Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 566 Mission
However, even with so many shortcomings, its greatest advantage cannot be overshadowed.

That's... delicious!

That's it?

Li Zheng waited for the Preers' Eye to turn the page, but all he got was this passage, which immediately made him lose his temper.

What's the point of it being delicious?

Even the most delicious food won't work if it's not good value for money...

Li Zheng didn't even want to ask how much the egg cost; he was afraid he wouldn't be able to accept the blow from reality.

"Your expression... could there be something wrong with this egg?" Miriel asked cautiously, noticing Li Zheng's uncertain expression.

Li Zheng shook his head: "Forget it, we've already bought it, so even if there are problems, we can only accept it."

Now we can only hope that these so-called patterned eggs are really as delicious as Old Pu said, and worth the white crystals that Miriel has spent.

"What else did you buy?" Li Zheng rubbed his forehead. "Take them all out and let me see."

"others……"

For the first time, Miriel showed a hesitant expression, opened the last two bags with something written in some kind of foreign script on the surface, and took out two sets of women's clothing: "I bought two sets of clothes to change into."

"Oh, that's alright..." Li Zheng nodded subconsciously, then paused in surprise.

He stared at Miriel for a while, then suddenly realized something he hadn't paid attention to before.

"You don't seem to need to wear clothes, do you?"

Succubi have thick black hair growing on their key parts, giving them a wild and alluring aura.

From a certain perspective, succubi really don't need to wear clothes, because their own body hair is enough to cover their shame.

“I…” Miriel’s cheeks flushed slightly: “I’m a girl too, isn’t it normal to have a little vanity?”

It's logical and well-founded, and it seems there's no way to refute it?
Three black lines appeared on Li Zheng's forehead: "Then what about what you just said that we can both use the things we bought?"

Could this girl be plotting something bad, like wanting me to wear women's clothes?
However, it turned out that he was overthinking it.

Miriel turned her face away and whispered, "Well, when I wear nice clothes, it's also for you to see..."

"For me to see?" Li Zheng pondered the meaning of those words and nodded slightly. "That's more like it."

He didn't think much of it, after all, as his 'pet,' he spent a lot of time with her, and he was the one who saw what she wore most often...

Miriel can't possibly carry a full-length mirror around all the time to admire herself in her beautiful clothes, can she?

Bang!
Li Zheng waved his hand, and a stove appeared in the middle of the road. He said to Miriel, "It's almost lunchtime. I'll leave the rest to you. I'll continue watching the portal. The terminal has already warned me that I'm slacking off."

He waved the temporary official certificate in his hand; it was flashing red, a warning sign of passive resistance to work.

Miriel rolled her eyes and casually tossed both sets of clothes to Li Zheng: "Put them away for me. What do you want to eat tonight? Bring out the ingredients too."

Li Zheng looked down at the clothes in his hand and exclaimed, "Good heavens!"

A complete three-piece black leather outfit; judging by the fabric, the area it covers is much smaller than the area that Miriel's own body hair could cover.

Another set...

"Don't wear this outside." Li Zheng blushed. "The openwork lace is more suitable as pajamas."

“Speaking of which…” He picked up a small piece of fabric and gestured towards Miriel, looking puzzled. “This dress doesn’t suit your figure at all. It’s obviously too big. Did you buy the wrong one?”

"You didn't buy the wrong thing!" Miriel jumped up, snatched the item, and crumpled it into a ball. "Just keep it safe for me, don't worry about the rest!"

Honestly, can't he prepare his clothes for when he grows up?
It's important to know that succubi lose most of their body hair after reaching adulthood, leaving only a small amount on the sides of their heads and the base of their tails. Therefore, adult succubi actually need to prepare some clothing to cover their private parts. However, Li Zheng didn't know this, and Old Pu wouldn't be so bored as to explain such information to him.

"Why are you still angry?" Li Zheng put away the clothes, then took out some ingredients and handed them to Miriel, asking her to prepare dinner. He then sat back down in his chair and continued to watch the deserted portal.

For a time, Li Zheng even harbored some doubts, unsure whether these teleportation portals in the outer city were necessary.

He watched for a long time, and only three people actually used the portal.

One of them was Zhan Zhouzhou, who had returned from the wilderness...

Its utilization rate is so low that it can be completely eliminated!

Even so, the terminal did not relax its requirements for the receptionists who guarded the portals. Even if no one was using the portals, the receptionists could not be distracted for a moment.

Otherwise, a warning will be issued.

If the receptionist ignores the warning, a new record will be added to their resume, and they will be punished when they receive their paycheck.

Li Zheng didn't do nothing all afternoon. He spent several hours researching and finally figured out why Mo Li was able to persevere with such a boring job.

The reason is simple: the salary is very generous!

How generous are they?

Let's say that.

The monthly salary starts at red crystals...

Or rather, it's not that only the receptionists at the portal have such generous salaries, but rather that all public service positions in the outer city offer quite high salaries.

Otherwise, so many people wouldn't be scrambling to obtain a public office status, and the gray market of helping others obtain such status wouldn't exist...

Li Zheng stared boredly at the portal, while Miriel cooked dinner on the street nearby. This bizarre sight drew frequent glances from passersby in the outer city.

In particular, the members of the law enforcement team, smelling the aroma of food wafting away, wanted to come over and stop this behavior several times.

But they ultimately did not do so.

Because Li Zheng is now representing Mo Li, and behind Mo Li stands the renowned Blood-Patterned Black Dragon Clan!
Adhering to the principle of "better to avoid trouble than cause it," the members of the enforcement team ultimately decided...

Let him be!

It's just cooking a meal on the street. As long as he doesn't have the idea of ​​occupying the road for business, they can just pretend they didn't see it.

Setting up street stalls, a business that encroaches on the road, is strictly prohibited in the outer city. One of the responsibilities of the law enforcement team is to intervene in this matter to prevent things like street stalls from appearing in the outer city and affecting the city's appearance.

Basically, every time a new batch of players arrives, the enforcement team gets busy, spending most of their time chasing away those vendors.

That's why law enforcement teams occasionally appear near the portal.

In contrast, the enforcement team is more interested in outsmarting the vendors, because catching one means they can confiscate everything on the stall on charges of violating the outer city security regulations.

However, few people are willing to pay close attention to more serious and outrageous incidents such as fighting, brawling, and murder.

They will only do something seriously if there are sufficiently substantial benefits to be made.

Otherwise, it's just a formality, as long as it's acceptable on the terminal, who cares who the real culprit is?

As the saying goes, swords have no eyes. If someone dies in the line of duty while meddling in other people's business, who will be held responsible?
The veteran players who have survived to this day in the outer city should not be expected to have the awareness of sacrificing their lives for the cause or being selfless. If they really had that awareness, they would not have survived to the next generation of players.

"Li Zheng!"

Just as Miriel finished preparing dinner and was about to eat with Li Zheng, Zhan Zhouzhou ran back from a distance, looking excited: "Guess what mission I got?"
