Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 207: Errand Runs and the Real Use of the "Tech Cup"?

"reason?"

Li Zheng was startled: "You mean, this kind of thing can make people lose their minds?"

He couldn't believe that passing through the ancient ruins might actually harbor the possibility of losing his mind and going insane.
Why doesn't he feel anything about it at all?

“That’s right!” Zi Shu nodded and said, “Generally speaking, the worst outcome is that the consciousness is destroyed, turning the person into a walking corpse that only knows how to kill.”

"A walking corpse...does it only know how to kill?"

Li Zheng frowned, recalling Xiao Siyuan's reminder not long ago.

He didn't expect that Xiao Siyuan would notice the abnormality in him simply by relying on his intuition as a doctor.

Li Zheng wondered if he hadn't met Zi Shu this time, would he have one day become a walking corpse?
It should be noted that, for reasons he himself is unaware of, he has avoided the worst possible outcome.

However, this malevolent energy still had some impact on him, more or less.

This shows that he was not completely immune, but had only greatly reduced the impact of the evil energy on himself.

Zishu said, "You don't need to be too pessimistic. This condition is not incurable."

In fact, if your mental strength were already strong enough from the start, you wouldn't even be affected by this kind of thing.

Li Zheng quickly asked, "Miss Zishu, do you have a way to help with the treatment?"

Zi Shu smiled slightly: "Of course it can't be cured."

"???"

Li Zheng almost thought there was something wrong with his ears.

We've been talking for so long, and you've explained all the symptoms clearly to me, and you've also said that it's curable.

But tell me, what's the situation if you can't cure it?
Zi Shu got up and went to the front desk to get a metal card, which she placed in front of Li Zheng: "Although we can't cure you, you can go there by following this business card. There are people there who can help you with treatment."

This is a palm-sized, silver-gray card with strange lines drawn on it, which seem to be some kind of writing.

It does indeed look like a business card.

Li Zheng picked up the business card, and the moment the metal card touched his hand, the originally distorted and strange characters changed, eventually turning into square Chinese characters: Doctor.

Below the word "doctor" are the Arabic numerals: 9595995, which should be the channel number the other party is on.

This is a very strange thing.

Because Li Zheng has never seen a channel number starting with 3 on the World Channel.

Even after the channels were split and merged, he never saw a channel that started with the number 2.

However, this "doctor" was on a channel that started with the number 9.

Li Zheng realized that there might have been a terrifyingly large group of players before them.

After putting the business card into his capsule apartment, Li Zheng asked, "So, what is the price I have to pay in exchange?"

This business card is definitely not free. You can't have everything. Li Zheng doesn't think he can get another business card for free to use as a wayfinding tool after he got "Bamboo Leaf Tea" here.

Sure enough, right after he asked that question, Zi Shu gave him a very professional smile: "It's very simple, Mr. Li just needs to help transport one item along the way."

"Transporting goods?" Li Zheng raised an eyebrow slightly.

Such a simple thing, with the other party's abilities, should be easy for them to make a round trip, right?

Why go through the trouble of having players run errands for you?

Zi Shu noticed his confusion and explained, "As you can see, there are only two employees in this shop, my master and I. My master is currently in seclusion, so I'm the only one managing the shop."

If someone else comes into the store while I'm away, it's not allowed by the terminal to leave no one to serve the customer.

Therefore, I must stay in the shop until my master emerges from seclusion.

Li Zheng noticed that when Zi Shu was explaining, her gaze shifted slightly towards the display case.

He immediately understood; the other party was worried that while he was away from the shop, other players would enter and loot all the display items. Thinking about it carefully, this concern wasn't unfounded.

After all, if Zi Shu hadn't shown up, Li Zheng would have already found a way to smash open the display case...

Li Zheng immediately nodded and said, "In that case, I'll take care of this."

If it's something I can take care of on the way, consider it repaying a favor.

Zi Shu said happily, "Then wait here for a moment, I'll go in and get the things out."

After saying that, she got up and went into the room next to the front desk.

A short while later, she came out empty-handed, waved her hand in the hall, and a set of huge pieces of equipment appeared there.

When Li Zheng first saw this equipment, he almost popped his eyes out in surprise.

This is a huge metal bed, nearly five meters long, wide, and high. Dozens of mechanical arms extend out from the bed frame and from the top and bottom, each with a different tool at its tip.

At the head of the bed are two large monitors, one for monitoring the "patient's" vital signs and the other for the doctor's convenience.

This physique is only possible when you meet Li Zheng.

Otherwise, for other ordinary players, that cramped capsule dwelling wouldn't even be as big as it!
Perhaps because of the "goods," Li Zheng was able to see the basic information about the bed.

[Multi-purpose Medical Bed - Enhanced Version]

Rank: Star Glory
Type: Medical/Facility
Description: A medical bed modified by a blacksmith at the doctor's request. Compared to previous medical devices, this medical bed has more functions and better effects!
Note: This equipment is being transported on commission; please deliver it to the target as soon as possible.

Limited time offer: 36 hours
Warning: Failure to deliver on time will incur the wrath of the doctor and blacksmith, and the player will be responsible for the consequences.

warn:……

warn:……】

The three repeated warning messages at the end reminded Li Zheng that this prop could not be lost.

The main point is that you can't keep it to yourself, otherwise the so-called "consequences" could very well be the hostility of the other party, or even retaliation.

After reviewing the attributes, Li Zheng noticed one particular term and looked at Zi Shu in surprise: "Your master wouldn't happen to be the legendary, famous blacksmith, would he?"

“Yes, didn’t I just say that?” Zi Shu blinked.

Li Zheng paused for two seconds: "Or...maybe he already said it..."

Zi Shu was a little embarrassed, but smiled and said, "Let me reintroduce myself. My master is a blacksmith. Our shop undertakes the production of all types of props. As long as you make a request and pay the fee, our shop can help you make the corresponding props and equipment."

Li Zheng remained silent, then pointed to the display cases beside him: "Those things, were they all invented by your master?"

“Not entirely,” Zi Shu shook his head and said, “Those collections can be roughly divided into three parts.”

One part was created by our master, another part by my fellow disciples, and a small portion were inventions by other masters, which our master collected as samples.

"Oh I got it."

Li Zheng nodded, thinking to himself that if the famous blacksmith could invent and make such a vulgar prop as the "Tech Cup," that would be truly ridiculous.

Thinking of this, Li Zheng glanced at the technology cup in the display case a couple more times.

Zi Shu noticed this and introduced it: "This prop is the work of Fifth Senior Brother, and it is called the Technology Cup."

According to Fifth Senior Brother's original intention, he wanted to invent a device that could be installed on weapons to enhance their destructive power through vibration resonance.

However, the experiment went wrong, and the master used it as a scrap specimen to warn his fifth senior brother.

Li Zheng: "..."

If Zi Shu hadn't explained, it would have been fine, but with this explanation, Li Zheng suddenly felt there were so many things to complain about.

Was the fifth senior brother's initial idea really that serious?
Ms. Purple Tree, have you been scammed?!
