Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day

Chapter 1031 733: Mudala's Lack of Security

Before Li Zheng left District 950, he instructed Kota to gather all possible information with his two younger brothers, leaving them some living expenses to prevent starvation.

Although Li Zheng believes he knows far more than Kota does, Tiger Two and Tiger Three embarrassed him the day he returned, particularly in front of Feng Yue and Mudala, which was a humiliating disgrace.

Indeed, Kota stammered through a lot of gossip, either things Li Zheng already knew or unimportant to him.

Li Zheng listened quietly, making no comments about Kota's work ability, simply pointed at Tiger Two and Tiger Three, saying, "While I've been away, have your two foolish brothers squandered all the Crystal Coins I left you?"

If they hadn't wasted the money, how could they have done such disgraceful things?

"Boss, the funds are untouched, all here with me," Kota replied, "I couldn't get any information, so I stayed at the botanical garden helping Kang'er. He provided for my meals and lodging and paid me a salary. Not only did I not spend any of the money you left, I even saved twenty thousand White Crystal Coins."

Gritting his teeth, he looked at his two foolish brothers and said angrily, "Were it not for keeping them from starving, I could have saved fifty thousand more!"

If those wastrels weren't his brothers, he would have stopped caring whether they lived or died long ago.

In just two months, they not only squandered fifty thousand White Crystal Coins at the casinos and brothels but also learned to accrue debt.

Kota followed behind them, cleaning up their messes several times. In the end, there was no solution but to threaten that anyone who lent them money would get nothing from him, and only then did those two fools restrain themselves slightly.

"I've said before I hate my subordinates going to those two places," Li Zheng gestured to Kota, "You know what to do?"

"Understood!" Kota replied with a roar, his tiger claws spreading wide, sharp claws emerging from the gap between his fingers.

He walked over and grabbed Tiger Two and Tiger Three by the hair, raining down punches and kicks without hesitating, leaving his foolish brothers battered and bruised.

Listening to the exaggerated wails and pleas from Tiger Two and Tiger Three, Li Zheng shook his head, pretending not to hear, and said to Kang'er, "The reason why this Ancient Cang Hun Tree can't connect is because it's on the verge of complete death. Inform the merchant and cancel this transaction."

Upon hearing this, Kang'er didn't show much surprise, instead appearing to have a puzzle solved and agreement, saying, "Indeed, I considered this possibility but couldn't verify it."

He took out an inscription card, checking the box to cancel the order, "I'll return the goods immediately."

Li Zheng slyly kept the seed.

Although doing so violates Li Zheng's principles, the existence of the Ancient Cang Hun Tree is crucial to replicating essential items like the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill. He can rest easy only if it's in his hands or given to the terminal.

"Let the terminal compensate the merchant in other ways later," he thought as he watched Kang'er busy with returning and canceling orders.

As Kang'er occupied himself with returning goods and canceling orders, Li Zheng didn't disturb him, listening to the still loud cries from Tiger Two and Tiger Three. He shook his head and went over to stop it, then motioned to Feng Yue, "Come, help me make them suffer a little."

"Me?" Feng Yue, who was watching the commotion, was named suddenly and froze.

Not only Feng Yue paused, but Kota and his brothers were stunned on the spot.

Kota, as the eldest brother, wouldn't hit them ruthlessly.

Now the boss is letting an unfamiliar guy take action, and the person looks quite fierce.

They're doomed!

Tiger Two and Tiger Three glanced at each other, despair showing in their eyes.

"Isn't this a bit harsh?" Feng Yue hesitated, embarrassed to take action.

"They're just getting a little punishment, not being killed. What's there to be embarrassed about? If I wasn't worried Mudala would actually kill them, I wouldn't need you," Li Zheng turned and gestured, "Go ahead, they won't fight back."

Feng Yue touched his bald head, chuckling, "Even if they fight back, they can't beat me."

"Alright, it's up to you. I'll go rest for a bit, let me know when you're done here."

Li Zheng patted Feng Yue's shoulder, turning to leave with Mudala and Mirel to the greenhouse that had previously been cleared for him.

Feng Yue, who had long studied gravity projects, knew far more than others about the physical structure of many races, especially fragile joints. He knew how to make Tiger Two and Tiger Three suffer without injuring them. With this matter entrusted to Feng Yue, Li Zheng felt very secure.

"Mudala, I'll teach you how to gather nodes now."

Li Zheng asked Mudala to find a corner to sit, and said to her, "I'm about to enter your spiritual realm, don't resist."

Not everyone in this world is like Zhan Zhouzhou with exceptional Enlightenment, who can understand the way to gather Spiritual Power Nodes just from someone else explaining it once. Li Zheng couldn't describe it either; he could only use the old method Virtual had used on him, personally guiding her through the gathering process once.

"No problem." Mudala casually sat down, "Go ahead."

She seemed unprepared, trusting Li Zheng deeply, not fearing he might destroy her Spiritual Body during this.

Li Zheng entered the other's mind, quickly finding Mudala's spiritual realm, easily entering without encountering any resistance.

"The effect of the slave contract is truly terrifying," Li Zheng sighed inwardly.

Clearly, the slave contract was effective, causing Mudala to have no resistance against him; otherwise, she wouldn't really let Li Zheng enter her spiritual realm so easily.

Mudala's spiritual realm was different from what Li Zheng imagined; he thought it would reflect Mudala's thirty-plus years of living with flowers surrounding.

However, entering here, he found her spiritual realm unusually barren, even more devoid than Mirel's Abyss environment.

Looking around, all he saw was the bare earth, not even a stone.

And Mudala's spiritual body stood alone in the barren land's center, as if abandoned by the universe.

Interestingly enough, Mudala's spiritual body's surface was covered in thick armor; the armor fit tightly, encasing her from head to toe, leaving only openings for her eyes, ears, mouth, and nose.

Li Zheng evaluated Mudala, who was also observing him.

"Why do you appear like this in my spiritual realm?" Mudala asked, "Are you lacking a sense of security?"

"No."

Li Zheng slightly shook his head and explained, "What you're seeing is not me, but a reflection of your own Spiritual Power. You're seeing yourself."

"It's... me?" Mudala hesitated slightly, previously entering Li Zheng's mind and only seeing him standing tall, unable to glimpse his entirety. Suddenly realizing that what she saw then was just her magnified several hundred times.

"So, the one lacking security is actually you."

"Mudala."
