Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 212 Modification, Evolution!

Chapter 212 Modification, Evolution! (Two-in-One)

When Zhan Zhouzhou came out of the blacksmith's shop, she had a new collar around her fair neck.

The necklace is silver-white with a subtle sheen, outlining intricate patterns that resemble the designs on an integrated circuit.

Although it has a metallic texture, it looks thin and soft, perfectly fitting Zhan Zhouzhou's fair skin and making her neck appear even longer and thinner.

【overweight

Rank: None
Type: Special Accessories

Description: Products made by blacksmiths are guaranteed to be of the highest quality.

There are many buyers who reverse gravity, but this is the first time the blacksmith has seen someone actively request to increase gravity.

To thank the person who provided the idea, the blacksmith generously waived the payment they were owed and even contributed a considerable amount of valuable materials himself.

Function: To adjust the weight within a one-meter radius of the wearer.

The initial value is 1, the minimum adjustment is 1.1 times, and the maximum adjustment is 10 times.

Current gravity adjustment: 1.5 times.

Energy: 99.98%
Note: Only accepts power cores of Platinum tier and above for charging. (Including Platinum tier)
Old Pu: The most outrageous thing about this thing is that it can be upgraded!

Theoretically, there is no upper limit to its gravity adjustment range, provided you can find the appropriate materials.

As the provider of the Eye of Prey, Li Zheng could see through the attributes of the items on his body, which didn't surprise Zhan Zhouzhou at all.
"Next time you come across a blacksmith shop, I suggest you have one made; it will be of great benefit to your martial arts training."

Li Zheng felt that this girl truly deserved to be called a martial arts genius; her way of thinking was incomparable.

He was only thinking about upgrading weapons at the blacksmith shop.

Liu Jiale, on the other hand, thought of creating an item that could increase the speed at which mastery was acquired.

When it came to Zhan Zhouzhou, she actually thought of altering gravity...

He felt it wasn't his fault for not coming up with these ideas before the other two.

The reason why the three had different ideas was that they had different understandings of martial arts.

Secondly, it's also because Li Zheng's weaponry is indeed lagging behind.

"Let's forget about it." Li Zheng thought about it carefully for a while, then shook his head and said, "The materials required for this item are definitely higher than diamond-grade. I don't know when I'll be able to gather them all."

Moreover, "overweight" is clearly more suitable for players who specialize in a single martial art.

Li Zheng pondered that it wouldn't be too late to decide whether to get one after obtaining the "Fighter" item.

"Suit yourself," Zhan Zhouzhou said calmly. "I have two more explorations to go, I'll be going now."

Turning around, she chose the metal door where the "Black Mountain Bear" was located, and read her ID card to open the door.

Before leaving, she turned back and said, "I'll be doing a live stream tonight. You can watch if you're interested."

"Starting a live stream?" Li Zheng asked curiously, "You're not planning to teach swordsmanship to others via live stream, are you?"

"Yes, but don't worry, I'll only teach that set of performance sword techniques."

Although the Zhan family's performance swordsmanship is not as good as the core set, it is still quite good. If an ordinary person learns it thoroughly, they can apply it to actual combat.

After all, the swordplay performance itself is derived from the core swordplay of the Zhan family, and it contains some of the form and spirit of the technique.

"That's good, otherwise I would have lost a lot in the deal I made with you." Li Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. After all, he had barely managed to trade for the Zhan family sword technique by using an old Puzi body.

It's only been a few days, and Zhan Zhouzhou is already teaching on a large scale through live streaming. Wouldn't I be losing out big time?

"Actually, it's not necessarily true." Zhan Zhouzhou said after careful consideration, "If I come across a promising talent, I might take on a couple of apprentices for fun."

"Is it reliable?" Li Zheng said, "What if the core of the sword technique is leaked out?"

Oral information is not protected by the matrix terminal's protocol, unless Zhan Zhouzhou's so-called apprenticeship is just giving someone a "sword manual".

Otherwise, the risk of the Zhan family sword technique being leaked is still very high.

Zhan Zhouzhou must have thought of this as well, as he said with a thoughtful expression, "Let's talk about it later. Right now, it's just a thought, and we may not be able to find any good prospects."

After all, sixteen is already past the prime time for martial arts training; the chances are slim.

"Alright then." Seeing that the other party was also seriously considering it, Li Zheng didn't say anything more: "Let me know when you go live tonight, I'll support you."

Zhan Zhouzhou nodded: "Let's go."

Watching the other party pass through the light barrier and leave, Li Zheng sighed helplessly, "This girl really doesn't know how to lose out; she chose the most valuable door."

The Black Mountain Bear is a Platinum-level creature, and this is the most valuable of the remaining metal doors in this room.

Less than five minutes after Zhan Zhouzhou left, Xiao Siyuan finally came out of the blacksmith shop.

Similarly, the information about the props he created was already exposed to Li Zheng the moment he obtained it.

The Benevolence of a Healer

Rank: None
Type: Medical Equipment

Description: An enhanced version of the human body modification platform, capable of modifying human bodies; the modification level depends on the grade of the blueprint.

Initially equipped with: eye modifications, limb modifications, heart modifications, and kidney modifications.

Energy: 100%
Note: Using this device to modify others requires medical expertise.

Note: This device only accepts power cores of Platinum level or higher (including Platinum level).

"Wait, I'll go get her."

Li Zheng entered the residence, found the thin figure sitting by the universal medical bed, and went over to help her up.

"Are you ready to see the light again?" Li Zheng asked with a smile.

"Ok!"

Lin Fengjiao's expression was hidden under layers of bandages, and her voice was barely audible, but Li Zheng could still hear the excitement in it.

Li Zheng led her outside: "Haha, after your eyes are repaired, your vision might be even better than before."

"I'll be satisfied as long as my eyesight is restored," Lin Fengjiao said softly.

Actually, what she really wanted was to avoid becoming a burden to others.

Because she is blind, Xiao Siyuan has been staying by her side every step of the way these past two days, helping her walk wherever she goes.

This made her feel guilty, as she felt she had held others back and hindered their exploration.

“That’s not enough.” Li Zheng encouraged her, “The three of us will work together to try to heal the other injuries on your body as well, so you won’t have to wear these bandages anymore.”

In fact, apart from being blind in both eyes, deaf in one ear, and having damaged vocal cords, all of Lin Fengjiao's other external injuries have healed.

However, because a large area of her skin was corroded by acidic substances, leaving ugly scars, Xiao Siyuan wrapped her in bandages.

This was also to take care of her feelings.

Lin Fengjiao was moved: "Thank you."

Bang!
Bang!
Li Zheng led her out of the residence, and the two capsule residences switched places, with Xiao Siyuan's capsule landing on the ground.

"come in."

Xiao Siyuan opened the door and led the two inside.

As soon as he entered, Li Zheng saw the renovation platform that occupied nearly five square meters. He helped Lin Fengjiao over and made her lie down.

Xiao Siyuan changed into a white coat, found some disinfectant and sprayed it everywhere, then chased Li Zheng out.

"Damn it, Lao Xiao, what do you mean by this?" Li Zheng stood at the door, glaring angrily.

Xiao Siyuan calmly sprayed disinfectant, glancing at him: "It's for your own good, don't look."

"you……!"

Li Zheng was about to angrily accuse someone when he suddenly remembered something and quickly took a deep breath to calm himself down.

That's right, it was the right thing for Lao Xiao to do was to kick himself out.

Otherwise, when Lin Fengjiao is being reformed later, if he sees the other injuries on her body, his violent temper might be stirred up again.

"Wait outside," Old Xiao said, and was about to close the door.

Li Zheng quickly pulled a purple sphere from his residence and tossed it through the crack in the still-open door: "Change her to this!"

Snapped.

The door is closed.

Li Zheng overheard Xiao Siyuan's last half-sentence outside: "So willing to part with it..."

Yes, the purple sphere that Li Zheng threw in at the end was the "Ancient Eye" that he had opened from the diamond-level treasure chest.

The ancient eyeball is a diamond-grade bionic organ. Li Zheng doesn't know if this eyeball, which may be related to ancient technology, has anything special about it, and there's only one of them.

Since I wasn't considering modifying my body anyway, and someone needed it, I decided to put it on them.

Li Zheng has never been a stingy person. Since he has decided to help Lin Fengjiao, he will give her the best!

As for the cost? He hadn't thought that far ahead.

Li Zheng sat on the ground outside, quietly waiting for the surgery to end.

Not far away, Sakura and Pink Poring were playing together in the seawater.

The two little ones splashed seawater at each other, laughing happily, just like two silly goosebumps.

Every now and then, Sakura would unconsciously take a bite of the earth dragon crystal core, and then her expression would contort from the slight seawater on the crystal core.

In order to have a delicious meal tonight, Sakura is desperately gnawing on the earth dragon's crystal core; it's almost become an instinct.

Click click click~

Li Zheng then noticed that the little guy had almost finished eating the earth dragon crystal core in his hand, with only two bites left.

Click click click~

"Ow?"

After finishing the last two bites, Sakura bit into empty air, staring blankly at her empty hand for a while.

Then it realized what was happening, became excited, and plunged headfirst into the sea.

This is a period of dormancy that it will inevitably go through when it undergoes a mutation or upgrades its rank.

"Polly~"

Pink Poli curiously watched Sakura sink to the bottom of the water. Seeing that it wasn't playing with him, it immediately transformed into a muscle monster and dragged Sakura to the shore.

As soon as it left the water, a dazzling yellowish-brown light burst forth from Sakura's body, directly pushing away the Pink Poring that had been wrapped around its leg.

"Polly?"

Pink Polly involuntarily bounced out and landed not far away, watching Sakura.

The light spread throughout Sakura's body, forming a cocoon of light that completely enveloped her.

As Sakura was engulfed by the light, a system notification popped up.

[Sakura, a Pokémon character, consumes an "Earth Dragon Crystal Core" and gains a random "Earth Dragon" ability.]

[Sakura gains the Diamond-level ability "Earth Prism Piercing".]

[Sakura's rank increases by one after consuming an "Earth Dragon Crystal Core".]

[Pokémon Sakura has advanced to Gold rank; current rank: Gold Rank Boss.]

[Sakura, a pet, eats an "earth dragon crystal core" and undergoes a strange transformation...]

[The Sakura incident has ended...]

This time, Sakura's improvement lasted for half an hour before it ended.

During this time, Li Zheng and Pink Polly watched as the light cocoon enveloping Sakura grew from half a meter to a meter, and its size also increased a bit.

"Ouch~"

The light cocoon burst open, and Sakura jumped up, spread her wings, and roared to the sky.

"Polly~"

When Pink Poring saw it come out, it jumped over with great joy and wrapped itself around Sakura's legs again, its two muscular fists moving in a variety of bodybuilding motions.

Before Sakura's transformation, even if Pink Poring stretched itself out, it was still much taller than her.

Now, Sakura's height has doubled, while Pink Polly has to stretch itself to reach her eye level.

"Ouch!"

Xiaoying turned to Li Zheng, her face beaming with smugness.

To enjoy the delicious food, it hasn't stopped chewing all day; its cheeks are sore from chewing.

Li Zheng laughed and said, "What are you so smug about? You could have been full from one dish before, but now your appetite has doubled. Will you still be able to eat your fill tonight?"

Sakura: Σ(゜゜)
Eh?
Yes!

Did I fall for a scam?

Oh no, I'm going to go to bed hungry tonight...

"This little glutton." Li Zheng chuckled inwardly, opening Sakura's ability panel to check her newly acquired abilities.

Ground ridge puncture

Grade: Diamond

Type: Element Simulation

Description: Gathers a large amount of earth elemental energy, creating ground spikes in the target area, which can temporarily alter the terrain.

Number of ground ridges: 2
Cost: 10 Force/root

"Can it change the terrain?" Li Zheng looked at the description and felt like he had seen a similar ability somewhere before.

I thought about it, but I couldn't figure it out.

Lin Fengjiao's transformation wouldn't be over anytime soon, so he got up and went to Xiaoying: "Don't worry, I wouldn't let you go hungry, would I?"

"Ouch?"

Sakura rolled her eyes and recalled that she had never gone hungry since she started following her master.

The little guy immediately perked up again: "Awoo!"

Seeing it happy, Pink Polly was happy too, wiggling around and calling out, "Poliri~"

Li Zheng clapped his hands and said, "Alright, it's not dinner time yet, what are you showing off for?"

Let's try out the new ability first and see how powerful it is.

"Ow!"

The power of delicious food is boundless. Sakura was full of energy at this moment. Li Zheng would even let her take on the Platinum Monster alone.

Pointing to the distant sea, Li Zheng ordered, "Xiao Ying, place the ground spikes over there!"

"Ouch!"

Sakura flew off the ground, flapping in mid-air, staring at the area Li Zheng had designated.

next moment.

boom! boom!
Blah blah blah!

Two black stone pillars, each two meters in diameter and with sharp tips, pierced through the sea surface with a roar, splashing seawater and forming a small wave that crashed onto the barren island.

Looking at the two stone pillars protruding from the sea, Li Zheng finally remembered where he had seen a similar ability before.

"If this thing were replaced with ice, wouldn't it just be the Ice Spikes attack from the leader of the Ice Giants?"

Aside from being fewer in number, their power is not much weaker!
Back then, if the giant leader hadn't used that move to change the terrain, I wouldn't have been so badly injured later.

The more Li Zheng thought about it, the more heartbroken he became. Suddenly, he thought, "If only I could go back."

The Ice Giant leader is roughly a weaker Diamond-level character. If I develop for a few more days, I should be able to take it on one-on-one.

If he could turn back inside the matrix, he would want to go and cause trouble for the leader of the Ice Giants.

"The materials decomposed from a creature that starts with diamonds will definitely not be too bad."

In fact, there were not only the leader of the Rock Ice Giants in that room, but also dozens of ordinary Rock Ice Giants, which were at least Platinum-level creatures.

If they wiped out the whole operation, the income would be staggering.

Just as Li Zheng was reminiscing about the past, the door to the capsule apartment clicked open.

Xiao Siyuan led Lin Fengjiao, who had already been transformed, out.

Li Zheng didn't even need to turn around to know the nature of the other person's eyes.
