Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day

"Damn! These mutants are freaking weird!"

Li Zheng relaxed instantly as he exited the safe zone of the teleportation state.

Facing Divine Power was incredibly stressful, and it ultimately led to a life-threatening situation.

If it weren't for that cloaked figure suddenly stepping in, I would've been finished!

"No, not just finished..." Li Zheng inhaled, "But rather reduced to nothing."

Divine Power had said more than once that Li Zheng was food. If he had died there, he feared even his bones would be chewed up by the starved Divine Power after being tormented by hunger for over ten days.

"Roar!"

A beastly roar came from not too far away. Li Zheng looked in that direction and saw a Cheating Winged Tiger with chaotic and ugly fur.

[Cheating Winged Tiger

Tier: Gold

...]

Without even looking at the detailed information, Li Zheng wasn't interested in such low-level creatures. He snapped his fingers and pointed at the Cheating Winged Tiger: "Xiao Ying, take care of it!"

"Awoo~" Xiao Ying joyfully flew over, easily dealt with the Cheating Winged Tiger, dragged the massive corpse back, and dropped it in front of Li Zheng, submissively.

"Decompose!"

Li Zheng placed his hand on the winged tiger's corpse and looked at Xiao Ying curiously, asking, "What's wrong with you?"

"Awoo..." Xiao Ying crouched and picked up the withered Pink Poli hanging on its leg, looking pleadingly.

The Pink Poli had fiercely protected Xiao Ying from Divine Power, resulting in a severe reduction in size, now only about two basketballs big.

Hanging on Xiao Ying's leg, it looked like a torn plastic bag.

It was because of its desperate protection that Xiao Ying was unharmed and was in the best condition among the three of them.

After reading the information provided by Old Pu, Li Zheng discovered that the Poli Race's characteristics were truly extraordinary.

Although it appeared severely damaged and on the brink of death, the status bar only showed a "dehydrated" negative status.

As long as it gets enough water, it can fully recover in no time.

"It's fine, just take it inside for a bath," Li Zheng said casually, tossing out a capsule residence. He then exchanged for some purified water in the trading hall and poured it into the circulation system.

"Aw!" Xiao Ying cheered upon hearing that the Pink Poli was fine and dashed into the bathroom, swinging the "torn plastic bag."

Listening to the sound of water in the bathroom, Li Zheng thought he should stock up on more purified water in the future, preferably finding a blueprint for a water storage vessel to preserve it.

During battles, he could connect a fire hose to the Pink Poli, refilling whatever it consumed for unlimited endurance, which might work wonders.

Checking the time, it was almost the transition between day and night, just in time for dinner.

Li Zheng decided to prepare dinner at the stove and shared a little in the group, symbolically charging a few Gold Level Active Cores.

Li Zheng intended to express his gratitude for everyone's support by treating them to another meal.

However, except for Phoenix Mountain, everyone else insisted on paying, so he accepted it "reluctantly."

After all, to celebrate tonight, he prepared Gold Level dishes with a Buff increase of 20%.

Accepting a few Gold Level Active Cores wasn't expensive for the others.

When Xiao Ying came out for dinner, the Pink Poli had already returned to its original form, looking livelier and stronger than before dehydration.

"Such an incredible race," Li Zheng marveled at the Poli Race's wonders again.

However, the drawbacks of the Pink Poli Race were also obvious; they couldn't quickly enhance their power by consuming certain special items like Xiao Ying.

They could only grow stronger over time.

Overall, besides their survival ability, they weren't invincible.

After dinner, Li Zheng let the maid clean the dishes and went to the door to start selling potions for the day.

Due to an earlier incident on the world channel, most players had used their loudspeakers then, so Li Zheng didn't have much interaction after sending out the message tonight.

However, private messages remained abundant, keeping Li Zheng busy for nearly an hour until he sold out the day's potion quota.

The quantity of Bronze Blood increased by another five thousand, indeed more than yesterday.

Li Zheng planned to turn all the Bronze Blood into potions and sell them for Silver Blood during the auction.

Moreover, he would sell some Black Iron Level potions to get more people involved in bidding for Bronze Potions.

At that time, adding some Silver Potions and exchanging for Golden Blood wouldn't be impossible.

"After lingering at the Silver Level for so many days, there's finally hope to break through to the Gold Level," Li Zheng activated private chat restrictions and shook his head lightly.

Once he broke through to Gold, the Potion Making Station's value would be almost exhausted. He'd have to rely on treasure chests for higher-level stations and potion recipes.

Li Zheng turned to look at the busy Factory Workers; they had practically been working non-stop these past two days, producing around the clock in relay shifts.

The leeks in Channel 879 also discovered the sale of Black Iron Level Blood in the trading hall, with the fastest-growing already commissioning Black Iron 4+ and 5+ potions.

In a few days, the entire Channel 879 reaching Bronze wouldn't be a problem.

By then, Li Zheng could start promoting potions to other channels, although he hadn't decided which channel to target yet.

He planned to personally investigate before deciding.

After resting enough, Li Zheng called back Xiao Ying, packed up the residence, and took out the Star Thief.

After a moment's hesitation, he didn't head directly to Channel 995 but chose another target.

...

"Mr. Banquan, are we just going to let this go?" Jin Zaiyin squatted across from Banquan Longma, his expression fawning.

Banquan Longma wore a retro samurai outfit with broad sleeves that dragged and were inconvenient.

Unlike others, who stored their weapons in capsules, his hung at his waist, seemingly convenient for access.

In reality, retrieving from a capsule was faster.

Banquan Longma knew this too but felt having a weapon at his waist better suited the Mud Furnace samurai vibe.

A silver-white metal plate sat in front of him. Holding a knife and fork, he cut into freshly roasted beast meat, causing fresh blood to flow out, blooming into a bright red flower on the plate.

Banquan Longma said slowly, "Li Zheng's strength exceeded expectations too much. If we continue opposing him, more of us will die."

Jin Zaiyin had much less to eat, only skewers: "But he even killed your brother, don't you want revenge?"

Banquan Longma paused in his meat-cutting and looked up at Jin Zaiyin, his narrow eyes suddenly narrowing: "He wasn't my brother, just a dog raised by the Banquan Family."

"And a mutt at that." He continued cutting the roast meat and brought it to his mouth with a fork: "Some people thought he was on the same level as my sister in the Banquan Family, unaware... even the Beagle my father raised lived better than me."

He genuinely seemed not at all saddened by the mutt's death.

Jin Zaiyin, however, felt unsatisfied: "Even beating a dog requires seeing its owner first, yet you've personally sought peace on the world channel, and he still killed several people relentlessly, showing no respect to you or Creation."

Clatter!

Banquan Longma suddenly tossed the knife and fork onto the plate, producing a crisp sound, and looked at Jin Zaiyin seriously, saying, "Mr. Jin, you might have misunderstood something..."

"I never intended to be enemies with Mr. Li Zheng; this was all a misunderstanding from the start!"

Saying this, he subtly rested his hand on the knife at his waist, as if ready to slash Jin Zaiyin to pieces if he said one wrong word.

"Mr. Banquan, you..." Jin Zaiyin suddenly sensed something, turned around, and met a pair of cold eyes.
