Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 332 The Ticket to Enter the Outer City!
"Agreement?" Li Zheng was puzzled. He had signed countless agreements with others, including four confidentiality agreements for the Eye of Prey alone.

Seeing that Li Zheng dared not get down, the man assumed it was because he was intimidated by the knife in his hand, so he put it back into the scabbard at his waist: "The agreement you signed today."

The agreement signed today is nothing more than a deal with Liu Qishao to no longer participate in activities.

But... apart from a few team members and Liu Qishao, probably not many people know about this, right?

Who is this person?

Why do you seem so concerned about this?
Could it be that Kunlun's competitor wants me to go back and participate in the event to compete with Kunlun for points?

Li Zheng asked hesitantly, "Who are you?"

"Me?" The man raised his head without making any additional movements, but an invisible aura suddenly erupted from him, overwhelming everything, as if an ancient ferocious beast had awakened from its slumber, roaring to the sky and choosing its prey.

You can call me: The Butcher.

What overwhelming power!
Li Zheng's eyes narrowed. The butcher's strength was beyond his imagination. Perhaps only the two cloaked figures he had seen before could compare to him.

There are actually such powerful players among them?
And the terminal even allowed him to wander around the matrix?

"Ow~"

Sakura also felt that terrifying power, tilted her head back, and fell straight down from the sky, kicking up dust as she fell.

Just like when he first met Romain Rolland, the little guy chose to play dead.

Pink Poli looked up, confused for two seconds, before understanding Sakura's meaning. It then lay down on top of Sakura and pretended to be dead together.

“You’re not a player,” Li Zhengqiang said calmly.

Butcher: "To be precise, I'm not an active player."

This statement can be interpreted as meaning that he used to be a player, but he isn't anymore.

This also confirms Li Zheng's previous conjecture: Earthlings were indeed not the first wave of beings to enter the Matrix.

"You came to me just to find out why I signed that agreement?" Li Zheng was puzzled. He had only signed an insignificant agreement, so why had it alarmed such a powerful figure?
The butcher shook his head: "To be precise, I'm here to help you terminate the agreement. Your actions this time have displeased a certain important person. After all, he thinks highly of you, and this event, in a sense, was specially set up for you."

An event specifically set up for me?
This is just a bit outrageous, isn't it?

Could it be that the important person who has taken a liking to me is the Matrix Terminal?
hiss……

Hold the grass!

It’s not impossible!
Li Zheng thought of the treasure chest system; every time he took something out of the treasure chest, the terminal would give him a notification.

It's perfectly reasonable for the terminal to notice you.

Moreover, besides the Matrix Terminal, who else could command beings of the Butcher's and Cloaked Man's caliber to run errands?
This explains why the cloaked figure could have stood by and done nothing when the doctor was taking samples last time, but instead stepped in to help.

At the time, Li Zheng thought the other party was only doing it because of the doctor's reputation.

Looking back now, it must have been the terminal secretly directing things.

But why?

Why should a terminal give itself special treatment?
Just because you have a treasure chest system?
Or……

Is the treasure chest system actually something the terminal gives to itself?

No reason!

I am just an ordinary, unremarkable player on Earth. What have I done to deserve such treatment?

In terms of strength, when Zhan Zhouzhou entered the Matrix, apart from the monsters on Radiation Island, she was definitely among the top in the world!
When it comes to a sense of responsibility, Xiao Siyuan is miles ahead of him.

Even if it were just luck, Feng Shan could look down on him. Why should someone as ordinary as him receive such treatment?
Almost instantly, countless thoughts flashed through Li Zheng's mind.

"After the agreement is signed, can others, besides the terminal user, also unbind themselves?" Li Zheng asked calmly.

Zheng!
The butcher drew his cleaver slightly from his waist: "In this area of ​​yours, there is nothing that cannot be cut!"

That statement sounded a bit pretentious, so Li Zheng automatically replaced it with another interpretation: "Things from the newbie village? My max-level character can easily open them, right?"

The crucial point is, this is system-bound!
I've never heard of a max-level character being able to change their account bindings so easily!

Even if you're a VIP Platinum VVVVVVVVVVIP, you wouldn't have this kind of privilege, would you?

That's GM's job, right?

How are the terminals supposed to cope with this situation?
"Hurry up and get down. I'm in a rush to finish my mission and go back to find someone to stew the little turtle," the butcher urged.

"Oh, just a moment."

Li Zheng folded his wings and landed not far from the butcher. Out of caution, he didn't get too close and asked, "What should I do?"

The agreement was a non-physical thing, and he knew nothing about the termination process.

Butcher: "Give me the teleportation device you used to enter the event."

Li Zheng did as instructed, took out the event ticket, and threw it over.

With a casual wave of his hand, the event ticket landed in his palm. Then, a flash of light appeared, and a cracking sound echoed through the air.

"then."

The ticket flew back to Li Zheng, who caught it and discovered that the agreement that had locked the ticket had indeed disappeared.

The next moment, he received several private messages.

The butcher was still nearby, so he didn't have time to check.

"Done." The butcher was in high spirits after completing the task and turned to look at the two armored dragon turtles whose blood had been drained.

Li Zheng tried to take two steps closer and found that the butcher did not seem to be planning to use conventional methods of dismemberment. He wanted to broaden his horizons.

At the same time, he also got a clear look at the butcher's face.

From the side, the butcher was thin and weak, with a refined but ordinary appearance. He was naked from the waist up, wearing a leather apron and dirty casual pants with the cuffs rolled up to his calves. A short and wide knife sheath was tied to his waist with a thin thread, and he wore a pair of green flip-flops.

If Li Zheng hadn't recently witnessed the other party's methods, he would never have imagined that this person was such a terrifying big shot.

"No! Or rather... this is how a big shot should dress! Casual and unrestrained!"

The butcher seemed to know that Li was looking him over, and said without turning his head, "Don't look at me. This is not my real appearance. I just asked the doctor to help me change into a look that you would find more acceptable for this mission."

As he spoke, Li Zheng saw the skin around the butcher's ear suddenly disappear, turning into a few tufts of messy hair. Among those hairs was a prop that looked very familiar to him—a translator.

Li Zheng wasn't curious at all about the butcher's true nature; what he was more curious about was why the terminal insisted on having him participate in the activity.

After all, the small reward for winning the event was better than nothing to him.

Tomorrow he can open a Super Treasure Chest, and if he's lucky, he might just get a finished item and directly obtain the same level of the event's winning prize.

Li Zheng asked the butcher about this directly.

The butcher chuckled and said, "Some of the prizes for this event have been hidden and not announced."

"If you are the final winner, each member of your team will receive a ticket to enter the outer city directly."
