Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 602 Mission Progress Update, Ability Changes

"At this rate, we've basically secured our victory in this challenge."

Li Zheng watched as the players appeared one by one in the hall, and there were no unexpected mishaps, which made him feel relieved.

Seizing the opportunity, he deactivated his invisibility and taunted the mechanical creature in return: "Hey, you metal lump! Grandpa's right here!"

Perhaps it was because Tchaikov was the first to use this phrase to mock them and it came out so easily that everyone else just shouted it at the mechanical beings as soon as they were out of stealth.

In just a short while, the mechanical body gained seven more grandfathers...

"Boom!"

Li Zheng rolled over like a lazy donkey, dodging the iron fist that the mechanical body was about to unleash. He then became invisible again, and the mechanical body was lured away by Tchaikov.

After repeating this process several times, Li Zheng and his group actually managed to reach the door opposite the hall.

Li was the first to arrive, and when he tried to open the door, he was horrified to find that it had a combination lock.

Please enter the exact number of players participating in this challenge.

"6"

Li Zheng reacted quickly, pressing a number before anyone else arrived.

Strictly speaking, he lost his player status after entering the outer city, so the number of players present was indeed six.

"Luckily I was the first one here, otherwise others wouldn't know the answer and would have just sent it directly."

Li Zheng muttered to himself, then turned and shouted to the others, "Don't rush over yet. Take the mechanical body for a few laps. This door is locked; it will take a while!"

"OK! Hurry up!"

At this moment, Feng Bujue appeared, dragging the mechanical body. Hearing Li Zheng's shout, he gritted his teeth, turned around, and ran back.

Although the others had some complaints, feeling that designing a lockable door for the terminal was a bit redundant, they couldn't argue because the terminal was the boss.
They hold the final right of interpretation.

Left with no other choice, the six had to change their strategy, excluding Li Zheng from the list, and the six of them worked together to walk around the mechanical body in the hall.

How many ranks are there in the matrix?

Such a basic question?
Li Zheng raised his hand to input the number, but suddenly paused when he pressed the second number "0".

wrong!

There's a trap in this question!

Aside from items that cannot be rated, there are actually only ten tiers used to differentiate strength and the power of weapons and items, which are the ones players encounter most often.

However, in the first few days, Li Zheng actually saw the eleventh rank frequently.

That represents clutter or waste: gray!
Therefore, the answer should be eleven!

Li Zheng moved his finger and typed in the answer.

A second later, the next question appeared, indicating that Li Zheng had indeed answered correctly.

Meanwhile, at another challenger's location, Chen Qianxiang entered "1" as the answer to the first question.

Then the door opened automatically, and there were no further problems.

In another challenger's arena, someone casually entered the wrong answer, and as a result, the mechanical body's arms split apart like a Transformer transforming, revealing two sharp longswords that greatly increased its attack range and even its movement speed by 30%!
Caught off guard, a player was hacked to pieces on the spot, bone fragments mixed with blood and flesh, making them indistinguishable.

Li Zheng, of course, knew nothing of all this. He was also curious about what would happen if he entered the wrong answer, but thankfully he restrained his suicidal thoughts. The third question was even more bizarre:
Please enter the user's birthdate.

"???"

Li Zhengyi had a completely questioning look on his face. What kind of question is this?
Are you not leaving others a way to survive?

Aside from these clones who share some common memories, who else in the entire matrix can answer this question correctly?

Unless there is no right answer to this question, everyone will fail here.

19910909
After entering their birth date, the door made a hissing sound as the hydraulic system loosened, slowly opening to reveal a completely different metal passage behind it.

"The door's open, let's go!"

Li Zheng shouted and was the first to enter the passage, then stood guard at the entrance.

Soon, everyone else came in, leaving only Wang Xiaoshan and Li Minshun outside.

The two dodged the mechanical attacks with incredible speed, adjusting their distance from the safety exit. In the final round, they simultaneously deactivated their invisibility, activated "I can run fast" to accelerate, and rushed in like the wind.

As everyone entered the safety exit, the mechanical body suddenly stopped moving, then the electronic eyes on its head went out, leaving it motionless in its final state.

And its outstretched fist was less than two meters away from the gate!
If Wang Xiaoshan and his companion miscalculate the distance, or if any mistake occurs at the last moment, both of them will be doomed!

"Whoo~"

As soon as Wang Xiaoshan entered the passage, he collapsed to the ground, panting heavily: "That was fucking thrilling!"

To be honest, the physical pressure of this challenge was not great, but in order to avoid problems with coordination, you had to keep your mind on high alert at all times.

One round of challenges consumes energy comparable to the same amount of time spent in high-intensity continuous combat.

“We were lucky, we made the right bet,” Tchaikov said thankfully. He hadn’t expected that after the difficult iron ball race, he could pass the third round of challenges so easily.

"Actually, it's all thanks to Boss Ruizhou's intelligence!" Wang Xiaoshan flattered, "From the very beginning, Boss Ruizhou guessed that the test behind the door would require the third ability, and almost the entire plan was proposed by Boss Ruizhou. Phew... to have the honor of doing a mission with Boss Ruizhou is truly a blessing from our ancestors!"

No one mocked his blatant sycophancy, since he was telling the truth; Li Ruizhou had indeed contributed the most to easily passing the challenge.

"Tchaikov was right, we were just lucky," Li Zheng said calmly. He vividly remembered the third question when the door opened. If he hadn't been in this team, he really didn't know what the final outcome would have been.

“Boss Ruizhou is too modest,” Feng Bujue said from the side. “I am becoming more and more confident in completing the challenge alive. With Boss Ruizhou around, it seems like we have no reason to lose.”

"Yes, yes," Erbatu echoed, feigning simplicity.

Li Zheng glanced at him a couple more times, his eyes filled with vigilance beneath his concealed face.

In the information provided by Lao Pu, the number following Erbatu's name... no, or rather, Agudus's name, is as high as "17"!
This means that a total of seventeen players with no special names died at his hands!
It's hard to imagine that this guy, who has seemed so ordinary and even a bit quiet and introverted from the beginning, is actually a ruthless killer in secret.

If Li Zheng hadn't possessed Preers' Eye, he too would have been fooled by the other party's performance.

This is also one of the reasons why Li Zheng took the initiative to help others during the iron ball race.

After all, Agdus was positioned right in the center of the team, making it incredibly easy for him to kill the two players behind him.

He could never afford the 300 red crystal coin fine for failing the mission, and who knew what coercive measures the terminal would take against him then?
"Hmm?" Tchaikov spoke up at this moment: "The mission progress has finally moved forward one step. We have passed all the levels of the first round of challenger missions and entered the second round!"

Moreover, the abilities that everyone possessed at this time also changed.
