Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day

Chapter 663 490: "What surpasses you is not the swordsmanship, but me!" (Long-awaited 6K)_3

"Comparing this to the starting location here, why am I suddenly feeling sorry for those troops still hiding in the transfer space chewing on dry rations?"

"Not just you, I'm feeling sorry for them too..."

"It's so pitiful. They have fish, shrimp, crabs, sea urchins, shark fin, abalone, oysters, scallops... to eat, while all they can eat is barbecue."

"Ugh~ Could you please stop mentioning the word 'barbecue'? I'm about to throw up from eating it these days!"

"Boohoo, uncontrollable tears are streaming down the corners of my mouth!"

"Mama! I also want to eat seafood!"

"You look like seafood!"

"By the way, I have a question~ Do you think the fish caught in the volcano can be grilled thoroughly?"

...

In such an extraordinary scene, there's an even more extraordinary presence.

Led by Zhan Zhouzhou, all those swordsmanship apprentices who once learned from her start tossing seafood into the air while holding swords in their other hands, mimicking the exaggerated wrist movements seen in movies.

The cold glimmers flash everywhere, and the tossed seafood is neatly sliced into the desired shapes by the sharp blades.

"Here's the speed!"

Zhan Zhouzhou hands the processed lobster segments and sea cucumber slices to Li Zheng: "I can't wait any longer!"

No one in Dragon Country can resist the temptation of delicious food!

Even if it's Zhan Zhouzhou holding a sword!

"I mean, is it really necessary?"

Li Zheng looks at the basket filled with fragrant ingredients, silently speechless.

No matter how eager you are, there's no need to use the Purple Extreme Sword to cut them, right?

The powerful electrical current instantly pierces through the tender food upon contact, making Li Zheng feel like saying he ate a taste of sashimi would be deceiving himself!

Seeing Zhan Zhouzhou, whose appetite has been whetted, seemingly tempted to poke herself a few times with the sword, Li Zheng hastily hands the items to Mirel, flipping through the stove's built-in recipe for what Zhan Zhouzhou needs for two dishes and explaining them to the little enchanting demon.

Soon, Mirel nods confidently: "Got it, I know how!"

Li Zheng: "..."

Just listening once and understanding, how does this feeling resemble those cooking tutorial videos with bullet comments and reviews?

"Lying at home, skills grow in my heart," right?

Considering Mirel's "Seeking Knowledge" attribute, the possibility of grasping the gist after listening to a few words is still quite high, so Li Zheng did not dwell too much on these.

Cooking requires many ingredients, and Mirel alone surely wouldn't be able to manage.

Li Zheng thinks for a moment, releasing two Intelligent Humanoids (housekeeping models), trying to let them help with chopping and preparing.

He thought that since he had never asked them to do similar tasks, this command might not be executable.

Who would have thought that the two Intelligent Humanoids each picked up a knife, stood at the counter, and began chopping furiously, surprisingly skillfully.

Li Zheng was stunned for a while before nodding silently, after all, they are housekeeping models, cooking counts as household chores, how could they not know how to chop and prepare?

However, their intelligence is too rigid, as no matter the ingredient, they only cut basic diamond-shaped slices.

"Hey! Old Li!"

Liu Jiale brings Xu Ying out of the teleportation gate at this time, spotting Li Zheng at the front of the team and greeting him.

"Perfect timing, join us for lunch." Li Zheng turns around to extend the invitation.

Beside Liu Jiale, Xu Ying's eyes slightly light up, seemingly interested.

However, Liu Jiale says: "Eating can be for next time, we have something to discuss this visit..."

"What could be more important than eating?" Li Zheng interrupts him with a sweeping gesture, speaking with an undeniable tone: "Even if there's something huge, it has to wait until after the meal."

"Yeah, what can't be addressed after a meal?" Xiao Siyuan walks over with a few volleyball-sized, sea urchin-like objects in his hands, "Besides, you know how Old Li is, he seems generous on the surface but is quite stingy underneath. Missing today's meal, who knows when you'll get to eat next—probably waiting till the cows come home."

Lin Fengjiao follows behind him, spreads out a 5x5 piece of dining cloth, and lays it flat on the beach.

Xiao Siyuan puts down the 'sea urchins' in his hands, then invites Zhan Zhouzhou: "Heroine Zhan, may I borrow your swordsmanship?"

Zhan Zhouzhou nods slightly, and although her actions are not visible, suddenly sword lights flash repeatedly and then she stands with her sword held calmly.

She coldly says two words: "Done."

As the sound falls, the sea urchins emit cracking sounds, one after another separating vertically into half, revealing an inconspicuous slim fissure between them.

Witnessing Zhan Zhouzhou's swordsmanship feats, Xu Ying's pupils shrink sharply, her expression turning serious: "Your surname is Zhan, from the Zhan family of Zhejiang Hangzhou?"

"Who are you...?" Zhan Zhouzhou frowns, scrutinizing Xu Ying, discovering an 'Swordsmanship Specialization' ability in her attributes.

"Jing-Jin-Ji district, Xu family." Xu Ying raises both hands, fists of her right hand against the palm of her left, tiger mouth facing herself, performing a salute: "Nice to meet you."

"Xu family?!"

Zhan Zhouzhou surveys the slender Xu Ying again with shock: "Doesn't your family play around with giant swords?"

Giant Sword, also known as "Oversized Sword" or "Heavy Sword." It's a branch of "Sword."

In Zhan Zhouzhou's impression, those who wield giant swords are usually burly men; it's rare to see women learning it.

Even if it's a family tradition, they typically wouldn't pass it to daughters.

It's said that if a family proficient in giant swords reaches a generation with only female offspring and can't produce sons, they would resort to martial arts contests for marriage, choosing a satisfactory husband to inherit the family's skills and prevent them from being lost.
