Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 49 "Thanks for your hard work, Mr. Li Zheng" (Thanks to "Huaxia Shuyu" for the 2,000 points reward)

"Blood and Qi take form!"

Lin Fan looked up and met a dark gun barrel. He decisively activated his Gold-level gene ability to prepare for the attack that was about to take place.

"Humph!"

"Ice and Fire Attachment - Fire Element!"

"boom!"

Li Zheng snorted coldly, his Desert Eagle blazing with fury as lava bullets shot out of its barrel.

The other party fired, and Lin Fan instinctively tilted his head to dodge, only to feel a sharp pain in his chest.

Looking down, he saw that the armor, formed from the solidified blood energy, had been blasted open with a huge hole. The flesh and blood inside were a blur, and a heart could be vaguely seen beating between the broken ribs.

"At this distance, why would I shoot you in the head instead of your chest? Do you think I'm one of those brainless villains in TV dramas?"

Li Zheng's attack was effective, he thought to himself, but he didn't say it aloud.

"Any last words?"

Li Zheng released the recoil from the Desert Eagle, pointed at Lin Fan again, and spoke in a cold tone.

"This...how can this be..."

"boom!"

Flames spewed out, and Lin Fan's head exploded like a watermelon.

"Sorry, you have no right to leave your last words."

Lin Fan's body lay limply, the S686 in his hand fell to the side, and the blood aura on his body gradually dissipated, revealing an identity card on the surface of his corpse.

"A gold-level ability, you think you can stop my platinum-level ice and fire infusion? I thought you were someone important, but you're so weak. Good, I'll save you two snake needles."

Li Zheng jumped off the rock, picked up S686 and the ID card, and turned to leave without giving the headless corpse another glance.

Back in his capsule residence, Li Zheng had barely stepped inside when Xiao Ying flew back from a short distance away.

"Well done!"

Li Zhengchong gave it a thumbs up, sparing no praise.

"Ying ying."

Sakura held her head high and accepted the praise.

The little guy had been asleep, but was woken up by Lin Fan's two shots. He got up in annoyance and looked around, but couldn't find Li Zheng.

Fearing that Li Zheng might be in danger again, the little guy went out to search for him.

Then Li Zheng instructed it to use its ability to fly quickly, circling around Lin Fan and monitoring his actions.

He, meanwhile, took advantage of the noise Sakura made while flying to quietly approach her.

Thanks to the enhancement of his body, he can move around without making much noise if he is careful.

Sakura kept interfering, so much so that Li Zheng was right behind Lin Fan without him noticing.

In fact, Li Zheng had been sitting on the rock on Lin Fan's head for some time.

He originally wanted to finish off the opponent quickly and decisively.

But then I thought, wouldn't doing this just benefit Lin Fan?
So, I simply waited quietly, letting the other person experience what it means to have "great ups and downs" before they died.

After comforting Xiaoying and letting her go back to rest, Li Zheng himself felt more energetic because of the battle.

After a moment's pause, he remembered that he hadn't used the loudspeaker yet, so he decided to use it now.

World Channel: 0000879 Li Zheng: "Lin Fan has been executed, everyone please don't worry [identity card information photo]. By the way, [Snake Grass Needle] in exchange for a large quantity of Black Iron and Bronze level blood, bulk discounts available, all comers welcome!"

He has already acquired the regional channel once today, so there isn't much blood left.

This time, he's expanding his business directly into the world channel. While the production station still has enough energy, he wants to stockpile a batch of Black Iron grade 4+ or 5+ potions.

Incidentally, this is also to prepare for future promotion to Bronze.

As for silver-grade materials, it's not that Li Zheng didn't want to collect them, but trading them with snake grass needles wouldn't yield much, making the cost-effectiveness too low and unnecessary.

Clearly, after the matrix entered night, very few players were still exploring; most were either resting and conserving their energy.

Or they're like Fengshan and his group, still "chatting in the chat group".

At that moment, Li Zheng fired off his loudspeaker, and people immediately responded.

Chu Xiao was the first to respond. This player seemed to have some kind of access to megaphones; he had an astonishing number of them, having already used several during the day, and was still able to speak now.

World Channel: 0000001 Chu Xiao: "According to the information, it is indeed Lin Fan who escaped from Channel One. Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Li Zheng."

World Channel: 1155247 William Houston: "Show-off! Your Eastern countries are masters of civil war, and even in the Matrix game, you're still killing each other. Truly a national characteristic. I urge all players worldwide not to trade with these yellow-skinned scum, isolate them!"

William Houston's water purification business was disrupted, and he was just looking for a way to get revenge on Li Zheng. This little loudspeaker gave him the opportunity.

He knew that obtaining the small loudspeaker would be difficult, and Li Zheng could only suffer in silence, unable to speak out in rebuttal.

Even if Li Zheng still has a megaphone, he's not afraid. There are some people on his channel who are with him, so he can just have them make the announcement for him.

Li Zheng was indeed unable to refute William's remarks, which were a mix of dig and smear, angered players from other Eastern countries, and some immediately jumped out to confront him.

This includes players who are on the same channel as Li Zheng and have a good relationship with him.

World Channel: 0000879 Yan Guang: "You white monkey, what nonsense are you spouting? Don't you have any idea what kind of image your Western countries have on the international stage? You wait, the day I get my hands on the space jump device, the first thing I'll do is come and have a chat with you! I'll talk you until your own mother won't recognize you, then I'll change my surname to your great-grandmother's!"

World Channel: 0000879 Zhan Zhouzhou: "Which country doesn't have bad apples? Mr. William, can you guarantee that your country's players don't have someone as heartless and insane as Lin Fan?"

World Channel: 0000879 Fengshan: "There's no point in talking to these white monkeys. My great Eastern nation is worth several of yours. If you've got the guts, let's draw a line and have a go at it sometime!"

World Channel: 1000124 Charles de Gaulle: "We, the people of France, call for world peace."

World Channel: 0000189 Park Bu-goo: "What do you mean 'your country' and 'other countries'? The whole earth belongs to our Korean country, we've applied for a patent!"

World Channel: 0000187 Park Da-ta: "That's right! At most, you're just renting a place on our Korean territory. What are you jumping around for? Our country is preparing to register a patent for the Matrix Survival Game. When that happens, you'll have to pay taxes on everything you explore every day!"

World Channel: 0000023 Kato Junkazu: "See that? This is what you call true 'national characteristics'."

……

The world chat channel was in an uproar, but Li Zheng ignored it all. He was so busy that he couldn't keep up with the constant stream of private messages.

Rather than trading snake needles for water resources, other players would prefer to exchange some seemingly useless blood for a few snake needles that can be used as weapons.

Therefore, this time there were more than ten times more participants than yesterday!
It took Li Zheng two full hours to process all the private messages, ultimately using nearly three thousand snake grass needles to obtain a large amount of black iron-grade blood from various creatures.

Bronze-level blood is much less common, with only a little over a hundred bottles.

It wasn't that there weren't more people willing to trade bronze-level blood, but rather that most people offered too high a price, which Li Zheng rejected.

Interestingly, many of these traders actually came from the same wavelength as William Houston.

Whenever he encountered these players, no matter how low their offer was, Li Zheng would immediately refuse.

Who knows if William, that old silver coin, is all talk and no action, secretly plotting to get something out of me?

……

It took another three hours for Li Zheng to finally analyze all the blood and categorize it according to the maximum amount that could be produced.

Finally, he crafted several bottles of Black Iron Potions with a two-plus upper limit, raising all four of his stats to two pluses.

After working continuously for a long time, the energy of the production station is also nearing depletion.

If Li Zheng wants to produce more in large quantities, he will have to use up the remaining dozen or so Type I Power Cores.

"Energy issues..."

After thinking for a moment, Li Zheng gritted his teeth and added a Type I power core to the crafting table, producing five bottles of Black Iron-grade potions with a maximum limit of 1+, and then posted the potion information in the regional channel.

Li Zheng: "@Fengshan, @Zhanzhouzhou, @Yanguang... We'll exchange potions for power cores, offering inspection before pricing. We also accept orders for these potions; I'll organize and send out the materials later. We'll only accept power cores as payment."

This message was a resounding slap in the face to those players who had been secretly cursing Li Zheng as an idiot during the day.

Everyone assumed that he was casting a wide net to collect attribute blood.

did not expect.

Their level is completely different from theirs!
This wave, huh?
This wave of lees is in the atmosphere; they are in the Earth's core.

……

That same night, in a certain room on a certain channel, a player whose body was also shrouded in blood aura looked at the photo sent in private chat with murderous intent.

In the photo, a bald man holds a Desert Eagle and looks indifferently at the camera.

"Li Zheng?"

Thank you to "御坂13174" for the 100 coins.

Thank you to "snakesnakeghost" for the 1,500 coins!
