[It is no exaggeration to say that this energy bar will quell your hunger. It is as filling as having half a meal!]

“This sounds so familiar!”

“Bang!”

Li Zheng slammed the “refrigerator” door shut and grumbled, “a refrigerator with a capacity of at least 180 liters only has one thing in it. What a scam!”

Li Zheng’s eyes darted to the “refrigerator”. “I wonder if I can take this…”

He touched the surface of the “refrigerator” and thought, “Store it.”

[Invalid behavior.]

“Tsk, fine.”

Li Zheng smacked his lips and stopped paying attention to the empty refrigerator. Instead, he turned his attention to the “computer”.

He had just finished drinking the nutrient solution, and the sweet taste was still lingering. Li Zheng had no intention of opening the energy bar to taste its saltiness, so he put it into the capsule.

Li Zheng walked up to the “computer” and tapped on it with anticipation.

“Beep.”

With a soft sound, the computer screen lit up. There was only a light-blue background, not even a single folderor recycle bin.

“What?”

Li Zheng was dumbfounded.

Didn’t the system prompt say that he would find something?

Why wasn’t there a single icon?

Are you kidding?

He didn’t give up and tapped on the whole screen, not missing a single inch.

In the end, Li Zheng was disappointed to find that the computer was indeed not installed with any hidden software.

“So, you’re saying that this big room is just to store a snicker?”

Li Zheng was disgusted.

Li Zheng was already upset when he was dragged into this place for no reason and was forced to participate in some survival game. Now that he had entered the first room, other than a snicker, he found nothing. This ignited the small flame in Li Zheng’s heart.

“F*ck this… What a scam!”

Feeling depressed, Li Zheng raised the last rock in his hand and smashed it on the computer screen.

Since he didn’t find anything and couldn’t take it away, he might as well smash it.

He could also vent his anger from being trapped in this place.

Pa!

The screen shattered, and the screen instantly became blurry.

At the same time, a small object fell from the bottom of the computer, making a crisp sound as it hit the ground.

“Eh? This is…”

Li Zheng’s eyes widened at the familiar design of the object.

It was clearly a USB drive!

He quickly picked up the USB and looked up. Only then did Li Zheng realize that there were two sockets under the computer. Due to the difference in height, he had not noticed it before.

“This is why the system says ‘be careful’?”

Li Zheng didn’t expect a high-level matrix game to play such a low-level trick.

Li Zheng couldn’t be bothered to complain. He looked at the USB drive, or rather, the “blueprint” in his hand.

[Blueprint of a small water purifier, black-iron level, learnable.]

[A small water purifier that can convert sewage into drinkable water.]

[Required materials: spare part x1, iron ingot x3, copper ingot x1]

It was different from the disposable blueprint of the ordinary detector. Learnable blueprints must be studied before they could be used to create objects.

Li Zheng toyed with the USB drive in his hand for a while before he thought of a problem.

“How can I learn this?”

Li Zheng stood up and looked at the computer, which had stopped working. “I can’t possibly learn it through this stupid computer, can I?”

Holding the USB drive, he muttered “learn” in his heart and received a system prompt.

[Please learn the blueprint through the research desk.]

Buzzzzzz!

He was right!

“I have to try it…”

Li Zheng stood up expectantly and fiddled with the broken computer. In the end, he came to a conclusion…

It’s broken!

“F*ck! It was so fragile? What’s the use of having this?”

Li Zheng was so frustrated that he grabbed the stone and was about to throw it again…

“Wait… Let me try to repair it first.”

Li Zheng put down the stone and began to repair it.

“Repair!”

There was no response.

“System, repair it!”

Still no response…

“…”

In the next few minutes, Li Zheng tried all sorts of methods to repair the computer, but there was no response. He was exasperated.

“F*ck, what kind of stupid game is this? Why can’t they repair the broken equipment?”

Bang! Bang!

Bang! Bang!

Bang! Bang!

Anyway, it was already broken, and he couldn’t take it away, so he might as well use it to vent his anger.

“Eh?” Li Zheng suddenly stopped what he was doing and looked at the broken computer.

The reason he stopped wasn’t because he had run out of things to smash.

Instead, a notification suddenly popped up in front of him.

[Do you want to disassemble the damaged research desk?]

“Oh, there’s actually an unexpected gain!”

Li Zheng’s brows twitched, and he ordered it to be disassembled.

[Deconstructing the damaged research desk. Obtained: technology core x1, iron ingot x1, copper Ingot x1, damaged power core type I x1]

Power core!

There weren’t many things that were broken down, but this thing instantly attracted Li Zheng’s attention.

“I need a technology core to upgrade the detector. I didn’t expect to get it in the first room.”

“Not bad.”

Li Zheng smiled in satisfaction. He shifted his gaze to the material storage tank, and the smile on his face gradually became wicked.

Touching the “refrigerator”, Li Zheng muttered to himself, “disassemble!”

[Invalid behavior.]

“…”

Does this mean that it couldn’t be disassembled until it’s damaged?

Then there was nothing more to say. He rolled up his sleeves and started smashing it!

“Bang Bang Bang …”

After another round of frenzied smashing, the stone in his hand was shattered. When it was only a quarter of its original size, a notification finally popped up.

[Do you want to disassemble the damaged material storage tank?]

“Yes!”

Li Zheng swung his right arm, which was in pain from the impact, and threw the stone away.

[You obtained: iron ingot x10, copper ingot x5, spare parts x5, damaged thermal controller x1, damaged power core type III x1, 100g B25 grade manganese steel.]

“There are quite a lot of things here. It seems that big things are useful.”

Li Zheng counted his gains and realized that he had collected half of the materials needed to upgrade the ordinary detector!

“I wonder if this damaged power core can be repaired. If it can be repaired, I just need to dismantle two more fridges to upgrade the detector.”

All the items he obtained appeared in his capsule. Li Zheng took out a glass orb the size of an infant’s fist.

The glass orb was the damaged power core engine that had just been taken out, and the dense spider web-like cracks on its surface indicated that it was damaged.

After weighing the items in his hands, he kept them in his capsule and looked at the five doors in the room.

“It’s time to explore the next room. I’ve finished exploring the green safe room, so I’ll go to the blue one this time.”

Two of the five doors were displayed as empty and they were located on the ceiling and the ground, which saved Li Zheng some trouble.

There were also two red dangerous doors, one on the left and one on the right of the door he came from.

The last one was the blue safe room!

“Beep”

The card reader produced a sound. Li Zheng turned back to look at the debris on the ground and let out a sigh of satisfaction.

“I feel better now. ”

Li Zheng felt refreshed after venting his frustration.

He lifted his foot and stepped over the thin film.
