Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 800 The Role of Special Physique

"it's over?"

Li Zheng stood there motionless for a long time, then suddenly blinked and came to his senses in a daze.

He sensed his own condition and found that his genetic energy was completely depleted, and he was also feeling somewhat mentally exhausted.

Most importantly, my body felt as if it had been training continuously in a 21x gravity field for three days and three nights, leaving me completely exhausted.

I had just come to my senses when my legs went weak and I almost collapsed.

Fortunately, Mudala was behind him, and he lay down in his arms, feeling two very bouncy cushions behind him, which were quite comfortable to lean on.

"You've finally snapped out of it." Miriel nervously grasped Li Zheng's hand, her eyes filled with worry.

Mudala's voice came from above: "The mistress called for His Majesty for a long time but there was no response. It almost frightened her."

Li Zheng hadn't figured out what was happening yet. He only remembered that he had actively blocked out all his consciousness and handed everything over to his newly developed instincts.

Looking at Miriel, Li Zheng felt a warmth in his heart: "I'm fine, I'm sorry to have worried you."

As he spoke, he looked in the direction where the twisted creatures had gathered, but instead of seeing corpses, he only saw a pile of charred remains. He was immediately stunned: "What happened? Did a powerful expert appear and take care of it for us?"

Mudala exclaimed in surprise, "My lord, don't you remember? These were all your doing!"

"I...I did it?" Li Zheng was even more surprised: "I have such powerful methods?"

How come I don’t know?
“It was definitely you who did it,” Miriel said. “Just now, you used fire to create a patch of glowing green flames, then snapped your fingers, and those twisted creatures exploded and burned to charcoal.”

"..."

Li Zheng was silent for a moment, then shook his head: "Impossible! The Ice and Fire Attachment is at most only at the King level, and the explosion is only one level higher than the Ice and Fire Attachment. How could it have such great destructive power?"

He didn't believe it instinctively, but Miriel wouldn't lie to him, so he was actually half-believing and half-doubting.

"Could it be that these two abilities still have untapped potential?"

Li Zheng's heart stirred, and he focused his mental energy into himself, using the method Professor Reina had taught him to search for the patterns left by those genetic abilities in his body.

Upon closer inspection, a clue was discovered: "Huh?"

One of the patterns was shaped like half a snowflake and half a flame. Li Zheng remembered that when he explored it before, this pattern was only a very small size, but now it had become more than three times larger than before!
On the other side, next to a snowflake, is a twelve-sided polygon, more than three times larger than before.

Right next to the flames was a small mushroom cloud.

The mushroom cloud didn't get bigger; its patterns just became more complex.

In addition, there is a separate circular grid pattern, which should represent 'extreme isolation'.

"Could this be what Professor Reina was talking about... genetic ability modification?"

Li Zheng recalled the terms he had learned before, and then another question popped into his mind: "But... how the hell did I do that?"

He had no recollection of it at all; it was entirely something his body did unconsciously.

This shows that, if he is conscious and knows the method, he can do the same thing. "It feels a bit like when I left the spatial annihilation version of the Swallow in the Dark Realm. It just happened out of nowhere." Li Zheng frowned slightly, which made him wonder if he had some hidden talent that hadn't been discovered yet.
“Hmm…” Li Zheng thought about it carefully, and suddenly remembered a term that Yan Bujin had mentioned: “Formless Body!”

At the time, Yan Bujin coveted this so-called "formless body" physique, and when he learned that he could not obtain one, he showed a particularly heartbroken expression.

"I'll have to ask Yan Bujin when I get back next time. What's so special about this Formless Body?" Li Zheng thought to himself.

He hadn't taken Yan Bujin's words seriously before, since they came from another universe, and whether they would apply under the rules of this universe was another matter.

However, it seems that there are some things he has to start paying attention to.

He moved his finger, took out the capsule, pressed it, and it popped out. Li Zheng turned his head and said, "Help me inside..."

As he tilted his head, a large pink jujube appeared before Li Zheng's eyes, and his pupils dilated in surprise.

Instantly, my whole body went limp and powerless, except for one spot that remained firm.

He quickly looked up at Mudala's face a few times, trying to soften his stance again.

Ah, this face is truly the number one weapon to make someone a saint!

Any evil thoughts related to the Fourth Sin Domain vanish instantly upon seeing this face.

"Mudala." Li Zheng stood up with the help of the two women. His arm kept brushing against the pink jujube. To avoid such an embarrassing situation, he could only assign Mudala some tasks: "Here's a mission for you: collect the magic crystals from the bodies of all the twisted creatures."

"I'll go right away!" Mudala replied, releasing Li Zheng and walking towards a short distance away.

Li Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, then collapsed onto Miriel: "Help me inside to rest for a while. I don't think I'll recover from this exhaustion anytime soon."

“Hmm.” Mirell helped Li Zheng into the capsule residence. Unfortunately, the bed was left in Block 375 and not brought out, so Li Zheng could only lie down on the hard floor of the residence.

Miriel sat down next to him, pinching a small patch of flesh on his waist with her fingers, and questioned, "Was that comfortable just now?"

Li Zheng feigned indifference: "What do you mean, comfortable? I don't know what you're talking about."

"Hmph!" Miriel pouted, looking at Li Zheng's current state, unable to bring herself to pinch her hard, and said sourly, "You could have given Mudala a disguise, but you chose to ignore it, and I noticed the look in your eyes..."

She hesitated, saying, "If... if you really like that kind of body, I wouldn't mind if you took another one, but I have to be the top one, and she'll have to listen to me from now on..."

Regarding her physique, Mirelle knew she couldn't make any changes, and she also knew she had no right to make any demands on Li Zheng.

Strictly speaking, not only her, but also the Destruction Clan, the Blood-Patterned Black Dragon Clan, the Vampire Clan, the Pain Clan, and all other races in the outer city, are all of lower status than Li Zheng.

After all, Li Zheng's true form was the one who created the "Matrix," and his spirit was transformed into a terminal, holding the highest power in the entire Matrix.

To put it bluntly, Li Zheng could treat these races as slaves and take whatever he wanted from them.

So if Li Zheng really wanted to do something, Miriel felt that she could express her dissatisfaction, but she couldn't stop him. So she might as well express her approval, as long as she could ensure that her position by Li Zheng's side was not affected.

“You’re overthinking it,” Li Zheng said calmly. “Do you think Mudara herself doesn’t know her condition? Do you think the Destroyer Clan doesn’t mind this level of exposure? You’re sorely mistaken! The reason Mudara is pretending to be oblivious is because she has discovered her advantage and wants to use it to completely bind herself to me.”

Once the bond is established, Li Zhengke will have no way to back out of his promise to help her take revenge on the Destroyer Clan.
