Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 586 What is Godhood?

After trading for another 450,000 white crystals, there was enough money left for the journey to Block 7.

At this point, Li Zheng only needs to wait for Mo Li to return the day after tomorrow so he can set off with Zhan Zhouzhou to do his own thing.

That evening, after having freeloaded dinner, Zhan Zhouzhou resolutely left, ignoring Li Zheng's pitiful pleading gaze, leaving Li Zheng once again alone and bored.

The reason I say "alone" is because after dinner, Miri took her mat and went to sleep in the alley...

Today, no mandatory tasks were issued by the terminal, and the number of residents using the portal returned to a low point. Li Zhengqiang persevered through two days and two nights of hardship to guard the portal.

I finally made it to midnight and heard the system notification right on time.

The treasure chest has been upgraded to 'Godlike Quality'. Your random draw attempts for today have been reset to zero. Do you wish to claim it now?

"extract!"

Needless to say, Li Zheng was just waiting for the treasure chest to appear so he could relieve his boredom, and he got the treasure chest out as soon as possible.

The shimmering treasure chest looked very familiar, and a thought inexplicably popped into Li Zheng's mind: "The system always takes back the treasure chest after giving out items. Could it be that the real treasures are actually these treasure chests themselves?"

Because the treasure chests are so precious, and there's only one of each quality, they are recycled and reused.
"Come to think of it, it seems that it really is..." Li Zheng pondered for a moment, recalling that he had once taken out tons of supplies from a platinum chest when he was in the Matrix.

With so many items placed in the treasure chest, not only was the volume not reflected, but even the weight seemed unchanged.

"This characteristic... it's so similar to the storage bags, storage rings, or bracelets in cultivation novels!" Li Zheng scratched his chin, suddenly having the idea of ​​trying to pry a piece of material off the treasure chest. Maybe the pried-off part wouldn't be recycled?

I advise you not to court death.

Old Pu was almost scared to death by Li Zheng's audacious idea.

Who gave you the opportunity you have today?
It's your system, Daddy!
If it weren't for all the good stuff the system gave you, you would have died in the matrix long ago for various reasons. How could you still be sitting here complaining about being bored?

Good grief, you've really gotten a little bit of success and you've become so arrogant and lawless, haven't you?

That bastard doesn't even think about it properly. His mental strength is so powerful, why can't he even find out where the system and he himself are?

Clearly, his strength is nowhere near the level of the system!
Li Zheng sensed a strong warning from the five words Lao Pu gave him. He was startled and quickly abandoned his unreliable thoughts, starting to change the subject: "Ha...haha...the meaning of these five words can be summarized as 'no,' so five words no?"

【What the hell era are we living in? Why are they still driving like this? And driving it so badly!】

Old Pu couldn't stand it anymore and gave a scathing critique.

Ignoring Lao Pu's complaints, Li Zheng rubbed his hands together in front of him, his eyes shining as he looked at the treasure chest: "The last super-god treasure chest gave me a Bodhi tree seed, which directly made up for my shortcomings in martial arts. Let's see if I can continue my good luck this time!"

open!

The treasure chest was opened, and Li Zheng peeked inside. He saw a small black sphere lying quietly inside, about the size of a ping-pong ball.

"What is this? A hidden weapon?"

[What the hell?! Couldn't you have waited for me to organize the information? Why are you in such a hurry?]

Marrow Cleansing Pill
Description: Origin unknown, rank unknown
Effect: Significantly improves physical condition after consumption!
Old Pu: Have you ever heard of Tang Sanzang's flesh? Eat it, and you'll have a physique similar to Tang Sanzang's. Anyone who eats a bite of your flesh will absorb some of the effects of the Marrow Cleansing Pill!

Li Zheng: "..."

Good heavens!
If you're looking for someone reliable, you have to look to our treasure chest dad!

What is this called?
This is called putting aside past grievances! I was just thinking of opening the treasure chest, and the next moment I opened such a good thing!
What does he lack most right now?

arms?

The glass longsword at the boarding office can still be upgraded; if he wants, he might be able to use it until he dies!
Armor?

Anyway, he can instantly kill anyone he fights now, so whether he has armor or not doesn't seem to make much difference.

Strengthen mental power?
His mental strength is already so strong that his body can't support it anymore. Strengthening it further would be suicide.
So the answer is, anything that can strengthen the body!
Only when physical strength is improved will the influence of mental power on oneself decrease, and he will be able to spare some strength to deal with any potential dangers in the future.

This thing, whose name is exactly the same as the pills commonly found in cultivation novels, is exactly the type he urgently needs right now!

Reaching out, I took out the Marrow Cleansing Pill. It felt incredibly light, almost weightless. As soon as it left the treasure chest, a unique fragrance wafted out, instantly invigorating my slightly tired spirit after two days of hard work.

"This stuff is amazing!" Li Zheng's face was practically dripping with excitement. "How do you eat this? Are there any requirements? Do you take it with wine? Or do you just swallow it?"

Li Zheng must ask about such a good thing thoroughly, lest he ruin it due to recklessness.

[Swallow it directly; your current physical strength is sufficient to withstand the effects of this Marrow Cleansing Pill!]

"it is good!"

With Lao Pu backing him up, Li Zheng felt much more at ease and threw the Marrow Cleansing Pill into his mouth.

It was like eating a slice of cream cake; the pill melted in your mouth, and with a gentle touch of your tongue, it slid down your throat and into your stomach.

"..."

"..."

"???"

Li Zheng examined himself for a while and found that he felt nothing unusual. He was a little confused: "What's going on? In novels, it's said that after taking marrow-cleansing pills, one's body will either emit a fragrance or expel a large amount of foul-smelling impurities from the pores. Why don't I have any reaction at all? Could it be a fake medicine?"

[Have you gone insane from reading novels? Don't you need to digest your food? Do you think you're a bird with such short intestines?]

Old Pu launched into a tirade of insults, but Li Zheng wasn't angry at all. Instead, he thought it made a lot of sense: "Novels are misleading people!"

[The Marrow Cleansing Pill requires eight to twelve hours to be digested and absorbed. During this period, its effects will continuously improve your physique, roughly raising it to... in your current understanding, it's close to the intermediate level of the low-to-earth beginner stage.]

"One pill can improve this much?" Li Zheng was astonished.

His current physical condition is at most at the extraordinary level, approaching the Star Glory level.

Just one item from the Super God Treasure Chest was enough to cause his physique to jump three levels, directly taking him a giant leap into the beginner stage!
Logically, shouldn't a treasure chest of the God-tier level only contain items with God-tier effects?
How could it be so much more?

[Kid, this is a god-tier treasure chest! And not one obtained under the rules of the Matrix! I'm telling you, if you keep opening chests of this caliber, over time you can become a god in this world!]

Actually, there was one thing that Lao Pu didn't tell Li Zheng.

That means his current level of mental strength has reached the level of a demigod.

If he takes just one more step, not only the Matrix and the outer city, but even the vast universe outside won't be able to stop him.

Not to mention the so-called mental storm.
