Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 461: Before even requesting reinforcements, they were already on their way. (4.2K)

In the matrix, what tier of item is the strongest? What is the most valuable?
Is it a king-level weapon like the Demon Blade Thirst for Blood?

Or is it an upgradeable item like the 'Overweight' necklace?

neither!
Instead, it's a "rankless" item!

Because there are no ranks, there are no restrictions!

The "Gene Ability Repair Fluid" that Banquan Longma took out is a rankless item.

Its function is to repair genetic defects and randomly upgrade the rank of one genetic ability, and this upgrade ignores the ability's rank.

This means that if Li Zheng uses this item, as long as it is one of his genetic abilities, whether it is Platinum or Star Glory, he has a chance to advance to a higher rank!
"nice one!"

Li Zheng was tempted. Although he didn't want to care about Banquan Longma's life or death, no one could remain calm in the face of such a reward.

World Channel.

Cheng Tianpu: "Please, Mr. Li, give me some face and don't interfere in the feud between our Nth Room and Banquan Longma. Once I kill him, I'll hand over this prop with both hands!"

The Nth Room has been hunting down Itagaki Ryoma for three days, and Cheng Tianpu never expected that the other party would have such a good thing in their hands.

Even the top management of Genesis, let alone Cheng Tianpu, didn't know that Banquan Longma secretly possessed such a powerful tool that could defy the heavens if used properly.

"what happened?"

Seeing Li Zheng suddenly stop, Miriel couldn't help but ask, "What happened again?"

"Well, it's nothing important."

Li Zheng shifted his attention and gave a general account of his feud with Banquan Longma. Then he talked about how the other party had specifically asked him for help this time. "Although the thing he brought out was very tempting, I always felt that there was something fishy about it."

Logically speaking, if Banquan Longma had such good stuff, he could have easily asked other legion leaders to help him out. After all, his feud with the Nth Room shouldn't be enough to make the Nth Room risk offending a major legion and fighting him to the death.

But he didn't look for anyone on the world channel, and specifically asked me for help, which was a bit puzzling to Li Zheng.

In Li Zheng's own view, no matter how much other players respected or feared him, that was the attitude of casual players.

To be honest, most legions with a large number of members don't really have much of an attitude towards themselves.

Don't offend them, but don't fawn over them excessively either.

This was especially true after the attack on them by a coalition of five legions.

But which legion is particularly afraid of itself?
Li Zheng personally believes that it probably doesn't exist.

When the Fifth Army Corps attacked, his approach was to seek outside help. In the eyes of others, this approach would greatly reduce the impact of his personal strength, giving rise to the idea that "Li Zheng is nothing special. As long as there are enough people to surround and suppress him, he won't be able to handle it either."

Despite Qidian Legion's two-day reign at the top of the legion rankings, it seems unlikely that the other legions can challenge its lead.

However, any player who knows anything about Qidian Legion knows that almost all of them are novice players, and their overall strength is very weak.

It's all thanks to Li Zheng and a few other elite experts like Zhan Zhouzhou who frequently appear in the terminal announcements that they're keeping things afloat.

If a large military force really wants to fight Li Zheng to the death, there are plenty of ways to hold him back.

Putting everything else aside, just letting Li Zheng go and attacking those novice players in the Qidian Legion would be enough to keep the top players of Qidian running around and having a headache.

Although the subsequent counterattack by Li Zheng and his forces was something no legion in the matrix could withstand...

In the eyes of many legion leaders, Li Zheng's decision to prioritize novice players over expert players when establishing Qidian was a terrible move.

Admittedly, this approach would maximize the appeal to new players and seems to be beneficial for the legion's future development.

In reality, this greatly affected the overall strength of the legion, and its foundation was far inferior to that of other legions.

"You can't even understand such a simple plan?"

After learning what had happened, Miriel pondered for a moment, and taking advantage of her bad mood over Li Zheng's poor talent in learning whip techniques, she gave him a little look of contempt.

"What do you mean?" Li Zheng knew he didn't like to use his brain and pretended not to hear Miriel's contempt.

Because she was right to despise it!
Miriel thought this was a good opportunity to guide Li Zheng onto the path of 'diligence and studiousness', so she patiently explained it to him.

"Look at the time now, it's almost midnight. I don't know what it's like here, but in the Abyss, apart from a few races, most demons are in a relaxed state and inevitably ignore outside information."

Li Zheng thought about it and felt that what Miriel said made sense. Not only the Abyss Demons, but also the actual Earthlings at this time were generally in a 'wise state' and had no interest in ordinary things.

It's almost midnight now, and players are either already resting, focused on training to improve themselves, or browsing various live streams for entertainment.

Who would be distracted by constantly checking the world channel?
"You mean, the reason why Banquan Longma included my name was to attract attention?" Li Zheng felt that he understood Miriel's subtext.

"That's right!"

Miriel nodded slightly, her little face serious: "These past few days, when you were talking to other people, I couldn't understand what they were saying, but I could understand the general meaning of every word you said."

"Based on my observation, I suspect that although each of you is separated, there should be something that allows you to connect with each other, something you mentioned in your description of the problem earlier, something called a 'chat channel'."

"And you... although I'm very reluctant to admit it, I've observed that your individual strength should be among the top in the clan."

At this point, Miriel couldn't help but roll her eyes and retort, "It's hard to believe that you, a martial arts idiot, are actually one of the strongest individuals in your race. Don't you have any geniuses in your race?"

Li Zheng: "..."

Although it was true, saying it so frankly to his face left him with no excuse to refute it.

There are definitely geniuses out there.

Or……

Compared to Li Zheng, every Chinese person is a genius in martial arts!

Even those swordsmanship apprentices who were eliminated by Zhan Zhouzhou...

Zhan Zhouzhou himself is even a god of swordsmanship!
Looking at all the players, no one can surpass him in terms of his achievements in Kendo!
Unfortunately, although Old Li's martial arts talent is trash, he has a cheat code.

“Of course, that alone isn’t enough to attract a large enough audience to your name as soon as it appears.” Miriel continued to reason, “So your fame must be quite widespread, at least most people know you and have a very limited understanding of you.”

"Um……"

Miriel lowered her head and pondered for a moment: "Something big must have happened to you before, something that caused quite a stir among your people... murder?"

She looked up at Li Zheng carefully, then shook her head: "It wasn't just simple murder; it was the killing of some rather special people. The existence of those kinds of people posed a certain threat to your species."

"And considering the mutants you've been challenging these past two days, it seems everyone else gets a notification for each one they successfully kill?"

"The combination of these two factors has led to your growing fame."

"At this point, if someone mentions your name along with a topic that is eye-catching enough, that person has achieved their goal."

As Miriel drew to a close of his reasoning, a confident expression appeared on his face: "You just said that this person has some grudge against you. That is to say, he is your enemy... or at least on the opposite side."

"Imagine if you saw a celebrity's enemy openly asking that celebrity for help, wouldn't you be curious?"

"At this point, while you are curious, you will definitely use various methods to inform people who have not yet heard about this. When everyone is curious, the topic will naturally be discussed."

"Once the topic has generated enough discussion, then introduce something that will interest everyone more. Regardless of whether ordinary people have the ability to obtain those things, it will at least maximize the desire of those who covet them."

"Finally, considering that his purpose was to seek help and escape, this person wanted to use your fame to attract more attention to this matter."

“If you refuse or don’t respond, someone else will be willing to save him.”

"Well, if you're interested enough in that item, you'd better act quickly, otherwise someone else might beat you to it and you'll miss out."

Miriel reminded the completely stunned Li Zheng, "Don't worry, at a time like this, if you save him, he won't dare to back out." Li Zheng stared in disbelief: "You deduced that yourself in those last two minutes?"

It should be noted that Miriel has no access to the system's functions, and her understanding of Li Zheng is very superficial.

However, with only limited information and his own imagination, Mi Ruiwen was able to deduce the cause and effect of the matter with great accuracy.
That's outrageous!

"That's it."

Miriel shrugged, as if he had just done something insignificant, and said casually, "Actually, this is just a simple logical deduction. If there is a break in the logical chain, make an assumption in it to make the following logical chain reasonable enough, so that it will not deviate too far from reality."

"Is this your talent, or did someone teach you?" Li Zheng asked casually as he put away the capsule residence.

“My mother taught me some very simple tricks. Do you want to learn?” Miriel revealed her true intentions and said in a persuasive manner, “I’ll teach you… never mind, I’ll teach you after you’ve mastered most of your whip techniques.”

Miriel suddenly regretted it. Given how fast Li Zheng learned whip techniques, how could he possibly learn this kind of logical reasoning?

Ah, there's a lot to learn then.

Li Zheng: "..."

Is it an illusion?

Were you looked down upon just now?

hey~
My little temper!

Isn't it just that he's proficient in whip techniques?

practice……

You definitely can't learn it in a short time.

However, the next treasure chest is coming soon.

Let's talk about it after we open all the treasure chests.

Who knows, maybe this time we'll get a blank memory release device?
What was the name of that member who was skilled in whip techniques last time?

Halletu?
Nurhaci?

Gan!
Li Zheng looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle. The names on the vast grasslands are really hard to remember!
A glance at the world channel confirmed that, as Miriel had said, the gene repair fluid had attracted the attention of many second- and third-tier legion commanders.

Even Liu Qishao sent a message on the world channel, seemingly indicating his intention to support Izazumi Ryoma for this item.

Li Zheng pulled out his Star Pirate device, quickly edited a message for the world channel, and sent it out.

"Give me the coordinates."

Since Miriel said it's okay to go, let's go.

……

"Couldn't we have stalled him a little longer?"

Liu Qishao saw Li Zhengfa's message and curled his lip: "Banquan Longma still has time to send world messages, which means his current situation is not particularly urgent. Let's fish him for a while longer and squeeze out all the good stuff he can offer!"

Li Zheng remained silent, and Liu Qishao thought that Li Zheng was thinking the same thing as him. He didn't expect that Li Zheng would become restless after only a few minutes.

In fact, it wasn't just him; quite a few legions on the world channel were interested in the "gene repair fluid," but none of them actually offered to help.

If Banquan Longma can produce a prop like "gene repair fluid," perhaps he has other good stuff in his inventory?

The adjutant stepped forward and whispered, "Major, if we wait any longer, even if Itagaki Ryoma has something good, he won't be able to produce it if he doesn't have time to send a global message."

"Ok?"

Liu Qishao's eye twitched. "That kid Li Zheng got a good deal!"

The adjutant sighed and reminded him, "Major, you represent the highest official authority of our Dragon Kingdom within the Matrix. Banquan Longma is a Mudman, and a member of the hawk faction. It's not appropriate for you to openly protect him, is it?"

"Of course I understand that!"

Liu Qishao looked pained; the properties of the gene repair fluid were just too tempting!

Pity.

The adjutant looked at the world channel, scrolling through it carefully, and suddenly exclaimed in surprise: "Strange thing, Ryoma Izazumi is a member of Genesis. Even though Ryoma Izazumi was abandoned because of the Nth Room incident, now that they see something so good, no one in the Genesis Legion has expressed their opinion?"

After being reminded, Liu Qishao's expression changed, and he also carefully checked the world channel information twice.

Gradually, his expression became more and more serious. He said to his adjutant, "Ask if Malone's team has rested yet. If they haven't, tell them to work hard and hold on a little longer."

Upon hearing this order, the adjutant realized something: "You mean..."

Liu Qishao didn't say anything directly, but simply shook his head and said, "It's better to be safe than sorry."

He paused, then added, "Notify Ma Long to contact them himself and gather three hundred men, ready to be deployed at any time!"

"Yes!"

……

"Haha, Rebecca, your little lover is in trouble!"

Inside a room, two capsule residences sit side by side.

In front of the two capsule apartments, a well-proportioned man of about twenty-seven or twenty-eight was watching the world channel, gloating.

Joanna kept her word; after Rebecca helped her deal with the Knights of the Round Table, she immediately released Rebecca and the others.

Rebecca was right next to Mao Ge at that moment. Upon hearing this, she first blushed and then scolded, "What little lover? Li Zheng isn't my boyfriend... Wait, you're saying he's in trouble?"

She stood up abruptly, instantly opened her private messages and started calling for help: "Ralph, get everyone together, let's go fight!"

Ralph was already feeling sleepy and was preparing to go to bed and rest.

I was instantly excited when I received this private message, and replied with just one word: "Okay!"

Rebecca said let's fight, so let's fight!
Ralph never cared who his opponents were, how many there were, or what their strength was.

They only care about the time and place.

……

"Louis, inform the knight commanders who haven't rested yet to work overtime."

"Okay, Your Highness."

……

It wasn't just these three legions; across all the channels in the matrix, those who noticed the signs were making preparations.

Li Zheng was unaware that reinforcements were already on their way even before he had requested help.

If Itazura Ryoma knew about this, he'd probably cry.

The differences between people.

How can it be so big?
Did I not update yesterday?

If I said I forgot, would anyone believe me...?
