Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 202 Selling Platinum-Grade Crops and Nobody Wants Them? Li Zheng is Exploding
Arctic Ibaraki

Rank: Platinum

Type: Crop

Description: It can only grow in environments with temperatures as low as -100℃, and there is a chance that it will produce one seed each time it bears fruit.

Old Pu: If you are confident in maintaining its growing environment, you can consider transplanting it.

You're not really considering it, are you?
Your math is really bad!

Li Zheng was preparing to move the Arctic Ibaraki out of the country when Lao Pu's words gave him a wake-up call.

The Arctic Ibaraki fruit can only produce one at a time, and it has no seed. Even if its growth rate is the same as that of the Flame Branch, it only yields 5 more experience points than a round of Flame Flower.

However, maintaining its growing environment is much more troublesome than that of the Flame Branch.

After figuring this out, Li Zheng pondered for two seconds before uprooting the Arctic Ibaraki: "If I don't plant it, can't I even sell it?"

Without even going to the next room, Li Zheng directly filled in its information into the world channel, used today's megaphone, and sent it out.

[000024 Li Zheng: [Arctic Ibaraki] A crop that can produce Platinum-level ability development items. Only one plant available. Buy now while supplies last! Also: Buying large quantities of Ice and Fire gene ability development items! I want them all, from Silver to Platinum!]

At this point, Li Zheng was no longer afraid of revealing that he was on Channel 24.

He believed that the person behind Chizuru Kamishiro had already spread his whereabouts far and wide.

Li Zheng casually browsed through the history of the world channel and found that there was much less idle chatter and much more transaction information like his own.

But as for the quality...

Most items are silver, a small portion are gold, and platinum-tier items are extremely rare.

It's easy to imagine that even though the game has been running for almost ten days, many players are still hiding and not daring to explore.

Li Zheng has figured out the pattern these days.

When each player explores alone, the "dangers" they encounter actually fluctuate within a certain range based on their own strength.

This can be seen from the information detected by the pocket watch made by Fengshan. Even in the black room that represents "death", there is a chance to survive if you deal with it properly.

Although Li Zheng encountered two outrageous rooms on the first day, the real danger was caused by his own reckless actions.

If you explore in a conventional way, those two rooms are actually not very dangerous.

Furthermore, by the end of the beginner period, the terminal had already made corrections, restoring the super-limited creatures to their full strength. This also means that players will not encounter them again before reaching that level.

Finding nothing of interest on the World Channel, Li Zheng stopped watching.

No seeds of Arctic Ibaraki were found in the crevices of the rocks, and even when looking into the distance, Old Pu did not give any hint that there were seeds.

Li Zheng didn't care. He got up and took Xiao Ying and the others with him, dealing with private messages as he walked.

With the removal of restrictions on private chat, more players started sending private messages, but most of them were "online beggars" trying to curry favor with Li Zheng and gain some advantage from him.

There was another group whose background Li Zheng didn't know, for example:
“Three catties of roasted meat, in exchange for Arctic Ibaraki.”

"I am the leader of the Lone Wolf organization. I have conscripted Arctic Ibaraki. I hope you will not be ungrateful."

"Hey bro, wanna get gay? One Arctic Ibaraki tree for one time."

"Hey bro, wanna have an online relationship? I have a cute, loli voice."

……

Li Zheng glanced at the profile picture with the loli voice and silently added the bearded guy to his permanent blacklist.

Of course, there were also normal inquiries about the transaction, such as "Tang Qianzang," whom I had communicated with before, who sent me a private message this time.

"Brother, is there only crop in the Arctic Ibaraki tree? You got your hands on the fruit too, right? Want to sell it?"

Li Zheng replied to him: "I ate the fruit, I only sell the crops."

Tang Qiancang said disappointedly, "Oh, never mind then, I don't have a petri dish."

Immediately afterwards, Tang Qiancang sent another private message: "If you only have crops, I suggest you don't sell them. I haven't heard of anyone having culture dishes at this stage."

Someone tried selling crops in the world chat before, but not a single one sold. If you don't believe me, go search the trading hall; there are tons of all kinds of crops, they're practically everywhere.

Too common?
So exaggerated?

Li Zheng refused to believe it and opened the trading hall. After searching, he found that there were indeed many crops.

However, most of the crops are ordinary agricultural products, mainly food crops such as ginseng flowers and honey fruits.

Only a very few are special crops like the Flame Branch, and their rank is generally not high; gold is rarely seen.

Li Zheng dismissed the idea: "It's fine. If someone wants it, I'll sell it; if no one wants it, I'll keep it." Tang Qiancang: "Keep it? Without a culture dish, this thing is just space-consuming junk."

Rubbish?

Have you ever seen platinum-grade garbage?
Li Zheng did not reply to the other party.

However, this exchange also served as a reminder to Li Zheng.

Perhaps I should change my approach and sell something else.

After thinking for a moment, Li Zheng found Chu Xiao's profile picture and sent him a private message: "Do you have any extra megaphones?"

The other party may have been busy and did not reply to the message immediately.

Li Zheng wasn't in a hurry. He dealt with other private messages and permanently blocked a few players who were trying to be clever.

Aside from Tang Qianzang, very few people seriously inquired about Beiji Ibaraki. However, some people who had the ability to develop props asked Li Zheng what price he was willing to pay.

"Why are they all Silver-level?"

Li Zheng frowned. There were only eight players willing to sell development items, all of whom were silver-level and their items were generally not very valuable.

That makes sense. For ordinary players, the silver level might be considered lackluster, but the success rate of the gold level is enough for them to try it out.

After eliminating three players who offered too high a price, Li Zheng successfully traded with the remaining five players using one bronze and one silver core.

After the transaction is completed, immediately consume all five items to gain an additional 75 experience points.

Just then, Chu Xiao finally replied.

"How many you want?"

Look at what they're saying.

While others only have a daily limit of one small loudspeaker, he asks you how many you want right away.

Are you treating emotional gossip like it's nothing special to you?

Li Zheng didn't ask how the other party obtained the extra megaphones, but simply said, "One is enough, name your price."

"It's just a cheap little trinket, I'll give it to you as a gift."

Chu Xiao readily sent Li Zheng an item and left a message in the seller's message: "Take it and use it. I feel really bad about it. Just give me a gold-level earth-type development item later."

Loudspeaker
Rank: Gold

Type: Consumables
Description: Can replace the "megaphone" to send messages in the world channel, with a maximum of five uses per person per day.

Used: 0/5

The "loudspeaker" looks like a megaphone used for shouting. It's also very easy to use: just record the message you want to send and play it back.

Li Zheng quickly finished and sent out a new message on the world channel.

[000024 Li Zheng: Equipment for Sale [Advanced Soilless Culture Dishes] Only ten units available, first come, first served!]

Once this message was sent out, the world channel was once again abuzz with excitement because of Li Zheng.

The most outrageous thing is that the private messages in the background exploded, reaching 999+ in the blink of an eye.
