Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 199 Kamishiro Chizuru
“Because there was only one door open in this room, I guessed that you might have been invited to a special room.” The disguised Chizuru Kamishiro stood in front of Li Zheng with a respectful posture.

Her tattered clothes had been replaced with a clean pink and white kimono, and her exposed face and hands had been initially treated, with most of the bruises and bloodstains disappearing.

The most outrageous thing is that this woman even wore light makeup and looked quite pleasing to the eye after her careful dressing up.

No wonder that player with the red name instinctively tried to take her with him when he fled.

This appearance certainly has its alluring qualities.

In particular, Li Zheng had seen the other person's physique before, and in a word—it was amazing.

"..."

Li Zheng paused briefly, then emphasized, "My question is, why did you come with me?"

Chizuru Kamishiro knelt down in the standard dogeza posture, folding her hands over her waist, her forehead resting between the ground and her body: "Of course, it's to thank you for saving my life, sir."

"???"

Li Zheng stepped aside and said, "Okay, you've already thanked me. Let's go."

Unmoved, Chizuru remained prostrate on the ground: "I have no way to repay your life-saving grace. Chizuru can only follow you, sir, and serve you like a slave..."

"You want to eat shit?"

Li Zheng rolled his eyes and interrupted the other person: "You call it repaying a debt of gratitude, but aren't you just trying to curry favor with me because you think I'm stronger?"

He waved his hand impatiently and said, "Get out of here, I don't keep idlers here."

Chizuru looked up at Li Zheng with sincere eyes: "Chizuru will never be idle. You can entrust Chizuru with tasks such as serving tea and water, washing clothes and folding blankets, tidying up the living quarters, and preparing three meals a day."

"If you are still not satisfied, sir, Chizuru is quite beautiful. If you feel lonely at night, Chizuru is willing to warm your bed."

Her words almost made Li Zheng laugh.

With these conditions, do you really need to lift a finger?
Doing laundry, folding blankets, tidying up the house?

Wouldn't it be better to just use a perfectly good household-care smart humanoid?
You can mold its appearance however you like; if you want, you can easily create an intelligent humanoid that is ten times more beautiful than you.

And they don't even need to eat.

However, Li Zheng discerned another meaning from her words.

He asked with interest, "I asked you before if you wanted to kill that guy, and you refused."

Looking back now, you weren't actually being held hostage by him, but rather you willingly became his vassal, weren't you?

“Sir, you are wise, that is indeed the case,” said Chizuru Kamishiro. “The poison that Chizuru suffered from was actually caused by the creature in that room, not by Noda-kun.”

Upon hearing this, Li Zheng squatted down, his gaze able to penetrate the collar of the other person's kimono.

It's clear that Chizuru Kamishiro had gone to great lengths to clean herself up before coming to Li Zheng in order to increase her leverage.

Faced with such a sensual scene, Li Zheng remained completely unmoved. He even used his fingers to pull the other person's collar closed, blocking his view.

"Then how do you explain the teeth marks on your body?"

Chizuru Kamishiro blushed slightly: "That is indeed Noda-kun's hobby."

"Why bother?"

Li Zheng dropped his teasing tone: "Why would a perfectly good person demean themselves like this?"

"fear death!"

Chizuru Kamishiro blurted out, "Because I'm afraid of dying! I don't want to die! I want to live!"

A pleading look appeared on her face: "I'll do anything as long as you're willing to take me in!"

Li Zheng changed the subject, asking, "You should be able to tell that I'm not from your Nihong Kingdom at all, right?"

Chizuru Kamishiro hesitated for a moment, seemingly not understanding why Li Zheng asked that question.

"hehe."

Li Zheng pointed to Xiaoying behind him and said, "Um, my pet, do you see who it belongs to?"

"I saw it." "That's good." Li Zheng smiled: "I have no grudge against you, why are you treating me like a fool?"

"Qianhe doesn't understand what Mr. Li means by that."

"Now that things have come to this, it's really pointless for you to keep pretending to be stupid." Li Zheng stood up and said, "Actually, you already knew my identity from the beginning, didn't you?"

Knowing who I am, you still come running over here to fawn over me. Do you think I'd believe you?

I'm too lazy to ask who ordered you to do this. Anyway, since you're not a red-named player, I won't kill you.

Turning around, Li Zheng waved for Xiaoying to follow, and walked towards the nearest metal door without looking back, saying, "Try to be more natural when acting in the future, especially with your lines!"
Yang Tianbao reading numbers sounds better than your awkward, classical Chinese.

Reaching the door, Li Zheng pulled out a mysterious declaration, altered the environment behind the door, opened it, and left.

Watching Li Zheng leave, Chizuru Kamishiro stood up and sent a private message: "My lord, I failed."

"Well, it's normal for someone who's ranked number one on the channel's power leaderboard to see through you."

Chizuru Kamishiro: "What you promised before?"

"I'll rent this prop to you once. Go find Yagyu Jubei and become her subordinate from now on."

Chizuru Kamishiro took out the item that the other party had rented, and said gratefully, "Thank you so much, sir!"

She rubbed the item together with her hands, opened a portal, and Chizuru Kamishiro stepped inside.

At the same time, multiple rooms on Channel 24 simultaneously activated their "space jump devices" and fled.

Kato Junkazu, ranked eighth on the power ranking, was also among them: "This channel can only be used once a month, so it's basically useless. It's a pity I couldn't find that special room before I left. I wonder who will benefit from it."

The special room mentioned here is not a dungeon.

However, even Junkazu Kato didn't know exactly what type of room it was.

All he knew was that someone from another channel had entered a certain place, emerged completely transformed, and jumped to become one of the top three in that channel's combat power rankings.

……

……

Li Zheng entered the room and just happened to see the back of the previous player leaving, so it was like "passing by".

Although it was just a fleeting glimpse, Li Zheng could see that the other party had no blood aura, and the attribute panel provided by Lao Pu did not indicate that the other party was a red name.

Therefore, Li Zheng did not pursue them.

The room was small, less than 100 square meters in area, with some metal fragments scattered on the floor, indicating that the equipment had been dismantled.

Li Zheng watched this scene with a slight headache: "So players in other channels also know about the feature that disassembling equipment allows for dismantling?"

It's unclear whether this method originated from 879 or was discovered by the other party themselves.

After putting away the mysterious declaration, Li Zheng glanced at the metal door opened by a player in front of him, and the information detected by Lao Pu immediately came to mind.

There's a platinum-level creature behind the door; it's quite threatening. The previous player was still at the warm level. Going in will get you a free identity card.

Li Zheng: "..."

Good guy!
How dark must this person's face be?
Looking at the other metal doors, the tallest ones only have two silver-level creatures, posing no threat whatsoever.

There were even two empty rooms...

Without a doubt, Platinum Bioroom became Li Zheng's first choice.

Before that, Li Zhengxian took the heart's blood from the berserk demon and successfully gained the ability to transform.

Having gained another diamond-level gene ability, Li Zheng's gene force limit has reached 340 points!
When the Force is at full strength, the Power Demon Avatar is activated, which lasts for thirty seconds.

The extra forty points allow for several additional activations of the Ice and Fire Attachment.

P.S. I'm really exasperated with my math skills; I initially calculated it to be a one-minute duration, ugh...
