Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 180 Earth Dragon Crystal Core, Diamond Grade
Mysterious black flashlight, gold, special items
Description: When activated, it emits a black beam of light for illumination.

Uncertain Future: When merging with unclaimed capsule dwellings, two additional acquisition rates can be added on top of the three base acquisition rates.

Note: This feature is effective when held in hand.

Old Pu: Black light? What is black light?

As the name suggests, it is black light.

However, as is well known, there is no black in the spectrum.

So how exactly does a black light flashlight emit black light?
you ask me?
I asked who to go?

Does it defy common sense?

Aren't there enough things about you that defy common sense?
In short, you guessed right, it is indeed one of the components.

"..."

After reading the specifications of the small, exquisite flashlight in his hand, Li Zheng fell into a brief silence.

"I feel that any ready-made item obtained directly, whether it's its attributes, its function, or its appearance, is a bit strange."

Ham, salted fish, and ribbonfish—they all appear to be food, but in reality, they are weapons.

The mysterious lantern, which is clearly a lighting prop, only emits light when held in the hand.

That's fine.

What's the meaning of this flashlight that emits black light suddenly appearing now?
Are you afraid of falling and dying when walking at night?
Unable to find a reason to complain, Li Zheng, driven by curiosity, turned on the black light flashlight.

The next second, the flashlight emitted a pure black beam of light, shooting straight out.

It's like someone using a black pen to leave a straight, meaningless black line on a canvas.

The strangest thing was that Li Zheng actually felt a "blinding" sensation from this black light.

The occurrence of this physiological phenomenon can only be described in two words—it's absolutely outrageous!

Fortunately, the black light didn't last long.

Because after Li Zheng tried it, he combined it with the mysterious declaration.

The black light disappeared as the flashlight was merged into it, and the mysterious declaration held in the other hand also underwent some subtle changes.

The red "eyes" that were originally rolling and floating in the firelight suddenly gained two pure black dots, just like pupils, making them vivid and lifelike.

As the "eyes" rolled around, Li Zheng even had the illusion that he was being watched, which made him feel uneasy.

"After the seal on this thing is completely broken, will it turn into the head of some creature?" Li Zheng wondered to himself.

The mysterious declaration changed several times, giving him a sense of déjà vu: "Could this thing be the head of a demon king that was cut off by a warrior and is gradually awakening as the seal is broken?"

Just like "Chi You" and "Xing Tian" in Chinese mythology.

"I'm overthinking things. It's a real shame I don't write novels with this kind of imagination." Li Zheng chuckled self-deprecatingly, then looked again at the rolling "eyeball" in the middle of the lantern, which no longer had the same feeling as before.

"It's probably just the uncanny valley effect."

With a thought, the originally bright white light of the lantern in Li Zheng's hand suddenly went out, and what rolled in the darkness were white "eyeballs" with a reddish tinge.

The lights changed again, emitting a red glow, and the pupils correspondingly turned white with black undertones, making them look more like a pair of eyes.

The hand holding the lantern swayed, and the eyes rolled in the red light. This asynchrony caused the eyes to sometimes turn into cross-eyedness or half-cross-eyedness, which looked somewhat inexplicably comical.

After testing all three modes, Li Zheng confirmed the attributes of the Mysterious Declaration.

Seal: 2/3
The characteristic of having no bright future has also been added.

Apart from that, nothing else has changed.

The lighting range has not been expanded either.

“There’s one more component that can unlock all the seals.” Li Zheng then noticed the characteristic that originally belonged to the lantern: “I’m a little curious now, what exactly is the key that leads to where?”

"Do we need to break all the seals to find that place?"

Old Pu didn't know the answer to this question either, so he didn't offer any hints.

Li Zheng was too lazy to think about it, so he simply stuffed the lantern into his residence.

Things will work themselves out. When the time comes that we encounter the problem or the seal is broken, the answer will naturally come to light.

Looking at the time, it was already past 2 a.m.

"It's so late, let's find a place to rest first, and see how things go tomorrow to finish Mission Three as well."

"Hmm...you're the one. Perfect for settling some personal scores."

After browsing the combat power rankings, Li Zheng selected Lu Li and activated the "Walking" privilege to teleport over.

"Aww!" As soon as they entered Lu Li's room, Xiao Ying, who had been following Li Zheng, became cheerful.

When fighting Que Xinyanzi, Li Zheng didn't pay attention to it, and the ultimate isolation had already failed.

If it hadn't already reached adulthood and been able to unleash all the abilities of a Silver-level leader, it wouldn't have been able to stay in that low-temperature environment for long.

Bang!
Li Zheng released the capsule dwelling and let it go in first. He then took an iron ingot and ran to the door of Lu Li's dwelling, where he began to knock politely.

duang! duang! duang!

Lu Li had just fallen asleep when he was woken up by the noisy noise, and he immediately became furious.

"This broken terminal is causing all sorts of wandering monsters in the middle of the night, making it impossible for me to sleep peacefully."

This is so annoying!
"Watch me shoot you dead, you son of a bitch!"

Lu Li grabbed his sniper rifle, cursing as he went to open the door, intending to go out and teach the other party a lesson.

In his mind, there was no other explanation for this time of day that would appear in a player's room except for a wandering creature.

So, the moment he opened the door and thrust the sniper rifle against Li Zheng's forehead, Li Zheng was instantly jolted awake, all sleepiness gone.

"Father, what brings you here?"

"Hey, you unfilial son, you dare point a gun at me?"

Li Zheng grinned, grabbed the sniper rifle barrel, and yanked it outwards.

Then he realized that the player was inside the residence, and although others couldn't get in, he would be pulled out.

"I didn't mean to!" Lu Li was caught off guard and pulled away, falling to the ground and trying to escape back to his residence by using his hands and feet.

"You still want to slip away?"

Unfortunately, due to his small size, Li Zheng pinned him down and made him unable to move.

"Daddy, no..."

Before he could even finish pleading for mercy, Li Zheng punched him right in the eye socket.

"Ouch~"

……

Ten minutes later, Li Zheng returned to his residence, feeling completely relieved.

He brushed off non-existent dust from his hands and gave a cold laugh: "Let's see if you dare to speak so recklessly again!"

In some ways, Li Zheng is quite vengeful.

He will never forget the fact that Lu Li made fun of him.

Especially after granting privileges to those in management positions, retaliation becomes incredibly convenient.

If you don't use the right to walk ten times a day to show favoritism, wouldn't that be a waste?
"Ow?"

Sakura looked up at Li Zheng in confusion, not understanding why he was so happy.

But the little guy didn't care, he just turned over and went back to sleep.

Li Zheng walked lightly back to his bed and lay down. First, he exchanged a bunch of fiber in the trading hall for Xiao Ying to use as a mattress, and then he exchanged it for several packs of toilet paper.

Then he flipped to the tips he hadn't had time to finish reading before.

[This fusion triggered...Reward: Earth Dragon Crystal Core +1]

Earth Dragon Crystal Core, Diamond, Materials

Description: Can be obtained by dismantling the diamond-level creature "Earth Dragon".

Effect: After a pet consumes this item, it will randomly inherit one of the Earth Dragon's abilities.

"Pet props?"

Li Zheng was quite satisfied; at least its effects were immediate, which was better than materials like "vibranium."

"Earth dragons are diamond-level creatures, after all. If they inherit any ability, they should at least be at least platinum level, right?"

……

The next day, Li Zheng woke up before the Sakura alarm clock even started working.

He was awakened by gunfire today.
