Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day-Chapter 769 - 532: Kangaroo Delivery, Mission Accomplished!

Li Zheng was assigned a task by the terminal?

Nope!

In fact, the message he received was from a so-called 'logistics company,' notifying him that there was a package to pick up at the intersection where the alley from Kang'er Botanical Garden meets the main road.

"A package sent to me by someone else. Could it be that Zi Shu knew I entered the Outer City, so he entrusted someone to deliver the custom translation device?" Li Zheng walked out of the Kang'er Botanical Garden and looked towards the alley entrance, where a uniformed... kangaroo person was standing?

Powerful legs, long and strong tail, thin and slender cheeks, plus the pouch revealed at the uniform's belly opening.

No doubt about it, it's a kangaroo person!

The kangaroo deliveryman was dutifully standing at the alley mouth, striking various bodybuilder poses, his entire body covered in muscles that made his uniform stretch tightly.

Even from afar, Li Zheng worried for him, wondering if he might accidentally tear his uniform apart.

Pedestrians on the main road seemed unsurprised by this race's habit of making bodybuilding poses, with none stopping or glancing over, making the kangaroo athlete's actions seem like a futile display.

Li Zheng walked over quickly.

"Hello, I'm here to pick something up."

Li Zheng politely addressed the kangaroo deliveryman when he reached him.

He couldn't help it; the mysterious "unknown" status on the old terminal's interface suggested the courier's level, making rudeness not an option.

Beep.

A sound triggered by electronic machinery played in the kangaroo deliveryman's ear, and after a moment, he asked, "Are you Li Zheng?"

Looks like the translation software was just adjusting the language.

Li Zheng looked at the courier's ear. He'd seen similar earbud-type devices in translation tool shops before, with prices so steep that it cost a hefty five hundred thousand White Crystal Coins to buy one!

But with such a high price came equally high benefits.

Though seemingly just an earbud in size, its capacity far surpassed other models, capable of storing all languages and updating the system in real-time as races were added to the Matrix, automatically switching based on the other party's speech when encountering the corresponding race, extremely convenient.

Of course, there was a downside.

It couldn't translate text. If someone wrote an insult to you, you might mistakenly think they were praising you.

"That's me." Li Zheng showed his Inscription Card.

But the kangaroo deliveryman waved his hand: "Don't show me, I can't read."

Li Zheng was momentarily stunned before realizing that everyone's exclusive Inscription Card displayed text based on their race, making it incomprehensible to others without a translator.

Previously, when trading with Yakumo, he had sneaked a look at the contents on the other's card, only to see a string of garbled characters.

The kangaroo deliveryman took out a device and scanned Li Zheng's face.

After waiting for feedback, he retrieved several items from the pouch on his belly and handed them to Li Zheng: "These are items the blacksmith shop entrusted me to deliver, and the delivery fee has been settled. You just need to sign off on the receipt."

Li Zheng accepted the items: "Where do I sign?"

"Here." The kangaroo deliveryman extended the device used to scan him earlier: "Just swipe your Inscription Card over it."

"Is it that advanced?" As instructed, Li Zheng swiped his Inscription Card where the kangaroo deliveryman pointed, and a prompt popped up on the screen, yet another kind of twisted, unsightly garble.

"All done." The kangaroo deliveryman nodded and put away the device. "I need to report back. According to company practice, I have to pitch to you. If you ever need cross-district delivery of items, remember Kangaroo Delivery!"

Saying this, the kangaroo deliveryman energetically performed a few bodybuilding poses with high spirits: "Kangaroo Delivery, no matter which district, we can deliver!"

"..." Listening to the straightforward slogan, Li Zheng pondered for a few seconds: "Your company's slogan might be more reliable if changed to 'Kangaroo Delivery, Mission Accomplished', don't you think?"

"Mission Accomplished? Mission Accomplished!" The kangaroo deliveryman repeated a few times, getting even more excited: "Not bad! Delivering items for clients is our mission, and no matter the destination, we'll make sure it gets there! This slogan is great!"

"To thank you, I'll upgrade you to our company's advanced member. From today, you can enjoy three free delivery services!" The kangaroo deliveryman operated on the previous machine for a while.

Li Zheng saw his photo appear on the screen, and with the courier's operation, a luxurious avatar frame appeared next to it.

Goodness, I highly suspect your machine designer is the same team as those on Earth who develop games, even including level differentiation through avatar frames!

After setting it up, the kangaroo deliveryman struck another bodybuilding pose, baring his teeth: "Kangaroo Delivery, Mission Accomplished! Thank you for your trust, see you next time!"

With that, his strong legs gave a powerful push, and he bounded several hundred meters away before landing.

Li Zheng stood by the roadside, watching as the kangaroo deliveryman disappeared from view after a few leaps.

"Awesome, that jump power is unbeatable!"

This was just moving through a crowded area, the other party probably didn't even use full strength.

If it were in a battle and that pair of legs kicked once, Li Zheng had no doubt a halo would appear atop his head.

"The Outer City, truly a place where hidden talents lie..."

With a sigh, Li Zheng returned to Kang'er Botanical Garden with the items he received.

The translation device sent by Zi Shu consisted of three components forming a complete set.

They were: a frameless monocle, a tiny earbud, and a handheld computer.

The monocle could extend a curved headband for the wearer to easily secure it on their head.

It was evident that this monocle was specially crafted by Zi Shu tailored to Li Zheng's physical features, fitting his head perfectly without any discomfort when worn.

The tiny earbud was connected to the handheld computer's database using wireless transmission technology, allowing real-time translations even when the handheld was stored in the storage space.

To wear it, simply insert it into the ear. Barring a heavy blow to the head, it would hardly fall out.

As for the handheld computer, it essentially served as a mobile language database, recording all languages, scripts, and phonetics of every race currently in the Outer City.

The phonetic feature connected to the tiny earbud for real-time translations.

Meanwhile, the script feature was something Li Zheng specifically asked Zi Shu to design, allowing him to learn about other races' scripts during leisure time.

When he opened the "dictionary," Li Zheng was pleasantly surprised to find Zi Shu thoughtfully annotated each language with Chinese characters, indicating meanings and pronunciation.

This set of translation tools, while individually priced at the Star Shining Level, wasn't particularly expensive.

But together, they were undoubtedly more advanced than the model used by the kangaroo deliveryman!

To have such an excellent set of translation tools was thanks to Zi Shu finding a loophole in the terminal, turning what was supposed to be a single Star Shining Level reward into a complete three-piece set.
