Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day-Chapter 876 - 625:

Mirel was actually worried about directly reaching adulthood by absorbing her first wave, since the queen would definitely find a way to remove the negative effects left in her body upon her return.

And the method to remove these negative effects is simple yet crude: find a male partner to unite with her, allowing all the emotions associated with her first wave to be vented through this process.

It's true Mirel reversed the emotions of her first wave upon adulthood, but she underestimated the impact of having two such waves. Although it seemed to weaken the effects on herself, in reality, she merely transferred those emotions onto another target.

She would still be affected to some extent, occasionally unable to control her emotions.

In just a few hours of her adulthood, her lower garment had been soaked multiple times.

"Let me think about it." Mirel said softly.

"No worries, we have plenty of time, you can take your time considering." Li Zheng looked around, noticing that the room didn't have enough space to set up a stove, so he had to remove the bed he was sitting on first and then set up the stove.

Mirel saw the stove and stood up willingly to prepare dinner.

Li Zheng took out ingredients and seasonings from the capsule and placed them to the side, watching her work.

After reaching adulthood, Mirel was over 1.75 meters tall, no longer needing anything to stand on when using the stove. However, she needed a moment to adapt to using the stove now that her height had changed.

Soon enough, she handled all the kitchenware skillfully, and she looked so beautiful that even cooking was a delightful sight.

Tap, tap, tap...

Mirel wielded the knife expertly, slicing vegetables skillfully, and casually said to Li Zheng standing beside her: "I heard you talking to the Terminal just now."

"Hmm." Li Zheng made a sound from his nose.

He didn't intentionally avoid Mirel while talking to the Terminal about the Treasure Chest System.

"Actually, I knew about the treasure acquisition channel you have a long time ago." Mirel continued: "I realized this within a few days of following you, but I never mentioned it."

"Hmm." Li Zheng nodded, seemingly not surprised at all, even though he avoided Mirel every time he extracted a Treasure Chest, unaware of how she discovered it. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"I admit I initially had thoughts of taking it for myself. My mother's task for me was to leave after reaching the Outer City, but I stayed because I wanted to take that channel from you." Mirel placed the sliced vegetables into a basket beside her, picked up a piece of frozen meat, and handed it to Li Zheng to defrost.

As long as the Fire Attachment was controlled well, defrosting some meat wasn't difficult. Li Zheng quickly handed the defrosted meat back.

Mirel accepted it, placed it on the cutting board, and sliced it into the desired shape: "But after that, when I gave you my spiritual power, I realized that such things were hopeless. To avoid any misunderstanding, I consciously found a place to rest every evening when it was time."

"Hmm... hmm?" Li Zheng looked up at her. It was true that these days Mirel had avoided him once night fell, turns out it was to avoid suspicion?

"Hehe." Mirel chuckled cunningly: "After all, this involves your greatest secret. If I'm not a little careful, I'm afraid you might silence me."

"Hehe." Li Zheng imitated Mirel's expression, chuckling cunningly as well: "Aren't you afraid that I talked to the Terminal about this openly as a plan to silence you?"

"I'm not afraid!" Mirel puffed up her chest, causing a wave of surging motion: "You definitely can't bear to do it now!"

Li Zheng felt dizzy and shifted his gaze: "Maybe you still don't know me well enough. There have been many women who died at my hands, some in better shape than you."

"It's different." Mirel said confidently: "Those you killed were your enemies, and I'm not. I'm loyal enough to you!"

Li Zheng turned back, squinting, releasing a chilling aura for a moment: "You just said earlier you wanted to steal the system from me, and now you say you're loyal? Is this what you call loyalty?"

Mirel's smile froze: "That was in the past..."

"But there's no guarantee you won't have second thoughts in the future." Li Zheng nodded thoughtfully: "Seems I should still silence you!"

Mirel paused her cooking: "Then should I still finish this dish?"

Li Zheng glanced at the pot, then at Mirel, and then at the pot again, swallowing: "Then let's wait until you finish the dish before I silence you!"

Understanding that Li Zheng was joking, Mirel continued to cook, but cold sweat ran down her back. The killing intent Li Zheng emitted was almost tangible, and for a moment there, she really panicked.

Not long ago, Li Zheng had just killed tens of thousands of people, and under the intense killing aura that had gathered, Mirel even experienced hallucinations, as if she were seeing a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. In that mountain and sea stood a figure dressed all in black armor, black clothes, black shoes, and black hair. The face was indistinct, but as that figure looked up to meet her gaze, those eyes seemed capable of killing!

This wasn't an exaggeration, but Mirel's genuine feeling. When she met those eyes, she almost believed she was about to die!

Fortunately, Li Zheng wasn't serious. Otherwise, Mirel believed she might become the first Enchanting Demon in the Enchanting Demon Race's history to be killed by a gaze.

According to Li Zheng's habit, apart from breakfast, both lunch and dinner consisted of three dishes and a soup. In just over forty minutes, Mirel took the last pot of Dragon Turtle bone soup from the stove.

Putting away the stove, Li Zheng casually laid out a pile of Iron Ingot, which just happened to join together into a makeshift table.

"We gave Mo Li our table, so we'll have to make do with this."

Lately, Li Zheng hadn't had any free time. After gifting the table and chairs to Mo Li, he hadn't yet replaced them, so he'd have to wait until they finished dinner to buy a new set.

Sitting across from Mirel, just as he picked up his chopsticks, Mirel suddenly said: "Can I still sleep with you tonight?"

"No way!" Li Zheng flatly refused: "In your current state..."

"You're afraid you won't be able to control yourself?" Mirel asked with a smile in her eyes.

"No!" Li Zheng replied seriously: "In your current state, you take up too much space, we can't fit on a single bed!"

"..." Mirel rolled her eyes with a charmingly playful gesture.
