Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 322 Spatial Stones
In Activity Room 33, Li Zheng and his group sat around, resting and recovering their genetic energy while also tending to their wounds.

Aside from some corrosive marks on his cheeks, Li Zheng's entire body was covered in sharp teeth, causing him constant, dull pain and even a bit of numbness and itching. Now that he was calm, he felt extremely uncomfortable.

Feng Shan's left shoulder was pierced; if Zhan Zhouzhou hadn't acted swiftly, his injury would have been far more severe.

Despite appearing unharmed, Zhan Zhouzhou had actually sustained some minor injuries. While dealing with dozens of bone spikes, she was struck by one of them, which hit her on the back and injured her internal organs.

Lin Fengjiao and Yan Guang were the only two players in the team who had not been injured, as they were far away.

This time, the two of them completely slacked off.

Li Zheng was splashing a bottle of black liquid on himself when he suddenly realized something was wrong.

I got up and looked around, but I couldn't see the thing I had suddenly remembered.

He sat back down and asked, "Xiao Feng, where's your butt?"

“He’s dead!” Feng Shan treated his wounds without looking up.

He had quite a bit of private contact with Xiao Siyuan, learned many simple methods for treating wounds, and even obtained a lot of medical supplies from Xiao.

"Dead?" Li Zheng was a little incredulous. Couldn't Feng Shan and Yan Guang protect a pet?
"That's right, because it was cowardly and disobedient, I stomped it to death!" Fengshan disinfected his shoulder, applied tissue regeneration powder, and wrapped it with bandages.

"How could you be so ruthless?" Li Zheng glanced at the bandages wrapped around Feng Shan's neck, which were crooked and the edges didn't fit properly.

"No, he's lying to you." Yan Guang couldn't stand it anymore, so he came over, snatched the bandage, untied it, and rewrapped it for Feng Shan, saying as he did so, "Feng Shan gave the cat to Yu Xiaoyu to take away."

"Yu Xiaoyu?" Li Zheng took a second to realize that this was Feng Shan's former blind date, who had successfully lost weight and returned to win back her crush.

"That girl was called back by her family. She usually takes care of Pipi, so Fengshan simply gave him to her." Yan Guang's bandaging skills weren't very good either, and Fengshan looked at him sideways, his face contorted with displeasure.

Lin Fengjiao timidly took over: "Let me do it. I have a lot of experience in bandaging."

Seeing her covered in bandages, everyone found her appearance very convincing.

After Lin Fengjiao took over, her technique became much more professional. The edges were pressed very neatly, as if they had been ironed, making them clean and beautiful.

Yan Guang watched and learned from the side, nodding from time to time as if he had grasped some technique.

Fengshan, who had been watching closely, suddenly had a change of expression when he received a private message.

It was sent by Yu Xiaoyu, who helped to build a bridge.

"Old Li, open a private chat, someone wants to talk business with you." Although Feng Shan usually resisted Yan Guang and Yu Xiaoyu, in reality, the two of them were definitely not as insignificant to him as he appeared.

Yu Xiaoyu only mentioned it briefly, and he immediately helped to pass it on.

"Looking for me?" Li Zhengyi turned off the private chat restrictions.

"Yes, Yu Xiaoyu's cousin said he needs your help." Feng Shan said casually, but his eyes were unfocused, probably because he was replying to the message.

Yan Guang became somewhat absent-minded as he watched Lin Fengjiao wrap her bandages.

Just seconds after Li Zheng lifted the restrictions, a player named Liu Qishao sent him a private message, asking them to abandon the subsequent exploration activities.

"Why?" Li Zheng frowned, his expression somewhat displeased.

He had assumed that his cousin Yu Xiaoyu's purpose in contacting him was the same as Misaka Tsuchimon's—to conduct a private transaction before the auction.

Originally, out of respect for Fengshan, he wanted to give the other party a discount.

But now it seems that's not the case.

Liu Qishao knew that capable people were often arrogant, even if they seemed low-key, they had an underlying arrogance.

So he adopted a very humble attitude: "I cannot disclose the reason, but please rest assured, Mr. Li, as long as you are willing to give us the top prize in this event, Kunlun will offer you a satisfactory price." This was an attempt to bribe him.

Li Zheng thought of the announcement from that morning; it seemed that Ma Long's team belonged to Kunlun.

He didn't rush to reply to Liu Qishao, but instead explained the situation to the others in the team. Then he looked at Zhan Zhouzhou and asked, "Ma Long and his family are sworn enemies with your family. Whether or not you should give up this event to them is up to you."

Other people's opinions are not really important.

Even Yan Guang, who contributed the most materials, did not refuse the offer after learning that the person who came to discuss the matter was a relative of Yu Xiaoyu.

Lin Fengjiao didn't really want to quit, because she wanted to see the mutants on Radiation Island punished one by one.

However, after only defeating mutant number 33, Li Zheng and his team began to suffer varying degrees of damage, which made her change her mind.

For her, the safety of Li Zheng and the others was clearly more important than the pleasure of revenge.

She didn't want Li Zheng and the others to continue getting hurt, even though their main purpose in killing the mutants wasn't to avenge her.

Fengshan?

Fengshan was the only one who refused to withdraw from the event.

But everyone could tell he was saying one thing and meaning another.

Li Zheng didn't care about this. As long as the benefits were sufficient, he would do anything Liu Qishao asked, even if it was just to help him secure the first victory and send out the prize.

Key takeaway: Plenty of benefits!

So now it depends on Zhan Zhouzhou's opinion. As long as she doesn't agree to withdraw, the team will continue to challenge the mutants until they can no longer fight them.

After a long silence, Zhan Zhouzhou said softly, "Let them have it. You can set the price yourself."

“No problem, watch me!” Li Zheng was a little surprised by Zhan Zhouzhou’s choice. Logically speaking, she should be the only one in the team who would disagree.

After all, that was their family's sworn enemy!

However, Li Zheng didn't ask any more questions and talked to Liu Qi, who had been feeling uneasy for a long time, about the price.

Although the final reward for this event is a superb item.

In reality, if they were to withdraw, Kunlun could not possibly offer anything of equal value as compensation.

Moreover, since the event lasts for six days, and no one knows what will happen next, Liu Qishao's idea is that after the event ends, regardless of whether Kunlun can obtain the final reward, he will give Li Zheng and the others two "space stones" each.

The Space Stone is a channel-jumping item controlled by Kunlun. It comes from a special merchant similar to Luo Aimang, who is controlled by Kunlun. Its grade is the same as that of ordinary space jump devices, which is platinum.

Of course, these "spatial wonder stones" are not without limitations.

The spatial jump device is limited to one use per player every thirty days.

The limitation of the Space Stone is that it can only jump within channels with a number close to "10".

For example, a player in channel "1" can use one channel and can choose any one of channels from 1 to 11 to teleport.

This thing was of no value to Li Zheng, who had already changed jobs.

So he raised the price again, securing a set of materials for a levitation propulsion system for everyone.

The kind that costs three times as much.
