Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 19 Environment/Room? Habitual Thinking
Pig stomach... Pshaw, the glands of the spider are huge, about ten times the size of Sakura's. If you want to finish it, you'll have to divide it into ten meals at the very least.

"Why can't you grow up faster, you little rascal?"

Li Zheng patted Xiaoying, who was also looking at the refrigerator, and teased her.

"嘤嘤!"

Sakura waved her little paws and protested loudly.

I was only born a short time ago, how could I have grown up so quickly?
"Alright, alright, I'll keep this for you for now. You can eat this for the next few days. It would be best if you could awaken a powerful ability."

"Hey!"

Sakura nodded her little head, her black gem-like eyes revealing a resolute gaze.

Sakura will definitely awaken a powerful ability!
Li Zheng put everything away, and an iron ingot appeared in his hand. He patted Xiaoying and said, "Go to the side first, so you don't get hurt later."

Sakura had already witnessed Li Zheng's demolition office skills yesterday, so she was very familiar with what was going to happen next. She obediently flew out and hovered in mid-air.

"Hey!"

Sakura raised her little fist to cheer Li Zheng on.

Li Zheng thought that if he had the materials in the future, he could make two glow sticks for Sakura, so that the atmosphere would be even better when cheering her on.

"here we go."

The coat was damaged yesterday, and Li Zheng threw it away at the time. Now that he no longer has the "meteor hammer," it doesn't matter much.

After many demolitions and smashings, he had gained some experience and knew how to smash things so that the recoil from the iron ingots would not easily injure him.

Soon after, a series of banging sounds rang out as the supply storage tanks became twisted and deformed under Li Zheng's violent smashing.

five minutes later.

Damaged supply storage containers are biodegradable.

[A damaged supply storage container, its key parts damaged due to haphazard and violent dismantling. Disassembling it yields 5 iron ingots, 5 copper ingots, 3 spare parts, a damaged Type III power core, and 100g of B25 grade manganese steel.]

The first prompt still comes from the matrix system.

The second piece of information from the detector was still detailed, even providing the materials and items that could be obtained after disassembly.

"???"

Li Zheng looked at it several times to make sure he hadn't misread the words displayed on the detector.

"break down!"

Disassemble the damaged supply storage container to obtain...

The information provided by the matrix system this time was exactly the same as that provided by the detector.

Li Zheng was helpless. He thought he should have some experience after dismantling several refrigerators.

In the end, there was actually less material available.

In particular, the temperature controller was not removed this time.

"Speaking of which, the two machines that were smashed yesterday provided much less basic material."

Li Zheng thought back carefully, but he hadn't noticed this because he was rushing to explore all the shares before midnight.

"It seems that even brute force dismantling has its techniques."

Li Zheng searched the room to make sure nothing was left behind, and finally stood in front of the only blue security door.

"Perhaps by destroying a few key points of these devices, we can maximize the extraction of the decomposed materials? How exactly were those machines that were dismantled yesterday smashed?"

Li Zheng racked his brains, but in the end, he couldn't recall many details.

"Never mind, if there are more refrigerators later, just be more careful when disassembling them."

Li Zheng was no longer troubled and swiped his card at the door.

beep.

The metal door opened, and Li Zheng let Xiaoying crawl into the pocket. He looked up and frowned slightly.

The detector indicates a safe (blue) environment.

"No ingredients, no food, no danger, just a safe environment in a room?"

This was the first time Li Zheng had ever encountered this type of room.

"Go in and have a look."

Although the detector did not show any supplies behind the door, Li Zheng was still somewhat interested in this safe environment.

Stepping inside, I was immediately engulfed by the light curtain.

As the colors faded, a biting cold wind swept over us.

"嘤嘤!"

Sakura cried out and shrank into Li Zheng's pocket, trying to escape the cold.

"Haqiu!"

Wearing only a thin shirt, Li Zheng couldn't help but sneeze, then hugged his arms and rubbed them a couple of times.

"This temperature is probably close to zero degrees Celsius, right?"

Looking up, the room seemed to stretch endlessly, filled with small icebergs, each over ten feet tall.

The matrix system did not provide information about the iceberg, but the detector did react.

Rock and Ice Giants are gregarious, large in number, and involuntarily emit a chilling aura.

It enters an unconscious state during the day and reverts to its biological attributes after nightfall.

"Not icebergs, but rock and ice giants?! A huge race?"

Li Zheng's lips twitched. He could tell at a glance, without even counting, that there were at least two hundred rock ice giants here.

"You call this a large group? This is ridiculously large!" A single rock ice giant is over thirty meters tall, and with more than two hundred of them placed together, the scene is truly magnificent from a distance.

"Check for weaknesses."

Li Zheng opened the map guide's scan function and pointed it at the nearest small hill.

beep.

The encyclopedia begins searching for information.

Five seconds later.

The encyclopedia entry shows: No target information.

"It seems to be a creature not included in Volume 7 of the encyclopedia."

Unable to obtain further information, Li Zheng had no choice but to give up.

Then he discovered another problem.

"Strange, the detector didn't give the level of the Ice Giant? Is it because it's exceeded the detection limit, or is the giant sleeping?"

Li Zheng had no idea, but judging from the fact that each of the rock ice giants was over thirty meters tall.

Their strength is definitely beyond what he can afford to provoke at present.

"Sigh~"

Li Zheng shivered, shrank his neck, hugged his arms, and crouched down to walk to the side.

The rock ice giant itself exudes cold air; it's already this cold even before you get close. If you were to walk into the middle of the giant horde, how low would the temperature be?
After walking along the edge for twenty minutes, Li Zheng finally found the first door in the room.

In stark contrast to the giants' height, the metal doors, as always, remained at a height of about two meters, regardless of the size of the room.

"What bad luck! It's a red-listed dangerous room!"

Li Zheng cursed under his breath and left to continue on his way.

Forty minutes later, Li Zheng looked at the third door he had found and cursed, "Damn it, another red danger door!"

嘘嘚嘚嘚……

Li Zheng had spent a full hour in an environment close to zero degrees Celsius, and his core temperature was slowly decreasing over time.

At this moment, his whole body was trembling uncontrollably.

The upper and lower teeth kept clashing together, making a knocking sound.

"The detector is clearly giving a blue safety warning, but if things continue like this, I'm going to freeze to death here sooner or later!"

Li Zheng had no time to continue exploring.

Logically speaking, such a low-temperature room should at least be a dangerous, orange-red room for him.

Why is the detector's warning light blue?
"Could it be that, just like when I got the Desert Eagle, the room difficulty decreased, and I actually have something on me that can resist it..."

"..."

"I'm a fucking idiot!"

Something flashed through Li Zheng's mind, and he raised his hand and slapped himself. He didn't even bother to wipe his snot, and hurriedly pulled things out of the capsule.

Fiber (Gray) Material

It can be used to make specific props and also has a certain warming effect.

The item information has been updated.

Actually, the detector had already given him a notification when he was wiping Sakura's bottom, but he was so focused on the treasure chest that he subconsciously ignored it.

After all, who would constantly pay attention to the item information of a gray-quality item?
With his not-so-nimble fingers, he pulled Sakura out of his pocket, wrapped her in a wad of fiber, and then stuffed the fiber and Sakura together into his shirt.

"Ying ying."

Although Li Zheng had been protecting Xiao Ying with his arm the whole time, he was also exhausted and listless from the cold after an hour.

Being completely encased in fibers makes it much warmer, but it also makes it less breathable.

The little guy tore a small hole in the fiber, stuck out his nose to breathe, and weakly protested with two cries.

"Sweetie, just bear with it for a bit."

While comforting Xiaoying, Li Zheng kept stuffing fibers into her clothes.

As clumps of fibers were stuffed into his clothes, Li Zheng's whole body became somewhat bulky.

"Luckily, I've always had the habit of buying clothes a size larger, otherwise I might not be able to fit so much fiber in them now."

Li Zheng was extremely fortunate.

Because I used to be overweight, I always bought plus-size clothes.

Although I lost a lot of weight later, I kept the same size clothes I used to buy, just in case I couldn't control my eating and gained it all back.

Well, this is great, plus-size clothes really come in handy.

Stuff the shirt with fibers, then button up the sleeves, and finally tuck in the hem.

A simple version of a "down jacket" was thus completed.

"Stuff a little bit inside your pants too, but just a thin layer is enough, otherwise it will affect your movement."

Li Zheng took out the shoes he had changed out of earlier from the capsule residence and pulled out the shoelaces to tie his trouser legs.

Now, with the support of the fibers, body temperature began to slowly rise.

As his body temperature returned to normal, Li Zheng suddenly thought of a question.

"It seems like it happened after Fengshan called me an idiot..."

"Am I really starting to become an idiot?"

Fuck! (a plant)
