Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day-Chapter 789 - 551: How to Handle?
The gap in spiritual power can sometimes be even more exaggerated than the difference in mere external strength.
Some people’s external power relies mainly on various advanced weapons and equipment. They hide their fragile bodies in cold steel mechas, relying on the mecha’s strength for defense and high-energy weapons for attack.
This inevitably makes these individuals extremely weak. Once faced with a highly targeted opponent, they could instantly transform from a master who can withstand ten thousand troops into a powerless weakling.
However, this way of enhancement is simple and easy. As long as there is enough money, one can even become one of the top experts in the entire block within a day.
The pros and cons are all present, considered as a means of enhancement that most races in the Outer City choose for their offspring.
Some races, due to their racial limitations, cannot enhance their spiritual power. They can only strive to strengthen their bodies, training to a level comparable to advanced mechas.
This type of strong person, as long as given a cold weapon of sufficient strength, their level of danger and aggression absolutely cannot be matched by the former type.
The biggest advantage is that their flexibility can surpass the former type significantly, capable of toying with purely technological masters like a dog.
Provided that the purely technological opponents do not have weapons of mass destruction, or even if they do, that the latter’s physical strength can withstand it.
Otherwise, a single shot with full fire coverage would still mean the first type is a bit stronger.
Besides the first two types, there’s still a small segment of races in the Outer City that are quite special, they can exist without a physical form.
People of such races generally can enhance their spiritual power to a level that surpasses the limit of other races. Even if it’s just slightly stronger, the improvement in strength is worlds apart.
In the Outer City and the Wilderness, these races are often the most dangerous.
Because they can kill invisibly, and no one dares to provoke them.
Of course, it doesn’t mean that such people are truly invincible and can act as they wish.
If there’s a spear, there must be a shield.
Between the two, neither side can be the strongest, there’s always a way to counter.
For example, the ’Mental Isolation Device’ painstakingly researched by various races in the Outer City. As long as everyone wears one, it can effectively reduce the effect of spiritual attacks.
So when those who saw Li Zheng yesterday began to monitor him, almost everyone was equipped with the most advanced ’Mental Isolation Device’ in the Outer City, trying to reduce the impact when Li Zheng goes berserk on them.
Unfortunately...
They still made a wrong judgment about Li Zheng.
Since no race in the Outer City has researched a way to infinitely enhance spiritual power, they based on their experience assumed that Li Zheng was among those whose spiritual power was at the current limit.
No one considered that this person in front of them, if unleashing his full spiritual power, could sweep across the entire Outer City or more.
That was too exaggerated, beyond their knowledge and understanding.
However, it was also fortunate that they misjudged Li Zheng, not knowing that Li Zheng was just a child holding a check worth a fortune but unable to use it.
Not only unable to use it but rashly using it might even invite fatal disaster.
Li Zheng could only use the method of entering and exiting the Dark Realm, intimidating others by the slight pressure leaked during the spiritual power transfer process.
Actually, as long as the enemies were like Yakumo and others, able to withstand the strongest wave of pressure, afterwards Li Zheng would become a soft target to be manipulated at their will, with no ability to fight back.
"He... is too powerful!"
Among the kneeling and worshiping crowd were no shortage of the top fifty experts in the block rankings, now so terrified that they dared only to communicate with others using the most secretive methods.
"How did he do it? Such terrifying spiritual power, even the strongest of the Ghost Spirit Race in the Third Block cannot contend, right?"
"Ghost Spirit Race? That’s nothing! In front of this lord, even if all the Ghost Spirit Race were combined, they wouldn’t even match a fraction of him!"
After enduring the pressure twice, some people began to change their stance, secretly referring to Li Zheng as a lord.
This change occurs in every race, apart from the psychological effect of submission to the strong, it’s also due to Li Zheng not having killed anyone while exerting pressure twice.
They believe that although Li Zheng is powerful, at least their stance is not opposite to his, thus unconsciously fostering a sense of recognition.
"I heard he is one of the two selected players in the latest batch to enter the Outer City. What is special about this race to break the limits of spiritual power and elevate it to such a terrifying degree?" someone revealed Li Zheng’s identity, although even from Li Zheng’s appearance, others could also tell.
"Just one person is so formidable, what if the two of them teamed up, what would happen then?" someone gasped in shock upon hearing, just imagining two such powerful individuals standing in front of him made him shiver all over, hair standing on end, as if an electric current was surging through his body, tingling.
"What do we do now? Should we continue to press him, to restrain his edge, or find a way to send him to the Wilderness to avoid the potential for unknown disasters?" someone raised a question.
History once had similar occurrences, albeit not as exaggerated as now.
When the Ghost Spirit Race first entered the Outer City, the veterans didn’t take it seriously and oppressed the Ghost Spirit Race.
Later, the strongest of the Ghost Spirit Race could not bear it any longer, went on a rampage, and slaughtered over a dozen of the top hundred experts in several blocks, until the Terminal intervened and provided satisfactory compensation to the other side, ending the matter.
It was since then that the Ghost Spirit Race established a foothold in the Third Block, making countless people envious.
"Continue to press?" someone sneered: "Do you want to replicate the heroic feat of the Ghost Spirit Race topping the Third Block back then?"
Replicate?
The person being addressed shivered, he didn’t want to become a stepping stone on someone else’s path to the top.
"Then what do we do?" another person asked: "Just leave him unchecked?"
People’s hearts are unpredictable, although this strong man hasn’t acted out of line now, who can ensure that he won’t in the future?
When that time comes, everything would be too late.
But reality is very harsh, because all of them have already used every method they could, yet they couldn’t withstand even the spiritual power pressure he unleashed, let alone reckon with the actual outcome if a real conflict broke out.
In the end, there would surely be mass devastation, repeating a similar catastrophe as the Ghost Spirit Race in the past.
This was something they didn’t want to see.
"Actually, this matter is quite manageable." someone with extraordinary wisdom thought carefully and came up with an idea: "Actually, leaving him unchecked might be the most correct approach..."
This sentence awakened most of the people who weren’t that dull-minded.
Exactly!
As long as they leave him unchecked, this lord certainly won’t be content to live in such a low-ranked block.
It’s important to know that there is also a hierarchy in the Outer City. Residents of higher-numbered blocks have increasingly noble statuses and more powerful abilities.
Don’t look down on these people now as the top hundred experts in the block rankings.
Even those ranking second and third, if placed in blocks with numbers starting with eight**, would merely blend in with the crowd.
As for why not mention the first ranking?
Word has it that guy already secretly moved to another block to live a superior life.
