Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day

The second room.

An endless plain stretches as far as the eye can see; a gentle breeze blows, and the air is fresh.

According to Old Pu's information, there is a Platinum Level creature that has just wandered over here.

Li Zheng immediately scanned the area but saw no sign of it. Old Pu gave a brief hint.

[Head straight ahead for 1,300 meters, that's where love encounters.]

"Over a thousand meters, let's fly over." Li Zheng turned and said, "Sakura, all the battles today are yours to handle."

Sakura, with a pink Poli tied to her leg, patted her chest in agreement: "Awoo!"

"Alright." Li Zheng pointed forward and commanded: "Go!"

"Awoo~"

Sakura spread her wings and took off, the pink Poli fluttering in the wind, excitedly shouting: "Polili~"

Li Zheng flew up to follow and cautioned: "That's a Platinum Level opponent, don't be careless."

"Awoo!"

Sakura nodded seriously.

The pink Poli, however, ignored it and continued to sway with the wind: "Popoli~"

Li Zheng glanced at it, a bit helpless.

The pink Poli only acknowledged Sakura, often ignoring his commands.

"With Pink Poli here, a mere Platinum Level creature shouldn't be a match for Sakura."

Thinking this, Li Zheng gradually slowed down, trailing behind Sakura.

Rushing ahead, the pair quickly spotted the wandering Platinum creature.

"Awuuu~!"

Sakura shouted excitedly, suddenly accelerating and activating her Fast Flight ability, charging towards the opponent.

"Poli!" Pink Poli also noticed the Platinum creature. During Sakura's descent, it stretched its body, transforming into a pair of muscular Monster Fists, showing off its might.

Li Zheng didn't follow suit but hovered in mid-air to watch.

It was a crustacean, its entire body covered in hard shell, dark red like rust.

Four massive claws, like excavator arms, were raised high, three of which were damaged, revealing the tender white flesh inside clearly.

[Dominant Sunset Shrimp

Tier: Platinum

Status: Injured

Description: A mutant bred over generations through genetic engineering, known for its delicious meat and strong fertility, and thus kept in captivity.

Traits: High defense, strong claw grip.

Weakness: Slow land movement speed.

Fatal Weakness: Junction of the chest and abdomen.

Old Pu: Place your bets, place your bets! Can the little one achieve an easy victory in his first solo battle?

I bet 50 cents, yes!

And you?]

"Tch, I thought you were the bookie, but instead you placed your bet on the most likely winning option first." Li Zheng rolled his eyes but noted the important points in the information.

"A captive species, where did it escape from?"

To tell the truth, Li Zheng found it quite absurd.

A Platinum Level creature, even if injured, throwing it among ordinary players would be a massacre.

At this stage, many players are still unable to break through its defense.

Yet, such a creature is still a captive breed.

This made him feel like players didn't even have the worth of being bred.

"This is quite close to the doctor; could it be..." Li Zheng had a strange expression, "escaped from the doctor?"

Realizing the opponent was a doctor, it made sense to keep some creatures at home for research, right?

Below, the battle between Sakura and the Dominant Sunset Shrimp had already begun.

"Awoo!"

Boom!

Boom!

Sakura started with an Earth Ridge Piercing, knocking over the Dominant Sunset Shrimp with a direct hit. Its solid shell allowed it to survive the initial assault without much damage.

"Polili!"

Pink Poli launched a barrage of Monster Fists, raining punches down on the Dominant Sunset Shrimp with little effect.

The shrimp took the opportunity to roll over, lifting all four claws simultaneously, trying to clamp Poli's Monster Fists.

Snap, snap...

The continuous clamping was deftly dodged by Pink Poli.

Yet this made it cautious, hesitant to attempt another chain of Monster Fists attacks, fearing being accidentally trapped while rolling over.

After releasing one Earth Ridge Piercing, Sakura weaved through the air, seemingly considering a strategy.

The Dominant Sunset Shrimp's defense was too strong; neither Sakura nor Pink Poli had the means to break through, leaving them with no choice but to seek the opponent's weakness to win.

The shrimp also knew its strengths; no matter how Sakura flew, it faced her with the toughest parts, like its head and claws.

The four claws lifted above, like a wall, blocking Pink Poli's attack route.

"Awoo~"

Suddenly, Sakura had an epiphany, recalling a childhood memory of ambushing hermit crabs, thinking of a strategy, and immediately communicated with Pink Poli.

"Poli!"

A tiny head popped up on Pink Poli's monstrous arm, nodding to Sakura.

Subsequently, the muscular Monster Fist transformed, with the front end becoming thin and sharp.

"Awoo!"

Sakura was pleased with this and ordered an attack.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh~

Under Sakura's direction, Pink Poli launched another chain of Monster Fist attacks.

This time, its attacks focused entirely on the damaged parts of the Dominant Sunset Shrimp's claws. As long as the spikes pierced in, they could tear out a piece of tender shrimp meat.

The meat inside the massive claws being torn was unbearably painful for the shrimp, causing it to roll on the ground and retract the three damaged claws, leaving only the intact one to defend.

As the assault had an effect, Pink Poli extended its body again, attempting to bypass the claw and continue its attack.

"Awoo!" Sakura stopped it, her eyes fixed on the Dominant Sunset Shrimp, contemplating something.

If she hadn't mistaken it, during the shrimp's rolling, two pieces of shell became misaligned.

Sakura recalled Li Zheng's teaching: Pay attention to details, as they determine success or failure!

Although her master was embarrassed right after saying this, Sakura found the advice reasonable and committed it to memory.

The two shell fragments showed no signs of damage, so misalignment had to be justified!

Perhaps…

That's the opponent's weak point?

Sakura made a swift decision to attack that spot!

A moment later, the ground began to tremble violently.

This was the brief prelude to an Earth Ridge Piercing attack.

The shrimp, having dealt with this move before, promptly lowered its body, abdomen pressed to the ground, ready to roll at the moment the spikes emerged from the soil.

In the next second, the ground spikes shot up, with the sharpest tip impacting precisely at the junction of the shrimp's chest and abdomen.

Here was the "fatal weakness" as hinted by Old Pu!

Snap!

With a crisp sound, the spike penetrated the gap, the shrimp still wanting to roll but getting stuck by its shell.

Rumbling!

As the spike rose, the shrimp's massive body, comparable to a heavy truck, was lifted off the ground.

"Awoo!"

Sakura, overjoyed, flew above the shrimp and directed Pink Poli to attack.

In the next instant, Pink Poli transformed back into its muscular Monster Fist, relentlessly pounding on the shrimp's shell.

This time, impact was prioritized over damage.

The speed of the Monster Fist barrage reached its peak, the incessant hitting sounds echoing in the air.

Sakura didn't idle either, opening her mouth to consecutively launch Flying Rock Bombs at the shrimp.

The scene filled with constant crackling, lively and intense.

Finally!

With a crisp cracking sound, the shrimp suddenly sunk by a meter, its entire body arching in agony, struggling fiercely.

Gradually, its movements slowed until it finally became still.

"Awuuu~~"

Sakura called Pink Poli to halt, letting out a triumphant shout at her first solo battle success.

"Polili!"

Pink Poli flaunted its muscular Monster Fists, showing off its prowess.
