Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 501: You're right if you don't understand it!

"Here comes another one."

Zhan Zhouzhou was bathed in lightning, with lightning snakes darting around her, but none of them could cause her any real harm.

"Not bad, this lightning-type gene ability should have extraordinary power."

With a shift in footwork, Zhan Zhouzhou quickly retreated from the range of the lightning giant sword, coldly saying, "Unfortunately, I am also a lightning expert; your move is useless against me!"

She lightly raised the Purple Thunder Sword in her hand, and the lightning emitted by the greatsword was diverted. No wonder this seemingly terrifying attack failed to cause her any real damage.

Not far away, another player wearing a bronze mask slowly stepped forward. Judging from her exquisite figure, she was a woman.

She looked at the Purple Extreme Sword in Zhan Zhouzhou's hand and said softly, "I didn't expect that you could make such a good use of the special properties of lightning, using the dissimilarity of the electrodes to repel all the electric light. It seems that your genetic ability is of a higher grade than mine."

A gene ability that can produce extraordinary power may not necessarily be of extraordinary quality itself.

It's also possible that diamond-level genetic abilities upgraded the level.

"It's just a little trick to using genetic abilities. I used it to avoid a lot of danger in the early stages of the game," Zhan Zhouzhou mocked. "Isn't that something anyone who's studied physics could do?"

She made it sound so easy, but only Zhan Zhouzhou herself knew how terrifying control it required to precisely repel the erratic electric currents.

It is virtually impossible for an ordinary person to replicate her methods.

At least the female player wearing the bronze mask on the other side knew perfectly well that she couldn't do it herself.

Even if Zhan Zhouzhou explained the principle to her, she still couldn't replicate it.

What's most terrifying about Zhan Zhouzhou is that her move was a sneak attack without any warning. Zhan Zhouzhou was able to react the moment the lightning giant sword appeared and deflect all the currents that were attacking her!

Such a reaction speed is simply inhuman!
(The above is all nonsense; I never passed physics.)

"Get out of my way! She's my target!"

Jiang Bingyao showed no gratitude to the female player who suddenly came to his aid; instead, he roared angrily, "Mind your own business!"

The female player completely ignored Jiang Bingyao's emotions and coldly said, "You alone are no match for her. If it weren't for me, you would be dead!"

That's right.

If she hadn't suddenly launched a sneak attack, Zhan Zhouzhou would have killed Jiang Bingyao the moment he threw his punch.

Not to mention that he's still standing here throwing a tantrum.

"That's none of your business!" Jiang Bingyao said ungratefully.

"The guild leader's target is the little girl behind her. Kunlun has already started to defend, and there's no point in delaying any longer!" The female player refused to back down.

"What's it to me!" Jiang Bingyao wasn't intimidated by the title of regimental commander that the other party had invoked. Instead, he roared, "If you make another move, don't blame me for being impolite!"

After saying that, he suddenly stomped his foot on the ground again.

"Ground Thrust!"

The ground split open, and a stone pillar, so thick that it would take two people to encircle it, rose from the ground. Instead of attacking Zhan Zhouzhou, it blocked the female player's path.

He himself charged at Zhan Zhouzhou like a tiger.

"madman!"

The female player gritted her teeth, raised her hand to recall the lightning greatsword, spun it in the air, and shattered the stone pillar.

The moment the stone pillar was shattered, she saw Zhan Zhouzhou face Jiang Bingyao's charging attack without backing down, and gently raise her hand to deliver an extremely ordinary straight thrust.

That thrust seemed to pierce through time and space; it didn't look fast, yet it gave the impression that there was absolutely no room to dodge.

Unable to control his charging speed, Jiang Bingyao was pierced through from both sides by the lightning sword that gleamed with purple light, as if he had deliberately crashed into it.

His fist, which he had thrown, stopped weakly less than five millimeters from Zhan Zhouzhou's nose, unable to advance even a fraction of an inch further.

The force of the punch caused Zhan Zhouzhou's short, ear-length hair to flutter slightly, her expression calm.

"how come……"

Jiang Bingyao's eyes were wide with disbelief. He didn't even know what had just happened. Why did he only see the other party raise his hand, and the next moment the long sword pierced through his body?

"can't read?"

Zhan Zhouzhou coldly said, "It's good that you can't understand it. Your country has no martial arts foundation at all. You just steal a move or two from others, haphazardly modify it, and call it your heritage, secretly pleased with yourself. How could you possibly understand such exquisite swordsmanship?"

"This is impossible...this is impossible...how could there be such martial arts in this world?"

Jiang Bingyao was utterly dejected, as if his worldview, built up over a lifetime, was crumbling. He muttered to himself, "It's fake! It's all fake! There can't be such martial arts in this world!"

"The frog at the bottom of the well."

Zhan Zhouzhou's gaze towards Jiang Bingyao gradually filled with disdain: "Having lived under the scrutiny of others since childhood, your fragile self-esteem has made you irritable and restless, and extremely prone to going berserk, all for the sake of protecting the Fierce Tiger Fist in your heart?"

"Ah...that's truly tragic!"

"Although I haven't seen much of your Tiger Fist, I can glean some insights from those two moves you made."

"It's pieced together from stolen materials, without any original understanding, and it's fundamentally flawed."

"If the starting line is drawn crooked, how can you possibly see the finish line if you keep running along that path?"

"Having met me today, your martial arts foundation is completely destroyed, and you will never have a chance to rise again!"

"Go back and be a good-for-nothing!"

puff!
After saying that, Zhan Zhouzhou didn't give Jiang Bingyao a chance to react. With one hand, she raised her sword and slashed him into a "Y" shape.

Before turning into white light and flying away, Jiang Bingyao's eyes were devoid of any light. From then on, he might really become a martial arts waste, just as Zhan Zhouzhou had said.

Because his vision was too limited, when he suddenly encountered a martial arts genius like Zhan Zhouzhou, he realized that Zhan Zhouzhou was inferior in terms of foundation, talent, and the sweat he usually shed. This directly shattered the martial arts confidence that he had barely managed to piece together.

If he had been born in China and had a good martial arts master to guide him, he might have been able to break through and rebuild his martial arts, and his skills would have already advanced to a higher level.

pity……

Having stolen the country, he had no martial arts background whatsoever. How could he possibly turn his life around?
difficult!
Perhaps from now on, he won't even be able to throw a punch at his enemy.

Every time he throws a punch, he recalls Zhan Zhouzhou's astonishing sword strike today, making him feel ashamed and powerless to throw a punch!
"Next, it's your turn!"

Zhan Zhouzhou turned her head coldly, her emotionless eyes locking onto the other female player as if she were looking at a corpse.

"Hey~"

The female player's legs went weak, and she almost knelt down before Zhan Zhouzhou on the spot. She bowed deeply and said crisply, "I'm sorry, I was wrong! Please forgive me!"

Although Kang Byung-yo wasn't the strongest in the Nth Room, he definitely had the strongest fighting spirit!
When he went berserk, even the top expert in the Nth Room couldn't subdue him, but Zhan Zhouzhou easily pierced his spirit and energy with a single sword strike.

This incredible thing was too fantastical for this female player; she had only ever seen such plots in terrible movies with a rating of at most 2.8.

What she saw with her own eyes at that moment was beyond her comprehension.

"If you survive one of my sword strikes, I'll let you go."

Zhan Zhouzhou spoke casually, flicking the lightning sword in his hand.

yah~
The sound of electricity rose and fell in an instant.

Everyone only saw a flash of lightning before their eyes, and the female player was charred into a crisp by a bolt of lightning.

This is the difference!

Zhan Zhouzhou scanned the area, and several masked players who were acting suspiciously nearby involuntarily felt intimidated under her sharp gaze, slowly retreating into the crowd.

Not long after, shouts of battle rang out in the distance, and a group of people dressed in matching dark green uniforms broke through the human wall formed by the attackers.

"Liu Qishao?"

Zhan Zhouzhou frowned as she looked at the person charging at the very front.

Is the Kunlun legion commander at the forefront?
Is he really that fierce? At this time, apart from the members of Kunlun, no one knew that Liu Qi had stepped down as the commander of the Kunlun Legion.

"Sister Zhan, you're amazing!" Li Chun skipped over and grabbed Zhan Zhouzhou's arm, hanging from it.

"You're great too."

Zhan Zhouzhou turned to look at her. Li Chun's weight was nothing in her eyes. After all, she was a strong woman who could live with ten times the force of gravity.

"Look at you, you managed to hold out against so many people until I arrived, that's already quite an achievement."

Nearly ten minutes have passed since the Nth Room members began their assault on the lava mountain.

Within those ten minutes, Li Chun, under the cover of the Qidian members and the hundred people sent by Liu Jiale, waited for Zhan Zhouzhou to come to her rescue. It has to be said that this young girl has really improved a lot recently.

Compared to the last time when Li Zheng and his team mobilized to rescue her, Li Chun is now able to chat and laugh with Zhan Zhouzhou after escaping death, which means she has already passed the test in terms of mentality.

"Oh! I almost forgot!" Li Chun remembered something, landed on Zhan Zhouzhou, and ran to the Penglai members gathered together to bow and thank them repeatedly.

"Thank you so much, brothers and sisters, for your help. I'm so sorry to have troubled you all!" She then took out a handful of fur scraps of various sizes from the capsule and handed them to the other person: "These are all tokens of my appreciation. Please accept them. Please take any extras to the brothers and sisters who have fallen in battle!"

These fur scraps were equipment patches she had left over from practicing, ranging in quality from bronze to gold. They were all high-value trait fragments within their respective quality range, making them perfect gifts at this time.

The player leading the Penglai members initially wanted to decline, but upon touching it and seeing the fur attribute on one of the pieces, his eyes widened in surprise.

My heart is excited!
nice one!
As expected of the Qidian Legion, they can casually produce top-quality items that make people envious!

This job was a huge success!
"We were sent here by the guild leader to help out, how could we possibly accept your things?" The leading player seemed to feel guilty, and seeing that he couldn't refuse Li Chun, he took out a roll of thread that was almost invisible to the naked eye and handed it over, saying mysteriously, "I'll trade you this, just don't let our guild leader know, he'll skin me alive!"

"what?"

Li Chun was about to refuse, but when he looked down at the properties of the fine thread, he immediately changed his mind and revealed a bright smile: "Alright, I'll take it as a thank you gift."

"Put it away quickly."

The leader of the players glanced at Zhan Zhouzhou and then said to Li Chun, "Now that you're safe, we won't stay any longer. We need to go back and report to the guild leader."

"Okay, then I won't see you off any further, brothers and sisters. Let's keep in touch when we have time." Li Chun nodded obediently.

Her girl-next-door personality easily wins people's favor.

Two female players from the Penglai Legion, who were a few years older than Li Chun, had come to treat her almost like their younger sister after a brief encounter. Before leaving, they came over to say goodbye with reluctance.

Only after the Penglai group left did Li Chun have time to check on Xiao Zhu's condition.

Like Sakura, Spider-Man is an artificially synthesized organism.

However, her potential is far inferior to Xiaoying's. After being nurtured by Li Chun for a period of time, her strength has reached the upper limit of her bloodline, and it is almost impossible for her to make any further progress.

In the attribute panel, the race name has also changed to: Emerald White Jade Spider.

Its overall strength is more than a hundred times stronger than when it was the Venomous Spider, but its weakness is that its poison attack has been evolved away.

Li Chun was able to escape unscathed in the pursuit battle; the credit for others was only 20%, while Xiao Zhu was the biggest contributor.

Despite her strength, Little Spider was still seriously injured when surrounded by a group of players.

His body, which was as white as jade, was covered with bullet holes, charred, frostbitten, and punctured wounds, making him look quite miserable.

The little spider lay listlessly to one side, its body aching and causing it to lose its spirit.

Li Chun went over and examined it, then comforted it with heartache, "Don't be afraid, I'll get you some medicine now, you'll get better soon."

After saying that, she skillfully took out a large pile of healing items and piled them on the ground. She then selected a blue ointment and applied it to the little spider.

With Zhan Zhouzhou here, no player dares to get close, allowing Li Chun to focus on treating her pet.

Disinfect, apply medicine, apply splints, and wrap bandages.

After ten minutes of work, the little spider was wrapped up like a dumpling, its entire body swollen twice over.

After she finished her work, things settled down around her.

All members of the Nth Room were defeated by Kunlun, Jiutian, and some players who had originally paid their points and were peacefully fishing in the Lava Mountains.

Only a small number of members cleverly disguised themselves and blended into the crowd, waiting for an opportunity to cause trouble.

After Zhan Zhouzhou recognized two of them, the group of people calmed down.

It was at this moment that a certain great demon king finally emerged from seclusion.

Li Zheng led Lu Li and Feng Shan to the Lava Mountain Range, his face cold throughout. After meeting up with Zhan Zhouzhou and the other person, he began a thorough search of the entire Lava Mountain Range.

The main targets are players with names like "Stealing Country" and "Muddy Country," who, with the Eye of Preys' assistance, cannot escape the watchful eye of anyone from either of these countries.

Once they find one, they immediately demand to verify their identity and require them to show their legion page and state their affiliation.

Players from Nth Room, Genesis, or Takamagahara are immediately subjected to a brutal beating, and then, under the pretext of 'demanding compensation,' they are forced to hand over all their valuables.

what?
Why do you ask?
My Qidian Legion lost over fifty men to you. Don't you deserve compensation?
Not giving?

If you don't give it to me, I'll beat you up again until you do!

Unless you jump into the crater and burn yourself, you won't escape its clutches.

This led to players from these three legions, upon seeing Li Zheng and his group from afar, immediately jumping into the volcano and committing suicide without a word...

"Um...aren't we being a little too cruel?"

Lu Li felt a pang of pity. The other side, including Qidian and Penglai, had only killed less than two hundred people, but Li Zheng's revenge had already driven nearly seven hundred people to their deaths...

Moreover, they can only confirm that one of the attackers is the Nth Room, and they cannot be 100% certain about the other organization from the United States.

After all, there's a saying that goes: there are no permanent friends, only permanent interests.

No one can say for sure whether the Nth Room might join forces with Genesis for profit, and that Takamagahara is the legion that suffered an undeserved disaster.

Therefore, there must have been some false positives, and the proportion should be quite large.

But would Li Zheng care?

will not!

Throughout East Asia, South Asia, and Southeast Asia, there is no country whose people Li Zheng trusts the least.

Then nothing beats mud baking.

Stealing from a country can only rank second.

Therefore, Li Zheng's principle at this time is: it is better to wrongly force three thousand people than to let one person go free!
Anyone who bullies my Qidian Legion will not get away with it!

"Cruel? I think we can be even more cruel!"

The aura emanating from him sent chills down the spines of the other legions watching, who secretly rejoiced that they hadn't provoked this menacing figure.

Interestingly, news of Li Zheng's investigation of the three legion members got out, and in just two minutes, it was interpreted as Li Zheng wiping out all the players from the Stealing Kingdom and Muddy Kingdom in the entire Lava Mountain Range.

This resulted in a considerable number of truly innocent people, who could have been safe simply by revealing their identities, immediately jumping into the volcano after meeting Li Zheng and his group...

Until a member of "New World," another major legion that stole the country, launched a suicide attack on Li Zheng because he did not want to die in too much humiliation.

then……

Then the New World Legion also became one of the targets of the investigation.
