Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 250 Let's start with a Manchu Han Imperial Feast to whet my appetite!
"Deal with the person who raised the problem?" Li Zheng shook his head slightly. He had thought Lu Li would offer some constructive suggestions this time, but it turned out to be an immature idea.

He replied in the group: "I've thought about this idea before. It can only kill a limited number of people, and the operation period will be prolonged, so it's not very realistic."

The Matrix imposes too many restrictions on players. Let alone killing all those who oppose him, even if the target is narrowed down to members of the "Takamagahara" organization, Li Zheng has only killed a few people in the past few days, and those who died were all people who personally provoked Li Zheng.

Lu Li said, "We don't need to kill many people. We just need to find a way to achieve precise strikes. These people dare to provoke you because they know that changing channels is inconvenient, right?"

“You mean…” Li Zheng’s expression shifted.

Lu Li continued, "If they knew that Father could break through teleportation limitations and accurately locate and kill targets regardless of their channel, do you think... anyone would still cause trouble?"

Lu Li also participated in the trip to the blacksmith shop, and Li Zheng had mentioned the space pirate incident in the group chat, so everyone knew about it.

That's why Lu Li came up with this idea based on this prop.

Even Ye Yuan understood now: "I get it! This is the 'knife-holding effect.' You want those people to know that Old Li has a knife to their throats, and if they move, it will fall!"

Lu Li: "That's right. There are always a few who aren't afraid of death. If we let them know fear, they'll shut up on their own!"
Even those who blindly follow the trend of insults, once they know they might pay the price for their careless words, would they still dare to blatantly spout nonsense?

Liu Jiale added, "In this way, as long as no one mentions this matter again, the public will quickly forget about it."

Ye Yuan: "So this is what it means for the internet to have no memory?"

Chu Xiao then spoke up: "That's right! Sometimes the internet really doesn't need to remember, especially such obvious slander. The question now is, who should be used as a scapegoat to make an example of others?"

Ye Kai also said, "It would be best if these people were to spread out and have a certain prestige in their respective channels. Perhaps we can observe and see which people receive more responses."

The more widely the target is spread, the stronger its deterrent effect on others.

Li Zheng said, "There might not be that much time left. I only have the Star Pirate item for a short period of time; it expires tomorrow. I'd better resolve my matters today."

At this moment, Xiao Siyuan, who hadn't spoken up until now, said, "I have a list here, I'll send it to you in a bit. @Li Zheng"

Lu Li also said, "I have a list here too..."

Xiao Siyuan: "Perfect timing. I hastily compiled this list from memory, so there might be a lot of omissions. Let's both send it to him and let him put it together himself, finding the ones who are jumping the gun the most and working on them first."

Immediately afterwards, Li Zheng received two designated transactions, one from Lu Li and the other from Xiao Siyuan.

After taking it out and glancing at it briefly, Li Zheng was inexplicably moved.

As Xiao Siyuan said, this list was hastily compiled, with relatively few targets and not detailed enough.

However, four of them overlapped with those that Li Zheng had extracted from Chizuru Kamishiro's memories.

The one Lu Li sent was much more exaggerated, with more than thirty names from different countries!

Moreover, each person's name has a note, indicating that some of them were the first players from a certain country to join in and start insulting Li Zheng.

Some people are the most vocal in their criticism, some are the most enthusiastic, and some use the most offensive language.

This includes Ma Yan from channel 879. Lu Li even specifically noted that if Li Zheng were to kill her, he should make her hand over her pocket watch first.

It seems that Lu Li has been paying close attention to the incident from the very beginning, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to produce such a detailed list.

Unexpectedly, the only player in the group who seemed mentally unstable was the one who devoted the most effort to his own affairs.

Li Zheng felt a little guilty because Lu Li was probably the one in the group who had received the least benefit from him.

He was almost never involved in dungeon runs, and was even often bullied by me. He would follow me around calling me "Father" every day, but in the end, he was the one who cared about me the most.

For a moment, Li Zheng was at a loss for words. Perhaps... he could treat Lu Li better in the future. Li Zheng's principle was simple: if someone is good to you, you should repay them with even better treatment.

This has always been my grandmother's teaching, from childhood to adulthood.

Of course, his grandmother had also told him to repay kindness with kindness and to repay injustice with justice.

If you are bullied, don't be soft-hearted. Fight back when you should. Never let yourself live a life that is too stifling.

After comparing all three lists, four names overlapped. Lu Li's list had the most names and was the most detailed, and he identified all the masterminds behind the scenes.

After reading it, Li Zheng noticed that one of the people behind the scenes was different from the person on the list he had.

After thinking for a moment, he asked in the group chat: "Who is this Korean guy named Kim In-jae? Why did you label him as the mastermind behind it all?"

Lu Li replied: "He hides it well and doesn't say much, but I've noticed that he interacts with the comments of a few idiots every time he posts. These people probably know each other in private."

know?

Li Zheng was very surprised; he hadn't expected Lu Li to be able to discern even such details.

At this moment, Ye Kai suddenly said in the group: "Nephew, give me a list. The three of us are still in channel 24. We can help clean up a few. Old Li, don't waste your space pirates. Just go to other places first."

Li Zheng was deeply moved and felt a surge of warmth in his heart: "Thank you all for your help."

He could tell that everyone in the group, regardless of who they were, cared a lot about his situation.

He even felt that if it weren't for the restrictions on movement within the matrix, they would have already started to help fight back.

Chu Xiao replied, "I said, if you need help, just ask, and I'll be there whenever you call."

Although Lin Feng's confession about killing his sister was a completely accidental revelation, Chu Xiao always kept this debt of gratitude for personally avenging him in his heart.

Ye Kai echoed, "Helping you is also helping ourselves. Don't think that just because you've done so much, we can't see how you've helped the entire channel improve its strength!"

He was referring to Li Zheng announcing the gene-based drug and accepting commissions "at a low price".

Li Zheng felt somewhat embarrassed. If Ye Kai knew that simply upgrading all channels to the Black Iron 5+ limit would bring him a profit of 200,000 extra potions, he wondered what Ye Kai would think...

Ye Yuan said in the group: "I think differently from them. I'm only helping because you can provide delicious food. You can't be in trouble before I get tired of everything."

Liu Jiale said in bewilderment, "Wow, now that you mention it, I suddenly realize that my decision to come back first was a bit unethical."

Zhan Zhouzhou: "...Ye Kai, could you lend me your compass for a moment? I'm going to talk to Ma Yan."

Li Zheng was slightly taken aback, then realized that Lady Zhan must have obtained the list from Lu Li in private, otherwise she wouldn't have been so insistent on going to Ma Yan.

Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, he felt bad about being stingy. Since it was almost lunchtime, he decided to go all out today and prepare a lavish lunch for everyone in the group!

He said in the group chat: "I won't say much more. Today, lunch is on me, Li! You can eat whatever you want, I'll make whatever you order!"

The group cheered immediately, and even Fengshan and Yanguang lifted their bans to join in the meal.

Ye Yuan was even happier: "Great! Let's start with a Manchu Han Imperial Feast, I'll whet my appetite!"

Li Zheng: "..."
