Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day

Chapter 1079 780: Cheat Powers and Temporal Paradox

We're all novel enthusiasts here, so of course, we know a transmigrator is definitely equipped with a cheat, so no one's being coy, let's just spill it.

"You've all seen my cheat." Ye Kai released his mecha and said, "I used to know nothing about machinery, but after transmigrating, for some reason, I've become an instant expert in anything related to mechanical modifications!"

Ye Yuan, after searching in his capsule for quite a while, realized his weapon was already stored away, grimaced and said, "My cheat is my unparalleled ability to modify firearms and wield them. You've seen the spectacle when I used to fire the Fire God Cannon. If it weren't for my cheat, I wouldn't have stood a chance."

"Whoa, two talent-based cheats?" Li Zheng gave a thumbs-up, praising, "Awesome, I'm envious!"

The three simultaneously turned to Chu Xiao: "What about you? What's your cheat?"

Chu Xiao scratched his head in confusion: "Would you believe me if I said I don't know either?"

The three looked at him skeptically: "A dud, can't even figure out your own cheat?"

"I really haven't noticed..." Chu Xiao pondered for a moment, then asked, "Does high defense count? From the moment I entered the Matrix, I haven't really gotten hurt."

"The indestructible turtle?" Ye Kai raised his brows, "You haven't really taken any serious damage."

"That's true, but that nickname is a bit insulting." Chu Xiao squinted and said, "Even though we're pretty close... Can't argue, I can't even scratch that mecha of yours..."

His defense was undeniably strong, but Ye Kai's meticulously crafted and modified mecha was no joke either.

Though it might not be as exaggerated as the Gundam in the anime, it's not something he could easily topple.

One must yield when necessary...

Then, all three looked at Li Zheng: "What about you? What's your cheat?"

"Oh right, you're a clone without the original's memories," Chu Xiao realized, "Even if you had a cheat, it would be the original's cheat, which doesn't relate much to you."

"How does it not relate?" Li Zheng stamped his foot lightly, proudly saying, "The very place you're standing is my original's cheat!"

The three initially didn't grasp this statement, but after pondering for a while, Ye Kai understood: "You're saying... this Outer City and Matrix were actually created by your original?"

"Exactly!" Li Zheng glanced at them and said, "Strictly speaking, there's no such thing as an Outer City or Wilderness. It's all called the Matrix when combined! It's a whole!"

Ye Kai calculated the area and was astounded, "Holy crap? To create something this massive, how much material would that take?! "

And those special rules in the Matrix trial ground, resembling a game world, well, it turns out to be some kind of super-advanced technological means caused by all that Li Zheng said!

"No wonder the seniors have such powerful cheats!" Ye Kai praised endlessly, raising two thumbs, his eyes full of envy.

"What's the big deal?" Li Zheng shook his head and said, "I'm envious of you guys because all you have are cheats that enhance combat abilities. No wonder you three dare to provoke Lin Fan."

At the time, it wasn't much, just thinking Lin Fan encountered three players with better luck and faster development than others.

Now considering, Lin Fan managing to escape after killing more than thirty people and collecting a heap of Gold Level items and abilities, already indicates many things.

Not like him, the original terminal left him the Treasure Chest System, which now turned into a Wish Stone Fragment generator, really quite a scam.

Looking like the highest value cheat, it's now almost no match against the lifelong usable talent-based cheats.

"By the way," Li Zheng recalled his initial question, "You still haven't answered me, what years did you guys transmigrate?"

"I transmigrated at the end of 2019," Ye Kai said, "My sister should be on the same day as me."

Though the two didn't start reading novels on the same day, they coincidentally finished reading within one day.

Now they both regard that novel as the transmigration opportunity, otherwise, how could so many transmigrators link to that book?

"Really?" Chu Xiao also said, "You all transmigrated before me, I was on the eighth of January, 2020."

"Wait!" Li Zheng suddenly realized something and asked Chu Xiao: "You previously said you learned from Yue Luohong of three real subscribers, one of them being him, right?"

"Yeah." Chu Xiao nodded, "I didn't read many comments at the time, so I added him as a friend."

Ye Kai also noticed something unusual and asked, "When did you add him as a friend?"

"In January 2020, by then you should've transmigrated already." Chu Xiao answered.

"That's weird!" Ye Yuan frowned, also finding something amiss: "We've read the novel, whether legit or pirated readers all transmigrated, why's he okay?"

If anyone read the entire novel first, it absolutely would be the author himself.

How come Yue Luohong still managed to respond to Chu Xiao's friend request and answer him after he and Ye Yuan transmigrated?

"Could it be because he's the author?" Chu Xiao guessed, "Or maybe he actually transmigrated but returned?"

At this point, Ye Kai asked Li Zheng, "What about you? When did you transmigrate?"

Li Zheng responded blankly, "I was also in January 2020, but my... no, my original has lived in this universe for at least ten thousand years!"

Ye Kai was surprised, "Later than us but ahead of us? What's the logic in that?"

"That's not important!" Ye Yuan realized something and paused for a moment, her expression similarly blank as she said, "The main point is that this universe's time flow isn't aligned with ours, perhaps someday we'll find a way back and discover only a second has passed in our world?"

"Wrong!" Chu Xiao immediately dismissed this conjecture, "If this were the case, both of you should've returned by the time I transmigrated, why no news?"

With the internet so advanced, and netizens' penchant for drama, if someone revealed having transmigrated to another universe and returned, regardless of the truth, it'd definitely be shared!

Even if treated as a joke, it wouldn't just disappear without a trace.

"There are only two possibilities." Li Zheng solemnly stated: "Either none of us can return, or..."

He glanced at them, then at Ye Kai and his sister: "Both of you died in this world."

"Impossible, right?" Ye Kai and his sister nervously laughed, "We're transmigrators after all, how could we die?"

Li Zheng said quietly, "Chu Xiao's sister is also a transmigrator."

Instantly, the two's expressions froze, left speechless.
