Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day

Chapter 975 683: Li Zheng: "Truly Ruthless!

"But what does this matter have to do with your ability to migrate your entire race to the outer city?" Li Zheng still didn't quite understand. Did accepting the wife they sent him allow these races to shed the identity of the Bloody and migrate to the outer city?

Besides, didn't Mo Li already get a job as a teleportation gate receptionist in the outer city?

Hasn't she already entered the outer city?

As long as one finds a way to earn more money to arrange for an outer city resident identity card for everyone in their race...

Not right!

Li Zheng suddenly realized: "Why is Mo Li the only one working at the teleportation gate she's in charge of? Why can other teleportation gate receptionists move freely, yet Mo Li needs others to even help her buy some snacks?"

Clearly, all these restrictions are imposed due to her inherent nature as a descendant of the Bloody.

"A promise, perhaps." The Black Dragon Race Ancestor said, "Actually, we don't know the intentions of the person from back then; he merely promised us that once this agreement is fulfilled, the people of our races can migrate to the outer city, no longer having to live in fear as we do now."

Although they ruled over territories in the wilderness, in reality, the locations they occupied were extremely remote. The Blood Race could only survive on a mountain peak in the Gobi Desert where resources were extremely scarce.

Sometimes, entirely chaotic Bloody individuals arrive, starting small-scale wars over minor disagreements. If not for the proximity of our three races, allowing mutual aid, we might have been exterminated long ago.

After all, to other races, aliens are seen as a kind of resource.

Li Zheng asked, "Are you so sure that person will fulfill the promise?"

"In fact, it's not him fulfilling the promise." The gray-haired woman spoke: "It's you."

Li Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then pointed at his own nose in surprise: "Me?"

Why me?

Why should I bear this effort, which would not make me popular?

"That person said, the one bringing a living newcomer to the outer city is definitely a kind-hearted, trustworthy individual." The Black Dragon Race Ancestor said: "Seeing you in person today only confirms the truth of his words."

Upon hearing this, both the Blood Queen and the gray-haired woman glanced at him in surprise but said nothing.

"Furthermore, that person said, though you are deeply affectionate and righteous, you're not overly enthusiastic about unfamiliar people, which is why we are to bind you with marital relations. With this bond, even if we don't mention it, you will help us migrate to the outer city."

Li Zheng: "???"

He glanced at Mirel and thought: "This person must be like me, one of the clones! He's got me completely figured out!"

Mirel thought: "This person must be one of the clones as well! He's got Li Zheng completely figured out!"

This time, the Blood Queen and the gray-haired woman nodded in agreement, indeed confirming that the person had said such words.

Li Zheng thought for a moment and said: "Here's a suggestion, I'll do my best to help you migrate to the outer city. As for the matter of sending a wife... let's just drop it, don't mention it again."

"No way." The Black Dragon Race Ancestor immediately replied: "That person also said you'll find an excuse to dodge the responsibility and neglect the matter, so we mustn't fall for it, and each race must assign a person to stay close to you, urging you."

Li Zheng: "!!!"

What the heck!!

A wise old coin this must be?

How could he have seen through my thoughts so long in advance?

Why are others so smart and excellent while my initial self was a flawed, defective product?

Thank goodness those flaws were rectified later on.

"So today I must accept the wife arranged for me by your races in order to leave here?" Li Zheng asked, unwilling to give up: "Can we compromise by only assigning one wife? You see, Mirel, being from the Enchanting Demon Race, is essentially on the same side as you, so she could also keep an eye on things..."

"No!"

Before he could finish, the Blood Queen first opposed: "The Enchanting Demons are all seductive floozies; it was their provocations that prevented the majority of races in the Abyss from advancing. Relying on her to supervise you would likely result in her caring only for the Enchanting Demon Race while neglecting the others."

Li Zheng attempted to argue, "Mirel isn't like that..."

But the Blood Queen stubbornly refused, her bias against the Enchanting Demon Race too deep: "Anyway, I don't trust those floozy Enchanting Demons; only if Dan Fenglai accompanies you will I be at ease."

Ridiculous that you'll feel at ease.

Li Zheng glanced at the reluctant Dan Fenglai and thought: "If she really follows me, you'd rather be uneasy, right? That girl is now single-mindedly trying to finish me off!"

"Heh..." The Black Dragon Race Ancestor chuckled and said, "Speaking of which, Xiao Ying does have a connection with our Black Dragon Race, having first awakened our genes. With her accompanying you, I won't be too worried."

Li Zheng was overjoyed, giving a thumbs-up, praising: "The Ancestor is so sensible!"

Finally, someone speaking reason, this is too moving.

"However!" The Black Dragon Race Ancestor changed his tone, continuing: "Handling this matter alone will certainly be tough, Mo Li should accompany you too; she might lend a hand at critical moments...

Don't worry, Mo Li might be eighty-one years old this year, but she just recently came of age in our race; she's absolutely unblemished, won't disgrace you."

Oh dear!

Got emotional too soon!

This old Black Dragon shifted his script, trying to persuade Li Zheng from another angle to accept the wife they designated...

This is simply ridiculous!

The gray-haired woman also chimed in: "For us in the Suffering Race, everything demands personal effort; such matters involving our race's life-and-death fate, there's no way we would entrust it to others to oversee. Therefore, Anan must also accompany you."

In the end, the matter seemed to return to the original point.

Li Zheng was left without options, took out the Inscription Card to contact the Terminal: "Is this your handiwork?"

The Terminal instantly replied: "No!"

Li Zheng chuckled wryly: "I haven't even said what it is, how do you know it's not?"

The Terminal dodged with a cheeky reply: "Whenever there's a message in this tone, immediately shirking responsibility is never wrong, now lay out your situation for me."

Li Zheng described his current predicament: "If it's not you, it's your arrangement for a previous clone that's responsible! Why am I now the one taking the blame?"

"You're talking about that matter?" The Terminal, aware of the entire context, replied: "As long as they arrange it for you, just accept it. It's actually just an excuse; if you rejected it, without the unique connection between you me him, I couldn't open a backdoor for you."

"What do you mean?" Li Zheng furrowed his brow: "So you are indeed involved in this matter?"

"Ah...that's correct, the little one was deliberately arranged by me for you." The Terminal openly admitted: "I personally put aside everything to monitor you back then. As it turned out, your luck was far superior to my imagination, to an absurd extent; every room was a perfectly safe haven. At one point, I suspected you opened some insane cheat from the Treasure Chest."

"..." Li Zheng was silent for a few seconds, realizing the Terminal couldn't detect the Detector and Old Pu's existence?

The Terminal continued: "Eventually you voluntarily entered a danger room marked for trial, fearing prolonged delay, I directly substituted the space for the next room so you'd encounter the little one as soon as possible."

"You planned this from that point onwards?" Li Zheng immediately replied: "Then why make me carry this burden? How about my predecessor? Why didn't he come himself?"

The Terminal sent a reply so infuriating Li Zheng's blood boiled: "He didn't want those wives either, committed suicide on the day you emerged."

Li Zheng: "cnm, truly outrageous!"
