Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 392 The Star-Ranked Item That Tops the Rankings!
"what?"

Li Zheng glanced at the system's acquisition notification, his expression shifting slightly.

He thought a diamond chest wouldn't yield anything interesting, but to his surprise, there were a few items that piqued his interest.

After getting up and drying himself off, Li Zheng walked out of the bathroom. To his surprise, Mo Dao was holding a change of clothes and was obediently waiting at the door.

"Your spirituality has become so high now?" Li Zheng glanced at it, took the clothes, and put them on.

"Dao Dao itself is highly spiritual; the blood from that twisted creature today only restored some of its power," Demon Blade obediently reported.

"Yes, as long as you listen to me, there will be plenty of opportunities for you to eat your fill in the future." Li Zheng nodded, not too surprised.

The Bloodthirsty Demon Blade is an ancient artifact that exists within the matrix. However, due to its prolonged lack of blood consumption, its rank has decreased, causing its spirituality to be obscured, which is why it appears so foolish.

Now that he has been nourished by fresh blood, it's understandable that he has recovered somewhat.

"Thank you, Master!" the demonic blade exclaimed joyfully, already beginning to get used to its current status.

"Go and rest first. Starting tomorrow, you can eat your fill." Li Zheng patted the back of the demonic sword, letting it find a place to stay.

"Yes! Hang Dao Dao in the most convenient place to protect its master."

After saying that, the demonic blade flew to Li Zheng's bedside on its own, hovering there with the tip pointing downwards.

"..." Li Zheng was silent for two seconds: "Find another place to hang it, but don't let it be within three meters of my bed!"

Damn it, I told you to rest, and you hung it above my bed?

If it falls while I'm asleep, will I die?

'Oh...' The Demon Blade, like a wronged little wife, slowly floated to the edge of the bed three meters away and obediently hovered.

"..." Li Zheng sighed helplessly, "Fine, from now on you'll stay there every night and you're not allowed to wander off."

"Yes, Master! Dao Dao will definitely be good."

The demonic blade spun around once and then stopped moving.

Li Zheng then lay down on the bed with peace of mind and took stock of his day's achievements.

First, the quantity of materials below diamond level is already an alarming number, enough for Li Zheng to squander and create hundreds of gold-grade mechanical mantises.

After thinking for a moment, Li Zheng adjusted the inventory of gold-grade mechanical mantis knives to twenty, silver to three hundred, bronze to five hundred, and iron to eight hundred.

The next second, looking at his living space, Li Zheng silently subtracted a zero from all the three-digit numbers.

Besides these materials, the potion-making station was also busy. After clearing out all the potion inventory today, there were nearly 800 more tubes of potions of different grades.

Li Zheng used the upgrade program to upgrade the production table, and with a casual wave of his hand, the new blueprint was automatically inserted.

He communicated with the first and second workers, prioritizing the production of platinum-level drugs, and then left it to his own devices, figuring he could boost his physique the next morning.

After finishing with the medicine, Li Zheng summoned a citron fruit that had ripened that day and slowly began to eat it.

"By the way, how's that fairy fruit tree doing today?" Li Zheng asked, chewing on a citrus fruit as he sat up.

Fairy Fruit is a powerful artifact for him to enhance his spiritual power. If Ugly Farmer can't cultivate it, wouldn't he be at a loss?
A businessman's rule: If you don't pick something up when you leave home, you'll lose it; if you don't make a deal, you'll lose money!
Jumping out of bed, Li Zheng jogged to the planting area and found three culture dishes marked with Fairy Fruit next to a lush area of ​​Flame Branches.

"Wait... three plants?" Li Zheng was immediately surprised. Didn't he only harvest one plant? How did he end up with three?

Lifting the lid of a petri dish, one could indeed see fairy fruit saplings growing inside.

But this tree... it's gotten thinner.

"Wow! Ugly Farmer is really amazing! One plant turned into three!" Li Zheng checked the other two plants and was surprised to find that they had both survived!

Upon closer inspection and comparison, Li Zheng noticed something was amiss.

Even if the three slender fairy fruit trees were combined, they would still be smaller than the original tree. They would be about two-fifths smaller.

"Two of them didn't survive?" Li Zheng looked at them for a while longer and then realized that wasn't the case.

Because the fairy fruit tree was split lengthwise, the cut was covered with a paste mixed with wood ash, which was from the burning of the other two small trees. This paste mixed with fairy fruit tree ash was the fundamental reason why the other three fairy fruit trees were able to survive.

"It seems this is another work by Ugly Farmer. Although each plant takes three days to grow, I have a Fairy Fruit left in reserve. As long as it can be harvested within ten days, I can continue the work."

The three-day growth period here is only to grow the plant to a state suitable for fruiting, and it is the nutrient solution that enhances the growth rate; otherwise, it would take much longer.

"Not bad, not bad. It's a pity we don't know what Ugly Farmer needs, otherwise we could give him a bonus."

After ensuring the fairy fruit was unharmed, Li Zhengcai returned to bed with peace of mind.

With another casual gesture, several props flew over.

A blue and white USB drive, which can be used to modify capsule dwellings, comes from the wandering merchant: Xiao.

The diamond chest did indeed yield vibranium, not only in sufficient quantity but also with a surplus of 600g, just enough to renovate the residence.

[Confirm the modification of the capsule residence? After modification, the capsule residence will be divided into twelve floors according to the proportions set by the player.]

"confirm!"

The next second, the USB drive transformed into rays of light, outlining the lines of the blueprints in the residence.

A large amount of material was automatically filled in, so the progress was a bit slow.

"As for the other blueprints... we can learn how to make coils first, and then make a few to sell on the market tomorrow."

"As for the electromagnetic pistol blueprints... I've also learned them. The pistol and the coil can be sold separately, so there's no contradiction."

The electromagnetic pistol blueprint comes from today's treasure chest, but due to its type limitations, its value isn't actually that high.

"The blueprints for the animal pen have finally been completed!"

Li Zheng held a USB drive. He had long coveted this design and today his luck had turned around when he opened it from a diamond-level treasure chest.

"But this design can actually be studied?"

"Do you think I can renovate someone else's house?"

"Never mind that, let's learn it first!"

I plugged it into the computer I had brought back before and started learning everything at once.

Unfortunately, we don't have enough vibranium to build the animal enclosure, so we'll have to put that on hold for now.

Finally, in addition to the modules and other materials, there is also a finished prop.

Holographic projection dance flashbang
Rank: Star Glory
Description: Created by the third disciple of the "Blacksmith," this invention is incredibly imaginative and creative, pioneering the most useless invention in the Matrix. Due to its significant historical importance, it has been ranked at the top of the list of the Matrix's most universally recognized useless inventions!
Effect: After the safety is pulled and the item is thrown, the target illuminated by the light will dance awkwardly on the spot, and the dance will be forcibly projected onto all players in the matrix for viewing.

During the dance-off, players are invincible for three minutes and are immune to all damage.

Note: This item can only be used within a matrix.

Yes!

This prop, which is incredibly awful in terms of its effect, is actually a Star-level item!
And it was the only item that I got from this diamond-level treasure chest with a critical hit!

After reading the description, Li Zheng was utterly bewildered.

Blacksmith, oh blacksmith.

Look at what your apprentices are inventing!
As the master, can't you do something about this?
Damn! (`皿)
