Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 176: Some permissions for the regional channel administrator have been enabled.

[At the Fusion Capsule Residence...]

[The target of this fusion is player 0000879 Andrew]

This fusion yields: AK-47 Power Enhanced Version +1 (Gold), Portable Rocket-Boosted Grenade Launcher +1 (Gold), High-Explosive Grenade +1 (Gold)

[This fusion triggered the "Mysterious Declaration" and "Death" traits, granting an additional: Exoskeleton Power Armor +1 (Platinum Tier)]

The first identity card fusion gave Li Zheng a pleasant surprise.

The three gold-level items taken from Andrew's residence held no appeal for Li Zheng, but the mysterious declaration was generous today, giving him an exoskeleton right off the bat.

Li Zheng had seen this thing on Lin Feng before, and he had been so envious of it that he wished he could tear it off for him on the spot.

Unfortunately, it was later smashed by Chu Xiao...

Even so, it does not diminish the power of the exoskeleton.

It's important to know that Lin Feng's physical condition is practically garbage. After putting on the exoskeleton, his unarmed attack power is so high that even Li Zheng in his current state would be killed in three punches. The cost-effectiveness is ridiculously high.

The downside is that the exoskeleton is, after all, an external armor and is only of platinum grade, making it relatively easy to damage during combat. This can be seen from the fact that Lin Feng's exoskeleton was also destroyed after he was crushed to death by Chu Xiao.

Although it is of platinum quality, it is not sturdy enough compared to other items or abilities of the same tier.

Although exoskeleton armor is one of the repairable types, the materials required for repair are outrageously expensive, making it unaffordable for the average person.

Most importantly, the exoskeleton armor only accepts power cores of Platinum grade or higher for charging.

"It can be considered one of my trump cards. With all my current abilities combined, wearing this thing, I can go head-to-head with a Limitless Modifier and not be at a disadvantage!"

Li Zheng was overjoyed. The next time he encountered a Platinum-level monster, he could finally avoid using his "secret technique".

The three identity cards were a great start, which filled Li Zheng with anticipation for the next two integrations.

"Keep up the good work, and I'd prefer to get two platinum-grade dynamic cores!"

The darker a person's face is, the more likely they are to forget their identity, much like a guild leader who organizes a group to raid dungeons.

Pick up the second identity card.

[At the Fusion Capsule Residence...]

[Target of this fusion: Hans, originally player 0000879]
This fusion yields: G36 Assault Rifle - Enhanced Version +1 (Gold), 100g Titanium Alloy, and 12 Intermediate Modules.

[This fusion triggered... Received: 100g of Tiberium Alloy]

Li Zheng: "..."

This... only one hundred grams of Tiberium alloy?
I'm having a bit of bad luck.

It's okay, I still have an identity card. I can accept getting a Platinum Core.

The third one.

[Integration...]

[This fusion... 0000879 Gray]
Acquired: AK-47 Power Upgrade +1, Universal Magazine +1 (Silver), Power Core Type III +1

[Triggering...Gain: Personality Releaser +1]

After the fusion was complete, Li Zheng's mentality finally returned to its normal "broken" state.

It turns out that all that "lucky hands" thing was just an illusion!
Li Zheng: "...WDNMD, these three cannon fodder really are cannon fodder? Apart from the weapons they need to use during the assassination, all they have on them are some low-level materials?"
"Are these materials probably being kept for making bullets?"

After merging the three identity cards, the only thing that surprised Li Zheng was the exoskeleton powered armor from the beginning; the rest...

What kind of junk is this?!
I just hung up two guns, and now three more have appeared. Unbelievable...

"Direct decomposition calculation!"

[Cannot be decomposed]

[Cannot be decomposed]

[Cannot be decomposed]

"..."

"Gan!"

Left with no other choice, I had to list all three firearms in the regional channel and set them to be traded only by players of Chinese nationality.

Looking at the number of remaining players in the regional channel, he suddenly felt heartbroken again.

Finding out who the other player is is quite simple. All Li Zheng needs to do is have everyone in the channel privately contact each other, and whoever goes offline is the one who was implicated.

But it's the middle of the night now, and almost everyone else is resting, so you won't get any information out of them.

After feeling depressed for a while, Li Zheng forced himself to shift his focus and analyze his current situation.

"First of all, these three white people do fit the last speculation of Gangmen Pianzuo: Watanabe Toshio is indeed a pawn of the United States and the United States."

"Ha!" Li Zheng sneered, "As expected of a mud-covered chicken, it's already starting to betray its own master. The bald eagle is probably too angry to sleep right now, isn't it?"

"The three white cannon fodder who came this time must be the revenge squad that Watanabe Toshio begged for before he died, right?"
They remained silent the entire time, were they afraid I would glean something from their language and expose their identities?

To be honest, Li Zheng never expected that the bald eagle could be this arrogant.

Before the three-person team appeared, Li Zheng was quite nervous, after all, the strength he displayed when he brutally killed Watanabe Toshio was definitely not low.

So the Bald Eagle dared to assassinate him by sending only a team of three players with firearms?

This made Li Zheng feel insulted.

None of the three of them have even one silver-level gene ability. Who do they think they are?
"Don't reveal the bald eagle thing for now. I'll go play with them after I've dealt with the mud-baked chickens."

The most urgent task is to get a space-jumping device. Without this device, he can only passively take the beating.

It's like being dressed in a straitjacket, your whole body is full of martial arts skills, but you just can't use them.

Feeling restricted and constrained is very uncomfortable.

"Secondly, there's the Night Warrior. This thing is definitely the work of the players, and it's related to the three people on the left side of the gate."

I don't know if it was an action from Takamagahara or creation..."

This is a simple question. Just ask the guard post to the left and see if they have any relevant information.

Find the profile picture slightly to the left of the gate on the leaderboard, click on it to enter the private chat, edit the message and send it!
The player has logged off; message delivery failed.

The moment the message was sent, a system notification popped up.

"Dead...dead?" Li Zheng was slightly stunned, completely caught off guard.

"Is he the one missing from the channel?"

Who moved the hand?

Creation?

Takamagahara?
Li Zheng had a headache; he really didn't like using his brain.

At this moment, he really wanted those mud-covered chickens to come in front of him, draw up a line, and fight or kill them if necessary.

Even if he was ganged up on, he would accept it.

"Damn it! No matter what your schemes and tricks are, they're all paper tigers in the face of absolute power!"

With a treasure chest hanging on my person, how could I not beat you bunch of little devils?

"You all just wait! Once I get my hands on the space-time teleportation device, I'll slaughter you all within three days!"

Obtaining a space-jumping device is not so simple; you can't rush it.

Instead of thinking about unrealistic things, let's take a look at the second task of regional management.

"Now that mission one is complete, mission two should be unlocked as well."

The task of transferring to regional management was uncovered.

Task 1: Completed.

Unlock administrator privileges for certain regions.

Currently unlocked: Power Ranking Update Rights.

The power rankings for channel 0000879 can be manually updated once a day.

Task 2: Sell three gold-grade or higher "weapon" items to other players in the channel.

Progress: 0/3

[Task 3: Unlocked after completing Task 2.]

After reading the second task, Li Zheng's expression turned strange.

"Why does it feel like there are shortcuts to all these tasks?" "The first task, killing red-named players, can be done by artificially creating red-named players."

"As for the second task... selling for free counts as selling, right? Why don't we give it a try?"

Without hesitation, Li Zheng removed the transaction information from the regional channel and then asked in the chat panel, "Is anyone still awake?"

I thought there would be no one around at this time, but this message actually brought out a few people.

Chen Qianxue: "Me! @Li Zheng, boss, why aren't you resting so late? Are you lonely?"

Yu Yongmei: "I don't know if the big boss didn't sleep because he was lonely, but you little hussy are definitely feeling empty."

Zhou Kai: "I was just about to go to sleep when I suddenly realized that the big boss was leading the way in making suggestive remarks?"

Li Zheng: "???"

When did I start driving?

Don't talk nonsense, I'll sue you for defamation!
Lu Li: "In this long night, let me fill your emptiness. @Chen Qianxue"

Chen Qianxue: "Only Li Zheng can fill my emptiness. @Li Zheng, boss, please let me become like you!"

Yu Yongmei: "You're still the most seductive one."

Zhou Kai: "With your rowing strength that doesn't require oars, you'd probably have turned into someone else by now, wouldn't you?"

Lu Li: "It might have changed more than once."

Chen Qianxue: "So what? I believe that you can pave the way for those who came before you!"

Lu Li: "Damn, that's some serious driving!"

Zhou Kai: "This isn't driving, it's practically low-altitude flight!"

Yu Yongmei: "I'm leaving, I'm going to wash my face. Several cars just passed by one after another, and their tire tracks are like a murder mystery."

Li Zheng: "..."

You guys are really something. I just asked if anyone was still awake, and you drove your car onto the runway. I can't mess with you.

Let's bring the topic back on track, otherwise something bad might happen.

Li Zheng: "Seriously, all of you. Three of you, come help me out."

Chen Qianxue: "Huh? I'm not enough to satisfy the boss by myself? Let me ask the others and we'll give the boss a 4P."

Yu Yongmei: "Yes, we just need to find another person."

Zhou Kai: "??? @Yu Yongmei, something's wrong with you!"

Lu Li: "You're wrong about the stem!"

Li Zheng: "You guys are really something, the whole country's highways aren't enough for you to wreak havoc."

Lu Li: "Father, you flatter me. If you can't find a third person from Chen Qianxue's side, please allow me to do my filial duty."

Li Zheng finally snapped: "Fuck you, get out!"

Zhou Kai: "Hey buddy, do you think I'm any good?"

Lu Li: "What nonsense! If I, as your son, am not good enough, how could your father possibly want you?"

Seeing the conversation starting to veer in an even more outrageous direction, Li Zheng immediately made a decision on who to include: "Except for the unfilial son, let the others come along too, we're in a hurry."

Yu Yongmei: "Oh, so the boss doesn't discriminate between meat and vegetables?"

Chen Qianxue: "Those little sluts are all asleep... Eh? Did the big boss choose me? Everyone, I'm wet, my eyes are wet!"

Zhou Kai: "Well... since the big boss has spoken, I'll go wash up first."

Lu Li: "Don't wash it. Maybe Father just likes it?"

Li Zheng: "You unfilial son, you're finished!"

……

After much effort, Li Zheng finally managed to hand over all three guns.

As he had predicted, there was indeed a shortcut to Mission Two.

Task 2: Completed.

"There really is a shortcut!" Li Zheng couldn't help but complain. Although giving things away for free is pretty stupid, as long as the shortcut works, that's fine.

If you really can't bear to part with it, you can always recycle it.

"Alright, give me back all the guns."

Of course, if you're interested, you can trade some items with me; I'll sell them at a low price.

They had agreed that it was just a favor, and the three of them didn't try to renege on their promise.

Zhou Kai gave Li Zheng five bottles of silver-grade blood. Li Zheng checked and found that they could be used to make two other silver-grade 1+ potions.

Yu Yongmei gave Li Zheng five silver cores, and Li Zheng thought she was quite generous, so he casually gave her an extra magazine as a free gift.

Chen Qianxue... She sent Li Zheng more than 30 explicit photos in a private chat, along with a pair of unwashed underwear that hadn't been washed for seven days.

Li Zheng didn't even look at it; he returned the actual item directly. As for the photos...

Since you guys don't like watching, I won't go into details.

Unlock some administrator privileges.

Currently unlocked:
①Right to update the power rankings.

slightly.

②Right to move freely within the area.

Area administrators receive ten opportunities each day to teleport to other players.

[Task 3: Assist other players in killing three creatures of Gold rank or higher.]

Progress: 0/3

"Is this series of tasks going to make me a job as an administrator or a nanny?" Li Zheng was almost dumbfounded after reading the third task.

From mission one to mission three, all of them are designed to help weaker players. From a strength perspective, this is the matrix selecting a capable person to be in charge.

From a moral standpoint, this is just picking on a saint!
"I have a feeling this management style is more suited to Lao Xiao." Li Zheng scratched his head and then turned his attention to the two privileges that had already been activated.

"The power ranking update right can quickly find players who have been transferred from other channels."

The right to move within a channel is somewhat similar to the mysterious declaration, except that the mysterious declaration is random, while the right to move can specify a target.

In that case..."

Li Zheng set his sights on the combat power rankings and used his one-time ranking refresh privilege for the day.

"refresh!"

The next second, the power rankings began to change.

Li Zheng watched helplessly as his name successfully reached the top, standing out among all others.

But below him were none of Zhan Zhouzhou or any of them.

"Not enough money? This name is quite straightforward, and the style is reminiscent of our compatriots from China."

"Is he new here too?"

Li Zheng did not act rashly. He first scanned the top fifty on the list and successfully found six unfamiliar names, including one with not enough money.

Only one player, ranked 21st, is a mud-baked chicken player named "Que Xinyanzi".

"Is he out of his mind?"
"You're the one!"

Li Zheng's eyes narrowed as he locked onto his target.

Lu Li and the others were still chatting before the regional channel was closed.

Zhou Kai: "Huh? Is it already eight o'clock? Why did the power ranking suddenly refresh?"

……

Li Zheng woke up the sleeping Sakura, ignoring the little creature's stern protests, and dragged it out of the residence, putting away the capsule.

after that.

"walk!"
