Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day

Chapter 658 489: No need for convenience, thank you. (5.2K)

"Hey, what are you thinking about?"

Zhan Zhouzhou waved a hand in front of Li Zheng's face, studying the look on his face suspiciously, "Are you secretly jealous of Phoenix Mountain's romantic luck?"

"I'm envious of him?"

Li Zheng snapped back to reality, glaring at Zhan Zhouzhou with a "Are you kidding me?" look: "Have you heard this news?"

"A wife sued her husband because he refused to fulfill his marital obligations three times a week, and she took him to court."

"Think about it, if that's how it is with one wife, how absurd would it be with multiple wives?"

"I've always thought that monogamy isn't about protecting women's rights, but rather protecting men's bodies."

"With just two kidneys and two magazines, how much ammunition is there to hand over?"

"Only kids want it all, adults know their limits."

"There's no land that's plowed to ruin, only cows that drop dead from exhaustion!"

"If some land is ruined from plowing, it means it wasn't just one cow doing the plowing."

"..."

"Wait..." Li Zheng tilted his head and reconsidered, correcting himself: "Cross out that last part."

"Alright, alright, you just said it offhandedly, why are you getting so worked up?" Zhan Zhouzhou's mouth curled into a pleasant arc, seemingly in a better mood, pointing at Mirel and other pets: "Look, your little guys are all back to you. I have to go guard the Endless Ocean to prevent some meddlesome pests from causing trouble."

With that, she turned around and skipped like a little girl towards the Teleportation Gate of the Endless Ocean.

"Phew~"

Watching Zhan Zhouzhou's departing figure, Li Zheng let out a sigh of relief, then showed a jealous and angry expression, gritting his teeth: "Damn, why is that guy named Feng so popular?!"

Truly, the saying holds true about one being parched and another drowning!

Phoenix Mountain had two attractive and charming girls to accompany him, wanting to dive into the volcano to hide!

And look at myself?!

How did I lose so thoroughly?!

()!

"Forget it, forget it, no point in dwelling on those unhappy things."

Li Zheng shook his head and continued to plan out his strategy.

Currently, the Starting Point has secured two "prizes". Though the Terminal hasn't explicitly stated that the decomposed products of the Boss are prizes, their nature should be about the same.

After all, in the previous mutation challenge event, even the decompose function had restrictions.

But in this fishing competition, the rules changed—fishing had a chance to yield special fish catch, and even the decompose permissions were opened up. With so many strengthening items being produced in one event, treating the decomposed products as "prizes" seems reasonable.

"Kunlun and Nine Heavens, after this fight, shouldn't be agreeing to help me again any time soon unless I can offer them enough tempting rewards."

Li Zheng casually found a patch of empty ground to sit down on, perfect as he was the only one in this Transfer Space, which was quiet enough for him to ponder slowly.

Mirel quietly stayed nearby with the sleeping Little Sakura and the Red Polis.

After a while, the Red Polis, who had gotten used to being with Little Sakura, couldn't sit still and ran to a further place with Little Sakura to run, jump, tumble, maneuver, and fly, playing around.

"Liu Qi and Tang Qianzang both know that I'll be heading to the Outer City in a few days. During this period, even if I gave all the Potion Making Station's output to them, the total value would at most equal one prize, which they won't agree to."

To get Kunlun and Nine Heavens to help tackle the remaining four Bosses, it's only possible if Li Zheng is willing to share part of the prizes.

But don't the people of Kunlun and Nine Heavens want to defeat the Bosses with their own strength?

Especially after seeing Li Zheng capable of killing the Bosses, proving they're not absolutely unbeatable.

Also, the event has been going on long enough that even outside participants are aware, all through the livestreaming feature, of what's happening.

They also want to achieve some milestones to show the players that apart from the shining Li Zheng, Dragon Country also has wood grain.

Moreover, once Li Zheng leaves the Matrix for the Outer City, decreasing this absolute deterrence will surely cause some things lurking in the shadows to stir.

Taking all these aspects into account, the two major legions will undoubtedly seize this opportunity to showcase some strength to the world and dissipate Li Zheng's somewhat 'deified' reputation.

"It's not just these two…"

Li Zheng stroked his smooth chin, his eyes filled with thought: "Even other capable legions will choose to make a move."

"However, taking down a Boss with just one legion is undoubtedly arduous, so right now those people should be finding ways to contact others for joint action."

And the safest and most convenient place for those legion commanders to conspire and collude is undoubtedly the Lava Mountain Range, currently jointly controlled by Kunlun and Nine Heavens.

So then…

Should I take the opportunity to trap them a bit?

Like maybe, while 'fishing', accidentally cause a disturbance that affects them?

Or perhaps, send someone to the Lava Mountain Range to look for the next victim—no, next collaborator?

Just as Li Zheng was plotting, Li Chun and the other members he left in the Lava Mountain Range were greeted by a familiar face.

"Li Chun, finally found you all, can you ask Old Li where he is?"

Li Chun leaned against a small spider holding an Ink Crystal Fishing Rod and turned to the visitor: "Lele, what business do you have with Brother Li Zheng?"

Liu Jiale glanced at Xu Ying standing beside him and said with a bit of embarrassment: "I... came to Old Li for a business deal."
