Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day-Chapter 896 - 635: Terminal: "How Did I End Up Cloning Something Like You?

In the following days, time flew by quickly.

Li Zheng accompanied Mirel for shopping during the day, visiting all the shops in the seventh district, and eventually chose to stay in a martial arts dojo, where he would come for sparring whenever he had free time.

Although he spent quite a few crystal coins, Li Zheng's techniques in close combat were becoming more mature. However, the power of the Heaven and Earth Slash was too great, and even using the special weapons provided by the dojo, there was still a possibility of accidentally killing someone, so he rarely used this move.

Aside from Swordsmanship, he reviewed other martial arts techniques from scratch during this process, and became increasingly adept at switching between different techniques and weapons.

Mirel wasn't idle either; her proficiency in Myriad Whips Return to the Root increased significantly, allowing for free transition of attacks among three thousand whip shadows, but the power still needed enhancement.

Two days later, Zhan Zhouzhou returned from Matrix, bringing good news for Li Zheng.

The Outer City pass originally belonging to Phoenix Mountain, Yan Guang, and Lin Fengjiao was returned, and after a meeting between the heads of the Starting Point, Kunlun, and Nine Heavens legions, it was decided that each legion would send one person to enter the Outer City in advance.

Starting Point Legion chose Lu Li, as Phoenix Mountain was considered in the highest echelon of Starting Point Legion's combat power and needed to stay and help in Matrix, so they chose this guy.

Kunlun sent Ma Long, and Nine Heavens sent Qian Duoduo.

The three had successfully arrived in the fourth district to adapt to Outer City life in advance.

"Even though Lu Li is unreliable when he's having an episode, as long as he's not, he's fairly dependable. Old Xiao and the others made a good choice by sending him in," Li Zheng had no objections to this. "The Lamp Holder transformation hasn't been completed yet, so I have to stay here. You go to the fourth district for me. It's been cleared by the Terminal, so the shops are probably vacant. Try to secure one, it might be useful later."

"Securing a shop requires quite a bit of money. Do you guys have it?"

The two were discussing in the blacksmith shop. Zi Yuan, sitting behind the counter not far from them, couldn't help but interject.

"We can pool it together, it should be enough," Li Zheng said.

Li Zheng had inquired about it. If they opened a shop at the minimum standard, the registration capital required was only one thousand red crystal coins, which wasn't far off from all the assets he and Zhan Zhouzhou had together.

They just needed to sell some enhanced intermediate cultivation liquid from a botanical garden to make up for the shortfall, which wouldn't be difficult.

Moreover, the residents in the fourth district would be Water Blue Star players, with relatively low starting points, so their initial needs would be easy to meet, and the shop wouldn't need to be large at first.

As things developed later, they could gradually expand.

"The Terminal usually leaves a one-month window for the development of new players," Zi Yuan said after a pause. "During this month, no other races besides your new player race can apply for shop operating rights there. I'll propose to my teacher that if there are still vacant shops one month after the Water Blue Star players have moved into the Outer City, we'll go there to open a branch store."

"That would be wonderful!" Li Zheng's eyes lit up, and he had an idea. "Actually, we don't need to wait that long. As long as the blacksmith shop is willing to open a branch there, I can help secure a shop first. The registration capital, however, needs to be covered by the blacksmith shop."

This was equivalent to Li Zheng registering a company under the name of the blacksmith shop, and once the policy relaxed, transferring the legal representative back to the blacksmith shop to get a head start.

"Fine!"

Spiritual power emanated from the back of the blacksmith shop, condensing into a single word in everyone's ears.

Li Zheng was moved: "I always sensed that the blacksmith's spiritual power was strong, but I never realized it was powerful enough to achieve mental sound!"

This required extremely high spiritual power reserves and control. Anything less would not achieve such precision. Currently, Li Zheng only knew of the blacksmith who could do this besides himself.

Zi Yuan showed a subtle change in expression, making a listening gesture, clearly hearing more than just a word.

After a moment, he stood up and said, "The teacher has agreed to the branch store proposal and asked me to transfer the registration capital to you to secure a shop first."

Saying this, he took out an inscription card, preparing to transfer funds.

Li Zheng was surprised, "Doesn't the blacksmith master worry about us taking the money for ourselves?"

"The teacher said," Zi Yuan laughed heartily, "If you guys were greedy for such a small amount of money, it would indicate the low quality of this batch of Water Blue Star players. If that happened, Water Blue Star players would be blacklisted from the blacksmith shop, and could never purchase any items from it again in the future."

Li Zheng laughed and praised, "The blacksmith master is really bold! In that case, we will not fail to live up to the trust. Zhouzhou, take the money."

He couldn't leave, so he had to let Zhan Zhouzhou handle this matter.

"Alright." Zhan Zhouzhou nodded and went to accept the transfer. Seeing the amount Zi Yuan transferred, her beautiful eyes immediately widened: "A hundred thousand red crystal coins?!"

Zi Yuan said reservedly, "The Water Blue Star race is just starting, so high-end weapons and equipment are not needed either, and they can't afford them. So just register a small-scale shop and sell some low-tier equipment."

With 100,000 red crystal coins as registration capital, the scale of the shop opened was still called small?

Li Zheng immediately felt his nose turning sour. Thinking about their budget of just 1,000 red crystal coins, it seemed incredibly meager.

The difference between the two shops was akin to comparing a kiosk to a supermarket... no comparison at all!

"By the way," Zi Yuan asked curiously, "what type of shop do you plan to open?"
