Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day

"Finish it quickly."

Phoenix Mountain saw the new player release a capsule lodging and go inside for some unknown tinkering. To be safe, he decided to end the battle with the giant wolf swiftly.

"Burst·Sixfold Amplification!"

"Boom!"

Phoenix Mountain left a trail of afterimages, leaping high and landing on the giant wolf’s neck, gripping its fur with one hand and raising a fist with the other.

"Burst·Fivefold Amplification!"

Thump thump thump!

A series of dull thudding sounds rang out, as Phoenix Mountain’s punches, carrying immense power, pounded the back of the giant wolf’s head.

"Aw~"

The giant wolf collapsed to the ground, heavily struck. Its brain became muddled, vision blurred, and it let out pitiful cries as if begging for mercy.

Thump thump...

Phoenix Mountain was unmoved, defiance and wildness filled his eyes.

This beast, begging for mercy now?

If he were on the weaker side, and begged it for mercy, would it let him go?

Thump!

"Aw..."

The giant wolf’s pupils dilated, letting out one last mournful cry, spitting out foul blood mixed with red and white matter smashed into pulp.

"Decompose!"

Phoenix Mountain sat on the wolf’s corpse, decisively decomposing it.

When the wolf’s corpse disappeared and he landed steadily, Phoenix Mountain looked towards where Li Zheng was and walked over step by step.

...

"This kid is so petty, just because I pissed you off a couple of days ago and you’re ready to beat me up the moment we meet?"

Li Zheng was busy next to the Genetic Potion Making Station, producing vial after vial of potion that then entered his stomach, transforming into energy, strengthening his body.

"If I didn’t have Prelis’ Eye, I might have really fallen into your hands."

"But as of now..."

Li Zheng continued his work, downing the last vial of Black Iron 5+ limit potion, closing his eyes to feel the surging power within.

"Who will beat who is really uncertain now."

He turned and headed out, Xiao Ying fanning her wings, following by his side.

Stepping out of the lodging, Phoenix Mountain just stopped a short distance away. Li Zheng greeted him with a smile: "Hello, Little Phoenix."

"Li!?"

Phoenix Mountain recognized Li Zheng’s face, immediately remembering how angry he had been a couple of days ago, smashing his capsule lodging repeatedly, which cost him a lot of materials just for repairs.

"Who are you calling Little Phoenix!?"

Phoenix Mountain’s eye twitched, anger rising as he took off the fingerless metal gloves hanging from his waist, putting them on deliberately.

"If I don’t beat you up, you damned bastard just won’t know to behave!"

"Burst·Triple Amplification!"

With the gloves on, Phoenix Mountain didn’t even give a heads-up, instantly appearing in front of Li Zheng, aiming a regular punch without the burst amplification straight at Li Zheng’s nose.

"Pretty fast, huh."

Li Zheng teased with a smile, slightly turning his head to dodge the punch.

Though his Black Iron 5+ physique wasn’t afraid of this punch, Phoenix Mountain’s gloves were metal. Even if it wouldn’t hurt him, taking a punch would still be uncomfortable.

"Such quick reflexes!"

Phoenix Mountain’s punch missed, amazed at Li Zheng’s ability to dodge despite his burst speed, and his anger grew hearing Li Zheng’s casual teasing tone.

"Bastard! Time to teach you a lesson!"

"Burst·Double Amplification!"

Using the momentum from the missed punch, Phoenix Mountain rotated and jumped, his lower body turning high in the air, knee aimed at Li Zheng’s face.

"Tsk, are you jealous that I’m better looking than you? Why do you keep aiming for my face?"

Li Zheng grinned, raising a hand and slapping towards Phoenix Mountain’s knee.

Smack!

The collision of knee and palm left Li Zheng unfazed, easily blocking the attack.

The muscle and bone strength from his Black Iron 5+ limit was evidently not something Phoenix Mountain’s meager double amplification could shake.

"Hmph!"

Phoenix Mountain snorted, twisting his waist and stomping his leg, upper arms to elbows, carrying his full weight, smashing towards Li Zheng.

"Idiot, don’t you understand the rule of not leaving the ground during a PK?"

Li Zheng saw that he was still unwilling to give up, and this elbow strike was also aimed at his handsome face, which made him grind his teeth in anger, deciding not to let the opponent vent, and directly retaliated.

Stepping half a step forward, Li Zheng used his shoulder to hit Phoenix Mountain’s waist and abdomen, instantly exerting force, like a bear leaning against a mountain, fiercely knocking Phoenix Mountain flying two or three meters away.

Thump thump.

After Phoenix Mountain landed, he stepped back two steps to steady himself. His abdomen was hit, his chest felt stuffy, and he couldn’t catch his breath, making his face flush red and white alternately.

Li Zheng didn’t chase after him, standing in place, he said: "You should be thankful we’re not really playing an online game, otherwise with your previous suicidal jump behavior, I could use five skills in a chain combo and make you unable to land for three years!"

"Heh... Cough!"

Phoenix Mountain, catching his breath, snorted coldly and said: "You should also be thankful that I just wanted to beat you up, not kill you, otherwise if I went all out, you would have died in the first round."

If it were a life-and-death duel, Phoenix Mountain would not hold back at first strike, he would definitely start with a sixfold or higher amplification, rather than an ordinary punch.

"Hmm."

Li Zheng shrugged noncommittally and said: "How many times can you use your remaining Genetic Force abilities? Twice? Or once?

With my current nerve reaction speed, dodging your full-force Burst twice shouldn’t be a problem.

When your Genetic Force is exhausted, with your small physique, wouldn’t you be at my mercy?"

"..."

Phoenix Mountain instinctively glanced at his remaining Genetic Force and found that Li Zheng was right.

After consuming it by killing the giant wolf, his Genetic Force was indeed not much left, if he used a full-force sevenfold amplification attack, he would have nothing left after two shots.

"See, I was right, wasn’t I?"

Of course, Li Zheng didn’t guess this, but directly saw the data through Prelis’ Eye, "But your ability is a bit dominant, was it developed from that Flame Flower as a Fire Element ability? Has it been upgraded?"

Since he was pretending, Li Zheng had to make it look convincing, so he intentionally asked that question.

"..."

Phoenix Mountain, rubbing his abdomen where Li Zheng had hit, hesitated for a moment before answering: "It’s a Burst Fire Element ability, these past few days I spent a fortune in the trading hall exchanging for a few Fire Element items, leveled it up a bit."

"Hmm..."

Li Zheng thought about it, went into his capsule residence and took out an item to show Phoenix Mountain.

"A Flame Plant seed?!"

Phoenix Mountain sneered dismissively, "What’s the use of that thing for you? I’ve asked a lot of people these days, turned the trading hall upside down, and still haven’t seen any tools for planting things..."

Li Zheng showed his crafting page again, which prominently displayed the crafting project for a Gold level Cultivation Dish, and the materials were all ready, could be made at any time.

At this moment, the expression on Phoenix Mountain’s face was particularly wonderful.

Three parts disdain; three parts shock; two parts jealousy; two parts regret.

The next second, his expression changed, Phoenix Mountain put on a very sycophantic smile, ran to Li Zheng’s side, and started to massage his back and shoulders, ingratiatingly saying: "Bro, you are like my real brother, earlier I was just messing with you, don’t take it to heart."

"Yeah, we’re all brothers, one family... yeah yeah, a little more to the right, haven’t you eaten? Why is your strength so weak?"

Li Zheng squinted his eyes, looking like a landlord tycoon, enjoying the attentiveness of Phoenix Mountain.

Phoenix Mountain, grinding his teeth in anger at his look, used all his strength to give him a massage but still had to flatteringly ask: "How about this? Is this strength okay?"

"Hmm, this is more like it."

"That Flame Flower..."

"Tsk, I remember someone seemed to have a schematic for a Silver Level Light Saber?"

"Here it is, here it is."

Phoenix Mountain pulled out a black metal rod from his pocket, pressed the end, and the other end extended into a blade completely made of light.

"Look, I even know that the materials are hard to come by, so I specially made it so I could give it to you as a greeting present when I run into you one day."

Pressing the button again, the blade disappeared, becoming a metal rod again, Phoenix Mountain gritted his teeth and placed it in Li Zheng’s hand, "Here, look, it’s still brand new."

Although his tone was light-hearted, Phoenix Mountain knew his heart was bleeding.

The main issue is, even the landlord’s family doesn’t have much surplus food!

These days have been about upgrading Genetic Abilities, creating Genetic Potions, and finding materials to make this Light Saber, so all properties have been spent until nothing is left.

You could say, if he hadn’t decomposed a Desert Giant Wolf just now, a mouse could tour his capsule residence and come out in tears, feeling sorry for him, and maybe even send him a few pumpkins and dates.

Li Zheng contentedly accepted the Light Saber, satisfied, he patted Phoenix Mountain on the shoulder, assuredly saying: "Since you are so sincere, I, as your big brother, can’t be too harsh on you.

Let’s do it this way, tonight I’ll plant the Flame Plant, and when it matures, I’ll send you the Flame Flower.

Two flowers!"

"Oh wow."

Phoenix Mountain acted as if flattered, bowed and lowered his head, "Then thank you, big brother."

"Ah~ Family, no need to thank, makes it seem distant!"

"It’s only right, it’s only right."

"Oh, by the way." freewёbnoνel.com

Li Zheng seemed to suddenly think of something and suddenly asked: "I noticed you collect materials faster than others, even Zhouzhou is a bit behind you, do you have some secret trick?"

Upon hearing this, Phoenix Mountain’s pupils contracted momentarily.
