Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day-Chapter 814 - 575: Brimming with Sharpness!

"A Super God Treasure Chest can yield something as extravagant as a Bodhi Tree Seed. Now, with the system upgrade requiring two more Super God Treasure Chests, does this mean I can obtain two more items of equal value before the upgrade?"

Li Zheng looked at the task prompt displayed before him. After pondering for a moment, he shook his head. It's just the first Super God Treasure Chest, thinking like this is too presumptuous.

Who knows, maybe the next Super God Treasure Chest will contain things of slightly lesser value, but in greater quantity?

That's not impossible.

To be honest, Li Zheng had thought about relying on luck to try and find a solution to his spiritual power problem through the Treasure Chest.

But that thought was dismissed the moment it appeared.

The content of the Treasure Chest is entirely random. To put it bluntly, it depends on how our system feels.

If it's in a bad mood, every day there'd be nothing but plain silver quality treasures. Won't that drive you crazy?

Of course, Li Zheng definitely wouldn't blame it all on his bad luck either...

Even if he had a fairly clear understanding of his own face.

"You can't just get a Super God Treasure Chest on a whim. It's been over a month and I only just got my first one. At this rate... won't it take nearly three more months to upgrade the system?"

Upon calculating, Li Zheng felt a sense of helplessness.

The randomness of the daily treasure drawing's quality is a bit too high. If I could reduce the lower tiers that are currently available, the upgrade might outpace my expectations.

Or maybe...

Find another hack to help out?

Isn't there a guy with a surname Feng who has the physique of a koi fish?

Make the best of it, get him to the Outer City as soon as possible, and embrace that blessing buff regularly wouldn't be bad either, right?

"If I hadn't anticipated those subsequent changes, why would I have cautiously left Phoenix Mountain in the Matrix instead of making a collective 'colony' for the Blue Star players?!"

As it turns out, sometimes excessive worrying really is unnecessary. Otherwise, wouldn't those blessing buffs have been timely by now?

"Sigh..."

Li Zheng sighed, looked up at the sky, and thought, where in life isn't there adversity? Isn't 'nine out of ten things don't go as planned' the norm?

Now I just have to wait for that task Zhan Zhouzhou received, which requires a Matrix return, to start. Then I can go directly to the Fourth Street to find Mr. Feng.

"I wonder how the Starting Point Legion is doing now. With both me and Zhan Zhouzhou, the top-tier forces, leaving, it's undoubtedly a blow to the mostly novice members of the Starting Point Legion. The legion ranking must have dropped from the top spot, right?"

Bored, Li Zheng began to let his thoughts wander.

The Teleportation Gate, which hardly anyone uses during the day, is even more unlikely to have users at night. He has plenty of time to waste.

"I wonder if the trouble with Kunlun has been resolved, with Liu Qi's methods, surely it's no difficult matter."

"...Speaking of that, the Starting Point dropping from the legion's top spot, will some sharp-eyed people guess that Zhan Zhouzhou and I are no longer in the Matrix?"

The legion leaderboard refresh mechanism only considers the strongest creature defeated by a member each day, and the creatures a person encounters daily are mostly based on their own strength evaluation. With Phoenix Mountain's current highest combat prowess, it's hard to maintain the top spot for the legion.

Just among those Li Zheng knows who are a match for Phoenix Mountain are Chu Xiao, Ye Fan, Ma Long, and others.

Not to mention some hardworking individuals who are charging ahead with strength.

Don't forget, when the Terminal's live streaming function opened, there were a hundred slots reserved for those with special talents, and nearly all of these hundred people are rivals to Phoenix Mountain!

As long as Starting Point drops from the number one position and can't return for a long time, any player with their wits about them would probably guess a few things.

"If only there were a way to bring the entire legion into the Outer City, then I wouldn't need to worry about them being bullied over there."

Until I can return to the Matrix, my concerns are in vain, so Li Zheng had to change his line of thinking and consider other matters.

From the gossip about Phoenix Mountain, Yan Guang, and Yu Xiaoyu's trio, to the final power division of Kunlun, and Nine Heavens' ambiguous attitude, even Misaka Tsuchiemon's small legion formation, Li Zheng ran through it all in his head.

Before he knew it, the roadside became increasingly crowded with passersby.

The night passed in the blink of an eye.

"Ugh..." Mirel was awakened by the noise of the crowd, lifted her head and looked around in confusion, her small face scrunched up: "Is it daylight?"

Li Zheng glanced at the sky: "Do you think it can get bright here?"

"..." Mirel rubbed her face: "Oh right, I forgot there's no distinction between day and night here, only schedules determined by time."

Saying this, she extended a small hand towards Li Zheng.

Li Zheng got the hint immediately, retrieving a large amount of clear water from a capsule, then the master and servant washed up right there on the street.

"Glug glug glug... pfft!"

All the mouthwash was spat into a basin; Li Zheng dared not spit casually on the street, who knows if someone might report him again?

Moreover, once these dirty waters were collected back into the capsule, they could be purified. Even if they didn't drink it, it could be used to supply the planting area, so there's no waste involved.

"I miss my remodeled bathroom..." Li Zheng reminisced about the freedom of soaking in a hot bath. He didn't bathe last night, and now he feels itchy all over, terribly uneasy.

"What kind of man are you, being even more cleanliness-obsessed than me?" Mirel rolled her eyes. Li Zheng's bathing frequency exceeded hers, genuinely maintaining a routine of daily cleaning. Sometimes, after a particularly grueling battle, he would bathe again before continuing exploration, never settling for less.

"What do you know?" Li Zheng replied nonchalantly while wiping his face: "It's called quality of life! Who else in the Matrix lives like us? During the fishing contest, even when crowded, didn't you cover your nose?"

This freedom of bathing, when spoken of, seems trivial.

Yet if only a tiny fraction out of billions of people can achieve it, then this trivial matter becomes a point of superiority, like feeling a cut above.

Even if others don't know, there would always be a smug sense of delight.

"Ugh, can you not bring that up?" Mirel recalled the bizarre smells she'd encountered when moving through the crowd with Li Zheng, shivering involuntarily.

Just the thought was enough to make her feel queasy... perhaps she'd eat less breakfast.

As per usual, Mirel handled breakfast while Li Zheng sat around waiting to eat.

During this time, Zhan Zhouzhou appeared right in front of Li Zheng and company, very promptly sitting by the table, gazing at Mirel, obedient as ever.

"Only in front of food can you look like this..." Li Zheng couldn't help but tease: "I still remember the fierce look you had when we first met, so annoying."

Zhan Zhouzhou gave Li Zheng a sidelong glance: "It's only been a night, and you're acting all high and mighty... huh?"

Mid-sentence, she suddenly arched an eyebrow, studying Li Zheng in surprise: "Did you have another fortunate encounter last night? Why are you suddenly so much more composed, and brimming with sharpness!"
