Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 577 The Swallow Through the Hall! X2
"Reserved, yet sharp-tongued..." Li Zheng squinted and complained, "Look at what you're saying, is that even human language? Am I reserved or sharp-tongued?"

These two words are clearly contradictory, aren't they?
Being uneducated is terrible!
“No conflict!” Zhan Zhouzhou waved his hand, meaning that there was no need to worry about those details. “At first glance, you seem ordinary to me, but when you look at me, I feel like I have a thorn in my back, a fishbone stuck in my throat, or a flower... uh... anyway, you make me feel that you are very dangerous.”

“That’s normal.” Li Zheng stared intently at Zhan Zhouzhou, his eyes wide open, trying to amplify the ‘danger’ Zhan Zhouzhou was talking about: “When have I ever made you feel safe?”

Zhan Zhouzhou glanced at him with disdain: "Your current appearance has diluted the dangerous feeling from before, leaving only sleazy."

Li Zheng: "..."

Well, is this what they call going too far?

Since he had already been criticized, continuing to act like this would only solidify his reputation as a 'clown.' Li Zheng straightened his expression and returned to normal.

Zhan Zhouzhou nodded in satisfaction: "Indeed, this is still the most pleasing to the eye!"

Li Zheng: "???"

"I know you mean well, but what's with that hint of mockery in your tone, like you're picking on a chick? You really think I wouldn't dare make a move in the outer city? Let me tell you, I have connections in the enforcement team! Even if we both get arrested, you'll be the one who suffers!"

Conversely, if the two were to fight, Li Zheng would most likely not be arrested.

After all, he still has to guard the portal. If he's captured, who will take over his duties?

No one wants to take on such a 'easy job,' even if it's temporary.

Because there's usually no lucrative opportunity in 'idle' jobs, as can be seen from Li Zheng's half-day and one-night shifts, he not only failed to make any money but also had to give away two doses of medicine to bribe the enforcement team...

"You're overthinking it." Zhan Zhouzhou shook her head: "I really admire you, sister, because every now and then you can give me some different surprises."

From a newbie who didn't even dare to fight back when defeated, to later making a decisive shot in a team dungeon raid, and then becoming stronger and stronger, even he felt the pressure and had to rise up to catch up.

It can be said that Li Zheng deserves much credit for Zhan Zhouzhou's current achievements!
In Zhan Zhouzhou's mind, he was like a benchmark; if he wasn't careful, Zhan Zhouzhou could surpass him, and the gap between them would only widen.

With such a master by his side, Zhan Zhouzhou dared not be careless for a moment and could only keep up with Li Zheng's pace by constantly pushing his own potential.

At least, that's what she thought, completely unaware of how amazed Li Zheng was every time he saw her improve.

"Breakfast is here!" Miriel brought over a bowl of soy milk and a dozen fried dough sticks and placed them on the table. She wiped her hands on a small apron made from ordinary clothes. "You two eat first. There will be tofu pudding and white porridge later. I've discovered that millet porridge is also quite good; it's thick, fragrant, and smooth."

Watching Miriel run back to the stove, Zhan Zhouzhou sighed with a complicated expression, "This is the first time I've ever seen someone train a succubus to be a cook..."

“I didn’t deliberately train her, Miriel just enjoys cooking… Hmm???” Li Zheng said casually, then suddenly realized something and asked in surprise, “You’ve seen other succubi?”

"Uh..." Zhan Zhouzhou was mortified, glancing awkwardly to the side. "Eat...eat!"

It’s really killing me!
How did you accidentally let it slip?

She had indeed seen succubi before, but not in reality, but in various fantasy works.

However, the identities and roles of those succubi are...

oops~
It's incredibly embarrassing to hear that a rich heiress from a prominent family in Zhejiang and Hangzhou has a habit of browsing shady websites!

"Here, bowls and chopsticks." Li Zheng took out the tableware from the capsule and stared at Zhan Zhouzhou with a suspicious look. The girl's expression clearly indicated that she was hiding something.

It’s tricky!
"What...what are you looking at?" Zhan Zhouzhou was so embarrassed and angry by Li Zheng's gaze that she grabbed a fried dough stick and stabbed him.

"Well done!" Li Zheng's eyes changed slightly. He exhaled and spoke, raising his hand to grab Zhan Zhouzhou's wrist with the claw technique of the rat-headed people.

"what?"

Zhan Zhouzhou exclaimed in surprise, her outstretched hand deftly twisting to dodge Li Zheng's grab.

Instantly, her expression changed, a coldness spreading across her beautiful face, exuding an aura that kept strangers at bay.

When Li Zheng missed his grab, he gently tapped the table with his other hand, and the longest fried dough stick in the plate flew into his hand as if pulled by an invisible thread.

The next moment, he unleashed his staff technique, scattering countless sticks... uh, afterimages of fried dough sticks everywhere, their aroma spreading far and wide. Passersby couldn't help but swallow their saliva, their mouths watering.

"Excellent staff technique!" Zhan Zhouzhou shouted coldly, unleashing the Zhan family sword technique. The fried dough stick in her hand was like a sharp blade, heading straight for the center of the dense, impenetrable shadow of the fried dough stick.

That place has the strongest defense, and it is also the place with the highest attack power.

That's just Zhan Zhouzhou's personality; he's always ready to face strong opponents and refuses to be second to anyone.

The weak are not qualified to fight her. She would not do something like bullying the weak unless the other party has offended her terribly.

"I knew you'd do this!" Li Zhengqing shouted, his technique changing once more. The countless shadows of his staff vanished without a trace, and the golden-fried dough sticks, with the force of Mount Tai crashing down, slashed towards Zhan Zhouzhou.

This is the double-edged axe technique of the Elephant Clan, which Li Zheng modified slightly before using it.

Using a stick instead of an axe, the power is equally astonishing.

Although he is not yet capable of handling things with ease and cannot use a seemingly insignificant fried dough stick to exert tremendous force, he should not be underestimated.

"What a powerful sense of oppression! How about my move?!" Zhan Zhouzhou changed his sword stance, splitting the fried dough stick into two sword shadows, attacking Li Zheng's front from the left and right.

"So-so!" Li Zheng said confidently. He grabbed the end of the fried dough stick with his free hand, and with a twist of his arms, the fried dough stick became like a short gun, flashing with spear-like patterns, instantly shattering the sword shadow in Zhan Zhouzhou's hand.

Snapped!
The fried dough sticks collide, causing the crispy oil on their surfaces to crumble and scatter, making the aroma even more intense.

"Is that marksmanship?" Zhan Zhouzhou recognized it immediately. From the beginning, marksmanship was Li Zheng's forte. She had a deep impression of the scene when Li Zheng single-handedly held off an enemy with his gun during a dungeon run.

To this end, she studied diligently for a long time and developed a sword technique specifically designed to counter Li Zheng, which could break through long spear-type weapons.

She named this move the 'Broken Spear Style'...

Yes, she plagiarized the names of the moves from the Nine Swords of Dugu.

"This sword is designed to cut down the seven-inch mark of a spear. Let's see how you change your move!" Zhan Zhouzhou unleashed her sword technique, and You Tiao parried Li Zheng's spear flourish. Judging from her trajectory, this strike hit the very spot where Li Zheng's spear technique was unable to exert its full force.

"What's so difficult about this?"

Li Zheng's gaze was steady and his expression confident. He transformed the fried dough stick into a knife, neither dodging nor blocking, and slashed directly at the target.

"You also know swordsmanship?" Zhan Zhouzhou was increasingly surprised as the fight progressed. When did Li Zheng master so many martial arts skills?

Moreover, each one is not something you can just practice casually; they have all reached a level of mastery.

Most importantly, Li Zheng changed his moves very freely, which shows that he has mastered every technique!

"I know a lot more!" Li Zheng replied, but his hand struck empty air.

However, at the last moment, Zhan Zhouzhou suddenly withdrew her strength, risking muscle contusions to avoid Li Zheng's sword strike.

The next second, Zhan Zhouzhou endured the soreness in her arm from forcibly pulling back her strength, and her sword stance changed again, emanating an astonishing aura.

"Take my strongest sword!"

The fried dough stick shot straight out, carrying an indomitable and unyielding spirit, determined to pierce through any formidable enemy in its path.

"Swallows flying through the hall!"

Li Zheng certainly recognized the move, and his hand also changed direction, thrusting straight out: "Me too!"

"Swallows flying through the hall!"

Using the same 'weapons' and the same 'moves', the two fought with different feeling.

Zhan Zhouzhou's "Swallow Through the Hall" technique was agile and nimble, just like a lifelike swallow flying in from outside the window and into an ordinary household. Even if there were walls blocking its way, it would break through them!
Li Zheng's "Swallow Through the Hall" move was more like a giant golden eagle; it didn't crash into the wall.

it……

Lift the roof!
