Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 60 "Damn Lucky Guy!"

"That guy surnamed Li isn't going to stop until he's completely drained my stock!"

Feng Shan cursed under his breath, his face bitter. He took out a pocket watch from his capsule and handed it to Li Zhengdao, saying, "I was able to collect materials so quickly today thanks to this."

Li Zheng looked at the pocket watch in his hand, and the Eye of Preys displayed the following information:
[Malicious Detection Pocket Watch - High-Tech Edition, Silver Level]

Selecting a door to enter the next room allows you to detect whether there are any living beings behind the door.

Each room can only be used once.

Review: Terrible! Compared to the noble and all-around expert, Old Putin, this thing is a complete idiot!

"This product is nice. How do you use it?"

Li Zheng casually returned the pocket watch to Feng Shan, looking troubled: "I've already taken a silver-grade lightsaber from you, taking this thing as well would be a bit greedy."

"Eh?"

Feng Shan was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself, "This kid has changed his ways. He got such a good thing and then returned it?"
You should know that the ability to maliciously detect pocket watches is an incredible tool, no matter who gets it, that can be used to explore for resources or to save your life and protect yourself.

Li Zheng said he didn't want it, and then just took it back?

Feng Shan found this upright and honest behavior somewhat unreal. Was the person in front of him still the despicable, shameless, lewd, and brainless Li Zheng that everyone wanted to kick to death?

has a problem!
There is definitely a problem!
Fengshan was suspicious, but still explained how to use it: "Just use it on a metal door. If there is a creature behind the door, the pocket watch will make a sound, just like an alarm clock. It will ring as many times as there are creatures behind it."

Not only that, this thing can also compare the difference in strength between the creature behind the door and the user's own.

For example, the creature in the next room poses almost no threat to me; it flashes green.

If something poses a threat to me, but can be dealt with with some effort, it will flash blue.

If the threat level is high and there is a possibility of injury during the battle, the pocket watch will flash red.

Another scenario is when facing an enemy, where death is almost certain; in this situation, it will flash black light.

Finally, Fengshan added, "In this room we're in now, there was originally only one giant wolf. When I was probing earlier, it made a sound. Compared to my own strength, it wasn't a life-threatening threat, but I could kill it if I spent some time on it, so it flashed blue."

"Huh? So detailed?"

Li Zheng raised an eyebrow and asked, "Have you been inside all these types of rooms? Otherwise, how could you distinguish the level of threat so clearly?"

"Of course I've been inside them all!"

When Fengshan said this, he had a triumphant and confident air about him.

"Including the black room?"

"Including the black room!"

"Really? I don't believe it!"

Li Zheng truly did not believe that Feng Shan had entered the black room.

According to Fengshan, he should have died if he had faced the room that was flashing with black light. If he had actually been inside, how did he survive?

"cough……"

Feng Shan coughed dryly, looking a little embarrassed. He scratched his face and explained, "This is not nonsense. It's just that the room is a bit strange. The previous player, I don't know who the big shot was, not only escaped as well, but also escaped through the door under the monster's feet."

I also took a shortcut; after dodging several attacks, I swiped my card and escaped without waiting for the door to open.

So I only went into that dark room once, and never dared to touch it again.

"Oh?"

Li Zheng became interested: "There are other big shots in our channel who are so much stronger than you? What happened back then? Tell me in detail?"

"Um……"

Fengshan carefully recalled the situation at the time, and after carefully choosing his words, he slowly recounted the events.

"At that time, it was the first time I had ever encountered a room that was flashing black light, and I didn't know what the meaning of that color was."

The pocket watch was ticking non-stop, and I figured there were quite a few creatures in the room, so I thought I'd go in and see what was going on. If I could make a fortune, wouldn't I be rich on the spot?

And wow, once inside, it was a cryogenic chamber with many stone statues over thirty meters tall, like giants, covered in ice...

"Wait a minute!"

Upon hearing this, Li Zheng immediately interrupted, asking with a strange expression, "You mean many statues over thirty meters tall?"

"Yes, I just made a rough estimate. The actual height might be slightly off, but not by much." Feng Shan assumed that Li Zheng was concerned about the height of the statue and explained casually.

Li Zheng scratched his head, already having a general idea of ​​how the story of Fengshan would unfold, but he still waved his hand and said, "Go on, what happened next?"

"Later, I figured that since these statues weren't moving or attacking me, they were probably just inanimate objects or decorations. Since they were all made of stone and ice, I figured I wouldn't get anything good from breaking them down, so I ignored them and headed straight for the center."

Before I had gone far, a particularly tall statue in the very center suddenly moved and turned to look at me.

That scene terrified me.

That thing opened its mouth and emitted a beam of blue light, but luckily I activated my burst ability, which also boosted my speed, and I barely dodged it.

I thought to myself, "I think I might be able to win," so I rushed over.

"and then?"

The more Li Zheng listened, the stranger his expression became. He thought to himself, "You should have tried to analyze it back then. If you had known earlier that these statues were actually living things, you wouldn't have rushed in but would have quickly gone around to the side and found a door to slip away."

"Then?
Then I dodged several of the statue's attacks, finally managed to reach it, and unleashed a powerful punch to its leg!

"Holy crap, you're awesome! You actually dared to go up and fight in this situation?"

Li Zheng was genuinely impressed. He hadn't even had time to escape, let alone dare to fight back.

"What's so great about that!" Feng Shan blushed and said embarrassedly, "My punch didn't even break off many pieces of ice from his body. In fact, because my explosive power was too high and his body was too hard, I broke one of his arms."

"Oh~"

Li Zheng had a 'I knew it' expression on his face, and continued, "Then you realized you couldn't beat him, and in your haste you saw a door open about sixty meters away from that guy, so you used your burst speed to swipe your card and go through the door, like a yo-yo?"

"Exactly! We can't even break their skin, are we just going to stand there and wait to die instead of running away? Huh???"

Feng Shan suddenly realized something and looked at Li Zheng with a look of horror: "How did you know that door was about sixty meters away?"

“Fuck!!!!!”

"No way!??"

He pointed at Li Zheng, his face filled with disbelief, and couldn't speak for a long time.

"Hmm~"

Li Zheng wore a smug expression and said modestly, "I am not very capable; I was the one who opened that door."

However, he dared not explain too much, after all, he had suffered serious injuries after escaping from the rock and ice giant's room.

Fengshan went in after him, and now it seems that apart from the fracture he caused himself by that punch, he did not suffer any additional injuries.

In comparison, Fengshan is still much stronger than him.

At least that was the case when facing the leader of the Ice Giants.

"By the way, when did you enter that room?"

Li Zheng wanted to confirm whether the conclusions he drew from his post-battle review were applicable.

Feng Shan was still in shock. No matter how hard he racked his brains, he never imagined that this despicable, shameless, lewd, brain-dead, and hateful businessman was actually a hidden tycoon.

Before meeting him, he always thought Li Zheng was just a businessman, otherwise how could he have brought out so many good things?

As for good stuff?
It must have been obtained through a scam.

Or perhaps they were just lucky and had a great opportunity in certain rooms.

Such rooms do exist; Fengshan himself has been in one once.

After calming down, Fengshan replied, "Yesterday morning, I had just escaped from that room when the system notified me that my novice period was over."

"Yesterday morning."

Li Zheng silently counted to himself that it was a day later than when he entered that room.

After a night, the leader of the Rock Ice Giants still hadn't fallen asleep; it seemed that it would remain awake after losing Rock Ice Fire.

Luckily, I managed to escape without actually relying on the invincible nature of the capsule dwelling. Otherwise, the next day, when my novice period ended, the Titan leader would have crushed me and my dwelling into a pancake on the spot.

"You're really lucky. If you had gone in any later, you wouldn't have come out."

Li Zheng thought to himself, "If you had gone in earlier, you probably wouldn't have come out now."

Fengshan nodded in agreement: "To be honest, I've been lucky since I was a child. Apart from never winning the lottery, I've always exchanged the caps of 'buy one get one free' drinks for my beverages every day."

Li Zheng: "..."

That damn lucky guy!
