Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day

Chapter 600 - 466: Rampaging Treadmill, New Type of Spiritual Power Training (4.4K)_2

Hearing the self-blame in the little Enchanting Demon’s words, Li Zheng smirked, "You can’t be blamed for this, and it has nothing to do with language. Mainly, you’re not clear about the grudges between me and those guys."

"I know." Mirel turned her head to look at Li Zheng and said, "What about in the future? If we encounter this kind of thing again, language barriers will inevitably cause us to overlook many details, which could lead to errors in my reasoning."

"This time you managed to solve the trouble with your strength, but if you go to the Outer City, your current strength won’t mean much, right?"

Going to the Outer City?

Li Zheng was startled for a moment. Was Mirel implying that even if she reached the Outer City, she wouldn’t leave him?

Mirel blushed slightly under his gaze, feeling a bit uncomfortable, "Don’t look at me like that. This is what a follower is supposed to do."

"Besides, even in the Outer City, I’d still need your player status to protect me, right?"

"So this is just an equal exchange..."

"And also... I need to rely on your ability to head to the Dark Realm together. You have a place that can enhance Spiritual Power, so of course, I want to stick around and get some benefits, right?"

...

"Alright then."

Li Zheng grinned, "So it’s because of Virtual! I thought it was my charisma that would make you stay willingly."

"But you should be mentally prepared. The languages included in those translation tools may exceed tens of thousands."

"Learning them all is not an easy task."

"No worries," Mirel said confidently, "As long as it’s something learnable, I find it no difficulty at all!"

These words made Li Zheng pause, reminding him of his pitiful talent in martial arts.

Sometimes he envied Mirel greatly; he was even jealous of her "Seeking Knowledge" trait.

Because of this trait, Mirel learned things faster than others, defying logic!

Glancing at the practice room still under construction, which might not be ready until the next day, Li Zheng felt a surge of confidence in mastering more skills quickly.

The practice room could speed up the mastering process. Even if his martial arts talent was so lousy that not even the practice room could save it, hadn’t he just discovered three blank Memory Release Devices today?

If worst comes to worst, he could just buy them directly from others, couldn’t he?

After the fishing competition ends, I’ll have to deal with the higher-ups of Creation. Maybe then I can skip even the purchasing step.

With that thought, Li Zheng’s confidence returned.

So what if I’m a waste?

I freaking have a cheat!

"Alright." Li Zheng closed his eyes, communicated with the Lantern Mark, and said, "Close your eyes, let’s find Virtual."

"Mm."

...

"You finally came!"

Virtual was as cheerful as ever seeing them, especially today, looking rather excited.

"You seem particularly eager for us to come today?" Li Zheng wondered.

Mirel had the same feeling, watching this identical-looking being with a puzzled expression, without speaking.

"Haha, you figured it out."

Virtual, like a child eager to show off his exam scores, waved his hand revealing something behind him, "Look at the surprise I prepared for you!"

As he waved, the darkness behind him dispersed, revealing a large red machine.

"This is..."

Li Zheng walked around the machine three times, shocked, "Isn’t this a treadmill? You said yesterday that conditions were limited and couldn’t make fitness equipment. How come you finished it so quickly?"

And also...

I’ve never seen this machine before, so why do I feel an odd sense of familiarity with it?

As if it had accompanied me for a long time?

"I owe it all to you!"

Virtual looked at Li Zheng with a proud expression, "If it weren’t for the weird stuff you brought in, I couldn’t have made this thing."

"Weird stuff?"

Li Zheng was puzzled for a moment, then recalled that when he first came in, Virtual had grabbed something from him when he left, causing him pain.

"You..."

He realized, "You removed the Burst emotion?!"

Exactly!

It seems that after that incident, he never sensed the lurking Burst emotion again!

When the Burst emotion was lurking, it could be triggered by external factors, but Li Zheng could easily set it off if he intentionally focused on it.

So unless necessary, Li Zheng would subconsciously ignore it, leading to him not noticing when Virtual removed it.

"Mm, so it’s called ’Burst’?"

Virtual said thoughtfully, "No wonder it looked so easily angered. In that case, let’s call this machine... ’Rampage’ then."

Rampage...

Li Zheng was silent for a moment. What a revelation that there’s actually someone with naming skills worse than his.

"No..." Li Zheng curiously asked, "How do you manage to touch that thing?"

In the Dark Realm, everything was virtual. The Burst emotion, brought in, should also be a virtual object. So how did Virtual remove it?

"That’s why I said you brought in a weird thing."

Virtual squinted and explained, "I’ve studied it and found that it inherently shouldn’t exist.
