Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day

Chapter 18: The Second Treasure Chest

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

After breakfast, Li Zheng opened the door to his capsule. It was much brighter outside.

As he was used to the dark in his capsule, Li Zheng found it a little glaring.

However, he got used to it very quickly. He beckoned for Chirpy to go outside and have fun while he stayed in the capsule.

“First of all, I need to make a water purifier.”

Li Zheng opened the crafting page, and three seconds later, a small water purifier appeared in front of him.

After putting in the power core that he used in the previous water purifier, Li Zheng started to pee into it.

While shaking his d*ck, Li Zheng obtained another 400 milliliters of purified water.

As usual, it was divided into four portions and listed in the trading room. The price was still 20g of B25 manganese steel.

“As for this water purifier…”

Li Zheng thought he should keep it and use it as a toilet.

The water purifier used a small amount of energy when it was in standby mode, so Li Zheng took out the power core that was at 65% power and put it next to it.

“This machine’s sewage conversion efficiency is really high, reaching nearly 100%. But the energy consumption…”

Li Zheng was no longer a newbie who had just entered the matrix. He had a rough idea of the value of various items.

First of all, food and water were definitely scarce resources, but because of the existence of monsters, they weren’t particularly valuable.

It was just that most people had not yet improved their strength, so food could be sold at a high price.

In a few days, after the surviving players had more combat equipment, the value of food would plummet.

Other than food and water, the value of the other items could be ordered ascendingly as such: basic materials, gene cores, power cores, blueprints, and special materials.

Basic materials were iron ingots, copper ingots, and spare parts. Gene cores were the materials decomposed from the genetically-modified monsters.

Blueprints were divided into one-time blueprints and learnable blueprints. Both of them had their own advantages and disadvantages, but their value was roughly the same.

The most valuable special materials were the technology cores and thermal controllers that Li Zheng had obtained yesterday.

There were also miscellaneous items like the flame flowers, which could develop special-type genes in the players.

However, due to its low success rate, its value fluctuated greatly.

For example, Feng Shan exchanged a bronze-grade blueprint for a silver-grade flame flower.

In Li Zheng’s opinion, the flame flower was worth less than a bronze-grade blueprint.

As for the items with the lowest value, they were definitely gray-grade items.

“When the small water purifier is activated, it will consume 5% of the power core energy to convert 100 milliliters of water. A type I power core can only convert two liters of water.”

After exploring ten rooms the day before, Li Zheng had traded all of them. At the moment, he only had four type I power cores left.

“However, the optimal water intake for an ordinary person is about two liters a day, which is equivalent to consuming a type I power core every day.”

The price-performance ratio was too low!

If it weren’t for the lack of water, Li Zheng wouldn’t even want to use the water purifier.

“Forget it, I still have many things to do today.”

Li Zheng was no longer bothered by the price-performance ratio of the water purifier.

After he was done peeing, he felt another stronger type of urge.

Li Zheng had no choice but to look at the most useless resource, fiber.

“Sigh… It’s a pity that there’s no paper…”

Li Zheng’s face was full of pain. He pulled out some fiber and went to the outside of the capsule to relieve himself.

Squatting in a corner, Li Zheng opened the system interface and tapped on the detector.

“How much has it leveled up?”

[Advanced detector, gold-grade, unique device.]

[It could show, but not limited to, information about materials, items, creatures, and players.]

[The higher the item’s level, the more detailed the information.]

[Materials required for the next upgrade: AI core x1, titanium alloy 300g, type IV power core x1, basic module x30]

Other than the changes in the name, level, and upgrade materials, the item description of the detector did not change much. The only difference was that the word “basic” was dropped.

“A gold-grade item!”

Li Zheng’s face lit up.

After the removal last night, there were still about three billion players in the game.

“Among these three billion players, how many people got gold-grade item on the second day?”

There should be some

But definitely not many!

Feng Shan and Zhan Zhouzhou were the top players in the channel.

During yesterday’s transaction, he saw that they only had silver-grade items.

Even for Li Zheng, this gold-grade item was obtained from an external treasure chest.

There was no need to consider other normal players.

“Maybe this detector is the only gold-grade item in the entire matrix that was obtained by a player.”

Li Zheng wanted to show the item off to Feng Shan.

However, his rationality suppressed his desire to show off.

“Calm down, calm down. I’ll make a fortune silently. Let’s see what’s the effect.”

The upgraded detector didn’t change much in appearance. It was still single-lens, but the color had changed to black except for the lens.

He put on the detector and waited for a moment before looking at the metal doors.

[Left: dangerous (red), environment]

[Right: dangerous (orange-red), creature]

[Front: safe (blue), material]

Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks

[Above: safe (blue), food.]

[Ground: empty.]

Not only could the upgraded detector detect the danger behind the metal door, but it could also detect what kind of resources were in the room or what kind of danger was in it!

“Amazing!”

It was a pity that the system did not have a physical body. Otherwise, he would have given it a good kiss.

However, even if he couldn’t kiss the system, he could kiss the treasure chest.

After taking a look at the treasure chest system, Li Zheng became excited again.

[The treasure chest has been refreshed. Do you want to retrieve it now?]

“The refresh time…is 12 am, just as I thought!”

Li Zheng used some fiber to clean up the dirt and was about to release today’s random treasure when he looked up and saw Chirpy copying him, squatting not far away with its butt sticking out.

“…”

Seeing Li Zheng looking at it, Chirpy blushed and turned its head away in embarrassment, not wanting to meet his eyes.

“…”

Li Zheng looked at the small stain on the ground behind Chirpy, then at the fellow’s short little hands. It was obvious that it could not reach its behind.

“Alright, I’m your parent now…”

After returning to the capsule, he pulled out some fiber and helped Chirpy clean its butt.

The little creature lowered its head the whole time, extremely shy.

Its two little wings were faintly pink.

“Chirp…”

Chirpy activated her rapid flight ability and plunged into the fiber where she slept last night.

“It gets shy…”

Li Zheng was both amused and speechless.

Why didn’t it feel embarrassed when it sat on my hand?

“Hmm…”

Li Zheng wiped his hands with the remaining fiber expressionlessly.

[Drawing today’s treasure chest…]

[Success. Treasure chest quality: bronze-grade. Do you wish to withdraw now?]

“Bronze-grade?”

Li Zheng frowned.

It seemed that he was not lucky today. The random treasure chest he got today was not as good as the one from yesterday.

However, since he already got it, he should claim it.

He could not control the quality of the treasure.

“Yes.”

After witnessing the power of a gold-grade item, Li Zheng was not interested in a mere bronze-grade treasure chest.

Thump!

As its name suggests, the bronze-grade treasure chest was bronze in color.

Li Zheng went over and opened it.

[Obtained: bronze-grade air purifier blueprint.]

[Obtained: high-level spare parts x10]

[Congratulations. You obtained a gold-grade item: type IV power core x1.]

“…”

“What the f*ck!??”

“A critical hit?”

“A bronze-grade treasure chest could contain a gold-grade item?!”

Li Zheng’s eyes widened in shock.

When Li Zheng came to his senses, his first reaction was not to shout in excitement.

Instead, he opened the private chat, found Feng Shan, unblocked him and told him about the type IV power core he obtained.

After a while…

“What the f*ck?”

“F*ck! Gold-grade!!!”

Feng Shan’s response was better than Li Zheng’s.

“You already have a gold-grade item? Then how many snake grass needles can you sell to me!”

[The player has blocked you for 12 hours. You are unable to send private messages.]

“F*ck!”

Feng Shan instantly went crazy.

“How dare you!!”

Feng Shan was so angry that he punched his own capsule.

BOOM!

The punch was so strong that even the wall of the capsule was dented.

[Illegal modification. The capsule is damaged. Please repair it in time.]

“…”

Feng Shan looked at the system notification and consumed 100 grams of B25 manganese steel to repair it with tears in his eyes.
