Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 61 "I'll make you pay with your life for my eyes!"

"Enough with the small talk, let's get down to business."

Li Zheng didn't want to hear any more about Feng Shan's past of incredible luck, so he changed the subject and pointed to the malicious detection pocket watch, asking, "Was this thing made from a one-time blueprint or a learning blueprint?"

“It’s a learning blueprint, but the materials are hard to find.” Fengshan had already picked up on the implication and said directly, “There’s a silver-grade material called ‘Valok’s Eye,’ and I’ve only gotten one in the last few days, and that was after exchanging a lot of resources in the trading hall.”

"Valok's eyeball?"

Li Zheng remembered the name and asked, "When you bought this, did you ask the seller how they obtained this material?"

"I asked him, and he said he found it in a room where materials were stored during the exploration, just like iron ingots."

Fengshan thought for a moment and then said, "However, we cannot rule out the possibility that he lied to me."

"Lying to you?"

"Ah."

Fengshan explained: "Because the seller's name is William Houston, I heard that he had a grudge against you, and later even people in our country held a grudge against him. There is a high possibility that he lied and misled me when I consulted him about the problem."

And after that, he blocked me, so I couldn't get any answers to his questions.

This is also one of the reasons why Fengshan got involved in criticizing William on the world channel yesterday.

"William?"

Li Zheng frowned. Why is it this person again?
Just because of that small water purifier you sold?

That person is so petty!

Besides, didn't he make a profit by selling the water purifier later?

As for holding a grudge against someone for so long, even to the point of national escalation?
However, the world is so big, with all sorts of people.

Some people are perfectly normal, but their thought processes are more bizarre than those of the mentally ill, making them completely unpredictable.

What is there to say?

Reality is often more fantastical than fiction.

Just like when he was still on Earth, Li Zheng read a book written by an author with the pen name "Moon Falls Red Ying," which was truly indescribable.

He recognized every single word, but when they were put together, all Li Zheng could do after reading it was exclaim: "Is this B poisonous?"
"In this way, the plan to mass-produce malicious detection pocket watches and improve the efficiency of laborers in collecting materials has fallen through."

Li Zheng thought to himself, if every player in the channel had a pocket watch, the efficiency of finding gene potion materials would at least double.

The effect of Li Zheng taking a ride-sharing service will also be greatly improved.

"Pity."

With a sigh, Li Zheng felt he needed to have a serious talk with William, otherwise having this guy pop up every now and then to annoy him was quite annoying.

"Yes, yes, what a pity." Fengshan echoed twice, unaware of what Li Zheng was thinking, only assuming that he was lamenting not being able to get a pocket watch.

"Let's go, let's go, or we won't be able to use up all our exploration opportunities today."

Seeing that it was past noon and there was nothing more to explore, Li Zheng simply said goodbye to Feng Shan, packed up his capsule residence, and prepared to leave.

Before leaving, he took out a long cylindrical object from his residence and handed it to Fengshan, saying, "I just heard you say that using explosive power can injure the bones in your limbs. I happen to have a bone-setting splint here, with two uses left. Consider it a deposit for this transaction."

After all, I accepted a silver-grade lightsaber from them, didn't I?

We can't be completely without sincerity.

Moreover, based on his previous experience with Xiao Siyuan, Li Zheng felt that it would be good to form a positive relationship with a player who shares his temperament.

"Oh? This... thank you."

Feng Shan was caught off guard by Li Zheng's sudden generosity. He, who was usually so arrogant and domineering in battle, suddenly became a little shy.

There's some material behind this door.

There's nothing behind this door, don't waste your energy, just go to the other side.

Li Zheng circled around the grassland, exploring all the gates except the one Fengshan had used to come from.

In Fengshan's eyes, this behavior meant that Li Zheng was unsure of where to go and was hesitating.

He thought this was normal. Before he got the malicious detection pocket watch, he was the same way. Every time he chose a door, he would struggle with the decision and it would take him a long time to make up his mind.

When you lack the ability, you're afraid of choosing a dangerous room.

Once they have the resources, they worry that the rooms they didn't choose have more resources than the rooms they did choose.

In short, it highlights a mentality of "being anxious about gains and losses".

Without hesitation, Li turned around, swiped his card at the entrance of the materials room, and walked in without looking back.

As for Fengshan?

Isn't there still an empty room door left for him?

"Let's see how lucky you are this time!"

As Li Zheng entered, he had a wicked thought.

...The light screen faded, and the room still had a metallic feel, with materials scattered all over the floor. Li Zheng went over and picked them up one by one, putting them into his capsule residence.

Just as I finished taking everything and was about to leave, the Eye of Preys suddenly flashed a notification:

There are still supplies in this room. Are you sure you want to leave now?

"Any more supplies?"

Li Zheng turned around to check, and the ground was clean, without even a single iron ingot left. Where were the supplies?
[On the wall.]

The prompt continued to flash. Following the instructions, Li Zheng scanned the metal walls embedded with machines and finally walked to an unidentified machine with an indicator light on.

[Something was hidden inside this machine, a clever little trick, but it still couldn't escape the eyes of Old Pu, the detective!]

"Oh?"

Li Zheng smirked, a familiar-feeling iron ingot slipped into his hand, and he eagerly said, "Let's smash it and see!"

Be careful, it's very fragile.

"Fragile?" Li Zheng's eyes lit up. "Could it be the power core?"

Since he was warned to be careful, Li Zheng held the iron ingot and gestured in front of the machine, while the Eye of Preys kept giving him information.

Smashing things from here could damage what's inside.

"Okay, let's smash it somewhere else then."

The iron ingot moves a short distance.

[Hitting it from here is just the right angle to avoid it. Don't be gentle with this delicate flower, hit it hard!]

"Boom!"

The iron ingot was decisively smashed down, and the machine broke in response. The iron ingot pierced through the metal casing and was embedded halfway inside.

With all four attributes reaching the bronze level threshold, Li Zheng's strength was incomparable to what it used to be.

Remember when Li Zheng first entered the Matrix Survival game, he spent a lot of time trying to smash one of the machines on the wall to test whether it could be disassembled?

Now, he can smash through the metal casing with just one strike, which even Li Zheng himself finds a little hard to accept.

In the blink of an eye, I realized how strong I had become.

He silently pulled out the iron ingot and lifted it up again.

"Ying ying."

Seeing Li Zheng start working again, Xiao Ying flapped her wings and flew to the side to cheer him on.

"Boom!"

It's another square perforation.

"Ying ying."

Cheer me on, clench your little fists.

Soon, with Sakura's support, Li Zheng successfully retrieved the hidden object from behind the machine.

It wasn't the expected power core, but rather a round, flat prop.

Upon holding it in his hand, Li Zheng exclaimed in surprise, "Dragon Ball Radar?!"

So you shouldn't watch so many anime, always talking about Anywhere Door, Doraemon, and Dragon Ball Radar.

Section D, Steamed Goose Hearts with Anime Flavor.

"..."

Li Zheng was silent for three seconds, then held up two fingers to his eyes and warned, "You better not cause me any trouble, or I'll make you pay with your life for my eyes!"

Have you forgotten that the detection belt, led by Master Pu, is actually just a piece of equipment?

"I haven't forgotten. I just felt insulted after you touched my eyeballs, so I had to gouge them out myself to prove my innocence!"

[Sobbing.]

"What the hell are you doing?!"

Li Zheng cursed and ignored the Preles' Eye, which was deliberately trying to be cute, and started checking the item attributes of the Dragon Ball Radar.

Dragon Ball Radar Map, Special Item, No Rank
The radar, which recorded partial room distribution information within the matrix, became ineffective and disappeared after three explorations.

Note: Don't try to break it down, you'll only get a cloud of air!
By the way, who is Android 18's wife? Why are there so many doujinshi featuring her, but none of them feature her as her husband?

Li Zheng: "..."

5555 Life is so hard, I've racked my brains trying to figure out what to do in Chapter Twenty-Eight...

I was hoping to copy and borrow some of Zhang's ideas, but it turns out they're all laughing at me.

This is too much to bear!
