Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 185 Outer City? Extraordinary Item?

"Who would want these things?!"

When Li Zheng shouted those words, his face turned red and his neck bulged. If he didn't know he couldn't beat Luo Aimang, he would have wanted to pry open the other man's head to see what was inside.

However, this statement clearly hurt Roemand's pride, and it flew into a rage, rolling up several pieces and pointing at them, shouting, "Who would want them?"

Do you know who this is?
This beautiful lady is named Izayoi Ootori, and she has been a household name in the outer city for a long time!
He only shot three photobooks in his lifetime: Octopus Prince Issue 176, Octopus Outfit Issues 325687, and Love Tears Pavilion Issue 56!
These three publications are all limited editions; there are fewer than 60,000 copies in the entire outer city combined. Do you know how much I paid to get them?

Looking at the so-called big star's as many as thirty-six tentacles, Li Zheng scoffed, "Are you sure this so-called limited edition isn't just because only 60,000 copies were sold?"

Snapped!
Luo Aimang slammed the magazine aside, pointed at Li Zhengyi, and said sternly, "You are not allowed to insult my goddess!"

As we all know, for a "homebody," a goddess is their faith.

No one is allowed to slander or defame us.

Seeing that Luo Aimang had picked up several magazines to continue his presentation, Li Zheng quickly stopped him: "Stop, stop, stop! You should bring something else to trade, these..."

I am truly unworthy of such a treat!

It's hard to imagine that the treasured possessions that Romain de La Mans, a black market dealer, brought out were actually a stack of erotic magazines.

In response, Li Zheng said: It's more than just being unable to enjoy it.

Looking at it even once is like shortening your lifespan!
Li Zheng felt he needed to wash his eyes after just a few unintentional glances.

However, Roemand did not agree to change the goods, explaining, "Strictly speaking, this intelligence transaction should be considered a private transaction between us. I can only pay for the goods needed for the transaction myself, and I cannot use the store's goods."

Can't we use goods from the black market?

Li Zheng understood after a little thought.

The value of a piece of intelligence is not fixed; it is very important to those who need it, but worthless to those who don't.

However, black market shops typically deal in goods with fixed value, which cannot be equated with information such as "intelligence".

Simply put, if information about obtaining "Valok Eyes" is traded through black market rules, even if Roamán offers only a bottle of the lowest-grade black iron blood material, the terminal will still consider it a "loss".

Therefore, Roemand could only try to find a way to bypass the terminal's value judgment in this transaction.

After all, it's the company that needs this information, not the black market shop, and certainly not other traders.

Li Zheng asked it, "You're not going to tell me that your personal belongings are full of this junk, are you?"

"Trash?" Luo Aimang gave him a disdainful look. "Do you know that the combined value of all the magazines here is comparable to a regular diamond-grade prop?"

"Then give me a diamond-level item, you bastard!"

Li Zheng roared, "A dignified black market merchant can't even produce a single ordinary diamond-grade item?"

Luo Aimang said firmly, "I really can't produce any. I wouldn't even want to keep that kind of trash, diamond-grade, as it takes up too much space. How could I possibly keep it as inventory?"

Upon hearing this, Li Zheng hesitated for three seconds, then decisively turned around, dragged the feigning-dead Xiaoying away, and left with a very decisive "Goodbye!"

Now Luo Aimang was in a hurry. If he missed Li Zheng's intelligence, he would have to wander around outside for another twenty days before he could return to the store.

During this period, it will have to live in constant fear, avoiding encounters with some creatures it doesn't want to meet.

This wasn't just it being overly pessimistic; after all, Li Zheng was one of the targets it didn't want to encounter.

Didn't we run into each other?
So it darted in front of Li Zheng, blocking his way, and said in a fawning tone, "If you're not satisfied with the price, we can discuss it."

Li Zheng didn't speak, but calmly looked at him, waiting for him to come up with a solution that would satisfy both sides.

After thinking for a moment, Luo Aimang finally came up with a solution: "In that case, don't even think about diamond-grade stuff, I definitely don't have any."

"But I do have a few extraordinary items that are a level above diamonds. I can rent one to you for three days. You can use it as you like during those three days, and I'll take it back when it's over. How about it?"

Extraordinary items!

It has to be said that Li Zheng was immediately smitten just by hearing those four words.

At this stage, most players are still at the level of silver and gold.

Only players at the top of the power rankings have the opportunity to access Platinum-level items. Not to mention Diamond-level items, which even a cheater like Li Zheng has only seen a few times.

Extraordinary-grade items are one level higher than diamonds.

Even if he could only hold it for three days, it would still be a huge profit for Li Zheng.

After all, all he gave up was a piece of worthless information.

However, despite his interest, Li Zheng did not show it on his face. He wanted to squeeze more out of Luo Aimang and see if he could get another layer of profit out of him.

"How about this, you show me the extraordinary items you can rent to me first, and then I'll make a decision, okay?"

"no problem!"

Luo Aimang took out three props and displayed their respective attributes for Li Zheng to choose from.

Kroll III Electromagnetic Rifle, Extraordinary, Weapon
Description: The third electromagnetic weapon developed by Kroll Corporation, although it has been phased out and is no longer in production.

However, the technology it uses is not outdated even today.

Energy: 21% (only accepts Superpower Core charging)

Cyber ​​Gauss Lightsaber, Extraordinary Weapon

Description: The Cyber ​​race is passionate about inventing and modifying melee weapons, with the Gauss lightsaber being their masterpiece.

Unfortunately, the crafting techniques were lost after the Cyber ​​race perished.

Energy: 18% (only accepts Superpower Core charging)

Space pirates, extraordinary, special items

Description: The developers of the Star Pirates are unknown. All the research departments of the companies in the outer city believe that it may be related to the Star Pirates who traveled away in the past.

You can ignore restrictions and freely move between various regional channels.

Number of uses remaining: 30/50
Note: This item can only be charged using a space pirate-specific energy core.

After examining the three items one by one, Li Zheng realized that Luo Aimang truly lived up to his reputation as a black market merchant and a "collector fanatic."

Compared to the so-called "limited edition" magazine, the three props that are being shown now are the real limited editions.

Either production has ceased or the manufacturing process has been lost; it can be said that for every piece that is scrapped, there is one less in the world.

The extraordinary weapon is so powerful that it completely overwhelms all current players. Li Zheng only needs one of them to dominate the battlefield.

Unfortunately, with limited remaining energy, Li Zheng naturally set his sights on the last item, the "Star Pirate."

Although the Space Pirate weapon cannot enhance Li Zheng's combat power, its functionality far surpasses that of the other two weapons.

Li Zheng immediately made a decision: "This is it. Also, answer a few more questions for me, and I'll tell you the information."

"Greed knows no bounds!"

Reluctantly, Luo Aimang tossed the space pirate to Li Zheng, retrieved the other two weapons, and said, "Ask away, but I can't guarantee I can answer all of them."

Li Zheng took the Star Pirate. The prop was extremely heavy. It looked like a shuttle-shaped object that was only ten centimeters long, three centimeters thick, and two centimeters wide, but it weighed nearly a hundred pounds.

If his physique hadn't already reached the Silver level, that throw and catch would have nearly killed him.

After putting his belongings into the capsule residence, a strange glint flashed in Li Zheng's eyes as he asked his first question: "Where is the outer city?"

I'm sorry, I went to the hospital for a checkup today, and the results completely ruined my mood. Then, my family's lack of support for my novel writing added another blow to my already less-than-ideal state of mind.

That's all for today. I'll add more tomorrow, and I also need to sort out some of the later settings.

Don't worry, it won't be castrated.

On the contrary, my worsening condition made me want to update more frequently.

And that's how it is.
