Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

"and many more!"

Li Zheng suddenly noticed another key point: "What does 'a free treasure chest for the first upgrade' mean? Didn't we get a random quality chest every day before? Where does the word 'free' come from?"

Despite the system upgrade, Li Zheng's doubts remained unanswered; the treasure chest system still lacked the ability to communicate.

Helpless, he had no choice but to find a way to study it himself.

Concentrating his mind, a primal impulse arose within him, and a thought flashed through his mind: "Open the system panel!"

brush!
A magical space seemed to appear inside his spiritual body, similar to the data panel that the Eye of Preys had previously provided him, displaying some basic data and information.

【Ultimate Fantasy Treasure Chest System】

Collect fantasy points to exchange for treasure chests of different grades. Treasure chests are divided into eight grades: Yellow, Mystic, Earth, Heaven, Wilderness, Flood, Universe, and Universe.

In addition, there are "Supreme" grade treasure chests, which are randomly obtained when exchanging treasure chests.

The host can obtain 10-100 random fantasy points daily.

[Fantasy Points can be used to exchange for treasure chests; different quality chests have different prices. Fantasy Points can also be obtained through other means; please explore them on your own.]

"..."

"..."

"..."

Li Zheng remained silent for a long time, then looked up at the cave ceiling: "What's with this strong sense of déjà vu from a trashy novel with a cheat system?"

And how come the functionality was weakened after the system upgrade?
Previously, you could get a random quality treasure chest every day, but now you need to exchange it for so-called fantasy points, which means that... the way you obtain treasure chests has been restricted.

"Unless the contents of these treasure chests are stronger than we imagined, it doesn't make sense." Li Zheng stroked his chin, pondering, "Let's extract the free treasure chests first and see what this fantasy treasure chest is all about."

extract!

[A free treasure chest has been distributed. Congratulations, host, for obtaining a Tier 1 treasure chest.]

Wow~
Suddenly, a burst of light shone before Li Zheng's eyes, illuminating the entire cave in a magnificent display, while a melodious and refreshing sound filled his ears.

Amidst the colorful light, a square, light blue, semi-transparent treasure chest appeared out of thin air, seemingly supported by some force, and slowly landed on the ground without making a sound.

As the light faded and the music stopped, Li Zheng was able to see the details on the surface of the treasure chest.

The top of the Earth-level treasure chest had the character "地" (earth) written in some strange script. Although Li Zheng couldn't understand it, he could understand the meaning of the character.

The writing was very strange, seemingly an interpretation of the word "earth". Seeing it, I had a series of ambiguous feelings, like someone with insufficient knowledge suddenly seeing a profound mathematical formula. Although I was confused and could not understand it completely, I could vaguely understand a lot of things.

In other words, this text must have some kind of application, but Li Zheng is currently unable to fully understand it.

"Truly worthy of being called a mystical treasure chest; even a single character on the chest is so profound." Li Zheng wiped his forehead, shifting his gaze. As he looked at the text, his understanding grew, yet he couldn't systematically organize it. This meant that even with his mental strength, he couldn't maintain a fully clear mind, gradually becoming absorbed in his understanding, slowing down his thought process, and potentially causing it to stagnate completely. Reaching out to open the treasure chest, a peculiar aura seemed to emanate from within, instantly filling the entire cave. The originally dark and damp cave interior instantly became fresh, elegant, and dry, as if this wasn't a wild cave, but rather a celestial abode.

[Congratulations, host! You have obtained the following from the Earth-level Treasure Chest: one dose of the Profound-grade pill "Mysterious Female Rebirth Powder", one Profound-grade manual "Myriad Evil Demon Technique", and one Spirit Stone Mine (Barren).]

“Three things…” Li Zheng was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed: “Finally, we don’t have that damn wishing stone fragment anymore!”

This might be the only good news after the system upgrade. Li Zheng harbored deep resentment towards those useless wishing stone fragments. He had collected tens of thousands of fragments and would play with them like jigsaw puzzles when he had nothing to do, but he couldn't even put together a complete wishing stone. It was truly a huge rip-off.

Now that he's finally rid himself of that thing, Li Zheng is extremely relieved.

"Let's first see what the functions of these three items are."

On the system page, Li Zheng found the space where the system stored the prizes. It was very spacious, with three light spheres floating inside. Through the light spheres, he could see that each contained a package wrapped in oil paper, a jade slip, and... a vein of mineral mixed with an ordinary stone and some kind of dark blue mineral.

First, take out the oil paper package. The package was secured with a thin red string. Inside was some emerald green powder. Since the spirit body had no sense of smell or taste, Li Zheng didn't know if the powder had any special smell.

[Mysterious Female Rebirth Powder: Resurrects the dead and heals all wounds.]

The system's description was very simple, so simple that Li Zheng was unsure of its specific effects.

"In fantasy worlds, things like bringing the dead back to life and healing flesh and bones seem quite common, but their effects are incredibly powerful in other worlds." Li Zheng held the powder, looking at his own corpse. "Should we give it a try?"

If it works well, it might be able to repair the corpse and give me a chance to "resurrect".

If it doesn't work well... then a reward will have been wasted...

Although he is currently only a spiritual being and does not have a physical body, many things are inconvenient for him, and he cannot even return to the outer city.

But he could also wait in this wilderness, waiting for the residents of the outer city to come. He could temporarily parasitize their bodies, smuggle himself into the outer city, and then ask the terminal for help to clone another body, learn the inexhaustible methods of possession, and thus "resurrect" as well.

But if I did that, I would lose my "formless body," and...

Li Zheng also discovered something he hadn't noticed before: he couldn't contact the Dark Realm anymore.

The Dark Realm plays a very important role, as it contains all of Li Zheng's accumulated resources over this period, especially the Bodhi Tree, whose value is immeasurable.

"We'll try anything, even if it's a dead end." Once Li Zheng made up his mind, he figured it was worth it to exchange a dose of medicine powder whose value was currently immeasurable for a chance to rediscover the Dark Realm, the Bodhi Tree, and other treasures.

The powder was poured into the corpse's mouth, and with a burst of mental energy, the powder automatically slid into its stomach.

Logically, a corpse should have lost its digestive function and be unable to absorb the effects of medicine.

However, the medicine from the mystical treasure chest seemed to have some function that defied conventional theory. It slowly released its effects, was absorbed by the corpse, and reactivated the cells that had lost their vitality.

As the wound writhed, Li Zheng observed that dense granulation tissue was growing from the gap in the heart area, and the corpse was actually beginning to "regenerate"!
