Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day

Chapter 1062 - 764: Utter Devotion!

"Is there a possibility that there are undiscovered races somewhere in the universe?" Li Zheng attempted to ask, "What if your conclusion is wrong?"

"There’s almost no such possibility!" The Terminal asserted, "I once opened a treasure chest and found a star map. It was with this star map that I was able to find the next target before the Matrix was hit by an emotional storm and collect them into the Matrix. Water Blue Star is the last intelligent species planet on the star map. I’ve been to all the other places."

"I see." Li Zheng realized, previously when the Terminal said it could always find the next race three years in advance, he thought it was just good luck in predicting the targets.

It turned out it was thanks to the treasure chest.

"Tell me about him, what’s going on?" The Terminal looked at Yan Jinjin and asked, "You brought him over, so you must need my help with something?"

"Indeed."

Li Zheng explained the purpose, "This so-called Nascent Soul is actually a highly solidified spiritual body. If the Outer City could master such a method, it might greatly enhance our overall strength."

The Terminal, lost in thought, said, "So you made a transaction with him, and the content of the transaction requires my help?"

"Exactly!"

Li Zheng said, "This guy’s physical body was recently struck and destroyed by a celestial tribulation. I promised him that as long as he cooperates obediently, in the future I can help him fashion a new physical body."

With cloning technology now available only to the Terminal and the people of the Wilderness, helping Yan Jinjin create a new physical body using it is a minor matter.

"It’s not difficult." The Terminal said, "As long as I have enough active non-clone body cells, I can clone a newborn. However, the cloned body itself has some defects, and you’ll need to combine it with other things to eliminate those defects to make it usable. This point, as a clone, you should know yourself."

Clones have various defects, some of which even the Terminal cannot avoid.

For example, Li Zheng’s defect was short lifespan, but due to the genetic potion that supplemented the missing critical information in his genes, he became healthier.

Now, except for his active cells which can no longer be used for cloning, Li Zheng is already a complete and independent human being.

"It doesn’t matter, some defects he’ll be able to solve himself." Li Zheng smiled, glancing at Yan Jinjin, and their communication did not avoid each other, "Isn’t he self-proclaimed as a cultivator? Let’s see if a cultivator can defy the heavens and change fate."

"Understood." The Terminal nodded on the screen, asking, "So now he doesn’t believe your promise, and you brought him here to prove that I have the ability to help him shape a physical body?"

"Exactly." Li Zheng nodded as well.

The Terminal said, "That’s easy; we happen to have a ready example."

Saying this, he manipulated the ground of the Central Hub, causing it to open and slowly rise, revealing a transparent jar filled with green liquid.

Inside the jar was a girl with a tube inserted at her navel, who looked very much like Yan Guang, but apart from their age, they were almost like replicas.

The girl was curled up like an unborn fetus, her arms just hugging her knees tightly against her chest.

The ground beside her also cracked open, and a horizontally placed transparent container rose up, with the one-armed corpse of Yan Guang lying inside.

"Come over."

Li Zheng glanced at Yan Jinjin and said, "This is our evidence that we can help you mold a physical body, and we can even adjust it to whatever appearance you desire to fulfill your every requirement."

At this moment, Yan Jinjin was already stunned. There was no such method where he came from, and he couldn’t understand how an artifact spirit could accomplish such a thing.

He carefully examined Yan Guang and the newly born girl; although he couldn’t comprehend the method, he intuitively sensed that the two were actually the same person.

They could really create a physical body for him!

Yan Jinjin cautiously asked, "Any kind of body is possible? What if I want a body like the lord’s?"

"Mine?" Li Zheng frowned, "What do you mean by that?"

Damn, could this guy be planning to impersonate him and take advantage of him when he’s not looking?

Might as well kill him now!

Feeling the faint killing intent emanating from Li Zheng, Yan Jinjin’s heart trembled, and he quickly explained, "To be honest, my lord, I just want a Formless Body, changing the appearance would be enough!"

He explained what a Formless Body was, leaving both Li Zheng and the Terminal stunned.

"Is there really such a thing as special physiology?" Li Zheng looked at the Terminal and laughed, "We were really born in the wrong place; if I were born in their world, maybe I wouldn’t be a clone, but an incarnation outside the body."

"What is this, the template of a farm cultivation novel’s protagonist?" The Terminal quipped in a way only they themselves could understand, and then said to Yan Jinjin, "Forget about having his body. The main body is dead, and new clones can’t be cultivated anymore, choose someone else."

"This..." Yan Jinjin froze, then said, "What a pity..."

With no choice, any random body would satisfy Yan Jinjin.

But now that he had a choice, he had to pick carefully.

Li Zheng signaled with his hand for the Terminal to put Yan Guang back, then asked, "I’ll ask you once more, do you accept the transaction?"

He had already shown enough sincerity. If Yan Jinjin still did not appreciate it, for the future of the Outer City multiracial community, Li Zheng would not mind adding another stain to his tally.

After all, he already had grievances woven into his black hair; having another life in his hands wasn’t something he couldn’t handle.

Moreover, Li Zheng felt no psychological burden in killing Yan Jinjin.

"As long as my lord fulfills his promise, I will obey my lord’s commands in the future!" Yan Jinjin knelt on the ground, swearing allegiance.

"Heh." Li Zheng sneered, "Don’t be happy too soon; as you said, everyone’s physique is different. The final form of the body given to you depends on your future performance."

"I will serve with complete devotion, even if it means my death!"

"Good!" Li Zheng clapped his hands and laughed, "For your first task, I want you to hand over every cultivation technique you know, in detail!"

Understanding why the "Nascent Soul" was so special was undoubtedly a simple and direct approach through those so-called "cultivation techniques."

"Cul... cultivation techniques?" Yan Jinjin hesitated a bit.

Cultivation techniques were his foundation, his means of survival; handing them over to others would be like exposing all of his vulnerabilities.

Asking for the techniques was no different from asking for his life.

"What?" Li Zheng squinted his eyes, "Refusing the first task already?"

The Terminal also said, "Just now you were talking about devoted service, and now you’re going back on your word? Is this what cultivators do? Really quite laughable."
