Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day

Chapter 573 - 456: Encountering Zi Shu Again (5.5K)_2

"Now that you mention it, I remember," Phoenix Mountain said, "Is this the Blacksmith?"

At this moment, they had already arrived in front of Zi Shu, who happened to hear the conversation and smiled warmly, "My master is the Blacksmith. I’m just the ninth disciple. For now... I am merely the shop’s guide."

"I’ve heard so much about you!"

Phoenix Mountain felt a surge of anticipation; he had been envious for days after learning what others had acquired from the Blacksmith Shop, regretting that he had missed such a golden opportunity.

But thinking about it, he had spent all his assets on Fire Element tools to upgrade his ’Burst’ ability back then, even trading ’Star Thief’ usage rights with Li Zheng on credit, not to mention affording anything from the Blacksmith Shop. That thought brought him a sense of solace.

Back then, Yan Guang was somewhat wealthy, but as her combat power mainly depended on the mechanical arm, visiting the Blacksmith Shop was unnecessary.

"The prize this time won’t be from the Blacksmith Shop, will it?" Li Zheng suddenly realized. Given that the terminal tasked Zi Shu with awarding prizes, might she manage more than just the tickets?

"Correct."

Zi Shu nodded, confirming Li Zheng’s suspicion.

"According to the terminal’s conditions, each of you can receive an item not exceeding the Star Shining level. It can be a weapon, armor, or some other miscellaneous functional item."

Zi Shu took out a metal block resembling a cell phone, unfolded it, revealing a holographic display, and began to operate it skillfully.

Li Zheng watched in curiosity, glanced twice more at the device, and Prelis’ Eye provided support, revealing its attributes.

[Spirit Communication

Tier: None

Type: Communication Device

Description: A communication tool specially crafted by the Blacksmith for their shop to facilitate contact between sales assistants and the Blacksmith in the workshop.

This is a unique item in the entire Matrix, bound to the ninth disciple—Zi Shu.]

Wow!

Isn’t that something!

In the same shop, the Blacksmith invented such a device for convenient communication?

Last time I visited the Blacksmith Shop, Zi Shu personally went to the room to relay requests. Has her gear been upgraded?

Is it really necessary for such a short distance?

This made Li Zheng realize a key point. The Outer City might lack features like the ’chat channel.’

Or, even if it exists, once in the Outer City, he might not be able to use the chat channel again even after returning to the Matrix.

Li Zheng noted this detail in his mind.

’Spirit Communication’ displays extraterrestrial text, which Li Zheng couldn’t understand.

However, the operation style reminded Li Zheng of the sci-fi movies he had watched, with futuristic computers functioning similarly.

He found it inexplicably cool.

"Please wait, I’ll debug this and establish a connection with the Blacksmith Shop’s signal terminal."

Zi Shu operated the device for a moment, and an effect like a refresh appeared on the holographic screen.

"Alright, one at a time, state your desired prize specifications. The master will craft corresponding items according to the Star Shining level’s highest standard."

Zi Shu shook the refreshed Spirit Communication, looked at Li Zheng and the others, and waited to input the orders into the device, sending them to her master.

"Who wants to go first?"

Li Zheng glanced at his four teammates. He hadn’t decided what type of item he needed, so he let someone else go first.

"I’ll go first."

Zhan Zhouzhou stepped forward, holding the Gravity Necklace, "I want a more powerful version of this type of item."

This necklace could only reach a tenfold gravity limit, and Zhan Zhouzhou was nearly accustomed to this extreme. It was the right time to get something better.

"No problem!"

Zi Shu input the requirement and sent it to the Blacksmith Shop, saying, "The Star Shining level can achieve a hundredfold gravity limit. This is currently the highest possible gravity amplification. If you want something better, you’ll have to go to the Outer City and wait for significant technological breakthroughs."

"Only a hundredfold?"

Zhan Zhouzhou’s delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, seemingly unsatisfied with the hundredfold gravity amplification.

"A hundredfold is already a very high amplification level." Zi Shu examined Zhan Zhouzhou carefully: "If I remember correctly, you got this necklace less than twenty days ago, right?"

"Adapting to tenfold gravity amplification in twenty days might bring you a sense of pride."

"However, historically, there are Players who adapted to tenfold gravity within three days, yet none ever increased the gravity amplification to fiftyfold in their lifetime!"

"The highest record holder is still a Player from three sessions ago, a Rosque species Player who used their unique physique to achieve 49.8-fold gravity amplification."

"But died from imbalances inside and outside the body, their brain turned into pulp, utterly devastated."

"When you reach the Outer City, you can visit the exhibition hall established by the Gravity Research Institute on 375th Street. That Rosque species Player’s specimen is still displayed there."

Saying this, Zi Shu’s face showed an amused expression, looking at Zhan Zhouzhou: "If you can surpass that record, you might be the next specimen displayed there."

The expression combined with her tone and words sent shivers down Li Zheng and the others’ spines, chilling them to the bone.
