Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day

Chapter 656 488: Excellent individuals are naturally attracted to each other, just like me and all you esteemed readers! _2

'No.'

Bloodthirsty Demon Blade: 'Once it's used, it's used. The retrospection that the master mentioned should only apply to you players and has no effect on external matters.'

This means that if Li Zheng wants to use the 'Heaven and Earth Slash' again, he won't have the chance to do it twice.

'The master should be thankful for the help of the retrospection that cleared the lingering obsession; otherwise, enduring the interference from it would have very severe consequences!' The Bloodthirsty Demon Blade specially reminded him.

It felt a bit regretful in its heart, not expecting that the retrospection effect provided by the terminal would be so powerful, even able to cleanly clear away lingering obsessions.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have needed to wait until the outer city; it could have killed Li Zheng just now!

Upon hearing this, Li Zheng recalled the state of being attacked by lingering obsessions not long ago, and his face turned even paler.

It was a kind of attack directed at the spiritual level, with each lingering obsession being an individual entity, chaotic but all sharing the same goal.

And that was to tear apart Li Zheng's 'soul.'

When countless lingering obsessions assailed him, Li Zheng felt as if his soul was being devoured and torn apart by countless ants, as if trying to pull and slice his consciousness into pieces.

He had an intuition that if he had not used this move during the event, he might not have been able to withstand that kind of attack.

If he couldn't withstand it, once the 'soul' was torn apart, his consciousness would instantly fall into chaos, turning into a mindless walking corpse.

Li Zheng couldn't say for sure whether this time he died from exhaustion of vital energy and blood or from the spiritual-level gnawing.

But because of this, Li Zheng found that during the event, he could use 'Heaven and Earth Slash' without any worries.

The only downside was that there was a thirty-minute cooldown period after each use.

At this moment, the members of the Starting Point, under the organization of Xiao Siyuan and others, transferred from the Lava Mountain Range to the Endless Ocean through the Transfer Space.

During this time, those relatively familiar with Li Zheng, like Wang Chaoran and Chen Xiangrong, would raise their hands to gesture at him.

Each time this happened, Li Zheng, like an old cadre, would nod slightly in response.

The transfer process lasted about seven minutes, and the Transfer Space fell silent once again.

Zhan Zhouzhou brought Mirel and other pets into the Transfer Space and couldn't help but complain from afar: "Your pet is too ridiculous, isn't it? How long has it been, and it's already rehydrating."

"Rehydrating is one thing, but the amount it requires is astounding, finishing off the two hundred liters we collectively gathered in less than ten minutes!"

Faced with Zhan Zhouzhou's questions, Li Zheng remained silent for a while before slowly saying, "Why didn't you bring them into the Transfer Space?"

"Uh..."

Zhan Zhouzhou was stunned, taking a while to react: "You're right!"

The Transfer Space doesn't have the high temperatures of the Lava Mountain Range, so naturally, Red Poli wouldn't need to rehydrate so frequently.

"Wait a minute, since you knew this, why did you leave them under my care in the first place?" This time Zhan Zhouzhou finally grasped the key point: "Couldn't you have just left them here when you went to the Endless Ocean?"

"..."

Li Zheng suddenly found himself in an awkward spot, realizing he hadn't thought of that option either.

Seeing his expression, Zhan Zhouzhou understood and pulled out a small, fist-sized, completely red octopus from a capsule and said, "We were lucky earlier; a buddy caught a special fish. See if its effect is of any use to you."

Special fish catch?

Wasn't the time from my transfer from the Endless Ocean to the Starting Point quite short?

Moreover, weren't the Starting Point people gathered around the entrance?

How did they have time to go fishing?

Receiving it, he took a look.

Whoa!

The attributes aren't bad!

[Deep Red Octopus

Level 5

Special Fish Catch

Effect: Can slightly enhance the environmental adaptability of Fire Gene Abilities, increasing their power in any environment.

Note: This item is only effective during the fishing competition.]

"The effect is great. You said it was caught?" Li Zheng raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Well... how to put it..." Zhan Zhouzhou pointed at the Deep Red Octopus and said, "Take a closer look at the octopus's belly."

"The belly?"

Li Zheng turned it over a few times and found a tiny pinhole on the round, bulging belly of the Deep Red Octopus, instantly shocked: "This is!!!"

"Yes, it was caught by Phoenix Mountain."

Zhan Zhouzhou couldn't help but admire as he recounted the incident: "Just as Old Xiao came over to tell us about the transfer, Phoenix Mountain happened to pass by a volcano. He simply whipped out a fishing rod, swung it in, and instantly reeled something up."

"The hook was in the lava for less than a second before being reeled in, and who knew it could catch something like this."

Upon hearing this, Li Zheng imagined the scene where an unsuspecting fool casually tossed a fishing rod into a 'drain' and ended up spearing a fish out of it?

That's roughly the scene.

Those watching at the time must have been dumbfounded...

"Phoenix Mountain's luck... sometimes it's just unmatched!"

Li Zheng felt speechless for one; he truly envied Phoenix Mountain's lucky streak, always discovering surprises in the most unassuming places.

In some way, it's like a cheat more than the Treasure Chest System, utterly absurd.

"Doesn't he have a Fire Gene ability himself? Why didn't he keep it and instead asked you to pass it to me?" Li Zheng remembered that Phoenix Mountain had a fire-type bursting power.
