Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 29 What are you afraid of?

"A family of swordsmen? The city is full of tricks, who takes anyone seriously? If I believe you, I'd be a fool."

Passing through the light curtain, Li Zheng glanced around and walked towards the materials scattered on the floor of the room, putting them one by one into his capsule residence.

"However, this swordsmanship proficiency is indeed impressive." Li Zheng recalled that when the other party used a sword to strike the gun, the detector actually gave a black danger warning, and a look of seriousness appeared in his eyes.

He knew very well that if Zhan Zhouzhou wanted to kill him, it would only take one sword strike!
Although he has developed genetic abilities, he also has trump cards that he hasn't used.

However, Zhan Zhouzhou also had a trump card: a gold-level lightning-type gene ability whose effects were unknown!

If she gets serious, Li Zheng might still be no match for her!

Putting aside whether such a fantastical setting exists on Earth, Zhan Zhouzhou's later statement that he had only won the provincial championship three times is self-contradictory.

"With the speed and power of that one strike, even a world-class fencing champion might not be able to match it. How could he have only won three domestic championships? And those were only won because his family helped him win."

Presumably, what the other party said from beginning to end was only half true and half false. If you listen to everything they say, you would be truly foolish.

Touching his smooth forehead, Li Zheng smiled nonchalantly: "Trading hair for five meat skewers may seem like a loss, but it's actually a huge profit!"

After eating five skewers of grilled meat plus the half skewer that Xiaoying couldn't finish, Li Zheng felt much better. In particular, the bruise on his back was only slightly sore and no longer affected his mobility.

Standing in front of a smooth metal wall, Li Zheng looked at himself in a mirror and said narcissistically, "Although I can't see very clearly, I'm still a handsome young man."

"嘤嘤!"

Sakura poked her head out of his pocket and exclaimed in agreement.

Li Zheng tapped its little head with his finger and said with a smile, "You think so too, right?"

"Hey."

Sakura squinted and nodded, looking very certain.

"Haha, they're gone."

Li Zheng stopped and stood in front of the metal door he had chosen. The detector showed that the room behind the door contained green food. "It's getting late. There are still five rooms to explore. I need to speed things up."

beep.

Swipe.

Uzi~
The door opens.

Li Zheng led Xiao Ying inside.

After two days of exploration, especially after the detector was upgraded, Li Zheng has roughly figured out the room patterns he is encountering at this stage.

First, the rooms in the matrix are divided into three types in front of the gold-level detectors: dangerous, safe, and unknown.

Dangerous rooms are categorized into red and orange-red based on the level of threat.

Li Zheng estimated that the orange-red level meant that as long as he was careful, he could get through it safely.

Red means that you must be extremely careful when dealing with it, otherwise you may easily make a mess of things.

At the same time, dangerous rooms are now divided into two types: environmental and biological.

The former is too uncertain, and Li Zheng would not even consider it. He would not choose either dark red or orange-red.

He could consider the latter after he awakens his genetic abilities, but he is currently injured, so he should avoid it as much as possible.

The safe rooms are currently also in two colors: blue and green.

This represents the amount of resources in the room.

A large quantity will result in blue, while a small quantity will result in green.

It's all about quantity, not quality.

For example, the first two rooms Li Zheng entered on the first day were green. Strictly speaking, if he hadn't accidentally discovered that the damaged machinery could be disassembled, he would have only obtained a blueprint and a Snickers bar in that room.

The second room was blue, and the harvest... was plentiful.

Safe rooms typically display only two options: materials and food. The environment room with the Rock/Ice Giant, which was previously shown as safe in blue, is not considered safe due to its unique characteristics.

The colors of the light curtain film faded from his eyes, and he seemed uninterested in this green food room.

"Tsk, just as I expected..."

In the center of the room was a supply storage tank, and the rest of the room was empty. Li Zheng was already mentally prepared to only get a Snickers bar.

"If it weren't for the blue door on the roof in the previous room, and the fact that all the other rooms were dangerous, I wouldn't have come here..."

With a slight pursed lip, Li Zheng stepped forward and opened the 'refrigerator'.

"Hey~ not bad, there's even a bottle of water."

Putting away a bottle of water and the expected Snickers bar, Li Zheng skillfully pulled out a dented iron ingot.

"Sigh... Back on Earth, I never imagined that one day my path to wealth would be through demolition."

Demolishing and smashing along the way, Li Zheng's gains over the past two days, apart from the Platinum-level Rock Ice Fire, were actually less than the high-quality items obtained by top players like Feng Shan.

However, Li Zheng has not yet worried about low-quality ingredients and food.

Even with relatively scarce water resources, Li Zheng can make them circulate if he sets his mind to it.

Besides... he could trade over 30,000 snake grass needles for food and water at any time, so he really didn't have to worry about food and drink.

"how to say?"

"It's not really about food and drink... I just enjoy the surprise and satisfaction I feel when I find something."

Li Zheng sighed, picked up the iron ingot, and began yet another demolition operation.

However, because the ribs were still broken, the demolition work took a little longer this time.

Twenty minutes later, the supply storage tank let out a mournful cry and collapsed in front of Li Zheng.

"Damn it, I dare not use too much force, otherwise I would have already finished walking through both rooms." Li Zheng cursed, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, and began to break down the problem.

Disassemble the damaged supply storage tank to obtain: Temperature Controller *1, Damaged Power Core Type III *1...

"Oh, what a pleasant surprise."

Li Zheng took out the temperature controller he had just acquired and examined it. It was indeed intact and undamaged, and of very high quality.

Temperature controller
Silver

Description: An instrument for controlling temperature, which can be used to manufacture tools or equipment.

The item description is very simple, so simple that even the detector doesn't provide any further information.

"Although it doesn't have any unknown hidden effects, it's still a silver-grade material, not bad."

Li Zheng nodded in satisfaction; this was one of the few high-quality items he had obtained through normal channels today.

After carefully recalling the details of the demolition, Li Zheng realized that due to his rib injury, the iron ingots were mostly smashed into the upper and middle areas of the material storage tanks.

"Presumably the temperature controller is installed in the lower half of the refrigerator. Next time I encounter a refrigerator, I can try to retrieve the silver-level power core."

Having made his plans, Li Zheng began scanning the metal doors.

Above, blue/safety/material.

Ground, green/safe/material.

"..."

Upon seeing two safe rooms at once, Li Zheng suddenly had a bad feeling.

Looking up at the remaining three metal doors, he grimaced and cursed angrily, "Damn it! What I feared most has come to pass!"

There were three remaining metal doors, all orange-red (representing living beings).
