Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day

Chapter 662 490: "What is stronger than you is not the swordsmanship, but me!" (A much-anticipated 6K)_2

"The leader is here!"

Besides the members gathered around the bonfire enjoying a seafood feast, Xiao Siyuan had arranged more than fifty people to guard the entrance.

As soon as someone saw Li Zheng approaching, they immediately shouted loudly, catching everyone's attention.

"Welcome back, Leader!"

"Wow~ clap, clap, clap~"

A loud cheer was followed by thunderous applause on the beach.

Almost single-handedly defeating two invincible bosses, Li Zheng's strength was no longer doubted by anyone from old to new members.

People have a deep respect for the strong, and they weren't shy to give their loudest applause for Li Zheng's arrival.

Seeing the group members so enthusiastic, a rare sincere smile appeared at the corner of Li Zheng's mouth, and he gestured to them.

This old cadre-like demeanor made Xiao Siyuan and the other vice leaders not far away roll their eyes frequently. They couldn't show a good face, yet they didn't want to embarrass him publicly, so they clapped awkwardly.

Wang Chaoran was extremely excited, as if the higher his idol's prestige, the happier he was. His palms were red from clapping, and he put two fingers in his mouth, letting out a sharp and high-pitched whistle.

"Leader! I want to have your babies!" Chen Xiangrong took out a handkerchief to cover half of his face, shouting coquettishly.

The Starting Point group burst into thunderous laughter.

Hearing this, Li Zheng, who was originally enjoying the welcome, suddenly had a change of face: "No way! Even magnets repel each other when facing the same pole!"

Seeing Li Zheng respond to him, Chen Xiangrong got even more excited and shouted, "I can turn around!"

Turn around...

As everyone knows, when a magnet changes direction, its polarity changes.

"Get out of here!" Li Zheng exclaimed exaggeratedly, causing everyone to burst into laughter again.

"Oh~" Chen Xiangrong pretended to be aggrieved, with seven parts indignation and three parts shyness, sitting down like a wronged little wife.

After a few jokes, Li Zheng sent a message to the group: "As delicious as grilled food is, everyone must be tired of it by now, right? Today, we're going to improve our meals. If anyone has fresh or rare ingredients, you can bring them to the entrance to have me cook them. I promise it won't be any worse than the chefs in star-rated hotels!"

Then he shouted loudly again: "Time is limited, first come, first served!"

Following that, he directly set up the stove at the entrance.

With a rumble, this stove, full of technological flair and completely different from the everyday electromagnetic stoves and gas stoves, made its first appearance before everyone.

He also took out a large pile of various seasonings and placed them beside him. Li Zheng said to Mirel, who was standing in front of the stove, "I'll leave it to you from here."

"No problem!"

Mirel stood on her tiptoes, picked up the large spatula from the pan, and activated manual mode, confident with a tail wrapping around a knife.

Cooking is all about the right heat and seasoning; the taste wouldn't go too wrong.

After practicing with a few meals before, Mirel was confident that no matter what ingredients were handed to her, they would turn out delicious.

"Let me have a serving of salt-baked shrimp and braised sea cucumber first!"

A figure dashed like the wind, rushing ahead and taking out two baskets.

It was Zhan Zhouzhou, who didn't want to miss out by chance and was naturally not far away!

Zhan Zhouzhou held his arms out straight, grasping a sturdy basket in each hand; one filled with some battered Australian lobsters and the other with sea cucumbers as thick and long as cucumbers.

Li Zheng looked down at the two baskets in front of him and realized that even if he didn't need to cook himself, translating this might keep him busy for a while.

And then seeing the enthusiastic group members approaching, Li Zheng suddenly felt a headache, thinking he might have dug himself into a hole with this welfare initiative?

Out of the Starting Point members participating in this event, apart from those at the Lava Mountain Range, more than 1,800 were all gathered in the Endless Ocean.

Even if the seafood produced by the Matrix possessed extraordinary properties needing only minimal processing to make dishes, fulfilling orders for over 1,800 people would take several hours...

Rubbing his forehead, Li Zheng said to Zhan Zhouzhou, who looked at him expectantly, "Go, have the ingredients prepared yourself before bringing them over."

"What did you just say?!" Zhan Zhouzhou raised his eyebrows in disbelief, thinking that preparing ingredients wasn't supposed to be the chef's job?

Li Zheng pointed at the endless line of people and said, "With so many people, if Mirel and I have to prepare every ingredient, when would we finish?"

Saying this, he added a rule in the group channel that anyone wanting to enjoy delicious food must first prepare their own ingredients before bringing them over.

In the next moment, the atmosphere in the Endless Ocean took a sharp turn, with nearly two thousand people lining up to prepare seafood.

There were those scraping scales, peeling skin, de-shelling, and removing veins.

And many novice cooks were left bewildered, clumsily tearing their ingredients apart while discussing how their ingredient should be ideally prepared.

Back when Li Zheng held an auction, he sold dishes, even fetching high prices!

Those dishes weren't something just anyone could taste, and now with the opportunity before them, what's preparing their own seafood to get a taste of the "legendary" dish?

Nearly two thousand people!

Sitting in unison on the beach preparing seafood, the sight was nothing short of spectacular.

The people watching the live broadcast were utterly perplexed.

Elsewhere, people were thrifty in the Lava Mountain Range, too cautious about their point accumulation to feast on fish freely.

But here you all are, going ahead with an all-out seafood feast?
