Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day

Returning to the cramped room, Li Zheng used the Mysterious Declaration to dispel the darkness before looking at Sakura.

Although not much had changed, Li Zheng couldn't shake the feeling that something was different about Sakura after coming out of the Gravity Room.

[After a period of special training, the pet's Fast Flight ability has advanced to "Rapid Flight". Finding such a treasure pet is truly like striking gold.]

Advanced?

Li Zheng was slightly surprised and looked carefully at the wings behind Sakura.

The previously "frail" wings had become somewhat robust, hardly noticeable unless closely observed.

"Ow?" Sakura tilted its head in confusion, not understanding why Li Zheng was looking at it that way.

All it wanted now was to quickly leave this room. It was so cramped here that there was no space to fly, making it feel uncomfortable from the bottom of its heart.

Li Zheng patted its head, filled with emotion: "Such an ambitious nature, it's really reassuring."

Judging from the outcome, he speculated that Sakura must have practiced flying intensely in the Gravity Room for nearly two hours to advance this ability.

Li Zheng suddenly thought of that white cat captured by Feng, realizing Sakura's talent was simply out of this world!

Sakura squinted, its eyes curved into crescent moons. Just like when it was young, it loved being patted on the head by Li Zheng.

"Poli!"

Pa!

The pink Poli suddenly slapped away Li Zheng's hand, huffing as it stood protectively in front of Sakura, glaring at Li Zheng.

Li Zheng was astonished and then couldn't help but laugh.

The pink Poli was actually jealous.

This guy really had a deep attachment to Sakura, to the point where even he wasn't allowed to touch it anymore.

"Ow!" Sakura didn't expect Poli to act this way either. After a moment of confusion, it pulled Poli into its arms, hugging it tightly until Poli was shaped like an '8'.

It was warning Poli not to treat Li Zheng with such an attitude.

"Poli~" Poli made a pitiful sound, pleading for mercy.

Li Zheng wasn't surprised by Sakura's protective behavior but worried it might affect its relationship with Poli, so he softly said, "It's okay, Poli just likes you too much."

"Ow!" Sakura squeezed Poli a bit, holding it up in front of Li Zheng, asking Poli to apologize.

Facing Li Zheng, Poli reluctantly let out a few cries as an apology.

Just like rubbing Sakura, Li Zheng petted Poli a couple of times: "Alright, I accept its apology. You can let it go now."

Poli felt soft to the touch, not like cold water, but with a bit of warmth, like a huge silicone piece.

Li Zheng looked at his palm, inexplicably reminded of Zhan Zhouzhou.

When that girl bumped into him, the feeling was quite similar to touching Poli.

"This feeling... amazing!" Li Zheng really wanted to grab Poli a couple more times, but unfortunately, it was Sakura's exclusive; it usually didn't let him touch it.

"Ow~."

Sakura released Poli and urged Li Zheng to leave quickly. It didn't want to stay even a moment longer in this cramped space.

"Alright, let's go." Li Zheng composed himself and checked the time.

There were less than five hours until the refresh, with eight exploration opportunities remaining in the Mysterious Declaration. He needed to pick up the pace.

"Next room..." Scanning the other metal doors back and forth, he locked onto the one with the Earth Dragon.

He had slain quite a few Diamond Level creatures before, so he was confident in taking down the Earth Dragon.

Just as he approached to swipe his card, the system suddenly sent two notifications.

[You have a new designated transaction.]

[You have a new private message.]

Opening the trading hall, he found items sent by Lu Li. Upon extraction, it turned out to be three types of Gold Level blood materials, totaling fifteen bottles.

The seller's note: Tuition fee.

These blood materials were just what Li Zheng needed to make Golden Potions to enhance his physique.

The private message was also from Lu Li, with only one sentence: "Forgot to thank you earlier for avenging my brother."

Jin Zaiyin was the catalyst for Lu Manjiang's suicide; by killing him, Li Zheng avenged Lu Manjiang as well.

"No problem, it's what I should have done." Li Zheng replied briefly, then focused on his exploration again.

The Earth Dragon's room was different from what he had imagined.

Li Zheng thought such an Earth Attribute creature would live on barren mountain ridges or in dark caves.

Upon entering, it turned out to be a vast tropical rainforest.

Soft moonlight descended from the sky, draping the rainforest in a misty veil.

"The environment's nice, just a bit humid." Li Zheng listened closely, seemingly hearing the sound of water splashing nearby.

"There really is a lake, looks like this time besides an Earth Dragon, I can also gather a lot of fresh water." Li Zheng pressed down the eager-to-fly Sakura and stashed away the Mysterious Declaration, moving through the bushes and trees towards the direction of the water sound.

Old Pu had already provided the hint; the Earth Dragon was in that direction.

Under the faint moonlight, Li Zheng's Silver Level vision helped him navigate through the tropical rainforest with ease.

Soon, a lake appeared before his eyes.

Standing at the edge of the woods, Li Zheng saw a creature resembling a giant crocodile rolling in the lake.

[Earth Dragon

Tier: Diamond

Abilities: Earth Ridge Stab, Rampage, Earth-Shaking, Rock Armor

Characteristics: Tough skin and flesh

Weakness: Not very agile

Threat Level: High

Old Pu's assessment: A proud reptile, having long noticed the uninvited guest's arrival, yet disdaining to launch a preemptive attack.]

"It discovered me already?" Li Zheng looked at the Earth Dragon still rolling in the lake, feeling slightly speechless. Should he call it bold or skilled? It blatantly ignored his approach.

"Sakura, give it a greeting!"

With a shout, Li Zheng immediately activated Power Demon Incarnation, charging out of the rainforest toward the Earth Dragon.

At the same time, the Earth Dragon stopped rolling, its pale yellow eyes gleaming in the moonlight.

Rumble—

Rumble—

Amidst the continuous roaring sounds, several Earth Ridges shot up from the ground, two blocking Li Zheng's path, and two others rising from under the lake, toppling the Earth Dragon over.

The ground trembled unceasingly, and the two Earth Ridges Sakura sent were abruptly disintegrating into fragments of stone powder.

Earth-Shaking!

Sakura's greeting was thwarted, the Earth Dragon's pale yellow eyes showing a hint of anger; it seemed to recognize the ability originally belonging to Earth Dragons.

"Roar!"

Roaring towards the sky, with a swipe of its massive tail, it parted the lake waters, charging at the little giant circling from behind the Earth Ridge.

Rampage!

Pale yellow light spread to the Earth Dragon's head, forming something akin to a Light Shield, emanating immense momentum.

The Earth Dragon's limbs appeared short, but its charging speed was unexpectedly not slow at all.

On the contrary, the foundational strength of a Diamond Level creature made its charge full of pressure.

Li Zheng instinctively used Short Distance Teleportation to the side, instantly moving three meters away, evading the head-on crash.

"Sword Comes!"

With Sheathed Sword in hand, Li Zheng didn't stop, turning to pursue the Earth Dragon that rushed past.

"Extreme Isolation!"

"Ice and Fire Attachment - Ice Element!"

Pale blue chill gathered at the tip of the sword, the Ice Element's Armor Piercing attribute greatly enhanced after Ice and Fire Attachment reached full level.

"Passing Swift!"

The sword shot out like a rainbow, and even before he arrived, the icy brilliance was already there.
