Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Teaching how to condense nodes doesn't take much time.

Li Zheng quickly guided Mudala through the process, and then let her try to condense it herself, while he watched from the side to prevent any accidents.

Mudala's mental strength is not weak. According to the current calculation method in the outer city, he should be called a quasi-purple level, which means he has begun to absorb quasi-purple level magic crystals.

Only Li Zheng knew that this level was nothing, even a false level of strength.

After the first node is successfully formed, Mudala's mental strength will actually decrease significantly, and it will not be comparable to its current strength until she forms the fourth node.

But in terms of foundation, it is definitely hundreds or even thousands of times deeper than it is now!
Miriel only condensed two nodes, yet she was able to influence the ape-man whose mental power was comparable to that of a purple-level being.

Although it eventually couldn't hold on any longer and had to stop, this also shows how powerful the potential of authentic spiritual energy nodes can be.

Half an hour later, Mudala condensed the first node, and his spiritual body jumped out of the node, causing it to rise into the air and adorn the empty spiritual world above.

A lone person stands on the barren and desolate land.

A solitary node hangs in the empty, desolate sky.

The two contrasted each other, making the place seem even more "poor and shabby," and Li Zheng couldn't bear to look any longer.

Mudala was the loneliest person he had ever met, so lonely that it was almost heartbreaking.

It's hard to imagine what sustained her for over thirty years without her going insane, given her impoverished inner world.

Not long after leaving Mudala's mental world, she opened her eyes, a hint of excitement in her voice: "So this is the true path for the subsequent development of mental power!"

Upon hearing this, Li Zheng's heart stirred: "I'll ask you one more time, has the Heavenly Will Organization contacted you?"

“No.” Mudara shook her head unexpectedly. Li Zheng thought she was going to deny it again, but she continued, “The Heavenly Will Organization is looking for more than just me, but the entire Destruction Clan… or rather, the previous patriarch of the Destruction Clan, who is also one of the Holy Maidens.”

That saintess was the member of the Destruction Clan who taught Mudala the wrong way to use the slave contract, and she was also the previous patriarch of the Destruction Clan.

"So you said before that the other tribesmen left more than 30 years ago... actually they colluded with the Heavenly Will Organization and changed their tribe's settlement?" Li Zheng asked, puzzled. "But why would they keep you here to continue fulfilling the previous contract?"

“I don’t know either.” Mudala was equally puzzled: “Perhaps… the previous chieftain wanted to use me to infiltrate the outer city? After all, the way she taught me to sign contracts was completely the opposite. I can’t think of any other purpose besides infiltrating the outer city.”

Mudala, influenced by the contract, would never lie to Li Zheng; every word he spoke at this moment came from the bottom of his heart.

Li Zheng asked, "Now that you've infiltrated the outer city, what are your plans for the future?"

He promised Mudala that after teaching her how to form a knot, he would give her the opportunity to choose whether to leave.

"I want to know your truest thoughts when you are not affected by the contract, not the decisions you make when you are controlled by the contract."

"I..." Mudala said in confusion, "I don't know either. My only goal in life was to wait for you in that place and enter the outer city with you. The reason I wanted to learn how to break through the limit of mental power was because I thought that after learning it, I would have a chance to get rid of the influence of the defeated contract. But... I don't know what to do in the future. The previous chieftain didn't make any arrangements."

She thought about it carefully and asked, "If the Destruction Clan really is colluding with the Heavenly Will Organization, are you going to deal with them?"

"Not necessarily." Li Zheng said truthfully, "An enemy's friend is not necessarily an enemy. As long as the Destroyer Clan does not take the initiative to attack me, I will not deliberately cause them trouble."

"Why?" Mudala asked, puzzled. "The previous chief taught me the method of reverse contract, which was already a betrayal of you once. Aren't you angry?"

"Angry?" Li Zheng looked at Mudala strangely. "I think you're more interested in dealing with them than I am."

Mudala's words implied an attempt to incite Li Zheng to seek revenge against the Destroyer Clan.

“More than thirty years of solitude has been like imprisoning me in a cage,” Mudala said. “How could I not avenge such resentment?”

Over the past thirty years, Mudala has come to understand one thing: why should his life be arranged by others?
She couldn't bring herself to take revenge on the previous clan leader because she was a member of the clan that had destroyed it.

But things are different now. She has followed Li Zheng and become part of the outer city, belonging to the opposing camp to the Wilderness People, which gives her an excuse to take revenge.

"So your life goal has changed from freedom to revenge?" Li Zheng shrugged. "If you can gain my approval in the future, perhaps I can help you." "Thank you," Mudala said softly.

"No need to thank me." Li Zheng waved his hand. The reason he made such a promise was simply because he believed that since the Destruction Clan had colluded with the Heavenly Will Organization, they would definitely not remain unscathed and would inevitably clash with him in the future.

At that point, he and Mudala will essentially have the same enemy, and helping them will just be a side effect.

At this moment, Feng Yue walked to the greenhouse entrance: "Master Guide, the matter has been completed."

"So fast?" Li Zheng walked out of the greenhouse.

Miriel took his arm: "It's been half an hour. Five minutes ago, those two brothers' voices were hoarse from shouting and they couldn't make a sound."

Feng Yue said apologetically, "I may have been a little too heavy-handed. Please forgive me, Master."

Is it heavy?

not heavy.

Li Zheng could tell from the information given by Preers' Eye that although Tiger Two and Tiger Three were lying there like mud, occasionally twitching, they were actually unharmed.

What Feng Yue did was very simple; he simply disassembled and reassembled the joints on Hu Er and Hu San's bodies several times, treating them like building blocks.

"Do you two know you're wrong?" Li Zheng walked over and asked with a stern face.

Tiger Two and Tiger Three: "Understood, boss."

Li Zheng asked again, "Where did you go wrong?"

Tiger Three: "I shouldn't have gone to see Little Flower... Waaaaah..."

Tiger Two: "I shouldn't have gone to the casino."

Li Zheng asked again, "Anything else?"

besides?

Tiger Two endured the near-numb pain in his joints, wondering, "Did I do something wrong?"

Tiger Sanzang, unable to contain his thoughts, said directly, "I don't know."

"The lesson wasn't learned enough."

Upon hearing Li Zheng's words, Tiger Two and Tiger Three trembled all over: "We were wrong! We were all wrong! Boss, please forgive us!"

The feeling of clearly sensing one's joints being slowly disassembled and then slowly put back into place terrifies them, and they never want to experience it a second time.

What Li Zheng was most unhappy about was that Hu Er and Hu San hadn't yet worked hard enough to earn a living like their eldest brother, Kota.

Tiger Two does have ideas for making money, but they are all crooked ideas. He always thinks about making a fortune in the casino, which is no different from daydreaming.

Tiger was in a terrible state. Not only did he not want to make money, but he also wanted to spend his money recklessly in brothels. He just hoped that someone would take pity on him and help him out like Kota did.

To be honest, if Li Zheng were even slightly heartless, he would have driven away Hu Er and Hu San and told Kota not to associate with them anymore.

Even worse, they would openly give them some money, but secretly send someone to take them to some stinking ditch, disguised as a simple attack or assassination.

Anyway, they often find a few corpses in those stinking ditches outside the city. Two more or less won't make a difference.

"Alright, get up and come with me." Li Zheng felt it necessary to shatter their illusions and get the two of them to go out with him.
