Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day

Currently, the highest grade of mechanical Sword Mantis that Li Zheng can produce is Gold Level. Theoretically, if mass-produced, he could form a mechanical army and play the "human wave" tactic.

However…

The impact is minimal.

After all, the opponents he encounters now are all Platinum and Diamond levels. A group of Gold-level mechanical Sword Mantises would hardly make a difference and would only be a waste of materials.

"So... hell, you two are just a burden!" Li Zheng was speechless. He closed the attributes panel of the bloody mechanical devices and then drove them out to stand guard at the door.

Although the loyalty of these two machines seemed quite high, Xiao Siyuan's warning remained etched in his mind.

Until he was sure of their true loyalty, Li Zheng was still not fully trusting of them.

Once he pushed the two machines out, Li Zheng suddenly noticed two system alerts he had overlooked.

"Did their loyalty level up earlier?" Li Zheng checked the time; it was exactly when he teleported back to 879.

Both machines had their loyalty increased by a considerable amount—one by 25 and the other by 30. Subtracting this increase, they previously only had half of their loyalty level.

"So, before knowing that I am the channel administrator of the area, these two machines were actually in a sort of unstable state, capable of betraying me at any moment?" Li Zheng kept this in mind.

He thought that from the beginning, the two machines probably just used acknowledging him as their master as a means to escape the dungeon.

It was only after they emerged that they realized he was a one-in-a-thousand channel manager, and their aim had temporarily shifted.

"In the future, when sleeping at night, I can't let them stay indoors unless I have Lao Cao's ability to kill in my dreams. Otherwise, it's too risky." Li Zheng thought for a moment, then brought out the True Maze. After opening it, he cast it outside to wrap around his residence.

Having the True Maze and the two machines would greatly increase safety while sleeping at night, guarding against wandering monsters or players attacking in secret.

If Li Zheng had the True Maze earlier, when the Dark Knight came here, it wouldn't have been easy for him to find Li Zheng.

"Next, it's the spiritual training, then waiting for today's Treasure Chest refreshment, and after drawing the treasure, rest—there's much to be done tomorrow." Li Zheng returned to the bedside, took off the Emotion Balance Bracelet, and tried hard to recall scenes that could agitate his heart.

From the crime scene of Lin Fengjiao's murder to the fate of the Elephant Country woman, the sheer evil of human nature in these scenarios relentlessly pricked at his heart, stirring up boundless rage.

With crazily intensifying emotions, those scenes vividly flashed before him as if they had just happened.

A tide of anger surged from the depths of his heart, battering his reason with every wave, attempting to overthrow his mindset and turn him into a puppet of fury.

Li Zheng initially believed that he could easily control the anger he generated, but he underestimated the ancient technology's methods.

Once the tide of anger was incited, his thirst for killing uncontrollably soared sky-high, inciting his eyes to turn blood-red with a desire to destroy everything in sight.

"It's... so... tough..." Li Zheng felt the portion of his reason belonging to calmness growing weaker, on the brink of collapse.

According to his doctor's advice, the longer this process is sustained, the stronger the training effect on his spiritual power would be.

His nerves now felt like a tightly stretched string that, once snapped, would plunge him into inevitable doom.

By then, no matter what kind of plugins he had, he would just be a puppet controlled by rampant will.

"Just a little more... endurance, just a little more..." While struggling to suppress the tide of anger, Li Zheng also made an arduous effort to resist the urge to put on the bracelet.

If he decided to wear the bracelet now, today's training would be over.

However, the doctor's suggestion was to push beyond the limits and end at the very last unbearable step to yield the strongest training effect.

As time passed second by second, Li Zheng clenched his teeth hard, his eyes bloodshot.

A bloody aura began to emanate from him, intensifying from nonexistent to overwhelming.

Until even Sakura and the two bloody mechanical devices could sense the invisible pressure.

Crash!

Bam!

The bathroom door opened as Sakura stood worriedly at the entrance, having witnessed everything with Li Zheng and knowing the peril of what he was doing.

Outside the residence, the two bloody mechanical devices stood to the left and right. The slight resentment they had after being pushed out dissipated, leaving only terror after sensing the strong bloody aura.

Having survived the Bloody Battlefield, they too had experienced many scenes of bloodshed.

They had also felt pure Blood Qi.

But the bloody aura that Li Zheng released now was different from the simple Blood Qi.

The Blood Qi surrounding the Kron Race was very stable, so stable that it became simple, unless supplemented by Blood Qi Ability, otherwise, it lacked suppressing force against others.

However, the bloody aura emitted by Li Zheng harbored a will of chaos capable of destroying everything. Just a slight perception of it made the two machines' consciousnesses madly fluctuate, involuntarily recalling certain scenes they were unwilling to confront.

If someone were next to them now, they could sense a hint of faint fear.

Under the pressure of this aura, the loyalty levels of Kuro and Ys subtly increased.

Just by single digits, the increase wasn't significant, and Li Zheng, fighting the storm of fury, had no time to pay attention to this.

Meanwhile, in a certain room of the Matrix, a member from the Stealing Country Room N organization was closing the door of their residence, about to rest.

Just after the door closed, there were suddenly some fluctuations, signals that someone was using the Jumping Device to arrive at this spot.

Soon, four Teleportation Gates silently opened amidst the fluctuations, and several figures stepped out consecutively.

The four of them were uniformly dressed in black clothes and pants, with black masks on their faces, and their hair wrapped in pure black headscarves, concealing their foreheads.

Upon their arrival, they immediately assumed primary and secondary roles. The leading figure verified the information, then lowered his voice and spoke in English: "Quan Xiangzuo, one of the confidants of the Room N leader, holding a large amount of Gold and higher-grade material items, including those that can temporarily sever the connection between player and system, should also be here."

"Mr. Banquan... oh no, I mean Mr. James, without the isolation equipment, even if we seize Quan Xiangzuo, it would still be difficult to get anything from him, right?" A black-clad person with a height of only 1.6 meters instinctively spoke in their native language before being glared at by the leader and correcting themselves.

"On the contrary, he can completely stall us, waiting for support from others in Room N."

Although it's late now, there are still numerous players staying up late chatting in water channels. Quan Xiangzuo could summon a considerable amount of support.

"So we need to wait now," whispered Mr. James, or rather, Banquan Longma.

"Wait? Wait for what?" asked the one who stood 1.6 meters.

"Wait for fewer people chatting in this channel, and wait for Quan Xiangzuo to come out of his residence," Banquan Longma explained.

"How do you know he'll come out of his residence?" The 1.6-meter one still had many doubts.

With confidence and a look of cunning, Banquan Longma said, "He will definitely come out!"
