Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 314: Opening the treasure chest, but not fully opening it.
Kwon Sang-jo knelt on the ground, trembling under Sung Chun-pu's cold gaze, unable to look him in the eye.

How did he answer that question?

Did he tell Cheng Tianpu that he was afraid of dying, so he chickened out?

Because you chickened out, you panicked?
Did you panic and send the SOS message to the wrong person?

I'm afraid that if Cheng Tianpu just shot him right now, he'd blow his skull off!
So I can only remain silent.

Silence is Cambridge tonight.

After a moment, Cheng Tianpu finally spoke again and asked, "Tell me what characteristics robbers have."

"Yes...yes!" Quan Xiangzuo wiped his sweat and explained all the details he remembered, emphasizing the description of the two men in black with their firm stances.

"Boss, although they communicated in standard English the whole time, I think they are Asian."

Kwon Sang-sa gives his conclusion at the end.

"Shut up!" the surgically enhanced face suddenly shouted angrily.

Kwon Sang-jo remained silent, knowing he had spoken out of turn. He shouldn't be the one to state this conclusion; Sung Cheon-pu would have his own thoughts.

Cheng Tianpu turned around expressionlessly and gestured: "Let him suffer a bit."

After saying that, he took out a prop that looked like a fountain pen and drew a circle on the ground.

After stepping into the circle, the figure disappeared.

The surgically enhanced face followed closely behind with eight red-named individuals, leaving three behind to be tortured by the Prime Minister.

“Boss, someone between 1.6 and 1.7 meters tall can only be Asian.” The man with the surgically enhanced face walked out of the portal and whispered behind Cheng Tianpu, “The robbers coming tonight are very likely from South Vietnam, Nihong, and Xiangguo.”

“They’re mud people!” Cheng Tianpu said with certainty.

"The monkeys of South Vietnam are no threat. Even if you gave them a hundred million times the courage, they wouldn't dare to rob us."

"There are countless conflicts among the major castes in Elephant Kingdom. They can't even fight among their own people, let alone offend others at this time."

"Only Nihong and Longguo have the ability and the courage to do such a thing."

"Boss," the man with the surgically enhanced face asked curiously, "why not a Chinese person?"

“The Dragon Kingdom and the Netherlands are sworn enemies. If anyone should be robbing, it should be the Netherlands, not us.” Cheng Tianpu’s voice was low. “Moreover, the Dragon Kingdom has always prided itself on being a gentlemanly nation and would not stoop to such petty behavior. This can be seen from their public attitude on the international stage.”

The muscular bald guy with a red name behind him suddenly laughed disdainfully: "They're just a bunch of old fogies who are obsessed with saving face. Calling them gentlemen is giving them too much credit."

“Pedantic? Ha…” Cheng Tianpu suddenly sneered: “Pedantic is good, the more pedantic the better, the easier it is to deal with.”

Unfortunately, they weren't just pedantic, they were also very shrewd...

At this point, Cheng Tianpu's gaze drifted into the distance, lost in thought.

Several players with red names used their items to return to their own rooms, leaving only the plastic surgery face behind Cheng Tianpu, still standing behind him, as if she wouldn't move if he didn't move.

After a long while, Cheng Tianpu finally came to his senses as if waking from a dream and instructed, "Chunna, have Bingyao take the compass and go to channel 67. He knows what to do."

“Yes, boss. I will inform him after eight o’clock tomorrow morning.” Li Chunna bowed and replied, “It’s getting late, let me help you to rest.”

"No need, I want to be alone tonight."

"Okay, please feel free to call me if you need anything."

"Well, let's go."

Li Chunna turned and walked away, releasing her capsule residence to go inside and rest.

Cheng Tianpu stood there in a daze for a while, his expression shifting between light and dark, as if he were pondering many thoughts.

...A slight electronic shrapnel sound rang out. Li Zheng put his emotional balance bracelet back on, let out a long sigh, and the blood red in his eyes quickly faded.

"Whew...more...exploration...hard work..." A cool sensation spread throughout his body along his wrist, and his mind gradually cleared.

"Only fifteen minutes?" Li Zheng glanced at the time. This time, he forced himself to stay awake until he was almost losing consciousness before putting on the bracelet, pushing himself to the limit.

However, the results were very encouraging.

After the bracelet suppressed his violent emotions, he felt his mind was cleaner than ever before, as if all distracting thoughts had been cleared away.

Previously, it was as if a thick veil was covering my mind, but now, a corner of that veil has been lifted.

After listening intently for a while, Li Zheng was pleasantly surprised to find that the mild tinnitus he had suffered from before had disappeared, and the world became infinitely quieter.

"Awoo." Sakura came to Li Zheng's side and only felt relieved after confirming that her master was alright.

For the past fifteen minutes, it had been guarding the side with Pink Polly. Even as the murderous aura emanating from Li Zheng grew stronger and stronger, making it think that Li Zheng would kill it with his own hands, it did not back down an inch.

"I'm fine." Li Zheng smiled at it and told it to go to its bed to sleep.

"Ow~"

Sakura dragged Pink Polly back to the little nest made of fibers, turning it into a "waterbed," and lay down on it.

Polly doesn't need sleep and can always stay mentally active.

However, to accommodate Sakura, Pink Polly can remain motionless for hours, which is true love.

Li Zheng leaned against the bed for a while to recover, and only got out of bed when he was almost fully recovered.

With some time to spare before midnight, he didn't want to waste it, so he summoned his sheathed sword and found a corner in his spacious residence to practice his swordsmanship.

Zhan Zhouzhou did another live stream tonight, but Li Zheng was too busy to catch it.

However, having already received individual tutoring before, Li Zheng wasn't particularly concerned about those lessons.

The art of martial arts is profound and unfathomable.

Before he came into contact with martial arts, Li Zheng always felt that the fancy moves of traditional martial arts were just for show and a burden.

However, after he actually got to know them, he realized that... what he had seen before was just a facade!

To paraphrase a line Li Zheng once saw in a movie: Martial arts is a killing technique!

In reality, the true Zhan family sword technique is indeed a pure combat skill. Once mastered, it is so difficult for three to five people to get close to it.

Once inside the matrix, Zhan Zhouzhou made significant adjustments to his sword techniques due to the diverse types of enemies he faced.

She taught Li Zheng the adjusted sword techniques without reservation when she gave him private lessons before.

This is why Li Zheng finally agreed to provide ninety meals.

Zhan Zhouzhou might make a profit, but he definitely won't lose money.

“Zhan Zhouzhou is right. The more I practice all the sword techniques, the more I feel there is still room for improvement.” Li Zheng’s eyes were focused on the tip of the sword, his gaze following the movement of the blade.

After practicing for a while, he took out his sword and spear and practiced the other two martial arts he was proficient in again, so as not to become rusty if he didn't practice them for too long.

Time slips away slowly in the process of connecting.

After Li Zheng had practiced with all three weapons, he finally heard the sound of the treasure chest refreshing and being drawn.

[Treasure chest drawn, quality: Diamond. Claim now?]

"extract!"
