Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 87 Finally, we'll have a bed!

"..."

Li Zheng clicked on the other person's profile picture, and a man who looked at least thirty-five years old appeared before him.

He was furious on the spot. Did this guy think he was a nobody?

He cursed directly: "Give it to your mother!"

To his surprise, the other party replied, "I can't give it to my mom. She's over fifty and hasn't entered the Matrix. Why don't you just give it to me and I'll bring it to her when I leave the Matrix at fifty?"

That's incredibly shameless.

This kind of person is like cotton; scolding him is useless unless you can find him and beat him up. Otherwise, don't expect him to behave.

"Damn..."

Li Zheng rolled his eyes and decided to ignore him.

After looking at the other private messages for a while, I found that they were mostly about bargaining, and the offers were extremely low, cutting Li Zheng's offer in half.

This means that if Li Zheng agrees, at most I'll just have to recycle the materials, and I'll also have to pay him a gold-grade blueprint!
The most outrageous thing is that someone actually offered an even lower price. I don't know if the other party was "too shrewd" or if they were just trying to rip Li off.

Li Zheng tried entering keywords to filter, trying several different keywords before finally settling on one player.

However, apart from offering two gold-grade power cores, the other party was only willing to provide half of the other materials.

In other words, if Li Zheng agrees to the deal, it would be equivalent to exchanging a gold-grade blueprint for a gold-grade power core.

And this was the highest bid Li Zheng had seen so far…

"If all else fails, should we just sell it to him?"

Li Zheng glanced at the time; it was almost noon. If he didn't set off to explore soon, he might not be able to use up all ten chances before nightfall.

While Li Zheng was hesitating, the player who had been selected sent him another private message urging him to hurry up:
"If you're not satisfied with the price, I'll add a [Titanium Alloy Gun] to your trade, how about that?"

The titanium alloy gun, a silver-grade melee spear, is less useful than a machete or a one-handed sword for the average player.

Although there is a saying that "an inch longer is an inch stronger", no matter how strong it is, it cannot ignore the fact that long weapons are not as flexible as swords and knives.

Would an ordinary person who has barely practiced marksmanship dare to casually use this weapon to fight against the creatures in the Matrix?
Is it because they want to die sooner?
one more……

Can your cold weapons be as useful as firearms?

Most players prefer to choose ranged firearms, even if they are of a lower level, because at least they are relatively safer.

"Hmm? This guy seems to have a strong desire to buy?"

Li Zheng sensed from the other party's words that they could still fleece another batch of people.

After thinking for a moment, a familiar smile curved his lips, and he began to edit the message:
"These kinds of melee weapons are usually blueprints for learning purposes, right? You think you can exchange a finished silver-grade melee spear for a gold-grade firearm with just a few materials? Don't you have enough peaches to eat?"

He carefully considered this message before sending it.

First of all, Li Zheng did not reject the other party's price increase throughout the entire article; he only expressed his dissatisfaction with the price.

Secondly, he secretly belittled a gold-grade power core as "that little bit of material," making it seem as if he didn't care about one or two power cores at all.

After the message was sent, there was a two-minute silence on the other end.

This made Li Zheng feel somewhat uneasy.

To be honest, of all the materials, the one he values ​​most is the power core, because it's a rare item for him.

Others might worry about having materials but no blueprints, but he worries about having blueprints but no materials!

What's more, he also has the Gene Potion Production Station, a major consumer of life cores!

Even with hundreds of workers providing the job, Li Zheng always felt it wasn't enough.

Hmm... even though his Black Iron-level dynamic cores have now broken through three digits again, he still feels it's not enough...

"I'll wait two more minutes. If he doesn't reply, I'll wait until tonight and have someone else send a message to the world chat channel before I try again."

After casually adding the player who had treated him like a nobody to his blacklist, Li Zheng prepared to pack up and begin his exploration for the day.

After calling Sakura back, Li Zheng put away the capsule residence and waited patiently.

With two minutes already up, Li Zheng felt the transaction was hopeless and was about to activate the private chat restriction when the player named "Tang Qianzang" sent another message.

"Add another [ergonomic mattress manufacturing diagram]. If it works, we'll make the deal; if not, forget it!"

Ergonomic mattress fabrication diagram, Silver grade, disposable furniture blueprint.

Description: Can be made into an ergonomic mattress.

An additional 50 iron ingots can be used to craft a bed.

所需材料：仿生组织*50、纤维*60、高级零部件*20、钛空合金200g、铁锭*20\70】

"Furniture blueprints?"

Li Zheng thought for less than a second before replying: "Okay, name yours!"

He's been sleeping on that mushy piece of fiber material for the past few days, and it's been incredibly uncomfortable.

If his physical abilities hadn't been upgraded to Bronze++ quality, he would have given up long ago.

Now that's great, we've got a mattress blueprint, so we don't have to sleep on the floor anymore.

Shortly after Tang Qianzang finished his task, Li Zheng received a new notification for a designated transaction.

After collecting it, the flywheel hand cannon disappeared, and the various types of ammunition on the crafting page also disappeared.

"Oh? If you voluntarily relinquish the weapons, will you also lose the method of manufacturing the ammunition?"

Li Zheng recalled that he had once studied a blueprint for a bronze-level AK-47, which at the time directly indicated the information on the matching bullets.

However, he has never crafted that weapon, yet the crafting page still shows the option to craft bullets.

"This must be another difference between one-time-use drawings and learnable drawings."

Li Zheng didn't care. Anyway, the guns had already been sold. Wasn't it reasonable to provide the ammunition manufacturing project and the weapons matching project to others?
"If we trade weapons made from learnable blueprints, the other party might have the same crafting option for the corresponding ammunition as me."

Li Zheng guessed, "When the other party also abandons this weapon one day, the crafting project will also disappear accordingly."

"Abandoning" could mean selling the weapon or rendering it unusable without any possibility of repair.

The transaction was completed, and Li Zheng had the goods. He now possessed two gold-grade dynamic cores, enough for him to build a toilet and a composting workshop.

"There's no rush to modify the capsule dwellings. Let's focus on today's exploration first."

It was exactly noon. With Xiaoying perched on his shoulder, Li Zheng carried the enticingly fragrant weapon Ham in his left hand, a bronze-level Desert Eagle in his right, and his identity card in his pocket. He embarked on a new day of exploration.

There was a bronze-level creature behind that door... Oh, it's gone now. Going in now will only get you some composting materials.

Behind this door are some materials and equipment; I suggest you take a look at the others.

This door has already been opened; corneas can be donated if not needed!

Even though you came with a lantern, and the room behind this door is no longer the one you came from, you still can't pass through here! Look around.

[The temperature behind this door reaches a whopping 78°C. There's a special fire-attribute crop in the corner that might interest you. Remember to protect your pet once you're inside.]

Behind this door lies a group of Iron-level creatures. I think you're already indifferent to such petty gains, aren't you?

I need some votes... I haven't received a double-digit number of monthly votes for several days.
