Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 697 So many Marrow Cleansing Pills, who can possibly consume them all!
As the red satin stopper was removed from the bottle, a familiar fragrance wafted out, filling the room in an instant.

Li Zheng took a breath and felt refreshed: "Marrow Cleansing Pills! And a whole bottle of them!"

He couldn't wait to pour out all the pills from the bottle. Each pill was only the size of a pigeon egg, round and smooth, and rolled around in all directions.

Li Zheng counted them: "Twenty!"

It's much more than I ever imagined when I was being most greedy!

OMG!

Twenty!

How can we possibly finish this?
He eagerly picked up one, but stopped before putting it in his mouth, silently asking the Eye of Preers, "Is this Marrow Cleansing Pill effective with repeated use?"

We need to find out the details; otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste?
The dosage varies depending on individual constitution. For your constitution, one pill can be taken every five days. A maximum of five pills will cause the medication to reach its peak effect, leading to tolerance and ineffectiveness.

[Friendly reminder: This is the second one you have; you can eat it now.]

One Marrow Cleansing Pill every five days, and I can still take four more!

In other words, he still has sixteen extra pills, enough to satisfy three people like him to fully develop drug resistance!
Let's put it this way...

Li Zheng stroked his chin and pondered, "Twenty doesn't seem like that's a lot!"

Bah.

He threw the pill directly into his mouth, where it dissolved into liquid and was swallowed. The medicinal properties were quickly digested and partially absorbed by his body, then distributed throughout his body.

The lingering soreness and swelling throughout my body subsided rapidly, to the point that I could hardly feel it anymore.

Li Zheng squinted comfortably: "It seems that after taking a Marrow Cleansing Pill, my ability to digest these kinds of pills has also improved. When I took the first one before, I didn't feel anything at all now."

He picked up another one and handed it to Miriel: "Here, eat it."

Miriel glanced at the pills in his hand, her eyes flickering a few times. But thinking that these things were more important to Li Zheng, she still refused: "You should take them yourself. As long as you are well, I will be satisfied."

"Take it if I give it to you." Li Zheng shoved the pill into her mouth. "I can only take five of these. I took one before, and with the one I just took, I have a limit of three left. If I take five, I'll develop a tolerance. Taking more won't be effective, and it might even be harmful to my health."

After hearing what he said, Miriel realized that the pill in her mouth dissolved upon contact with water, and had now become a mouthful of liquid medicine. Spitting it out would be a waste, so she had no choice but to swallow it.

Li Zheng watched her wait for a moment, then asked, "How do you feel?"

Miriel examined it carefully and shook her head: "I can't feel anything at all."

It was as if I had just swallowed a mouthful of water.

"Hmm." Li Zheng nodded: "It seems that the first time you take this kind of pill, it's the same for everyone. Starting with the second one, the absorption rate will be much faster."

At the same time, he wondered to himself how much old Pumirel could eat.

The conclusion was four.

It's unclear whether all succubi can only consume four, or if this only applies to Miriel.

After all, Miriel was a succubus who was artificially matured, not naturally grown to adulthood, so it's uncertain whether the artificial maturation process had any unknown effects on her.

“Your succubus physique is different from mine; the maximum is four pills.” Li Zheng put all the remaining Marrow Cleansing Pills back into the small bottle and then into the capsule: “From now on, we will each take one Marrow Cleansing Pill every five days. Your physique will be greatly improved, and you will be able to quickly adapt to high gravity environments.”

"Hmm." Miriel nodded, her bright eyes looking at Li Zheng, a smile playing on her lips. "You seem to be in much better shape. Don't miss this opportunity; there's nothing that needs to be done!"

With that, she flipped over and pounced on Li Zheng. Li Zheng fought back fiercely: "Come on then, who's afraid of who!?"

Skip to the next part of the story, and we're on the second day.

As Feng Yue had predicted, Roscal arrived at the Gravity Research Institute and, upon hearing that Li Zheng had returned, immediately came to visit him.

When he knocked on the door, Li Zheng and the other person were still asleep...

Li Zheng glanced at the time; it was already past 10 a.m.

He made such a scene last night that he missed out on another treasure chest.

After getting up and dressed, Li Zheng told Miriel to go wash up first and then went to open the door.

"I heard from Feng Yue that you were injured and need to recuperate?" After seeing Li Zheng, Roscal looked him over with concern, but found no obvious wounds. "Are your internal organs injured? Should you get a full check-up? I know a few old doctors who are quite skilled; I can have them prescribe some medicine for you."

It's clear that Roskar was extremely anxious during the days Li Zheng was away.

Li Zheng was both amused and exasperated: "Actually, I'm fine now. If I consolidate my condition today, I can go to the research institute to continue training tomorrow."

"Huh? Tomorrow?" Rothcal pushed up his slipped-down glasses with a pained expression. "That's so far away..."

As a passionate researcher, he didn't want to waste a single second.

"Still think it's too long?" Miriel poked her head out of the bathroom, her mouth full of toothpaste foam. "I was planning to let him rest for two days and then go to the research institute for training the day after tomorrow. Since you think tomorrow is too long, then let him rest for two more days. How about the day after tomorrow?"

This kind of talk is a blatant and inhumane threat!

Roscal scratched his head, not wanting to offend either of the two people in front of him, and finally had to compromise: "Tomorrow! Tomorrow it is! You must come!"

Seeing his humble pleading look, Li Zheng smiled and shook his head: "Don't worry, I'll definitely go tomorrow."

After taking the Marrow Cleansing Pill that evening, and with the digestive aid from the exercise throughout the night, the medicine was absorbed and the body had long since recovered.

However, Miriel was still worried, so she insisted that Li Zheng take another day off.

"It's a deal!" Roskar was afraid that if he said anything more, Miriel would really ask Li Zheng to postpone the deadline, so he didn't dare to stay here and ran away.

Helpless, Li Zheng closed the door, went into the bathroom, and pulled Miriel to wash away the sweat from last night's workout.

Three hours later, the two walked onto the 375 block and strolled hand in hand.

“After I enter the gravity chamber, I won’t have much time to go shopping with you.” Li Zheng held Miri’s hand and walked down the street. “This time, I don’t know how long the training will last. It could be as short as twenty days or as long as one or two months. Today, I’ll take you shopping. Just tell me what you want to buy.”

"Mmm!" Miriel smiled sweetly. Li Zheng's willingness to accompany her shopping showed that he cared about her a lot. Otherwise, Li Zheng could have ignored her request and gone to the research institute to resume training immediately today.

"I do have a few things I need to buy, come with me!"

Miriel pulled Li Zheng along, jogging towards the shop they had noticed before, and bought several sets of sexy lingerie in different styles.

Then the two stopped shopping and went straight home, spending several hours trying on every outfit before stopping.

Li Zheng broke out in a sweat and felt refreshed.

He took a shower, came back and sat on the edge of the bed, putting his hand on Miriel: "Get up and wash your hands, we still have a treasure chest to open."
