Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 367 Auction: A Housekeeping Machine That Is Unlike Any Other!

The leader of the Bald Eagle organization, equivalent to the president of the Stars and Stripes country on Earth, attended Li Zheng's auction and was kicked out halfway through?

Li Zheng's move took everyone by surprise, leaving them completely bewildered.

How can there be such a clueless person in the world?

Isn't he afraid of Jayce's retaliation?

Is Li Zheng afraid of retaliation from the Bald Eagle?

Cao Cao realized what was happening and exclaimed, "Don't be silly!"

Rather than saying Li Zheng wasn't afraid of the bald eagle's retaliation, it would be more accurate to say that the bald eagle had already thoroughly offended Li Zheng several days ago!
Do you really think that by sending a few people to assassinate Li Zheng, they can hide which country the assassins are from?
People who think this way, do they also think it's reasonable for women dressed as men to not be recognized when they watch TV?

Can't you recognize someone you see every day if they cover their face?

Who would be so naive?
Oh, maybe Jayce really is that naive...

This inventor, who was full of scientific research before entering the matrix, does seem to have some problems.

Sometimes Cao Cao really wanted to shout in Jess's ear: "My lord, times have changed!"
There are countless things in the Matrix that are far more advanced than "offline mind control chips." Who can guarantee that none of his soldiers will suddenly break free from chip control?

In fact, Cao Cao had secretly collected some things that could crack the chip, preparing to use them as a trump card when he went to war with the United States.

"The auction continues."

For Li Zheng, kicking out the leader of the Bald Eagles was like accidentally stepping on a stray dog ​​while walking on the side of the road; before the dog bites back, it's no big deal.

"This auction item is a mid-grade nutrient solution, platinum level. It can increase crop growth speed and shorten the ripening interval. The effect is even better when used in conjunction with a petri dish." Li Zheng smiled sinisterly and took out a 500 ml bottle of nutrient solution, which can be used five times.

He originally intended to sell this prop together with the culture dish, because he couldn't think of how to auction the culture medium.

He'd figured it out: instead of having to stop the robot from time to time to clean up poop, he'd rather trade some compostable items at the auction.

For example: various kinds of meat that are inedible or have a bad texture or taste.

Insects can decompose into a large amount of this kind of meat, and various organizations must have a lot of it in stock. It is not very valuable, but they are reluctant to throw it away, so it is good to trade some to expand their fertilizer stock.

There's not much to say this time, because Jess won the petri dish, so the culture medium ended up in Misaka Tsuchimuro's pocket. Li Zheng anticipated this, so he set the starting price very high, only accepting meat of gold quality or higher, and in tons.

Not only does it fill the composting area completely, but there's also some excess material piled up on the open ground, ready to be added to the composting workshop and transformed into materials at any time.

He discovered that the higher the grade of the materials he used for composting, the better the fertilizer produced; hand-rubbing the compost into a culture solution could even increase the yield.

Although the improvement is not significant, it's better than nothing.

Next, Li Zheng began arranging for the auction items to be re-auctioned, and conducted second or even third batches of auctions for gene reagents, aircraft, technology cups, petri dishes and culture media.

The prices of the two subsequent auctions were far lower than those of the first, with the combined revenue from both rounds being only 1.5 times that of the first round.

Looking at the mountain of materials piled up in his residence, Li Zheng felt satisfied.

That's why auction houses are so popular in novels.
This is absolutely outrageous profit!
Especially during the monopoly period, they made an insane amount of money!
Li Zheng thought that if this happened on Earth, he would achieve financial freedom after just one auction, so why would he need to work?
By the time the three rounds of auctions were over, everyone was a bit tired, and the bidding enthusiasm waned. Even the Tech Cup was hard to get a response from them. Only when the petri dish was brought out would the bidding chat become active.

However, Li Zheng did not want to sell too much of this equipment. It was something that could truly reshape the power structure, and selling too much would easily lead to market chaos.

So after the auction of fifty culture dishes in three rounds was completed, Li Zheng frankly stated that he would no longer auction the equipment. This angered many people, who wanted to curse, but were afraid that Li Zheng would kick them, so they swallowed their curses and digested them themselves. Before culture dishes became widespread, intermediate culture medium was only of average value, and Li Zheng could occasionally sell some of it.

Even so, he didn't want to sell too many, because the most crucial ingredient, "catalyst," is a non-renewable resource, and he hadn't yet found a way to obtain it, so Li Zheng had to use it sparingly.

After learning that the petri dishes would no longer be auctioned, the comments section seemed to lose momentum.

In fact, the auction is almost over now.

As is customary, the last two items in the auction are absolutely worth more than the items auctioned earlier.

So this apparent decline is all an act for show; everyone is holding their breath, ready to snag the last two items!

"Happy times always pass too quickly, and this auction is coming to an end." Li Zheng smiled and said, "I'm sure you'll all be satisfied with the last two items."

"First up, the grand finale: a household-style intelligent humanoid!" Li Zheng pinched his fingers and tossed out an intelligent humanoid that was almost identical to a real person.

This is a newly made housekeeping doll, whose appearance was meticulously crafted by Li Zheng according to the limits of popular aesthetics.

Both her figure and appearance are impeccable and flawless.

In fact, Li Zheng had initially hesitated about whether to include the housekeeping dolls in the auction.

After all, these intelligent humanoids look so much like real people that selling them would give Li Zheng the illusion of human trafficking.

After several hours of internal struggle, Li Zheng finally decided to sell only one unit.

Because the housekeeping doll is only of the Iron rank and has no combat ability, even if it is sold, it will not pose any threat to me.

Furthermore, intelligent humanoids are ultimately not real people; they are merely humanoid props.

Once you overcome the psychological barrier, selling a few units isn't unacceptable.

While creating the intelligent humanoid this time, Li Zheng discovered a function that didn't exist before—accessory attachment.

While creating the intelligent humanoid, you can equip it with any props you own as needed. As long as the final matching is appropriate, it can be created.

Li Zheng tried it out, and found that the AI ​​core and the technology cup he currently possessed could both be integrated into the intelligent humanoid.

The AI ​​core can add a learning ability to the intelligent humanoid, giving it a chance to master some tasks that are not limited to a particular model.

For example, a domestic robot equipped with an AI core could potentially learn to operate the gene-making station without being noticed, thus taking away jobs from the engineering robots.

Or perhaps they can learn simple fighting techniques and acquire some combat ability.

However, due to the limitations of their main material, their combat ability is destined to be weak, so teaching them combat skills would be a complete waste of time.

The implications of having a tech-enabled cup are obvious, so I won't elaborate.

The item Li Zheng is auctioning this time is a female-looking housekeeping machine equipped with a technology cup.

"It truly satisfies the needs of both sexes! Starting bid: two Gold-grade Lightning-type power items!"

The starting price for a Black Iron-grade intelligent humanoid was set at an absurdly high level, more so than any previous auction item!
