Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day - Chapter 37

Chapter 37 Eye of Pryles

After getting a power core, Li Zheng started the recycling process. He repeated the process of purifying the sewage and trading the clean water for more sewage.

When the energy power core was depleted, Li Zheng would trade the clean water for a power core.

Repeating the cycle for several hours, Li Zheng fell into deep thought while looking at the dozens of type I power cores in front of him.

“What did I want to do initially?”

Didn’t he want to make an air purifier?

Why did he suddenly become a trader?

“Li Zheng, you’ve lost yourself!”

Cursing himself, Li Zheng closed the trading room and disassembled the small water purifier, which had stopped working after a long time, to recover the iron ingot.

In the past few hours, the small water purifier had been under a lot of pressure and finally broke down.

It wasn’t that Li Zheng was guilty, but he had bought off all the power cores in the trading room.

After thinking for thirty seconds, Li Zheng decided to repay them. He made another two small water purifiers and listed them in the trading room. He would rent them out at the price of 300 ml of clean water for half an hour.

“I’m a good person for renting out a water purifier with a 100% sewage conversion rate at such a cheap price!”

Li Zheng’s lips cracked into a smile as he held the fourteen power cores.

Half an hour was enough for the other players to purify two liters of sewage. Li Zheng felt that he was the number one good-hearted businessman in history for only collecting 300 ml of water as a reward.

In comparison, William Houston was simply a heinous criminal!

Li Zheng did not know that not long after the water purifiers were put up, the sellers who sold water purification tools hated him to the

core.

William Houston had discovered the fact that the water purifier could make a fortune before Li Zheng did. He regretted his impulsive decision to sell the water purifier in a fit of anger.

When he tried to contact the buyer again, the system notified him that the player was not online!

What did this mean?

This meant that the other party was either dead or… dead.

At that moment, William almost dug out his own eyes. He blamed himself for being blind.

Li Zheng’s cheap price for renting two water purifiers would undoubtedly be a devastating blow to his business.

Of course, Li Zheng would never admit that he was doing this to make things difficult for William.

When he said he wanted to repay the players, he meant it!

It’s not because of a personal grudge!

[Air purifier, bronze-grade.]

[Description: Produces fresh and clean air.]

[No matter how bad the air quality is, it will purify and produce fresh air for you!)

After Li Zheng exchanged 300g B25 manganese steel for a power core, he finally made the air purifier.

Since there was a power core among the materials, it could be used directly.

Li Zheng turned on the machine and tested it. The air purifier shook a few times before it started working

It looked like a handheld vacuum, and the flat entrance that was supposed to suck in dust was actually the exit.

He leaned over and took a few breaths, but he didn’t feel any difference.

“… I’ve been looking forward to this for nothing. The result is completely different from what I imagined!”

Li Zheng was disappointed. He had thought that the air purifier would refresh one’s mind, or even smell like flowers.

However, the result was no different from ordinary air.

“Damn, it’s another useless prop, and it’s taking up space!” After turning off the air purifier and throwing it to the corner, Li Zheng went to get Chirpy and prepared to close the door to the capsule and go to sleep. “Chirp, chirp!”

When Chirpy heard Li Zheng’s call, it sneaked in from the door and buried its head in the fiber.

“It’s so cheeky.”

Li Zheng went to get it and put it on the small pile of fibers, and then went to close the door.

Soon, they fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning, Li Zheng was awakened by Chirpy.

When he opened his eyes in a daze, he saw something the size of a swallow spinning around in front of his eyes.

“What?”

Li Zheng suddenly woke up, and after a closer look, it was indeed Chirpy.

Overnight, Chirpy, who was originally only the size of a sparrow, grew to the size of a swallow.

“It grew up so fast?” Li Zheng opened the pet panel to confirm, and found that Chirpy was still in its “infancy”, but a message was marked with brackets at the back.

[Accelerating growth from eating special items…]

“Do special items refer to the glands of the silk spider?”

Li Zheng opened his hand to let Chirpy land on it, and looked at it carefully.

Apart from the increase in size and some weight, there was no other change in appearance. “Chirp, chirp!”

Chirpy seemed to realize that it had grown up a little. It stood in Li Zheng’s palm with its head held high and its chest puffed out, full of energy. It felt as if it could protect Li Zheng from now on.

“Look how proud you are of yourself!”

Li Zheng didn’t want to upset it, so he patted its little head and opened the door to let it out to have fun. Then, he began to prepare breakfast.

“It’s about time.”

When breakfast was ready, Li Zheng went out to pick some fibers. The little creature was standing in a corner with its butt up high, waiting for Li Zheng to clean it up.

“Sigh…others’ pets help them fight. Why do I have one that only acts cute?”

Li Zheng sighed while wiping its butt. “Chirp-“

Chirpy kept its head down throughout the entire process. After it was cleaned up, it flapped its little wings and flew back to the capsule.

After Li Zheng was done with his physiological needs, the little creature sat in front of the warm salt roasted gland and obediently waited for Li Zheng to return.

“Chirp, chirp.”

Chirpy called Li Zheng over.

They had promised to eat together all the time, so they had to eat together!

“So what if it can’t help me in battles? Cuteness is enough!”

Li Zheng walked over with a smile and took a bottle of water for it to wash its face and hands. Then, they had breakfast together.

If other players saw them wasting water like that, they would be furious.

The ten snake grass needles that were listed yesterday had all been sold. As Li Zheng expected, the other players did not care that the price was doubled.

Some people even left him messages, hoping to buy a few more at the same price.

Li Zheng didn’t respond to a single one of them. He was still thinking of raising the price in the future.

He processed all this information while he was peeing

He took out the upgraded detector.

As expected, the gold-grade detector became a platinum-grade detector.

(Eye of Pryles, platinum-grade, unique item, upgradeable.)

[It could provide information about, but was not limited to, materials, items, creatures, and players.]

[The higher the item’s level, the more detailed the information.]

(Materials required for the next upgrade: personality releaser x1, data processor x1, 500g of Taibo alloy, advanced module *x]

“The next upgrade doesn’t require a power core anymore. Perhaps it’ll be the final upgrade.” Li Zheng touched his eyes, and a virtual screen was displayed directly on his retina.

“I didn’t expect that a platinum-grade detector could be directly embedded into the eye. It’s much more convenient.”

Beep beep.

An almost imperceptible voice sounded in his head, and two overlapping panels appeared in Li Zheng’s field of vision.

One was the matrix’ system panel, and the other was the detector’s…the Eye of Pryles’.

At this moment, the information displayed by the Eye of Preles was as follows.

[Name: Li Zheng]

[Species: Human]

(Gender: Male]

[Height: 182cm]

(Weight: 78kg]

[State: Healthy]

(Cell type: Black-iron-grade]

[Bone strength: Black-iron-grade (partially fortified)]

(Muscle strength: Black-iron-grade]

[Ability: Investigation, dense bones (partial), fire and ice resistance)

[Modification: None]

(Amount of materials: Few]

[Amount of equipment: Air purifier (bronze-grade), small water purifier (black-iron-grade) x2 (rented out)]

[Pets: Chirpy/terror bat (black-iron-grade elite]

[Remaining capsule storage: 20%]

[Number of explorations left: 10)

After being upgraded to platinum-grade, the detector could provide more information about the wearer’s personal information compared to when it was gold-grade.

Of course, Li Zheng had tested the most important function.

The information of the metal door in the room he was in was as follows.

(Above: the temperature behind the door is 500 degrees. Your pet’s life will be in danger after entering.)

(Below: there are 108 laser beams behind the door. Your reflexes are not good enough to avoid the danger. It is not recommended to enter.]

Other than the door that Li Zheng had entered through, the other three were:

(There are some materials and equipment behind the door.]

[There is some food and equipment behind the door.]

(There is a bronze-grade creature behind the door, low threat level]
