Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 776 It Should Be in Time

"Lord!"

Yan Bujin opened his eyes, climbed out from a pile of objects, and bowed to Li Zheng: "Your subordinate has opened the Sumeru Bag."

He wanted to ask Li Zheng where he found his Sumeru Bag, but remembering his experience of coming to this place, he swallowed his words.

It seems that the Lord followed the same method and used that box magic weapon again.

However, he still had doubts in his mind: why did the master not take it out yesterday, but waited a day?

"Perhaps even the owner of that magical artifact cannot use it at will. I heard that my Sumeru Bag was left behind at the Tribulation Ground, so I used great magical power to retrieve it?"

However, in this way, the Sumeru bag would no longer belong to him.

In essence, he had already died under the tribulation lightning, so the Sumeru Bag was essentially ownerless.

Li Zheng was able to find the Sumeru Bag through his own ability.

As for Yan Bujin helping to open the bag, it was merely his duty as a subordinate to his master, at most fulfilling the task assigned by his master.

"Ok!"

Li Zheng nodded in satisfaction. This kid is quite sensible. He thought he would use the excuse that the bag belonged to him to get it back.

"You mentioned you obtained a demonic cultivation technique. Where is it?"

Yan Bujin picked out a jade slip from the pile of miscellaneous items and presented it with both hands: "My lord, please take a look."

Li Zheng stared at the long, thin jade tablet, which looked exactly like the bamboo slips used to record text in ancient dramas, but was only one long. He understood: "Since the surface is empty, do I need to use my mental power to see the information inside?"

"My lord is wise!" Yan Bujin thought to himself: The terminology used for divine sense here is really strange. They actually call it spiritual power.

Li Zheng took the jade slip and probed it with his spiritual power.

Unsurprisingly, he couldn't understand it.

He recognized every single word, but when he put them in pairs, he was completely lost.

Not to mention, this technique only has text, without punctuation, so he couldn't even tell where to break the sentence...

It felt like reading a multi-million-word novel written in Morse code, and there was no translation available for comparison.

It can be said that the world of Yan Bujin has done an extremely thorough job of keeping its cultivation techniques secret.

After failing to find anything, Li Zheng asked, "Can you understand it?"

To be frank, I only know a little bit.

Although he couldn't understand everything, he could still deduce some of the terminology from the context. Given some time, translating the entire manual wouldn't be a problem.

The real difficulty lies in the fact that this world lacks spiritual energy, and it's uncertain whether this demonic cultivation technique is like the Golden Light Big Dipper Sword Art, making it impossible to cultivate.

If he is unable to cultivate, he will have to find another way to replace the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Then the cultivation method needs to be modified.

We still need to try to modify the technique...

This will take even longer.

"Alright, I'll leave this cultivation technique to you." Li Zheng placed the jade slip back in his hand and said, "I'll take the rest with me. Do you have any complaints?"

"Your subordinate thanks Your Majesty for the right to borrow it."

He expressed his gratitude beyond words, without mentioning any complaints. Instead, he thanked Li Zheng for lending him the jade slip, implying that everything belonged to Li Zheng, including the jade slip, which Li Zheng had lent him for reading and that he would return it later.

Li Zheng gave him a deep look, then put all the miscellaneous items into the capsule. He would organize them when he had time, and if he found anything of unknown use, he would come back to ask Yan Bujin.

“I’ve found you a good job.” Li Zheng recounted how he had asked Professor Reina to familiarize Yan Bujin with the genetic force: “From now on, you’ll go to work during the day and study the cultivation technique at night. You need to work on both fronts simultaneously and not slack off, understand?” “Go to work?” Yan Bujin’s mind went blank. He had cultivated for five hundred years and had never worked for anyone else before.

Now that he's a dignified Nascent Soul Realm True Person, why does he still need to go out and work?
If word gets out, where will he put his face?

"What's wrong?" Li Zheng asked casually. "Are you dissatisfied with this job?"

"My lord is only doing this for the sake of revising the cultivation method. How could I dare to have any complaints?" Yan Bujin trembled and said repeatedly, "I will go and take my place today. I will do my best and dare not slack off in the slightest!"

"Okay." Li Zheng nodded and said, "That's good. I have other things to do. I'll come back to ask about the progress when I have time. If you encounter any difficulties, you know where we live, so just come find me."

"Your subordinate respectfully sees you off, my lord!"

Yan Bujin bowed and saw Li Zheng off, then revealed a bitter expression.

"Five hundred years of wealth, all gone in one day. We've done all the work for someone else!"

Five hundred years!

Five hundred years of savings, except for the resources used up during the Heavenly Tribulation, all the rest went to others.

"Fortunately, I used most of it during my tribulation, so it wasn't too bad..."

……

“I just saw several bottles in that pile of stuff that are exactly the same containers as the Marrow Cleansing Pills and Vitality Cultivation Pills we got from the treasure chests before,” Miriel said. “We were lucky to get even one or one bottle before, but we got so many this time! We’ve really hit the jackpot!”

Li Zheng raised his hand and opened his palm. A bottle appeared in his hand. After removing the stopper, a familiar fragrance of medicinal pills wafted out. It was a whole bottle of Marrow Cleansing Pills!

Li Zheng flipped his hand and put it away, then solemnly said, "Now it is almost certain that the world Yan Bujin is in is indeed another universe, and the rules of their world can be controlled by people through cultivation."

This also results in those people possessing formidable combat abilities; moving mountains and filling seas with a wave of their hand is perhaps child's play for them.

"I used to think that their world's technology was too backward and the creatures were ignorant," Li Zheng pondered. "Now that I think about it, isn't this cultivation system a kind of alternative science?"

The end of science is indeed metaphysics...

With the addition of Yan Bujin, dealing with emotional storms in the future will surely be much easier.

"Perhaps he can create a miracle, allowing another race among the myriad races to emerge that can completely withstand the emotional storm outside the matrix?"

The Sin Domain was originally part of the "Matrix," but it was taken over by twisted creatures.

Having entrenched themselves for so long, the myriad races lacked the strength to completely eliminate them, to the point that many outer city residents had almost forgotten that it should be the territory of the Matrix, not the so-called Sin Domain.

Li Zheng dared not imagine that he could lead the people of Water Blue Star to completely resolve the emotional storm. He would be content as long as he could gain the power to fight against it for a long time.

He has now found two ways to quickly improve the strength of the Water Blue Star people.

One is the gift from the void, the way spiritual energy nodes are condensed.

A strong mental force can enable everyone to freely enter and exit the environment of the Sin Realm without being harmed.

The weakness is that once you enter the Sin Domain, all your mental energy must be used to resist the influence of the environment, and you still need to rely on your own strength in combat.

Another channel is the Gravity Research Institute.

The research institute can greatly enhance physical strength, and with long-term training, one day it will be able to gain the combat power to fight against high-level twisted creatures.

Another undetermined method is the cultivation technique that Yan Bujin has just begun researching.

Once the research is completed, it may become a channel to simultaneously enhance both mental and physical strength. With the three combined, progress will be extremely rapid!
"Two years..." Li Zheng silently murmured to himself, "It should be enough time."

After returning to the Institute of Reconstruction with Miriel, he saw several familiar figures in the gravity chamber.
