Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 306 The Administrator's Identity is Instantly Exposed

"The mere fact that two opposing factions appear in the dungeon is strange enough," Xiao Siyuan said. "Have you considered an even stranger possibility?"

"What's possible?" Li Zheng asked.

The suturing was nearing completion, and Xiao Siyuan only needed to do a few final, simple treatments, so he wasn't as focused as before.

"You mentioned before that when the last three Kron were killed, the two robots looked at the corpses and seemed very sad." Xiao Siyuan condensed some black water to clean the stitched-up wounds and said, "Before that, you killed several Kron, so why didn't they seem sad then?"

"Didn't I say? Those last two might just be their former owners."

Xiao Siyuan looked up and asked, "If the technology to make this kind of robot existed on Earth, would you buy a robot that carries a plasma cannon?"

In particular, the power of this plasma cannon is so great that it can blast through concrete buildings and kill a few ordinary carbon-based life forms with ease.

"What's the big deal?" Li Zheng said dismissively. "It's just like the mentality of those who keep large dogs. Tibetan Mastiffs are just as dangerous, but people still like to keep one as a pet, don't they?"

It's strange how people are. Tibetan mastiffs are animals that can fight tigers and lions, but some people are so scared when they see wild lions and tigers that they lose control of their bladder and bowels, but when they see a Tibetan mastiff, they are not afraid at all.

In terms of danger level, Tibetan mastiffs should be considered to be on the same level as lions and tigers.

Some people may think that Tibetan mastiffs are dogs that can be tamed, so many people are not afraid of them.

These people must have seen the hardcore pets kept by Middle Eastern tycoons before...

The most terrifying thing is having the idea that "what can be tamed is safe".

To put it simply... among functional dogs such as police dogs and military dogs, the number of Aoquan dogs is extremely small.

There are numerous news reports of Tibetan mastiffs killing and devouring their owners; doesn't that speak volumes?
So, human nature is to court death.

If it weren't for the explicit ban in China, some people would dare to keep anything as a pet.

“What you said makes some sense,” Xiao Siyuan nodded slightly. “But this kind of robot was obviously made as a war machine and cannot be compared with Tibetan mastiffs.”

Indeed, the Crimson Robot, in terms of both its structure and other aspects, should be classified as a "weapon" and cannot be defined as a "pet".

"Then tell me, what is this so-called strange possibility?" Li Zheng became interested.

Xiao Siyuan took out a bandage and wrapped it around the stitched wound, saying in a low voice, "Perhaps... the cyborgs are the real Kron race?"

Li Zheng's expression changed slightly: "You mean..."

“How can a low-level robot that can’t even break through the Blood Qi Armor have such high intelligence and be able to communicate with people?” Xiao Siyuan cut the bandage and buried the cut under the already wrapped bandage with a special technique. “I suspect that the dungeon you went to this time may be a world where consciousness has been swapped, and the consciousness inside the robot is actually that of the real Kron race.”

Exchange consciousness!

Li Zheng suddenly remembered the tattered poster. Could it be an advertisement promoting the exchange of consciousness?

"If we follow your line of reasoning, then the emotion the robots ultimately expressed wasn't simply sadness." After Xiao Siyuan mentioned it, Li Zhengcai felt that the two robots' emotions at the time were more of remembrance than sadness.

The two Kron members who were killed were actually their bodies before their consciousness was transferred. Naturally, they felt bad watching their former bodies being "killed".

Li Zheng thought to himself, if someone were to dismember his body in front of him, he would instinctively want to stop them...

"So you need to be careful. I suspect those two robots are submitting to you, but they have ulterior motives." Xiao Siyuan fetched some water to wash his hands, which was his habit and also part of his professional ethics.

"You're right, I'll keep an eye out." Li Zheng didn't think Xiao Siyuan's reminder was just being paranoid; it's always good to be extra careful.

After the injury was treated, although it still hurt a lot, I felt much more at ease.

Old Xiao's medical skills are still very trustworthy; he has treated injuries far more serious than this. Xiao Siyuan washed his hands repeatedly and instructed, "Your self-healing ability is very strong. You should be fully recovered in about three hours. During this time, don't let the wound get wet, and try not to engage in strenuous exercise to minimize the risk of infection."

Given Li Zheng's current physical condition, common wound infections are not a problem for him at all.

But this isn't Earth, after all, and Xiao Siyuan only asked Li Zheng to be extra careful to be on the safe side.

“I understand. Anyway, my exploration for today is over. If nothing unexpected happens, there shouldn’t be any strenuous activity tonight.” Li Zheng tried to take a few steps, limping.

"Xiaoying's wing is also a little injured. I called her in, and you can help take care of it while you're at it." Li Zheng had been keeping the little guy's situation in mind, and now was the perfect time to bring it up.

“Sure, I can help you out.” Xiao Siyuan glanced at him. “Put your pants on before you go out. Lin Fengjiao is a girl, after all, so we should be careful.”

“…Damn it!” Li Zheng looked down and was embarrassed. He had been in such a hurry to get down that he had forgotten about this.

After putting on his pants, Li Zheng went out and called Xiao Ying in, asking Xiao Siyuan to help with the treatment.

He walked to the fire, and Lin Fengjiao actually brewed him a pot of tea and waited for him to come out.

After sitting down, Li Zheng glanced at the robots that had been following him when he left. He had a feeling that these two things were watching his neck intentionally or unintentionally, and might break it at any time.

If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to keep them both so he could get some information from the translation tools later, he would have wanted to strike first and nip the danger in the bud.

The two blood-red robots never imagined that their newly chosen master would now be plotting to kill them.

"Why do you look so troubled, Brother Li?" Lin Fengjiao handed over an exquisite cup, the tea inside emitting a refreshing aroma.

"Oh, it's nothing, just some trivial matters." Li Zheng concealed his emotions, took a sip of tea, and then his eyes suddenly lit up.

The tea was rich in aroma, with a hint of floral scent after the rain, which lingered in his throat, leaving a lingering aftertaste.

"This tea is quite good. Where did it come from?" Li Zheng looked at the cup, and Lao Pu gave the name of the tea.

[Rain Stops]

"I grew it myself and cooked it myself. If Brother Li likes it, I have some more here to take with me later." Lin Fengjiao's voice was still hoarse and unpleasant, but she couldn't hide the joy in her tone.

"I didn't know you had this skill." Li Zheng remembered that Lao Xiao had bought two petri dishes from him before, and Lin Fengjiao's one must have been used to grow tea.

"I was just lucky. I got a tea tree before, but it wasn't of high quality, only bronze grade. Apart from the taste being okay, it didn't offer any benefits. It can't compare to Brother Li's cooking." Lin Fengjiao added some more tea for him.

"Ahem... The biggest advantage is that it tastes good." Li Zheng coughed lightly to cover up his embarrassment. The dish he served was thanks to the stove, and had nothing to do with his cooking skills.

No one else knew about this, and Lin Fengjiao also thought that Li Zheng was a very good cook: "Brother Li's cooking is also very delicious. And he always manages to create some surprises. This time, he has even become the administrator of Channel 879."

"My cooking is just so-so... huh?" Li Zheng was embarrassed at first, then surprised. "How did you know I became a manager?"

After I came here, it seems like I haven't mentioned it at all, right?
"Hehe, Brother Li hasn't watched the regional channel since he came back, has he?" Lin Fengjiao covered her mouth and laughed. "It's almost in an uproar on there."

Regional channel?

When Li Zheng teleported back, the regional channel naturally displayed his location information. After opening it, he saw an additional label after the channel number.

[0000879, Administrator: Li Zheng]

At the same time, Li Zheng suddenly saw a name on the combat power ranking that he had almost forgotten.

Not enough money.
