Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 167 It’s getting dark

"Killed a red-named player?"

Li Zhengle spoke up, this task coincided with his next goal, and he could easily handle it.

"Hopefully it's worth it." Li Zheng leaned into the bathtub, submerging his chin as well.

Most of the rewards from the previously cleared dungeon rooms were immediately usable.

Even blueprints reveal their inherent value.

The only exception is this job transfer certificate.

Although it's labeled as "diamond-level," it seems that as long as the task isn't completed, the final reward won't be received.

"A regional administrator, with special privileges?"

Li Zheng lay in the bathtub, lost in thought, until the warm water cooled completely before he got up.

Stepping out of the bathtub, a flash of blue light appeared on my body, and tiny ice shards fell to the floor.

It also took away a body full of fatigue and discomfort.

"Nanny, give me that set of clean clothes."

Soon, the nanny came in carrying another set of silver-grade clothes.

Li Zheng took the clothes and quickly changed into them, looking completely refreshed.

"Wash that set of clothes."

After outlining the nanny's work procedures, Li Zheng left the capsule residence.

Li Zheng discovered that his life had become increasingly comfortable since the advent of the intelligent humanoid robot.

If the engineer android could operate the stove, he could even live a life where he had everything done for him.

In the Matrix game, this is something that no one else would even dare to dream of.

"Hmm...should we make some housekeeping dolls and sell them?"

Li Zheng stood at the door and thought about it carefully, but finally put the idea aside.

It's not that selling humanoid dolls will result in a loss or anything like that.

The main problem is that this thing looks exactly like a real person. If it's sold and then used by players for some weird things, Li Zheng thinks...

We cannot let them get away with it.

The main reason is that he doesn't want to be locked in a dark room.

"Huh? Sakura?"

Looking up, Li Zheng was drawn to a figure darting through the air. After watching for a while, he realized that the little guy was figuring out how to replicate his "giant spinning top."

Judging from Sakura's flight, she has been trying to figure it out for a while, but she hasn't made much progress. Her movements are very clumsy, and she can only manage to spin around three times without landing.

"This guy, didn't he see how severe the side effects are?"

Li Zheng smiled and shook his head, but he didn't stop Xiao Ying from continuing to practice. He just called out to her to come back, then put away their home and took her back on their exploration journey.

Instead of entering the biological room, Li Zheng specifically sought out the material room and connected the two.

My luck wasn't great, but it wasn't bad either. I got two silver-level dynamic cores and some low-level materials, so the overall value was acceptable.

"What a pity, there's no gold-grade dynamic core."

Li Zheng took out the mysterious declaration and continued opening the door.

This time, he didn't choose; he just went through the door that was closest to him.

Since there was still some time before dark, Li Zheng happened to witness other players fighting various creatures in part of the room he entered.

Most of the time, Li Zheng was unwilling to get involved.

There was Fengshan's pocket watch, and also the gene serum he provided.

If these players still can't win and have to ask others for help, then Li Zheng might start to doubt whether these people are worth the care he gave them before.

However, there were also unlucky ones who entered a door on black difficulty but ended up in a red difficulty one instead.

For example, Li Zheng helped a woman named Mo Lian, who was using a pocket watch to detect the black difficulty level. She changed doors and, by sheer bad luck, encountered two silver-level creatures whose strength was amplified during the day.

When Li Zheng saw her, she was already completely overwhelmed by the two silver-level creatures and was on the verge of defeat.

She saw Li Zheng arrive and immediately cried for help.

There was no other way but to take down those two silver monsters one shot at a time, and then dismantle them all to obtain ten bottles of silver-grade 3+ materials.

Mo Lian was so excited that she wanted to offer herself to Li Zheng on the spot, but Li Zheng coldly rejected her.

It's not that Li Zheng is a perfect gentleman, nor that Mo Lian is unattractive.

On the contrary, Mo Lian has a standard internet celebrity oval face and a rather tall figure.

If it weren't for the fact that the other person hadn't showered for almost a week and was covered in filth, Li Zheng would have had a hard time preventing himself from making some fundamental mistakes.

If you insist that he doesn't have a restroom, what are you going to do?

Can't you just wash it?
Li Zheng could only say one thing: Women will only slow down my sword-drawing speed.

However, after this experience, Li Zheng suddenly discovered that the mysterious declaration had a new use.

He opened doors and cleared levels one by one. Whenever Li Zheng encountered a clearly evenly matched opponent that would take some time to defeat, he would directly step in to help kill them.

They call it "helping others is a pleasure."

He casually decomposed those organisms, keeping only some blood-like materials that were useful to him, and returning the rest to others.

To put it nicely, this is a reward for your hard work.

To put it bluntly, it's just protection money.

After completing the nine player rooms, Li Zheng obtained materials for three types of silver-level potions.

Unfortunately, the quantity is limited and the materials are not well-matched, so we'll have to wait until later to collect other materials.

At the same time, Li Zheng gained some understanding of the survival difficulties faced by others. It turned out that players with lower combat power had to be very careful when fighting some silver monsters at this stage.

The difficulty for them in the Silver rank is roughly equivalent to the difficulty Li Zheng faced when confronting the Gold rank monster two days ago...

As for the top 200 players, they find it easy to deal with Silver monsters, but it's more difficult to encounter Gold monsters, and there's a possibility of losing.

Of course, since many people are looking for Black Iron Monsters, most people's daily explorations are still quite safe.

This was thanks to the sacrifice Fengshan made at the time, giving pocket watches to others.

Aside from the player rooms, Li Zheng entered one of the 10% of rooms in the Mysterious Declaration feature: a low-temperature room. Inside, he found an ice-type silver-level fruit.

It did add another 15 experience points to the Ice and Fire Attachment.

With this, the seventh day of exploration officially came to an end.

Night falls.

At dinner time, Li Zheng went all out this time, preparing three silver-level dishes in an effort to get himself into peak condition.

During the meal, he contacted Ye Kai, wanting to borrow the Hunter's Compass.

They were told that the compass was in Zhan Zhouzhou's possession.

Having no other choice, Li Zheng contacted Lady Zhan again and, after much persuasion, managed to get the compass over.

"Damn it, I shouldn't have told them about the mud-baked chicken. They all got carried away and wanted to cause trouble themselves." Li Zheng fiddled with the compass and was surprised to find that it could still be used four times.

Ye Kai had done this so that Zhan Zhouzhou could easily go to Lao Xiao's place to help him recharge, but now Li Zheng benefited from it.

After leaving the competition room, Zhan Zhouzhou teleported directly to Xiao Siyuan, originally planning to find trouble with the other two mud-roasted chickens after treating her wounds.

As a result, due to the severity of the injury, he had not recovered much by nightfall.

Even so, Zhan Zhouzhou was originally unwilling to hand over the compass to Li Zheng, but in the end, Li Zheng threatened to take back the Eye of Preer, and only then did she get the compass back.

Similarly, it was fortunate that Ye Kai and his team were playing in the competition room today. Liu Jiale was slightly injured, but he realized that there was still a gap between his strength and Li Zheng's, so he did not rush to rent the compass.

Chu Xiao knew he could at most kill a mud-covered chicken. He was worried that if he went looking for trouble, he would alert the enemy, so he gave up the idea of ​​taking action himself.

Ye Kai, on the other hand, still had to repair the mecha...

After obtaining the compass, Ye Kai contacted Li Zheng privately, making it clear that it wouldn't hurt for him to use the compass.

However, Li Zheng had to broadcast the punishment of the mud-baked chicken live so that they could also have a good look.

Li Zheng did not rush to agree. Instead, he studied the broadcast process settings and found that the target audience could be specified before he agreed to Ye Kai's request.

After a satisfying meal with plenty of water and vegetables, Li Zheng stretched his limbs a bit, packed away his capsule residence, and prepared to begin his post-meal activities.

"Live broadcast begins! The designated audience is all Dragon Kingdom players on channel 879!"

[The live stream is now open. Please abide by the streamer's code of conduct. Violators will be stripped of their streamer status.]

As soon as the live stream started, players from more than ten regional channels quickly joined.

Barrage--

Liu Jin: Isn't this Li Zheng? Why is he streaming so late?
Zhou Kai: You don't know anything! Starting a live stream at this time means the big shot is going to perform some talent!
Mo Lian: Boss, what's wrong with me? You won't even accept my offer of myself!
Liujin: Something's up?
Zhou Kai: Am I a cha?

Ye Kai: Just watch, don't talk nonsense. What Li Zheng is doing is very important, don't affect him.

Chu Xiao: Has it started? It's a pity my strength is too weak, otherwise Li Zheng would never have had such a good opportunity.

Passerby: Is what Boss Chu is saying even human language?

Passerby A: Versailles Palace is almost overflowing, isn't it?

Fengshan: Huh? What's going on here? What's that guy surnamed Li doing?
"Why the hell aren't you going to deal with Yu Xiaoyu? What are you doing watching this live stream?"

Li Zheng paused for a moment, then immediately started working on the live stream settings.

[Players: Fengshan, Yu Xiaoyu, Feng Qiwu, Yan Guang, have had their live streams blocked.]

"Yu Xiaoyu's identity is unknown. Before we figure out her true strength in Fengshan, we can't let her find out too much."

Li Zheng muttered to himself, feeling a bit of a headache: "With Feng Shan's intelligence, I'm afraid he won't figure out Yu Xiaoyu's true strength, but instead, someone else will find out his true nature..."

"If the compass has any extra teleportation opportunities afterward, I can go there myself."

Having made up his mind, Li Zheng didn't waste any more words and directly activated the Hunter Compass, designating his target: Watanabe Toshio!
……

"Oh dear, normal exploration is so boring..."

Watanabe Toshio raised his hand, and a boomerang-shaped weapon flew back into his hand automatically from the corpse of a gold-level creature.

If Li Zheng were here, he would definitely recognize this gold-level creature.

Three-headed demon lion!

This is a room with grassland terrain, where the three-headed ghost lions originally lived, and now there are as many as eight of them!

However, now, all eight three-headed demon lions have become corpses, with fresh blood gushing out and steaming.

"Hmm, it's getting dark. Let's contact those two idiots and have them come over to meet us."

Watanabe Toshio walked back and forth amidst a sea of ​​crimson blood, as one demon lion after another was broken down into materials and sent into his capsule dwelling.

At the same time, he took out a prop that looked like a radio, turned it on, and two electronic lights lit up.

One green, one red.

"One died?"

Watanabe Toshio frowned, sensing that something was wrong.

……

Sitting on the left side of the gate, near the entrance to the capsule residence, he felt a chill run down his spine as he watched the sky outside suddenly darken.

"it's dark."
