Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 271: They destroyed a small warehouse of the Creation World?

[A perfectly intact earthworm eyeball]
Grade: Diamond

Type: special props

Effects: When cooked and consumed, it can comprehensively improve eyesight and has a slight chance of developing vision-related gene abilities.

Old Pu: Originally it was a pair, guess why there's only one?

Why else?
It must have been damaged by being stabbed...

Li Zheng looked up at the sky, his face full of melancholy.

There's a chance to develop items that grant diamond-level genetic abilities!
If he had known beforehand that his sword strike would destroy two precious items, he would have preferred to go to the extra trouble and kill the earth dragon in another way.

After a battle, perhaps the only good news is that other materials were not damaged or reduced.

"Since things have come to this, let's just keep one." Li Zheng put away the dragon eyeball and took out other materials to examine.

There's not much to say about blood and flesh; the former can be consumed directly and has the effect of enhancing the strength of blood and flesh.

The latter is just a simple ingredient; it doesn't taste good and is always tough and dry no matter how it's cooked.

Li Zheng stuffed all the meat into the back of the cold storage, keeping it as a reserve for when he was ever short of food.

Thick skin can be made into clothing, but its defensive capabilities are relatively low. When combined with scales to create scale armor, its defensive capabilities can be boosted to near diamond level.

However, it requires a high level of skill; if you try to make it by hand, there is a very high chance of failure, and the material will be scrapped.

Skeleton... Li Zheng still didn't know what this material could be used for.

At present, the most abundant items in the trading hall are not gray-quality "junk," but rather materials such as the bones and shells of creatures of various levels.

Countless materials of this type were hanging in the trading hall, but no one paid any attention to them. Li Zheng even had the feeling that the skeletal materials had been forgotten by the end users. Otherwise, why would there be no corresponding blueprints?
However, Li Zheng did discover something: players could find a way to crush the bones themselves, and the crushed bone powder could be put into the composting workshop to produce fertilizer.

It's just that the price-performance ratio is extremely low!
In comparison, feces are more common, don't require manual processing, and produce fertilizer with similar effects.

Finally, there's the "earth dragon's heart".

The type of this prop was unexpected by Li Zheng; it was classified as a "bionic organ".

If players can accept the extremely high probability of "rejection," they can try to have the heart implanted in their own chest cavity.

As for the effect, the terminal did not provide specific details, and Lao Pu did not give any corresponding prompts.

It is important to note that "rejection reaction" is very dangerous and can be life-threatening.

Overall, this earth dragon is very productive.

If the crystal nucleus is flawless and one eyeball is not missing, it can become even richer.

"I wonder if Li Chun can handle diamond-grade skin and scales." Li Zheng checked the time and guessed that the other party was probably already resting, so he didn't disturb him.

"I'll ask tomorrow. Diamond-level material, it probably won't be an easy task to process properly."

After sorting through the earth dragon's output, Li Zheng began to deal with the remaining items.

What was originally a large lake was turned into mud by the earth dragon's stirring, especially the earthquake.

Even so, Li Zheng filled the bathroom's circulation system and then filled a hundred empty water bottles.

Ultimately, considering it was too time-consuming, Li Zheng had no choice but to abandon the remaining lake water and instead traverse the rainforest, occasionally stopping to gather some flowers and herbs. (The rule that water must be in a container to be traded, and that you can trade it by simply holding a handful in your hand, is too unreasonable.)
Jasmine
Grade: Gray

Type: Plant

Uses: After drying, it can be used as tea, with a delicate and refreshing aroma.

Cooling Flower
Grade: Gray

Type: Plant

Uses: After being dried, it can be used as tea, with refreshing and cooling properties.

Although they weren't very valuable and there weren't many of them, Li Zheng cared more about these flowers and plants than the lake water.

After all, this is a great thing that can improve the quality of life.

After collecting more than 30 kilograms of flowers and plants, Li Zheng turned his attention to the trees.

It's no wonder this is the habitat of the diamond-level creature, the Earth Dragon; many of the plants here are things that players can use.

Fruit trees
Grade: Gray

Type: Plant

Effects: After drying, it has a unique fruity aroma and can be used as fuel for grilling.

After all three fruit trees were felled, each was cut into pieces about one meter long, giving Li Zheng a total of ten meters of fruit wood, each about the thickness of a bowl, which would last a long time.

After finishing everything, Li Zheng left behind a mess and took Xiao Ying away.

The exploration continued until 11:30 p.m., when Li Zheng finally used up all the remaining uses of the Mysterious Declaration.

None of the eight rooms were of high value, but five of them were gold-level biological rooms. Sakura took care of them and managed to gather the materials for five more gold-level potions.

There are still three Silver Bio Rooms, but they only managed to gather two types of potion materials. He has already reached the limit for the potion that can be made from Silver Blood, so he can only save it for later sale.

"After finishing these potions, I'll need five more tubes to reach the Silver Physique 5+ limit." Li Zheng sat on the bed, finishing the several tubes of potions he had just made. The only drawback was that he hadn't gathered all the materials for the Gold-grade potion yet; otherwise, Li Zheng would have liked to upgrade tonight and create another offspring of Old Pu.

After checking the potion-making station and noting down the missing materials, Li Zheng planned to find a way to get them all tomorrow in order to break through to the Gold level.

"The new offspring... shall be given to Lu Li."

Li Zheng only knew a few people, and each of them was quite capable. As long as they didn't do anything reckless, it wouldn't make much difference whether or not they had Lao Pu's offspring.

It's just icing on the cake.

Turning around, Li Zheng went into the bathroom, lay down in the bathtub filled with water, and began to merge the identity cards one by one.

Apart from the portion left for others, all the rest were combined to obtain a bunch of miscellaneous low-level materials and items.

Thanks to the low level of these items, the "add one" effect of the Mysterious Declaration was practically negligible...

Throw all the useless items into the trading hall and sell them in bulk, while keeping the useful materials for yourself.

After taking stock, Li Zheng was pleasantly surprised to find that among the nearly fifty materials, there were four bottles of silver blood that he needed.

In this way, he only needs one more bottle of blood material to raise his physique to the Silver Perfection level.

After all the identity cards were merged, Li Zheng finally had some free time.

Taking a deep breath, Li Zheng leaned down, burying his chin in the water, and reviewed the events of the day.

Thanks to the Creation Organization, he spent the entire day running around, busy chasing and killing people.

Li Zheng didn't know why, but it seemed that ever since he killed Lin Fan, he hadn't experienced the "aftereffects of killing" that were frequently mentioned in novels and movies.

Forget about vomiting, he didn't even experience any psychological or physical discomfort.

However, before that, the creatures that died most often at his hands were actually flies and mosquitoes...

"Maybe this is what they mean by not being able to compare people," Li Zheng exhaled, blowing bubbles in the water. "Fortunately, this matter is temporarily over. Hopefully, those people will learn their lesson and not mess with me again."

After all, killing people would greatly disrupt daily exploration.

If Li Zheng hadn't possessed the mysterious declaration artifact, he would have wasted the entire day chasing after people, missing all his exploration opportunities.

He sat in the bathtub in a daze for a while until Ye Kai sent him a private message, which brought him back to his senses.

Upon opening it, it became clear that Ye Kai's purpose was to borrow the space pirates.

Li Zheng casually replied, "So the three of you finally remembered to go back?"

Since Ye Kai and his two companions went to the blacksmith shop, they haven't returned to Channel 879. Li Zheng also doesn't know why they stayed at Institute 24.

"Yes, I originally wanted to use the Leap Device to go back, but then I thought I should keep the one-time-per-month restriction." Ye Kai sent a private message: "Don't worry, you'll get the power core."

"Not at all." Li Zheng casually rented the space pirates over and said, "Luckily, I had the foresight to leave all three of you a teleportation opportunity."

To be precise, Li Zheng stayed four times, and one of those times was for his own use when he returned to 879.

However, he changed his mind at the last minute and stayed on channel 995.

In the private message list, the channel number before the names of Ye Kai and his sister and Chu Xiao has changed to 879, and the Star Pirates have also returned it.

Three system notifications popped up simultaneously, and the three of them sent over the reward together: a total of six gold-grade power cores.

Ye Kai asked, somewhat puzzled, "Why are you still on that channel?"

Li Zheng took out all his belongings and threw them into the outer hall, saying honestly, "Well, this place is more suitable for me to explore, so I won't go back for now."

"Whatever you want." Ye Kai didn't ask any more questions, but sent another private message: "But you need to think it over carefully. If you don't come back this time, you'll have to wait more than twenty days before you can use the Leap Device again."

“I know,” Li Zheng replied.

Li Zheng had already considered this, but he valued the extra ten exploration opportunities each day more.

"It's fine once you've thought it through." After a while, Ye Kai suddenly sent another private message in a mysterious tone: "Aren't you curious why we've been staying on channel 24 until now?"

There was definitely some curiosity involved, but that was their private matter, so Li Zheng naturally couldn't ask them directly.

However, now that Ye Kai brought it up himself, Li Zheng casually asked, "Why?"

"I can't tell you the source of this information, but it won't hurt to tell you the result." Ye Kai revealed a piece of news that almost shocked Li Zheng: "The three of us wiped out a small warehouse at Genesis!"

"Small warehouse?"

"Yes, it was a player who was in charge of storing resources. We kidnapped him and used coercion and bribery for almost half a day before we finally got rid of him."

Li Zheng was puzzled: "Aren't you exaggerating a bit? If things don't look good, won't they move their stuff out?"

Ye Kai said somewhat smugly, "We have the means, but we signed a confidentiality agreement, so we can't reveal them to you. You just need to know that we took over a small warehouse of Genesis."

Sign an agreement?
Are there other people involved in this?
Based on the sources Ye Kai mentioned earlier, Li Zheng thought of a possibility.

Stopping his bubbling, Li Zheng sat up straight: "You... joined the organization?"

Just one chapter today. I didn't sleep well yesterday, and my mind is still foggy and I'm not very clear-headed, so I don't dare to write anything recklessly.
