Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day-Chapter 51 - 49 "Thank You, Mr. Li Zheng" (Thanks to "Huaxia Shuyu" for the 2,000 points reward)

Chapter 51: Chapter 49 "Thank You, Mr. Li Zheng" (Thanks to "Huaxia Shuyu" for the 2,000 points reward)

"Blood and Qi Transformation!"

Li Fan raised his head to face a dark barrel of a gun, decisively activating his Gold Level genetic ability to tackle the impending attack.

"Hmph!"

"Ice and Fire Attachment - Fire Element!"

"Boom!"

Li Zheng let out a cold snort, his Desert Eagle spewing rage, as magma bullets burst forth from the barrel.

The opponent fired, and Li Fan instinctively tilted his head to dodge, only to feel a sharp pain in his chest.

Looking down, he saw a massive void blasted into the armor formed by the Blood and Qi Transformation, where the flesh and blood inside were blurred, with the faint outline of a heart beating between the cracks of broken ribs.

"At such close range, if I don’t aim at such a large target as your heart, let alone a headshot, do you think I’m one of those brain-dead villains from TV dramas?"

With a successful hit, Li Zheng thought smugly, but he didn’t voice it out loud.

"Any last words?"

Li Zheng adjusted the recoil of his Desert Eagle, pointing at Li Fan once more, his tone indifferent.

"This... how could it..."

"Boom!"

The flames spat, and Li Fan’s head exploded like a watermelon.

"Sorry, you’re not qualified for last words."

Li Fan’s body fell lifelessly to the ground, his S686 dropping to the side, and the blood qi gradually faded, as an Identity Card emerged on the surface of his corpse.

"Gold level ability, dreaming of defending against my Platinum level Ice and Fire Attachment? What kind of character did I take you for? Turns out you’re so weak, great, saved me two Snake Grass Needles."

Li Zheng jumped down from the stone, picked up the S686 and the Identity Card, not sparing another glance at the headless corpse, and turned to leave.

Returning to his capsule dwelling, Li Zheng had just entered the door when Little Sakura flew back from a distance.

"Well done!"

Li Zheng gave it a thumbs up, generous with his praise.

"Ying Ying."

Little Sakura puffed up its chest, accepting the compliment.

The little creature had been asleep but was awakened by Li Fan’s two shots, unhappily got up to see, but couldn’t find Li Zheng.

Fearing Li Zheng might be in danger again, the little creature went out searching.

Afterward, Li Zheng arranged for it to use its Fast Flight ability, circling around Li Fan to monitor his actions.

He himself took advantage of the commotion from Little Sakura’s flight to quietly approach.

Thanks to his enhanced body, as long as he carefully controlled it, he wouldn’t make much noise while moving.

With Little Sakura occasionally causing distractions, Li Zheng managed to get behind Li Fan without being noticed.

In fact, Li Zheng had been perched atop the rock above Li Fan for quite some time.

Initially, he wanted to quickly resolve the opponent, a swift and decisive win.

But on second thought, wouldn’t that be too kind to Li Fan?

So, he silently waited, allowing the opponent to fully experience the dramatic rise and fall before death.

After reassuring Little Sakura and sending it back to rest, Li Zheng found himself energized by the battle.

After a moment’s pause, he recalled he hadn’t used the loudspeaker today, so he decided to use it now.

World Channel: 0000879 Li Zheng: "Li Fan has been executed, everyone don’t worry [Identity Card Information Photo]. By the way, [Snake Grass needle] for large amounts of Black Iron Level and Bronze Level blood, the more the better, all are welcome!"

The regional channel had already been bought by him once today, the blood stockpile was low.

This time, he expanded his business directly into the world channel; with the manufacturing station still reasonably powered, he intended to stockpile some Black Iron level 4+ or 5+ limit potions first.

Additionally, he was preparing for future promotion to Bronze level.

As for Silver level materials, it wasn’t that Li Zheng didn’t want to collect them, but using Snake Grass needles for trade couldn’t acquire much, the cost-effectiveness was too low, not worthwhile.

Evidently, once the Matrix entered the night, few players were still exploring, most either resting, conserving energy.

Or like Phoenix Mountain and his group, still "chit-chatting in groups".

As soon as Li Zheng’s loudspeaker message went out, someone responded immediately.

The first to respond was Chu Xiao.

This player, who knew what channels he controlled, had so many loudspeakers it was alarming; he had already used several during the day and could still speak now.

World Channel: 0000001 Chu Xiao: "Judging by the information, it is indeed Li Fan who escaped from Channel 1. Hard work, Mr. Li Zheng."

World Channel: 1155247 William Houston: "Attention-seeking! You Eastern Realm people are the best at internal conflict, even in the Matrix Game you’re still killing each other, true national traits. I urge players worldwide not to trade with these yellow-skinned bastards, isolate them!"

William Houston’s water business had been disrupted, and he was eager to find a way to get back at Li Zheng, so the loudspeaker provided him the perfect opportunity.

He was certain that loudspeakers were hard to obtain, meaning Li Zheng could only take the loss silently, unable to counter his comments.

Even if Li Zheng had another loudspeaker, he wasn’t concerned. In his channel, some were in cahoots with him and would voice support.

Li Zheng truly couldn’t retaliate, but William’s comments angered other players from the Eastern Realm, prompting immediate responses.

Among them were players who had a good relationship with Li Zheng from the same channel.

World Channel: 0000879 Yan Guang: "White-skinned monkey, what crap are you spewing? Do you have any idea what image your Western Country presents internationally? Wait, when I get a Space Jumping Device, you’ll be the first I come to chat with! I won’t stop until your mother can’t recognize you, I swear on my great-grandmother!"

World Channel: 0000879 Zhan Zhouzhou: "Which country doesn’t have its share of miscreants? Can Mr. William guarantee your country’s players don’t have someone as insane as Li Fan?"

World Channel: 0000879 Phoenix Mountain: "Nothing to say to these white-skinned monkeys. Our grand Eastern Realm, one country alone outnumbers several of yours. Bring it on if you dare, let’s find a time to compete!"

World Channel: 1000124 Charles de Gaulle: "We French people call for world peace."

World Channel: 0000189 Park Bogu: "What’s this ’your country’, ’his country’ stuff? The whole Earth belongs to our Korea; we’ve filed for a patent!"

World Channel: 0000187 Park Tadu: "Exactly! At most, you’re just renting on our Korean territory, why are you jumping around? Our nation is preparing to patent the Matrix Survival Game too, soon you’ll all have to pay taxes for your daily explorations!"

World Channel: 0000023 Kato Junwa: "See? This is what ’true national traits’ look like."

...

The World Channel was in an uproar, but Li Zheng paid no heed, as he was swamped with private messages.

Rather than using Snake Grass Needles to trade for water resources, other players preferred exchanging seemingly useless blood for a few weapon-worthy Snake Grass Needles.

Thus, this trade session saw more than tenfold the response compared to yesterday!

It took a full two hours for Li Zheng to process all the private messages, ultimately using nearly three thousand Snake Grass Needles to obtain a substantial collection of Black Iron Level biological blood.

Bronze level blood, in comparison, was quite scarce, with only a little over a hundred bottles.

Not that there weren’t more willing to exchange Bronze level blood, but most offered prices too high, and Li Zheng rejected them all.

Interestingly, many of these traders were from the same channel as William Houston.

Whenever encountering these players, no matter how low they priced their goods, Li Zheng immediately refused.

Who knew if William was playing both sides, seeking advantage from him?

...

After another three hours, Li Zheng finally finished analyzing all the blood, categorizing them by the maximum they could produce.

He produced several bottles of 2+ limit Black Iron Potions, raising all his four dimensions to two+.

After a prolonged period of continuous work, the manufacturing station’s energy was nearing depletion.

To continue large-scale production later, Li Zheng would need to consume his remaining dozen or so Power Core Type I.

"Energy issues..."

Li Zheng pondered, and decided to bite the bullet by adding a Type I Power Core to the manufacturing station, producing five bottles of 1+ limit Black Iron Potions, and posted the potion info in the area channel.

Li Zheng: "@Phoenix Mountain, @Zhan Zhouzhou, @Yan Guang... Potions for Power Cores, offering inspection before pricing. Also accepting orders for such potions, I’ll sort out the materials later, and only accept Power Cores as payment."

This message was a major slap in the face to those who secretly cursed Li Zheng as a fool during the day.

Everyone thought he was casting a wide net to gather attributes blood.

Nobody expected.

His level was on a whole different plane!

This round?

This round, Li Zheng was in the stratosphere, they were in the Earth’s core.

...

Later that night, in a certain channel and room, another player surrounded by blood qi stared at the photo sent in private chat, seething with murderous intent.

In the photo, a bald man holding a Desert Eagle, looks indifferently towards the camera.

"Li Zheng?"
