Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 511 They all have to die!!!
After the announcements were published item by item, the rest were mostly small awards, and the prizes were mostly consolation prizes.

The noise on the world channel gradually subsided, no longer as loud as it had been moments before.

Li Zheng's attention shifted; although the announcement was finished, the information on his end didn't stop.

[Player Li Zheng has met the requirements to enter the outer city and will be forcibly transferred in five minutes. Please be prepared.]

[Player Li Zheng has been detected to possess more than one outer city pass. Please select one pass for registration as soon as possible; otherwise, the system will randomly select one for use.]

[WARNING: Entering the outer city will lock the personal space's visibility function. Areas outside the designated area cannot be used as residences. Please be aware of this beforehand.]

[WARNING: Upon entering the outer city, the system panel function and all data-related conveniences will be disabled. You may experience discomfort during this period, which is normal. Please do not panic.]

……

"Is it so sudden?"

The sudden news that he was being forced to go to the outer city caught Li Zheng off guard.

The terminal's rapid actions gave him the feeling that it had all been planned by the terminal, as if it didn't want him to continue living comfortably.

Although he had long known that he would eventually enter the outer city, and he was prepared to go there.

But when that moment arrived, he wasn't as eager as he had imagined for the unknown outer city area.

He even considered staying in the Matrix, where at least his strength was sufficient to handle most dangers and emergencies.

【04:59】

With the five-minute countdown beginning, Li Zheng knew he couldn't delay any longer and quickly opened his private message list to start editing a message.

First, I sent a group notification to my friends, informing them that I was going to the outer city.

Ignoring the private messages sent back by everyone, he then went to Yan Guang and Xiao Siyuan to retrieve the fire and water-type items he had won in the fishing competition.

He then transferred the position of commander of the Qidian Legion to Xiao Siyuan, entrusting the legion to the veteran Xiao, who had a military career. Li Zheng was most at ease with this arrangement.

Finally, after carefully putting away the stove that had returned with him, he recounted the incident to Miriel.

Miriel didn't react to this; her goal was simply to enter the outer city.

But then she remembered something and reminded Li Zheng: "If we suddenly have to leave, what about the translation props we agreed on?"

Yes!

Hearing her say that, Li Zhengcai remembered that he hadn't received the rewards for participating in the mutant extermination event yet!
Zishu said he had to go to the outer city and return before he could give the items to him, and that this process would take about three days.

Only one day has passed, and I am about to head to the outer city. Without a translation tool, I will definitely encounter many inconveniences when I get there.

After all, the number of races, cultures, and languages ​​in the outer city is far greater than one can imagine, and it's hard to know how long it will take to fully adapt.

"Let's take one step at a time..."

In this situation, Li Zheng is helpless. He can't contact Zi Shu and can't tell her about his current state.

I can only hope that the other party has a way of knowing that I am about to go to the outer city.

Otherwise, we'd suffer a huge loss!

At this moment, Li Zheng received a private message from Zhan Zhouzhou: "What's going on? Why are we suddenly going to the outer city? Wasn't it supposed to be seven days later?"

Li Zheng scratched his head and smiled wryly: "How would I know? Just after the announcement ended, the terminal suddenly said that I met the conditions for entering the outer city and forced me to go there."

How could he have foreseen such an uncontrollable factor?
Zhan Zhouzhou quickly sent another message: "Okay, I'll go with you too. As we agreed before, you use scroll number '902' to meet at the Gravity Research Institute."

"No problem," Li Zheng replied. "Are you in a good condition to travel to the outer city?"

At the moment the event ended, Zhan Zhouzhou was still in a weakened state due to overuse of sword energy.

Based on Li Zheng's own situation, it can be inferred that the terminal has not made any adjustments to them, and Zhan Nvxia may now have difficulty even moving her fingers.

Zhan Zhouzhou: "It's not a big problem."

Li Zheng: "Yeah, as long as you're confident. We'll most likely be in different areas when we get there, so be careful."

Zhan Zhouzhou: "You should worry about yourself! Anyway, I need to make some preparations. See you in the outer city."

"See you in the outer city."

Li Zheng breathed a sigh of relief after closing the private message page. He noticed that Liu Qishao's profile picture was lit up, indicating that he had sent a private message at some point.

After clicking, there was only one sentence: "Several military officers in Kunlun with higher ranks than me temporarily stripped me of my position. Don't blame Guan Hu; he was just following orders."

Don't have too high expectations for the cooperation we agreed on before the event started. I suspect that someone from Kunlun has colluded with Nihong's side.

I'll try my best to mediate; they won't dare to go too far against you.

"Fuck you!"

After reading the private message sent by Liu Qishao, Li Zheng cursed an extremely vulgar curse in frustration. He could sense the helplessness in Liu Qishao's words.

This shows that there are many things within the Kunlun Legion that even Liu Qishao cannot make decisions about.

"There's not enough time. Otherwise, I could have killed a few people as a warning before heading to the outer city," Li Zheng thought to himself, his mind in turmoil.

If it weren't for the sudden need to go to the outer city, he would have liked to work with Liu Qi to eliminate all the unstable factors within Kunlun in one fell swoop!
The main reason was that he didn't expect there to be someone above Liu Qishao within Kunlun, and he had never heard Liu Qishao mention him before.

What's even more outrageous is that some of these people are suspected of colluding with the Muddy Kingdom.

This may seem unbelievable, but upon closer inspection, the Matrix is, after all, a place detached from the original society.

Nothing is surprising here.

As long as there are enough interests to back it up, forget about vague patriotism; some people will even sell their souls!

A chaotic and unrestrained environment is most conducive to the growth of ambition.

Li Zheng gritted his teeth and thought for a full minute before finally deciding to leave Qidian some confidence.

He took out Sephiroth's core and the teleportation item 'Star Pirate' that could ignore restrictions, and sent them all to Fengshan.

Fengshan quickly received what Li Zheng had sent and replied in shock: "Holy crap! Old Li, are you out of your mind? You'd be better off keeping this for yourself!"

"It's alright, I still have two more items, enough to protect myself. Once we get to the outer city, teleportation items like those used by space pirates will most likely lose their original effectiveness, so leaving them in the Matrix is ​​the best option."

Li Zheng was still worried and emphasized his thoughts: "You must use this fire-type quasi-king core yourself. If anyone attacks Qidian... no, if anyone is found to be harming our Dragon Kingdom players, do not hesitate to take action!"

After a while, Fengshan replied with a message: "Leave it to me."

With the assurance received, Li Zheng breathed a slight sigh of relief, feeling a little more at ease.

"No, it's still not enough."

After frowning and thinking for a moment, he opened Misaka Tsuchimuro's profile picture and sent him a private message telling him to only listen to Xiao Siyuan from now on.

Although Liu Qi had initially negotiated the alliance with this guy, the sudden change in Kunlun caused Li Zheng's trust in the legion to collapse instantly.

It's more reassuring to keep certain powers firmly in the hands of our own people.

"By the way, you should take your sister back. You used the excuse of requesting protection to leave her with me as a hostage, but your real intention was to have me protect her. Do you think I can't see through that?"

Li Zheng sent a message to Misaka Tsuchimon: "Although I don't know what the problem is between you two, you are family after all. If you can reconcile, then you should." Although Li Zheng didn't know the truth about the relationship between Sarutobi Amakura and Misaka Tsuchimon, he could guess most of it just by imagining it.

Families with a little power like theirs are, in the end, nothing more than half-siblings.

It's everywhere now.

In fact, as long as you open your heart and talk frankly, all conflicts can be resolved in the end.

If the situation can't be resolved, it won't really escalate to a life-or-death situation.

Li Zheng originally didn't want to get involved in this mess, but with his departure imminent, he somehow remembered the emotions he had seen in Sarutobi Uroku that day, and suddenly felt a pang of pity.

【01:29】

With less than ninety seconds left before heading to the outer city, Li Zheng ignored Misaka Tsuchimon's thoughts, closed the private chat page, and mentally checked off any unfinished plans.

"Oh right, and the Bloodthirsty Demon Blade!"

Based on the intelligence analysis obtained previously, it is very likely that the 'disassemble' function cannot be used in the outer city.

Having lost this trump card, it won't be so easy for Li Zheng to control this evil blade again. Even if he keeps it in his capsule residence, he won't feel at ease.

Who knows if this broken knife will suddenly jump out and stab me?

Even if it can't get out, I can't stand it causing trouble inside!
There is only one way to solve this problem once and for all and eliminate future troubles.

That means taking advantage of the moment to dismantle it and turn the Bloodthirsty Demon Blade into the materials used in its initial forging.

This means losing a weapon with high potential for growth, which is a bit of a shame.

If only there were a way to completely erase the personality of this knife...

Ok?
Li Zheng's heart stirred, and he released the Demon Blade Thirst. The bewitching blood light illuminated the surroundings, turning everything crimson, and a faint smell of blood filled the air.

'Master, who are we going to chop down this time?'

The Bloodthirsty Demon Blade was extremely active, showing no sign of having any intention of devouring its master.

Li Zheng had seen through this little trick long ago.

During the fishing competition, it didn't hesitate at all when it turned on itself, and there was even a hint of excitement and anticipation in its eyes.

This reaction further confirmed Li Zheng's suspicions.

This knife is holding back its energy, single-mindedly waiting for the day it will devour its master!

"I won't chop anyone this time, but I'll show you a big treasure!" Li Zheng smiled kindly, then suddenly took out another prop and covered the knife with lightning speed.

"What amazing treasure?" Demon Blade Thirst cried out in alarm, "Master, what are you doing?"

The sudden change startled it, and the blade shook violently, trying to break free from Li Zheng's grasp.

"Don't move!" Li Zheng threatened it in a chilling tone, "or I'll dismantle you right now!"

The 'Disassemble' function is absolutely the nemesis of the Bloodthirsty Demon Blade. Upon hearing this, it immediately dared not move, pitifully sending out its thoughts: 'Master, I am utterly loyal to you, how could you bear to treat me like this?'

"Of course I know you are loyal to me, otherwise I wouldn't have kept you here until now, wouldn't I?" Li Zheng sent back a thought, while his hands subtly adjusted the helmet-like prop.

[Memory Release Device!]

It's an incredibly powerful item that can copy or erase memories, but it's only classified as a diamond due to the limitations of the materials used in its creation, making it too easily destroyed.

Otherwise, even if they are classified as king-level, it would be well-deserved!
"So what are you doing now?" Demon Blade Thirst for Blood pretended to tremble, trying to get away with it.

'Nothing much, just getting you insurance.'

Li Zheng transmitted his thoughts, and his hand had already adjusted the memory release device to the stripping effect, and then he suddenly activated it!
At the same time, he was prepared to dismantle the demonic blade immediately if it resisted.

hum!
The memory release device vibrated, and an inexplicable force instantly penetrated deep into the blade, piercing the depths of the consciousness within the Bloodthirsty Demon Blade.

Memories accumulated over countless years were stirred up, and consciousness gradually descended into chaos.

The Demon Blade, thirsting for blood, instinctively struggled, knowing that if it didn't fight back, it might really be over.

But just as it mobilized the energy within the blade, preparing to kill the wielder, it clearly heard two words.

"break down!"

In an instant, the energy it had mobilized dissipated, and it could sense that an extremely terrifying being had taken notice of it as those two words were uttered!
As long as the knife-wielder decides to 'disintegrate,' he himself will die without a burial place!
how many years?

Whether it was because the device triggered its memories or not, the Bloodthirsty Demon Blade seemed to have returned to a long time ago.

At that time, it had not yet been invented; it was just an ordinary longsword.

At least, that's how it appears from the outside.

It kills different lives every day, feeling the different scents of blood sliding down its body.

Some were scalding hot, some were chilly.

But without exception, they are all things it likes.

At that time, although it was naive, it was happy.

The first person to wield the knife treated it very well, taking it with him every day to fight against powerful enemies, and gently wiping away any remaining bloodstains after the battle.

Perhaps even the person wielding the knife didn't know that a special life was being nurtured inside the blade in their hand...

Later, the first person to wield the knife stopped cleaning its blade, because it was always spotless after each kill of a powerful enemy.

It absorbed all the blood; it wanted to be born quickly.

Only by being born can you become stronger!

at last!

After an unknown amount of time, it finally gave birth to its first complete idea.

However, the man with the knife had already found something stronger to replace him.

That knife was sharper and harder.

However, it also has its drawbacks, namely that it's not as clean as itself!

The person wielding the knife would gently wipe away the blood from the blade every day, just as they had always done.

At that time, it thought it was being replaced because the knife wielder could no longer enjoy the pleasure of cleaning the knife.

Unfortunately, it has never been used since it was shelved.

Until one day, it was abandoned under cold stares.

Like a piece of trash, it was thrown into a filthy place filled with twisted energy!

From that moment on, a second complete thought emerged within its consciousness—

All those wielding knives
All must die! ! !
