Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day-Chapter 777 - 540: District Teleportation

"Let's not talk about that now. You were in the Dark Realm for so long; did you have any discoveries?"

Mirel put down her handheld computer. After long hours of high-frequency learning, even she felt a bit exhausted. It was a good opportunity to chat with Li Zheng and relax mentally.

"I..."

Before he could speak, a commotion sounded outside the greenhouse. Kota rushed in, looking panicked, and sighed in relief upon seeing Li Zheng and the others were fine: "Boss, it's great that you're okay..."

"What happened?" Li Zheng looked outside. Hu Er, Hu San, and two members of the Vine Race, one elder and one young, were out there. Words like 'still terrified' appeared in their status panels, making him frown immediately.

Could it be that someone came looking for trouble while I was in the Dark Realm?

Li Zheng looked at Mirel with an inquisitive look, but she also wore a puzzled expression, indicating she knew nothing.

"Did you... did you not feel it?" Kota panted heavily, looking like he was about to collapse: "Just... just now, a super terrifying pressure suddenly appeared in the Outer City, and... and we just felt a bit of it and couldn't help but feel the urge to submit.

Boss... you didn't sense it?"

Seeing Li Zheng's puzzled appearance, Kota was surprised. Unless the boss had extremely dull Spiritual Power, he shouldn't fail to sense that pressure.

But the ways the boss dealt with them earlier clearly proved he had remarkable proficiency in Spiritual Power, possibly close to the pinnacle level that Spiritual Power could reach, so he shouldn't have failed to sense it.

"Extremely terrifying pressure?" Li Zheng asked Mirel: "Is that true?"

Mirel appeared confused: "No, I was studying Chinese the entire time and never felt any so-called pressure."

"You didn't sense it either?" Kota was even more surprised; this little Enchanting Demon was the boss's pet, not even as strong as them, so how could she not feel it?

Outside the greenhouse, Kang'er and his grandson listened to their conversation, a deep fear flashing in their eyes.

One of them had lived longer than Kota and experienced more, while the other was knowledgeable. Both understood the real reason Li Zheng and Mirel hadn't sensed that pressure.

"Grandfather, we seem to have taken in a... remarkable person!" Basil communicated with a unique wave, a special encrypted communication method of the Vine Race, using vine limbs placed over Kang'er.

"Indeed!" Kang'er muttered unperturbed: "No wonder he could produce resources that were long lost on the surface; I suspect those factory destructions were also related to him."

"Should we expose him?" Basil eyed Li Zheng with apprehension: "Such a dangerous person staying near us might lead to uncontrollable events."

"Absolutely not!" Kang'er dared not think such a thing: "Someone like him should be well tended to; as for his true identity, we act as if we don't know, even if enforcers take us for questioning, we'll firmly insist he's just in a simple business relationship with us!"

"I understand," Basil withdrew his vine limbs, planning to leave Street No. 903 tomorrow. Cooperating with such a person was like seeking skin from a tiger; he didn't want to get involved.

Compared to young Basil, the elderly Kang'er had a much clearer mind.

He'd seen many small initially unknown factions rise to the top of the street's power structure by connecting with a powerful figure, and also witnessed many major factions being annihilated overnight in the Outer City for offending such figures.

Though the Outer City seemed quietly peaceful on the surface, it was actually more dangerous than the overall chaotic Matrix, with life and death sometimes hinging on how they chose or their attitude towards a particular event or existence.

Initially, Kang'er let Li Zheng stay because he could provide intermediate Cultivation Liquid, readily available for trade whenever needed.

But upon realizing Li Zheng was the source of the terrifying pressure earlier, this old member of the Vine Race developed ambitions he dared not have before.

Perhaps...

Could he leverage his connection to this figure to secure the entire street's share of high-end products?

By then, the Kang'er Botanical Garden would become the largest supplier in Street No. 903!

Realizing what was happening, Li Zheng, thanks to Kota's description and the coinciding timing with his emergence from the Dark Realm, had enough clues to figure out what happened. If he didn't, it would be too foolish.

Li Zheng intended to stimulate his Spiritual Power once again to try, but due to concerns about the risk of a Spiritual Power outburst harming himself first, he only reassured Kota and the others, telling them to stay quietly next door without overthinking things.

After they all left, Li Zheng cautiously released a trace of Spiritual Power, taking some time to establish a soundproof barrier around himself and Mirel.

"I think... I know what happened just now."

Before Li Zheng could speak, Mirel spoke first: "What happened in the Dark Realm? Why such a drastic change?"

"I..." Li Zheng smiled wryly, not expecting Mirel to be so perceptive. She had already roughly guessed based on Kota and the others' description before he even explained.

He roughly recounted what had transpired, keeping secret the fact he was a clone and the possibility of having 'siblings' out in the Wilderness or Outer City.

Listening to Li Zheng's account, Mirel's expression grew increasingly surprised: "How could Void be so reckless? Doing such dangerous things? Doesn't he understand that forcing overly powerful Spiritual Power into a fragile body easily courts disaster?"

The Enchanting Demon Race was half an expert in Spiritual Power; in history, the most powerful Enchanting Demon Queen once gathered her Spiritual Powers and transferred them to a newborn at her deathbed, only to have the newborn Enchanting Demon explode into pulp on the spot.

Not only that, the explosion of spiritual power out of control will not only destroy a fragile shell but also leave impacts that take generations to slowly erase.

When the experiment occurred back then, the Enchanting Demon Race took as long as thirty years to completely erase the out-of-control spiritual power.

During this period, there were always ten of the most powerful spiritualists in the Enchanting Demon Race controlling the spiritual power to prevent it from spreading.

And the intensity of Xu's spiritual power is at least equivalent to hundreds of millions of the Enchanting Demon Queen from that year.

It is conceivable that if Li Zheng explodes now, perhaps another spiritual storm will be born.

And it would be a spiritual storm existing within the Outer City!

This would absolutely be a catastrophe for all races!

"I really should have entered the Dark Realm with you just now," Mirel regretted in annoyance. "I was so absorbed in studying that I almost let Xu brew a tragedy."

If I were present, I would certainly act to stop Xu's actions.

"Now it's too late to say anything." Li Zheng grimaced with a bitter smile: "I can feel that my body simply cannot accommodate such spiritual power. Even if I can temporarily maintain stability now, it will inevitably burst completely someday in the future."

It depends on his luck; if he's unlucky, he might trip the next second, and then everything will be gone.

"So what we urgently need to do is find a container for your spiritual power..." Mirel was speaking when her face fell.

What kind of exaggerated container would be needed to store such powerful spiritual power?

This is only possible because Li Zheng's spiritual power has some compatibility with his body. Due to some bizarre instinct of self-preservation, he hasn't exploded at the first moment the spiritual power returned.

Otherwise, my consciousness might permanently remain in the process of learning Chinese...

"I have an idea about the container." Li Zheng raised his hand, revealing the mark of the Lamp Holder: "Perhaps I can store the spiritual power in the Dark Realm?"

"Good idea. But can you cut your spiritual power and only put most of it in there?" Mirel asked, squinting her eyes slightly.

"..." Li Zheng was silent for a moment, then helplessly said, "I can't!"

Don't even think about separating the spiritual power; he doesn't even dare to touch the spiritual power recklessly now. Who knows if touching it might result in a 'boom'?

"So you mean to put the entire spiritual body into the Dark Realm?" Mirel crossed her arms and asked: "Then your own consciousness will also go in, so how will you control the body?"

"Ah, this..." Li Zheng racked his brains: "If I can use the Lamp Holder to connect the Dark Realm with my spiritual domain and open a portal, maybe I can put the spiritual power into the Dark Realm while still controlling the body?"

Slap!

"Well said!"

Mirel clapped her hands, asking: "So, here's the question. How are you going to do that?"

"Well..." Li Zheng thought for a while and finally came up with an idea: "Professional matters should be left to professionals. I definitely can't modify the Lamp Holder myself, but someone can do it."

"Who?"

"The Blacksmith!"

Li Zheng mentioned a codename. Among those he knew, if the Blacksmith claimed to be second in manufacturing, no one would dare to claim to be first! 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

"If I remember correctly, the main store of the Blacksmith Shop is at storefront number 30 on Seventh Block. We can go there and visit personally."

Moreover, someone knowledgeable about matters of crossing blocks can be consulted. Didn't Kang'er's grandson Basil just return from another block recently?

We can just ask him how to go.

"You want to go to Seventh Block?"

Basil had just returned to the greenhouse to tend to the plants when Li Zheng and Mirel came over. He blinked: "Why the sudden need to go to such a far place?"

"Far?"

Li Zheng felt a hint of unease at this word: "Doesn't the Outer City have a direct teleportation gate to the Seventh Block? Or do we have to traverse the Wilderness?"

Basil set down the work in his hands and replied: "First, every block in the Outer City indeed has a teleportation gate to other places. However, the destinations are fixed blocks, and if the block number you want to go to is quite different from the one you're in, you'll need frequent teleportations. It might take hundreds of teleportations to reach."

"And each block teleportation requires a certain fee, ranging from a few hundred White Crystal Coins to over ten thousand."

"That's why very few people do cross-block business; the teleportation fees are just too high for most people to afford."
