Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day - Chapter 19

Chapter 19: Another Special Item

Li Zheng had no idea how Feng Shan reacted, and he did not want to know either.

“However, the reward from the treasure chest was really unexpected. I didn’t think that I could actually get a gold-grade item from a bronze treasure chest.”

Li Zheng’s emotions were still surging.

Although it was just a material, there was a possibility that he might get a gold-grade blueprint.

“I wonder what kind of gold-grade item I might get next time.”

Li Zheng’s eyes widened as his thoughts ran wild.

After all, he had a chance to draw a treasure chest every day. As long as he survived in the matrix, he would one day be able to draw a high-grade treasure chest.

“It’s still too early for that. It’s too early to have this dream.”

Li Zheng thought he was getting ahead of himself. With a self-deprecating smile, he tried his best to calm down.

“The most important thing now is to make the gravity boots first, and then we can start today’s exploration.”

Li Zheng took out the blueprint for the gravity boots and opened the crafting page.

“Although I have a lot of food, I am lacking water supply. I only have two bottles of water that were given at the beginning. Now, I only have one bottle left.”

While waiting for the equipment to be completed, Li Zheng was thinking about today’s exploration.

“I can survive today with just 500ml of water. However, it’s best to get more soon. ”

“There’s a room with food behind the metal door at the top. Since I have the gravity shoes, let’s start there.”

As he thought about it, the system notified him that the item was completed.

A pair of metal shoes appeared in front of Li Zheng.

It was metallic white and looked like a pair of pure metal shoes. It looked heavy.

Li Zheng was surprised to find that the shoes fit perfectly on his feet. Even though they were made of metal, they were much softer than he had imagined. It was as if he was wearing a thin layer of iron.

There was a hidden compartment at the heels of the shoes, which was the power core chamber. Since the two power cores were included in the crafting process, he could immediately activate them.

“Let’s try them. ”

Reverse!

Li Zheng muttered in his heart. He instantly felt light-headed and he was falling to the ceiling.

“F*cking idiot, I forgot to change direction!”

Seeing that his head was about to hit the roof, Li Zheng quickly chanted “reverse” in his heart and changed the gravity back.

Bang! Bang!

He landed heavily.

In less than two seconds, Li Zheng traveled three meters.

Fortunately, he was mentally prepared for the fall from a height of three meters. Otherwise, he might have broken his bones.

“That’s not how one uses the shoes.”

Li Zheng wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.

After thinking for a while, he walked to the corner of the room and pressed his body against the wall.

“Turn!”

This time, he only turned 90 degrees. The direction of gravity changed, and he was lying on the wall.

He stood up from the wall, walked, ran, and jumped.

It was as if he was walking on flat ground.

“I see!”

From a third person’s point of view, Li Zheng was standing straight on the wall.

“Try the ceiling again.”

He went to the corner between the ceiling and the wall and repeated the same trick.

This time, Li Zheng was able to stand on the ceiling, hanging upside down like a bat.

Because the gravity shoes changed the direction of the gravity around him, Li Zheng wouldn’t damage his brain even though he was hanging upside down.

After a few tries, Li Zheng familiarized himself with the controls and was now able to switch easily.

As long as one foot was stepped on the wall or the ground, the gravitational force would change accordingly.

After walking a full circle along the walls and ceiling, Li Zheng returned to his capsule and called Chirpyout.

“Chirpy, we should go.”

“Chirp, chirp.”

Chirpy flew out obediently and sneaked into Li Zheng’s shirt pocket, revealing its little head.

He put his original shoes back into the capsule, shrunk it down, and kept it. He skillfully used the gravitational shoes and quickly opened the metal door at the top.

“Chirp, chirp?”

Li Zheng stood in front of the metal door. Chirpy’s pink and tender little claws were tugging at the edge of his pocket, looking at the world that had completely turned around, its eyes filled with curiosity.

It did not understand how Li Zheng had done it.

“Chirp, chirp, chirp!”

It wanted to climb out and see if it could stand on the roof upside down.

Li Zheng quickly pressed it down and warned, “don’t move,”

Perhaps it was because Chirpy was in his pocket, the change in gravity also affected her.

If it was allowed to leave, it might fall instantly to the ground.

The metal door was on the ceiling, so now it was basically under his feet.

As usual, he was a little worried about the door under him.

“I know!”

After a moment’s thought, Li Zheng sat by the door. He stuck his feet into the curtain of light, held the door frame with both hands, and sank his body down bit by bit.

When his waist was lowered as well, Li Zheng did his best to bend himself into the shape of a shrimp, maintaining the gravity, and sent both his hands forward.

“Ta!”

The film dissipated, and Li Zheng’s feet touched the ground. An upside-down room appeared before his eyes.

“Sure enough, it works.”

Seeing that his method was effective, Li Zheng walked down the wall.

Everything returned to normal, and Li Zheng headed straight for the material storage tank in the middle of the room.

This time, the room was not big and was very empty. There was only a single storage tank.

Before he even got close, the detector displayed some information.

[Material storage tank, a device used to store food in the matrix. There may be some things that are left in there.]

[It is recommended to destroy it before you leave after taking the items. Perhaps you will be surprised.]

“Eh?”

Li Zheng was surprised. “It’s a lot more powerful after the upgrade. Previously, when it was silver-grade, it would only provide the first-half of the description. But now, it’s telling me to destroy it?”

However, when he explored the first room yesterday, he already accidentally discovered this piece of information, so this was no new knowledge.

“It would be great if it could tell me how to disassemble and preserve important materials. If there really is such a function, I should continue to upgrade it.”

Li Zheng muttered as he opened the container.

The “refrigerator” door opened, and Li Zheng was slightly taken aback.

This time, it was filled with a lot of things, almost full.

It was unlike the two that were broken down yesterday, which were both empty.

Li Zheng was a little disappointed when he didn’t see a bottle of water.

He took out everything.

Five ginseng flowers.

Two honey fruits.

One pomegranate melon.

…

“The glands of the silk-spider? What the hell is this?”

Finally, Li Zheng took out a pale yellow object that looked like a pig’s stomach from the storage container.

[Silk-spider gland, silver-grade, material.]

[There is a small chance of obtaining this by decomposing elite-grade silk-spiders. It can be used for crafting.]

[Silk-spider gland, silver-grade, material.]

[There is a small chance of obtaining this by decomposing elite-grade silk-spiders. It can be used for crafting.]

[After consuming it, there is a 50% chance of obtaining one of the silk-spider’s abilities.]

Two messages appeared before Li Zheng’s eyes.

The first one came from matrix’s system prompt.

The second was the information given by the detector.

“When the detector is of silver-grade, it provides the same information as that from the matrix system.”

“Oh?” Li Zheng rubbed his chin. “But after it’s upgraded to gold-grade, it will also provide information about unfamiliar items?”

Li Zheng noticed something when he sent the information about the snake grass needles to Feng Shan.

If an item was unfamiliar to him, the matrix system would not give any hints.

The system would only add the known effect to the item’s description after he had tried it himself.

For example, Feng Shan had never seen snake grass needles before, so when he looked at them, the system only showed him the basic information.

That was what Li Zheng was reading at first.

However, after killing the terror bat, he had tested out the effects of the snake grass needles, which was why the matrix system had shown him different information.

However, the gold-grade detector proved that Li Zheng could ignore the testing step to know their uses!
