Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 565 Elementary Universe (Pseudo)

【you sure? 】

Preys' Eye did not immediately act according to Li Zheng's instructions, but instead repeatedly asked for confirmation.

"Sure!"

I must remind you, sometimes knowing more might not be a good thing. It's better to play dumb and let things slide.

Old Pu offered his earnest advice.

A strange glint flashed in Li Zheng's eyes: "So, what Xu told me before might not have been the truth?"

Most of it is true, or rather... true to him.

The Eye of Preys gives an ambiguous answer, implying that even the 'truth' known by the Void may not be the real truth, but rather the 'truth' as ​​he himself understands it.

In other words, what you think you believe is not actually what you think you believe.

"Help me analyze this!" Li Zheng hesitated for a brief moment, then his eyes became unwavering: "No matter the final outcome, I want to figure out what this so-called Matrix world is all about!"

Okay, as you wish!

Preys' Eye immediately displayed a text message:
【Matrix: A space created artificially, using the most advanced space technology, and even taking some incomplete rules from the universe and integrating them into it, maintaining normal operation with artificial intelligence as the link.

However, the artificial intelligence system has been replaced by a biological consciousness. After being modified by this consciousness, a small part of the Matrix world was divided up and became the 'Trial Grounds'.

...]

Up to this point, the details of the Matrix world were exactly the same as what Li Zheng knew, but what followed completely overturned Li Zheng's worldview.

As a cutting-edge spatial creation of technology, the "Matrix" is already qualified to be classified as a "primitive universe (pseudo)". If its rules can be completed, the Matrix will advance to a "primitive universe".

Note: Elementary cosmic-level treasures will attract the covetous eyes of certain beings, and their attempts to seize them may lead to some degree of disaster.

P.S. These dangers may originate from within the Matrix!

Li Zheng carefully read the last half of the information no less than ten times, and asked, "What does this so-called primary universe... mean?"

Isn't the universe just the universe?

In Li Zheng's education, the universe should be 'unique', so how come a 'primary' grade suddenly appeared?
Who told you there's only one universe? Have you forgotten where you came from?

Li Zheng was slightly taken aback: "I'm from... Earth?"

That's right! You... or rather, your true form comes from Earth. So, where is Earth?

Where is Earth?

This question is a bit profound, and it stumped Li Zheng.

Where else could Earth be?

In the universe!
To be precise, it is located in the western part of the universe, within the Orion Arm of the Milky Way galaxy—the overall location of the third ring of the solar system.

Why didn't you give me your home address too? Did I ask you that? I asked you if you think Earth exists in the universe today?

A single question from Preers' Eye completely opened the door to a new world in Li Zheng's mind.

"You mean... Earth and Planet Blue aren't in the same universe?" A vague memory suddenly flashed through Li Zheng's mind: "Wait... I think I saw the word 'Earth' appear on some channel after entering the Matrix?"

But it's been too long, and I only caught a glimpse of it at the time, so I didn't pay much attention and only have a vague impression. [This is normal; one question can resolve your doubts.]

Q: Why do you think your original body could travel through time?

"Why would my original body travel through time? How would I know?" Li Zheng was dumbfounded. What kind of question was this?
I am just a tool cloned from the original body. How could I possibly know things that the original body cannot understand?

Everything that happens in the world has its inevitable cause. When you understand this, all the answers will appear in your heart.

I am just a pair of incredibly handsome eyes, not a search engine. My job is to offer you some help when necessary, not to be your all-knowing and all-powerful babysitter.

Otherwise, what use would I have for you?!

Li Zheng carefully considered Lao Pu's words several times, and finally almost cursed out, "Damn it! If you don't know, just say you don't know! Why are you being so mysterious?!"

【Hey, I've been spotted. (sticks out tongue)】

Old Pu tried to get away with it by acting cute.

Li Zheng suddenly felt a headache coming on, rubbed his temples, and tried to recall the events carefully.

When he first saw the word 'Earth' appear in the channel chat, he didn't realize what was happening.

Even when the truth was revealed to him beforehand, he couldn't recall this detail.

It was only after being reminded by Lao Pu that he belatedly realized that among this generation of players, there might be a transmigrator from Earth hidden in the trial area of ​​the Matrix World!
Things were getting more and more complicated. Li Zheng tried hard to recall for a long time, but he still couldn't remember who the player was who had mentioned the word 'Earth' in their speech.

"Forget it, since you're a transmigrator, you'll definitely be going to the outer city eventually, right?" Li Zheng put down his hand and looked at the teleportation portal: "Since you'll appear someday, even if you hide in the crowd, with Lao Pu's current abilities, he can still find you!"

As a clone, one is inherently deficient in intelligence.

Li Zheng decided not to make things difficult for himself and to take it one step at a time. Once the car reaches the mountain, there will be a way out, right?

He refused to believe that with the current upper limit of his mental strength, Old Pu wouldn't recognize the transmigrator if he dared to appear in front of him.
The conversation with Old Pu lasted less than a minute, as Miriel was still taking things out of the box.

"Next is this..."

The third box was opened, and Miriel took out a colorful egg, about the size of an ostrich egg.

Li Zheng looked closely and exclaimed, "Patterned eggs? What do you need these for?"

“It’s not just a patterned egg, it’s a patterned egg that’s about to hatch!” Miriel corrected. “Don’t you think we have a limited variety of ingredients? Besides meat, there are only a few fruits and vegetables. This patterned egg can make up for our lack of ingredients.”

“You have such a good thing as a stable, why don’t you make use of it? Chickens lay eggs, eggs hatch chickens, it’s endless!” Miriel said, her eyes starting to gleam.

Li Zheng: "..."

The poor little thing seems to have been ripped off by another shop.

Would they sell you those colored chickens that have retained their reproductive ability?
【Rainbow-colored eggs (about to hatch): Eggs laid by the 'Rainbow Chicken,' a super-extraordinary creature raised in captivity. The meat of the Rainbow Chicken is delicious and mouthwatering, making it a very popular ingredient in the market.

Seeing this, some merchants have come up with a marketing strategy, using the slogan "the chicken lays the egg, and the egg lays the chicken" to sell patterned eggs that are about to hatch.

Little did people know that these patterned eggs had undergone special treatment, and from the moment they were laid by the hen, they lost their ability to reproduce.

Here, Old Pu's text just stops, and you need to turn the page.
