Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day-Chapter 771 - 534: The most ridiculous ability is actually by my side?!

I thought life in the Outer City would be a bit more comfortable, but within half a day, I'd encountered so many things that it left Li Zheng with a bit of a mind fog.

Seeing Basil constantly busy and dealing with things Li Zheng had never heard of, he felt too embarrassed to interrupt any further and returned to his greenhouse with Kota.

"You, bar... done busy?" Mirel asked without lifting her head when she heard movement.

In just under twenty minutes, her Chinese had become more and more fluent, and she had even picked up the pronunciation on her own, striving to speak each word clearly and correctly.

"Yes, done. In general... although I gleaned quite a bit of information, it doesn't have much use for me at the moment." Li Zheng sat beside Mirel, waved a hand to send Kota next door to take care of his two foolish brothers, saving them from causing more ridiculous incidents.

"How about you? How's your learning going?"

"Pretty well." Mirel flipped the screen with a touch: "I'm almost mastering Chinese, and I've noticed something strange about your race's language. Although there are over 40,000 characters, only a bit over 2,000 are used in daily life. Once you learn those 2,000 characters, there's pretty much no barrier in communicating with you."

"By the way..." Mirel looked up and asked, "What are the additional 40,000 characters used for? I don't see people using them often."

"Hmm..."

This question stumped Li Zheng because even he didn't understand what those lesser-known characters were for, and he wasn't bored enough to delve into it deeply. So he jokingly said, "To show off knowledge, you can understand it as showing off."

"Showing off?" Mirel was stunned for a moment and started searching in the dictionary, muttering to herself: "Although I can sense the specific meaning of this word through special perception - to show that a person is very impressive and unique, but literally speaking... found it!"

"Show: To mean to load, assemble, or disguise."

She flipped through the dictionary again.

"Off: To mean to compel, force, and also fem... um???"

After reading the dictionary explanation, questions seemed to gather over Mirel's head: "It doesn't make sense... How does it make sense... Why do show and off together have this meaning? Literally, isn't it installing something on oneself or disguising oneself?"

Trying to thoroughly understand the meaning, Mirel pondered for a long time, then suddenly realized.

"I get it! The reason 'showing off' signifies someone impressive and unique is because that person has installed an organ that doesn't belong to them; naturally, they'd be unique! And this act, from a biological standpoint, is impossible without special means, so that person is impressive!"

"Yes! That's right!" Mirel enthusiastically clapped her hands together, "I've learned, I've learned!"

Li Zheng: "..."

Watching Mirel's earnest expression, he hesitated to remind her that this term wasn't a compliment but an insulting phrase.

Never mind, as long as she's happy.

"You continue learning; I'm going to find Xu for a bit."

After telling Mirel, Li Zheng found a corner, pulled out a bed, lay down, and touched the pattern on his palm.

The next second, his vision went black, and he found himself in another world devoid of light.

"You're here."

Xu appeared before Li Zheng, seemingly expecting his arrival.

"I'm here," Li Zheng nodded.

"You're late," Xu said.

"I got caught up in something," Li Zheng explained.

"What could be more important than meeting me? Hmm?" Xu noted with curiosity and carefully examined Li Zheng for a moment, "How did your Spiritual Power suddenly increase so much?"

Before, when Li Zheng entered the Dark Realm, although his body was tangible, it was somewhat unstable.

Coming this time, he was noticeably more stable than before.

His Spiritual Power had tripled!

"I got lucky and obtained a treasure, so the enhancement was significant," Li Zheng didn't hide his situation, considering Xu existed in the Dark Realm and couldn't leave.

Even if he could leave, he wouldn't be interested in something of a lower Tier.

"Not bad, not bad!" Xu circled around Li Zheng, nodding repeatedly, "With your current Spiritual Power strength, you can already form your first node."

"Node..." Li Zheng looked up at the patch of starlight overhead, "I forgot to ask last time, what is the purpose of forming a Spiritual Power Node? Why form nodes?"

"That's a good question," Xu stopped turning, "Do you ever feel that controlling your Spiritual Power isn't precise enough, and it gradually dissipates over time?"

"The control not being precise is true, but isn't that something that can improve with effort and practice?" Li Zheng asked in puzzlement because Mirel had helped him practice today using her own method, yielding considerable results.

"It can, but there are limits." Xu moved her fingers, and a node above descended, gradually transforming from starlight into a massive star.

Standing in front of this node made Li Zheng seem as insignificant as an ant.

In the next moment, the star-like node suddenly compressed into the size of a ping-pong ball, orbiting slowly around Xu, tracing the previous path with each orbit without any deviation.

"Can you do this like I can?" Xu asked.

"... I can achieve a similar form, but to have an object orbit around me precisely without any deviation, I'm not quite there."

Li Zheng had performed this operation before, with eight Ice Needles orbiting around him, which had frightened that Multi-Eyed Race to death.

"Once you've condensed your first node, you'll be able to precisely control an object, just like I can," Xu said, moving a finger to produce another node orbiting alongside, "Two means two, three means three, and so on."

"So now you can control at least six-figure objects?" Li Zheng was stunned by the sky full of 'stars'.

"Theoretically, yes." Xu moved her fingers, and the two nodes orbiting around him flew back into the sky.

Li Zheng: "Theoretically?"

"Yes, it's just a theoretical possibility." Xu smiled slightly, "Actually, at my level, I don't know the upper limit either, but it's no less than seven-figure units."

"Seven... seven figures!" 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Li Zheng was dumbfounded, for Xu wasn't referring to concepts like 'dust' or 'sand grains' as units.

At this level, perhaps with a thought, he could move mountains and fill seas!

Back then, if Yu Gong was as powerful, those troublesome mountains would have long been smashed to the Celestial Court!

"After control, let's discuss power," Xu said, smiling sheepishly, "I read a little of your memory earlier for description convenience, but I assure you I didn't look at anything else, only getting a sense of your level division over there."

"It seems that if you progress further, you'll reach the so-called Basic Level threshold, right?" Xu said boldly, "Once you successfully form your first node, your strength will smoothly transition to Basic Level. Once you expand the first node to my current single standard, you can reach the next Tier threshold."

Li Zheng: "..."

He looked up again, trying to count the stars in the sky.

It's a good thing Xu can't leave, otherwise, wouldn't a mere thought obliterate the heavens and earth?

Li Zheng realized perhaps he had found a cultivation and promotion method more outrageous than all the Abilities in the Matrix; as long as he wasn't dead, he could continue getting stronger!
