Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day

Chapter 629 478: The Legion from the Celestial Kingdom (4.2K)

After collecting six different components, there's an unexpected effect?

The specific effect is still a secret?

Laugh out loud!

What do you think this is?

Infinite Gems?

Gather them and summon a big guy with a purple potato head?

Or a simplified version of the Dragon Ball?

Collect them and make a wish come true?

It's just a set of fishing gear, and after the event ends, you can't even take them out, so Li Zheng isn't particularly eager to collect them.

Of course, there's still some curiosity.

After thinking for a bit, Li Zheng asked, "This Gold Panning, how many do you have here in total?"

Only one is displayed on the tablet, but Xiao just said this was the first one he sold in advance.

Which means, over time, there might be a second one, a third one... even the thousandth or ten thousandth one?

"I have here... wait! Why are you asking this?" As a 'credibility-first' Merchant, Xiao almost blurted out the actual number subconsciously, now looking at Li Zheng warily.

"Nothing much, just simply killing any possibility of others collecting this stuff right at the source." Li Zheng shrugged slightly, making it sound like a matter of course.

"Impossible!" Xiao said decisively after hearing this, "Selling one to you in advance is already the biggest discount I can offer; you still want to sweep everything by pulling the rug from under me?"

Xiao squinted at Li Zheng and said, "You're not planning to take it out later and sell it at a high price, are you?"

"How could it be? Huh... haha..." Li Zheng let out a dry laugh; he indeed had this idea.

If some other player got the same information from another Merchant, they might specifically collect these fishing gear components. If he bought out one type in advance and took it out at the right time, he might make a big profit in Points!

Once Xiao saw through Li Zheng's plan, it was even more impossible for him to tell the truth to Li Zheng, shaking his head repeatedly, "Give up on that idea. Even if we have a deep friendship, I couldn't break the rules by selling everything to you."

Selling one item a few minutes in advance was within his permissions as a Fishing Equipment Merchant, and the Terminal would turn a blind eye.

But selling items several hours, or even a dozen or twenty hours in advance?

The Terminal would issue punishment in minutes, right?

Maybe even the hard-fought 'Wandering Merchant' professional authority would be stripped away.

"I'm not asking you to sell them all to me now, you just need to tell me how many there are in total and when each one is sold." Li Zheng changed his approach, at worst he could come and buy one on schedule, which wasn't too troublesome.

"No way, no way, you're making it difficult for me." Xiao shook his head so fast it was a blur, vaguely showing a change in his features.

Li Zheng was silent for a few seconds, feeling that Xiao was right; the request he made was indeed a bit unreasonable.

He turned his head and asked Phoenix Mountain, "Where's Lu Li? Get him over here for a bit."

"Not far."

Phoenix Mountain was standing nearby, having heard the conversation clearly between the two, and guessed what Li Zheng wanted Lu Li to do.

He relayed Li Zheng's request through the legion channel, and in less than five minutes, Lu Li came running over hurriedly, carrying a black fishing rod with gold inlays.

"Father... er, oops! Old Li, you looking for me?" Lu Li's mental state was just in a volatile phase; he almost addressed Li Zheng as "Father," but managed to swallow it and changed to Old Li.

"Mm." Li Zheng nodded, saying to Lu Li, "Sorry to trouble you, but I need you to tag along with this Merchant and check every thirty seconds on the goods he sells. If there's anything called 'Gold Panning,' buy them all."

Saying this, Li Zheng showed Lu Li the tablet, pointing to the 'Gold Panning' fishhook for him to see clearly.

"Checking every thirty seconds? That's torture!" Lu Li's face showed difficulty.

"It's meant to torture him!"

Li Zheng tilted his chin, "There's a cooling fan there, right? With temperatures so high in the Lava Mountain Range, isn't it nice to stay by the fan?"

"It's not..." Lu Li said bitterly, "Even with a cooling breeze, checking the goods every thirty seconds would torture me more than him, right?"

"Although I have some old grudge with him, torturing him does make me feel quite good, but while torturing him, I torture myself too..."

"Dude, I just have a mental disorder, but I'm not stupid, okay?"

No attacks are making Lu Li as clear-minded as he is.

Li Zheng said, "You're not stupid, you're just a little absent-minded. I'm giving this task to you, but you can find some brothers in the group to take turns watching over it with you."

"Thirty people dividing into three shifts..."

"Stop, stop, stop!~"

Li Zheng was slowly counting on his fingers, and before Lu Li had a chance to speak, Xiao couldn't bear it anymore and loudly interrupted him, "Who becomes friends like this? You came up with such an annoying trick to mess with me? Annoying me every thirty seconds, don't I need a break?"

Li Zheng grinned: "Weren't you the one who said that business is business, regardless of friendship? I'm just making reasonable use of the rules."

Xiao was speechless: "Well, you used my own words against me."

He gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, you win. Come by once every three hours, and I'll try to keep the remaining Gold Panning for you, okay?"

Li Zheng showed a victorious expression: "If you'd done this earlier, it would've been fine, wouldn't it? But don't worry, friends won't let you suffer losses. You certainly have performance evaluations as a part-time Fishing Equipment Merchant, right? I'll give you a big gift later!"
