Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 225 The most hateful thing is actually the source of the avalanche!
"Well done!"

Li Zheng lowered his altitude and landed on the ground.

At this moment, Sakura had dissipated her ability to pierce the earth's edge, and the Tyrant Sunset Shrimp lost its support and fell to the ground.

The battle lasted only ten minutes from start to finish.

The battle ended so quickly, which was beyond Li Zheng's expectations.

He deliberately concealed the weakness of the Sunset Shrimp in order to test Sakura, but it actually keenly sensed and discovered the weakness in a very short time.

This further convinced Li Zheng that Sakura's combat talent was indeed very high.

If we don't train properly, wouldn't it be a waste?

"Awoo~" Sakura, pleased with the praise, stretched her head in front of Lee, begging for a pat.

This action startled Li Zheng slightly.

"Ugh." Sakura shook her head, a hint of anticipation in her eyes.

Li Zheng then realized that since Xiao Ying entered her growth period and left the pocket, he had never touched her head like he did when she was a puppy.

Li Zheng raised his hand and gently rubbed its head, saying with a smile, "Unbeknownst to me, Xiaoying has become so strong, capable of standing on her own. That's great!"

As before, he praised Sakura in a tone that was used to coax a child.

This made the little guy cheer and jump for joy, swinging his pink polka doll into the sky.

Li Zheng shook his head, ignored it, and began to dismantle the spoils.

Disassembling the Overlord Sunset Shrimp yields: 40 Fresh Delicious Shrimp Meat and 45 Super-Limited Shell.

"Only meat and shells. What are these shells even for?" Li Zheng wondered, as he had never obtained any blueprints that could utilize these materials.

"Let's keep the platinum-grade materials for now. We won't put them in the trading hall this time, since no one will trade them anyway."

Some of the gold-grade items that were previously listed in the trading hall have sold.

The platinum-level ones are simply unaffordable for most people.

After all, what he wants are power cores and blood materials, and at this stage, there are very few players who can provide these things.

Thanks to the "blessing" of the god-like Chizuru, everything Li Zheng sold, below the gold grade, was snapped up.

This includes ordinary clothing that is not well-received, as well as some useless luxury items.

I did acquire a batch of materials ranging from black iron to silver, but unfortunately, they were almost all blood-related materials, and in small quantities.

We couldn't even gather a few bottles of silver-grade potions.

There were very few of the various power cores, and Li Zheng didn't even bother to count them.

"It seems I've stumbled upon a way to make money?" Li Zheng even wondered if he could hire someone to smear him and stir up more hatred in the future.
Those who come to criticize us should all go to the trading hall to trade first.

Anyone who dares to start cursing without paying will have their name written down, and we'll go to their homes one by one and teach them a lesson.

Honestly, if they don't give me any benefits, why should I put up with that jerk?

They're not like those novelists who start cursing readers without even giving them a free ticket.

The author also has to risk being called a comment control dog, shamelessly deleting comments.

Why should I? Right?
"Never mind, being scolded will only make me feel bad in the end."

Shaking his head to clear the strange thought from his mind, he called out to Sakura, took out a business card, and continued in the direction indicated.

Behind the door lies a frozen wasteland with temperatures as low as -20 degrees Celsius. Remain quiet when entering, as this could easily trigger an avalanche.

Oh, you can all fly...

That's fine.

Oh, and by the way, you can collect snow here, but each player can only collect five liters of snow at a time.

It needs to be purified before drinking.

"Only snow? No other good stuff?" Li Zheng stood at the door for a while but didn't see any more information, so he had to accept it.

To Li Zheng, this room was no different from an empty room; it had almost no value.

Swipe your card and enter.

The scene before my eyes suddenly changed, and the temperature plummeted.

This time, Li Zheng didn't use the "extreme isolation" ability in advance, because he wanted to test his current cold resistance.

"It seems... alright?"

Standing still wasn't as unbearable as I had imagined, and my improved physical condition even led to a noticeable change in my cold tolerance.

After looking around, Li Zheng realized that this was actually a room on a hillside.

The door is located halfway up the mountain, seemingly suspended in mid-air. Looking around the door, the terrain becomes increasingly flat and low.

Heavy snow was falling from the sky, and the snow on the hillside was already quite deep. There was a small platform at the entrance, only big enough for one person to stand on.

Snowflakes disappear automatically upon landing on the platform, ensuring it won't be buried by heavy snow. "That's interesting; this terrain seems designed specifically to create avalanches."

Li Zheng felt that this place might not be considered an environmentally friendly house, but rather a "disaster" house.

"I wonder if there are any rooms that might be dangerous, such as those posing a risk of volcanic eruption, earthquake, tsunami, flood, or mudslide?"

To be honest, Li Zheng really wanted to experience all of them.

After all, on Earth, watching 3D movies or using VR glasses simply cannot provide a direct experience of this kind of scene.

However, within the Matrix, players have numerous methods, and Li Zheng even possesses a flying vehicle, allowing him to personally observe from an "aerial" perspective.

"Let's try getting some snow first."

They took out a large pot, filled it to the brim—definitely more than five liters—and successfully stored it in the capsule dwelling.

The next second, the system notified me that I had obtained [Snow 5L].

When I took the pot out, I found that about half of the snow inside had disappeared.

Afterwards, he released the capsule dwelling and personally led it in through the door, but it still ended in failure.

"Damn it, the extra snow just disappears as soon as it's brought into the capsule dwelling. That's way too meticulous!"

I was going to pour the snow from the pot into the bathtub, but I hesitated and didn't do it.

Insert your finger, activate the fire-type attachment, and after twenty seconds you will obtain five liters of "not-so-clean water".

To create a new water purifier, five black iron-grade dynamic cores were used, yielding five liters of water purified from snow.

"I don't feel guilty drinking this purified water. In the future, I can find more snow-covered rooms and purify some water when we run out. This will save me from having to trade purified water with others and pay a premium instead."

In fact, the trading prices of the three types of water in the trading hall have stabilized after a period of fluctuation.

The ratio of wastewater to purified water to pure water has stabilized at 1.5:1.1:1.

Only when trading purified water will you occasionally see some outrageous prices.

After all, not everyone can accept urine-purified water.

For example, Li Zheng has always drunk purified water, and last time he was willing to exchange 10 liters for 8 liters.

After storing the water separately, Li Zheng put away the capsule dwelling and flew into the sky with Xiaoying.

Then, he witnessed his first avalanche.

The noise from the aircraft successfully triggered an avalanche, causing the snow surface on the hillside to cave in and break, which then triggered a chain reaction that caused snow accumulation at higher points.

Finally, the heavy snow poured down the hillside with a thunderous roar, covering the entire area.

The rolling snow collided with some thicker layers of ice and snow, and after being briefly blocked, it bounced into the air, forming a "smoky waterfall" composed of ice and snow.

Li Zheng climbed higher and higher until he reached a height where the avalanche could no longer affect him.

Looking down at the white-gray torrent churning and surging beneath my feet, it engulfed the door that had been there with an overwhelming momentum.

Li Zheng exclaimed in amazement, "That's fucking spectacular!"

This destructive power is far greater than that of ordinary genetic abilities.

Li Zheng had no doubt that if he dared to face an avalanche, even with his silver-level physique, he would die without a burial place.

"No, I must find other similar disaster-prone houses and experience all kinds of disasters!"

Isn't this more exciting than VR glasses?

As the icy torrent gradually receded, Li Zheng was satisfied and prepared to leave.

Suddenly, out of the corner of my eye, I noticed a small vacuum area where the metal door was located.

"Isn't that the platform by the entrance?"

The vacuum region seemed to be blocked by an invisible medium, and the torrents of ice and snow clearly demarcated themselves when passing through it.

The previous icy torrent was so fierce that it completely submerged the door, causing Li Zheng to miss it.

It was only when the avalanche gradually subsided that it became apparent.

Li Zheng felt quite regretful: "If I had known, I wouldn't have dodged it."

Unwilling to miss the first-person perspective experience, Li Zheng went to the other doors and tried to trigger another avalanche.

result……

The avalanches in those directions have just subsided, and there is no chance of another avalanche in the near future.

"So angry!"

He sullenly pulled out his business card and pointed it at the door where Li Zheng was standing, probing it as he went.

Behind the door grow two wild *Astragalus membranaceus* plants, a non-genetically modified variety. Although they taste better, they have a long maturation period, produce few fruits, and are therefore of low value.
