Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day

Chapter 1045 - 747: You’re No Longer My Daddy!

Good heavens!

Li Zheng was dumbfounded upon hearing this. What kind of godly race is the Nine-tailed Race, that they’re so united?

If one of their tribe members is bullied, the whole tribe immediately stands up for them. The sense of belonging in the Nine-tailed Race is excessively strong, isn’t it?

No wonder Kang’er was so cautious earlier; he was worried about provoking the old woman from the Nine-tailed Race and getting himself into trouble.

"That’s all I know about the Nine-tailed Race and the Celestial Fox Race." Kang’er bowed and said, "If you want to know more intelligence about the myriad races, you can visit the Matrix Information Center in District One to inquire. It has collected information on all races that have entered the Matrix, including their histories."

District One.

Li Zheng recalled that Kang’er had mentioned that the self-replicating soil was also located in District One. Perhaps he could visit there when he had the time, and he might discover more things he didn’t know.

"Alright, go ahead and attend to your affairs."

Li Zheng waved his hand to let Kang’er go about his business, then he took Mirel and Mudala to the greenhouse, leaving Feng Yue outside.

"Mirel, I have something I want you to help me verify, but... it might involve some unforeseeable risks." Li Zheng laid out the bedding and let Mirel sit down.

"You want me to verify whether the Destruction Race’s contract runes can be used by other races and what the effects are after using them?" Mirel was much smarter than Li Zheng, but she usually refrained from interfering with Li Zheng unless he couldn’t figure things out, and only then she would help analyze.

Unfortunately, the things she knew were often known by Li Zheng as well, and at most, she helped sort through his thoughts. Gradually, her talent became submerged.

"They can be used." Mudala spoke up from the side, "As long as the complete rune is remembered, any race can cast a contract on others, and the effects are generally the same."

The old Saintess had taught her these things. Mudala felt that the only trick the old Saintess played on her might be the inversion of the contract’s usage, but the other information should be correct without the need to fake it.

"..." Li Zheng pondered for two seconds and said, "Since it can be used and the effects are the same, there’s nothing worth trying."

"No, try it." Mirel suggested, "But instead of trying the complete contract, see if the incomplete version works and if the contract’s effect can be reduced by controlling its completeness."

"No way!" Mudala quickly stopped him, "A contract only takes effect at the moment the complete rune is drawn, anything missing not only fails to form a contract but may also damage your Spiritual Power."

After all, the "ink" used for drawing contract runes is Spiritual Power, and it is the origin power of Spiritual Power; only this way does the contract rune link with its creator.

Once the contract takes effect, most of the spiritual origin can mysteriously return to oneself through the contract, leaving only a small part to maintain the contract’s operation.

If drawing fails, then the used spiritual origins are like paint on an unfinished oil painting and will be lost.

"According to this, isn’t modifying contract runes almost impossible?" Li Zheng felt the terminal had miscalculated this time; perhaps it hadn’t anticipated the domineering nature of the Destruction Race’s contract.

"Not necessarily." Mudala paused to consider then said, "It is said that the contract rune on each of my race’s members is unique; maybe gathering more could reveal a pattern?"

She wasn’t sure, though, as the old Saintess hadn’t taught her this knowledge, yet some Bedroom Secret Skills were taught.

Mudala guessed that the reason the old Saintess taught her those was due to the fear that the contract might not fully restrain those coming to fulfill the agreement, intending to use allure to further entrap them.

Clearly, the old Saintess’s schemes failed; not only was the contract inversion trap seen through by Li Zheng, but even the Bedroom Secret Skills were unusable. Following Li Zheng all this time, she hadn’t noticed any worldly desires in him.

It was as if... this person had no need for such desires at all.

Little did she know, as a member of the Enchanting Demon Race, Mirel had shown Li Zheng all the tricks that could be played, and at first, when they were suppressing impulses, they reached peaks seven or eight times a day. Even if Li Zheng had kidneys of iron, he would have long exhausted them.

"Are you trying to use such words to get me to find your tribe members quickly to help you take revenge?" Li Zheng raised an eyebrow.

"Absolutely not!" Mudala replied sincerely, "I am just doing my best to find a way for the master. This is the only feasible method; if the master doesn’t believe, just pretend you didn’t hear it."

"Is that so?" Li Zheng hesitated whether to transfer the contract out of the Dark Realm for questioning, as once the contract is moved out from the Dark Realm, Mudala would fully become a puppet loyal to him, answering all thoughts and ideas truthfully.

Mudala looked sincere with no sign of hesitation, convinced she was guiltless.

This made Li Zheng abandon his previous thought and temporarily trust Mudala.

"I think her suggestion has a very high feasibility." Mirel thought carefully and said, "The pattern of contract runes is like highly similar puzzle pieces; perhaps gathering more samples could indeed help us understand the contract’s essence more deeply."

"You’re right!" Li Zheng immediately agreed with Mirel’s idea, adding promptly to his itinerary to find more members of the Destruction Race.

"..." Mudala opened her mouth but eventually closed it without speaking.

She wanted to ask why the same words from her mouth weren’t trusted, but when said by someone else, they were immediately believed by the master?

Clearly, she was wholeheartedly dedicated too...

The setback hit her hard, but she rekindled her spirit shortly afterward.

Since the master has reservations about me, I’ll make every effort to reverse the master’s view of me!

Mudala hadn’t realized she was currently under the contract’s influence. They all underestimated the power of the Destruction Race slave contract; even with much of its impact isolated in the Dark Realm, the remaining energy subtly affects one’s ideas unknowingly.

When Li Zheng eventually releases Mudala from the contract, this influence would be deeply rooted in her spiritual depths, hard to eliminate.

The main goal for Li Zheng visiting District Nine Fifty was to check on Kuimi’s condition, trying to heal her, and after completing this task, it was left to see if Hu Er and Hu San would change.

However, this matter isn’t urgent. Professor Rothschild instructed him to relax for fifteen days, though this is just the fifth day, enough time to wait for Hu Er and Hu San to return, and then take Kota and others to live in District Four.

Those three fools, while not very bright, are obedient enough to do tasks in District Four that don’t require much thought—very suitable.

That night, Li Zheng’s group rested at the Botanical Garden, and during the night, the Treasure Chest refreshed. He and Mirel found a secluded spot to extract and open it, receiving another Wish Stone Fragment.

"What number of fragment is this?" Mirel expressed dissatisfaction with the Treasure Chest only yielding fragments, as she hadn’t felt the joy of discovering treasures for a long time.

"I don’t know, I haven’t counted." Li Zheng casually stored the fragment in a capsule, uninterested in it and how many he owned.

In essence, assembling a complete Wish Stone remains a distant goal, and he even suspected the Treasure Chest System was blatantly shirking through this method.

The Treasure Chest System only delivering Wish Stone Fragments is no longer the reliable treasure daddy it once was!
