Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day - Chapter 30

Chapter 30 Exactly What He’s Afraid Of

“A family of swordsmen? I’d be a fool if I believe you.”

Li Zheng scanned the room and walked towards the materials scattered on the floor. He put them all in his capsule.

“But her swordsmanship is indeed very powerful.” Li Zheng recalled that the detector had actually given him an orange-red danger warning when her sword hit his gun.

Even though it was just a flash, Li Zheng still caught it.

This meant that Zhan Zhouzhou had the ability and thought to hurt Li Zheng in that instant.

“Without using any special abilities, she can pose a threat to players who did.” Li Zheng thought for a moment, but he didn’t think that a successor of a so-called “family of swordsmen” could easily do this.

Zhan Zhouzhou’s claim that she had only won three provincial competitions was contradictory.

“With the speed and power of that sword, even a world-class fencing champion might not be able to match it. How can she only be a provincial champion three times? And it’s just against her family.” She must be telling him half-truths.

Li Zheng touched his smooth forehead and smiled nonchalantly. “She’s such a vengeful woman…”

However, it was fine if that meant that she no longer hated him.

Li Zheng realized that it’s not good to have enemies from his experience with William Houston.

“It’s always better to have one more friend than one more enemy. With Zhan Zhouzhou’s current strength, we can trade a few more times in the future. Perhaps I can get something useful.”

Before Li Zheng left the room, Zhan Zhouzhou had already unblocked him. They agreed that they would prioritize each other when it came to trading.

Standing in front of a smooth metal wall, Li Zheng looked at himself in the mirror and said narcissistically, “although I can’t see myself clearly, I’m still a handsome young man.”

“Chirp, chirp!”

Chirpy stuck its head out of his pocket and agreed.

Li Zheng patted its head with his finger and said with a smile, “you think so too, don’t

you?”

“Chirp.”

Chirpy squinted, enjoying Li Zheng’s pat.

“Let’s go.”

Li Zheng stopped and stood in front of the metal door that he had already chosen. The detector showed that there was a green room behind the door. “It’s getting late. There are still five rooms to explore. We have to speed

up.”

Buzz.

He swiped his card.

The door opened.

Li Zheng walked in with Chirpy.

After two days of exploration, especially after the detector was upgraded, Li Zheng had roughly figured out the patterns of the rooms.

First of all, there were three types of rooms, dangerous, safe and unknown.

The dangerous rooms were divided into red and orange.

Li Zheng concluded that the orange-red color meant that he could pass through it safely as long as he was careful.

The red color meant that one had to be extremely careful when dealing with whatever was behind the door, or else one could get killed.

At the same time, there were two kinds of danger, the environment and the creatures.

There was too much uncertainty in the former, and Li Zheng would not even consider it. Whether it was red or orange, he would choose neither.

After he awakened his special ability, he could consider the latter. However, he was still injured, so he would try to avoid it as much as possible.

The safe room also had two colors, blue and green.

It represented the number of resources in the room.

A blue room had a large amount of resources, while a green room had a smaller amount of resources.

It was only about quantity, not quality.

For example, the first of the two rooms that Li Zheng had entered on the first day was green in color. If he had not accidentally discovered that the damaged machine could be disassembled, he would have only obtained a blueprint and a snicker from that room.

The second room was blue in color, and the yield was quite good.

There were only two types of safe rooms, materials and food.

For example, the room with the ice giants was also blue in color because it was special and had no point of reference.

The color of the film faded from his eyes. He seemed to be uninterested in the green room with food this time.

“Tsk, as expected…”

There was a storage tank in the middle of the room, and the rest of the room was empty. Li Zheng was already mentally prepared to get a snicker.

“If it wasn’t for the blue door on the roof of the previous room, and the other dangerous rooms, I wouldn’t have come here…”

Li Zheng pouted and opened the “fridge”.

“Oh, not bad. There’s a bottle of water.”

After putting away the bottle of water and the snicker he was expecting, Li Zheng skillfully took out a piece of iron ingot that was full of holes.

“Sigh…when I was on earth, I would never have thought that one day, I’d smash my way to wealth.”

Li Zheng’s gains over the past two days were not as good as the high-quality items that Feng Shan and the other top players had obtained, apart from the platinum-grade ability.

However, Li Zheng was not worried about low-quality ingredients and food.

Even if it was water, Li Zheng could still recycle it.

Moreover, he could exchange the 30,000 snake grass needles for food and water at any time. He really didn’t have to worry about them.

“How should I put it?”

“It’s not just for food and drink. I just like the surprise and satisfaction I get when I find something.”

Li Zheng sighed, lifted the iron ingot, and began another demolition session.

However, because his ribs were still broken, the dismantling work took a little longer.

Twenty minutes later, the storage tank let out a sad cry and fell in front of Li Zheng.

“Damn it, I would have finished exploring two rooms by now if I was more forceful. F*ck!” Li Zheng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and looked at the materials obtained.

(You obtained: thermal controller x1, damaged power core x1…)

“Yo, what a surprise.”

Li Zheng took out the thermal controller he had just obtained and examined it. It was indeed intact and of high quality.

[Temperature controller.]

(Silver-grade.]

[Description: an device that controls temperature. It can be used to create equipment.)

It was a very simple description, even the detector did not give any more information.

“Although it doesn’t have any other effects, it’s still a silver material. Not bad.”

Li Zheng nodded in satisfaction. This was one of the few high-quality items he had obtained by exploration.

Li Zheng realized that because of the injury to his ribs, most of the iron ingots were smashed in the upper-middle area of the material storage tank.

“The thermal controller must be installed in the lower half of the refrigerator. The next time I see a refrigerator, I can try to take the silver-grade power core.”

Then, Li Zheng began to scan the metal doors.

Above was a blue safe room with materials.

On the ground was a green safe room with materials.

Li Zheng suddenly had a bad feeling when he saw two safehouses at once.

He raised his head to look at the remaining three metal doors. With a bitter face, he said angrily, “Exactly what I’m afraid of!”

The remaining three metal doors were all orange-red with monsters.
