Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 316 The Happy Time is Coming Soon!
Sensing that the danger had receded, Kuro finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the overheated parts gradually cooled down.

Until both wandering monsters had left, Kuro and Is didn't make a sound, for fear of attracting their attention.

Now that everything was completely safe, Kuro suddenly became curious about the maze that Li Zheng had thrown out.

Why did the other party act as if they didn't see the two wandering monsters passing by the intersection, even though I clearly saw them?

With this thought in mind, it walked to the intersection by itself and took a look. Only then did it realize that the intersection, which looked unobstructed from the inside, was actually a wall from the outside!
One of the rules for depicting a real maze is that a maze can have two layers, an inner and an outer layer, but they must be connected to each other.

Li Zheng also spent some time researching before he came up with this simplified version of the double-layered maze.

The outer layer is only half a circle. If you enter from point A and follow the edge, you will definitely exit from point B.

However, in reality, there is a point C in this maze that is optically hidden, located in the middle of A and B.

Point C leads to the inner maze, which is where Li Zheng placed the capsule residence.

Li Zheng hasn't finished drawing this area yet; it only has an entrance and no exit, so according to the maze rules, this should be considered a "dead end."

If a strong enemy breaks through point C, Li Zheng will have no choice but to confront them head-on.

If you can't win, you can use the capsule to fly over the maze and escape quickly.

However, once it comes to escaping, the real maze will definitely be left behind.

Because there are hostile targets inside.

Kuro crossed point C and returned to his original position.

It never expected that such a simple maze setup could fool two terrifying high-level creatures.

Is this what they call "returning to simplicity"?

This is truly terrifying...

Is looked at its electronic eyes strangely, but there was no further emotional feedback. Is was still immersed in the fear from just now, unable to extricate itself.

At one point, when it saw the two creatures appear at the intersection, it almost activated the plasma cannon on its back.

Fortunately, the signal transmission was delayed due to excessive fear, which prevented the attack from being launched.

Otherwise, they would be completely finished by now.

In terms of mentality, Is is not as good as Kuro. After all, before the consciousness transfer, she was still an underage Kron female.

Kuro, according to the age classification on Earth, should be considered to be of the "grandfather" generation of Is, and is quite familiar with Is's ancestors.

Having weathered her first crisis upon arriving in the outside world without serious injury, Yi Si gained a general understanding of the outside world she had always longed for.

It wasn't much safer than that place, but there was a strange sense of security about it.

Two robots from the blood-soaked battlefield spent the entire night on guard duty.

When Li Zheng woke up in the morning, he touched the bridge of his nose, which felt slightly sore, and wondered, "I didn't sleep on my stomach, so why is my nose still numb?"

"Awoo awoo!" Sakura jumped around the bed, urging Li Zheng to get up quickly.

After eight hours of rest and recuperation, the little guy was full of energy, as if he had inexhaustible power.

Li Zheng was so annoyed by the noise that he had to quickly get down and get to work.

Set up the breakfast menu, adjust the portion size, and then let the stove operate automatically to produce the food.

During this time, Li Zheng helped Xiao Ying finish washing up and cleaning.

Breakfast wasn't ready yet, so Sakura opened the door and flew out for a "morning workout" with Pink Poring.

Li Zheng was inspecting the results of the work done by all the intelligent humanoids during the night.

In addition to large quantities of black iron and bronze-grade potions, there are also considerable quantities of various plant products.

Ugly Farmer, as expected of a professional, brought Li Zheng some more pleasant surprises.

Under its careful care, both the "Honey Fruit" and "Ginseng Flower" underwent a mutation, yielding two "Golden Honey Fruits" the size of footballs and five "Frosty White Ginseng Flowers".

Among them, "Frosty White Ginseng Flower" has not only been upgraded by one grade, but also has some medicinal value on the basis of the original ingredients.

After crushing it, apply it to the sore to remove toxins up to the bronze level.

For Li Zheng, this effect was as good as non-existent.

But this also proves that the value of agricultural dolls is much greater than imagined!

Faceless has now become a tool entirely. Its database is connected and shared with Ugly Farmer, and Ugly Farmer will assign it any errands that need to be run. Li Zheng stroked his chin as he looked around, took the Arctic Ibaraki fruit that Ugly Farmer had picked that night, and then took two sets of clothes from the trading hall and placed them in front of Ugly Farmer, who was resting (self-charging).

He knew that Ugly Farmer had some basic thinking skills and knowledge of professional crop care, but he wasn't sure if Ugly Farmer knew the concept of "covering up" and planned to check on it again after it "woke up".

At this moment, breakfast was ready at the stove. Li Zheng went over and took down all the dishes, then designated all the ones he had promised to others to be traded.

Sakura was called back, and after breakfast, one of the most relaxing times of the day came to an end.

Biting into the Arctic Ibaraki fruit, Li Zheng put away the capsule residence and turned around to restore the real maze to its original state.

I took a quick look and found that the maze I drew was slightly different from yesterday's.

Li Zheng zoomed in on the image and examined it closely. He found that a section of the wall appeared to have been scratched by something sharp, leaving several deep marks.

"Left over at night?" He gestured with his hand, indicating that it must have been caused by some kind of spiked object.

Li Zheng looked at Kuro and Isis, who had automatically gone into hibernation due to insufficient energy. These two robots did not seem to have anything similar, so it was not caused by them.

"Could it be a monster that roams around at night?"

With a thought, Li Zheng turned his head to look at the metal doors and sure enough, he saw two doors with red lights on.

At the entrance of one of the doors, there are still several large mud marks, each as big as a washbasin.

Guess what happens here while you're asleep at night?
Two huge surprises at the end!

Guess what the surprise is?

Diamond level is the starting point!

After Lao Pu provided some rather vague results, Li Zheng quickly deduced the situation and got a general idea of ​​what was going on.

Two wandering monsters came at night. Judging from their footprints, they were definitely not small, which is why they were able to leave scratches on the maze walls.

Moreover, almost all nocturnal creatures have enhanced abilities at night, making them far stronger than their peers.

"If the original form is a diamond-level wandering monster, it should be close to transcendent after the amplification, right?" Li Zheng's eyes darkened slightly as he glanced at the robots with surprise.

They must have witnessed everything that night, how come they didn't wake themselves up?

Did they simply stand by and watch?
Or……

Li Zheng checked the robots' attributes and found no signs of damage.

On the contrary, Kuro's loyalty has increased again, reaching 85, which is two points higher than Is.

"eccentric."

Can observing from the sidelines actually increase loyalty?

Li Zheng stroked his chin, unable to figure out the reason.

If you can’t figure it out, don’t think about it.

Anyway, the wandering monster didn't affect me at all, and I didn't suffer any losses, so there's no need to worry about it.

At least now he is certain that the Real Maze is also effective against some high-level monsters.

"From now on, release the maze every night when we rest, and also finish the inner maze quickly to enhance its effect." After throwing the real maze into the capsule, Li Zheng tried to put away the dormant crimson robot as well.

Watching Kuro and Is disappear from sight shows that although they are classified as pets, they are not considered to be living beings.

Lightly equipped, Li Zheng and Xiao Ying began their exploration journey for the day.

……

"No movement from the mechanics?" Qian Bugou asked a member of another team early in the morning and received the answer that everything was normal.

"The lantern isn't with Li Zheng?"

"Or did he guess our goal?"

Not having enough money left me at a loss.

……

In a room on channel 67 that had been explored by players, a bald, burly man covered in a thick aura of blood suddenly emerged.

……
