Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 59 A Brief PK (Thanks to "Two Bells" for the 1500 points!)
"Quick victory."

Fengshan saw the new player release the capsule dwelling and go inside to tinker with something. Just in case, he decided to end the battle with the giant wolf as soon as possible.

"Explosion - Sixfold Amplification!"

"Boom!"

Fengshan left a trail of afterimages as he leaped high into the air, landing on the giant wolf's neck, grabbing its fur with one hand and raising his fist with the other.

"Burst - Fivefold Amplification!"

Kongkongkong!
A series of dull thuds rang out as Feng Shan's fists, each carrying immense force, slammed into the back of the giant wolf's head.

"Woo~"

The giant wolf, lying on the ground, was struck hard, its mind became confused, its vision gradually blurred, and it let out mournful howls, as if begging for mercy.

Kongkong...

Feng Shan remained unmoved, his eyes filled with arrogance and conceit.

This beast, is he begging for mercy now?

If you are in a weaker position and beg for mercy, will it let you go?

Kong!
"Woo..."

The giant wolf's pupils dilated, and it let out a final mournful howl. Blood, mixed with the red and white matter that had been smashed into a paste, flowed from its crooked mouth.

"break down!"

Fengshan sat upright on the wolf's corpse and decisively dismembered it.

After the wolf carcass disappeared and he landed steadily, Fengshan looked at where Li Zheng was and walked over step by step.

……

"This kid is so petty. I just upset you a couple of days ago, is it really necessary for him to want to beat me up the moment we meet?"

Li Zheng was busy at the gene-based drug production table, producing tubes of drugs that then entered his stomach, transforming into energy to strengthen his body.

"If I didn't have the Eye of Preys, you might have actually succeeded."

"But now..."

Li Zheng continued working, drinking the last vial of Black Iron 5+ Limit potion, and closed his eyes to feel the surging power within his body.

"It's really hard to say who will beat whom."

Turning around, she walked outside, with Sakura flapping her wings and following beside her.

As Li Zheng stepped out of his residence, Fengshan stopped a short distance away. He greeted her with a smile, "Hello, little Fengfeng."

"Someone surnamed Li!?"

When Fengshan saw Li Zheng's face clearly, he immediately remembered how he had been so angered by the other party that he had smashed the capsule dwelling several times a day, and how much material he had spent just repairing the capsule dwelling.

"Who are you calling Little Phoenix?!"

Feng Shan's eyes twitched, anger rising in his heart. He took off the half-finger-shaped metal gauntlet that had been hanging from his waist and slowly put it on.

"If I don't beat you up, you son of a bitch won't know how to behave!"

"Explosion - Triple Boost!"

After putting on his boxing gloves, Feng Shan appeared in front of Li Zheng in the blink of an eye without even saying hello, and threw a punch at Li Zheng's nose without any explosive amplification.

"That's pretty fast."

Li Zheng smiled and joked, slightly turning his head to dodge the punch.

Although his Iron 5+ physique meant he wasn't afraid of that punch, Fengshan was wearing metal gauntlets. Even if he wasn't hurt, taking a punch would still be painful.

"What a quick response!"

Feng Shan missed his punch, surprised that Li Zheng could dodge it despite his triple-amplified burst of speed. Hearing the other party's relaxed and teasing tone, his anger intensified.

"Damn it! I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget!"

"Explosion - Double Boost!"

Using the force of his missed punch, Fengshan spun around his waist and jumped, raising his lower limbs high before striking Li Zheng's face with his knee.

"Tsk, are you jealous that I'm more handsome than you? Why do you always like to hit my face?"

Li Zheng bared his teeth and raised his hand to slap Feng Shan's knee.

Snapped!
With his knees and palms meeting, Li Zheng's hand didn't even tremble as he easily blocked the attack.

The combined strength of Black Iron 5+ and the ultimate muscle and bone strength provides power that Fengshan District cannot shake with just two amplifications.

"Humph!"

Fengshan exhaled through his nostrils, grunted, twisted his waist and kicked, and with his fist and elbow, carrying his entire weight, slammed hard into Li Zheng.

"Idiot, don't you know the rule that you can't float in the air during a PK battle?"

Seeing that he was still not giving up and that this elbow strike was aimed at his handsome face again, Li Zheng was so angry that his teeth itched. He decided not to let the other party vent his anger and retaliated directly.

Taking half a step forward, Li Zheng rammed his shoulder into Feng Shan's waist and abdomen, exerting force instantly like a bear leaning against a mountain, sending Feng Shan flying two or three meters away.

Dengdeng.

After landing, Fengshan staggered back two steps to regain his footing. The impact to his abdomen caused a tightness in his chest, and he couldn't catch his breath, causing his face to turn red and white in turns.

Li Zheng didn't pursue, but stood still and said, "You should be glad we're not actually playing an online game, otherwise, given your reckless jump just now, I could have used five skills in a row to keep you from landing for three years!"

"Heh...cough!" Feng Shan caught his breath and sneered, "You should be glad that I only wanted to beat you up and not kill you, otherwise you would have died in the first round if I had gone all out."

If it were a life-or-death battle, Feng Shan would never hold back in his first move; his initial attack would definitely be a boost of six levels or more, not just an ordinary punch.

"uh-huh."

Li Zheng shrugged noncommittally and said, "How many more times can you use your remaining genetic energy? Twice? Or once?"
With my current reflexes, dodging your two full-force attacks shouldn't be a problem.

Once your genetic energy is depleted, with your small frame, you'll be at my mercy, completely at my mercy.

"..."

Feng Shan subconsciously glanced at his remaining genetic energy and realized that Li Zheng was right.

After the depletion from killing the giant wolf, he indeed had very little genetic energy left. If he were to unleash his full power with the seventh-level amplification twice, he would be completely depleted.

"See, I was right!"

Li Zheng certainly didn't guess; he saw the data directly through the Eye of Preys. "But this ability of yours is quite powerful. Is it a fire-type ability developed from that Flame Flower? Has it been upgraded?"

If you're going to pretend, then you should at least pretend convincingly. Li Zheng was asking a question he already knew the answer to.

"..."

Fengshan rubbed his stomach, which was sore from Li Zheng's bump, and hesitated for a moment before answering, "The explosive power of fire element. I've spent a lot of money in the trading hall these past two days to get several fire element items and leveled up a few times."

"Well……"

Li Zheng thought for a moment, then returned to his capsule residence, retrieved an item, and showed the information to Feng Shan.

"The seeds of the Flame Plant?!"

Feng Shan scoffed, "What good is this thing to you? I've asked around these past few days, turned the trading hall upside down, and haven't seen a single tool that can be used to grow things..."

Li Zheng then showed his creation page, which prominently displayed the creation project for a gold-grade petri dish, and the materials were all ready to be used.

At this moment, Feng Shan's expression was particularly interesting.

Three parts disdain; three parts shock; two parts jealousy; two parts regret.

The next second, his expression changed, and Feng Shan put on a very obsequious smile. He ran to Li Zheng's side, patted his back and rubbed his shoulders, and said ingratiatingly, "Brother, you are my real brother. I was just joking with you just now. Please don't take it to heart."

"Yeah, we're all brothers, family... Right, right, move a little to the right. Have you not eaten? You're so weak."

Li Zheng squinted, looking just like a wealthy landlord enjoying Fengshan's hospitality.

Fengshan was so angry at his appearance that she gritted her teeth and used all her strength to massage him, while still trying to coax him in a flattering tone: "How about this? Is this pressure okay?"

"Well, that's pretty much it."

"That flame flower..."

"Tsk, I remember someone had a blueprint for a silver-grade lightsaber?"

"Here, here."

Fengshan took out a black metal rod from his pocket, pressed down on one end, and a sword made entirely of light extended from the other end.

"You see, I knew the materials were hard to find, so I specially made it and was waiting to give it to you as a gift when we met."

He pressed the button again, and the sword disappeared, turning back into a metal rod. Feng Shan gritted his teeth and placed it in Li Zheng's hand. "Look, it's still brand new."

Although his tone was light, Fengshan knew that his heart was bleeding.

The main problem is that even the landlords didn't have much surplus grain!

These past few days have been spent upgrading gene abilities, making gene potions, and finding materials to craft this lightsaber. All my savings have been completely spent.

It's fair to say that if the giant wolf from the wasteland hadn't been dismantled just now, even if the rat had just wandered into his capsule dwelling, it would have come out with tears in its eyes, and would have had to pity it and give it a few measly treats.

Li Zheng put away the lightsaber with a clear conscience, patted Feng Shan on the shoulder with satisfaction, and patted his chest to assure him: "Since you are so sincere, I, as your older brother, cannot be too harsh on you."

Okay, I'll plant the Flame Plant tonight, and I'll send you the Flame Flower when it matures.

Two!

"Ouch."

Feng Shan feigned surprise and bowed, saying, "Then thank you very much, elder brother."

"Sigh~ We're family, why say thank you? It makes us seem distant!"

"It should, it should."

"Oh, right."

As if suddenly remembering something, Li Zheng asked abruptly, "I see that you collect materials much faster than others, even Zhan Zhouzhou is a bit slower than you. Is there some secret to it?"

Upon hearing this, Fengshan's pupils contracted for a moment.
