Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day

Li Zheng thrust his sword, instinctively using the "Passing Swift" technique, the sword moved like lightning, reaching the ultimate speed.

Puff!

This thrust pierced through the opponent's body, but Li Zheng frowned, something felt off.

The longsword in his hand clearly pierced through the opponent, yet it felt like it touched nothing, like stabbing into air.

"Hehe."

Ten meters away, a figure cackled wickedly, emerging from the ground, initially pitch-black, gradually forming into a normal human shape.

"Shadow Escape?" Li Zheng just glanced at the opponent and understood his ability from the information Old Pu provided.

A Gold Level Lv4 Genetic Ability: Abyssal Shadow Escape.

Leave an attacking shadow in place to confuse the enemy while hiding and moving within the shadow.

The weakness is that the ability fails in a no-light environment.

The downside is the high Genetic Force consumption, with a basic cost of 15 points.

This means that even at full force, he can only use it five times.

After that Shadow Escape, he's left with only 13 points of Genetic Force, unable to use the ability again for a minute.

Li Zheng quickly scanned the room's environment, noticing debris scattered on the ground not far away. Clearly, this player had just endured a fierce battle, which severely depleted his force.

Not far on the other side, a female player in tattered clothes lay motionless on the ground.

[Name: Shinoda Chizuru

Race: Human

Status: Poisoned and paralyzed/Multiple soft tissue injuries

...]

Li Zheng squinted slightly, emitting a hint of danger, as any adult could deduce what the man had done to the female player not long before.

The Bloody appeared fierce and brutal, covered in fleshy scars on his face, clearly not a friendly person.

Exiting the shadow state, he stretched out his crimson tongue, licking his lips, and sneered: "Who are you? I haven't seen your profile on the combat leaderboard."

"..."

Li Zheng remained unmoved, aware that his opponent was stalling for time to recover Genetic Force.

Just as he was about to raise his sword and attack, a black shadow flashed across the corner of his eye, quicker than he was.

Caught off guard, the person got punched in the face.

Puff!

The red-name player was struck hard, distorting his mouth and eyes, a few broken teeth flying out, landing on the ground.

"Sakura?"

The event unfolded in a flash, and Li Zheng instinctively thought his pet had taken the first strike.

"Ow?"

Unexpectedly, the little creature's voice came from behind.

Li Zheng turned his head in surprise, spotting Sakura holding an Earth Dragon Crystal Core, looking at him with confusion.

Below, a faint pink ribbon extended from the little creature's leg.

"What is this!"

Following the extended ribbon, the pink stretched over ten meters, transforming at the end into two pink iron fists, pummeling the Bloody player without reprieve.

Li Zheng was astounded: "How did the Pink Poli follow us? Could it be I inadvertently tamed one?"

At this moment, under Old Pu's detection, the Pink Poli's attributes changed.

[Pink Poli

Tier: Platinum

Status: Mimicry·Muscle Monster Fist]

The attributes were brief, and Li Zheng scanned them quickly, feeling a hint of doubt.

"Strange, no pet information displayed?"

Opening the pet panel, only Sakura's profile hung there alone.

Li Zheng was now sure that this Pink Poli had no connection with him.

It was brought into this room in a wild state.

However, this made it even stranger for Li Zheng.

In the last room, he hadn't communicated with any Poli at all, even if Sakura briefly mingled among them, how could there be a connection to the Pink Poli?

The group was Blue Poli, so how come a Pink Poli followed?

Could it be that Sakura caught the interest of this Pink Poli while writhing among them?

"Wait, this Pink Poli looks familiar?"

Following the extended body of the Pink Poli, Li Zheng suddenly noticed a bit of soil mixed inside a certain part.

This characteristic, Li Zheng had seen before; it belonged to the latest "born" Pink Poli.

Li Zheng was genuinely startled: "This race is defying the odds! A few minutes after birth, and it can already exert Platinum-level combat power!?"

This scene was extremely terrifying, leaving Li Zheng feeling a cold chill.

He was very relieved that he hadn't angered these "little cuties" in the last room; otherwise…

That was no less than fifty Platinum-level Poli!

Not just Li Zheng alone, even the top ten of the 879 channel's combat leaderboard wouldn't stand a chance!

Li Zheng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, feeling lingering fear: "Now I understand why this bizarre race hasn't been wiped out."

The risk isn't proportional to the reward; provoking them is utterly pointless.

Newborn Pink Poli not only can directly mimic Platinum-level but also possess decent combat instincts.

To Li Zheng, the red-name player encountered wasn't weak either, wielding a Tiberium Alloy Tachi.

The techniques using the Tachi were precise and structured, resembling the Iaido Slash from Nihong Country.

Under the relentless attack of the Muscle Monster Fists, occasionally swinging a cut could yield some miraculous effects.

Unfortunately, the Poli race's bodies were equivalent to pure water; even if cut, the blade just passed through.

The Tachi sliced through the Monster Fists, which reconnected almost immediately, continuing the seamless assault.

Most bizarre was the fact that upon each hit, the contact area became incredibly solid.

After observing for a while, Li Zheng realized: "This isn't innate combat instinct, merely not fearing being hit, purely reckless!"

The Pink Poli getting sliced didn't hurt at all.

But the player taking a punch? Eyes blackened and teeth shattered.

This...

How do you fight that?

The red-name player clearly realized this as well, attempting to break through the Pink Poli's offensive barrier to attack Li Zheng.

His Genetic Force had recovered enough for one Shadow Escape but he hadn't used it rashly for offense.

He figured if this player's pet was already this formidable, and there was another Dragon-like one in reserve.

Shadow Escape was more effective for escape and avoiding damage.

For offense, if the opponent was prepared, success was almost impossible.

Multiple attempts to break through were repelled by the Pink Poli's chaotic punches each time.

Realizing this, the man's swollen eyelids revealed a sinister, venomous glare, staring at Li Zheng.

Seemingly trying to memorize Li Zheng's appearance.

Afterwards, he silently turned back, running towards the paralyzed Shinoda Chizuru.

The Pink Poli didn't pursue, instead retracting and affectionately rubbing against Sakura.

Li Zheng ignored them, sheathing his sword and pulling out the Daiyu Spear.

Brace the spear, aim, shoot!

"Ice and Fire Attachment - Ice!"

The Genetic Ability launched fiercely, the chilling frost encasing the energy bomb, transforming into a long, splendid Blue Ice Bullet, ejected forth.
