Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 58 Fengshan
【Children, do you have a lot of question marks? 】

Li Zheng was completely mesmerized by the information provided by the Eye of Preys.

"I'm a little confused, but what's with your tone? Weren't you pretending to be dead the whole time you were facing Luo Aimang?" Li Zheng stood behind the children's clothing mannequin, in front of an open metal door. "Now that we've left that room, you're jumping up and down??"

Li Zheng was furious: "Xiao Ying is still a child. It's one thing for her to play dead to survive when she encounters a powerful enemy, but you're just a piece of equipment, and you're so scared that you don't dare to move?"

"Yingying?"

Rejuvenated, Xiaoying, standing on Li Zheng's shoulder, looked puzzled when she heard her name called.

How come I have something to do with this?

Who is the master talking to?

"I didn't mean to blame you, it's just that some shameless guy was too infuriating, so I had to give him a piece of my mind."

Li Zheng comforted Xiao Ying, then casually took out some spider glands, heated them up, and gave them to her as a snack.
Although the Eye of Preys had given a warning beforehand, saying that it couldn't help.

But Li Zheng never expected that it wouldn't be of any help at all.

It turned out to be an "offline" operation, so it was running in the background the whole time!
If it had given me a warning, I wouldn't have fired that shot! I wasted a trade opportunity and lost at least twenty bronze-level potions!

"Do you know what twenty bottles of bronze potions mean? Rounded up, that's a hundred million!"

Although you ultimately made the decision to enter that room, you not only didn't explain yourself after you came out, but you even mocked me?
"You've caused me so much loss, and you still have the nerve to give me a sarcastic reminder at this time?"

Pooh!
Shame!

[...The opponent's level is too high; information cannot be detected.]

"No information detected? Then explain why I'm back here again. Didn't the Matrix Game System say that players can't go back?"

The phrase "cannot return the way they came" means that players cannot go back through the entrance they used to enter the room.

It's obvious that the octopus monster opened another door for you to get here.

Just a heads-up, going through this door will also consume one exploration opportunity.

"See, if you had just been honest earlier and done your job properly, wouldn't that have been enough?"

Li Zheng pursed his lips and looked at the door he had already passed through once.

You have already passed through once and cannot enter again.

"As expected."

Li Zheng didn't care that he couldn't get three more trading opportunities. He had made a lot of money from this trade with Luo Aimang, which allowed him to push all his attributes to the limit of Black Iron 5+ and reach the threshold of Bronze.

After leaving the children's clothing store, Li Zheng headed towards the metal door where the silver-level creature had been detected earlier.

The bar and restroom are accessible through a metal door.

[There is a silver-level creature behind the door, posing a significant threat. Other players have entered this area while you were conducting your black market transaction.]

"Did someone get there first?"

Li Zheng thought for a moment and concluded that there shouldn't be many players capable of fighting against silver-level creatures at this stage.

Even with his platinum-level genetic abilities, the silver-level creatures still rated his threat level as relatively high.

It's easy to imagine that other players would find it even more difficult.

It could even be life-threatening.

"Almost everyone in the regional channel is my employee. The longer they live, the more blood-related materials I can get. So if I don't encounter them, that's fine. But if I do, I'll go in and take a look. If I can help them out, I will."

Once he made up his mind, without having time to make a potion to boost his attributes, Li Zheng swiped his card and entered through the door.

"Tom!"

"boom!"

"Hahahaha... That's awesome!"

As soon as Li Zheng entered the room, before he could even see the scene clearly, he heard arrogant laughter.

Looking intently in the direction of the sound, one could see a giant blue wolf, as tall as a two-story building, suddenly flying backwards on the flat grassland, crashing to the ground and shaking up a patch of broken grass.

"Foolish dog, rise and face your destiny!"

A lean young man with a buzz cut stood where the giant wolf had been, beckoned it with a finger, and spoke in an unusually arrogant tone.

Both were exactly within the range that the Eye of Preys could detect, and the information was quickly displayed.

[Giant Wolf of the Wasteland, Silver Rank]

Genetically modified wolves are large in size, known for their strength, and their sharp claws can easily pierce ordinary metal.

On the other side, the player was an old acquaintance of Li Zheng.

Name: Fengshan
Race: human

Sex: Male
Height: 178
Weight: 65KG
Status: Healthy/Full of energy
Cell Viability: Black Iron

Bone Strength: Iron+
Muscle strength: Iron+
Nerve response: Black iron

Equipment: Manganese steel gauntlets (Bronze grade), brand new ion lightsaber (Silver grade)

Abilities: Agility, physical strength, explosive power (Silver Rank Lv8)

Genetic Force: 45/60
Modification: None

[Today's remaining exploration attempts: 4] "Hey, isn't this Little Phoenix?"

Li Zheng was delighted. Of all the orders he had just accepted, Feng Shan alone provided three sets of materials to make three bottles of bone strength potion, which would upgrade his bone strength attribute to Black Iron 1+ level.

"Speaking of which, this guy's speed in acquiring materials is a bit abnormally fast..."

Li Zheng looked at Feng Shan with amusement. Most of the other people only brought out one set of materials. Even Zhan Zhouzhou, who had already shown some prowess on the first day of the game, only brought out two sets of materials today.

Fengshan must have some unknown secrets to be able to lead others by so much.

Li Zheng didn't care. Just as he was able to obtain a rare item like "Rock Ice Like Fire," it was not surprising that others had some extraordinary encounters.

Moreover, in his mind, Fengshan was already synonymous with "the luckiest person," so he wouldn't be surprised if the other party could obtain something even rarer.

"Let's see and then talk."

Since Fengshan was able to repel a Silver-level Wasteland Giant Wolf with a single punch, Li Zheng didn't need to worry about his safety. However, Li Zheng felt a little sorry for the wasted exploration opportunity.

So he sat cross-legged on the ground, took out food from his residence, heated it up, and started lunch with Sakura.

On the other side, Fengshan also spotted Li Zheng entering the room, but he didn't have any detectors or similar tools and couldn't see Li Zheng's face clearly, only able to tell that he was a male player.

"Why did someone suddenly come in?"

Feng Shan thought to himself, "I hope he'll be smart enough not to try and steal the monster, otherwise... well, there's no blood energy around him, which means he hasn't killed anyone. In that case, I can just give him a beating to teach him a lesson."

"but……"

"Why does this guy look so familiar?"

"I feel very uncomfortable whenever I see him."

"He didn't even try to steal the monster, so why do I have such a strong urge to beat him up to vent my anger?"

strange!
"Awoo, roar!"

The giant wolf of the wasteland rose again, let out a furious roar, and charged towards Phoenix Mountain.

Its massive body represents terrifying weight; when it runs, the ground trembles and grass blades fly everywhere.

"Let's deal with this stupid dog first."

Fengshan suppressed all his thoughts and focused on dealing with the charging giant wolf of the wasteland.

"Explosion - Triple Boost!"

With his genetic abilities enhanced, Feng Shan stomped his foot and charged towards the giant wolf of the wasteland.

Behind him, the grass blades that had been broken by the kick burst into the air and exploded into a ball.

"Whoosh!"

The giant wolf of the wasteland slashed at Fengshan with its claws, the sharp, massive claws creating an invisible gust of wind in the air, exuding a menacing aura.

"Humph."

"Burst - Fivefold Amplification!"

Feng Shan's eyes were filled with a wild and untamed light as he darted to the side at an even faster speed, dodging the giant wolf's claws.

"Burst - Sevenfold Amplification!"

"Tom!"

Fengshan suddenly disappeared from the spot.

next moment.

"boom!"

"Ouch~~"

The giant wolf of the wasteland let out a miserable howl, abruptly halting its forward momentum and flying away.

His massive jaw was tilted to one side, apparently knocked askew.

"boom!"

The giant wolf landed again.

"Ok?"

Feng Shan's figure appeared, his expression shifted, and he looked at his right hand. From the protruding bones on the back of his hand, it could be seen that his hand bones had undergone slight deformation and displacement.

"It's still not enough. Even if we get the potion from that guy surnamed Li and raise our bone strength to the so-called Black Iron 1+ limit, it still can't withstand the full boost."

However, it is much stronger than before the enhancement.

"Yesterday during the day, I could only unleash five levels of amplification at full power before my body would suffer damage."

Today I've already been able to unleash seven levels of amplification; presumably, once I reach the Black Iron 2+ limit, I'll be able to achieve the current maximum of eight levels of amplification.

With his other hand, he pressed down on the dislocated bone, forcefully pressing and kneading it to reposition it. Feng Shan looked at the silver giant wolf with a pained yet arrogant expression.

"Little dog, are you ready to face your death?" Fengshan, his face contorted with rage, slowly approached the giant wolf.

He didn't even bother wearing boxing gloves for a mere silver-level creature.
