Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 335 Brother, do you want a wife?

"Is Mutant Number Thirty still alive?" Li Zheng opened the world channel and found that the announcement was still on Mutant Number Thirty-One being killed, with no news about Mutant Number Thirty.

"Maybe Ma Long and the others are injured and are recovering," Zhan Zhouzhou said in the group chat. "After all, their strongest opponents signed an agreement, so they don't need to rush and can take their time to challenge them."

Yan Guang: "Then why don't we take advantage of this moment and just pick number 30?"

Fengshan: "Why pick number 30? If we're going to do it, let's do number 29! Otherwise, it'll look like we're bullying them!"

Li Zheng stroked his chin, feeling that things weren't so simple: "No rush, there's plenty of time. There are still five days left. Everyone can go about their business as usual. Just reserve two exploration opportunities to participate in the activities."

Lin Fengjiao: "Huh? We'll keep it for two times? Aren't we going to try and get points? Didn't you say before that number 30 was the weakest mutant so far?"

“We should take it, but there’s no need to be in such a hurry,” Li Zheng said. “It’s been several hours since Mutant No. 31 was killed. Even if Ma Long and the others were injured, they should have recovered by now. The fact that they haven’t been able to take down Mutant No. 30 suggests that Mutant No. 30 might be something unusual. Let’s be prepared before we go.”

Zhan Zhouzhou: "I don't care. Call me whenever you're ready."

Li Zheng: "No problem."

Yan Guang: "Shall we go explore first?"

Li Zheng: "Go ahead, be careful."

Fengshan: "Wait! Brother, do you still have any Abyss-type items? I need some! My Abyss Bloodline ability hasn't improved in ages!"

Has the European champion fallen?

Li Zheng narrowed his eyes. He had noticed before that Feng Shan's Abyss Bloodline ability, which had been developed for four or five days, was still only at Lv3.

This indicates that Feng, the European Emperor, and Shan have hardly explored any Abyss-type items during these days, resulting in no improvement whatsoever.

Given his abnormally good luck, the fact that he didn't obtain any Abyss-related items seemed even more abnormal.

Could it be that Yan Guang and Yu Xiaoyu explored with him, diluting his good fortune?

Li Zheng scratched his chin, a strange light flashing in his eyes: "Yes, there are, quite a few."

He showed off the serotonin he had obtained when he cleared the Fallen Abyss, and Fengshan immediately panicked when he saw the quantity:

"Holy crap! Bro! My dear brother! Sell me some! No, no, sell me everything! Please! Ever since those bastards started exploring with me, I haven't gotten much that can improve my strength. They've all gotten it!"

Yan Guang raised an eyebrow: "You mean Xiaoyu and I are a burden to you?"

Fengshan: "Don't you have any self-awareness about whether you've been a burden to me? Look at what kind of garbage you've gotten from your explorations. Apart from a pair of fist knuckles, it's all usable materials! I haven't seen any tools for developing genetic abilities in ages!"

Yan Guang: "Then I'll leave?"

Fengshan was overjoyed: "Please get out of here!"

Li Zheng frowned. Logically speaking, the three of them, Feng Shan and Feng Shan, should have encountered rooms with considerable difficulty after their combined strength. So why did they gain so little?

After thinking for a moment, he asked in the group: "What level and type of the most powerful creature you've encountered during your exploration?"

"Biological? What a load of rubbish!" Feng Shan was furious. "I haven't seen anything with flesh and blood for days. They're all mechanical monsters, hard-edged dandies. All the materials we get from dismantling them go to that wicked woman. If we keep fighting like this for two more days, her hand will be covered in diamonds. Damn it!"

Yan Guang said smugly, "Isn't it good that my sister is strong enough to protect you?"

Feng Shan roared in fury: "Get out! Who needs your protection?"

The two were arguing in the group chat, but Li Zheng fell into deep thought.

That's why they say even heroes can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman.
Often, it's not that a beautiful woman is the hardest thing to overcome in matters of the heart, but rather that once a hero encounters a beautiful woman, his life revolves more around her.

If it weren't for Yan Guang, Feng Shan's abyss abilities would have been maxed out by now. Li Zheng was very fortunate that he didn't have such troubles; single life was so "free".

"Alright, you two stop arguing!" Li Zheng tried to mediate in the group chat: "Giving you serotonin isn't out of the question, but judging from your expression, you probably don't have anything I'm interested in to trade."

Fengshan said urgently, "Brother! We're brothers, why are you talking about a deal?"

Holy crap, this guy's getting more and more shameless, trying to get something for free?

Li Zheng's face darkened: "Even close brothers keep clear accounts. If you say such things again, you'll never have a chance to get any good things in the future."

Feng Shan's eyes darted around: "Brother, do you want a wife?"

Almost everyone in the group understood what he meant instantly and angrily shouted, "Get out!"

After scolding him, Li Zheng continued, "I'm not completely heartless. I can give you the things, but you have to agree to one condition."

Feng Shan hesitated for a moment: "What are the conditions? As long as you don't make me offer myself to you, everything is negotiable."

Li Zheng's face darkened even more: "Damn it, have you no shame? Besides Yan Guang and Yu Xiaoyu, who would be blind enough to fall for you?"

Yan Guang: "Meow?"

Li Zheng then took out platinum-grade concentrated serotonin and shared the information in the group: "As long as you agree to my conditions, you can not only get more than twenty vials of regular serotonin, but also all of these concentrated ones."

More than twenty doses of ordinary serotonin are enough for Fengshan to upgrade his Abyss Bloodline ability to the maximum level.

Concentrated serotonin would allow him to develop another platinum-level abyss-type ability.

This kind of business seems like it can't possibly lose money.

However, precisely because of this, Fengshan hesitated: "You state your conditions first."

"The conditions are very simple, and you don't even need to fulfill them immediately." Li Zheng smiled and revealed his true colors: "As long as you win the final prize, you and Yan Guang just need to give me the item that is not part of the prize."

Items not included in the prizes refer to the hidden outer city ticket rewards in the terminal.

Only if Li Zheng's team wins will each member receive an extra ticket to enter the outer city, in addition to the extraordinary item.

"Isn't the event reward just a superb item? What other rewards are there?" Feng Shan vaguely sensed something was wrong, but couldn't figure out the key to it.

Li Zheng said, "Never mind that. As long as you accept these conditions, we'll sign the agreement now."

Fengshan knew that Li Zheng's vague words meant he had definitely set a trap for him.

However, the amount of serotonin that Li Zheng offered was indeed hard for him to refuse. If he didn't agree and wanted to collect it slowly on his own, he didn't know when he would be able to get so much.

Actually, he did manage to get some serotonin these past few days. He traded a few vials with others privately, but the quantity was small, just enough to get by.

In fact, Li Zheng could have obtained even more serotonin, because most of the serotonin was with Xiao Siyuan after they fought the Fallen Abyss.

If Li Zheng needs it, Lao Xiao will definitely not be stingy.

Lin Fengjiao knew about this, but she sided with Li Zheng and remained silent in the group chat, not mentioning it.

After considering it for a long time, Feng Shan finally gritted his teeth and made up his mind: "I'll sign!"

Looking at those two words, Li Zheng smiled with satisfaction.
