Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day

Chapter 570 - 455: A Multitude of Things, But Not Quite Everything... (5K)_2

"Ah!?"

Lin Fengjiao looked at Li Zheng lying on the medical bed: "Then, why did Li Zheng pretend his injury wasn’t serious just now?"

"Why else?" Xiao Siyuan casually summoned a small metal bottle, tapped Li Zheng’s chin, and said, "Open your mouth."

Li Zheng obediently opened his mouth. As the non-Newtonian fluid from the small bottle poured into his mouth, Xiao Siyuan took out various medical tools to treat Li Zheng and said casually, "You see, every time Phoenix Mountain comes for treatment, the actual condition is several times more serious than he says! Why else would he do that? He doesn’t want others to worry about him."

"Men... they just care about face."

"Not really, I’m not as superficial as Phoenix Mountain." Li Zheng lay back and said slowly, "Mostly it’s because we were in the middle of a battle, and after being kicked, it hurt a bit, which affected my performance, so instinctively I used cold to numb the pain until the discomfort subsided."

"Unexpectedly, I accidentally froze my internal organs at that time, and after the battle ended, the frozen organs didn’t hurt much, so I also thought I wasn’t seriously injured..."

The reason for frequently coughing blood was because the frozen organs started to thaw, and the blood that should have been expelled earlier was delayed.

Such a dangerous act, let alone on an ordinary Earth person, even with a Gold Level physique, if you dare to freeze your internal organs for such a long time, you’d be done for now!

"..."

Xiao Siyuan paused his hand movements, then a bottle slipped from his hand and fell right on Li Zheng’s belly, ’coincidentally’ hitting the injured spot. Once the organs were fully thawed, the sensation of pain returned a long time ago, and this made him break out in cold sweat, pointing at Xiao Siyuan, speechless.

Retaliating with personal spite without a word, such pettiness—he used to be a...

Oh, he’s a medic? Then never mind.

Li Zheng tapped the medical bed twice in protest, his eyes filled with indignation.

Old Xiao ignored him and instead began discussing the dangers of such behavior.

"Using cold to freeze damaged organs as a temporary measure, never do it again unless absolutely necessary."

Xiao Siyuan warned Li Zheng and Lin Fengjiao’s siblings: "If the organs fail and people are still breathing, at most, we can replace them with artificial organs. There’s always a chance to replace them with living organs again in the future."

"But freezing like this might just shorten your lives!"

"Especially Xiaoxuan, don’t ever imitate this!"

"Understand?"

"Ah? Oh oh, understood!"

Lin Longxuan, who had been standing at the door with Su Xiaoya, admiring the fact that Li Zheng did not utter a single cry despite his severe injuries, nodded quickly when suddenly addressed.

In fact, now that he’s acting with Lin Fengjiao, he rarely even has a chance to fight, so he doesn’t need to worry about getting injured.

Su Xiaoya said softly beside him, "Don’t worry, my next tail will grow back soon."

The Celestial Fox Race can grow up to nine tails in their lifetime. Except for the first tail, which connects to their life essence and cannot be discarded, the other eight tails can each act as a substitute for death once.

Lin Longxuan had escaped danger twice thanks to Su Xiaoya’s ability.

They were not far apart, and their voices weren’t purposely subdued, so naturally, Xiao Siyuan heard it.

He warned, "Even if you have many lives, there’s a day they will run out!"

"Exactly!"

Li Zheng chimed in, "Back in the day, when I played Contra at my neighbor’s house, I loved to borrow lives from others. If I was a partner in a game, it was sure to never be completed."

"That thing has thirty lives!"

"You’re just being talkative!" Xiao Siyuan poked Li Zheng’s abdominal wound hard: "Doesn’t hurt anymore, does it!"

Li Zheng immediately grimaced and shut his mouth.

This treatment lasted about two hours, and when Li Zheng finally got off the medical bed to move freely, it was already dusk, about to become night.

Xiao Siyuan habitually took out a basin of water to wash his hands, rubbing disinfectant carefully, and said to Li Zheng, "Be careful in the Outer City in the future, try not to get hurt."

"The better the physique, the more severe the injury, the more precious the medical equipment used."

"This time, fifteen Diamond Level devices were used to repair your damaged organs, worth no less than two ordinary Extraordinary Level weapons!"

"Conversely, it was only ten Platinum Level Power Cores to heal the fracture in your arm with Platinum Level nanorobots, much cheaper."

"Hmm, thank you!"

Li Zheng sincerely thanked him. Since getting to know Xiao Siyuan, he indeed felt he had troubled him quite a bit and was a little embarrassed.

Xiao Siyuan washed off the disinfectant, took a clean towel to dry his hands, and while drying, said, "No need to thank me, just let me choose the dishes you cook for the next few days."

"Oh right, your body now needs about three days of rest, you shouldn’t eat anything irritating. Drinking porridge would be best."

"No problem!"

Li Zheng agreed wholeheartedly; it wasn’t something difficult to comply with.

"Oh, right, since your injury’s been treated, when are you planning to go claim the prize?" Xiao Siyuan seemed to suddenly remember something.

Claim the prize?

Li Zheng was slightly stunned and looked at Lin Fengjiao: "You guys haven’t claimed it yet?"

"No."

Lin Fengjiao said, "Phoenix Mountain and the others tried, but the terminal indicated the team leader must lead the way to a specific place to claim the event prize."

"I told them you were healing, and not to disturb you for now."

Claiming a prize is so simple, yet they need the team leader to lead to a specific place?
