Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

"Is this the Dark Realm that Lu Li spoke of?"

Xiao Siyuan looked around curiously.

There was no light here, yet everyone's face was clearly visible. Li Zheng was an anomaly; Li Zheng was the only one who could see his own reflection in him.

In the Dark Realm stands a colossal tree, its height beyond measure. A person standing beneath it appears as an ant gazing at the sky, only able to see its thick, sturdy trunk stretching endlessly, with a faint hint of yellowish-green in the far distance above.

Including Li Zheng, there were fifty-two people standing under the tree, occupying only a very small area.

The Bodhi tree, planted in the Dark Realm, has been growing constantly. In the past few days, it has grown from a sapling into an enormous, boundless tree, which is extremely exaggerated.

Around the giant tree were hundreds of figures of different sizes and races, standing still.

Watching the images, the fifty Water Blue Star players brought in by Li Zheng couldn't contain their curiosity and started discussing among themselves.

"That race looks so strange, they actually have three arms."

"Look over there, there's a four-legged creature!"

"And here, although you can't see the face, it looks like a panda."

"You idiots, all you do is watch the show. Don't you realize that the tree right next to us is the real treasure? Standing here, many things I couldn't understand before have suddenly become clear to me. It's amazing!"

After being reminded, everyone suddenly realized: "Yes, yes, yes, there was a sword move that Instructor Zhan taught during his live broadcast that I studied for a long time, but I couldn't figure out how to exert force. Just now, I suddenly got it. It turns out it was all thanks to this tree!"

"me too!"

"And I!"

Fifty people, each with different levels of understanding, have all benefited greatly from just standing here for a moment.

"Why are you still looking at foreign tribes? Let's concentrate on solving the problems we couldn't figure out before. This is a rare opportunity!" someone shouted as he sat down cross-legged and pondered deeply, followed by a large group of people sitting down next to him.

Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, Li Zheng felt quite gratified. His efforts to collect these images and bring them all in at once had not been in vain.

However, now is not the time for them to think about solutions to the problem; there are more important things to do.

"Everyone, look at me!" he said. His voice wasn't loud, but it carried clearly to everyone's ears, and every word was distinct, drawing everyone's attention to him.

"Only spiritual beings can enter the Dark Realm through certain means. For now, I am the only one who has mastered the means to enter here, so your time is limited. I will activate all the images in a moment. Choose the ones that interest you or that you think you can learn and study them under the tree."

Li Zheng said to the fifty people he had brought in, "Those who are capable can learn more, and those who are not capable should think carefully before acting. In the future, players entering the outer city will need you to lead and teach them. This is a great responsibility!"

"Don't worry, boss!" Wang Chaoran shouted from among the fifty people, "Helping others is a traditional virtue of every Chinese citizen. Even if you didn't say it, we would have done it!"

"Yes!" the others responded enthusiastically.

"That's good." Li Zheng smiled and waved his hand, and the three hundred images started moving automatically.

"Wow! It's moving! Amazing! It's just like those 3D projections I've seen in movies before!"

"That's a palm technique? Wow, it requires the coordination of three hands to use?"

"That's a leg technique that incorporates lightness skill... Damn, I only have two legs, I can't learn it!"

"That race has wings, I can't learn it!" "This one is good. Although it's a technique that uses tails to fight, it has the feel of staff fighting. I can learn it."

Each of the fifty people selected and carefully examined the combat skills videos that were suitable for them to learn, and then they settled down to study them seriously.

Soon, the noise gradually subsided, and finally, you could hear a pin drop.

Li Zheng nodded in satisfaction, then moved his finger to take Xiao Siyuan to a distance so as not to disturb them.

"Why don't you learn something to improve yourself?" Li Zheng asked. "The outer city is not like the matrix. You will encounter dangers when you go out. We will also have to go to the battlefield in the future. It may be very dangerous if we don't have martial arts skills."

Xiao Siyuan chuckled: "As a medical worker, even if I go to the battlefield, I'll be treating the wounded who are being evacuated from the rear. If the situation becomes so serious that we medics need to be deployed, I doubt that adding our small amount of combat power would make any difference."

The primary function of medics is to research medical methods to ensure that every soldier withdrawn from the battlefield can stand up again and preserve their strength.

They only take up arms and fight when absolutely necessary, usually at a critical moment of life and death, and their fighting strength is indeed a drop in the ocean.

"Three years."

Li Zheng turned his head and glanced in the direction of the fifty people, and said softly, "Based on the information I have collected in this short period of time, each new race only has three years to prepare for the final calamity when it enters the matrix."

More than four months have passed, and we only have two years and eight months left. We don't know how this war will end.

In truth, whether it's the Celestial Dragons, or any race living in the outer cities, wilderness, or within the Matrix, everyone is a loser in the fight against emotional storms.

If even one race had been able to overcome the emotional storm, the Matrix would have stopped wandering long ago and wouldn't have taken in so many races.

Li Zheng put himself in the shoes of the Water Blue Star people. He did not want the Water Blue Star people to become the next Heavenly Dragon Clan, nor did he want the Water Blue Star to be defeated and the entire race to cower in the outer city. At first, they were full of ambition and determined to one day launch a counterattack against the emotional storm, but in the end, they just gave up and gave up.

What he wanted was to completely resolve the emotional storm and calm everything down!
At that time, the terminal may repeat its old path, returning to the birthplaces of different races and sending them back to live the lives they want.

If they win, they can go home.

that……

And me?

Li Zheng was once again lost.

Since I am a clone, the central nervous system should be the place where I was born, my home.

But he still has memories of living on Earth and always wants to go back and see it.

but……

Can I go back?
Earth is in another universe. He doesn't even have a clear concept of what the universe is, let alone how big it is, or how to get to the universe where Earth is.

If I can't find my way home, is it still possible to get home?
Li Zheng suddenly felt like a lost soul who didn't belong to this world, wandering aimlessly, only stopping briefly when he encountered scenery that interested him.

"Forget it, why think so much?" Li Zheng found it funny himself. The outcome wasn't even decided yet, and he was already thinking about what to do after overcoming his emotional storm.

“Yeah, why think so much?” Xiao Siyuan echoed with deep agreement, “There are still more than two years left, and nobody knows how things will turn out by then.”
