Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day-Chapter 102 - 94: An Invitation from Zhan Zhouzhou, A New Special Room.

Chapter 102: Chapter 94: An Invitation from Zhan Zhouzhou, A New Special Room.

"Splash!" ×2

Blood flowers splattered, and Li Zheng expressionlessly drew out the Titanium Alloy Spear, wiping off the blood specks from his face.

"If either of you were straight and provided me a bit of milk, I might change my mind and spare you." Li Zheng wiped the blood off the spear with his sleeve, "At most, I’ll think of other ways to find Prelis’ blood later."

I gave you a chance, but unfortunately, you just can’t make it work.

"Decompose!"

[Decomposing the Prelis corpse, obtained: Prelis Blood 2000ml, Prelis Fresh Meat +40, Prelis Whip +2, Prelis Treasures +4, Solid Sharp Prelis Horn +4, Prelis Heart Core +2]

Both Prelis bulls were completely decomposed, and Li Zheng secured another pile of Gold Level materials.

Perhaps because the Prelis discharged all their Poison Blood during the charge, the blood and meat materials Li Zheng decomposed were actually non-toxic.

"Another forty chunks of fresh meat..."

Li Zheng rubbed his forehead; his recent influx of meat materials was overwhelming, far too much to consume, and every day required a huge amount of time for freezing these meats.

"I’ll sell half of it."

Opening up the trading hall, Li Zheng put up twenty portions of beef for sale and threw in all the toxic and non-toxic meats obtained before yesterday.

"I didn’t sell before, thinking it wouldn’t go out quickly and would rot easily, making me take them down to refreeze." Li Zheng murmured, operating the listing for sale, "Now, with composting workshops available, even if it spoils in the trading hall, I can reclaim it for compost materials, perfect!"

Selling them would be best; it would bring in some materials.

But frankly, although these meats are Gold Level and Silver Level biotic materials, their value is pathetically low.

After all, casually killing a creature, unless it’s something small like a terror bat, you’d already decompose ten or twenty chunks of fresh meat, right?

So the ones buying Li Zheng’s fresh meats are only those who enjoy trying different foods.

Unsold, it’s no more than compost fodder, and even produced fertilizers can go back to nurturing crops.

In the Matrix, vegetables are way more expensive than meats.

Things like Luoshen Flower Honey Fruit which can be eaten as fruits are valued much higher than meat.

If vegetables are sold actively, most people’s trading demands are either Active Core or materials counted "piece by piece."

While meats... can only exchange for grams of special metals.

Basically... a piece of meat can exchange for at most ten grams of special metals.

Yet, between one hundred twenty-five to one hundred fifty grams of special metal is needed to trade for other materials of the same level, such as Advanced Components or modules.

Meat really isn’t valuable.

Not even as valuable as blood.

At least that’s the case on channel 879.

Once all the meats were listed, Li Zheng took out the Prelis Whip and Treasures to check their Attributes.

[Prelis Whip, Gold Level, Ingredient

Description: Aphrodisiac superstar.

Texture: Q-elastic, smooth, chewy.

Drawback: Smelly.]

[Prelis Treasures, Gold Level, Ingredient

Description: Nourishing * * (self-censored, it’s nourishing organs of similar shape)

Texture: Tender and juicy.

Drawback: Especially smelly.]

"..."

Li Zheng, unmoved, opened the regional channel: "[Prelis Whip] two pieces [Prelis Treasures] four pieces, whoever wants them, speak up, free delivery!"

Heh, even if the set that walked through the desert is effective, I’m not eating it!

Once the message was sent, the regional channel erupted.

Lu Li reacted fastest: "@Li Zheng, Dad, give me a set!"

This guy, ever since he revealed his combat power, it was Li Zheng’s first time seeing him speak on the regional channel.

And the message was for this set of items.

Tsk, shameful!

Li Zheng curled his lip, without hesitation, listed a set directed at Lu Li for trade.

The second to speak up was interesting, not only a female player but also someone Li Zheng knew.

Yan Guang: "I want a set too! @Li Zheng"

This stunned Li Zheng.

What’s she buying these for?

She couldn’t possibly be...

"Eww!"

Li Zheng cracked a mischievous grin but didn’t say much, listed the directed trade.

But just because Li Zheng stayed silent didn’t mean others did.

Especially when encountering the clueless.

Lu Li: "Received [photo of Prelis Whip], wow, longer than my arm, thicker than my thigh. @Yan Guang, can you handle it?"

"..."

Li Zheng’s smile froze abruptly, nearly wanting to drag Lu Li out and beat him.

Asking publicly like that?

Isn’t that making a fool of Yan Guang?

Should be more like himself...

Uh—

Silently deleting the prepared message to Yan Guang, closing the private chat window.

Damn, better not tick Yan Guang off until she vents and pin the "father and son implicated" crime on him.

That would be a massive loss.

But Li Zheng was curious about how Yan Guang would react, so watched the screen excitedly.

Yan Guang: "I’m not eating it."

Lu Li: "Got it, we all understand, you might not necessarily want it for consumption..."

Yan Guang: "What are you thinking? I’m preparing it for Phoenix Mountain."

Lu Li: "???"

"???" Li Zheng was also baffled.

Yan Guang: "If he’s good, I’m good."

"Splash!"

Li Zheng understood instantly; Yan Guang was plotting something!

Lu Li: "Three seconds of silence for my Phoenix Mountain boss."

Zhan Zhouzhou: "@Lu Li, stop your silence! Phoenix Mountain eats and has Yan Guang, what do you have after eating?"

Li Zheng: "Well said, Zhan Zhouzhou!"

Lu Li: "Brilliant, this conversation has reached its peak."

Lu Li started diving again, probably because of something Zhan Zhouzhou said that hit him hard.

But Li Zheng looked at Yan Guang’s avatar and felt a bit sorry for her.

He had always thought Yan Guang’s personality was just like that, carefree, and that every time she mentioned sleeping at Phoenix Mountain, she was just joking.

But now it seems... this girl might actually be serious.

This is really a tough situation.

Phoenix Mountain obviously doesn’t have those feelings for her, treating her like a dangerous beast, always keeping his distance.

In the regional channel, he never engages with Yan Guang on those topics either.

"Maybe I should talk to her privately, to avoid an awkward situation between the two of them in the future?"

Li Zheng was pondering this and was about to close the regional chat when he saw Zhan Zhouzhou ask something.

Zhan Zhouzhou: "@Yan Guang, are you serious?"

Li Zheng held back the urge to close the page and continued to watch the screen.

Zhan Zhouzhou and Yan Guang are both women, so communication between them might be easier.

However, Li Zheng waited for five minutes. The chat in the regional channel started buzzing with more people, but Yan Guang remained silent.

"Forget it, why bother so much?"

Li Zheng closed the chat hall and turned to look for the compost materials left by the Kentai ox in the room.

...

Meanwhile, Yan Guang did not reply in the hall but was messaging Zhan Zhouzhou in private chat.

Yan Guang: "Of course I’m serious."

Zhan Zhouzhou: "What’s the point? We’re stuck in this place with no guarantee of tomorrow. Even if you get together with him, so what? One of you might die tomorrow."

Yan Guang: "You don’t understand.

Do you know what I was thinking when that crocodile bit my forearm?

I was thinking, how great it would be if someone came to save me.

I’ve grown up without ever being in a serious relationship.

I’ve never met someone I could spend my life with.

I’ve never been able to repay my parents.

I’ve never achieved financial freedom.

I haven’t... I have so many things I haven’t done.

If someone would come save me, it would be great...

But there was no such person.

I was just lucky to escape from the crocodile monster’s mouth and almost died from severe blood loss.

Thankfully, the next room had a body modification station, which saved my life.

But I lost an arm.

You know, lying on the modification table, with no anesthesia, when the saw cut off the remaining half of my arm, do you know what I was thinking?

I thought I was going to die.

As the cold saw blade cut down from my shoulder, I could feel its teeth tearing my skin, snapping my tendons, slicing my flesh, crushing my bones!

Back then, I thought if I survived, I would complete all those things I hadn’t done yet, leaving no regrets in my life."

Zhan Zhouzhou: "So you..."

Yan Guang: "That’s right, Phoenix Mountain is the first life goal I want to achieve."

Zhan Zhouzhou: "You wouldn’t say you fell in love with Phoenix Mountain at first sight, would you? All you saw was his avatar photo, and that was enough?"

Yan Guang: "Of course not! It’s just that after entering this place, Phoenix Mountain was the first strong person I met, so I want to conquer him!"

Zhan Zhouzhou: "What kind of dumb reason is that? If it’s just about conquering, what does it have to do with emotions?"

Yan Guang: "At first, it was about conquering... but didn’t I go to the Ancient Ruins later...?"

Zhan Zhouzhou: "Hmm?" freёnovelkiss.com

Yan Guang: "Yeah!"

Zhan Zhouzhou: "So you started being serious when you went to the Ancient Ruins? Isn’t that still love at first sight?"

Yan Guang: "Hehe."

Zhan Zhouzhou: "You should be able to tell, Phoenix Mountain isn’t interested in you."

Yan Guang: "I know."

Zhan Zhouzhou: "Then you..."

Yan Guang: "I like him, what does it have to do with him?"

Zhan Zhouzhou: "Since you’re aware, I won’t say more."

After sending this message, Zhan Zhouzhou closed the private chat panel and shook her head as if she couldn’t understand Yan Guang’s thoughts.

She took out her Tungsten Steel Longsword and Malice Detection Pocket Watch, getting ready to head to the next room.

She selected a door to test, and the pocket watch beeped once, then emitted a black glow.

"A Black Light Room, which means with my current strength, entering it would be a life-or-death situation."

Zhan Zhouzhou remembered the instructions sent with the pocket watch by Phoenix Mountain and didn’t foolishly attempt the challenge. Instead, she turned and swiped a card at another door.

"Beep."

The metal door opened, revealing a pure grey screen behind it.

"Hmm?"

Raising her finely-shaped eyebrows, Zhan Zhouzhou attempted to step inside.

[You have discovered a special room: the Lost Castle.]

"It really is a special room."

...

Li Zheng, guided by Prelis’ Eye, found the place where the Kentai oxen did their business and instructed No. 4 and No. 5 to move all the compost materials into the workshop.

"Once this round is done, the compost bin should be about half full."

Li Zheng estimated that perhaps after searching two or three more rooms, the compost bin would be full.

"I currently only have one Cultivation Dish, so I don’t need much fertilizer. Once the compost bin is full, I’ll keep it running; making so much fertilizer will mean I won’t run out for a while.

But... should I put some up for sale in the trading hall?

During their exploration, players who find Crop Cultivation Dishes can use fertilizer to shorten the growth time.

The demand should be quite high."

Li Zheng decided to try selling some fertilizer after this batch to see if it’s popular. If it sells well, he’ll keep the compost running long-term.

After all, in the Matrix, nearly every room with living creatures has an abundance of waste.

"There’s nothing of value left in this room, let’s move on to the next one."

Li Zheng took a quick look around and, after finding no new prompts from Prelis’ Eye, prepared to head to today’s fifth room.

Just as he lifted his foot, he received a message from Zhan Zhouzhou.

"Special room, want to come?"
