Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 610 "Welcome, my clone!"

"Task?"

Upon hearing this, apart from Li Zheng and Zhan Zhouzhou, the other players were astonished.

Isn't their mission the team battle that hasn't even started yet?
There's still a little over a minute left in the team formation time, how come this person says they've completed their task?
"Task!"

Evil Eye Yamamoto reacted in the complete opposite way, staring intently at the three of them, "They're from the outer city! No wonder they can unleash such power despite being at the same strength level!"

Before its rebirth, it was also a resident of the outer city. After its rebirth, it lost its original identity, parasitized the player Yamamoto's body, and seized the other player's privileges. Now it can only retrace its steps back to the outer city.

Having had one experience, it was confident that it could enter the outer city faster than other players.

At that time, it can seek out old friends or clansmen and, with their help, reshape its body.

"The doctor should still have some backups. My current identity cannot be exposed, so I can just focus on developing my business." Evil Eye Yamamoto's expression changed, but he calmed himself down, as if he knew nothing.

Wang Xiaoshan and the others stared at Li Zheng's back in surprise. They weren't stupid; they could glean a lot from just a few words.

Tchaikov's expression shifted, becoming somewhat grim: "He asked me before if I was afraid of Li Zheng's revenge, and I said no. Now it seems... Li Ruizhou is Li Zheng, and he's not dead!"

The existence of the outer city had been circulating among players for more than ten days, but no one had yet figured out exactly where it was.

Over time, most people dismissed the rumors about the outer city as fact and no one took them seriously.

Now Tchaikov knew that the outer city really existed!
Moreover, Li Zheng had already entered before them!

"I'm finished!" He felt utterly hopeless. As a red-named bloodthirsty individual, he knew that Li Zheng would likely not let him go: "Those legions that attacked and slaughtered the Qidian members are finished too!"

After entering the outer city, Li Zheng must have had more fortuitous encounters; no one can say for sure how strong he becomes.

From that terrifying blade of light just now, Tchaikov knew that none of the players could stand against him!

No matter how many people come, it won't make a difference!
That's a gap that can't be bridged by numbers alone!

"Now I'm giving you two choices." Zhan Zhouzhou walked up to Li Zheng and stood beside him: "Either we join forces to kill you, or you obediently become third place."

"Ha!" the executor laughed loudly. "Is there even a need to choose?"

He looked intently at Li Zheng: "You deserved to be first and second, so what's wrong with me being third?"

At this moment, the onlookers suddenly noticed something was wrong.

Within minutes, there were forty people in total, divided into four teams.

Five people have died so far. Besides the top three teams that are guaranteed to survive, five more will be eliminated.

Get started first!
Suddenly, Yamamoto with the Evil Eye erupted, and several twisted, vine-like tentacles emerged from under his hood, piercing through the bodies of three players around him with a series of "poof poof poof poof".

Having landed a successful blow, he withdrew and retreated, moving away from the uproaring crowd.

Someone realized what was happening and drew their weapon to shoot at him, but was instead beheaded by another player behind them.

In the blink of an eye, only twenty-nine people remained in the arena, one more of them had died.

Li Zheng tightened his grip on the knife, but then loosened his grip again when he realized that the players who had killed him had not generated any kill points.

"Now, let's split into teams," the executor said, a hint of sarcasm in his voice.

Selfish human nature exists in every race, and the changes that occurred among the players were within his expectations and not surprising.

After the team was divided, Li Zheng led Wang Xiaoshan, Chai Kefu, Carol, Feng Bujue, Li Minshun, and other teammates who were already together and had just helped out, as well as Yu Xiaoyu, Yuan Feiyuluo, and Zhan Zhouzhou, to form a nine-person team.

As for Zhan Zhouzhou and her teammates who made it to the third round, she didn't pay attention to them and let them figure it out themselves.

When the fight broke out, these people stood by and watched, so Zhan Zhouzhou naturally wasn't kind enough to care about their lives. The last group followed the executor to form a team, while another group, having witnessed Evil Eye Yamamoto's ruthlessness, recruited him to form another team.

With only three teams remaining, the entire match process was ultimately omitted.

When the team formation time ended, both teams conceded defeat to Li Zheng and his team, handing over first place to them.

When the executor saw that Li Zheng and Zhan Zhouzhou were assigned to the same team, he wanted to negotiate some terms and compete with another team for second place.

Zhan Zhouzhou ignored him: "We agreed you'd be third, so you have to be third!"

"Fine, we concede." The executor had no choice but to lead his men to third place.

Evil Eye Yamamoto, on the contrary, reaped the benefits and became the second place, while Chen Qianxiang, who had been on the same team as him, quietly became the third.

The gorilla pet was also his; it was released from the spectator stand after the team battle ended.

Miriel returned to stand next to Li Zheng.

[Challenge ended, rankings are as follows: ...]

The third round of challenges, which was supposed to be a fierce battle to determine the winners and rankings, ended unexpectedly and quickly in a harmonious manner thanks to Li Zheng and others' preemptive table-flipping tactics.

[Rewards are now being distributed: The team ranked third will each receive one extraordinary item.]

The team that ranked second will each receive three extraordinary items.

The team ranked first will each receive one Star-level item.

These are the mission reward information that players can see, and the rewards are much higher than the value of ten days of normal exploration in the matrix.

[Congratulations! You have completed the fixed quest and two optional quests, and have received: 500 Red Crystals and one opportunity to travel to the Central Hub.]

This is the reward information Li Zheng received. The five hundred red crystal coins are no longer important. What Li Zheng is more curious about is the "opportunity to go to the central hub".

It was yet another place he had never heard of.

Zhan Zhouzhou and another executor from the outer city also completed their respective tasks. Their rewards were roughly the same as Li Zheng's, except that in addition to red crystal coins, they only received a time limit reward for staying in the matrix, instead of going to the central hub.

As the rewards were distributed, the scenery before Li Zheng changed, and he found himself in an unfamiliar place.

At this moment, he could no longer maintain his severely injured state, opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood, and slowly collapsed.

The pain was excruciating, as if my whole body was being torn apart, as if I were being slowly sliced ​​apart, one cut after another.

Li Zheng gritted his teeth and persevered. The remaining effects of the Marrow Cleansing Pill in his body could only help him slowly repair his damaged body, but it had little effect on relieving the pain.

After an unknown amount of time, he let out a long sigh of relief and sat up, covered in sweat.

"Are you okay?"

An electronic voice came from behind him. Li Zheng turned around and saw a super huge computer. Standing in front of it, he felt as small as an ant.

The computer screen displayed an image that looked almost exactly like him!
"You are...Terminal?"

Li Zheng's heart stirred.

"Yes, it's me."

The avatar displayed a gentle smile, "Welcome, my clone number 19910909."
