Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 576 Intimidating Sharpness!

"If a single super-god-level treasure chest can yield something as outrageous as a Bodhi tree seed, and the system upgrade will release two more super-god-level treasure chests, does that mean I can get two more items worth at least the Bodhi tree seed before the system upgrade?"

Li Zheng looked at the task prompts displayed in front of him, pondered for a moment, and shook his head. He had only just drawn his first super god-level treasure chest, so it was too presumptuous to have such thoughts now.

Who knows, maybe the later Super God Chests will contain items of slightly lower value but in greater quantities?

It's not impossible.

To be honest, Li Zheng had considered trying his luck and finding a way to resolve his mental problems by opening a treasure chest.

However, he rejected that idea immediately upon it.

What you get from the treasure chest is completely random; to put it bluntly, it depends on the mood of our system.

If someone is in a bad mood, and then they have to pay real money for quality every day, wouldn't they be at a loss?

Of course, Li Zheng would never attribute all of this to bad luck...

Even though he has a clear understanding of his own face.

"The super-god-level treasure chest isn't something you can just draw whenever you want. It's been over a month and I've only just gotten the first one. At this rate... wouldn't it take almost three more months to upgrade the system?"

After doing this calculation, Li Zheng felt somewhat helpless.

The quality of the treasure chests I draw every day is too random. If I could reduce the lowest quality chests I can get, the leveling speed might be faster than expected.

Or...

Should we find another cheat program to help us?
Isn't that man surnamed Feng blessed with good luck?
Then let's make the most of him and bring him to the outer city as soon as possible. It seems like a good idea to periodically refresh his blessing buff.
"If I hadn't foreseen those unforeseen events that would lead to the creation of a dedicated 'colony' for the players on Aquamarine, why would I have been so cautious as to leave Fengshan and the others in the Matrix?!"

As it turns out, sometimes worrying too much is really unnecessary, otherwise the daily blessing buff would arrive on time now, right?
"Ugh……"

Li Zheng sighed, looked up at the sky, and thought, "Life is never smooth sailing. Isn't it normal for things to go wrong most of the time?"

Now all I can do is wait for the task that Zhan Zhouzhou received, which requires a regression matrix, to be unlocked soon. Once that's done, I can just go to Street 4 and find Feng.

"I wonder how the Qidian Legion is doing now. The departure of Zhan Zhouzhou and me, two top combatants, is undoubtedly a blow to the Qidian Legion, which is mostly composed of novice players. The legion's ranking should have dropped from first place, right?"

Bored, Li Zheng started to let his mind wander.

The portal was rarely used during the day, and even less likely to be used at night, giving him plenty of time to waste.

"I wonder if the trouble with Kunlun has been resolved yet. With Liu Qishao's abilities, it shouldn't be a difficult matter."

"...Speaking of which, now that Qidian has fallen from its position as the number one legion, will some people with ulterior motives guess that Zhan Zhouzhou and I are no longer in the Matrix?"

The Legion Ranking refresh mechanism only considers the strongest creature defeated by members of the legion that day. However, the number of creatures each person encounters each day is mostly determined by their own strength. Given Fengshan's current highest combat power, it would be difficult for him to hold onto the number one spot in the Legion Ranking.

Among the people Li Zheng knew who were on par with Feng Shan were Chu Xiao, Ye Fan, and Ma Long.

Not to mention some of the talented guys who have been working hard to get ahead.

Don't forget that when the terminal first launched the live streaming function, one hundred spots were reserved for players with special talents. These one hundred people were almost all formidable rivals of Fengshan!
If a player falls from the top spot and fails to regain their original ranking for an extended period, any player with a sound mind can generally guess what's going on.

"If only there were a way to bring the entire legion into the outer city together, I wouldn't have to worry about them being bullied if they stayed there." As long as he couldn't return to the Matrix, all his worries would be in vain, so Li Zheng had to change his mind and think of something else.

From the gossip about Fengshan, Yan Guang, and Yu Xiaoyu, to the ultimate ownership of Kunlun and Jiutian's ambiguous attitude, and even the small army formed by Misaka Tsuchiemon, Li Zheng went through it all in his mind.

Before we knew it, there were more and more pedestrians on the street.

The night passed in the blink of an eye.

"Hmm..." Miriel was awakened by the noise of the pedestrians. She looked up blankly for a moment, then her little face scrunched up: "Is it dawn?"

Li Zheng looked at the sky: "Do you think it will get light soon?"

“…” Miriel rubbed her face: “That’s right, I forgot that there is no distinction between day and night here, and we can only regulate our schedule according to the time.”

As she spoke, she stretched out her small hand towards Li Zhengyi.

Li Zheng immediately understood, took out a large amount of water from the capsule, and then the master and servant washed up right there in the street.

"Gurgle gurgle gurgle... Pfft!"

Li Zheng spat all the mouthwash into the basin. He dared not spit it on the road, for who knows if someone would report him for it?

Moreover, the wastewater can be purified after being collected into capsules, so even if they don't drink it themselves, it can be used to supply the planting area, so there is no waste.

"What a pity about the bathroom I renovated..." Li Zheng reminisced about the free time when he could take a hot bath. He didn't take a shower last night, and now his whole body felt itchy and extremely uncomfortable.

"You're a grown man, how come you're even cleaner than me?" Miriel rolled her eyes. Li Zheng showered even more frequently than she did, truly making it a daily routine. Sometimes, after a particularly tough battle, he would shower again before continuing his exploration, never depriving himself of the opportunity to do so.

"What do you know?" Li Zheng slowly wiped his face. "This is called quality of life! Look at the Matrix, who can live like us? During the fishing competition, didn't you cover your nose when there were so many people?"

The freedom to shower is a trivial matter.

But if only a tiny fraction of hundreds of millions of people can do it, this seemingly insignificant thing becomes a kind of advantage, equivalent to the feeling of being superior.

Even if others don't know, you'll feel a secret joy, like wearing fine clothes in the dark.

"Ugh, can we not talk about that anymore?" Miriel shuddered as she recalled the strange smells she had encountered while walking through the crowd with Li Zheng.

Just thinking about it makes me feel dizzy... I probably won't be able to eat much for breakfast.

As usual, Miriel prepared breakfast, and Li Zheng sat there waiting to eat.

During this time, Zhan Zhouzhou appeared in front of Li Zheng and the others right on time, sitting at the table and looking at Miriel with great anticipation, being extremely well-behaved.

"It's only when you're faced with delicious food that I see you like this..." Li Zheng couldn't help but complain, "I still remember how shrewish you were when we first met, it was so annoying."

Zhan Zhouzhou glanced at Li Zheng sideways: "You've gotten cocky overnight... huh?"

Before she could finish her sentence, she suddenly raised an eyebrow and looked at Li Zheng with surprise: "What kind of adventure did you have last night? Why are you suddenly so much more reserved and sharp-eyed!"
