Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 323 Jiang Bingyao (Two chapters combined, please vote!)

Similarly, the materials for the aircraft will only be available after the event ends.

Even after the price was agreed upon, Liu Qishao was still afraid that Li Zheng would go back on his word, so he insisted that Li Zheng sign an agreement, which was notarized by the matrix terminal before he felt at ease.

In this way, Li Zheng's event ticket was rendered useless, and he couldn't get in even if he wanted to.

The agreement taking effect also means that in a few days, in addition to the two space stones, Li Zheng will also be able to acquire eleven sets of aircraft materials.

The reason there are eleven sets is that four of them were traded in the names of other members of the team and must be cashed out.

What?
Is the asking price three times that of the basic materials for the aircraft?
Is there such a thing?
Has Li Zheng publicly disclosed the material requirements for aircraft?
This is an opportunity he used to seek personal gain and earn extra money, isn't it?
That's why purchasing is said to be the most lucrative position in every company.
With this agreement in place, Li Zheng even considered taking advantage of the fact that everyone was present and cashing out the aircraft directly.

“A notarized and valid agreement must be enforced by both parties. There is no chance of breach of contract. I’m not afraid you won’t honor it!” Li Zheng took out four flying machines and was about to distribute them to everyone when he suddenly remembered something.

"If either party dies, the agreement seems to become invalid. If Liu Qishao is taken by the King of Hell in the next few days, wouldn't it be a huge loss for me to give away the aircraft now?"

"If you don't want to give it, you don't have to, but saying it out loud like that is a bit much, isn't it?" Fengshan said, full of frustration.

Li Zheng snapped out of his daze, embarrassed: "Did I blurt out my inner thoughts again?"

"What do you think?" Zhan Zhouzhou stared straight at him.

"Oh dear~" Li Zheng chuckled awkwardly, "How embarrassing."

Zhan Zhouzhou didn't continue on that topic, but instead brought up what Li Zheng was worried about: "If you're afraid that Liu Qishao will die, there's no need to worry. With the three Ma brothers around, it would be difficult for him to die even if he wanted to."

The female warrior Zhan had previously said that she was no match for the three of them, and that even if Liu Qishao were to act as an experience-gaining baby and do nothing, Ma Long and the others could still ensure his survival.

Li Zheng scratched his head: "What do you know? I call this a sense of crisis."

"I think you're overthinking it." Zhan Zhouzhou rolled her eyes at him, stood up and said, "Anyway, we can't continue this activity, let's go back early, we still have to explore today."

"and many more!"

Li Zheng stopped her and tossed her a brand-new aircraft: "Take this and be careful when using it. If you break it, I won't provide warranty service."

"Thanks." Zhan Zhouzhou caught the aircraft, patted it twice, and left.

Li Zheng then took out three more units and handed them to Feng Shan and the others: "One for each of you."

"Hehe, I've been eyeing this for a long time, but I never had enough materials. Today I finally got one." Feng Shan hugged the aircraft, his face full of satisfaction.

"You scoundrel!" Yan Guang grabbed him and said, "Let's go too."

The two left together.

Compared to others, what Yan Guang gained was at best a return on his investment.

If it weren't for Yu Xiaoyu's sake, she wouldn't have been so easy to talk to.

After the two left, Lin Fengjiao handed the flying device to Li Zheng, saying, "This... I can't accept it."

The team consisted of five people, and they challenged the event a total of five times over two days. She hardly participated in any battles and felt guilty for taking the title.

Li Zheng didn't take it: "Take what's yours. If you really don't want it, give it to Lao Xiao when you get back."

"Well..." Lin Fengjiao hesitated for two seconds, then put away the flying vehicle: "Alright then, thank you, Brother Li."

"Don't mention it, we're leaving." Li Zheng waved goodbye casually with Xiao Ying and left the event.

Back in his room from the morning, Li Zheng immediately took out his ticket to check it, only to find that it was locked and could not be used to enter the event instance.

At this moment, another announcement appeared on the world channel: Malone's team had finally captured Mutant Number Thirty-Four.

If they can take down the three mutants, number 30, 31, and 32, their kill points will surpass those of Li Zheng and his team.

The premise is that no one else is competing with them.

After all, no one knows how many skilled players there are among the players.

Looking up at the door I had chosen earlier, the detection information remained unchanged.

Instead of rushing to explore, Li Zheng first cleaned himself of the dirt that had gotten on him, making himself feel refreshed, and changed his clothes before setting off again.

He was no longer carrying the flying vehicle. He had already mastered the use of the Thunder Wings during the battle against Mutant No. 33, and now was the perfect time to test it out.

"span!"

With a thought, dazzling wings made of lightning pierced through his clothes and appeared on Li Zheng's back.

With a single wing measuring 3.2 meters in length and fully extended, it inexplicably reminded Li Zheng of a game he had played before.

"It looks exactly like those light-polluting wings in the Legend of Mir, the only difference is that mine can actually fly."

Li Zheng closed his eyes and carefully tried to recapture the feeling of controlling the wings he had experienced not long ago.

Not much time has passed since the battle ended, and he easily regained that feeling, a wing behind him fluttering gently.

"What a strange feeling." Li Zheng looked puzzled. Although the wings were made of lightning, he felt as if they were an organ of his own body.

After a while, they become indistinguishable from limbs.

It was as if those wings had always grown on his back, but he had never tried to move them before.

Controlling his wings to flap in sync, Li Zheng's body slowly lifted off the ground.

The lightning's wings are hollow and cannot trap airflow.

But the Demon Wings do not fly using that traditional method.

The primary source of kinetic energy for these wings is actually a force similar to "electromagnetism".

"No wonder I crashed last time when I tried to fly with traditional wings; I had misunderstood the whole thing." Li Zheng stopped flapping his wings, but remained suspended in mid-air without falling.

"Ouch?"

Sakura flew over curiously and observed her master's wings up close, a look of envy on her face.

To it, these large, glowing wings were incredibly cool!
Li Zheng said with a smile, "You probably can't outfly me this time."

Before he could finish speaking, lightning flashed in mid-air.

The next second, Li Zheng disappeared from his original spot, transforming into a thick bolt of lightning that ripped through the sky.

Li Zheng stopped in front of the card reader on the roof and nodded in satisfaction.

The speed of the Thunder Wings exceeded his expectations; with just a slight activation, they were several times faster than an aircraft.

He had a premonition.

If he were to fully utilize those wings for flight, he could indeed reach the speed of lightning!

However, in that state, flying would also have a significant impact on him.

Neither bones, flesh, nor internal organs could withstand such extreme speeds.

Currently, he can only barely withstand it by simultaneously activating his Power Demon Avatar, and even then, it won't last long. Seeing that he has enough Force, Li Zheng decides to try his maximum speed.

First activate the transformation ability, then activate the lightning wings.

This time, he didn't even leave behind a lightning phantom; he seemed to have vanished into thin air.

Three seconds later, Li Zheng reappeared in a corner of the room.

As soon as it revealed its form, the Demonic Avatar effect could not be maintained and it reverted to its original state.

"What terrifying speed!" Li Zheng was a little scared. After pushing it to its full power, the flight speed was too fast, and he couldn't even control the direction.

If the room he was in hadn't been relatively large, he wouldn't have even had time to stop on his own before crashing into the wall in a suicidal impact.

"It can be used as a burst of power, but if you're just flying normally, you should control it."

After completing the basic tests, Li Zheng divided the speed of the wings into six levels.

The first gear is slightly slower than the aircraft's full speed, used for traveling in relatively safe conditions.

The second gear doubles the speed, which can be used in battle, and the super-fast speed also enhances the effectiveness of his attacks.

It's roughly equivalent to Sakura activating her "Rapid Flight" ability.

Third gear is the limit he can currently handle. In this state, he can barely control the direction without putting too much strain on his body.

From fourth gear onwards, the speed is no longer under his control, and he will not use it unless absolutely necessary.

It's far too dangerous.

After a short rest, Li Zheng, along with the stunned Xiao Ying, left through the door on the roof to begin their exploration for the day.

……

Channel 67.

Jiang Bingyao fiddled with the compass in his hand, his upturned triangular eyes scanning the combat power rankings, searching for his next target.

Not far from him, a pile of rotten flesh mixed with various colors was scattered all over the ground.

Not long ago, that lump of rotten flesh was a living person.

The blood energy emanating from Jiang Bingyao was much stronger than when he first arrived here.

Cheng Tianpu's order to him this time was very simple: eliminate everyone in the top 50 of the Channel 67 combat power rankings, as long as he had the ability to kill them!
To this end, Cheng Tianpu deliberately equipped him with a Hunter's Compass, which, when fully charged, allows him to teleport nine times within the same channel.

This also means that Jiang Bingyao will have to stay on Channel 67 for at least five days to complete the mission.

"Ha, a bunch of useless trash. They clearly knew I was coming, but no one could stop me?" Jiang Bingyao scanned the power rankings while also keeping an eye on the chat messages in the regional channel.

His arrival was already known when he attacked the first player, which sparked a verbal outcry from players throughout Channel 67.

However, the campaign against Jiang Bingyao ended there.

Because Jiang Bingyao has never revealed his real name, even if others know of his existence, they can do nothing about him.

Without a real name, it is impossible to locate and transmit the device.

The players on channel 67 were completely on the defensive.

Unless there's an administrator here, like on Channel 879, who has the right to update the daily power rankings and include Jiang Bingyao's information in the power rankings.

"These trash players feel terrible. Let's find some top ten players on the combat power ranking and change things up." Jiang Bingyao casually entered a name into the compass and sent it over.

……

In another room, Misaka Tsuchiemon, having just killed a Gold-level creature, sat cross-legged on the ground with his katana resting on his lap, meditating while recovering his genetic power.

At times, his ability to manipulate metal is far more useful than his kendo skills.

Therefore, in every battle, Misaka Tsuchimuro never conserves his genetic energy. Often, after a battle, he needs a long time to recover and reach his peak condition before opening the next door.

This time is no exception.

His Force has only recovered by more than half, and it will take at least another twenty minutes to fully recover.

He will spend those twenty minutes meditating, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

This meditation was created by him based on the so-called "internal strength" cultivation method of the Dragon Kingdom. It looks like he is sitting cross-legged and resting, but in fact his consciousness is always in an active state.

No matter how much his body wanted to get up and exercise, he would suppress his instincts and temper his mind.

……

Jiang Bingyao stepped out of the teleportation state and landed on the thick grass.

Looking around, all that could be seen was withered grass, like a dead zone.

Within this dead zone, a player sat cross-legged, as still as an old monk in meditation, unmoved by anything external.

Snapped!
Snapped!
Snapped!
With heavy footsteps, Jiang Bingyao walked up to him and looked at him with great interest.

"Misaka Tsuchiemon, ranked third on the Channel 67 power ranking. Since the first and second place have never appeared, he can also be considered the number one person on Channel 67."

Jiang Bingyao circled around Misaka Tsuchiemon, recounting his experiences as if he knew them intimately.

"I wonder how it feels to fight the number one player on the power ranking?"

Jiang Bingyao revealed a ferocious and cruel smile, raised a fist the size of a clay pot, and blew on the half-finger fighting glove he was wearing.

The gloves were a dirty black color, as if they had been soaked in a lot of blood to get that color.

The strong smell of blood was nauseating, but he took a deep breath of it and looked intoxicated.

Misaka Tsuchimon seemed oblivious to the danger, his eyes still closed, but he slowly said, "If you're just curious, I can tell you definitively that the number one on the power ranking is very difficult to fight, and you might even be killed by his shock."

"Is that so?" Jiang Bingyao raised an eyebrow, as if he had become interested. "But words are not enough. Why doesn't Mr. Misaka show himself and shock me to death?"

“You misunderstand.” Misaka Tsuchimon’s eyes narrowed to slits. “The number one on the power ranking that I was referring to earlier is not myself, but the gentleman I fought not long ago.”

"You mean Shenwei, who's ranked number sixty-seven on the power ranking? I heard that Shenwei and the second-ranked player haven't uttered a single word since the start of the game, and you've actually fought against him?"

Misaka Tsuchiemon closed his eyes again and shook his head slightly: "It's not Kamui."

"Who is that? Tell me his name. After I kill you all, I'll go find him and have some fun." Jiang Bingyao grinned, revealing his jagged gold teeth.

"Excuse my bluntness, but with your abilities, that gentleman could crush you with one hand. You'd better not go and humiliate yourself," Misaka Tsuchiemon earnestly advised.

"Bringing shame upon yourself?" Jiang Bingyao laughed heartily, then suddenly realized that the other party had spoken in Chinese. He paused for a moment, then laughed again.

However, when he laughed again later, it was full of sarcasm.

"I think I know who you're talking about. Once I finish my mission, I'll go find him and have some fun." Jiang Bingyao's expression gradually turned ferocious. He suddenly clenched his fist and delivered a heavy punch to Misaka Tsuchimuro's temple.
