Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 83 Memory Releaser: Fighter!
Lu Li finally opened the door and asked, feigning composure, "Did you need something?"

"It's nothing, I just came to see what my good son looks like." Li Zheng looked him up and down seriously, and clicked his tongue, saying, "He's just average-looking, nowhere near as good-looking as me."

After saying that, he turned and left, leaving behind a sentence that made Lu Li feel extremely hurt in his self-esteem.

"I don't have a son as ugly as you. From now on, we're severing all ties between us!"

"..."

Depend on!
Lu Li was so angry that his teeth itched.

You think you can just sever the father-son relationship like that?
wrong!

The focus has shifted.

What's wrong with me?

Back when I was still in school, I was a heartthrob, receiving love letters from people every day.

The tender and affectionate content showed how infatuated she was with herself.

For example: Don't leave after school!

Or to put it another way: Meet me in the woods at 8 PM, if you come alone, it's a one-on-one fight!

Unfortunately, I was determined to become a scientist at the time, so I had to prioritize my studies and would go to the internet cafe as soon as school was over. I never went to the internet cafe.

ah~
I'm like a firefly in the night sky, a bright spot wherever I fly. How dare you say I'm ugly and unworthy to be your son?
I bother!

Eh?
wrong!

You've missed the point again!
This guy called the door open, just to take a quick look?
You haven't asked me for the money back?
call!
That's good!
Go to sleep!
"boom!"

Lu Li slammed the door shut, lay down in the corner of the room, and just as he closed his eyes to rest, he suddenly opened them wide and sat up abruptly.

It seemed they finally realized something was wrong.

With a slight frown, Lu Li got up, opened the door, and walked out of the capsule residence.

Wow.

Go back, close the door, and lie down.

"Yeah, that's easier now."

……

On the other side, Li Zheng released the capsule residence and took Xiaoying inside.

"Poor child, to have contracted such a disease..."

Li Zheng's insistence on calling Lu Li out was not out of boredom, but rather to take the opportunity to check Lu Li's information.

Lu Li contracted acute transient psychotic disorder, commonly known as "intermittent psychosis."

"I knew this kid was acting crazy in the regional chat, turns out he was sick..."

Li Zheng shook his head; this disease has a possibility of being cured.

However, judging from Lu Li's appearance, he may not have received any treatment.

As for the reason, Li Zheng didn't know, nor was he interested in finding out.

Although we've chatted a few times on the regional channel, this is still our first meeting, so it's none of my business what happens to them.

The so-called communication is shallow and deep.

It's disliked.

"Forget it, don't worry about it too much. Just let Fengshan and the others know in private later and ask them to take better care of him."

Li Zheng shook his head, losing all interest in taking on any more commissions. He became completely absorbed in the fibrous material. "After all, with such a disease, who knows when I might die? Taking good care of me will at least help me live a little longer."

I just don't know if there are any items in the Matrix game that can cure him..."

After standing there in a daze for a while, Li Zheng waved his hand casually, but his hand met empty air.

"Huh? Didn't I expose that nanobot? Why isn't it there?"

Li Zheng frowned, checked the notification logs, and finally found the problem.

[The nanorobot skeleton is currently being leased; will it be subject to mandatory recycling?]

"It's been rented out? Is there any way to see who rented it?"

After browsing through the records and trading hall for a while, Li Zheng couldn't find any information about the players who rented the equipment.

"Recall confirmed!"

Whoever rented it, they forcibly reclaimed it without confiscating my belongings or paying me. Why should they benefit from it?
After checking his private chat list and asking each person he knew, Li Zheng confirmed that it wasn't them who had rented it, which made him feel much more at ease.

"Don't curse me, curse that damn foreigner. If you give me the payment too, I definitely won't take it back."

Li Zheng made up an excuse for himself, then put the nanobots back on the shelf, choosing free rental (energy self-sufficiency), and designated Feng Shan and Xiao Siyuan as the targets.

The reason for designating these two is twofold. First, Fengshan's explosive power is prone to damaging his bones. With this device, he can fight more freely, increasing his chances of victory and safety. After all, his malicious detection pocket watch is quite ineffective, and there's still a chance he might encounter dangerous rooms.

The second person chosen was Xiao Siyuan, mainly because of his profession.

Who knows, if we team up again someday, the other person can just rent it when they need it, saving us the trouble of having to dig it out and hand it over to them at the last minute.

With everything settled, Li Zheng lay in the fiber bundle and waved his hand again.

This time, two black props appeared in his hands.

One is a USB flash drive that is entirely black with mysterious patterns.

"Is this an illustrated guide?"

Li Zheng looked at the USB drive, but the matrix system did not provide any attribute information.

The Eye of Preys did provide a brief reminder.

[A familiar-looking, mysterious USB flash drive; you should know its purpose.]

Collect as many as you can; you might discover some unexpected benefits.

"Collect as much as possible? What are the benefits?"

Without a data table, even a USB drive wouldn't help him learn. Li Zheng threw the things back into the pile of props and looked at another item.

[Memory Releaser - Fighter, Diamond Level, Consumable Item]
Using this skill will grant you a random melee-related mastery.

How to use: Simply wear it on your head.

The memory release device looks like a full-coverage black helmet. Li Zheng tried to disassemble it, but received a response that it could not be disassembled.

Of course, he was just trying it out; he didn't really intend to break it down.

"Mastery of melee combat..."

A flicker of excitement flashed in Li Zheng's eyes.

In some respects, proficiency-based abilities are no less valuable than genetic abilities.

Have you not seen how Zhan Zhouzhou, alone with his sword, managed to hold back the largest number of mechanical mantises in the ancient ruins?

Even Li Zheng, whose physical abilities are at the Bronze++ level, is far inferior to her.

Moreover, Zhan Zhouzhou's physical attributes are at the upper limit of Black Iron+ and ++, much weaker than Li Zheng's, but because of his proficiency in swordsmanship, his performance in actual combat is much more outstanding than Li Zheng's.

"I used it, but I don't know what mastery I'll gain."

Li Zheng took it with him, and after starting it, everything went black.

The next moment, his consciousness found himself in a spacious martial arts training hall, where a figure was practicing moves.

Weapon—gun!

Li Zheng looked at it for a while but couldn't figure it out, so he wanted to go closer to take a look.

The moment the thought crossed my mind, I found myself directly in the perspective of the practitioner, my "body" moving with the movements of the exercise, a long spear dancing in my hand.

Each time Li Zheng wielded his spear, he felt as if he had gained some fragmented memories in his mind, which were basically the key points of practicing spear techniques.

Gradually, Li Zheng became immersed in the gun skills practice.

……

Inside a room, a man shrouded in a thick aura of blood suddenly opened his eyes, looked at his legs bent at an odd angle, and frowned deeply.

Why were nanobots forcibly recycled?

Puzzled, he tried to contact the player who had previously rented out the nanobots, but the system indicated that the player was offline.

"died?"

He remained silent for a moment, feeling extremely annoyed but helpless.

The landlord died, and no one will ever pay the price he paid.

Since the other party's capsule dwelling has been destroyed, the system will not retrieve anything from it to return.

Moreover, what I gave up back then was a tool to develop genetic abilities, which that person must have already used up.

"Forget it, let's look in the trading hall and see if anyone has listed similar items."

After opening the trading hall and flipping through it a few times, a rental item suddenly popped up.

"It's available now?"

After glancing at the price, I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was actually free to rent; all I had to do was pay a little energy.

"Rent it!"

Overjoyed, he acted swiftly, as if afraid someone else would beat him to it, and hurriedly tried to rent it.

[You are not the player specifically requested for the transaction; the lease has failed.]

"What? There's even this restriction?"

He glanced at the players who had been named; one of them looked familiar, while the other he had never seen before.

"It seems to be one of the players who argued with William in the world chat before..."

His breathing quickened as he glanced at the landlord's name.
