Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 24 Daily Persecution of Xiaofeng
With a gulp, a piece was missing from the petals of the rock-icy, fiery flower.

Li Zheng chewed with gritted teeth, his mouth full of juice.

"Although it is a flower, it tastes like fresh meat, soft and sticky, and it is really hard to swallow."

Li Zheng chewed on the rock ice-like fire for a long time before finally swallowing it.

"what?"

As the ice-cold flames traveled down his esophagus to his stomach, Li Zheng suddenly let out a surprised exclamation.

"Why doesn't this make me feel full at all after eating it?"

"Are you not eating enough?"

Try another bite.

Huffing and puffing.

Another large bite of petals was taken, and this time Li Zheng swallowed it without even chewing it much.

"It's as if this thing was digested the instant it entered my stomach..."

Li Zheng stared at the head-sized red flower and was speechless.

To empty his stomach, he didn't drink a drop of water during the four-hour treatment, fearing he wouldn't be able to finish such a large piece of rock ice and fire in one meal.

Now, Yan Bingruohuo is digesting things extremely quickly, which makes him feel like he's lost out.

"I was hoping to skip a meal, but now I can't..."

Thinking this, Li Zheng kept chewing and swallowing.

What he thought would take at least half an hour to finish was devoured in just fifteen minutes.

Even the roots and stems attached to the flowers were completely eaten.

"Hiccup~"

Even though he didn't feel full at all, Li Zheng still gave a token burp.

After savoring the taste, Li Zheng felt he could eat some more ginseng flowers to fill his stomach.

Just as he was about to retrieve the food from his capsule, a pillar of fire mixed with icy blue chill rose from beneath his feet, instantly enveloping him.

"Liejiri!"

The sudden flames startled Li Zheng, but when he came to his senses, he didn't feel any heat at all; instead, he felt warm all over.

[Genetic capabilities under development...]

【Progress 0.1%】

[0.2%]

A system notification appeared before Li Zheng's eyes, and he then realized that the pillar of fire was caused by his consumption of the Rock Ice Fire.

"..."

"It's quite comfortable..."

Li Zheng squinted, enjoying the moment, and almost fell asleep.

“Boo, boo!”

Sakura watched helplessly as Li Zheng was engulfed by the pillar of fire, and the ground was quickly scorched black by the intense heat of the fire.

A flash of icy blue appeared on the charred surface, instantly covering it with another layer of ice.

It is both hot and cold.

This strangely contradictory phenomenon can only occur in matrix survival games.

The high temperature was accompanied by a severe cold. Although it wouldn't harm Li Zheng, Xiao Ying couldn't withstand the torment. She flapped her little wings, flew to a corner of the room, and shouted urgently to Li Zheng.

“Boo, boo!”

Sakura didn't understand why things had suddenly turned out this way. She thought Li Zheng had been attacked by something again and tried to call out to him to come out of the pillar of fire quickly.

Li Zheng could hear the concern, anxiety, and a hint of pain in Sakura's voice, and immediately understood that the fire pillar would harm Sakura.

He quickly took out the capsule, squeezed it, and threw it far away.

Bang!
The capsule dwelling appeared and landed on the ground.

"Sakura, you go inside and hide first, I'm fine!"

The capsule dwelling was thrown far away by Li Zheng, and it was insulated by walls, so the high temperature should not be able to penetrate it. It was safer for Xiaoying to hide inside than to stay in the room.

Sakura immediately understood what Li Zheng meant. She had seen how Li Zheng opened the capsule dwelling door last night, activated his ability "Fast Flight," and went to the capsule dwelling to open the door and go in.

"嘤嘤!"

Before closing the door, Sakura called out to Li Zheng, telling him that she had hidden herself.

Suddenly a wave of heat hit, startling it so much that it immediately closed the door.

"Fortunately, it seems that pets can also open players' capsule residences."

Li Zheng was completely relieved and patiently waited for the gene development to reach its full progress.

……

[30.1%]

……

[31.2%]

……

"This... is a bit slow..."

Looking at the time, ten minutes have passed, which means that only about 3% of the progress is being made per minute.

"This is tough, I still have eight rooms to explore today..."

[32.3%]

"..."

"Even a snail can run faster than you, damn it!"

[32.9%]

"...That stamina, I'm actually getting a little envious." [33.4%]

"No, I can't keep watching the progress. It's making me sore that I need to pee. It's as bad as Bi Dao's 'Dream Chasing in the Entertainment Industry'."

After pondering for a moment, Li Zheng, feeling utterly bored, opened his private chat again, unblocked Feng Shan from his blacklist, and sent him a message.

"How long did it take you to awaken your genes yesterday?"

I don't know what Fengshan is doing; they haven't replied to my messages for a long time.

Li Zheng found it strange and opened the regional channel. He saw that Feng Shan was chatting with someone else just moments before he sent the private message.

Are you there?

Are you there?

Are you there?

After sending three private messages in a row, Fengshan finally replied.

"Fifty snake grass needles in exchange for this intelligence."

"and many more!"

"You're starting to awaken?"

"You still have Flame Flower?"

"No, the Flame Flower's effect only lasts for half an hour..."

"You...you actually obtained another tool for gene development?"

"Fuck!"

"You have a damn dog face, don't you?"

"No way! The price has changed. One hundred snake needles for intelligence!"

As always, Fengshan remained aloof and arrogant when being fawned over on the regional channel.

In private chats with Li Zheng, he was just an ordinary netizen, even his messaging style was exactly the same as that of an ordinary netizen, he liked to send messages one by one.

Are you stupid (beep...)?

“I have already begun developing my genetic abilities,”

"That's why I asked you that question,"

Even if you don't tell me,

"Wait until I finish developing the project,"

"Don't I already know that myself?"

Following Fengshan's example, Li Zheng deliberately broke down a sentence into smaller parts and sent them out one by one.

"Fuck!"

"You're right!"

"Then this intelligence is worthless to you?"

"Damn it! I hope your awakening fails and the probability of triggering side effects is maxed out!"

Fengshan was filled with resentment when his plan to swindle Li Zheng fell through.

The next moment, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

"That bastard must have gotten bored because the awakening process took too long, so he removed me from the blacklist. He probably just wants to find someone to chat with."

No!

We can't let him succeed!
I'm going to get my revenge!
Once Fengshan understood this, his mood suddenly brightened, and he began editing the message with anticipation in his eyes.

To prevent Li Zheng from seeing through his intentions, he changed his usual practice and edited the entire long message before sending it out.

"Haha, you surnamed Li, you probably didn't expect that I, your grandpa, had already guessed your intentions! You must have just started awakening your genetic abilities and were getting bored after a while, so you came to me to chat and relieve your boredom. Now I'm going to put you on my blacklist and let you taste this feeling too! Just wait and see for the next fifteen minutes! Goodbye!"

Send, click on Li Zheng's profile picture, add him to the blacklist, set a 12-hour timer, and confirm!

After completing a combo, Feng Shan felt refreshed and incredibly happy.

"Hahahaha... You surnamed Li, you've finally met your match..."

"???"

"Platinum... Platinum level!???"

Fengshan's eyes widened instantly as he looked at the two messages Li Zheng quickly sent while he was managing the blacklist. His mood plummeted from its peak to its lowest point.

"Oh, it took you fifteen minutes to awaken..."

"Then I'll awaken this platinum-level item,"

"It is indeed different from yours."

The other party has added you to their blacklist...

Li Zheng's lips curled up in a wide smile as he looked at the system notification.

The last message wasn't sent successfully, but the most crucial information was received by the recipient.

Click on Fengshan's profile picture, add him to the blacklist, no timeout this time, confirm!
the other side,
Fengshan unblocked Li Zheng even faster than he had set up a blacklist, and couldn't wait to send a message to ask about the status of the platinum-level item.

"Brother! Dear brother! I was wrong!"

The other party has added you to their blacklist...

"You bastard surnamed Li, I'll fuck your grandpa!"

Fengshan went berserk and punched the wall of the capsule residence.

boom!
[Unauthorized modifications have resulted in damage to the capsule dwelling. Please repair it promptly.]

Fengshan: "..."

I feel great after finishing this chapter!

However, I haven't dared to look at the group chat for several days now...

After all, Xiao Fengfeng was persecuted so badly...
