Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day-Chapter 801 - 563: Epic Enhancement of Prelis’ Eye

"I asked about this thing when I bought it." Mireille, seeing Li Zheng's delighted expression, couldn't bear to dampen his spirits: "It's roughly as you guessed; as long as you master enough proficiencies, you can indeed gain an ability called 'Warrior'. However... the Warrior isn't as powerful as you imagine; it just enhances your grasp of various melee weapons."

The so-called weapon mastery isn't hard to understand.

For instance, a player who has never learned to use a long whip, a rather obscure weapon, can quickly get the hang of it after acquiring the Warrior ability.

While Li Zheng practiced for several days just to hit the air, a Warrior player might only need a few hours.

The ability is strong yet weak in its own way.

It's strong in that if someone with high martial talent like Zhan Zhouzhou possesses it, the Warrior can be an added advantage, allowing them to merge and master techniques of different weapons and develop more advanced techniques.

It's weak in that for someone without talent, it only makes any weapon feel comfortable in their hands at best.

That's all there is to it.

So, even though the Memory Release Device looks like a great deal, not many people in the Outer City actually buy it.

With that money, it's better to hire a few sparring partners or teachers, which is much cheaper.

"It doesn't matter, any enhancement in strength is better than none." Li Zheng wasn't disappointed by this.

To him, he isn't looking for his ability to be extraordinary, just that it boosts his strength.

As someone without talent, Li Zheng has a clear understanding of himself now.

Since specializing in one path isn't working, he'd rather diversify his abilities, broadening his scope to enhance his advantage.

Moreover, his strongest asset right now is the terrifying spiritual power that Void granted him, and melee skills are just an added bonus to ensure he's not without options when needed.

"By the way, you still have a few packages there, what did you buy?" Li Zheng tidied up the five Memory Release Devices and, not in a hurry to use them, looked at the other packages Mireille had.

"Things you can use..." Mireille put everything down and took them out one by one: "Or rather, things we can both use."

The first package contained three biological 'tendons', beige in color and very elastic. When Mireille shook them gently, they created beautiful waves.

[Desert Sea Fish Dragon Tendon: The tendon extracted from the spine center of the Extraordinary level creature 'Desert Sea Fish Dragon', possessing excellent toughness, widely used in various industrial machinery or special battle armor manufacturing.

There are undoubtedly even better uses for you.]

"Is this for making a long whip?" Li Zheng took one from Mireille, finding it quite hard; with a press of his nail, it could be compressed, but upon release, it almost left no mark, clearly showing its excellent toughness and strength.

"Exactly." Mireille nodded, saying: "When I bought these, the shopkeeper told me that they're usually used in the Outer City to make a kind of belt for certain mechanical power transmission devices, which is simply a waste of resources, so I bagged the remaining three."

Using such good material for long whip making in industrial applications is something hard for someone like Mireille, who excels in Whip Techniques, to accept.

"How much did you spend?" What Li Zheng cared more about was the value.

"Not expensive, five thousand each, but I haggled it down to four thousand five, so all three cost just over thirteen thousand White Crystal Coins." Mireille disclosed the price.

Extraordinary level material sold for four thousand five hundred White Crystal Coins?

Li Zheng did a quick calculation and found the price acceptable; after all, the item directly becomes an Extraordinary level long whip once made.

Want to buy an Extraordinary level weapon for four thousand five hundred White Crystal Coins?

Li Zheng thought it unlikely.

Forty-five thousand would be more reasonable.

"Leave them with me for now; later, I'll study how to use the schematics in Outer City 9 to make them into a weapon." Li Zheng casually put the materials in a capsule, noting that Outer City isn't as convenient as in the Matrix where blueprints can be crafted by hand.

Turning these three tendons into a weapon would obviously require some conventional methods for assistance.

He's tied up at the moment, so it'll have to be dealt with later.

"And this..."

Mireille pulled out a pale yellow fruit from a box; as it emerged, it exuded a rich fragrance that rushed into Li Zheng's nostrils, making him swallow involuntarily.

"The shopkeeper said this is grown on the clouds, hence the name 'Cloud Fruit', classified as Extraordinary tier, but consuming it has a chance to develop a Star Shining level genetic ability, so it's a bit pricey."

[Cloud Fruit: Marketed as a fruit grown on clouds, but actually cultivated in remote desert areas, having a slight toxicity, consuming it with a physique less than Extraordinary will induce temporary hallucinations.

Effect: May develop Extraordinary level Telekinesis·Illusion type genetic ability, with a small chance to develop Star Shining level of the same ability (depends on the user's compatibility with Cloud Fruit, some special races can significantly enhance this effect).

Note: There is only a chance to develop an ability, not a guaranteed success!]"

Seeing the information provided by Old Prel, Li Zheng had an uneasy feeling.

He fiddled with the Cloud Fruit and asked: "How much did this fruit cost?"

Mireille cautiously replied: "Less than fifty thousand White Crystal Coins, this was the most expensive thing I bought."

Less than fifty thousand...

Li Zheng's breath caught a little; after he teleport and Mireille from Block 950 to 902, they only had about a hundred thousand White Crystal Coins left, and just this single fruit spent half?

Without a doubt, Mireille got scammed.

This fruit isn't worth that much!

Unless it could guarantee the development of genetic ability, fifty thousand White Crystal Coins might have bought merely a tasty fruit.

Although this fruit is Extraordinary tier...

[You might want to try giving it to a little Enchanting Demon to eat, as their gene lines up well with such fruits, having a high possibility to develop a useful ability.]

Just then, Old Prel popped up another hint, which slightly surprised Li Zheng.

How odd!

Since when did Old Prel become this reliable?

Wasn't this guy asking for various foundational strength or large volumes of information not long ago as a basis?

[Heh! (Sneer) Your Prel, the Master, is no longer the same! Wimp!

Do you think everyone is like you, having full strength but being unable to exert it?]

Having full strength...

Li Zheng's expression stiffened suddenly.

What the heck???

How did I overlook such an important matter?

Old Prel's limit is linked to his own strongest ability, didn't the terrifying spiritual power that Void gifted him instantly raise Old Prel's limit to a very horrifying level?

Li Zheng was moved inside, choosing not to mind Old Prel's taunts, he looked up at the gray sky: "Old Prel, help me see the essence of this so-called Outer City!"
