Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day

Chapter 998 702: The Starting Point Legion Gets Framed by the Terminal

When Li Zheng left Block Four, it was cold and desolate, no one was on the road, like a ghost town.

Returning here now, he saw the streets bustling with people, shouting and calling out, very lively.

They were people from the Blood Patterned Black Dragon, Blood Race, and Suffering Race.

Besides them, there were quite a few people from Water Blue Star, some of whom Li Zheng had met before.

"Everyone, come quickly, Li Zheng is back!" Wang Chaoran, sharp-eyed, spotted Li Zheng, shouted loudly, attracting a lot of attention.

Everyone turned their heads and saw Li Zheng, their faces lighting up with joy, spreading the word: "Li Zheng is back!"

"Everyone come to greet him!"

"Li Zheng is back! Everyone, come quickly!"

Xiao Siyuan walked out from a store by the street, saw Li Zheng standing at the Teleportation Gate, smiled and walked over, closely followed by Lin Fengjiao, who was covered in bandages and looked excited.

"You guys..." Li Zheng looked at Xiao Siyuan: "When did you arrive at the Outer City? Why didn't anyone inform me?"

Xiao Siyuan stood before Li Zheng, smiled and said: "We just arrived yesterday, this time over three hundred people entered the Outer City, all skilled members of the Starting Point Legion."

"What?" Li Zheng was slightly surprised and quickly asked: "So many of you entered, what about those left in the Matrix?"

"They won't be in trouble." Wang Chaoran replied: "Since you wiped out all the people from those major corps, everyone within the Matrix has shown great respect to our Starting Point Legion, and no one dares to attack our members at night anymore."

Xiao Siyuan continued: "According to your request, I strictly regulated everyone's behavior in Starting Point, forbidding them from bullying others. On the contrary, after regaining strength, if we encounter people seeking help on the integrated channel, we would proactively go to rescue them."

"Good... good!" Li Zheng said "good" three times consecutively before asking: "What about Phoenix Mountain? Didn't he come in?"

He missed Phoenix Mountain's lucky BUFF for many days. As long as Phoenix Mountain could say "wish comes true" to him every day, the Treasure Chest would surely open to reveal many good items.

"Phoenix Mountain is the last pillar of Starting Point. This time he voluntarily stayed in the Matrix to care for other members who couldn't come in." Xiao Siyuan explained: "By the way, here's something for you."

He raised his hand and revealed a machine, which was the Genetic Potion Making Station Li Zheng had temporarily given him earlier.

"Thanks to you leaving this machine behind, we've been able to develop faster later on." Xiao Siyuan said: "It's a pity Nine Heavens and Kunlun didn't receive the group mission this time; otherwise, if Ye Kai and the others came in, you could witness Ye Kai's remarkable feats."

Ye Kai...

Upon hearing this name, Li Zheng's pupils constricted slightly.

The Ye siblings and Chu Xiao siblings were suspected to be transmigrators from Earth, and Li Zheng also wanted to find an opportunity to have a good conversation with them.

Unfortunately, it seems this will still take some time.

"You mentioned a group mission earlier?" Li Zheng furrowed his brow: "Tell me more."

"We can talk as we walk." Xiao Siyuan pointed to Li Zheng's Magic Crystal Store not far away, where many people had gathered by the roadside, including people from the three races and Water Blue Star.

Everyone looked at Li Zheng with a deep respect in their eyes.

Except for Dan Fenglai.

She was also in the crowd but was glaring at Li Zheng as if looking at an enemy.

"Mirel, go call the other sisters over." Li Zheng turned to Mirel and said: "I have something to announce to them."

"Okay." Mirel agreed and went straight towards Dan Fenglai, grabbing her despite her fierce struggles, dragging her to find Mo Li and Anan.

"Let's go, tell me everything I don't know." Li Zheng and Xiao Siyuan walked through the crowd, under the respectful and grateful gazes of the people, and entered the Magic Crystal Store.

The Magic Crystal Store had a long queue, and Le Jia was at the counter, almost going crazy with busyness, cleaning Twisted Magic Crystals for mostly people from the three races who had accumulated them over time without channels to clean them. Now that they were in the Outer City, naturally, they wanted to make the most of them.

Li Zheng walked over, his Spiritual Power surged, sweeping over all Twisted Magic Crystals, instantly wiping out the remnants of evil thought's aura within.

"Sir." A strong man from the Black Dragon Race respectfully asked: "Has the ancestor come back with you?"

Not only was he concerned about this, actually the whole three races were worried about their former chiefs, ancestors.

Li Zheng glanced at them and said in a deep voice: "They didn't come. You all go out first; some things will be explained to you by your new chief later."

"Alright."

Upon hearing such an obvious dismissal, those waiting to clean the Twisted Magic Crystals from the three races retreated.

"Wait?" Le Jia reached out her hand to them, sweating profusely: "You haven't paid your service fee yet!"

She glanced at Li Zheng, with a deep-rooted fear in her eyes, bypassed them and chased them out.

Li Zheng shook his head lightly; how could he not see that Le Jia was actually taking the opportunity to escape from this place?

But it's good; there would be no idle people in the store, so they wouldn't be disturbed.

"A few days ago, the Terminal issued a group mission, and our Starting Point took it first."

Seeing most people had left, Xiao Siyuan began to recount the story of the Starting Point Legion sending many people into the Outer City.

"What was the group mission's requirement?" Li Zheng asked.

Xiao Siyuan replied: "The mission was very strange; it didn't require us to fight or do anything, just sent us to a completely dark space to live for three days. As soon as the three-day limit was up, we were delivered to the Outer City."

"Oh?" Li Zheng raised an eyebrow and asked: "Such a simple mission, others didn't take?"

"The Terminal only announced the mission, requiring three hundred participants but didn't explain the task content. Liu Qi and others worried that a task needing so many people might be too dangerous, so they dared not accept it." Xiao Siyuan said.

Wang Chaoran added: "Actually, we didn't intend to at first; later, someone in the legion unknowingly accepted the mission, and we were compelled to choose some... voluntarily sacrificed members for the task. Unexpectedly, the task was so easy, with no danger at all, and was completed."

Lin Fengjiao suddenly whispered: "It was... it was me who accidentally accepted it..."

Everyone looked at her in surprise, she lowered her head deeply: "I really accidentally accepted the task... I clicked to view task details and the Terminal prompted me that I accepted the task, I thought something went wrong, didn't dare to speak before."

This didn't seem like Lin Fengjiao's slip of hand, more like she was framed by the Terminal.

Li Zheng's eyes moved, he took out the Inscription Card to contact the Terminal: "What do you mean by the group mission you issued?"

The Terminal quickly replied: "Finding you some help so you don't rely on me to solve everything for you."

"..."

Indeed, it was the Terminal framing! Li Zheng sighed inwardly, comforting Lin Fengjiao: "It's not your fault."
