Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 220 A wonderful day begins with the daily treasure chest.

[Daily treasure chests are being drawn, quality is random...]

[Draw successful! Today's treasure chest quality: Gold. Claim now?]

"Fortunately, it's a gold-quality treasure chest, just the right level." Li Zheng was very satisfied with today's treasure chest and immediately gave the order.

"Extract!"

Boom!
A gleaming golden treasure chest lay beside the bed, within easy reach. He opened the lid and scooped inside.

[Received: A plain sewing table crafting blueprint +1]

[Received: Basic Laser Repair Instrument Crafting Diagram +1]

Congratulations! The treasure chest has triggered a critical hit, granting you: Memory Releaser (Blank) +1

Congratulations! The treasure chest has triggered a critical hit, granting you: +1 Raise.

[Gained: Abyssal Serotonin +1]

[Received: 800g of titanium-air alloy]

"Two critical hits..."

The treasure chest triggered another critical hit, and before Li Zheng could even feel happy, the voice rang in his ears again.

[A certain number of treasure chests have been drawn, unlocking a new feature: Delayed Extraction]

[Delayed Extraction: If you are not satisfied with the quality of today's treasure chest, you can postpone extraction until the next day and choose to upgrade or reduce the quality of the original treasure chest by one tier.]

……

Li Zheng waited for thirty seconds to make sure there was no other content before he began to consider the newly enabled features.

"Delayed extraction, this feature seems a bit useless..."

The Black Iron Chest is delayed until the next day; will I get a Bronze Chest instead?
Is there a difference between these two qualities?
No difference!
In Li Zheng's eyes, they were all trash.

The Diamond Chest event has been extended to the next day. Want to draw an extraordinary item?
Is there a difference between these two qualities?
No difference!
I have the blueprints, but no materials to make them...

"However, if used properly, the function of lowering the level by one can be of some use."

Although Li Zheng has never seen a treasure chest of diamond quality or higher, it doesn't stop him from fantasizing about one day drawing a superb treasure chest, then not taking it, and waiting for it to drop to diamond quality before taking it out.

"Hey. I don't want the Extraordinary Chest, I just want the Diamonds. Hey, I'm just playing around..."

Muttering to himself, Li Zheng retrieved the two blueprints he had drawn that day and the so-called Lei Su.

A simple sewing table making diagram
Rank: Gold

Type: One-time drawing

Description: Consumes the corresponding materials upon use to craft a sewing table.

制作所需材料：动力核心Ⅳ型*2、奥利哈刚1000g、科技核心*2、动力齿轮*4、基础模块*20、高级零部件*15、铁锭*10、铜锭*10】

"A sewing table?" Li Zheng was a little confused.

For clothing-type protective gear, can't you just craft it directly?
Is the sewing table a bit of an unnecessary addition?

"Or is it that the sewing table can add some extra effects to the clothing on top of the hand-made props?" Li Zheng guessed.

Just like the culture medium obtained before, the finished product made by hand has a lot of loss, suggesting that making it on a pharmaceutical table can increase the yield.

Perhaps the function of a sewing table is similar?
Li was interested in making it and trying it out, but he was missing the "power gear" material. He searched the trading hall but couldn't find the item.

"Let it go first."

He threw the sewing table pattern back and picked up another one to examine.

[Basic Laser Restoration Instrument Fabrication Diagram]
Rank: Gold

Type: One-time drawing

Description: Consumes the corresponding materials upon use to create a basic model laser repair device.

制作所需材料：动力核心Ⅳ型*5、镭光转换器*1、聚束仪*1、中级模块*30、奥利哈刚1000g、铁锭*50、铜锭*50、零部件*15
Old Pu: Let me offer you a toast. Haven't you always been curious about what those damaged power cores can do?

You'll understand once you figure this thing out.

Moreover, its function is not limited to repairing damaged power cores; it has many other benefits as well.

I've done it, you can do whatever you want~

"..."

What the hell are you...

Don't do these weird things in front of me, hey!

And what's with your accent?

Are you drunk?
……

Gan!
You're just something that exists in my ability panel, stop making such a big deal out of yourself, okay?!

Li Zheng was speechless. He switched search keywords and looked for two materials he had never heard of before.

"That's strange, why can't I find some of the materials for two consecutive drawings?"

Li Zheng shut down the trading hall, threw the blueprints back into the pile of props, and fell into deep thought.

If each channel produces certain materials, with so many players worldwide and experts in every channel, surely the trading hall wouldn't be completely devoid of them?
“Or rather…” Li Zheng thought of a possibility, speechless as he looked up at the ceiling.

"Could it be a special material dropped from a dungeon?"

If that's the case, then that would be a huge rip-off!

It's just a gold-level blueprint, why make it so complicated? As the level gets higher and higher, won't it be a nightmare?

"No, no, there's another possibility!" Li Zheng thought for a moment and became even more frustrated, because the remaining way to obtain it was even more of a rip-off than running a dungeon.

"We can't possibly have to go to the outer city to get it, can we?"

When will we ever get it?

He hasn't even seen a glimpse of the outer city yet, and he only got the name from Romain Rolland.

"Oh, I feel tired."

Shaking his head to stop thinking about it, Li Zheng looked at the remaining bottle of silvery-white liquid that crackled and sparked with electricity. [Lei Su]

Grade: Diamond

Type: special props

Description: A special item produced deep in the clouds of Leizhou. It is of low quality and produced in very small quantities.

Effect: After drinking, it can be used to upgrade one gene ability of the same attribute to Diamond level.

Old Pu: Let me raise another glass. This stuff is really good. I suggest you think carefully about which type of gene ability to enhance.

Some genetic abilities can last a lifetime.

Hiccup~
Cheers! You can do it!

"..."

are you crazy!

Those last five words aren't meant to be used at banquets or dinner tables!

What the hell are you...

Li Zheng felt like he had eaten a lump of "Oli Gei" (a popular Chinese food snack), and was extremely uncomfortable.

Look at all the mess we've made all night!

One attack after another, another false accusation, and now even Old Putin is making things worse for him.

"If you weren't a physical being, I'd want to throw you down the toilet, drown you, and flush you down the compost!" Li Zheng muttered angrily.

At this moment, Sakura finally finished her bath and came out carrying the pink Poring that had turned into a brush.

Li Zheng glanced over and was about to urge the two of them to go and rest when he saw them in this state.

He was both amused and exasperated: "You, you bring a back scrubber with you when you take a bath, you know how to enjoy yourself more than I do."

However, Pink Polly's size looks a bit awkward, doesn't it?
Li Zheng examined it carefully for a while, confirming that the other party's size had increased by nearly a quarter, and complained, "Damn, did Pink Poring absorb Sakura's bathwater?"

How come they get dirtier and dirtier the more they play?
"Aww." Sakura waved the Pink Poring brush in her hand, meaning that if Li Zheng wanted to use it, she could lend him the Pink Poring.

"Polly!"

Pink Poring swelled into a sphere, vehemently protesting Sakura's betrayal.

"Ow!"

"Polly!"

"Ow!"

"Polly~"

The two children stood at the bathroom door, arguing back and forth.

Pink Polly believes that she follows Sakura and that Sakura's act of lending her out is disrespectful to her.

Sakura, on the other hand, believes that what is hers belongs to Li Zheng, and that Pink Poli is both hers and Li Zheng's.

Pink Poring retorted again, and Sakura retorted again...

Li Zheng threw a shoe at him irritably and yelled, "Go to sleep!"

These two guys, even if they're arguing, can't they at least ask for their own opinions first?

Who, besides Sakura, would dare to use the brush that Pink Poring transforms into?
If it's in a bad mood and becomes a little sharp, a single swipe of its brush can cost more than just a few ounces of flesh.

"Polly~"

"Ow~"

Sakura took Pink Polly to her sleeping place, bickering quietly along the way.

When they arrived at their destination, Sakura was dumbfounded.

Its body size has increased several times, and even though Li Zheng has supplemented its diet with some fiber, it's no longer enough for it to lie down in.

"Po-Po-Po-Ring!"

Pink Polly stretched itself out as far as it could, spreading out on the ground, and soon became a huge disc shape.

Its soft body is like jelly, yet inside it ripples with water, bouncing around.

"Ow?"

"Polili".

After a brief exchange, Sakura tentatively climbed up and found that her weight was nothing to Pink Poring. She happily lay down on Pink Poring's body and stretched out her limbs.

From a macro perspective, Sakura looks like a small boat drifting on the water, enjoying herself immensely.

Close your eyes and look relaxed.

Pink Polly also separated a portion of itself, which transformed into a fan and gently fanned itself.

Immediately, Sakura's expression became even more serene.

"Gan!"

Li Zheng was envious.

Owners don't even get the same treatment as their pets!
It's totally unfair.

Frustrated, Li Zheng retrieved the "Memory Releaser (Blank)" to check its properties.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up slightly.

I glanced at the world chat and saw that, because of the pop-up notifications, there were still a lot of people cursing him.

"Go ahead and curse. The more fiercely you curse now, the harder you'll be slapped in the face later."

Li Zheng smiled and closed his eyes to rest.

He already had a plan for dealing with Chizuru Kamishiro; once the doctor finished treating him, it would be time to launch a counterattack.
