Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day

"Damn, I used to think it was exaggerated in movies when a shot sent people flying backward. Now that I think about it, it's so damn real."

Next, there wasn't much to say. Holding his shield, Li Zheng walked out of the residence's door and became the master of the battlefield.

In terms of combat power, Li Zheng completely dominated the two white skin pigs. In just two minutes, there were two more shattered corpses outside the residence.

"Talk about being skill-less!"

Li Zheng repeated the phrase, looking at the shield in his hand, which was now riddled with holes and completely broken.

"What a pity for this shield. I could've salvaged some materials from it, but now that's impossible." He casually tossed the shield aside and checked himself over.

His clothes had two holes, bleeding slightly.

This happened after the shield broke, two bullets pierced through it and hit him.

The injuries weren't severe. The shield's buffering slowed the bullets down enough that they only pierced his skin before getting lodged in his muscles.

After extracting the bullets, the previously clogged wounds started bleeding more profusely, looking a bit daunting.

Running his fingers through the holes in his clothes, Li Zheng felt distressed, "I only have two sets of Silver Level clothes, and they ruined one jacket. Isn't that just irritating?

You guys only lost your lives, but I lost a piece of clothing!"

Cursing under his breath, Li Zheng didn't bother with his bleeding wounds and began collecting the spoils of battle.

There was only one set of combat suit and tactical goggles. The other two sets were sliced to shreds by Li Zheng during the fight and were irreparably damaged.

Two firearms, two military daggers, a vacuum cleaner, and a smoke generator.

One of the military daggers was also cut in two by Li Zheng, rendering it useless.

"The Zhan Family swordsmanship is truly formidable. As long as you use the muscle groups properly, the attack power increases ridiculously!"

The military dagger could have been spared, but Li Zheng wanted to test the swordsmanship he just learned and ended up cracking it.

Then he wondered how many tries it would take to break it completely.

The result of the experiment... three tries.

Beyond that, there were two Gold Level portable rocket-assisted grenade launchers, commonly known as RPGs.

If those two white skins hadn't pulled out these massive weapons, Li Zheng could have cut the fight to less than thirty seconds.

With Old Pu around, however fierce these things were, they couldn't hit Li Zheng, who managed to dodge them successfully.

Hmm, this also caused unintended damage to the room he's now in.

"I was wondering why you didn't use these to bomb the residence from the start. Oh, a single grenade requires a Gold Level Active Core, that explains it.

Now I understand the absurd power, even Old Pu warned me to avoid it."

After picking up three Identity Cards, how much Li Zheng gained from this attack remains to be seen, but the assassins certainly suffered a huge loss.

He then gathered the three corpses in one place, flicking out a flame with his fingers, started cremation.

"Daring to assassinate me, I'll scatter your ashes!" Without lingering, Li Zheng briskly walked back to his residence.

This time, he didn't hurry to close the door; instead, he just sat in the doorway, arms wide open.

Checking his wound, the scabs had turned black, and they would heal once they fell off.

Sitting in the door was Li Zheng's way of waiting to see if there would be any more assassination attempts.

With nothing else to do, he sorted the spoils of battle.

"These money-burning tubes have to go. The cost for a single grenade almost matches a whole Cultivation Dish. I'm not a Wang; I can't afford it."

Listed them in Ye Yuanjian's group to sell to whoever's interested.

"The military daggers and firearms, I'll ask Old Xiao and Li Chun if they want them tomorrow."

"The combat suit… feels uncomfortable, also listing it in the group, along with the tactical goggles."

With Old Pu around, who needs tactical goggles? It only has infrared imaging function, hardly used, and wearing it is bothersome.

"Seems like I've gained quite a bit. I'm not asking for much, just three more attacks like this would be enough!"

Feeling pleased, Li Zheng opened the regional channel for a look, remaining participants: 996.

"Four less?"

Noticing the change, Li Zheng frowned slightly: "I killed three here; who else died? Another innocent player in the channel?"

Li Zheng felt he could be indirectly at fault if that was the case.

He was fine with killing red players and challenging others, but if innocent people died because of it, he felt responsible.

"Seems necessary to get a teleportation tool to directly attack their stronghold."

Maybe only this way could he prevent innocent players from dying because of him.

But although there were many Space Jumping Devices, Li Zheng hadn't obtained any yet.

Even if he wanted to trade, no one would sell.

Such tools are considered strategic resources, and ordinary players who obtain them would keep them as an escape method.

Major organizations would certainly manage them collectively.

These were also things Gamen told Li Zheng.

So, for regular players to get Space Jumping Devices, aside from relying on luck to explore, there's almost no other way.

"…Damn it, with my face, maybe I'll never find a room with a Space Jumping Device?" Li Zheng touched his face, feeling dismayed.

"This can't be rushed, better tap some luck off that Feng guy tomorrow."

Putting the matter aside, Li Zheng started flipping through the system notifications.

With the last untimely attack, he hadn't even seen what had come out of the Treasure Chest.

Soon, he found those notifications.

[Acquired: Advanced Pharmacy Table Blueprint+1]

[Acquired: Advanced Human Modification Table Blueprint+1]

[Acquired: Vibranium 1000g]

[Acquired: Ancient Technology Legs+1]

[Acquired: Ancient Technology Kidney+1]

[Acquired: Extraordinary Gene Chart Fragment+1]

[Acquired: Power Core Type IV+5]

[Acquired: Advanced Module+100]

"One, two, three... Holy crap! Six Diamond Treasure Chests, impressive!" Li Zheng looked over the attributes of all the items, thoroughly stunned.

As expected, both blueprints were Diamond Level items, materials he didn't even bother to check.

Why look?

He already knew he didn't have enough materials, checking would just upset him.

What really caught his interest were the two bionic parts and the Extraordinary Gene Chart Fragment.

"Ancient technology, could this stuff be related to the Ancient Ruins?" Li Zheng's heart stirred as he thought of the first instance he entered.

Judging by the technology level revealed on the "first floor" of the Ancient Ruins, it's very likely to have certain advanced bionic organ technology.

"Could the next time I enter the Ancient Ruins, I encounter monsters with such modified limbs?"

Li Zheng was unsure and could only speculate wildly.

Ancient technology organs are different from ordinary modified mechanical limbs.

Ordinary limbs can be leveled up by consuming materials, but ancient technology limbs cannot be upgraded.

However, the performance of ancient technology limbs is also much stronger than ordinary Diamond Level limbs.

Interestingly, that kidney's function to enhance certain abilities caught Li Zheng by surprise.

As for the Extraordinary Gene Chart Fragment, the information only noted that collecting all pieces could merge into a complete tool.

But what the Super God Gene Chart would do after merging wasn't hinted at.

"Need nine more fragments to merge, it's a long way to go, leave it for now."

Once sorted, Li Zheng suddenly felt that, from a current perspective, this Diamond Treasure Chest opening was disappointing.

Except for the last two materials, the rest were just collecting dust for now.

What a load of bull…

However, getting five Gold Level Active Cores at once was good news for Li Zheng, and the hundred Advanced Modules also completed the materials for the TJP-type Ion Shield.

He pulled out the blueprint and crafted it right away.

Thirty seconds later, a black metallic belt appeared in Li Zheng's hand.

[TJP-type Ion Shield, Platinum, Equipment

Description: Once activated, a shield is deployed around you to block flying objects.

Note: The shield is ineffective against melee weapons.

Note: Only accepts Platinum or higher Power Core for recharging.

Old Pu: This device is a Divine Artifact if used well, and still a Divine Artifact if used poorly.

Be careful of explosive projectile tools. Although you're not afraid of high temperatures, the shield doesn't block impact forces.

It's recommended to use sparingly, the energy consumption might make you wish you were dead!]

"Not bad, it looks pretty strong."

He casually clipped the belt at his waist, twisting his hips left and right, feeling no discomfort, nor any impact on his usual combat moves.

The key thing is, it's very lightweight, almost no noticeable weight.

"Once I merge the three Identity Cards, I'll decide on the use for these five Active Cores."
