Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day - Chapter 26

Chapter 26 Activating the Skills Panel

“So it only took 15 minutes to develop the special-type gene after consuming the flame flower.”

Li Zheng managed to obtain the information from Feng Shan. After comparing the information, he realized that he would need twice as much time.

“Is it because of the grade? Or is it because the flaming ice flower is a dual-element item?”

Both were possible.

However, without more information, Li Zheng could not be sure of the exact reason why he needed so much time.

“The ability developed by a platinum-grade item is definitely more powerful than the flame flower.”

Li Zheng was looking forward to what kind of ability he would get.

“It’s a pity that this brat has become smarter. Otherwise, I could still find a way to get him to reveal his ability…”

“Forget it, let’s not think about it anymore. At least the platinum-grade flaming ice flower has no side effects. This alone is much better than the flame flower that Feng Shan and the others took.”

Li Zheng shook his head. He felt that instead of thinking about that bit of information, he might as well take this opportunity to review the details of the “battle”.

“Speaking of which, I was a little too reckless on this adventure. I didn’t practice in advance. Otherwise, I would have discovered that the gravitational shoes would be damaged by intense friction.”

“Secondly, I didn’t prepare a backup plan, that’s why I was in danger every time the giant used his icicles.”

“At the end of the day, it’s also because I never expected there would be a group of ice giants and a platinum-grade flaming ice flower among them in a safe room.”

Since one couldn’t turn back after leaving a room in the matrix, he couldn’t miss this opportunity.

Otherwise, Li Zheng wouldn’t have rashly taken the risk.

“If I had another chance, what would I do to obtain the flaming ice flower without any injuries?”

Li Zheng pondered, simulating the scenario in his mind.

“Chirpy flies fast. Should I have let it get it while I wait for it at the door?”

“No, it’s too small. It’s usually difficult for her to even lift a single ginseng flower. It might not even be able to pull out something as heavy as the flaming ice flower.” “When Chirpy woke up from the hibernation chamber yesterday, even its wings weren’t fully developed. It’s very likely that it’s a ‘premature baby’. Perhaps other than the wings, there are some defects that even Chirpy itself has yet to discover…”

“For example, Chirpy doesn’t seem to have mastered echolocation like other terror bates. It only got its rapid flight ability after it leveled up.”

“It seems that I had to do it. In this case, Chirpy will only be a burden if it stays with me. I was right to keep her away just now.”

“Then, let me think about it another way. What if I didn’t glide, but instead just changed the gravitational force after jumping up, like the last attempt, could I have escaped mid-flight?”

After a few simulations in his head, Li Zheng realized that not only was this method not feasible, it was even more dangerous.

“First of all, changing gravity is fundamentally different from flying. Once I’m in the air, I can’t control the direction.”

“And once I’m in the air, it’s difficult to ‘brake’ in time. When the group of icicles were rising from the ground, I either crashed into them or changed the direction of gravity.”

“The consequences of crashing into it are undoubtedly the same as jumping off a building. It’s at least equivalent to falling from a height of ten meters. I’ll be disabled on the spot.”

“As for changing the direction of gravity, no matter which direction I picked, I would still have lengthened the escape route. When the ice giant was ready to use its burst again, I would have died.”

“The consequences of reversing the gravitational direction are already known.”

“So, unless I can get more useful props, is there really no other way?”

“Wait! There’s still a way…” A thought flashed through Li Zheng’s mind, and he thought of a possible plan. “If I had placed the capsule under the giant’s feet first, projected the 3D image to attract its attention, and then entered the capsule immediately, wouldn’t I have been able to safely evacuate when it fell into unconsciousness again tomorrow?”

“I have plenty of food anyway. I can afford to waste it even if it takes me until tomorrow!”

“The only thing I can’t be sure of is whether the giant leader will still fall into a state of unconsciousness after losing the flaming ice flower…”

“If it doesn’t, then this plan is undoubtedly the most dangerous, a guarantee death!”

“But…”

What if it worked?

Li Zheng felt his heart ache.

If he had never thought of this method, he would not have been so upset.

Unless someone could confirm that the ice giant would not go back to sleep after losing its flaming ice flower.

Otherwise, he could not get over it.

Li Zheng stared at his private chat with a dangerous look in his eyes. After some thought, he gave up on the idea of bullying Feng Shan again.

“Forget it. After all, it’s my fault for not being cautious enough. I’m like a child venting my anger on others. It seems a little immature.”

Li Zheng chuckled self-deprecatingly and decided not to dwell on the matter any longer. He then unblocked Feng Shan.

“Special gene successfully developed.”

[Congratulations for successfully developing the dual-element ability “Ice and Fire Resistance”.]

(You have obtained your first skill. The skills panel has been activated.]

(You have developed the first skill and unlocked “genetic force”. The current limit of “genetic force” is 100/100.]

“Oh? It’s done?”

The system notification finally appeared, and Li Zheng realized that the flames around him had disappeared. If not for the large charred mark on the ground, he would have thought that the pillar of fire was an illusion.

Li Zheng was in no hurry to check his ability. He squatted down and reached out to feel it. Not only was the area not hot, but it was also a little cold.

“Besides fire, there was ice too. Was it the blue gas in the pillar of fire?”

During the development process, not only did the high temperature of the pillar not harm Li Zheng, but he also did not feel the cold.

It was only that the development of his special ability had ended that he was aware of what happened.

“The fire pillar has disappeared, but the cold air seems to have frozen a small part of the moisture in the air. It disappeared slowly, so I can’t feel the high temperature?”

Li Zheng thought it was strange.

Logically speaking, high temperature and extreme cold were two completely opposite states.

Why was it that this place violated the laws of physics, and these two elements didn’t cancel out?

Li Zheng could not figure it out, so he gave up.

In an unknown world, how could he use the laws of physics on earth to explain it?

“Let’s take a look at my ability first. I almost died for this. Please don’t give me a rubbish ability…”

Li Zheng opened the new skills panel and looked at the only ability on it.
