Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day-Chapter 58 - 56: Luo Aiman was so angry that she wanted to curse.
Chapter 58: Chapter 56: Luo Aiman was so angry that she wanted to curse.
"You better not mention something you can’t afford to trade."
After Luo Aiman finished the introduction, his tentacle flicked, and the toothpick disappeared into the void, "By the way, is it customary on your side to point weapons at each other when discussing business?"
"Ah, sorry!"
Li Zheng quickly came to his senses, hurriedly put away the Desert Eagle, and stood properly.
Luo Aiman, unfazed, waved his tentacle and said, "No worries, the attack just now has been offset as part of the trade, so you don’t have to worry about me retaliating. Speaking of which..."
He pointed a tentacle at Li Zheng’s feet and said, "Is that your pet?"
"Pet?"
Li Zheng turned his head, realizing that the little figure of Xiao Ying was no longer on his shoulder.
Looking down, he saw the little guy lying stiff on the ground with eyes closed, looking peaceful.
"Hmm..."
Li Zheng opened Xiao Ying’s pet panel and saw the word ’Healthy’ under the status column, knowing the little one was playing dead.
"Haha..."
Li Zheng chuckled awkwardly as he picked up Xiao Ying and held her in his arms, feeling the slight tremor, knowing Luo Aiman had scared her.
Not just Xiao Ying, if the space here wasn’t so small, upon seeing someone catch a bullet with their bare hands, Li Zheng would’ve straight up +3 and said goodbye.
That was a bullet imbued with Platinum Level Genetic Ability!
Currently, it was Li Zheng’s strongest attack method!
The opponent caught it with ease, even chewing and swallowing it like a candy!
Who wouldn’t shiver at the sight of such an opponent?
"The kid’s still young, so she’s very sleepy."
Li Zheng made up an excuse offhandedly, then began to think about what he could currently trade.
After all, according to Luo Aiman, as long as he didn’t propose a trade beyond his means, there would be no danger.
In fact, if handled properly, the two trading opportunities could become a significant opportunity!
And possibly, besides the treasures from the treasure chests in the Matrix, it would be his biggest opportunity!
"It’s a pity the game has just started for too short a time, the advanced items I can currently access are quite limited, and I only have a vague idea of the specifics of many items’ value, otherwise I would try trading some rare items."
Li Zheng silently tallied up all his stock and found that most were various Black Iron Level materials, with few Bronze Level and above items.
As for Gold Level materials, he almost had none.
"As for props other than materials, besides that weapon blueprint, only the Space Jumping Device can be taken out for trade."
"If only I could trade Black Iron Level materials for high-level items..."
After pondering for a moment, he tentatively asked, "Can I use low-level items to exchange for high-level ones?"
"Oh?"
Luo Aiman raised an eye slightly, seemingly surprised at the question, and retorted, "Can you use a hundred one-dollar coins to buy a hundred-dollar item from a store?"
The answer was, of course, possible!
Li Zheng felt invigorated.
Luo Aiman reminded him, "But you need to think it through because using low-level items for high-level goods involves a premium. Moreover, if all you bring out are materials, it can only be exchanged for one-tier higher material items."
Materials can only be exchanged for materials.
This trading restriction wasn’t a problem for Li Zheng.
Because he only wanted to trade for materials anyway.
"Oh, right."
Li Zheng remembered another question: "Does one trading opportunity mean I can only trade one item at a time, or can I exchange for multiple items as long as I provide things in one go?"
For example, if I take out a hundred Black Iron Level materials at once, which could be exchanged for ten Bronze Level materials, would it count as one trade or ten trades?"
"Hmm, this question... Although it seems like you’re trying to exploit a loophole, but..."
Luo Aiman also evaluated whether the trade could generate enough value and checked his inventory.
"If you’re just trading low-level materials, congratulations, it’s the former."
For such a weak player, how much could they stockpile in just a few days?
"Great!"
Li Zheng confirmed, feeling completely excited.
If that’s the case, the possibilities for this trade are enormous!
"Please wait a moment, Manager Luo, I have quite a lot to bring out, it might take some time to prepare."
"No problem, time is something I’m not short of."
Luo Aiman waved a tentacle, letting Li Zheng prepare the trade items, then turned his swivel chair, disappearing from Li Zheng’s sight.
He estimated that Li Zheng needed time to exchange or borrow some items from other players for the trade.
In such an environment, how many friends can you make?
Even if you trade, how much can you trade for?
Laughably fearless!
Turning away, Luo Aiman didn’t even keep this in mind.
"Since that’s the case..."
Li Zheng took out his capsule residence, setting it up in the room, and entered with Xiao Ying in his arms.
"No need to wait for other players on the channel to grow up, I can take off directly today!"
His eyes were full of excitement and anticipation.
"Open Trade Hall!"
In the next moment, the list unfolded, and Li Zheng found all the potion-making commissions already listed under his name and began taking on tasks.
The Genetic Potion Making Station whirred to life, producing batches of potions, most of them being 1+ Extreme Black Iron Level Genetic Potions.
Only a few were 2+ Extreme potions.
This time, during production, Li Zheng kept all the excess materials.
To him, these 1+ and 2+ Extreme materials, even if made into potions, would only be sold in the Trade Hall to exchange for food or advanced materials in the end.
Yet the trading cycle would be very long.
But after meeting Luo Aiman, he could directly exchange materials for higher-level materials in ways he urgently needed, such as 3+ Extreme or even higher!
After some busy work, seeing the large number of commission orders hanging in the Trade Hall, Li Zheng took the opportunity to produce five Intelligent Humanoids, having them help classify and stack all the excess materials in the residence.
...
Half an hour later, all potion orders were completed, and the excess blood materials were neatly classified and stacked by the five Intelligent Humanoids, looking like over ten small hills!
At this point, these Intelligent Humanoids were already standing in the corner, recharging themselves.
"Tsk tsk, the capsule residence’s biggest drawback compared to the backpacks in games I used to play is the inability to organize with one click. But with the Intelligent Humanoids, it saved me a lot of work this time."
Although the capsule residence itself had the functionality to move internal items, it was limited to "devices"; other items could only move back and forth between the capsule and Li Zheng.
Moreover, this functionality required Li Zheng to be inside the capsule residence.
In capsule state, only the "Collect" and "Retrieve" functions remained, making item classification quite inconvenient.
For some players with OCD, organizing these items every day would take an awful lot of time.
Li Zheng shook his head and sighed, "It’s a pity that the Power Core inside the Intelligent Humanoid can’t be taken out like a water purifier, otherwise it could be used as a Power Core charger."
After all the energy inside the Power Core is used up, it becomes a transparent little glass ball. Checking the information, the system indicates that the energy is exhausted and unusable.
When creating items, only fully charged Power Cores can be used as materials. Once even 0.1% of the energy is consumed, the Power Core cannot be used as material again and can only be used for recharging or energy supply replacement for devices.
As for the exhausted ones, they can either be discarded or kept, taking up a bit of space in the capsule residence.
However, even so, after handling the orders this time, the fully charged Black Iron Level Power Cores Li Zheng possessed, combined with those decomposed from the previous room, barely reached triple digits, totaling up to 103!
Converted into Black Iron Level Genetic Potions, it’s more than five hundred bottles!
"No wonder William loved being a shrewd merchant, turns out being one is so profitable!"
Li Zheng tutted and recalled a sentence he once saw online.
"To make money in business, you need to have a conscience. Once you lose it... damn, you make a lot!"
"Even when dismantling devices I’ve made, the Power Cores obtained seem to always be fully charged. Maybe next time, I should try disassembling devices after using them and see if I still get a fully charged Power Core?"
Thinking this, Li Zheng picked up Xiao Ying, who was playing dead but still munching on some food, and exited the capsule house.
"Manager Luo, I’m ready now."
Li Zheng packed up the capsule residence.
"Alright, then let’s conti... Oh my...!!!! That’s a lot!?"
Luo Aiman turned his swivel chair around, and upon seeing the sight of over ten small hills, he couldn’t maintain his composure and cursed.
