Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day

"I'm not joining you guys, I have someone who already invited me." Liu Jiale popped up in the group chat, indicating he already had a team reservation.

Ye Yuan also messaged, "My brother and I plan to wait and see first. With a total of forty-three mutated creatures and a seven-day deadline from the Terminal, there's definitely something off."

You can tell from the rewards that this event's difficulty is certainly very high. Casual players might suffer heavy losses if they join recklessly.

The Terminal, for some reason, didn't provide the power distribution of the mutated creatures, leaving players to explore on their own.

Li Zheng had some thoughts about this too.

Precisely because of the event's mysterious difficulty, he linked it to the folks from Fudao Island.

After all, he had personally experienced it and knew very well how powerful the members from Fudao Island were.

Chu Xiao obviously had the same idea, "I'm not as strong as you guys, I'll observe for a while too."

As a result, a third of the few members in the group could not form a team.

Liu Jiale was originally at the top of Li Zheng's list, but ended up getting invited by someone else.

Among the remaining people, only Yan Guang, Phoenix Mountain, and Zhan Zhouzhou had relatively strong abilities.

Li Chun could only be considered half; her pet is somewhat powerful, but she herself is weaker. Even if Li Zheng was intentionally or unintentionally training her, she hadn't grown much yet.

Li Zheng thought for a moment and called in the group, "Zhan Zhouzhou, Yan Guang, and Phoenix Mountain, you three come with me, and we'll find one more teammate, then go explore the depths of the mutations."

"Okay." Zhan Zhouzhou had no objections; she was strong enough that teaming up with anyone didn't matter.

Yan Guang asked in the group, "What about Yu Xiaoyu? Should we take her? I've been observing her these past couple of days, she's quite capable and ranks in the top twenty in our channel's power ranking."

"No! Don't take her!" Phoenix Mountain was the first to oppose, "She's sticking around so much it's annoying. Leave her behind so I can have some peace."

Compared to Yu Xiaoyu, Phoenix Mountain would rather act together with Yan Guang.

At least Yan Guang doesn't cling to him all day like Yu Xiaoyu does.

Li Zheng thought carefully and also agreed that not taking Yu Xiaoyu was better, considering that girl was part of Kunlun.

Taking her along might expose others' details.

"Who should we take as the other person?" Li Zheng said in the group, "Why not bring Lu Li? His sniper rifle has been enhanced by the Blacksmith, quietly providing long-range fire support is reliable."

Zhan Zhouzhou said, "Either way."

Phoenix Mountain and Yan Guang also had no objections.

But Lu Li himself had a bit of a problem.

He weakly chimed in the group, "Um... I can't go, I didn't register."

Li Zheng: "..."

With a five-minute registration period, anyone could submit an application to participate in the event.

And you say you didn't register?

Lu Li was a bit embarrassed too, "I just got sick, my brain just froze, and I missed the registration time."

Since he said so, no one blamed him.

After all, illness is an uncontrollable force majeure, and it's normal not to control it.

Xiao Siyuan said in the group, "Why not bring Lin Fengjiao? If the mutants are Fudao Island members, letting her participate a bit might help her overcome her psychological shadow."

Lin Fengjiao's ability in the group is at the bottom, only slightly better than the support-type player Xiao Siyuan, bringing her would be like bringing a burden.

Xiao Siyuan knew this too, but his suggestion, apart from a promise to Lin Fengjiao, also considered that this team included Li Zheng and Zhan Zhouzhou.

These two gathered together can handle almost any situation, and taking a burden along isn't a big issue.

Li Zheng thought it over, they could let Lin Fengjiao and Yan Guang provide remote fire support together as long as she was equipped with a weapon.

With Yan Guang and Xiao Ying looking after her, safety is still well assured.

In fact, compared to Lin Fengjiao, taking Li Chun would be better, at least she has another High Tier pet as a combat strength.

But since Old Xiao personally asked Li Zheng to take Lin Fengjiao, Li Zheng couldn't refuse.

So Li Zheng accepted Xiao Siyuan's proposal and gave the last team spot to Lin Fengjiao.

Thus, for Matrix's first major event, Li Zheng's team was confirmed.

While they each took a break, adjusting their states, there was a sudden burst of excitement in the world channel.

A player team had attempted to tackle the mutated creatures, five went in, and only two barely made it out alive.

He issued a warning in the world channel, "Be careful, the mutants are very strong! All five of us were in the top fifty in channel power, and three of us didn't even last thirty seconds before we died!"

This person led by sharing information, and subsequently, several others spoke up, explaining that the event had a very high difficulty, and almost certain death awaited ordinary players.

Another person commented in the world channel, "Once you teleport over, you have to wait thirty seconds before you can use event tickets to teleport back. If you're not confident about surviving for thirty seconds against a Diamond Level creature, definitely don't join this event!"

Someone else added, "Let me add that the power level of the mutants is absolutely not just as simple as Diamond! Players outside the top twenty in each channel's power ranking are advised to give up on this event, or face the consequences themselves!"

...

These people spoke in the world channel less than ten minutes after the Terminal's announcement. In these ten minutes, each channel had some headstrong individuals who oddly believed in their own strength and never returned from the mutated creature room.
