Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day

Chapter 660 489: No Convenience Needed, Thank You. (5.2K)_3

Although not very strong among the overall players, just below average level.

But in the Legion at the Starting Point, which recruited most of the new players, Zhang Yue's strength was considered above average.

These words from her mouth naturally carried a sense of intimidation, causing those she glanced at to turn away and avoid eye contact.

"Oh my, Sister Yue, I believe they won't do that." Li Chun held Zhang Yue's hand with a pure smile on her face: "Birds of a feather flock together, how could players who join our Starting Point have bad intentions?"

"You..." Zhang Yue looked at Li Chun's innocent appearance and gently tapped her nose indulgently, saying helplessly: "You always see the good in others but overlook their faults."

"With your attitude, if no one protects you, you'll definitely suffer a lot."

"Hehe." Li Chun laughed sheepishly: "It's okay to suffer a bit, my grandpa always says you should be content with what you have, suffering is a blessing."

"Suffering..." Zhang Yue wanted to explain the meaning of 'suffering is a blessing' to Li Chun, but looking into her clear eyes, she suddenly realized this girl understood more than anyone else.

Behind Li Chun, a small spider, grown large like a truck, looked down at the girl, its many compound eyes showing a gentle gaze.

Back then, it agreed to become the girl's pet because it saw this kind quality in her, didn't it?

This kind of girl should be happy, so it was willing to bear any danger she might face.

Even at the cost of its own life.

The small spider turned to look at the volcanic crater, seemingly flashing some scenes in its compound eyes.

"Little Spider, you're hurt."

"Don't move, I'll help you clean the wound."

"Oh no, there's only one YP-300 left. Oh well... you can use it."

"Huh? You want to come with me?"

...

The dark red of molten lava reflected in its compound eyes, as if a fire was burning in them.

"Beast! Abandon your master, recognize me as your master, and I will spare your life!"

"Considering your potential, I don't want to kill you!"

"Damn beast! Since you're so loyal, I'll kill you first!"

"I should have killed you earlier!"

...

The small spider turned its gaze away from the volcanic crater, looking back at Li Chun, determined not to let what happened that day happen again!

"Sister Chun, why don't we open the Treasure Chest and take a look?"

The girl next to her also agreed with the idea that the Starting Point didn't care about losing only two hundred Points. After all, everyone has a sense of curiosity.

Especially girls, their mindset is just like a cat's, inherently curious about unknown and mysterious things.

"Better not... what if there's danger?" another girl spoke up, looking a bit timid.

With strong curiosity comes intense concern and fear.

"It's unlikely, right? There's no mention of danger in the Attributes." The onlookers carefully checked the Attributes information twice and chimed in.

"What if there is?" The timid girl took a step back.

"You're too timid." Zhang Yue said: "If you're scared, just stand behind me, and I'll protect you."

"Okay..."

The timid girl quickly ran behind Zhang Yue, peeking over her shoulder curiously at the Treasure Chest.

Indeed...

Even fear couldn't completely hide their curiosity.

"Then... should we open it?"

Li Chun wasn't nervous initially, but seeing the timid girl's reaction, she hesitated a bit.

"Let's open it." Zhang Yue thought for a moment, took out a shield, and positioned it before the Treasure Chest.

This way, even if there was danger, she'd be the first to face it.

However, a jade-white limb suddenly appeared before her, followed by a huge creature shielding everyone.

"Little Spider!"

The small spider turned and looked at them helplessly, then flipped open the lid of the Forgotten Treasure Chest.

To everyone's surprise, apart from the sound of the lid hitting the chest, nothing unusual happened.

"Let me check it out." Zhang Yue approached the Treasure Chest, peered inside, and immediately looked disappointed: "Damn! It's empty!"

Everyone felt a sense of relief.

"But not completely empty."

Everyone's attention was piqued again.

Zhang Yue took out a note from the chest and read: "Thank you for your patronage!"

Li Chun: "..."

The others: "..."

After all the effort and anxiety, they opened an Empty Treasure Chest?

The Terminal is too much!

An empty chest is one thing, but putting a note inside that says 'Thank you for your patronage' just messes with people's minds!

"I knew we shouldn't have opened it, wasted two hundred Points for nothing!" the girl who initially refused to open it said angrily.

"Why are you looking at me?" the guy who suggested opening it retorted: "You agreed later too!"

"But it turns out my opinion was right!" The girl still glared at him as if he made a huge mistake.

"Tch, I can't be bothered to reason with you, because it's pointless!" the guy grumbled, ignoring her.

Li Chun spoke up: "It's okay, isn't this like what Mr. Xue proposed, that kind of theorem? If the chest isn't opened, its contents remain in a superposed state, none of us know what's inside."

"Exactly! If we didn't open it, there might have been a surprise inside, right?" The guy muttered just loud enough for the girl to hear: "Sister Chun understands, unlike some people."

"Wang Er Zhu, do you want a fight?" The girl instantly exploded with anger, like an enraged lioness.

"Bring it on! Do you think I'm scared?" Wang Er Zhu shouted: "And if you call me by my nickname again, I'll go all out on you, Tian Liuya!"

"You... you're dead meat! Wang Er Zhu!" Tian Liuya was furious with shame at being called by her nickname.

"Tian Liuya!"

"Wang Er Zhu!"

"Tian..."

Well, these two are still at it.

"Um... ahem... girl."

Liu Jiale, who had been ignored for a while, awkwardly said: "Could you help me get in touch with old Li?"

Li Chun inconspicuously put away the Empty Treasure Chest and told Liu Jiale: "Brother Li Zheng perished together with a boss in the Endless Ocean, and he's waiting for freeze time in the Transfer Space. It'll probably take another ten minutes or so, please wait a bit longer."

"Well... alright, we'll go fishing by the volcano's edge while we wait." Liu Jiale opened his mouth, then finally pulled Xu Ying aside with him.

After a while, Xu Ying suddenly walked over alone, looking at Zhang Yue and asking: "Can I have a private chat with you?"

Zhang Yue had just cast a baited fishing hook into the lava and replied without a change in expression: "No need for convenience, thank you."
