Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 505 Summation
Ultimately, after Li Zheng's reasoned argument (crossed out), a mutant rabbit he named Delicious Fruit Rabbit sold for the high price of two Platinum-level power cores!

A living, ordinary creature that's not even at the elite level (Gold rank) can be sold for such a price. If this were known to the outside world, anyone who didn't call it a profiteer would have no conscience!

However, Li Zheng felt that his price was still a bit low.

It's worth noting that although the Delicious Fruit Rabbit is just a common creature of the Gold level, the fruit on its body can grow periodically.

This is a goose that lays golden eggs, so its value is definitely on the higher side.

Most importantly, the Delicious Fruit Rabbit is a breed exclusively monopolized by Li Zheng. If Zhan Zhouzhou hadn't been so familiar with him, would he have gotten two platinum-level power cores?

There are no doors!

After Zhan Zhouzhou paid the payment without hesitation, Li Zhengxian went to the other party's capsule residence to help build a beast pen, and received a handling fee of one hundred grams of vibranium.

Zhan Zhouzhou had bought several identity cards from Li Zheng, and she had also used methods to kill Xu Lina, so the capsule residence had been expanded to 15*15*15, making it easy to convert into a minimum standard size animal pen.

The animal pen will take some time to build, and in the meantime, the Delicious Fruit Rabbit will have to be temporarily housed with Li Zheng.

"Wait, where are you going?"

Zhan Zhouzhou watched helplessly as Li Zheng grabbed the rabbit she had chosen and headed upstairs right in front of her, and quickly reached out to stop him.

"What else can we do? Spay or neuter it!"

Li Zheng said matter-of-factly, "You already have a livestock pen, who knows if you'll catch some rabbit and breed it with it? If it produces the next generation of delicious fruit rabbits, wouldn't I be at a huge loss?"

"what???"

Zhan Zhouzhou was completely bewildered: "So I spent a fortune to buy a eunuch rabbit?"

The female warrior never expected that the truth behind her agreeing to that price, which she considered outrageous from her perspective, was exactly what Li Zheng had anticipated.

If she hadn't been secretly breeding the next generation of rabbits, how could she have paid so readily?
"Hey~ what are you saying?" Li Zheng wasn't happy with what he was hearing and retorted confidently, "I call this after-sales service, what do you know?"

As he spoke, he walked past Zhan Zhouzhou and prepared to go upstairs.

The female warrior behind him said, "I mean, is this really funny? We're almost at the outer city, and you're still wary of me?"

This was something they had agreed upon; they would travel together when heading to the outer city.

Logically speaking, raising the next generation of rabbits would take a considerable amount of time. Just considering the gestation period plus the juvenile stage of the next generation of rabbits, even with the special rules in the matrix, it would still take at least two months, right?
Two months...

Li Zheng and the others had already gone to the outer city, so it seemed that they really couldn't affect him?
He tilted his head and thought for a moment, feeling that Zhan Zhouzhou's words did make sense, but he insisted on his own opinion: "No, rules are rules. Doing business requires following the rules, otherwise who would want to do business with me?"

If a person's principles and bottom lines are constantly being broken, then that person will not last long in any field.

Especially when doing business.

Haven't you seen those countless hot pot restaurants that are having 50% or even 30% off when they open? They're packed every day, and their staff can't keep up with the demand.

Once the event ended, business immediately became so slow that people wanted to close the shop right away, and passersby didn't even have the desire to go in and try anything.

"Hey you..."

Zhan Zhouzhou couldn't stop him, so she could only watch helplessly as Li Zheng took the rabbit she had chosen upstairs.

She thought about it for a moment, but couldn't stand it, so she lifted her foot and followed him.

She had to supervise Li Zheng as he performed the spaying surgery on the rabbit; who knew if this wicked guy would secretly cause trouble?

Li Zheng carried the rabbit all the way to the sixth floor, where it was empty except for a piece of equipment that looked like a metal bed.

"This is... a medical bed?"

Zhan Zhouzhou was astonished when she saw the information on the device. Just how many other treasures did Li Zheng have that she hadn't discovered yet?
This is such a treasure trove!

This is a true gem!
"Ah."

Li Zheng secured the rabbit to the medical bed, then stared blankly at the rabbit lying sprawled out on its back.

Zhan Zhouzhou waited for a long time but didn't see him make a move. Curious, she asked him, "What are you doing? Why aren't you starting yet? My animal pen is almost finished being renovated."

Even the smallest animal pen can be modified much faster than Li Zheng's own.

Li Zheng hesitated for two seconds, then asked Zhan Nvxia very seriously, "Do you know how to perform sterilization surgery on animals?"

Zhan Zhouzhou: "???"

Is the way you're speaking even human language?

As a recent college graduate, if I hadn't been caught by the matrix, I would probably still be an intern at some company. Do you think a recent graduate from a non-medical major would be capable of performing sterilization surgery on animals?
And you excitedly grabbed the rabbit and ran up, but you don't even know how to get a vasectomy. Is that how you act?
"I said... since you don't know how, does that mean my rabbit can avoid being spayed/neutered?" Zhan Zhouzhou asked with a hint of hope.

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Li Zheng immediately said, "Impossible! As a qualified and conscientious businessman, I must ensure that you handle the after-sales service!"

"You wait!"

After saying that, Li Zheng ran all the way to the Endless Ocean to find Xiao Siyuan, asked him to give the things to Lin Fengjiao, and then took Xiao, an orthopedic doctor, back to the sixth floor of the capsule residence.

"..."

Xiao Siyuan stared at the rabbit sprawled out on its back for a long time with a complicated expression: "So you dragged me here in such a hurry just to have this thing spayed?"

"Yes!" Li Zheng nodded.

"And it's a male rabbit, too?" Old Xiao's face turned darker at a visible speed.

"Yes!" Li Zheng nodded again.

"Hiss... Huff..." Xiao Siyuan took a deep breath, adjusted his unbalanced mindset, and asked with a forced smile, "You know I'm an orthopedic surgeon, right?"

Before Li Zheng could answer, Lao Xiao exploded: "If you're going to do this kind of surgery, at least find someone with the right expertise! Even an obstetrician or gynecologist would do! Or even a urologist if all else fails!"

Li Zheng didn't speak, but held up one finger.

"What do you mean?" Old Xiao's expression changed immediately.

"A bottle of gold-grade gene enhancement potion, you can choose the type yourself!" Li Zheng said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Siyuan became enraged, his face turning hostile: "You're trampling on my dignity as a doctor! You don't respect me! I'm an orthopedic surgeon, I'm here to treat people..."

"Two bottles!"

"Deal!" Xiao Siyuan instantly grabbed the two fingers Li Zheng held up and said righteously, "I'm not a shameless person. I'm just temporarily putting aside my dignity to help my friend. I'll pick it up again after I finish this surgery."

Zhan Zhouzhou and Li Zheng glanced at him sideways, their faces full of contempt.

Xiao Siyuan's face flushed, and he emphasized, "I'm really not doing this for that little bit of profit. I just want to experience what it's like to be a veterinarian."

"Alright, alright, hurry up." Li Zheng didn't want to play along with his antics anymore and urged him on.

Xiao Siyuan then stopped joking and began operating the medical bed with practiced ease. Li Zheng's medical bed was of a lower grade and less functional than the one Xiao Siyuan had made from the blacksmith's shop.

However, a simple egg removal surgery is perfectly sufficient.

Over here, three people are cracking eggs for a rabbit in a relaxed atmosphere filled with laughter.

Little did they know how much pressure the disappearance of the three highest-ranking members of the Qidian Legion from the public eye put on some people!

……

"Has Li Zheng and the others not shown up yet?"

In the Nth Room's exclusive transit space, Cheng Tianpu asked a player who was a "special correspondent" next to him.

This special correspondent was invited from the Nth Room case, and his responsibility was to provide information to Sung Chun-pu through his privileges.

"No."

The player glanced at his live stream and saw the portal entrance to the Endless Ocean region: "To be precise, he appeared in the Endless Ocean for a very short time and called away someone named Xiao Siyuan. Now he, Xiao Siyuan, and Zhan Zhouzhou are all in the transit space."

Special correspondents were unable to broadcast live footage from the transit area.

Strictly speaking, if this player wasn't a member of the Nth Room, he wouldn't even be able to enter the transit space.

Upon hearing this answer, Cheng Tianpu became anxious, pacing back and forth: "What exactly are they planning? Why is it taking so long?"

Could it be that my actions just now angered Li Zheng, and they were discussing how to retaliate against the Nth Room after the event?

Isn't it?

Killing someone during an event doesn't result in actual death, and Li Zheng has already vented his anger through subsequent revenge. Given his current status, it would be petty of him to bring the grudges from the event outside.

but……

It's hard to say...

People's thoughts are inherently unpredictable; otherwise, they wouldn't bother wearing masks to disguise themselves.

Isn't it just that they're worried Qidian will recognize them and take revenge after the event?
Unexpectedly, those people somehow discovered Jiang Bingyao's identity, leading to the exposure of the entire legion.

“Captain, if you’re really worried, before my interview ends, I can go to the Endless Ocean and tell Qidian about our desire for peace,” the player couldn’t help but say.

"Seek peace?"

Cheng Tianpu paused in his pacing, went over the idea in his mind, and then asked with some worry, "Will it work?"

If we seek peace now, will the other side agree?

First, he slaughtered several members of the other person's family, and then went to them and said he could apologize.
Damn it!

It doesn't seem very feasible at all...

"How will you know if it will work if you don't try?" The reporter player in the Nth Room glanced at his interview time limit. He had already used his interview rights twice for this matter, and now he had one minute left.

"There's an old saying in the Dragon Kingdom: every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt its debtor. If you, the leader, don't seek peace this time, once the event is over and Qidian wants to retaliate, you, as the leader of the Nth Room Legion and the one who gave the orders, will be the first person targeted for retaliation."

Seeing that Cheng Tianpu was still hesitating, the player couldn't help but offer another word of advice. Ten seconds passed in the blink of an eye, and if he kept dawdling, he would have to ask for the third interview.

"Fine! Then let's settle for peace!"

Cheng Tianpu stopped pacing back and forth, finally making up his mind.

"Do you need me to go? Special correspondents are practically invincible during events, so I'm not afraid they'll take their anger out on me."

"No, your second interview is almost up, isn't it? There's no need to waste time on this. I'll send someone else."

Cheng Tianpu shook his head; he had better people for negotiations.

"Okay, then I'll head out now."

As soon as he finished speaking, the reporter player disappeared from the transit space and returned to the matrix to continue being a streamer.

Cheng Tianpu stood there pondering for a long time before calling out in the legion channel, "Zu'er, come see me."

Soon, a young woman who looked somewhat like him, with a hot figure, a seductive aura, and dressed scantily, came up to him: "Dad, you were looking for me?"

Yes, the person who came is Cheng Zuer, Cheng Tianpu's biological daughter, who just turned eighteen this year.

Whether at school, nightclubs, or his company, Joey Yung is always the center of attention. Her beautiful face and her youthful yet alluring and sexy aura undoubtedly fulfill many men's fantasies of women who are both beautiful and seductive.

Most importantly, in a country where artificial beauty is rampant, Joey Yung has never had a single surgical procedure.

It's all thanks to nature that it grows up like this!

Don't let Joey Yung's age of eighteen fool you; she's already a seasoned player in the dating scene, having "seen" far more men than her peers.

Her first man was Cheng Tianlang, Cheng Tianpu's younger brother, and her uncle by seniority...

"you……"

Cheng Tianpu glanced at his biological daughter and frowned deeply. If he hadn't secretly done a paternity test, he wouldn't have dared to admit that she was his biological daughter.

Sometimes, when he saw her, even he, as her father, couldn't help but have some wicked thoughts.

Fortunately, this time the trait that I hate most about my daughter can finally be put to use. Let such a beauty negotiate with Qidian. I don't believe those people won't soften their hearts!

"Go to the Endless Ocean and find the people from the Qidian Legion. Tell them that we from the Nth Room are willing to apologize for the recent conflict. If possible, we are willing to make some compensation and turn hostility into friendship with the Qidian Legion!"

"That's it?"

Cheng Zuer twisted her slender waist, her eyes flashing with a captivating light that made even Cheng Tianpu's heart race under her gaze.

“This shouldn’t be a problem for you. As for the terms of the negotiation… we can offer up to five extraordinary blueprints!” Cheng Tianpu explained some details. In his eyes, his daughter personally taking charge would have no problem persuading Li Zheng.

It really doesn't work...

It's not unacceptable to seduce Li Zheng.

Sung Chun-pu believes that no man in the world can resist his daughter!

Unless that man is gay!
Cheng Zuer remembered the general conditions, raised her delicate eyebrows, and said with a bewitching air, "Leave it to me."

She turned around and walked gracefully toward the endless ocean.

Along the way, the Nth Room members, who were under a freeze, all stared at her with lustful looks on their faces.

Cheng Zuer was fortunate that her family was not from the Xiang Kingdom; otherwise, if so many hungry wolves had been replaced by Indians, it would have been difficult to guarantee that she and her father would not have been completely devoured.

After all, in the eyes of people in that country, they are capable of doing things that cross the line of human decency!
