Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day-Chapter 885 - 628: Aftereffects of Anemia (3)

At least he can't feel it.

If one day he can feel Mirel is serious about him, he wouldn't mind confirming a relationship with her and letting something happen between them.

Just not now.

"Although the thing is good, it's temporarily not needed, it's like wasting a Treasure Chest." Li Zheng put away the Yin Yang Potion again, and stared at the ceiling in a daze.

Gradually, drowsiness surged, and he fell into a deep sleep.

In the second half of the night, Li Zheng dreamed that he fell into the ocean, waves crashing violently over him, making it hard for him to breathe.

'Demon Thunder Wings!'

Instinctively, he tried to use his Ability to fly, but suddenly he woke up, finding himself still lying on the bed.

Thunder Wings spread from his back instantly, piercing through the bed beneath him, and Li Zheng fell through the hole, someone nearby cried out in surprise: "Why are you awake?"

Li Zheng crawled out from under the bed, face full of fury: "I should be asking you, why aren't you sleeping in the middle of the night and what are you doing here?"

Mirel poked her head from behind him, giggling: "What do you think?"

Li Zheng frowned, their heads close, he smelled the scent of hawthorn from Mirel's breath and was instantly startled: "Are you serious?"

Mirel hugged him from behind, her fingers wandering: "What else?"

Li Zheng looked up angrily: "You won't regret it!?"

"Hehe, never heard of anyone from the Enchanting Demon Race regretting such things." Mirel gently patted Li Zheng's head twice: "Besides, I already know your unspeakable secrets, not afraid you won't yield!"

Li Zheng lifted his head higher, took out the Yin Yang Potion and took a sip: "You're finished!"

...

In the Central Space, on the supercomputers where terminals store consciousness, strings of data flashed across electronic screens:

Port B trying to establish a link with Port A...

Port B sending a link request to Port A...

Port A accepts the request, successfully establishing a link with Port B...

...

The next day, Li Zheng woke from his sleep, feeling dizzy as he got up, seeing bursts of darkness before his eyes.

"Today, I need to buy more supplements, anemia's aftereffects are quite serious." Li Zheng sighed, holding his forehead, getting off the eggshell bed, and tidying up the broken bed from the night, before releasing the stove to prepare breakfast.

Mirel turned over, poked her head out, got off, legs weak, gasped coldly, forehead sweating: "I'm finished, I seem to be injured."

Li Zheng didn't turn his head: "A 60mm diameter bolt forcibly going into a 30mm nut, the nut surely can't take it. I'll make breakfast today, you rest well."

Mirel sat back on the bed, complained: "Wasn't the Yin Yang Potion supposed to heal injuries? Why didn't it work for me?"

"Because the Yin Yang Potion had already worked before you got injured, restoring my status." Li Zheng said while washing hands and kneading dough: "Yesterday, the Black Dragon Spear drained all my blood, it's completely replenished now, just my waist feels sore, might be anemia's aftereffects."

"Can anemia aftereffects cause a sore waist?" Mirel tilted her head.

"Probably..." Li Zheng thought for a moment, said: "Earlier when I got up, my vision went dark briefly, isn't that just anemia's aftereffects?"

"Oh..." Mirel nodded, after a while she asked: "Do you have anything to do today?" 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

...

Li Zheng paused his movements, turned back to meet Mirel's hopeful eyes, feeling his waist aching more, hurriedly said: "Yes, I'm preparing to find someone to buy an Outer City resident identity and replace our subordinate contract. This kind of thing can be handled by someone in Outer City, better not bother the Terminal."

"I see..." Mirel's expression showed disappointment, then she said: "I've got good news, I've improved my strength again. But there's also bad news, I've hit a bottleneck, and my Spiritual Power can't continue to increase."

"Hmm, I noticed." Li Zheng rolled out the kneaded dough, sliced it into thin strips, added salt to boiling water, stirred and added some vegetables and meat slices.

Three minutes later, two bowls of fragrant hand-pulled noodles were ready.

Taking a bowl to Mirel, Li Zheng sat beside her eating and said: "After I finish getting you an Outer City resident identity, I'll come back to guide you on how to condense nodes. This is a method for further enhancing Spiritual Power, researched by Xuy through countless ages, he taught me when he infused all his Spiritual Power into me."

"So… he did one good thing before he died?" Mirel ate a bite of hand-pulled noodles, squinting happily.

"A good deed?" Li Zheng shook his head thoughtfully: "He was the malicious thought separated from the original body, I don't think he did such a thing out of kindness, and every time I think of him, I feel uneasy, always thinking that he's not dead yet, and I'll see him again someday."

Mirel sighed with a complicated expression: "Before, he really worked hard to help us enhance Spiritual Power, couldn't have guessed he was a malicious thought, I always treated him as a teacher."

Indeed, when Li Zheng first interacted with Xuy, he thought the same.

And Xuy's actions really showed no hint of malice.

"The reason he helped us enhance Spiritual Power was just that our foundation was too low, hastily accepting his Spiritual Power infusion, could easily collapse." Li Zheng said: "I suspect he gathered that immense Spiritual Power in the Dark Realm to one day escape, but later found his Spiritual Power was too strong, instead dragging him down, preventing him from leaving."

Mirel thought: "Where do you think Xuy would go after leaving the Dark Realm? And through what means did he leave the Dark Realm?"

"I don't know either." Li Zheng smiled wryly.

This is also a question that puzzled Li Zheng, because he never discovered when or how Xuy left.

The only thing certain is that Xuy's means of leaving the Dark Realm were definitely not through the Lamp Carrier's Mark, otherwise he wouldn't have waited until now.

After all, the Lamp Carrier's Mark had many owners before, if he wanted to leave, he could have left anytime.

If he didn't leave, there's only one possibility, he couldn't escape the Dark Realm through the Lamp Carrier's Mark.
