Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

"you?"

Ye Kai looked at Chu Xiao, his eyes darting around, and said, "I have a good job for you, but I'm afraid you won't be willing to do it."

"Not willing?" Chu Xiao said with dissatisfaction, "Do you think I'm the kind of lazy kid who's afraid of hardship? Just tell me what kind of work you need!"

Ye Kai said, "Look, it's like this. Ye Yuan and I will definitely be researching all kinds of high-powered weapons in the future. Since they are weapons, we must test their power, right?"

Chu Xiao had a bad feeling: "If you dare to say that I'm your target, I'll transform right now and crush your bones!"

"Uh..." Ye Kai smiled awkwardly and stopped talking.

Chu Xiao's brows furrowed immediately: "Damn it, I treated you like a friend, and you actually wanted to use me to test your gun?"

Ye Kai quickly apologized and promised to treat Chu Xiao to a meal later as compensation, which finally calmed him down.

Li Zheng, however, suggested a better job for him: "Feng Shan might need help to take charge of the Fourth District. Why don't you go and assist him? When Ye Kai and the others head to the wilderness, you can go with them too."

"Okay!" Chu Xiao was very satisfied with this arrangement; it was much better than being a target for others to test their guns on.

In this way, all three fellow Earthlings were properly settled.

Li Zheng increased the pressure on the mental barrier he had quietly set up, blocking both sound and visuals, and then guided the three of them to focus their mental energy on the spot.

Surprisingly, the three fellow countrymen from Earth possessed mental strength comparable to Zhan Zhouzhou. They each condensed their first mental energy node in just twenty minutes, and the nodes were round, smooth, and lustrous, much stronger than the one that Miriel had condensed.

It should be noted that Miriel is a succubus, whose specialty is mental power, making her one of the best among all races.

"The Nine Heavens Commander who was able to deceive the three of them and erase his own presence must have had many extraordinary encounters, and his mental strength may have reached the limit of the outer city residents."

Li Zheng looked at the three people who were still stabilizing and thought to himself.

However, now that Ye Kai and the others have concentrated their spiritual power, that Nine Heavens Commander is no match for them. The next time they meet, Chu Xiao and the others will not only remember that such a person exists, but will also remember more of his characteristics, and may even be able to avoid him and forcibly leave a memory imprint on him.

"Compared to other aspects, mental defense methods should also be put on the research agenda."

Li Zheng pondered, "If we can't improve our mental defenses, Ye Kai and his group won't have a high chance of winning against the Heavenly Will Organization. On the contrary, they might lose their nodes, further enhancing the organization's strength!"

When he was studying that Fire Ape Clan member, he discovered that the grafting method of the Heavenly Will Organization had a very obvious drawback: each time something was plundered and grafted into one's own spiritual world, it had to be replaced by something even stronger!
The condensed spiritual energy nodes are clearly well-suited for those who have already grafted five to plunder, thus enabling them to begin grafting a sixth, a seventh, and so on...

Another characteristic of mental energy nodes is that each node that is formed is stronger than the last one.

"Therefore, the mental defense project must be developed as soon as possible, otherwise the residents of the outer city will become the Heavenly Will Organization's leek field!"

Before there is a breakthrough in defensive measures, Li Zheng does not plan to promote the node cohesion method on a large scale, in order to prevent any unforeseen changes if discovered by the Tianyi Organization.

"This matter is urgent." Li Zheng's brows furrowed deeper and deeper. The people of the Blue Star were starting to accelerate their entry into the outer city. There must be a terminal pushing and facilitating this behind the scenes.

Especially Fengshan, Li Zhengke hadn't forgotten that he killed many people when he avenged Yan Guang, and he himself possessed a certain amount of blood energy, which he only suppressed through other means.

It goes without saying who orchestrated Feng Shan's entry into the outer city.

Even Fengshan was allowed in, and the bottom line for the terminal was being relaxed more and more, which made Li Zheng have some bad thoughts.

"I still need to find someone to ask how the Black Dragon Ancestor and the others absorbed the blood essence of their clansmen into their own bodies."

Li Zheng thought to himself that some rules in the outer city could not be broken. As the "agent" of the terminal, it was fine for him to have certain privileges, but the situation in Fengshan could not be tolerated.

Otherwise, if discovered, it would become a weakness that would be detrimental to the Water Blue Star people as a whole.

Especially the three races including the Blood-Patterned Black Dragon.

Even though they are now in the same boat as Li Zheng and are grateful for his help in getting them into the outer city.

But if they discover that Fengshan is a bloodthirsty person, they will definitely complain about why their three clans' ancestors were not allowed to enter.

"The terminal's actions this time were really unwise. They should have discussed it with me beforehand, leaving so many hidden dangers."

Li Zheng took out the inscription card, hesitated for a moment, and then gave up the idea of ​​contacting the terminal.

There is no need for the terminal to report to him on anything he does. If he offers his opinions, it will inevitably give the terminal the feeling of "overstepping his bounds".

It's better to avoid trouble. I'll just clean up the mess for the terminal in private. "I hope Fengshan will be smart and not give himself away before I find a way to absorb blood energy."

As he pondered, Li Zheng suddenly felt a wave of weariness.

Although the arrival of Ye Kai and others today relieved some of the pressure from the Tianyi Organization, there was still a lot to do, and he was overwhelmed with other tasks and lacked suitable personnel in all aspects.

"Treasure chest, treasure chest, can you please be a little more helpful and give me something to solve the problem of weak mental defense?"

For the first time, Li Zheng actively hoped that the treasure chest system would provide him with something for a specific purpose, but he knew that this was unrealistic.

After all, the treasure chest system is basically just a generator for wish stone fragments now; if it could give them out, it probably would have done so already.

After Ye Kai and the other two stabilized the node, they each left.

Li Zheng removed his mental barrier, entered the gravity generation room, and notified the professor to begin today's training.

The professor didn't raise any questions after talking to them for so long, and cooperated with Li Zheng in the gravity training.

This continued until evening, when Li Zheng and Miriel took Xiaoying home.

They weren't planning on doing anything bad tonight, so they brought Sakura back to stay.

While Miriel was cooking dinner, Sakura played with the Red Porings on the side, while Li Zheng took out the things that Yan Bujin had taken out of the bag that day and began to count what was there.

"Ten bottles of Marrow Cleansing Pills, not bad."

"Fifty bottles of Qi-Nourishing Pills, so many?!"

"What kind of pill is this? Why does it smell like rice?"

"Ginseng? One... Good heavens, a whole ginseng root the length of a person was poured out of a box the size of a palm? How many years old must it be?"

"What is this? A Ganoderma lucidum? And it's as big as a bathtub in diameter?"

"What is this plant? Huh? It actually came back to life and turned into an insect?"

Yan Bujin was, after all, a Nascent Soul cultivator. Even though he had used up many treasures to deal with the Heavenly Tribulation, his remaining reserves were still quite considerable.

Unfortunately, only three types of pills remain: "Marrow Cleansing Pill," "Primordial Essence Pill," and "Rice Pill." It's estimated that these three pills were left behind because they were too low-end and wouldn't help Yan Bujin with his tribulation; otherwise, they would probably have been used up.

Then came some strange and unusual plants, many of which Li Zhengjian had never seen before, but they all had one thing in common: they were "big"!
It's incredibly big!
It's unusually large!

Not counting the fine, hair-like rootlets, the ginseng's main stem alone was as tall as Li Zheng!

Moreover, it looks extremely like a living person, with limbs, torso, and head all differentiated, and traces of facial features can be vaguely seen in the head area.

If it hadn't been lying there so still, like a dead object, Li Zheng would have thought he was seeing a moldy, hairy person.

Li Zheng had the Eye of Preys probe through them one by one, and only managed to discern the medicinal properties of a few plants; the rest remained unidentified.

However, most of them are compatible with elixirs, and Li Zheng plans to hand them over to the terminal so that it can take them for research.

In particular, he opened a box the size of a palm and pulled out a handful of all kinds of seeds, each one glistening and plump, looking quite extraordinary.

He dared not rashly hand it over to the farmers to plant, and categorized it as part of the batch of supplies delivered to the end users.

The terminal possesses far more technology than an agricultural doll, so entrusting it to him is the safest approach.

Besides these, there are many more strange and unusual things.

Examples include: metal, stone, soil, liquid, and wood.

I'm guessing these are materials used to refine so-called magical artifacts.

These items were limited in quantity and could not be produced, so Li Zheng kept them for himself, planning to wait until Yan Bujin finished studying the cultivation technique and then have him find a way to get him a magic weapon to play with.

After sorting everything, Li Zheng put the items away and noticed that Xiao Ying was drooling over a bottle of pills that smelled like rice.
