Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day - Chapter 22

Chapter 22 Awake

“???”

Li Zheng was dumbfounded when he saw William’s message.

This B…

Didn’t Feng Shan say that he had already used his speaker this morning?

How did he send another message to the world channel?

Could it be…

Li Zheng thought of a possibility.

“F*ck, where did this b*stard get the extra speaker? Instead of doing proper business, you’re here to cause trouble for me?”

Li Zheng gritted his teeth in anger, but the two of them were not on the same channel, and he had no speaker now, so he could only vent his anger on Feng Shan.

He unblocked him and sent a private message.

(Do you want snake grass needles?]

Feng Shan, who had already cleared all ten rooms, was happily chatting on the regional channel. When he saw Li Zheng’s private message, he opened it and was a little confused.

(What are you up to this time?)

(You still want to mess with me?)

Feng Shan hesitated for a while, then decided to be tough and refuse him.

[No!)

(The player has blocked you for 12 hours. You can’t send private messages.]

The private message failed to be sent. Feng Shan was furious. He punched the wall of the capsule subconsciously.

[Illegal modification. The capsule is damaged. Please repair it in time.]

“F*ck!”

After chatting on the regional channel for a long time, Feng Shan’s good mood was ruined. With tears in his eyes, he decided to use some materials to repair his capsule.

Regional channel.

(Feng Shan: “@Lizheng, your mom is dead!”]

Li Zheng, who was in the middle of trading with someone else in his private chat, was notified by the system that someone mentioned him in the regional channel. He opened the channel and saw Feng Shan scolding him.

There were ignorant people who were watching the drama.

(Li Chun: “What’s wrong? Why are you so angry?”]

[Lu Li: “Li Zheng? Isn’t this the guy who sold poisonous meat in the morning? He was just selling snake grass needles in the world channel just now, did your negotiation with him fail?”]

(Li Chun: “It’s the Li Zheng who told us to block Lin Fengjiao yesterday.”]

[Lu Li: “No matter who it is, if they mess with Feng Shan, they are my enemies! @Lizheng your mom is dead!”]

Oh my, this little bootlicker.

Li Zheng’s eyes narrowed as he began to type a message.

(@Lu Li, kid, you’re testing me.)

After sending the message, Li Zheng opened the trading room and listed three snake grass needles without specifying a price

Soon, Li Chun sent a message in the regional channel and asked in surprise. [“@Li Zheng, is this free?”]

(Li Zheng: “Yeah, I like you, so I’m giving it to you to protect yourself.”]

[Li Chun: “Thank you, brother!”]

Li Chun was overjoyed. He got a bronze-grade item just like that. Where else could he find such a good thing?

Feng Shan was speechless.

Lu Li was speechless.

[Passerby: “@Li Zheng boss, you look familiar!”]

[Passerby A: “+1!”]

[Lu Li: “@Li Zheng, boss…I mean, dad…I’m sorry! Pity me! Give me two snake grass needles, I need to protect myself!”]

[Li Zheng: …]

[Li Xhun: …]

(Feng Shan: “??? Does your mom know that you’ve been calling strangers dad?”] [Lu Li: “Money is everything. Why should I care?”]

[Passerby: “How filial.”]

[Li Zheng: “@Lu Li, you’re shameless like me, I’ll reward you!”)

30 seconds later.

[Lu Li: “Viper grass needle! From today on, you are my real father! Muah!”]

The regional channel was silent for a moment, then messages began to flood the screen.

[Passerby: “@Li Zheng, dad!”]

[Passerby A: “@Li Zheng, grandpa!”]

[Passerby B: “@Li Zheng, great-grandpa!”]

Li Zheng sat in the cold room, listening to them calling him “dad”.

However, he did not bother with them.

He wasn’t a sucker. He only gave Li Chun and Lu Li the snake grass needles to piss Feng Shan off.

“But I can’t bully him too much. I have to give him some benefits. Otherwise, it’ll be awkward when we meet in the future.”

Li Zheng thought about it for a moment, then gave Feng Shan a deal. He offered five snake grass needles in exchange for 100 milliliters of water.

After that, Li Zheng ignored the mentions in the regional channel and focused on bargaining with the players in the private chat who wanted to trade for snake grass needles. He made dozens of deals for 100ml of water.

This price was a huge loss for Li Zheng at the current stage.

However, he urgently needed a large amount of water, so he had to sell the snake grass needles in order to maximize his water supply.

na

Interestingly, during this period, a player named “Shunwa Kato” from Japan angrily rebuked William Houston on the world channel. He said that William was jealous of Li Zheng and was a racist.

Perhaps William Houston did not have a speaker anymore, so he did not retort.

At first, Li Zheng was curious as to why a Japanese player would speak up for him.

Not long after, he saw Shunwa Kato’s private message and understood.

“I have a liter of water here. Can you give me a friendly price?”

It seemed that this guy was trying to get more benefits from the deal.

Li Zheng sighed. As expected of a profiteering merchant.

Was it not worth it?

After some consideration, Li Zheng replied, “The price I give others is 100 ml of clean water for one snake grass needle. I can give you 13 for a liter of water.”

“Nice!”

Shunwa Kato was very satisfied with the price and replied. “You’re a smart person, and doing business with smart people is always a very pleasant thing. If I may ask, why do you want so much water?”

Li Zheng looked at the message and replied, “I’m taking a bath.”

“Hehe.”

The other party obviously didn’t believe this, but he tactfully didn’t ask further.

After half an hour of hard work, Li Zheng finally replied to all the private messages and saw a unique message.

[0000878 Liu Jiale: “I don’t have any extra water, but are you interested in this?” (3D Imaging device (consumable)] ]

(3D imaging device (consumable). Black-iron-grade.)

[The user can create a 3D projection which moves according to the target set by the user.]

[Duration: 10 seconds)

“Good stuff!”

Li Zheng’s interest was immediately piqued, and sent a private message to inquire about the price.

(Ten snake grass needles in exchange for one imaging device.”]

Liu Jiale’s price made Li Zheng’s eyes twitch.

He had never seen someone so greedy.

A black-iron-grade item, and a consumable at that, for ten bronze-grade snake grass needles?

If he used all ten snake grass needles against a bronze-grade matrix creature, he might be able to trade one for one if he was lucky.

The flesh and blood that were decomposed could be used further.

As long as they didn’t encounter any creatures above bronze-grade, ten snake grass needles were enough for a player to run amuck in the matrix for three to five days!

For someone like Li Zheng, who had casually used over forty snake grass needles, only to waste twenty-five in the end…

Let’s not talk about it anymore.

[“Two.”]

[“Eight!”)

[“No way, four!”)

[“At least six!”]

(Forget it, it’s not worth it. I don’t want it anymore.”]

“If you don’t want to, then forget it!”

(“…”)

[“Five!”)

[“Deal!”)

Tsk.

Li Zheng’s teeth ached. Didn’t he say he wouldn’t fall for it?

How did it end up in a deal?

And in such a straightforward manner?

“Damn it, only because it is useful to me. If you come to me at another time, I’d not entertain you at all.”

Thirty seconds later, Li Zheng’s final transaction was completed. An egg-sized metal object that looked like a camera appeared in his hand.

The moment he got his hands on the item, Li Zheng immediately understood how to use it. It was as if the system had brought the instructions along with the transaction.

With a flip of his hand, Li Zheng picked up his pace and began to work.

In this transaction, he had used a total of 450 snake grass needles to exchange for nearly 50 liters of water.

There were definitely a lot of players in the matrix who still had extra water, but they didn’t need snake grass needles, so they didn’t trade with Li Zheng.

Li Zheng didn’t mind buying more water.

50 liters of water was actually not much.

However, if it was divided into small bottles of 500ml, then it would seem more.

A huge pile of water bottles formed a small mountain in front of Li Zheng.

“Now, it’s time to show my true skills!”

Li Zheng took a deep breath, opened a bottle of water, and poured it all over the floor.

After pouring one bottle, he opened another.

Li Zheng quickly created a path between the metal door and the leader of the ice giants.

In the low temperature environment, the water slowly condensed into a mottled ice road.

Li Zheng nodded in satisfaction after testing the smoothness of the ice road.

“This should be enough.”

Li Zheng walked to the front of the ice giant leader and stepped on its dark blue, translucent body. He shifted the gravitational force and walked up.

The target, the platinum-grade material, the flaming ice flower, was within reach.

Li Zheng grabbed the red flower and pulled it out from the giant leader’s knee, along with its roots and leaves.

The next moment, a deafening roar shook the heavens!
