Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day - Chapter 38
Chapter 38 Li Zheng was Shocked
“Low threat level? I guess it’s the same as the previous orange-red room?”
Li Zheng chewed on a stalk of ginseng flower and looked annoyed. “Other than the room with the terror bats, I almost lost my life every time I went into a dangerous room. I’ll be an idiot to enter one again!”
Swallowing the last bite of his breakfast, Li Zheng packed up. He had decided that he would never enter a dangerous room if there was a safe room.
“Today’s treasure chest has also been refreshed. I should check it out.”
Li Zheng opened the system interface and took out the treasure chest.
(Retrieving, please wait…)
“I wonder what grade of treasure chest I’ll get today?” There was a hint of anticipation in Li Zheng’s eyes. “If I get a treasure chest of platinum-grade or above, then it’ll be a critical hit…”
[Success. Treasure chest quality: gold. Would you like to open it now?]
The message from the system interrupted Li Zheng’s reverie.
“Just gold-grade?”
Li Zheng was a little disappointed. After seeing platinum-grade items, he even looked down on gold-grade chests.
Typical greed.
“Fine.”
Li Zheng pouted and muttered in his heart, “open it!”
The next moment.
“BOOM!”
A gold box landed in front of him. It seemed to be made entirely of gold, and it was shining
“Eh? The Eye of Pryles could provide information about treasure chests?”
Li Zheng looked at the treasure chest in surprise.
This was something that had never happened before.
(A gold treasure chest. A treasure chest made entirely of gold.)
[It did not belong here, some unknown force XXXXXX…]
[Maybe you already know what you can get from it.]
(We are unique. ]
It seemed that the Eye of Pryles had revealed information that should not be disclosed. The description of the gold treasure chest contained encrypted code. “Unique? ‘We’?”
Li Zheng pondered the meaning of these words, “does it refer to it being a ‘unique item’? There is only one in the entire matrix?”
If this is the case, it would be unique.
Li Zheng didn’t think too much, and quickly turned his attention to the treasure chest, rubbing his hands with anticipation in his eyes. “This is still much better than the silver and bronze ones. Let’s open it!”
Li Zheng squatted down, lifted the top cover of the treasure chest, and reached in.
[Obtained: potion-crafting bench blueprint (basic) x1]
[Obtained: potion formula xi]
[Obtained: blood of three-headed lions 500ml]
[Obtained: analyzer xi]
[Obtain: Oliha steel 500g]
[Obtained: intermediate module x50]
[Obtained: type IV power core x1)
A series of prompts appeared, and Li Zheng looked at the names of a bunch of unfamiliar props, feeling a little overwhelmed.
“Are they all gold-grade?”
He took out the potion-crafting bench blueprint and looked at it.
[Potion-crafting bench blueprint. Basic. One-time use. Unique. Gold-grade.]
[It can be used to craft a potion-crafting bench.)
(Required materials: type IV power core x1, analyzer x1, intermediate module x50, basic module x20, spare parts x40, iron ingot x50, tungsten steel 500g, B25 manganese steel 300g, Oliha steel 500g, technology core x1]
Li Zheng’s scalp tingled when he saw the amount of materials required. After a careful calculation, he realized that it was almost all of the materials he had in stock!
“It’s just a gold-grade blueprint, and the materials required are more than when the detector was upgraded to platinum?”
He threw the USB drive into the pile of items, and Li Zheng picked up another blueprint.
[Potion formula. Unique. Gold-grade.)
[It includes all black-iron-grade to gold-grade potion recipes, which need to be inserted into the potion-crafting bench before they can be read and used. ]
“They are actually used together!”
Li Zheng silently picked up the USB drive he had just put away, and reluctantly glanced at the material he had collected two days ago. “Craft!”
Swish!
The capsule was instantly empty, and the capacity of the capsule instantly increased from 20% to 85%.
At this moment, Li Zheng felt that his heart was bleeding. “If it doesn’t produce something that meets my expectations…”
e SOL
[Potion-crafting bench (basic) is completed, please designate a place to put it. ]
The system prompt appeared. Li Zheng opened the system interface and released the crafting table. Boom!
The potion-crafting bench landed, instantly occupying nearly half of the space in the capsule.
[Remaining space in capsule: 35%]
“So big?!”
Li Zheng was dumbfounded. This thing used a lot of materials, and the final product was shockingly large! “I guess I won’t have a place to sleep tonight …”
“Chirp, chirp.”
Chirpy looked at the potion-crafting bench curiously, then turned around and picked up the little fiber bundle that she had slept in for two days. It flew to the top of the machine.
Chirpy put the ball of fibers down and patted it with its two little claws to make it more fluffy. Then, it laid on it with a satisfied expression.
111
Li Zheng looked at it and was silent for a moment. “It’s smart, just like me!” “Chirp, chipr!”
Chirpy poked its head out and made an ugly face at Li Zheng.
“Hehe.”
Li Zheng ignored Chirpy’s mockery and took a closer look at the crafting bench. He figured out how to use it after fiddling with it for a while.
The machine looked like the blood cell analyzer used in hospitals. There was a touch screen on one side and five USB ports on the other to read the formula of the potion.
On the other side, a metal disc extended out from the edge of the machine, and ten small round holes were evenly distributed on it.
“This should be the place where the materials are kept judging by the size and diameter…”
Li Zheng turned some things over and took out a small crystal bottle, the purple viscous liquid inside shook with his movement.
(The blood of three-headed lions. Gold-grade. Material.]
(It is obtained from the three-headed lion, a gold-grade creature. Drinking it will enhance the player’s physique.]
(The taste is fishy and bitter. ]
Walking to the disc, Li Zheng put the crystal bottle on top, the size fits perfectly into the hole. “This bottle contains 50 milliliters of liquid. I have seen blood in the trading room before. It seems that the standard volume is 50ml.”
Li Zheng was curious about the effect of the potion, so he went to the touch screen to operate it, and inserted the USB drive into it.
Immediately afterwards, four categories of pharmaceutical formulations appeared on the touch screen, namely, cell vitality, bone strength, muscle strength and neural response.
It corresponded to the four physical attributes provided by the Eye of Pryles.
In addition, there are several buttons on the screen, namely, input/eject, analysis, and production.
He tapped on the “input” button, the USB drive was inserted into the machine, and then the “analysis” button lit up.
He tapped on the “analysis” button. After the machine ran for 30 seconds, the touch screen displayed the type of material and the formula.
[Input materials: three-headed lion blood 50ml.)
(Checking…]
[Results: cell vitality (gold-grade) lacks materials, muscle strength (gold-grade) lacks materials.]
“Lacks materials?”
Li Zheng frowned slightly, and clicked on the drop-down on the interface.
Immediately, a long list of materials unfolded. If he wanted to make a gold-grade health potion, he needed at least eight different materials, all of which are gold-grade.
After a moment of silence, Li Zheng said, “f*ck!”
“Eject!”
Li Zheng took the blood of the three-headed lion and put it away.
“I remember that there’s a bottle of terror bat blood…”
He rummaged through the pile of materials for a while, and finally picked up a bottle, “found it! Fortunately, I kept it in case I needed more water.”
“Let me try inputting this.”
Putting in the bottle of terror bat blood, Li Zheng operated the machine, waiting for the analysis.
After a moment, the result was ready.
(Input materials: terror bat blood 50ml]
[Result: cell vitality (black-iron-grade), neural response (black-iron-grade)]
(There are enough materials to craft it.]
“A single item is enough?”
Li Zheng was pleasantly surprised that the “craft” button had lit up.
“Craft it!”
Selecting “neural response”, Li Zheng pressed the “craft” button without hesitation.
30 seconds later, the disc popped out again, and the touch screen showed:
[Potion completed]
Li Zheng looked at the disc, which was now empty. Not only was the blood gone, but the crystal bottle was also gone.
Something popped up on the other side of the disc, and a mechanical arm with a test tube container poked out.
In the test tube was a pink liquid.
[Neural response potion. Black-iron-grade. Potion.]
[After drinking it, the reaction speed of the player or their pet will be slightly improved.]
(Upgrade limit is black-iron ++]
“Let’s check out the effect.”
Li Zheng was very confident as he drank all the potion.
“Why is it sweet?”
After tasting it, Li Zheng was furious.
Ever since he tasted the nutrient solution, he disliked sweet things. This was also the reason why he had not eaten a single honey fruit after the first time he tried it.
The reason why he didn’t list it was because it was worth more than the fallen ginseng flower, so he would make a loss if he traded it.
He swallowed the potion and quickly digested it. A strange energy spread throughout his body in an instant.
“It’s…done?”
Li Zheng lowered his head and touched his body, but he didn’t notice anything unusual.
He clenched his fist.
His strength did not increase.
He poked his skin.
It didn’t become tough either.
He raised his head and looked at Chirpy.
This time, Li Zheng noticed something unusual.
Chirpy was rolling around in the fiber ball, and a few strands of fiber fell from the top of the machine. Li Zheng subconsciously reached out to catch them.
His arms moved quickly in the air and caught the fibers.
Buzzzzzz!
“Hmm…”
He opened his palm, and a few strands of fiber stuck to his skin.
“I actually caught them?”
Before drinking the potion, although it was not impossible, he wouldn’t be able to do it so swiftly.
“Is this the effect of the potion? It’s just a black-iron-grade item, and the effect is already so good. What if I drink one of gold-grade?”
Li Zheng suddenly felt that the materials he had used were worth it!
“Chirpy, let’s go.”
Li Zheng called out to Chirpy, and it crawled out of the fiber ball and flew into his pocket.
Fortunately, Li Zheng had large pockets, or else Chirpy, who had grown up, would not have been able to fit in.
Even so, his pocket was already full. “Chirp, chirp.” Chirpy poked its head out. “You should appreciate the time now.” Li Zheng patted its head and walked out of the capsule. “You might not be able to enter this pocket tomorrow. What would you do then?”
After putting away the capsule, Li Zheng walked towards the metal door with a bronze-grade creature.
He swiped his card, and the door opened.
Li Zheng took a deep breath and shouted, “I’m an idiot!”
Then, he entered the room.
