Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 541 Good acting skills
Based on the information provided by Luo Le, Li Zheng deduced that if he wanted to travel to Block 7 by following the conventional teleportation method, the teleportation fee would be an exorbitant price that was unacceptable to him!

"So... are there any skilled manufacturers or experts in prop modification in or around Block 903?"

Unable to go to Block 7, Li Zheng had to settle for second best and look for someone similar to a blacksmith in the vicinity.

“That depends on how high a level you need.” Basil searched his memory: “If your requirements aren’t too high, there is a master in 950 District who is quite good at prop modification. However… her fees are very expensive. No matter what level of prop you are modifying, the starting price is 10,000 red crystals.”

Ten thousand red crystals, is that even the starting price?

Is this guy obsessed with money?

Li Zheng immediately abandoned the idea of ​​going to see this so-called master, but in the 950 block...

Isn't that where Zhan Zhouzhou is?
"How many portals do I need to go through to get to Block 950 from here?" Li Zheng thought that since it would be difficult to resolve the issue of the Lampholder's Mark in a short time, it would be better to find Zhan Zhouzhou first.

In any case, given his current condition, having more people around him, especially an expert like Zhan Zhouzhou, would certainly improve his safety considerably.

"Are you going to find that modification master?" Basil looked at Li Zheng: "Excuse me for being frank, but with the few rare items you have, it will be difficult to earn the starting price for her to modify your items in a short period of time."

"I'm just going to visit a friend, that modification master..." Li Zheng smiled wryly, "I can't afford to hire him."

Is it just to visit a friend?
Basil thought for a moment and said, "I'll take you, but I'll have to finish my work first, so I might not be free until tomorrow morning."

"And you'd better make arrangements for the three of them. Each additional person means an extra teleportation fee, and it's not cheap to get from here to 950 Street."

Li Zheng turned his head to look. Basil was talking about the three Kota brothers. Li Zheng didn't want to take them with him either. After thinking for a moment, he had an idea.

"Yes, I'll find them something to do."

Just then, a piercing alarm suddenly sounded in the botanical garden. Li Zheng and Luo Le were caught off guard and startled by the sound, so they couldn't help but shrink back.

Basil complained, "I've told Grandpa so many times not to ring the doorbell like that, but he just won't listen."

Noisy!
Li Zheng was taken aback: "Is this a doorbell?"

If Basil hadn't said anything, he would have thought it was an air raid siren!

It sounded exactly like the air raid sirens he used to hear during air raid drills in cities when he was on Earth.

For a moment, he felt like he was back on Earth, and he almost instinctively looked for an emergency exit.

"Grandpa lives nearby, let him open the door." Basil shook his head helplessly and didn't say anything more.

Li Zheng walked out of the greenhouse and looked towards the entrance. Kanger opened the gate of the botanical garden, and there were many people standing outside.

Judging by the number of people, the alley outside is completely blocked.

Seeing this, Li Zheng suddenly understood.

These people came for him!

"What brings you esteemed guests to my humble botanical garden?" Kanger's old legs were trembling, and he managed to utter a complete sentence with great difficulty.

He recognized everyone outside the door. In the past, he could only catch a glimpse of them from afar. He had never seen such a grand sight of these people gathered at his doorstep.
"Old man, I'm not here to see you, get out of the way!"

One of the burly men, who looked like a bear, gently pushed Kanger's frail body, sending him flying several meters, nearly crashing into the wall of a greenhouse.

Kanger was furious but dared not speak out. He got up from the ground and cowered in a corner.

At this moment, everyone outside rushed in all at once, with a menacing air.

Several of them immediately fixed their gazes on Li Zheng upon entering, their eyes flashing with greed and a strong desire to curry favor. "What are you doing here?" Li Zheng's eyes darted around, and he cautiously ran over, helping Kanger up with his hand. "How can you be so rude to an old man?"

Looking at his lifelike expression, someone who didn't know the situation would think he and Kanger were very close.

"I'm fine, I'm fine..." Kanger was supported by Li Zheng, and showed a brief look of fear and trepidation. Then he forced himself to calm down and patted Li Zheng's hand repeatedly: "The gentlemen were just a little hasty in their actions. They didn't mean it."

"But you can't just go around like that without any restraint, can you?" Li Zheng was very indignant, glaring angrily at the people who had broken in.

The intruders were all equipped with state-of-the-art translators, so they could understand everything Li Zheng said.

A hint of doubt flashed in the eyes of a few people. How could someone who could release such a powerful aura have such a simple mind?
Could this all be an act?
They decided to test the waters again.

After exchanging glances for a moment, one of them pushed the bear-man out of the crowd, making him face Li Zheng directly.

"What?" Li Zheng was furious. "You still want to bully the weak?"

"Kid, your bear grandpa will teach you a lesson today." The bear-man stretched his muscles, his joints cracking, and grinned maliciously, saying, "In the outer city, just like in the wilderness, it's all about the survival of the fittest!"

"You are seeking death!"

Li Zheng was furious and suddenly channeled his spiritual power, creating a gust of wind around him.

Although he had tried his best to suppress the output of his mental energy, even the slightest leak of his extremely concentrated mental energy was enough to make these intruders tremble with fear.

Seeing Li Zheng's attitude of "we'd rather die together," the few guys who wanted to observe and test the waters couldn't sit still any longer and quickly ran out to smooth things over.

"Misunderstandings are all misunderstandings!"

“Bauer, you go back first. Let us talk to this newcomer.”

"Please calm down, sir. Bauer did not mean to offend you. Please withdraw your spiritual power."

"Yes, yes, let's withdraw our spiritual power first..."

These people were unsure whether Li Zheng's attitude was genuine or not, but Li Zheng's ridiculously strong mental power was something they absolutely could not afford to offend. If Li Zheng were pushed to the limit and went berserk, every one of them would be a sinner in the outer city.

They could tell that Li Zheng himself couldn't suppress that powerful mental force, so they dared not continue gambling, because losing would mean utter ruin.

"I don't want to talk to you, get out of here!" Li Zheng was like a hothead, full of hostility towards these people.

"Okay, okay, we'll leave, we'll leave right now!"

Those men, all smiles, dragged Bauer and several others dressed as villains away.

As quickly as it comes, it goes as quickly as it comes.

In the blink of an eye, these people had vanished without a trace, as if they had never been there.

"M-My lord, you can let me go now." Kanger trembled like a leaf. He was closest to Li Zheng, and he felt Li Zheng's mental power most deeply.

It was a fear from the depths of his soul that made him involuntarily want to kneel down and worship Li Zheng.

If Li Zheng hadn't forcibly supported him, this old Tengluo tribesman would have already knelt down.

"Good acting."

Just as Li Zheng released Kanger, another person walked in from outside, looking at Li Zheng with amusement.
