Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 296 Dual-System Ability Development Tools

"Once you're in my household, you're mine." Li Zheng was even less likely to let it go now. Seeing that it showed no intention of leaving, he pressed his advantage, saying, "Following me will bring you great benefits, at least a lifetime warranty!"

"..." The agricultural doll tilted its head to look at Li Zheng, puzzled.

Ignoring it, Li Zheng looked it over and found the remaining animal hides on its body a bit of an eyesore. So he simply took a few full-body photos from different angles and sent them to Li Chun, asking her to help him tailor two sets of clothes.

"Oh right, I almost forgot about that!" Li Zheng only remembered after contacting Li Chun that he hadn't used the scales and other materials he obtained from the earth dragon yet.

The skin and scales produced by the earth dragon are of diamond grade. Li Zheng was worried that the little girl wouldn't be able to handle them, so he simply sent her the attributes and asked if she could make them.

"If we can't do it, it's okay. We can make it when the quality of the sewing table is improved."

Ever since Li Zheng saved the little girl's life, she has never charged him extra for clothes or protective gear he commissions.

He would even pay out of his own pocket to help with the production of materials, which made Li Zheng feel really bad, afraid that the young girl would feel pressured.

Li Chun replied after a while: "I can make a soft armor for the upper body, but it will take some time. It can be finished in two days."

"You can even craft diamond-grade armor now?" Li Zheng was somewhat surprised. In his memory, Li Chun's strength was not enough to handle the corresponding level of difficulty. How did he manage to obtain diamond materials ahead of time?
"Yes!" Li Chun explained, "It just so happens that Sister Zhan asked me to process a diamond-grade piece of armor this afternoon, and the materials for upgrading the sewing table were given to me by Sister Zhan."

The sewing table was no secret within Li Zheng's small group. Everyone knew about its existence, and they also liked Li Chun's clothing designs. They often sought her out to have protective gear or ordinary clothes made.

Over time, whenever Li Chun encountered difficulties, everyone was willing to help her.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Li Zheng sent all the materials over.

"It's not hard work, as long as I can help, that's fine." Li Chun knew that her abilities were limited and that she could only offer some assistance in sewing.

Helping Li Zheng and the others process some clothes was really just a small favor for her.

Moreover, isn't it a good thing that people like the clothes she makes?

“I can’t always let you help me for nothing.” Li Zheng thought for a moment and said, “How about this, I’ll provide you with a meal for each of your meals for the next two days, so you can improve your diet.”

"Really?" Li Chun was overjoyed. Ever since she had tasted some of the dishes Li Zheng had brought out, she had been thinking about them, but she was too embarrassed to ask Li Zheng, so she had been holding back.

It was a pleasant surprise that Li Zheng offered her a share.

"It's just a few dishes, nothing special." Li Zheng smiled. He was repaying the young girl who had previously given him materials to make clothes, not just as a simple fee for her hard work.

"Thank you, Brother Li Zheng. I happen to be free right now, so I'll help you process those two sets of ordinary clothes first." After sending this private message, Li Chun went off to get busy.

The new agricultural doll has six arms, which is a strange experience for the little girl, as she has never designed clothes in a similar style before.

Li Zheng stopped bothering her, closed the private message page, and turned around. He was sweating profusely.

Ugly Farmer somehow wandered over to the place where Ibaraki was located in the Arctic, lifted the lid of the petri dish, and was looking inside.

It's important to know that in order to ensure the normal growth of Arctic Ibaraki, Li Zheng needs to frequently inject cold air into the culture dish.

At this moment, Chou Nong lifted the lid of the petri dish. Not only would the cold air inside easily escape, but Li Zheng was also worried that the sub-zero temperature inside would affect this old robot.

It's alright if the Arctic Ibaraki is ruined; Li Zheng can find other things to replace it.

But Ugly Farmer is currently unique. Its method of increasing crop yield by preparing ashes alone is a treasure, not to mention that it is truly "intelligent".

"What are you doing!" Li Zheng shouted, completely forgetting that the other person couldn't understand what he was saying.

"..." Ugly Farmer looked up at him strangely, then burrowed back into the pile of materials and began searching. This time, it was looking for the blood materials that Li Zheng had traded from Takamagahara.

Ugly Farmer shook his head as he flipped through the items, seemingly unable to find anything satisfactory.

Li Zheng felt heartbroken watching its rough movements.

These are all materials he needs for his promotion in the next two days, and he can't accept breaking a few bottles.

Fortunately, the ugly farmer didn't search for too long and soon pulled out several bottles of blood of different colors from a pile of materials.

He then took out the remaining bones and ground them all into powder. Perhaps finding the amount too small, Chou Nong looked up at Li Zheng.

Li Zheng actually saw "dissatisfaction" in a pair of electronic lenses.

After the ashes were ground, Chou Nong poured in the selected bottles of blood, mixing them with cement to form a paste.

Then, holding the paste-like ashes, he smeared them onto the petri dish in which the Arctic thorn was planted. There was only a thin layer, barely covering the inner wall of the petri dish.

Li Zheng stepped forward to check and found that the blood selected by Chou Nong was basically taken from organisms with words such as "cold," "cold," and "ice."

When these bloods mixed together, they produced an astonishing reaction, emitting a strong, chilling aura.

The paste-like bone ash smeared on the inner wall of the petri dish was just enough to surround the entire Arctic thorn tree.

Li Zheng checked the internal temperature and found it was already very close to minus one hundred degrees Celsius. If he hadn't put on an "extreme isolation" device beforehand, he would have been frostbitten by now.

"Wow!" Li Zheng was truly impressed; he realized he might have stumbled upon an incredible treasure.

After dealing with the Arctic Ibaraki, Ushino found a corner to stand in, no longer moving, and even closed his eyes. The bionic tissue's eyelids drooped down, obscuring the cold electronic lens.

"Is this a decision to keep him?" Li Zheng was overjoyed. With Chou Nong around, he would be able to save a lot of time in the future.

Simply by avoiding the need to frequently cool down Ibaraki in the Arctic, Li Zheng has saved himself a lot of trouble.

After leaving the house and putting it away, Li Zheng finally had time to take a closer look at the wind-elemental crop.

A small, lush green grass with leaves that swirl like a tornado, its surface covered with a milky white frost, and it has a refreshing fragrance.

Cyclone Ice Grass

Wind and Ice Dual Elements!

Another tool for developing dual-gene abilities!
Li Zheng's hands trembled slightly as he picked the mature Cyclone Ice Grass, put it into a capsule, and planted it on Faceless.

Although the gold grade is a bit low, Li Zheng has the culture medium. As long as there is one mutation, it will be worth it.
