Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

There's an interesting question-and-answer session in Li Zheng's original memories.

Someone asked on a forum, "How do you create a villainous character in a reasonable way?"
The most upvoted answer was: Give them a miserable childhood.

Li Zheng felt that if people like Bai Yuan were left unchecked, they were very likely to go astray and cause harm to the region.

"You want to train him?" Li Zheng pulled Xiao Siyuan aside and asked again, "You need to think this through. Someone like him might already be psychologically twisted. Letting him continue to study medicine might not be a good thing."

“But his talent is truly remarkable.” Xiao Siyuan looked at Bai Yuan with admiration in his eyes: “How many people his age can master the technique of scarless suturing? He can!”

"No matter how talented someone is, if they don't have a good character, training them will only cause you trouble." Li Zheng frowned: "Have you really thought this through?"

“Old Li, we only have two and a half years left. Now is not the time to worry about his character. The most important thing is that we have to seize any talent that can be used for us.” Xiao Siyuan sighed, “Do you think I can’t see that he has problems? But we have no choice. If we don’t take unconventional approaches and follow the rules, can we develop to a level that is strong enough to fight back before the final calamity comes?”

People who follow the rules and do things step by step are reliable, but they lack ambition and are prone to holding others back at crucial moments.

"Row."

Seeing that Xiao Siyuan insisted on taking Bai Yuan with him, Li Zheng nodded without saying anything more: "But you have to keep an eye on him and make sure he doesn't cause any trouble."

Of all the people Li Zheng has met so far, only Bai Yuan gives him an extremely strange feeling.

This person is neither good nor evil. In particular, Bai Yuan's gaze towards everyone is devoid of any emotional fluctuation. It's not as if he's looking at living people, but rather at a bunch of walking and talking living flesh.

"Don't worry," Xiao Siyuan said confidently, "How could I not handle a little brat?"

During his time in the army, he saw all sorts of troublemakers, and he always managed to subdue them all.

No matter how crazy Bai Yuan was, Xiao Siyuan wasn't afraid that he could stir up trouble.

"hope so."

Li Zheng took a deep look at the information about Bai Yuan that Lao Pu had given him. This guy was really ruthless to himself. He had actually hidden twenty scalpels in the stitched-up wounds all over his body. Each scalpel was made of vibranium, and they didn't cut through his flesh and fall out. He must have practiced using his muscles to control them.

He returned to the three teenagers and bluntly told Bai Yuan, "I don't have high hopes for you. I didn't originally intend to bring you along, but Xiao Siyuan vouched for you. I hope you can achieve something in the future, at least don't disappoint Lao Xiao."

"hey-hey."

Bai Yuan smiled innocently, but his emotionless eyes made him look extremely strange: "I never let anyone down, but you'd better not have any expectations of me."

Li Zheng frowned deeply, and the resentful black hair that had been dormant for two months stirred once more: "Stop talking nonsense, get your inscription cards ready, and come with me."

After saying that, he turned around and called to Miriel and the others who were waiting nearby, and set off again for the 950th block.

Since Lao Xiao and the three kids were all newcomers to the outer city and had never been to the Sin Domain, they only earned a little white crystal coins by occasionally going on missions and couldn't afford the teleportation fee, so Li Zheng had to take on all of it.

Fortunately, there aren't many people, and he's quite wealthy now, so he doesn't feel much pressure.

After continuous teleportation, the group reappeared two days later before Yakumo, the teleportation gate receptionist in Block 950. Xiao Siyuan walked to Li Zheng's left, side by side with him, while Miriel, as usual, linked arms with him on the right. Behind them were Feng Yue and Mudala, who were half a step behind him.

Three teenagers followed at the back, forming two distinct circles, with Bai Yuan isolated on the outside.

Bai Yuan was not surprised by this situation; he was already used to it.

Li Zheng ignored Bayun and the other man and headed straight for the clinic.

"These are the people you sent here to study?"

Hearing the commotion, the doctor came out and glanced at Xiao Siyuan and the others: "Come with me. I'll take you to the records room first. All the medical records I've collected are stored there."

Xiao Siyuan had seen the doctor's original form from Channel 995 before, so he wasn't unfamiliar with him. However, the android doctor had only received information about Li Zheng, so he didn't know anyone else.

Xiao Siyuan led Bai Yuan and the other two into the side door with the doctor. Li Zheng waited outside for a moment, and the doctor came out and said to him, "Go and get them a translator, otherwise they won't be able to understand those medical documents."

The information collected by the doctor was written in the script of all races. Li Zheng was able to understand it mainly thanks to his eyes. The Eye of Preys had memorized the script of all races when he first entered the outer city. Li Zheng did not need to understand it himself; Old Preys would help translate it.

Xiao Siyuan could also do it, since he possessed Lao Pu's sub-body and could share the data. But Bai Yuan and the other two couldn't do it; we couldn't waste Lao Xiao's time translating the data simultaneously for them.

Li Zheng still has hundreds of sub-bodies that he hasn't sent out yet, but Bai Yuan and the others aren't qualified to receive such a precious ability.

"Mudala." Li Zheng called Mudala over, took out the inscription card and handed it to her: "Go and buy three translators. I have something to do and can't get away."

“Yes, my lord.” Mudala took the inscription card and turned to leave the clinic.

The doctor looked enlightened: "You wanted to see me about something?"

"I've thought of a way that might help patients with amnesia who have already woken up regain their past memories," Li Zheng relayed his idea from the previous two days to the doctor.

"Stimulate the memory area, collect information using a memory release device, and then re-inject it to impact those newly formed mental entities?" The doctor muttered thoughtfully, "Theoretically, it should be feasible, but we need to conduct several clinical trials before we can draw conclusions. Come with me."

He activated the elevator to go underground, and then operated it a few times to raise the "clinic" back up, so that Mudala and the others left up there wouldn't get lost.

The doctor randomly selected a ward and performed a series of complex operations on the monitoring device at the door. A faint white gas rose from the room and quickly dissipated.

Inside the ward, the patient who was crawling around lost consciousness ten seconds later. Only then did the doctor open the door: "You stay outside, I'll go in and get him out."

The patient in the room was a lion-headed man with a ring around his neck and a very robust build.

The lion-headed man, who looked to weigh at least 300 kilograms, was lifted out of the ward like a chick by the doctor. He then closed the ward and introduced the man to Li Zheng, saying, "This is a regular customer of the clinic. He bought a batch of medicine from me before his last trip to the wilderness, so he's the perfect person to test it on."

The experiment was a success, and the debt was repaid.

Experiment failed? Pay with your life.
