Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 82 This player is obviously super strong, but he likes to be a sycophant.

[An unclaimed capsule dwelling has been detected. Should we fuse it?]

It wasn't until the matrix system notification popped up that Li Zheng truly believed that the Mickey Mouse guy who had disgusted him for several days was indeed finished.

"But that doesn't make sense..."

Li Zheng extinguished the still-smoking fire, casually placed his hand on the capsule dwelling, and was about to order the fusion.

"and many more."

The next moment, he quickly stopped and took the 'mysterious declaration' out of the capsule and held it in his hand.

Only then did he officially begin the fusion process.

"I almost forgot, this lantern provides a bonus when you merge with the capsule dwelling."

[In the fusion capsule residence...]

The target of this fusion is player number 0000879, William Houston.

This fusion yielded: Nanorobot Exoskeleton (Platinum Grade), USB Flash Drive (No Grade), Power Core Type IV (Gold Grade)

[This fusion triggers the 'Death' trait of the item 'Mysterious Declaration', granting the additional: Memory Releaser - Fighter (Diamond)]

[Fusion complete.]

"puff."

With a muffled thud, the capsule dwelling vanished, and William's body lay on the ground, preserved in its death pose.

It is obvious that this is a corpse.

Guess how he died?

Poisoned to death?
No, he was scared to death by himself!

How did he die of fright?
Think about it, would you believe that a player could quickly and frequently lift up a capsule dwelling weighing several tons?
Before he was poisoned to death, he was so frightened that he trembled and didn't even dare to show his head.

By the way, who is God?
Why was he praying before he died, asking God to save him?

"..."

This……

Li Zheng was speechless.

So this Mickey Mouse guy thinks he's a monster?
How much imagination do you have to draw?
Without a stroke occurring three thousand years ago, one cannot imagine such an effect.

"Tch, with so many layers of sleeping bags, no wonder it didn't make a sound later."

Li Zheng curled his lip, somewhat disdainfully.

Even those who could obtain platinum-level items dared not leave their homes when attacked, ultimately dying in misery from the combined attack of thick smoke and poison gas.

"But these sleeping bags... must have been in contact with him and were assumed to be in the form of equipment, so they were left behind with him."

Li Zheng walked closer and kicked William's corpse with his toe: "These sleeping bags can't be wasted. Take them off and sell them in the trading hall. If all else fails, we can dismantle them later."

Breaking down a sleeping bag can yield some fiber materials, which have a wide range of uses.

The most important point is that even if it is not made into a prop, it can be used as a sleeping mat.

"It's a pity about these sleeping bags. They're covered by this guy. It feels a bit unlucky to use them directly."

Squatting down, Li Zheng placed one hand on the surface of the sleeping bag, revealing a disgusted expression.

The next second, a notification from the matrix system popped up.

[Does the human body undergo decomposition?]

After reading the message, Li Zheng pulled his hand back as if he had been electrocuted.

"It's not the sleeping bag that's being decomposed, but... a corpse?" Li Zheng asked in surprise and doubt. "Player corpses can be decomposed too?"

After decomposition...

What will I get?
Organs such as the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys?

Or human skin and bones?

Li Zheng dared not think about it.

What do humans, who are also gamers, need these things for?
Why is this feature included in the system?
Are you suggesting we can eat these things?

Li Zheng shivered and quickly stopped his wandering thoughts.

Previously, the capsule residences that had been integrated were almost all player identity cards. This was the first time Li Zheng had encountered a situation like William dying inside a capsule residence.

Although the player named Lin Fan left behind a corpse last time, his identity card was automatically displayed, so Li Zheng did not encounter the corpse and therefore did not receive this notification.

Subconsciously, Li Zheng felt that there was something wrong with this setting.

An idea flashed through my mind.

"If players' corpses can be decomposed... wouldn't players also become prey for a certain group?"

Li Zheng was startled by this idea, and a chill ran down his spine to the back of his head.

"Matrix, survival...game?"

Li Zheng murmured to himself. What exactly was this game he had entered?
Are the so-called "players" really referring to humans captured from Earth?
Or……

Are the players just people from Earth?
"Hi~"

Li Zheng was so shocked by this idea that he gasped. Forgetting about disassembling the sleeping bag, he roughly ripped the gas mask off William's face and stuffed it into the capsule dwelling.

"Let's get out of here first."

The room is now filled with toxic fumes and is not suitable for staying overnight.

He called Xiaoying back and saw the little guy puffing out his cheeks, looking like he was holding his breath, after flying back from a distance. Li Zheng took a deep breath and let Xiaoying breathe in the air purifier a few more times.

He himself followed the direction provided by the Eye of Preys and headed towards the last door of the day.

beep.

An electronic voice sounded, and Li Zheng looked at the notification from the Eye of Preys, indicating that there were players in the room.

Clutching the mysterious declaration that had been retrieved, Li Zheng led Xiaoying inside.

"If there are other players in the matrix besides Earthlings..."

Where are they?

……

As the light screen faded, Li Zheng saw the room clearly and realized that there was another familiar face in it.

Capsule accommodation
Player: 0000879 Lu Li

"Oh, isn't this my good son?"

Li Zheng chuckled, put away the mysterious declaration, and walked over.

There lives a guy who doesn't show off his abilities in here.

This player is clearly very strong, but enjoys being a sycophant to the powerful players.

Standing in front of Lu Li's capsule residence, the Eye of Preys provided a notification.

Is Lu Li a master?
Li Zheng certainly knew.

Li Zheng noticed it as soon as the leaderboard opened.

Because this guy's ranking is in the top ten across the entire channel!
"My dear son, open the door! Don't hide inside and stay silent. I know you're home!"

Li Zheng stepped forward and banged on the door, shouting out bizarre lines.

"Damn it, it's Li Zheng!"

Lu Li leaned against the door of the capsule residence, looking nervous.

Besides Li Zheng, Lu Li couldn't think of anyone else who would use the father-son trope with him.

"Damn, I was doing a great job pretending to be a pig, sucking up to the big shots, flattering them, and even getting some benefits every day."

"Now that the rankings are out, not only will we lose all the benefits, but we might also be chased for debts by these guys!"

It has to be said that some people's thought processes are indeed quite abnormal.

For the sake of petty gains, he would abandon all sense of shame in front of others, readily acknowledging his biological father without any dignity whatsoever.

If this person were truly weak, then it would be understandable that they would do this to survive.

But this person turns out to be a hidden master...

This is a bit confusing.

Since his identity was exposed, Lu Li has not dared to show his face on the regional channel, for fear of being ridiculed by Feng Shan and the others.

He had even prepared himself to remain anonymous for the rest of his life, just like he was using the invisible mode on QQ.

To his surprise, Li Zheng came knocking on his door at this time.

"My good son, open the door! How dare you lock your own father out and ignore him? Are you trying to rebel?!"

Li Zheng kept banging on the door, and Preys' Eye had already told him that Lu Li was waiting behind the door.

"I knew you were behind the door, I saw you!"

Lu Li was already feeling guilty, and Li Zheng's words startled him so much that he immediately shouted, "Impossible! My capsule dwelling wasn't damaged, how could you have seen... Holy crap, you're bluffing me!"

"..."

Li Zheng was starting to understand why Lu Li had acted so silly on the regional channel...

It seems like he's not quite as bright as he seems.
