Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day

Chapter 271 Who is the Author of Journey to the West?_2



Because the terminal comes with a translation feature, players can understand and comprehend any country's language, even dialects.

But this doesn't mean what they see and hear are translated languages; it's simply that they can "understand".

That's why the looters must disguise their language, or they'll easily expose their identity.

At the very least, it will expose which country they're from.

"Unfortunately, being too clever ended up backfiring. Your looter, Little Dog, once studied the English accents of each country, which led to your disguise failing!" Banquan Longma's eyes were almost ablaze.

"Stealing Country folks, what audacity, daring to seize the opportunity of discord between Creation and Li Zheng to steal resources from a warehouse!"

Banquan Longma decided to suspend all of Creation's plans to retaliate against the thieves who dared to loot Creation.

"In Stealing Country, there are only two organizations that would do such a thing, New Heaven and Earth and Room N." Banquan Longma recalled information about these two organizations.

"New Heaven and Earth is just a bunch of lunatics, they have the heart and courage of thieves, but no brains. It's hard for them to plan something like this in a short time."

The New Heaven and Earth organization was once the largest cult in Stealing Country, with many members.

After entering the Matrix, a leader rallied all the followers in the name of New Heaven and Earth, continued brainwashing, and referred to the Matrix Realm as the New World mentioned in their doctrine.

Their goal is to conquer this so-called "New World" and create an ideal Divine Kingdom.

No matter how absurd that goal may be, from this alone, one can see that members of New Heaven and Earth aren't very bright.

If they were bright, they wouldn't believe in such a church...

"Room N is a group formed by members of major conglomerates, harboring a bunch of thugs who commit all sorts of crimes. This heist seems like something they would do." Banquan Longma's eyes were deep as he was almost certain Room N was the mastermind behind this creation heist.

Soon, he gathered a high-ranking group from Creation to study how to get revenge on Room N.

Meanwhile, the real masterminds were dividing the spoils.

Channel 879, Ye Kai, Ye Yuan, and Chu Xiao were all in a room, sitting around a lit campfire, with materials and tools piled up like a small mountain next to them.

Among them were some Platinum Level materials, and even individual and group Space Jumping Devices were abundant.

Ye Yuan leisurely chewed on a fruit, her eyes glued to the pile of tools, unwilling to look away: "Thinking about giving half of this stuff to them makes my heart bleed."

Ye Kai sat on the other side of the campfire, holding a dark green bottle, taking two large gulps, and released a satisfied sigh: "There's no other way. We were only able to succeed this time thanks to that thing they provided. Be content with getting half."

Ye Yuan grumbled discontentedly: "But we did the work and took the risk. Why do they get half without doing anything?"

Chu Xiao sat with his back to the materials, raising his head at the words: "Be thankful. If it weren't for my old pal contacting me by chance, we wouldn't have hit this jackpot!"

He paused and continued, "Moreover, wasn't the entire plan drafted by them from beginning to end? They even gave you a crash course in English, enough for you to show off."

"Tsk!" Ye Yuan spat out a piece of fruit peel, disdainfully saying: "Just a few English phrases, what's so special about that? Plus, that language expert your friend found was worthless, right? Why does it feel like the English I learned has a dialect accent to it?"

"Dialect?" Ye Kai put down the bottle, burped with bubbles: "Burp—you're wrong there. It's not a dialect accent. That's the accent when Stealing Country people speak English. I had a Stealing Country student in college, and her English had that accent.

I'm curious, Old Chu, where did your friend find that language expert? The accent was really strong."

"How would I know?" Chu Xiao rolled his eyes, "They're so disciplined, they wouldn't say a word they shouldn't."

"Hehehe." Ye Kai didn't seem to mind but instead laughed peculiarly: "What do you think, how long will it take for Creation to realize that it wasn't Stealing Country that robbed them but the three of us?"

"That's hard to say." Chu Xiao scrutinized the entire plan, looking for any oversights.

After confirming there were no mistakes, he said, "It depends on whether Creation can keep their cool after such a huge loss. If they can't and fall out with Stealing Country first, I'd guess they might not realize even after they're knee-deep in conflict."

Misunderstandings fear reason.

But this matter can't be reasoned with.

Because no matter how Stealing Country denies, in Creation's eyes, it becomes "denying".

Ye Yuan tilted her head, thought for a moment, and suddenly said: "Did you realize our way of paying them back in their own coin?

Creation falsely accused Li Zheng two days ago, and today we used the same method to trouble them, and with a success rate much higher than their direct plan."

Ye Kai pondered for a moment after hearing that and laughed: "No kidding, it really is! Too bad we've all signed a confidentiality agreement. Otherwise, I'd love to tell Li Zheng about this and cheer him up."

"Forget it, he's got enough to worry about these days. Let's not add to his troubles." Chu Xiao shook his head, offering an opposing view, when suddenly his expression paused as if he glanced at a private message, "We got news, asking us to deliver the goods to a player named Tang Qianzang."

"Tang Qianzang? That's a strange name." Ye Kai put the dark green bottle aside, stood up, and the three began sorting through the mountain of materials and tools.

Because all three had signed an agreement, which included a post-heist division clause, they could not breach it.

As Ye Yuan organized the items, she muttered, "If Tang Sanzang has to fetch the scriptures ten times, how many times does Tang Qianzang have to?"

Ye Kai heard this, curiously asking, "Didn't Tang Sanzang only fetch the scriptures once? Where did the ten times come from?"

Chu Xiao interjected, "The successful one was the tenth time, the previous nine attempts all failed."

"Failed? Nine times?" Ye Kai was incredulous, "Are we even reading the same Journey to the West? How come I didn't know about this setting?"

Ye Yuan looked at him with disdain: "You skim through books, it's no wonder you miss the one-liner setups. The reincarnations of Golden Cicada failed to fetch the scriptures nine times because they were eaten by Sha Wujing. It was only the tenth time, guarded by the monkey, that they succeeded."

"Is that so?" Ye Kai scratched his cheek, feeling that something was off with this explanation but couldn't find a flaw to counter it, so he assumed he indeed missed it.

After a while, he suddenly looked up and asked: "Do you think the nine previous reincarnations of Golden Cicada were also named Tang Sanzang?"

This question left Chu Xiao and Ye Yuan stunned.

They looked at each other, waiting for the other to answer, but no one knew.

Ye Yuan looked down: "Who knows, why don't you ask Luo Guanzhong? Journey to the West was written by him, he's the author."

Ye Kai found a chance to retort: "Luo Guanzhong? He's the author of Water Margin!"

Chu Xiao looked down at his work, only lifting his head after a while, bewildered: "Isn't Shi Nai'an the author of Water Margin?"

Ye Yuan suddenly remembered: "Right, right, Luo Guanzhong is the author of Romance of the Three Kingdoms!"

She then mocked her brother: "All your readings of the three great classics are in vain, you can't even tell the authors apart."

"Hey~" Ye Kai looked shocked: "You just said Luo Guanzhong wrote Journey to the West. How is it suddenly my fault?"

"Hmph, can't I remember wrongly?!" Ye Yuan stubbornly replied.

Ye Kai, unwilling to back down, said: "Fine, why not? Just tell me who the author of Journey to the West is, and I'll admit I wasted the three great classics."

"The author of Journey to the West is..." Ye Yuan was at a loss for words, turning to look at Chu Xiao.

Chu Xiao was originally enjoying the show, but now quickly lowered his head, pretending he knew nothing.

Ye Yuan: "..."

Ye Kai: "Well?"

"I... I fed the dog!" Ye Yuan, relying on her younger age, began to act shamelessly, "You don't get to gloat; you're feeding the dog with me! Hmph!"

"Feed the dog... Wait!" Ye Kai suddenly halted: "Wasn't it four great classics, not three?"

...

Li Zheng chatted with Ye Kai for a while, just when the time passed midnight, and today's Treasure Chest finally refreshed.

After determining the quality, Li Zheng listened to the voice coming into his ear, eyes widening, in disbelief.

"This quality... it's incredible!"
