Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 587 Black Dragon Dada
A god-tier treasure chest.

opened.

It seems like it's not open.

Li Zheng sat silently in front of the teleportation portal, carefully sensing for a long time, but still could not detect the effect of strengthening the physique that Lao Pu had mentioned, and couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart.

[Kid, stop wasting your time. The effects of the Marrow Cleansing Pill are like a gentle spring breeze and nourishing rain, subtle and gradual. You'll only notice the changes when you actually fight someone.]

Fighting someone?

Don't talk nonsense!

Li Zheng was speechless. Would he dare to fight with someone?
What if you can't control it and it explodes and you die?
At this moment, he suddenly realized that perhaps his desire to open the treasure chest had angered the system, which was why he had opened a Marrow Cleansing Pill and tricked himself.
It's ridiculous that he initially thought he had struck it lucky again.

With Lao Pu as his guarantee, he had no doubt about the efficacy of the Marrow Cleansing Pill. The reason he was carefully sensing it was to personally witness the wonder of the medicine.

Unfortunately, it didn't happen.

The night passed in the blink of an eye, and the portal suddenly flashed with light.

somebody is coming!

Li Zheng got up and went to greet the person, waiting for him to appear.

A few seconds later.

"Mo Li?"

Li Zheng looked at the figure that appeared in the teleportation array in surprise. Wasn't she supposed to be back tomorrow? Why is she here early?
Seemingly sensing his thoughts, Mo Li explained, "On the way to the ancestral land, we met some of our own kind and got to know them. We've already entrusted Xiao Ying to them to take back and settle in. You can rest assured now."

Despite Mo Li's confident and natural tone, Li Zheng was still worried: "Can you trust your clansmen?"

Mo Li stepped out of the teleportation array and glanced at him: "If the Blood-Patterned Black Dragon Clan is the second most united race in the outer city, no one dares to claim the first place! Whenever any member of our Blood-Patterned Black Dragon Clan is in trouble, it is a major event for the clan, and everyone will take it seriously. Don't worry."

The worry on Li Zheng's face dissipated considerably, and Mo Li continued, "If anything happens to her, come back to me, and I'll take full responsibility!"

Now, Li Zheng's worries were finally put to rest; all he needed was a guarantor.

"Since you're back, here's your official certificate back." Li Zheng took out the badge and quickly stuffed it back into Mo Li's hand. He was really fed up with being a receptionist.

He would likely refuse any opportunity to become a formal public official in the future.

This is so damn boring!
There are so many rules!
Not free at all!
Once the temporary identity was in Mo Li's hands, it was returned to its rightful owner, and the information immediately became that of a formal public official (portal receptionist).

After packing his things away, Mo Li asked, "Did anyone bully you while I was gone? If so, just tell me, and I'll get revenge for you!"

She made no attempt to conceal her words, and her voice carried far.

Some passersby who were glancing at the portal from the sidelines immediately shrank back and quietly slipped away into the crowd.

They were the outer city residents who had reported Li Zheng several times before. Li Zheng had already discovered them, but he couldn't leave his post without permission, so he didn't make a fuss.

Now that he had wisely slipped away, Li Zheng didn't want to cause any more trouble, so he shook his head: "Aside from not having time to sleep and rest properly, there's nothing unpleasant. On the contrary, I want to ask you, before coming here I passed through many districts, where people were all in pairs guarding the teleportation gates, why didn't you have a partner?"

“Because I don’t need it.” Mo Li replied calmly, “The reason for two people to work in a group is so that we can take turns and have enough time to rest and relax. But most of my Blood-Patterned Black Dragon clan hardly need sleep after waking up from their slumber, so one person is enough for me to guard them.”

Sure enough!

Li Zheng secretly realized that all his previous guesses had come true!
"Don't you find it boring and tedious to be here all by yourself?" Li Zheng asked again.

"will not."

Mo Li's gaze passed over Li Zheng and looked at the table not far behind him. "Did you put that there?"

Li Zheng turned around and looked at him: "Yes."

"Leave it here." Mo Li took out the inscription card: "Here's the money, consider it a purchase on my behalf."

"This...it's just a table, can you just give me whatever you want...?!" Li Zheng wanted to say that she didn't need to pay, he could even give it to her for free.

As a result, Mo Li simply waved his hand and transferred 10,000 white crystal coins to him!

She's a rich woman!
Mo Li calmly explained, "Don't misunderstand, I'm not that foolish. Nine thousand five hundred of these ten thousand white crystal coins are your reward for guarding the teleportation gate for me these past few days. The rest is the money for the tables and chairs." "Oh..." Li Zheng's spirits, which had just lifted, deflated again. So that wasn't it after all...

and many more?

"You just said that 9,500 was the payment?!?"

He's only been watching it for a few days!
All told, two days?
Nine thousand five hundred white crystal coins?!

In an instant, Li Zheng understood why Mo Li could endure loneliness.

If temporary workers can earn 9,500, how much should she, a permanent employee with even greater skills, earn, as she's equivalent to two people?
Can't start with a five-digit number?
"You came back a day early, could it be because you didn't want to lose that day's wages?" Li Zheng looked at Mo Li suspiciously.

Her face was hidden by the hood, so her expression could not be seen.

But Li Zheng was certain that he had guessed her thoughts perfectly!
"You're overthinking it." Mo Li turned and walked to the table and chairs that were now hers, sat down comfortably, and said with some regret, "It's a pity I didn't prepare anything to entertain myself. It would be even better if I had some snacks and drinks."

This gave Li Zheng an idea. He turned his head and saw a shop not far away with a sign written in a foreign language. He had just seen it when he was studying with Lao Pu. It meant that the shop sold snacks and the like.

"I'll run errands for you to buy some things, will you give me some money for my trouble?" Li Zheng suggested.

Mo Li's eyes lit up: "How come I didn't think of that?"

Having said that, she raised her hand and beckoned, and a passerby uncontrollably floated to their side, looking completely bewildered: "Lord...Lord Mo Li, what are your orders?"

"Go buy me some snacks!" Mo Li took out his inscription card and prepared to transfer the money.

The pedestrian was terrified: "It is my honor to relieve Lord Mo Li's worries. How dare I take your money? I'll be right back."

He struggled a few times but couldn't break free, looking pitifully at Mo Li.

Mo Li said coldly, "When have I ever used trickery or force to seize something? If I give you money, just take it!"

"Yes, yes, yes..." The man took out the inscription card with a bitter face and accepted the transfer.

Only after the white crystal coin had passed did he finally get away and dash into the snack shop.

Before long, he returned and took out a large pile of items from his personal space. He bowed and scraped, saying, "Lord Mo Li, I forgot to ask your taste, so I bought a little of everything. Please enjoy it first. If you find any flavors you like, keep them in mind, and I'll buy more for you next time."

"Hmm, not bad!" Mo Li nodded in satisfaction. "You can go now. Come back in three days... no, at this time tomorrow!"

"sure!"

The person ran away in a hurry and disappeared.

Li Zheng glanced at Mo Li, then at the mountain of snacks: "I'm right here, why are you asking someone else to run errands for you?"

So you won't even let your acquaintances earn your hard-earned money, huh?
"Aren't you leaving?" Mo Li raised her head slightly, seemingly glancing at him again: "After you leave, I'll still have to find someone else to help me run errands, so I might as well not trouble you."

Pointing to the stool: "Sit down, shall we eat something together?"

Li Zheng looked up and saw that Zhan Zhouzhou had arrived. Needless to say, Miriel at the alley entrance behind him must have gotten up on time as well. It was time for him to continue to the Seventh Block to find the blacksmith shop to solve his troubles.

"Fine, just open a portal for me, as long as it leads to the Seventh Street area."

"So urgent..." Mo Li paused and asked, "How many people?"

"Two, plus a follower."

"Okay, three thousand white crystal coins." Mo Li took out his official badge and asked for the transfer, and Li Zheng paid the money.

Soon, the portal lit up again, this time leading to other city blocks.

After a brief farewell to Mo Li, Li Zheng led Miriel and Zhan Zhouzhou inside and disappeared.

What he didn't know was that because of his careless remark, a new position appeared in the outer city, following Kangaroo Express, with short-distance delivery as its main business.

Its name is: Black Dragon Dada.

Damn! Five words short! What a loss!
