, so he decisively retreated into his residence and switched to a dual-wielding style, spreading his swords left and right to block the opponent's blade.

Bang!
The Wuji Modifier completely defied human anatomy, kicking out with his back to Li Zheng, striking Li Zheng squarely in the chest.

With such a powerful kick, Li Zheng was sent flying backward like a cannonball.

"Stop it!"

Li Zheng slammed into the wall with a loud crash, cursing as he ordered the aircraft to be repaired.

Clutching his chest, Li Zheng pulled himself off the wall. Looking down, he saw that the aircraft's shields had been kicked and deformed, but were being repaired and restored.

Inside the body, countless nanobots, having just repaired two ribs, are now busy again, like 007 employees being exploited by an unscrupulous company.

"That's incredible. It can even hide its weaknesses inside the armor. It's insidious."

However, Li Zheng was also somewhat relieved, because his Ice and Fire Attachment had been upgraded to level two, and both the temperature and the range of influence were much stronger than before.

If it weren't for the fact that the cold had a significant impact on the Wuji Transformer, he estimated that this kick would have sent him straight to the Western Paradise.

"Even though they're both Platinum-level, the Cave Guardian is practically a little brother compared to the Limitless Modifier..."

The slight contempt, arrogance, and conceit that Li Zheng had initially felt from single-handedly killing a platinum-level creature vanished without a trace at this moment.

Your grandpa is still your grandpa; a platinum-level creature is fundamentally far superior to a gold-level creature.

The reason why the cave guardian is so bad is probably because it's made by an "old lady".

……

"Wow! Boss is awesome! That kick felt so good!"

Ye Kai saw Li Zheng being kicked away in the preparation space and cheered on the spot, almost jumping up.

The three of them had no idea that Li Zheng leaving the three-tailed wolf in the next round was a complete accident. They thought he was deliberately playing a trick, so they were all hoping that the final platinum BOSS would give Li Zheng a hard time.

The other two spectators were not happy; instead, they looked at Zhan Zhouzhou with anxious expressions.

In the holographic projection, Zhan Zhouzhou, alone with a sword, was in a sorry state as the Wuji Modifier constantly switched attack modes.

No matter how skillful or mysterious her movements are, or how fast her reaction speed is, the Limitless Modifier can stretch and change his body, posing a great threat to her.

It seemed that Zhan Zhouzhou, who was desperately trying to avoid defeat, would likely be defeated by the Wuji Modifier at any moment.

Liu Jiale even shouted, "Zhan Zhouzhou, keep it up! Let's send one out for Li Zheng first, victory is in sight!"

You need to stand up for yourself!

Chu Xiao frowned and shook his head: "Zhan Zhouzhou's weapon is not good enough. She can only rely on her agility to hold out against the BOSS."

A counterattack... is very difficult!
On the contrary, Li Zheng's side, whether it's weapons, genetic abilities, or that flying device, theoretically has a combat strength far exceeding Zhan Zhouzhou's.

If he keeps his distance while flying the kite, he's sure to win this competition.

Fortunately, for some inexplicable foolishness, he actually went head-to-head with the BOSS, squandering all his advantages in the process.

"Uh..." Ye Kai suddenly realized: "Do you think... now that Li Zheng has suffered, will he change his strategy and kite the BOSS?"

Chu Xiao and Liu Jiale exchanged a glance: "Highly likely."

Liu Jiale added, "After all, compared to the thrill of defeating the Platinum Monster, getting the final winning reward is much more satisfying."

"Too."

……

"Te!"

Li Zheng spat out a mouthful of blood and foam that had risen to his throat, his eyes shining brighter than ever before.

"In that case, I'll have to reveal some of my trump cards."

boom!
The Wuji Transformer slowly turned around and activated "Kinetic Amplification" again, leaping forward.

Li Zheng decisively activated the aircraft again to create distance. His twin swords disappeared, and he took out the Salted Fish Gun and the only gold-level dynamic core.

"Aircraft, charge!"

The energy inside the dynamic core turned into light and disappeared, while the energy bar of the floating thruster behind it instantly filled up.

At the same time, Li Zheng was not idle either, squeezing the trigger of the salted fish gun and continuously firing blue energy bullets.

puff puff~
Each energy blast was enveloped in icy cold, either striking the Infinite Transformer or missing its target and falling to the ground.

clap clap ~
The power of the energy blast imbued with platinum-level abilities goes without saying; the area around the Infinite Modifier was riddled with holes.

On the other side, Li Zheng took out a ribbon gun and fired one slender, fiery red energy bullet after another.

"There's only one minute left before the second Platinum-level unit is released. To create a gap in the competition, I even used up my last Gold-level core. If I don't get the reward in the end, I'll be at a huge loss!"

tom!
A familiar explosion rang out, and a burly figure braved the hail of bullets, pushing against the current.

"you are dead!"

Instead of being surprised, Li Zheng laughed, his lips curving into an infinitely wide arc.

With his two guns in hand, he decisively propelled the aircraft to maneuver sideways and lower its altitude.

……

"It happened!"

Liu Jiale suddenly exclaimed, "Are you crazy! They can fly, you can just jump around a few times and that's it. Now that they've figured out your attack patterns, you still dare to jump around!"

……

The rain of bullets suddenly stopped, and Li Zhengzhen regained his grip on the twin swords, his entire body enveloped in red and blue.

"Secret Technique: A Song of Ice and Fire - Tornado Destroys the Parking Lot!"

Suddenly, one of the jet nozzles on the aircraft behind him stopped working, causing the thrust to become unbalanced, and Li was spinning rapidly in mid-air like a top.

The spinning top spun faster and faster, and in the blink of an eye it transformed into a hurricane of flames and ice, hurtling close to the Limitless Transformer in the air.

Even with a special brain possessing astonishing computing power, the Limitless Modifier had no way to resist this attack for the time being.

hide?
When you're in mid-air with nowhere to grab onto, where can you hide?

block?
When that guy spins those two knives, you can't even see them. How can you block them?
Stretch your body into an arch shape?
It can only alter the body to a certain extent; it cannot do anything too drastic. In the end, the Limitless Modifier could only raise its two broad, sharp blades vertically in a final struggle.

However, there are always parts that it cannot cover.

Puff puff puff puff~

After a series of slashing sounds, the spinning top flew away past the Infinite Modifier.

……

"Did they kill him?" Ye Kai asked nervously, staring intently at the holographic projection on Li Zheng's side.

"We killed them, but Zhan Zhouzhou released another one." Chu Xiao pointed, looking somewhat dejected.

Honestly, if Li Zheng hadn't resorted to dirty tricks, the three of them would have cheered for his victory.

Behind the group, Zhan Zhouzhou's figure appeared first. From the front, she did not seem to have suffered any fatal injuries.

In reality, behind her, a horrific wound stretched from below her neck down to above her hips, almost splitting her vertically in two.

She seized upon a mistake by the Limitless Modifier, rushing in front of him to attempt a kill.

As a result, the Wuji Modifier's arm suddenly softened, and he directly turned his blade and slashed her from behind.

She could have held on for a while longer, but she became anxious when she saw the second Wuji Modifier being released.

clap clap ~
Chu Xiao and the other two clapped simultaneously, applauding Zhan Zhouzhou.

"Although defeated, it is still glorious!"

"Correct!"

"We're not going to compare ourselves to those cheaters; that guy is utterly shameless!"

Zhan Zhouzhou's face was pale, ashen: "Ye Kai, the compass!"

Her wounds were all on her back, and she couldn't treat them herself, so she had to be sent to Xiao Siyuan to find a professional to take care of them.

As for Chu Xiao and the other two helping?

Forget it, Zhan Zhouzhou can't be trusted.

"Here you go! I'll rent it to you."

Ye Kai took out the compass and thoughtfully filled it with a gold-grade dynamic core.

"Thanks!"

Without saying a word, Zhan Zhouzhou took the item and teleported away.

……

In the middle of the field, Li Zheng lay on the ground, vomiting like a dead dog.

“yuer～～～～～～～”

His eyes were tightly closed; he dared not open them.

The violent spinning motion ended, and even though he was lying motionless on the ground, as long as he dared to open his eyes, the world in front of him was still spinning at super high speed, completely blurry lines.

Not only that, he even felt his brain being shaken and evenly mixed as it spun at high speed...

"Oh~ It hurts... Yuer~~"

He kept grumbling and complaining, and Li Zheng was completely unaware that he had been kicked out of the battlefield.

"If I use this trick again, I'll just... never mind, I won't set any more flags, I always end up contradicting myself."

The side effects of this technique are too great; he has never intended to use it since he developed it.

As for inspiration...

Wasn't he competing with Sakura the day he built the flying machine?
The competition ended because he recklessly played with the giant spinning top and then chickened out.

Looking at Li Zheng, who was lying there like a dead dog, Chu Xiao suddenly said, "Tsk, seeing him so pathetic seems to make me happier than seeing him lose!"

"Yes!" Ye Kai nodded vigorously: "Indeed!"

Liu Jiale stepped forward with a wicked grin: "Let's celebrate! Congratulations to our Boss Li Zheng on his final victory."

Grabbing Li Zheng, Liu Jiale used his thick, muscular arms to suddenly fling Li Zheng into the air.

That guy's cunning; he just tossed it around like that.

Seeing this, Chu Xiao and the other man also grinned mischievously and joined in the persecution of Li Zheng.

Li Zheng begged for mercy repeatedly, but the three men ignored him.

"Ow."

Sakura screamed in panic, trying to stop her.

finally……

Li Zheng couldn't help but vomit again, spraying all three of them like a spinning showerhead.

Then the three of them felt disgusted and started vomiting all at once...

……

Player Li Zheng won first place in this competition.

[Drawing rewards...]

[Draw complete. Player Li Zheng is rewarded with a Regional Manager Job Change Certificate.]

The competition has ended, and the venue is being cleared.

After all the prompts were displayed, the players in the preparation space were kicked back without even a portal.

after an hour.

Li Zheng finally recovered from his discomfort, released the capsule, climbed into the bathroom, filled a tub with water, took off his clothes, and lay down inside.

"Hiss~ This water is a bit cold, let's heat it up."

That's the good thing about flame adhesion; it can adhere to almost anything.

Using only three points of genetic energy, Li Zheng heated up most of the bathtub's water.

After soaking for a while, Li Zheng waved his hand, and an object automatically flew into his hand.

This is something similar to a player ID card, and it shows the channel number of Li Zheng's region—0000879.
Several numbers were etched diagonally, and Li Zheng couldn't make out the font. The characters were square with a slight distortion, but they did have a technological feel to them.

Regional Management Job Change Certificate, Diamonds, Special Items

Description: After use, the player will receive a job change quest. Upon completion of the quest, the player will become the channel administrator for that area and will also gain administrator privileges.

Old Pu: Oh ho ho ho hiccup, in such a short time you even got your hands on this thing!

However, I regret to inform you that the subsequent missions are extremely dangerous, and I cannot offer you much assistance.

Keep striving! Compared to the dangers you're about to face, the final rewards will be astonishing!

"administrator?"

After examining it for a moment, Li Zheng decisively chose to use it.

Does it include the "Regional Management Transfer Certificate"?

"Yes!"

The next moment, the ID card that Li Zheng had thrown onto the clothes next to him transformed and disintegrated like building blocks.

The job transfer certificate is in the same state.

Then the two flew together on their own, recombine, and became a new...

ID card.

Player Li Zheng has accepted the Regional Management job change questline.

Task 1: Maintain the current regional channel and improve the security of players in this regional channel.

Description: Personally killed three red-named players.

Current progress: 0/3

[Task 2 will be awarded after completing Task 1.]

That's outrageous!

No one praised my writing in the main text, but in some of the side stories, several readers who had never spoken before suddenly started praising me.

This is so unfair!
I'll give you a number: Within 24 hours, I want to see five people praising me in this chapter!

Otherwise...

Uh...

Otherwise I'll cry!
