Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 366 Acting tough on my turf? Who gave you the guts!
That's how human thinking works. Sometimes, a single thought can lead astray and turn a mad rabbit into a frenzied rabbit, speeding along the wrong highway.

Misaka Tsuchimon is now like this, convinced that Itazumi Ryoma "betrayed" him, and he's stuck on this path with no way back.

Even if Park denied it to his face, he would probably find it hard to believe him.

Li Zheng was unaware of the feud between the two, and thought to himself that the two organizations in Muddy Country were really getting along well. One second they were united against a common enemy, and the next second they turned against each other.

Unlike our Dragon Kingdom's Nine Heavens and Kunlun, they each do their own thing and don't bother each other.

"Takamagahara bid 130, is there anyone higher?" Li Zheng steered the barrage back on track. If no one else bids, these ten culture dishes will belong to Takamagahara.

Chris said sarcastically, "Didn't someone just say that small-scale sparring is meaningless? Now you've really backed down?"

Claire was equally indignant about Liu Qishao's previous behavior, and chimed in, "Some men in China are like that, they show off and then run away. I heard they think it's exciting."

Perhaps fearing that the two would anger Li Zheng, the inspector stepped in and spoke up: "Didn't Chairman Liu say he wouldn't raise the price any further? Why press him so hard?"

"We're the ones pressuring you?" Claire retorted. "He's the one who disrupted the bidding process first, so how come it's us who's pressuring you?"

That's actually a bit unreasonable.

Everyone is here to participate in the auction, and it's up to others to offer whatever price they want; there's no question of disrupting the proceedings.

However, arguing with such people was pointless, and Liu Qishao didn't even have the mood to pay attention to them. He was still calculating how many petri dishes he would buy from Li Zheng later.

"One hundred and thirty first times!"

Seeing that no one was bidding higher, Li Zheng started the countdown, wanting to speed up the auction and end it as soon as possible.

The auction had been going on for so long that it was already dark. Xiao Ying had been pacing around for a while, urging Li Zheng to hurry up and serve dinner; she couldn't wait any longer.

"One hundred and thirty, the second time!"

"The 130th..."

"One hundred and five!"

Halfway through typing, an even higher price appeared in the comments.

Li Zheng paused in his action of sending comments; the new price was from a player who hadn't said a word since entering the live stream.

Name: Jess D. Fortanson.

A player from the United States of America.

Cao Cao's pupils dilated slightly upon seeing this comment: "Finally, they've made their move?"

Having once been a member of the Bald Eagles, he was very familiar with this name.

It could even be said that the Bald Eagle organization was able to exist because of this person!
Jess D. Fortanson!
The great inventor who invented the "offline mind control chip"!

He has control over the entire military of the United States!

If there's anyone in the Matrix who could extract all of Li Zheng's value without harming his life, it would be Jess!
If Li Zheng can be captured alive and a control chip can be extracted and implanted into his brain, Li Zheng will become a flesh and blood puppet completely obedient to Jess in just ten seconds!
Cao Cao was not a member of the US military; he was just a real estate businessman who was quick-witted and wealthy. This allowed him to infiltrate the White Eagle organization after joining the Matrix and obtain a minor leadership position.

After Bai Tou Ying had thoroughly offended Li Zheng, he secretly ran away without even saying goodbye.

Jess is decent at scientific research and invention, but he can't play dirty tricks. Following him will only make you cannon fodder in the end.

Cao Cao understood this point, which is why he decisively fled from the Bald Eagle and started his own Genesis organization.

Cao Cao didn't know much about Jess, only that he rarely showed himself, and when he did, it was for one thing only: to recruit people! "I suspected something was wrong when I first saw Jess's name. Now it seems he's after Li Zheng's abilities and wants to win him over?" Cao Cao muttered to himself, unsure of Jess's true purpose this time.

Sure enough, after sending the bidding message, Jess added: "Mr. Li Zheng, the White Eagle Organization sincerely invites you to join. As long as you agree, the position of White Eagle's second-in-command is yours."

While the Bald Eagle organization has not yet surpassed 100,000 members, it is not far off.

Most of them were ordinary soldiers who had been controlled by Jess with chips before entering the Matrix. They were fearless and absolutely loyal to him personally.

The other part consists of the "capable" people he cultivated during this period.

For example, the two ability users who attacked Li Zheng back then.

However, the deputy position has been vacant for a long time, and no one has been in charge.

It can be said that the position of "second-in-command" in the Bald Eagle is absolutely second only to the leader and above tens of thousands of people!
Jess felt that by personally stepping forward this time, setting aside past grievances, and inviting Li Zheng to join the team, he had shown enough respect and courtesy.

Even if Li Zheng didn't immediately bow down like the others, he would still be tempted by the position of the White Eagle's deputy.

You should know that sitting in that position means you have the authority to decide the life and death of all the chip warriors!
Jess was full of confidence, and no one could resist such temptation.

Unfortunately, if it were any other ambitious person, Jess's personal invitation would have been successful.

But Li Zheng was different. He glanced at the comments with disdain, then ignored them as if he hadn't seen them, disregarding Jess's invitation to him, and read out the bid: "Mr. Jess bids 150. Is there a higher bid?"

Li Zheng's move made everyone in the live broadcast room hold their breath.

That's Jayce!

The head of the Bald Eagle organization has tens of thousands of soldiers under his command, all of whom are fiercely loyal to him!

In the Matrix, if you really want to kill someone, you can overwhelm them with lives!
They were afraid that if Li Zheng didn't agree, Jess would order him to be hunted down, and they were even more afraid that if Li Zheng agreed, all his props would be monopolized by the Bald Eagle.

"Mr. Li, there's no need to rush to agree. Give me your answer before the auction ends, and it will be considered valid." Jess continued to send a comment: "Mr. Li, there's no need to keep counting down. Once I speak, no one dares to raise the price!"

These words are even more infuriating than Liu Qishao's previous actions!
But surprisingly, no one dared to post a comment to refute it.

Even a simple price increase is something no one dares to do.

Reasonable people fear stubborn people, stubborn people fear ruthless people, and ruthless people fear those who are reckless.

Both being heads of large organizations, Liu Qi was more reasonable, while Jess was more reckless.

At least the men he sent out were truly fearless!
More terrifying than terrorist organizations!
Who can mess with them?
Who would dare to mess with them?

“In that case…” Li Zheng nodded thoughtfully, “Then this batch of petri dishes is yours.”

He stopped counting down and directly traded ten petri dishes to Jess.

After the transaction was completed, Li Zheng confirmed that he had received the materials and then proceeded to resell them.

Player "Jace D. Fortanson" was kicked out of the streamer's chat.

Everyone was stunned.

Only Li Zheng, with a gloomy face, said calmly, "Trying to act tough on my turf? Who gave you the guts?"
