Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 351 Cheng Tianpu: A Tiny Country!

"Sakura, give it your all! Once we kill this giant worm, we can have dinner!"

Li Zheng hovered in mid-air, looking down at Sakura and Pink Polly, who were wrestling like giant bugs that resembled train carriages, and cheered them on loudly.

The giant worm is a diamond-level life form, quite ordinary, with no special features other than its ability to burrow underground.

Since Sakura advanced to Diamond Boss, in close combat alone, she might be slightly inferior to Li Zheng, who has used all his skills, but they are about the same.

Every time the flesh worm couldn't defeat Sakura's burrowing, it would use its Earthshaking Strike to force the flesh worm out.

That flesh worm was ruthless; even though Sakura pierced its body with the obsidian stab, creating several holes, it managed to break free, its foul-smelling liquid spilling everywhere.

"Huh!?" Sakura became excited as soon as she heard that dinner was about to be served.

He opened his mouth and spat out more than ten invisible wind blades, slicing the meat into pieces that flew everywhere.

To prevent the worm from burrowing underground and escaping, the little guy stomped his foot hard, delivering a preemptive earth-shattering blow to block its escape route.

More than thirty obsidian blocks fell from the sky, and several obsidian cones rose from the ground.

Multiple attacks encircled and killed them from all directions, leaving the flesh worms nowhere to hide, and they died on the spot.

"Ugh." Li Zheng lowered his altitude, looked at the mangled corpses of maggots scattered all over the ground, pinched his nose in disgust, and had no idea where to even begin.

After finally getting my hands on it and breaking it down, I didn't get anything useful.

"Insect meat... 150 yuan?!" Li Zheng was extremely disgusted. Although this insect meat was a diamond-grade ingredient, the attribute bar highlighted it in bold red text, indicating that this thing contained a slight toxin!
The disgusting thing is the word "mild".

If a diamond-grade ingredient also has diamond-grade toxicity, Li Zheng could still find a way to use it as bait or sell it to someone else to find a way to use it up.

As a result, it happens to have "weak" toxicity, not even enough to kill an ordinary person who hasn't been enhanced. At most, it would just give them diarrhea for half a day. So what can it do?
If you take it out as a prank, others will be able to see "mild toxicity" in the attribute panel!
"Even a dog wouldn't eat this stuff, it's worse than chicken ribs!" Li Zheng was too lazy to sell it, so he stuffed all the insect meat into the compost bin, waiting to make it into fertilizer.

Hopefully, the diamond-grade insect flesh can be used to make diamond-grade fertilizer...

After finding a clean spot to set up his accommodation, Li Zheng spent an hour and a half having dinner. He then waved his hand, and a USB drive flew into his hand.

This was the most valuable item Li Zheng obtained after using up his remaining three exploration opportunities—a blueprint without a rank.

This blueprint is strange; it doesn't depict a weapon or any practical tool, but rather a "walkie-talkie."

[Spring Rain Walkie-Talkie Production Diagram]

Rank: None
Type: One-time drawing

Description: A walkie-talkie for use inside "Spring Rain" can be made.

所需素材：超维信号扩收芯片*1、超固玻璃钢*20、量子信号接收器*1、高级模块*15、高级零部件*10、中级模块*10、春雨身份认证器*1。】

Li Zheng had most of the materials, but he had never even heard of the most crucial ones.

On the contrary, the name "Spring Rain" gave Li Zheng a sense of déjà vu, but he couldn't remember where he had seen or heard it before.

"That's strange, where have I seen this name before?" Li Zheng racked his brains for a long time, but had no clue and had to give up.

After finally getting hold of a blueprint, I couldn't actually make it. So I grabbed my sheathed sword and went out to continue practicing swordsmanship, while also figuring out how to master the long staff and nunchaku techniques.

Time quickly passed to 11:30 p.m., and Li Zheng snapped out of his practice and reassembled the scabbard and sword exactly as they were.

"Let's use up the last exploration of the Mysterious Declaration first." After waking up the drowsy Sakura, Li Zheng picked up a lamp and walked in the darkness.

Squeak, squeak.

Unnoticed under normal circumstances, the Mysterious Declaration makes a slight metallic scraping sound when carried in hand and walked around, which sounds somewhat jarring in an extremely quiet environment.

As usual, Li Zheng checked on Sarutobi Amuro to confirm she was still alive, then turned and chose a safe material room, went inside, and obtained a diamond-grade dynamic core.

That concludes today's exploration. Aside from an improvement in strength, my event kill points have reached "16".

The 29th mutant was awarded as many as 6 points. It is unclear whether this was because it already had that many points or because the 29th mutant was special and was given two "3" points.

The second-place team, "Ma Long's Team," only had 8 kill points. After Li Zheng rejoined the event in the afternoon, Kunlun didn't get a single point.

After releasing the residence, Li Zheng went to the bathroom for a bath. He lay comfortably in the bathtub, placed the even more grotesque object on the edge of the tub, and quietly waited for the treasure chest to respawn.

It's best not to give blueprints from extraordinary treasure chests; instead, give finished equipment.

Otherwise, it would have been better to open the diamond-grade box yesterday!
Li Zheng waited quietly, and while browsing the world channel, he happened to see an interesting message.

This message came from Banquan Longma: "Cheng Tianpu, you've returned everything you wanted, don't push your luck!"

Upon seeing this message, Li Zheng immediately became interested.

He had met Banquan Longma before. He was of average strength, but had decent cunning and methods. He was an arrogant fellow.

Why is it that after just a few days, he's suddenly making a statement on the world channel, and his words seem to be apologizing?

"Who is this Cheng Tianpu? How could he force Banquan Longma to this state?" Li Zheng noticed the name and thought the style suggested he was a Chinese thief.

Sure enough, the next moment, a name with a strong Chinese influence appeared on the world channel, replying to Itazumi Ryoma in Chinese characters.

Cheng Tianpu: "Hehe, does Young Master Banquan think that he can run wild in the territory of Room N without paying a price?"

Players of Itagaki Ryoma's stature can still acquire quite a few items that increase the number of times they can shout in the world chat.

Banquan Longma said urgently, "We were also tricked! Someone robbed one of my warehouses at night, and the traces left behind all point to players from your country."

Park remained calm and composed, not easily believing Ichizawa Ryoma's explanation: "There are so many players in our country, yet they come to my Nth Room's territory to cause trouble. Now you say you were scammed? Are you trying to fool a three-year-old?"

Banquan Longma: "Believe it or not, everything we took from you has been returned to its rightful owner. If you continue to cause trouble, our Nihong Kingdom is not to be trifled with!"

Cheng Tianpu scoffed, "What's there to fear from a tiny country like this?"

The phrase "tiny country" didn't amuse others, but Li Zhengxian laughed.

It's utterly ridiculous that a Chinese thief would dare to mock Japan as a "tiny country"!
However, Li Zheng understood the whole story.

The whole thing started when one of the players under Banquan Longma's command, who was in charge of storing supplies, was robbed at night.

The robbers somehow managed to operate, and Izazumi Ryoma suspected the National Theft Organization, so he retaliated overnight, only to find that he had targeted the wrong organization.

"Robbery at night?" Li Zheng wondered, wondering where he had heard this story before.
At this moment, the system notified that a new private message had arrived.

Upon opening it, he saw a message from Chu Xiao: "Old Li, um... give me a standard-sized tech mug, please!"
