Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 114 Genetic Ability: Thousand Blade Wind

"Let's keep this drawing for now. We can learn it when we need it someday, and it'll save the computer some energy."

After carefully putting away the blueprints, Li Zheng took a short break, reviewed his day's gains, and finally placed a few items on the metal floor.

First, Li Zheng gave both of Kenta's heart kernels to Xiaoying, letting her gnaw on them like preserved plums.

"Hey."

The little guy was quite decisive. As a pet with an "ambitious" personality, it would accept any item that could significantly enhance its strength. It would eat whatever Li Zheng gave it.

Click, click.

With a few crisp sounds, a core was swallowed into its belly, and a strong wind suddenly arose around the little guy, sweeping it up.

[Sakura, a pet in the game, is developing genetic abilities after consuming "Kentay Beef Heart Core"...]

[Sakura's personality "Aspiring" has been triggered, currently being assessed...]

【Judgment successful.】

Then comes a waiting period.

Li Zheng didn't sit idle either, and picked up the liver of the land-dwelling fish.

"This stuff can boost immunity and make you less likely to get sick. Let's save it for Sakura's snack later."

Setting it aside, Li Zheng turned his gaze to the last item, the "deep-sea fruit," and felt a headache coming on.

"This thing is guaranteed to awaken a gold-level gene ability, it's definitely a good thing, but it's the taste..."

Just thinking about the smell of that foul liquid made Li Zheng's teeth ache.

For most people, this means they vomited too much, causing the stomach acid to corrode their teeth and damage the dental nerves.

But given Li Zheng's current physical condition...

That's purely a psychological effect.

"Forget it, even the best things need to be used while you're alive. I'm afraid I'll rot to death if I eat them." After much struggle, Li Zheng finally decided to sell them!
"However, we can't just sell them indiscriminately. It's best to prioritize the teammates in the dungeon exploration team for these kinds of items."

Well, Lao Xiao's combat power is too low; even with a pocket watch by his side, he's not very reliable.

"Let's just take the loss this time and sell it to him cheaply."

Upon opening the private chat interface, Li Zheng first sent a message to Li Chun, wanting to see if the other party had regained consciousness.

However, the matrix system still indicated that the other party was resting.

"Could something really have happened?"

Frowning, Li Zheng decided to wait until after the deep-sea fruit transaction to go out and try his luck to see if he could find her.

"Old Xiao, do you want the tools to develop your gene abilities?"

100% developed, safe and without side effects.

"If you want it, just say the word and I'll send it to you right away."

Less than three seconds after the private message was sent, Xiao Siyuan replied with a string of ellipses.

"...Your joke is so lame! I don't even want to take this joke. Send me your stats first?"

Li Zheng sent over the properties of the deep-sea fruit.

"Holy crap! Are you the Matrix Terminal's favorite child? A gold-level tool that can fully develop genetic abilities!?"

Xiao Siyuan was clearly stunned, and it took him a while to reply again: "I don't have anything good either, I'll trade you two gold-grade dynamic cores."

"We're all friends, just give me one."

Li Zheng stroked his chin and offered to lower the price.

It wasn't that he was crazy; he was mainly afraid that Xiao Siyuan would come after him after eating the deep-sea fruit.

We're all acquaintances, so should I retaliate or retaliate?
In terms of combat power, even if Xiao Siyuan develops genetic abilities, he is definitely no match for him.

But we'll be working together on dungeons in the future, and we'll run into each other all the time. It would be embarrassing for someone in their thirties to be bullied by a guy in his twenties.

Li Zheng felt that he was too understanding.

On the other side, Xiao Siyuan was completely bewildered.

He's seen people who charge exorbitant prices for things, and he's also seen people who haggle over the price after receiving their purchases.

This was the first time he had ever seen someone proactively lower prices when selling something.

However, no normal person would refuse a price cut of half.

"OK! Name your name."

The transaction was completed swiftly and efficiently.

Deep Sea Fruit - 1
Gold-level dynamic core +1
"Well, just a heads up, this stuff doesn't taste very good, so be prepared."

After thinking it over, Li Zheng took the initiative to remind Xiao Siyuan to briefly explain the "side effects" of the deep-sea fruit.

"Stinky? How stinky can it be?" Xiao Siyuan didn't take it seriously and replied, "How stinky can it be as stinky as canned herring? I bought a can out of curiosity back then, and I finished it off with two bowls of white rice."

Seeing this, Li Zheng said no more: "Then I wish you good luck."

canned herring?

Li Zheng sneered, "That stuff doesn't even smell a fraction as good as the black stinky liquid! Anyone who's ever smelled the stinky liquid will just exclaim, 'Damn, it smells so good!' and then gobble down ten cans of herring."

Having finished everything, Li Zheng looked at Xiao Ying; it would take another fifteen minutes to finish.

So he took out some ginseng flowers and the heart of the ghost lion, heated the ones that needed heating, and put the ones that needed putting away properly.

By the time they finished preparing dinner, Sakura's genetic abilities had been fully developed.

[Sakura successfully develops her genetic ability: Thousand Blade Wind]

Thousand Blade Wind

Silver

Type: Element manipulation

Lv1
exp: 0/100
Active effect: Gathers wind elemental energy to form a strangling blade around the user, attacking any unit that enters the range.

Current number of Wind Blades: 3
Cost: 5 Wind Blades/minute

At the same time, Sakura's original 20 points of genetic energy surged to 80 points.

"Hmm, looks good." Li Zheng nodded in satisfaction; the little guy was finally starting to become powerful.

At least ordinary bronze-level creatures can no longer defeat Sakura, and if she has her own support, she can even challenge some slightly weaker silver-level creatures.

The reason why Sakura is so weak despite having a bunch of abilities is mainly because she is currently in her growth stage, which weakens her abilities to some extent.

It can only unleash its full potential when it reaches full maturity.

"Hey!"

Sakura was very excited to have become a little stronger, and she opened her mouth and swallowed the other core as well.

The level of the Thousand Blade Windstorm increases by 1 to reach level 2, and the maximum level of Wind Blades also increases from 3 to 5.

Correspondingly, the attack power of the wind blades has also been slightly enhanced.

"Come on, try out this new ability."

As he spoke, Li Zheng took a piece of fresh beef from Kenta and threw it over.

"嘤嘤!"

Sakura stared at the handsome young man with her small eyes, secretly activating her abilities.

next second.

"Whoosh whoosh."

Five invisible and colorless wind blades formed, spinning rapidly around Sakura and making a cutting sound as they cut through the air.

Immediately afterwards, the fresh meat entered the area sealed off by the wind blades and suddenly split into two pieces.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

In just four seconds, the fresh meat tumbled around in front of Sakura without touching the ground.

Each flip throws out a small piece of meat.

Until Sakura stopped the whirlwind of blades, the remaining fresh meat fell to the ground and was smashed into minced meat.

"Hey!"

The little guy held his head high and chest out, looking very proud and self-satisfied.

Look at Sakura, how amazing she is!

Quick, give me some praise!
"Haha."

Li Zheng was amused by its little expressions and gave it a perfunctory compliment: "Impressive, impressive. Hurry up and eat dinner, we still have to set off in a bit."

Li Zheng placed the heated Ghost Lion's Heart in front of Sakura, while he continued to chew on the ginseng flower, savoring its milky aroma with floral notes.

"Oh, right."

With a sudden realization, Li Zheng remembered his earlier promise and took out two cups from his residence (the tea set stored in the room where he first obtained the lantern; one cup had been broken, leaving three). He poured the stalactite into the cups.

With the Zhongshi Milk, Li Zheng put away the remaining ginseng flowers and took out a honey fruit instead. Paired with the rich, milky Zhongshi Milk, the sweet honeydew melon flavor was even better.

……

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Li Zheng let Xiao Ying stand back on his shoulder, and then took out the "Mysterious Declaration".

The moment the blood-red lantern appeared in his hand, the metal doors in the room, which originally had different information, all changed to "There is a player behind this door".

"I hope I can find Li Chun in ten chances."

With a slight sense of unease, Li Zheng casually opened a door and went inside.

The moment he stepped inside.

nightfall.

Come.

Several days later, I finally received another tip.

Thank you to "天意可逆否" for the 500-point reward!
