Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 844 The Farthest Distance in the World

"Truly worthy of being called a treasure chest system with the word 'fantasy' in its name."

Li Zheng touched his fully restored body, clicking his tongue in admiration: "A single bite of the reward from the treasure chest can reverse the boundary between life and death, bringing someone back to life."

This kind of functionality is something that science fiction cannot easily achieve.

"It's a pity there's only one dose, otherwise, if we could have it analyzed at the terminal and its components found, we might be able to replicate it." Li Zheng's ears twitched slightly, and he turned his head to look towards the entrance of the cave, where a tall figure appeared.

"Who?"

"Li Zheng?"

"Drunken Evil?"

Li Zheng was surprised. Hadn't Zui Xie Xiao run away? How could he suddenly appear in the cave?

"It's me." Zui Xiexiao took a few steps closer, looking at Li Zheng suspiciously. Finally, his gaze lingered on the large hole left in his chest because although he had returned to his body and fully integrated into himself, he still didn't have time to change his clothes.

For many races, this is a fatal blow.

"what are you doing here?"

"What are you doing here?"

The two asked the question almost simultaneously.

"I'll just browse around."

"Just a moment of curiosity."

The two of them spoke up to explain at the same time.

"..."

"..."

The atmosphere fell into silence and awkwardness.

After a moment, Li Zheng spoke again: "What have you thought about my previous suggestion?"

Not long ago, Zui Xie Xiao said that if Li Zheng hadn't died, he would have found him and given him an answer as to whether he was willing to share the Heavenly Dragon Secret Technique.

Before Zui Xiexiao could speak, Li Zheng said again, "Alright, you don't need to say anything more. I don't want your Heavenly Dragon Clan's secret technique."

With the Mystic Treasure Chest System, and having confirmed that the chests could yield cultivation manuals similar to those Yan Bujin had mentioned, Li Zheng no longer cared about the heritage of this cosmic race.

He believed that even the most basic magical treasure chest could not possibly contain any inferior secret techniques passed down by the Heavenly Dragon Clan.

"No more?"

Li Zheng casually said he didn't want the Heavenly Dragon Secret Technique, but for some reason, Zui Xie Xiao heard it and sensed contempt, disdain, and disgust. He immediately flew into a rage: "You think you can just say you don't want it? You don't want it, huh? I'm going to give it to you anyway!"

wow~
With a wave of his hand, Zui Xie Xiao took out a pile of over a hundred memory release devices and stacked them all in front of him: "These are all the inherited secret techniques of my Heavenly Dragon Clan. Except for the innate secret techniques, which cannot be taught to others, they are all here. Take them!"

"what?"

Li Zheng was taken aback, then laughed and said, "Don't misunderstand, I'm not trying to provoke you or playing any kind of trick. I really don't want to..."

"No!" Zui Xie Xiao exclaimed as if he had been greatly insulted. "It's not a matter of whether you want it or not, it's about whether I want to give it to you or not, so you have to accept it!"

“I understand…” Li Zheng suddenly realized, and said, “In our hometown, this is called being stubborn. Once you have an idea, you will insist on doing it no matter what others say.”

"Stubborn donkey..." Zui Xiexiao stared intently at Li Zheng: "Don't think I can't tell that this is an insult!"

“If that’s how you think, there’s nothing I can do.” Li Zheng paused and said, “Alright, since you’re being so sincere, it wouldn’t be right for me not to accept it.”

Li Zheng raised his hand and put all the memory release devices into the capsule. He asked again, "You still haven't answered me how you suddenly appeared here. Don't tell me you found me by smelling my scent." Zui Xie Xiao hesitated for a moment. He originally wanted to directly tell Li Zheng about what happened after he met the Evil Eye and ask him to help find the thief who stole the item from him.

But in the end, he just shook his head slightly and said, "It's nothing. I met an acquaintance around here earlier. He heard some noise and thought he was here, so I came to check."

"is it?"

Li Zheng's heart skipped a beat. He guessed that the noise Zui Xie Xiao heard was the celestial music that appeared when he drew the treasure chest. It turned out that the light effects and sounds were not only something he could hear and see.

I need to be more careful when retrieving treasure chests in the future. Everyone has their own core secrets, and some secrets cannot be exposed casually.

Li Zheng doesn't plan to tell the terminal about this treasure chest system upgrade. At most, he'll give them some of the items from the treasure chests to study.

Because of his contact with clone number 1024, Li Zheng began to have some doubts about the terminal. Perhaps, as he had previously thought, even the positive aspects of humanity could be infected by negative influences again. The terminal... was probably no longer pure.

But for some reason, after Li Zheng had the thought of being wary of the terminal, he always felt that something was not quite right.

He was busy dealing with Zui Xiexiao and didn't have time to think about it carefully. He could only put this strange feeling aside for now and ponder it more carefully later.

"And you?" Zui Xie Xiao asked as well, "You didn't say what you're doing here either."

"Me?" Li Zheng lowered his head, showing off his disheveled appearance: "Isn't it obvious? I came here to heal my wounds."

"By the way, what about that attacker who looks just like you?" Zui Xiexiao recalled the terrifying sense of oppression that guy had given him, and the lingering fear made his heart tremble.

"He? He's temporarily retreated." Li Zheng didn't specify the final outcome: "But he'll probably come back, and then I'll resolve everything completely."

"Oh..." Zui Xie Xiao nodded in understanding: "So, you lost, and then fled here to heal your wounds while the other party was away?"

Seeing how bluntly he spoke, Li Zheng's face darkened: "I suppose so."

He didn't lose at all; he had already been killed once. If it weren't for the treasure chest system suddenly upgrading and him accidentally changing the treasure chest version in the form of a "spirit" to obtain the mystical medicine, what Zui Xie Xiao is seeing now is just his spiritual form.

However, there is one thing that Li Zheng still can't figure out: where did that so-called "final upgrade module" that suddenly appeared come from?

He was certain that the upgrade module was not something that was originally in the cave, otherwise he would not have been completely unaware of it.

This may remain a mystery forever.

after all……

The owner was right in front of them, but neither of them knew they had this connection.

"I have something to do, so I'll take my leave first." Completely unaware that the item he was looking for was on Li Zheng, Zui Xie Xiao, preoccupied with the whereabouts of that thing, bid farewell to Li Zheng and turned to leave the cave.

"No delivery."

Li Zheng watched Zui Xie Xiao leave, then took out a teleportation disk, guided it to charge, and was sent back to the outer city.

He had just returned to the outer city when, less than five minutes later, another figure entered the cave.

The pair of long, thin horns on his head identified him.

Clone number 1024 sniffed the air in the cave, its face turning grim: "He actually faked his death and escaped!"

After killing the target, clone number 1024 prepared to return to report, but halfway there he suddenly had a whim and followed his intuition to go back and check, only to find that Li Zheng's body was gone.

Following the scent to the cave, the unique scent disappeared, indicating that the other party had used a teleportation disk to return to the outer city.

"Next time we meet, I'll tear you to pieces and see how you fake your death to escape!"

The cold voice of clone number 1024 remained in the cave, gradually fading into silence.
