Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day

Chapter 995 699: Bad Luck? The Source Lies With the Terminal!

"Genetic Force is born from the depths of the cells. Use Spiritual Power to stimulate the cells, causing them to accelerate the production of Genetic Force..."

Rothschild pondered seriously, considering the pros and cons of this method: "On the surface, it seems like this is exploiting cellular Potential, all harm and no benefit to humans. But what if the gene's strength happens to be at a perfect critical point?"

A gene at the perfect critical point is just right in strength, neither too strong nor too fragile.

It also exhibits greater adaptability and resilience.

By using the Spiritual Power stimulation method in such a state, it is equivalent to having the target area undergo intense exercise instantly in a short time, and to adapt to the next stimulation, the body will undoubtedly make corresponding changes.

"It's like regular bodybuilding; after high-intensity workouts, trained parts of the body will feel sore for a few days, but after getting used to it and adapting, the muscles are developed..."

Rothschild muttered to himself, bowing his head as he walked away in thought.

Feng Yue looked at Rothschild, then at Li Zheng, and finally decided it was better to leave with the professor, so he bid farewell to the two of them.

Li Zheng didn't mind and went home with Mirel to eat, take a bath, and prepare to open a Treasure Chest.

Having learned his lesson from the Adaptive Combat Suit, Li Zheng no longer held high expectations, extracting and opening it casually, only to be dazzled by a jade-white porcelain bottle inside.

"Another bottle of Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill?"

He looked closely and found that the soft stopper used for sealing the bottle wasn't red satin, but golden silk.

Reaching out to take it, the porcelain bottle jangled with a sound that wasn't as crisp as the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill, but rather a more muffled noise.

This indicated that the pills in this bottle were slightly larger than the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill.

As the Treasure Chest vanished, old Pusan finally came late to provide information.

[Nourishing Yuan Pill, a pill of the same origin as the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill, with strong restorative Ability. Taking one can restore you to peak condition within thirty minutes.]

[Note: This product has no Healing effect. If injured, please get proper treatment, don't expect this to save your life, or you will die.]

"Nourishing Yuan Pill..." Li Zheng looked up at a 45-degree angle, sighing at the ceiling: "Damn, the names of the things that come out of the Treasure Chest are getting more and more mystical. Who knows what effect a Foundation Establishment Pill will have someday..."

In fact, so-called elixirs are just medicines made with various special materials using corresponding methods. If you take one out for professionals to analyze and deduce, you might figure out the formula or find a corresponding substitute and create a counterfeit elixir...

"Hmm..." Li Zheng pondered for a few seconds, then said to Mirel: "I'm going to the Central Hub. I'll be back soon."

"Mwah."

Mirel reluctantly wiped her mouth: "Alright."

Li Zheng took out the Adaptive Combat Suit, dressed neatly, and then took out the Inscription Card to contact the Terminal: "Pick me up to the Central Hub, I have something to tell you."

Swish!

In the next second, the scene before his eyes changed, and the large face of the Terminal appeared on the electronic screen, impatiently questioning: "What do you want again? I'm busy here!"

Li Zheng curiously asked: "I've long wanted to ask, what do you usually do?"

Clearly, you could just relax and take it easy, but the Terminal seems busier than anyone. I don't even know what projects he's busy with.

"I have way more things to deal with than you can imagine," the Terminal complained, "I have to clean up the mess left by a clone that played itself to death, a project he initially researched, and now I've taken it over. I still haven't managed to create a second healthy multi-racial genetic creation... Hmm, the first one is with you, called Xiaoying."

"There are over three hundred similar projects, who the hell did I offend? Oh... my genes seem to have a significant problem, why do the clones keep rebelling or slicing themselves as soon as there's some progress in the project?"

"Not only do I have to cover for them, but some annoying busybody also sends me more cloning projects and frequently asks questions. Now they even come asking what I'm busy with every day!"

Li Zheng's face darkened, it seemed the annoying busybody was him.

"Sigh... let's talk, what brings you to the Central Hub specifically?" The Terminal, after venting for a while, seemed in a much better mood, returning to his usual amiable demeanor.

Li Zheng took out some items from the capsule, arranging them in front: "Could you analyze the composition of these items for me? If possible, it'd be great if you could decipher their manufacturing method."

"What are these..." The Terminal's face shifted from the large electronic screen to the corner small electronic screen, using several mechanical arms to pick up the items Li Zheng displayed for a moment: "Did you get these from the Treasure Chest?"

What Li Zheng took out included the Heart-Calming Bell, Hundred Flowers Painting, one Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill, and one Nourishing Yuan Pill.

"Correct, all these things I got recently," Li Zheng said helplessly. "I didn't want to trouble you, but the progress of the Blue Star Players is too slow. I temporarily don't have any help, so I had to come to you."

"Oh?" The Terminal's expression changed: "You're luckier than me to open so many finished products; you wait a moment, I'll try to analyze them first."

With that, he started operating in the backstage.

The ground emitted the sound of hydraulic equipment, and after a brief vibration, a few complex machines rose from below.

The mechanical arms picked up the Heart-Calming Bell, placing it on the machine, and several clamps extended from the sides to hold it securely, afterward, a thin and long spray gun-shaped object descended from above.

The front end of the spray gun lit up, projecting a beam, scanning back and forth over the surface of the Heart-Calming Bell.

A display beside the machine rapidly flashed a series of names and data that Li Zheng could not understand.

"Hmm... interesting," the Terminal said, becoming increasingly focused on the data: "A few of the materials have very unique densities, and the sound frequency created upon striking them can affect the Spiritual Domain... However, I've never seen these materials before, perhaps it can be reproduced using alloy methods."

"I'll keep this bell here with me for some time to study it and notify you when I have results."

The Terminal collected the Heart-Calming Bell and placed the Hundred Flowers Painting on the scanner.

"The method used for this painting is similar to the bell just now, also influencing the Spiritual Domain through special patterns. However, it combines multiple dimensions of colors, scents, marks, and visual appreciation. Take the painting back; I've recorded all the data and you can attempt to replicate it with existent materials, but no guarantee of success."

The Hundred Flowers Painting was returned to Li Zheng. The machine switched to another for the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill.

This time, it wasn't a laser scan, but a long needle pierced the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill, taking multiple samples from the pill's body for a chemical analysis.

The testing on the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill took quite a while, a full half-hour before the Terminal concluded: "Eighty percent of the materials in there are things I've never encountered, not even similar in effect. Unless someone invests a lot of time to cultivate the corresponding materials, it can't be replicated."

The same conclusion was reached for the Nourishing Yuan Pill.

Afterward, the Terminal said: "Those two pills likely don't belong to this universe!"

Li Zheng was moved and asked: "Have you never opened anything like these before?"

"That's why I said you're luckier than me," the Terminal said with a bitter smile. "Back then, the Treasure Chest System released a mission that upgrading could be achieved by successfully opening three Super Divine Level Treasure Chest Systems... Over countless years, I've opened unknown numbers of Treasure Chests, yet not a single Super Divine Level among them!"
