Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day

The sky darkened, and with it, the real danger within the Matrix arrived.

Many things that dared not be done or could not be done during the day would be resolved at night.

For example: Murder!

Gangban Rihuan had seen some tools specifically designed for killing during his time in hiding.

Most of these things were associated with "the night."

For instance, his superior in the High Celestial Plain wielded a mysterious bell.

When rung at night, it could randomly teleport the user to the side of a player on the same channel.

Similarly, his superior in Creation controlled an item that took effect at night and could release a random tiered monster into a player's room!

Any player killed by this monster would have their loot automatically transferred to the user.

Of course, the user also had to bear the negative effects that came from killing.

Blood Qi entanglement.

However, at Gangban Rihuan's level, he had never known the specific attributes of these tools.

He only vaguely deduced the functions of these two items from the intelligence he had observed and collected over time.

Now...

He arrived at channel 879, with the overt mission to kill all the players on the channel.

But it was clear, ever since Watanabe Shunyo took over this task, the goal had changed.

He didn't know what Watanabe Shunyo was thinking.

He couldn't even be sure whether Watanabe Shunyo was an insider sent by another organization.

Having experienced the self-exposure incident of Gangban Rihuan, now everyone looked like a mole to him.

Even if Li Zheng stood in front of him, he would dare to suspect whether Li Zheng was an undercover agent sent by some organization to channel 879...

But undercover agents and tasks no longer mattered.

Since the moment Kato Junwa notified him of Gangban Rihuan's death, he knew he had been abandoned.

Otherwise, Kato Junwa should have tried to bring him back instead of leaving him to adapt on his own.

After hours of contemplation, Gangban Rihuan had thought of his only way out.

This path to survival was...

"Hmm? Why is Watanabe Shunyo sending me a private message at this time?"

A private message startled him awake.

Watanabe Shunyo: "Gangban Rihuan is dead?"

Gangban Rihuan sneered; was it not obvious from a private message?

"Oh, I just found out too. Was just about to notify you." He lied.

Watanabe Shunyo: "Do you know the cause of death?"

Cause of death?

Of course he knew!

Wasn't it his own doing?

Is there even a need to ask?

He brought two people to carry out the mission, ended up bringing two spies, and even worse, one was a lunatic from Fudao Island!

Can't you reflect on yourself?

The monsters from Fudao Island, can they be considered human?

They are...

Sigh, forget it. They're pitiable too.

If it weren't for the poor decisions at High Celestial Plain, the people on Fudao Island wouldn't have turned into this ghostly form.

Gangban Rihuan decisively continued to lie: "I'm not sure, I'm investigating."

Investigating my ass!

I'm just stalling for time!

Your combat strength is greater than mine; if anyone wants to kill, they'll definitely come for you first!

Once you're dead, I will immediately kneel and beg for mercy!

With the righteousness of the Dragon Country people, as long as I bow my head hard enough when surrendering, they will definitely spare me!

After all, I'm a victim too!

It was Gangban Rihuan who caused the trouble, what does it have to do with me, Gangban Rihuan?

After waiting for a while, Gangban Rihuan found it odd that he didn't receive any private message from Watanabe Shunyo.

"He wouldn't have... already been found, right?"

He pulled out a radio, which displayed two electronic lights, one red and one green.

"Still alive."

Wait a bit longer.

...

As Gangban Rihuan suspected, someone indeed approached Watanabe Shunyo.

Li Zheng, bringing Xiao Ying, passed through the teleportation gate to immediately see the figure dismantling the Three-headed Ghost Lion.

A barrage of comments scrolled across the screen—

Ye Kai: Is this the little devil? His height is really disappointing, is he even 1.6 meters?

Liu Jin: Based on my years of movie-watching experience, I'd judge this person's height at 1.62 meters!

Mo Lian: So ugly... whereas Li Zheng is so handsome, dashing, charming, debonair, elegant...

Zhou Kai: Well said! I wonder if Mr. Li Zheng has athlete's foot, maybe let her lick it; with her power, she might just lick it cured.

Li Zheng: "..."

These comments were bothering his eyes, but as a streamer, he couldn't block them, he had to force his attention elsewhere.

Here, he was observing Watanabe Shunyo.

Across, Watanabe Shunyo was likewise sizing up Li Zheng.

After dismantling the last Ghost Lion, Watanabe Shunyo faced Li Zheng and asked, "I don't know why Mr. Li has graced us with his presence?"

Faced with his inquiry, Li Zheng remained unmoved, quietly finishing Old Pu's scanned attributes.

When he saw the number after the opponent's name representing the deceased players, his gaze turned as cold as ice.

He coldly said, "I have only one purpose here, to kill you!"

With these words still in the air, Li Zheng decisively took out the Tyberly Long Spear, activated both abilities, and charged forward.

Watanabe Shunyo was already prepared, raising his hand with a flash of blood light, the ends of the boomerang slid to reveal two symmetrical blades.

Whoosh!

The helical blade flew towards Li Zheng's face as Watanabe Shunyo drew out a completely black thin tachi and confronted Li Zheng.

Clang~

The long spear lifted up, deflecting the helical blade, with a flick of the wrist, decisively changing the move, shifting to a downward smash towards Watanabe Shunyo.

From the attribute table moments before, Li Zheng clearly saw that besides having higher tier weapons, one Gold, and one Platinum, Watanabe Shunyo had two genetic abilities.

Gold Level Genetic Ability: Blood Qi Burst.

Silver Level Genetic Ability: Qi Threads.

The Blood Qi Burst was quite similar to the ability obtained by Phoenix Mountain, both enhanced the self, allowing for several times the strength for an attack.

Only the Gold Level Blood Qi Burst was innately stronger than the Phoenix Mountain one.

But Watanabe Shunyo was obviously not prosperous, Blood Qi Burst was still Lv1, quite wasteful.

Qi Threads was a wind ability, using wind to transform threads, formless, shapeless, to entwine certain tools or special weapons for object manipulation.

His mastery of the Vortex Blade depended on this ability.

This ability he had upgraded to Lv6.

Unfortunately, the foundation wasn't strong; no matter how strong a Silver level ability was, it couldn't reach too far.

This special type of genetic ability can only achieve a surprising effect when the enemy is unaware of the details.

Unfortunately, Li Zheng saw through all of Watanabe Shunyo's trump cards at first glance, naturally having a way to break this ability.

The Helical Blade was struck away, and Watanabe Shunyo instinctively tried to control the Qi Threads to retrieve it, but ended up grasping at nothing.

The genetic ability "failed," causing a momentary daze in Watanabe Shunyo.

He couldn't comprehend why Li Zheng could disable one of his genetic abilities in such a short encounter.

He had relied on this mysterious and unpredictable genetic ability to finish off several players with higher combat power than himself.

Why didn't it work this time?

Clang!

Before he could think further, Li Zheng's spear hit the tachi with immense force, causing Watanabe Shunyo's hand holding the weapon to tremble, almost losing his grip.

Li Zheng frowned slightly, thinking to himself: Such trash?

Then he kicked out, delivering a shattering kick to Watanabe Shunyo's groin.

Smack!

"Ahhh~~~~"

Watanabe Shunyo's eyes bulged like lightbulbs, filled with disbelief.

He seemed amazed that Li Zheng, a top fighter ranked among the highest, would use such a lowly move in battle.

He opened his mouth to curse, but all that came out was a wretched howl.

He wanted to turn and flee, but his legs wouldn't move.

With Li Zheng's physique, that kick was not light.

Watanabe Shunyo's originally tri-unit tool probably only had half left now…

The other parts had turned to bloody mush.

This kind of pain, let alone Watanabe Shunyo, no male could endure it.

Barrage——

Zhou Kai: Hiss~ Looks a bit thrilling.

Liu Jin: Why do I feel a chill?

Mo Lian: My phantom limb aches faintly.

"Do you think that you still have a chance to explore, that even if you can't win, you can escape?" Li Zheng stood in front of him, looking down with a cold expression.

"Don't be afraid, let me tell you, even if you escape through a door, I can still drag you back today!"

The spear in his hand disappeared, Li Zheng switched to an ion cutting blade, transforming it into a dagger shape.

"Now, I'll give you a chance, remove the blood qi suppressor on your chest and confess how many innocent players you have killed."

"Cough..."

Watanabe Shunyo's face twisted, covering his wound with one hand, clutching the tachi with the other, opening his mouth wide until he lost his voice.

Just when he thought Li Zheng would interrogate him, relaxing his guard, preparing to retaliate.

Suddenly, a flash of cold light appeared before his eyes.

Swish!

A chill on his shoulder, followed by excruciating pain.

The arm holding the tachi was severed at the shoulder, falling to the ground.

"Did you really think I'd give you a chance to confess and then let you go?" Li Zheng said with a cruel smile at the corner of his mouth, "I just wanted to distract you so you could truly feel the pain of this strike."

Swish!

Another slice, this time Watanabe Shunyo could no longer hold his groin.

With both arms lost, he stumbled backward, collapsing to the ground in furious screams.

He wanted to cover the wound to lessen the pain, but without hands, he became even more conscious of the shoulder wound's agony.

Li Zheng squatted in front of him, asking with interest, "I'm very curious, did you red-name players truly prepare to be killed before you killed your first person?"

Swish!

This time, Li Zheng merely sliced away a piece of flesh from his opponent's body, the knife executed with utter disregard.

"Does it hurt to be slashed?"

Swish!

"Those players you killed, do you think they hurt?"

Swish!

"Did you ever brutally kill an innocent player like this?"

Swish!

Swish!

Swish!

"I haven't given you a quick end yet, can you guess why?"

Swish!

"Of course, it's to give you a chance to report the news back."

Swish!

"Hurry up! Get your organization to send more people over!"

Swish!

"I forgot, your country's people don't count as humans."

Swish!

"Calling you beasts would even be an insult to beasts!"

Li Zheng slashed again and again, speaking a word or two with each cut.

He knew the longer he dragged it out, the longer Watanabe Shunyo would transfer his items, and the more thoroughly he'd transfer them.

But he didn't care.

Whenever he thought of Lin Fengjiao's miserable condition, his heart would fill with endless fury.

What an innocent person.

Tortured by Gangban Rihuan until she's unrecognizable as a person.

He didn't even know if Xiao Siyuan could heal her.

If he didn't make these Mud Furnace bastards truly feel the pain, his inner anger would be hard to quell.

"Request reinforcements! Request reinforcements quickly! Get your organization's people all over here! I'll be waiting for them on channel 879!"

Swish swish swish

Piece after piece of fresh meat was cut off, yet Li Zheng felt that such actions not only failed to diminish his inner rage but even made a violent aura knot in his chest, impossible to dispel.

"Sigh... seems you're unreliable."

Suddenly stopping, Li Zheng let out a long sigh and directly snapped a picture of Watanabe Shunyo's tragic state, then composed a message to the world channel.

[0000879 Li Zheng: [Photo of Lin Fengjiao's injuries] Here we have a Dragon Country player, cruelly harmed by members of High Celestial Plain, Gangban Rihuan and others, methods are ruthless and outrageous!

[Photo of Watanabe Shunyo] This is one of the culprits, does anyone in High Celestial Plain acknowledge him as one of yours?

Hereby I, Li Zheng, declare that anyone who harms the players of Dragon Country, shall face retribution, no matter how far!

Not convinced?

Come face me!]

As the world announcement blared, Li Zheng twisted his wrist, the dagger pierced through Watanabe Shunyo's throat, pinning him dead.

...

"Crazy... crazy!"

Gangmen Zhizuo trembled: "This… he… no… difficult..."

He wanted to say, seeing this situation, even if he begged for mercy, Li Zheng probably wouldn't spare him.

Wanting to survive, difficult.
