Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day

"Could it be that players from other channels have also found out that the doctor is here and followed the card to come?" Li Zheng really wanted to open the door and have a look, maybe even chat with them.

But he was worried about running too far and missing the time limit for delivering the transport task, so he ultimately held back and didn't act impulsively.

"Forget it, until the mission is delivered, it's better not to run around. It's quite possible that being on this channel for the first time is due to having a mission that brought me this close to the doctor.

Once over, with no reference point for pinpoint teleportation, the star thief's role becomes random, hardly worth the risk."

Turning around, he tossed out a capsule, and Li Zheng went in to inventory the excess materials from the Genetic Potion commissions over the past few days, then placed all the Black Iron Level at the forefront of Gong Yi's work sequence, urging it to expedite.

"The total number of all Black Iron Potions is almost forty thousand, how did these beasts manage that?" Li Zheng was greatly shocked, having not paid attention for a few days, organizing them earlier stunned him with this number.

Correspondingly, the number of Black Iron Level Power Cores have also reached an exaggerated figure. (I won't bother calculating, you all know I'm bad at math, I can even calculate 3×3×3 as 9³)

Unfortunately, no matter how many Black Iron Level Active Cores there are, they're of little use to Li Zheng right now.

"If sold grouped by enhancement limit, one set of Black Iron 1+ Potion totaling 40 bottles, could probably be traded for ten bottles of Bronze Blood Material without an issue."

Yes, after a few days of accumulation, Li Zheng had decided to sell off the ineffective potions he had on hand.

Although there is a risk of aiding the enemy with such actions, Black Iron level potions alone, even sold entirely to red-named players, how much harm could they cause?

Moreover, he's only selling Black Iron 1+ potions, and plans to digest those 2+ and above within Channel 879.

That's right!

Li Zheng plans to take the wool he's plucked and go shear another layer of oil from the sheep!

These past days, over nine hundred workers could have contributed even more wool, but due to the difficulty in obtaining Power Cores, these people had managed to gather this trading volume without affecting their own progress.

This also resulted in a small group still struggling at the Black Iron 2+ limit.

Yet now, this black-hearted Li Zheng still wants to shear another layer of fat off them!?

Absolutely heartless!

Li Zheng pondered with his chin in his hand: "Why do I feel like these folks have gotten off track?"

The massive trade volume for Black Iron level potions indicated that most people were still going through simple difficulty rooms ten times a day to ensure risks remained within controllable bounds.

"Haven't they thought about slaying a Silver Level creature for materials that can totally be exchanged for more Black Iron materials with players from other channels?"

Absolutely too complacent!

Li Zheng was frustrated: "I need to think of a way to urge them, or I'll never get a free ride with them!"

After doing some overseeing next to Gong Yi for a while, Li Zheng realized that one engineering humanoid couldn't handle this workload, so he crafted another one named Gong Er, with the two engineering humanoids switching shifts every two hours, ensuring seamless continuity.

Gold Level Active Core -1.

After settling that, Li Zheng pondered for a long while, then sorted through the orders in the trade hall, categorizing and packing all unsalable items, setting relatively low prices with trade targets mainly on various levels of blood materials and Power Cores.

By the time everything was done, an hour had passed, and Xiao Ying was already staring eagerly with Fen Poli beside him.

"It's only a little past five in the afternoon, and you're already waiting for dinner?" Li Zheng was speechless, and spent an hour and a half with Xiao Ying sorting out dinner.

There was one thing Li Zheng miscalculated.

After Xiao Ying's size doubled, her appetite more than just doubled.

It more than tripled!

Tonight Xiao Ying was satisfied only after finishing three portions of the meal by herself before taking Fen Poli out to digest.

"It's over, this guy's appetite has multiplied, soon I won't be able to afford to feed her!" Li Zheng sighed deeply standing at the overfilled gate of the freezer.

So poor~

Putting on airs aside.

Li Zheng was quite puzzled, for when the freezer was newly built, it hadn't contained this much food, so how did it suddenly double in quantity?

After flipping through trade records, he realized it was thanks to those things he threw into the trade hall earlier, many set in "sell for cash" mode.

Causing many, whether they needed it or not, to flood in with meat ingredients for trading, nearly causing a storage overflow.

As everyone knows, meat ingredients are the least valuable in Matrix...

Especially the inedible types, those are dirt cheap!

The nanny dutifully crammed all the food that appeared in the residence into the freezer.

Now Li Zheng had to sort it, picking out the inedible meats to send for composting.

"These scoundrels, is Carrion Hound Meat edible? Let me see... damn! Did you actually trade thirty pieces of meat for a Desert Fire Scorpion's shell? Were you kicked in the head by a donkey?"

"Oh, Black Iron for Bronze—30 to 1—my own setup... MMP! Blame myself?"

"...Damn it! More than once? No wonder my warehouse is full of useless stuff, want me to block you?"

...

Li Zheng grumbled while sorting, working with the nanny to clear nearly one-third of the ice room's space.

It's imaginable how many treated his place like a trash bin when he wasn't paying attention...

"It's fine, not wasted, at least the compost will be put to use." Li Zheng consoled himself.

In the future, he'll learn this lesson, never to mess around like this again.

Luckily these trash meats were discovered early, avoiding contamination of precious ingredients like crab meat and roe.

Thankfully he didn't check the gray quality option when setting up, avoiding sand and stones from cluttering his abode.

Or he'd have nowhere to cry!

Leaving the freezer, Li Zheng grabbed two Honey Fruits, cracked one open, and ate it.

Sweet food boosts mood; whenever feeling down, eating something sweet tends to evoke happiness.

That's what Li Zheng had read online; true or not, after two bites, Li Zheng did feel somewhat relieved.

At the door, he tossed the other Honey Fruit to Xiao Ying, and received a private chat reminder.

Thinking it was Zhan Zhouzhou starting a live stream, he opened it, only for a familiar yet slightly strange name to appear.

Opening the info, Li Zheng almost flared his nostrils in anger!

"Hey, big spender, why'd you change the trade method? I order you to change it back quickly, don't be ungrateful!"

Li Zheng opened the trade info; wasn't this the joker trading Carrion Hound Meat?

Another look, this person even had historical private chats...

"I'm the Lone Wolf Organization's head; Arctic Cattail is requisitioned by me, hope you know your place."

No wonder this previous chat message seemed familiar.

Turns out, this was the same troublemaker?

Glancing at the person's channel number and name, Li Zheng memorized: "Yan Feixiang, is it? You're done for!"

Yan Feixiang wasn't fazed, replying immediately: "Yo, your brother Xiang grew up fearless, doesn't fall for your tricks, got it? Be wise and change the trade hall back to how it was, or else... hmm hmm!"

Li Zheng chuckled: "Or else what?"

Yan Feixiang replied: "You know Chu Xiao, right? That righteous hero is my sworn brother! You know Ye Kai, right? He's my second sworn brother! Want me to send them over to deal with you?"

Now Li Zheng's interest was piqued, could Chu Xiao and Ye Kai secretly be up to such antics?

Unheard of!

No!

This was truly an unheard-of tale!

Looking at Yan Feixiang's profile picture, a very young face, no older than seventeen.

"Are teenagers these days so brash?" Li Zheng sent a screenshot to Chu Xiao and Ye Kai, "You know this person?"

Quickly, Chu Xiao replied: "Who's this dumbass?"

Ye Kai also replied: "Do I seem like the type to swear brotherhood with such an idiot?"

Li Zheng understood, realizing he encountered a swindler.

Didn't this Yan Feixiang realize that, despite knowing Chu Xiao and Ye Kai, he didn't know Li Zheng's name?

Now Li Zheng felt defiant.

He clearly spoke in the World Channel more frequently than them, so why wasn't his fame at their level?
