Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 542 Passive Abilities
"Yakumo?"

Seeing the familiar black hood, Li Zheng instantly recognized the person as Yakumo, who had helped him a lot. "Why are you here too?"

"Are you going to keep acting?" Yakumo said coldly. "You're really hiding your true strength. It turns out you're so powerful. You pretended to be a novice in front of me and Yelan. What are you up to?"

"...Huh?" Li Zheng was stunned. So that's what you meant by 'good acting skills'?
He quickly explained, "You've misunderstood, I actually..."

The words were on the tip of his tongue, but he didn't know how to explain them or tell the other party everything that Xu had done.
Putting aside the fact that the two weren't close enough to talk about anything, who would believe that someone would risk their life to pass on all their power to another person?
"What did I misunderstand?" Yakumo's voice carried a hint of self-mockery: "Couldn't keep up the act?"

This batch of players has only been in the Matrix for about a month, right?
Has such a terrifying existence actually been born?

The power that commanded the awe and reverence of all races in the outer city instilled despair in everyone who experienced it.

That was a force that was completely irresistible!
In just one month, it has become so powerful that it can almost sweep through the entire outer city...

Do not!
If he wanted to, not only the outer city, but even the terminal might not be able to stop him.

he……

Shouldn't they be able to escape the Matrix game on their own?
Yakumo's feelings were incredibly complicated. She began to doubt the fact that the myriad races of the outer city had been barely surviving for countless years. What was the purpose of their efforts to survive until now and their constant search for ways to resolve the mental storm?
They can grow to the point where they can fight against the entire outer city in just one month. What are they anyway?
Is it just an accessory?
"No matter what you say, I can only tell you that I haven't lied to you and Ye Lan." Li Zheng smiled bitterly. "Besides, I now have a way to cure unconsciousness. Give me some time, and I will cure your sister as soon as possible."

When Hisa was mentioned, Yakumo's tone instantly turned icy cold: "I'm warning you, stay away from my sister, or I'll fight to the death and make sure you get away with it!"

"..." Li Zheng knew that this was a huge misunderstanding, and no matter what he said now, Yakumo would not believe him. In the end, he sighed, "If that's how you think, there's nothing I can do."

Perhaps only if I can truly cure Hisa in the future will Yakumo change his opinion of me.

From an emotional standpoint, Li Zheng didn't want to lose the first friend he made after arriving in the outer city.

Unfortunately, he can't prove anything now, so he's really suffering in silence.

"I know my strength is like an ant in front of you, but there are some things I'll say even if you crush me to death in a moment." Yakumo pulled back his hood, revealing his stunning face, and looked coldly at Li Zheng: "I don't understand the point of your 'pretending to be weak to deceive others' behavior. I can only use your race's words to describe it: you're fucking idiots!"

"From now on, let's pretend we don't know each other. If you want revenge, go ahead!"

After saying that, Yakumo turned and left the botanical garden without waiting for Li Zheng to refute her.

“Sir, this…should I go after him and explain it to you?” Kanger asked cautiously.

“No need.” Li Zheng took a deep breath and said, “Everyone has their own fate. Besides, how do you explain this to me? Do you know what happened to me? She wouldn’t even listen to my explanation. Even if you knew the truth, would she be willing to believe it?”

"Well then, I'll get back to work." Kanger silently withdrew, having unconsciously placed himself in a position even lower than Li Zheng's, behaving with utmost respect.

"What a fucking bastard!" Li Zheng cursed, returned to his greenhouse, took the handheld computer from Miriel, and began flipping through it at lightning speed.

[Entering quantum reading mode...]

Startup successful...

Go ahead and flip it, flip it as fast as you can, but if Old Putin backs down even a little, I'll consider it a loss!

This was something they had agreed upon beforehand. Li Zheng had Zi Shu make a text translation tool, and Lao Pu was responsible for translating and memorizing all the text. While reviewing the documents, Li Zheng asked Lao Pu, "My current mental strength is enough to raise my strength rating quite high, right? Will you be able to detect data without any barriers from now on?"

【(Awkward!)
All Old Pu can tell you is that you now have a lot of Preer offspring that you can distribute...

"..."

After reading the text Lao Pu provided, Li Zheng remained silent for a few seconds before muttering to himself, "You're such a useless piece of trash!"

【(First stretch today...)
When did you ever dare to call Putin a good-for-nothing?

"Haven't you heard the saying?" Li Zheng asked himself.

【What words? 】

"Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river." Li Zheng's lips curled into a wicked smile: "Never underestimate a young man's potential!"

[(Hiss... He gasps, sucking all the air out of you, suffocating you to death.) This child is terrifying beyond measure; he must not be allowed to live!]

"I didn't expect you to be so sweet at a crucial moment. You're willing to play along with such a lame joke and make me happy." Li Zheng straightened his expression and asked, "Seriously, how many sub-bodies can you create now?"

[Including the ones you sent out before, there are a total of three hundred.]

Three hundred!
If we calculate that one minor realm can give birth to one, then the spiritual power that Xu instilled in him is equivalent to helping him improve by nearly three hundred minor realms.
If we follow the ranking system in the novel, there would be at least thirty major realms, right?
If we take it to an even more exaggerated level, we could use the kind of power ranking system from fantasy novels, where three minor tiers are added, each tier having a great perfection, which equals a major tier...

Doesn't that mean I'm already at the maximum level before even leaving the beginner's village?

How did he leap from the ninth level of Dou Qi to the Great Perfection of Dou Di?
It feels numb when I squeeze it...

You won't know until you make the connection, and once you do, you'll be shocked.

Although he couldn't use the spiritual power that Xu had given him yet, the treasure was already in his hands, and it was only a matter of time before he could cash it out and spend it. For a moment, Li Zheng didn't know whether to be secretly delighted or apprehensive.

"Can you even understand it if you flip through it like this?" Miriel hesitated for a long time before finally speaking her mind.

Li Zheng stared intently at the handheld computer, his fingers rapidly flipping through the pages, and answered in a moment, "Yes."

Anyway, it's Old Pu who's in charge of memorizing, so what does it have to do with me?
However, when Li Zheng calmed down and recalled the process of flipping through the book, he was horrified to find that he had actually memorized it all!

All the content was exactly as it appeared, or rather, every single moment was etched into his mind as if it were engraved there. He could retrieve the content he needed simply by recalling it.

"Is this also... a wonderful application of mental power?"

Li Zheng thought to himself, the spiritual power left behind by Xu was too vast for him to use actively, but some passive abilities seemed to be unaffected.
In this case...

"Miriel, try using the 'Ten Thousand Whips Return to Origin' technique on me. I want to verify a hypothesis."
