Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day

Chapter 617 472: Not Coming to Play with 2 Torpedoes? (4.2K)_2

"Side effects."

When it came to this topic, Bai Xiaosheng became much more serious and stopped joking around: "I believe side effects are definitely the biggest obstacle in developing genetic abilities for everyone!"

"Regarding this information, you don't need to tip me; I'll tell you all for free."

"First, we all know that there are items in each tier that potentially have a 100% success rate in developing genetic abilities, but those are extremely rare and expensive, not something we discuss here."

"Additionally, the most common development tools are almost never perfect, and Silver Level tools have a success rate so low it's alarming. Unless you're incredibly lucky, almost no one succeeds!"

"And with the trigger probability of side effects being much higher compared to that negligible success rate, I suppose it has scared off quite a few people, hasn't it?"

"But here, I want to tell you all some shocking news!"

"Even though the success rate of Silver Level development tools is very low, for players, this tier is actually the safest!"

This statement confused the audience even more.

How could Silver Level tools with a higher side effect probability be the safest for players?

Isn't this contradictory?

Bai Xiaosheng seemed to know what they were thinking, revealing a deliberately profound smile, and said: "Does this seem contradictory?"

"Actually, if you all consider these things as medicines, isn't it much more intuitive?"

"Silver Level tools have weaker effects, so when side effects do occur, the impact on the body is naturally lower."

"While high-tier tools have a much higher development success rate, their effects are consequently stronger too. Once side effects are triggered, the impact on the body is naturally more severe!"

"Some people, not so lucky, took high-success-rate Platinum Level tools, and after triggering side effects, nearly killed themselves!"

"Silver Level is different. Even if side effects are triggered, they tend to be relatively harmless issues."

"For example, a friend of mine took a Fire Element Silver Level fruit, and the side effect just burned off all his hair, which grew back in a few days."

"Meanwhile, another person took Platinum Level and ended up losing a kidney because of it!"

"Everyone, I wouldn't share this with just anyone!"

"If you manage to obtain Silver Level development tools, just use them if you can. Though they're initially weaker, once you boost your Ability Level, they'll be stronger than newly developed Golden Ability!"

"Plus, with good fortune later, you might acquire tools that directly upgrade your Ability Tier!"

"That Genetic Repair Liquid we mentioned before is one example!"

"If you're unlucky and still haven't acquired similar tools, it doesn't matter. I have a friend who specializes in this; he's cultivated several types of Silver Level crops..."

Bai Xiaosheng sincerely shared a lot, but suddenly his expression changed, and he began promoting something. His quick shift and smooth transition made all the audiences shout: "Caught off guard!"

Outside the event, Li Zheng ignited a discussion on genetic abilities.

Inside the event, after consuming about half of his Genetic Force, Li Zheng finally managed to create an ice mountain that wouldn't melt for some time, bringing everyone to land on it.

The ice surface that Li Zheng created with all his might could support the weight of fewer than fifty people effortlessly, landing smoothly and securely.

"Zhouzhou, you stay here with them for a moment."

After testing and confirming the ice surface's stability, Li Zheng immediately said: "No time to waste, I'll head to the shore to buy some fishing gear right away."

At the Endless Ocean site, the sun was blazing, and the temperature exceeded forty degrees, coupled with the sea washing over, Li Zheng wasn't sure how long the ice surface would hold.

Time was of the essence to resolve the fishing gear issue and catch some fish while they gathered.

"Alright."

Zhan Zhouzhou thought about it and realized that the task of returning to buy fishing gear was indeed best suited for Li Zheng.

Among everyone present, only his flying speed was fast enough, and his sense of direction was reliable to find the accurate path over the vast sea.

Li Zheng put away his flying device, changed his outfit to avoid being recognized by his clothing, spread his Demon Thunder Wings, and shot into the sky, heading back at maximum speed in the direction Old Pu provided.

Old Pu's navigation was definitely reliable; without any unnecessary burdens, Li Zheng used only half the time of his previous departure to fly back to the beach.

By then, the atmosphere across the whole beach had changed, no longer peaceful as before. Everyone had become much more silent and cautious.

Li Zheng glanced around and saw a golden octopus subtly surrounded by many players, his expression changed slightly, and he flew over.

"Luo Aiman?"

Upon landing and seeing the octopus's appearance clearly, Li Zheng finally dared to confirm the identity: "Why aren't you working in the shop, but here instead?"

Luo Aiman lay on a beach chair wearing floral shorts, with a sun umbrella overhead. Sporting wide black sunglasses on his golden round face and holding a bunch of colorful drinks in his tentacles, he looked fully equipped for a beach vacation.

Luo Aiman hummed an unknown tune contentedly. Upon hearing Li Zheng's voice, a tentacle quickly lifted his sunglasses slightly, wearing a disgruntled expression: "Why is it you?"

That disdainful tone and expression made Li Zheng's face darken.
