Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day

Chapter 69: Chapter 67: Special Room: Ancient Ruins

"Matrix Terminal?"

This was the second time Li Zheng heard this term; the last time was when the novice period ended, and the system announcement mentioned it.

"Isn’t that the system that governs the entire Matrix Game?"

[In any case... Old Prel, the detection expert, couldn’t find any valuable information behind the door. If you’re determined to proceed, please be cautious.]

Prelis’ Eye gave the last piece of information and then fell silent.

"Suppression from the Matrix Terminal?"

Li Zheng looked at the metal door in front of him, which was no different from other places with nothing unusual.

"What exactly is special about this room?"

His curiosity was piqued. Having just killed a Gold Level creature, Li Zheng was full of confidence in his abilities, eagerly pulling out his Identity Card.

"Beep."

The sound of card reading echoed, and the metal door slowly opened, revealing a pure black film.

"Why did the color change?"

Seeing it clearly, Li Zheng was curious. All the doors he had entered these days had colorful curtains, and this was the first time he saw a solid color curtain.

"Let’s go in and see..."

Taking a step forward, Li Zheng felt as if he hit something soft and was bounced back.

"What’s going on?"

As he wondered, the Matrix System sent a few information prompts.

[You have discovered a special room: Ancient Ruins.]

[The Ancient Ruins are relatively dangerous. It is recommended to gather more helpers before exploring.]

[A temporary exclusive group one-way Space Jumping Device is now available. Up to four players can team up to explore. After the exploration ends, other players will return to the room they were previously in.]

[If a helper player dies midway, the above is nullified.]

[When exploration of the Ancient Ruins reaches 100%, all players participating in the exploration will receive ample rewards.]

[The decomposition function in the Ancient Ruins is limited, and nothing can be decomposed except for specific targets.]

[Except for the player who opened the Ancient Ruins, other players will not consume extra exploration times for this day by participating in this exploration.]

Accompanied by the prompt, a bubble light sphere suddenly appeared in front of Li Zheng, containing a prop identical to the ordinary Space Jumping Device.

"Is this the prop temporarily available for use?"

Li Zheng reached in and took it out to check the information.

[Exclusive Group One-Way Space Jumping Device, Diamond Level, Disposable Prop.

This prop is solely used for player: 0000879 Li Zheng to gather helper players.

Cannot be decomposed, traded, damaged, or discarded.]

"To sum it up, this thing is a four-impossible product that fully blocks players from profiting through this temporary prop."

Li Zheng disdainfully curled his lips: "As if anyone cares."

The Space Jumping Device is shaped like a metal disc with two layers. To use it, just turn it in opposing directions with both hands and then place it on the ground to wait for the door to open.

After studying it a bit, Li Zheng began to think about whom he should gather for this exploration.

"First, there’s Little Phoenix. Although he should be busy making Pocket Watches now, his combat abilities are indeed formidable, killing Silver Level effortlessly at Black Iron level, so count him in."

"The second could be Zhan Zhouzhou. After she comes over, I can temporarily lend her the Light Saber. Swordsmanship Mastery paired with an Ion Light Saber should make her combat power no less than mine, so count her in."

"The third player... maybe contact Xiao Siyuan? His mastery of medical skills may not greatly enhance combat ability, but in case anyone gets injured during exploration, he can handle it more conveniently, so count him in."

"For the fourth player, perhaps recruit from the regional channel. Not sure if Li Chun would like to come, but her Gold Level elite pet would be a big help."

Having made up his mind, Li Zheng began contacting a few people one by one.

Phoenix Mountain and Zhan Zhouzhou responded quickly. Hearing that Li Zheng had triggered a special room, they readily agreed, wanting to come and broaden their horizons while gaining experience.

Xiao Siyuan’s reply was a bit slower, but he also agreed to come.

"As for the rest... Let’s contact Li Chun first to see if she wants to come."

Instead of recruiting in the regional channel right away, Li Zheng first sent a private message to Li Chun.

"Huh? Did Brother Li Zheng trigger a special room? Um... I better not go. Although my little spider is powerful, I haven’t enhanced myself, so I might hold you back."

The little girl declined, and Li Zheng replied: "No problem, no pressure. The Matrix Terminal also warned of some danger inside. Once you’ve had more Genetic Potions in the future, I’ll find you for explorations like this."

"Okay, thank you, Brother Li Zheng!"

Since Li Chun wouldn’t come, he had no choice but to recruit teammates in the regional channel.

After thinking about it, Li Zheng began to compose a message: "Special room team exploration with rich rewards, looking for those unafraid of death! Priority given to those who can easily combat Silver Level and above creatures! [System Information Screenshot]"

Lu Li: "Whoa! An Ancient Ruins special room? There’s actually a room that can be explored in teams?"

Li Zheng: "@Lu Li, sonny, don’t say daddy never takes care of you. Want to come? The rewards are rich if you pass!"

Lu Li: "[Photo] Can’t go, I just killed a Silver Level creature and was severely injured."

In the photo, Lu Li’s thigh appeared gruesome, seemingly freshly bandaged.

Li Zheng: "No pressure, anyone else? Why’s no one chatting in the group today?"

Passerby: "Scared to death. (Manual humor)"

Passerby 1: "+1"

Passerby 2: "@Li Zheng, big shot, when can we get the Pocket Watches?"

Li Zheng: "@Passerby 2, the Pocket Watches are being made. Distribution will start tonight. Be careful during exploration before then, don’t fail."

Passerby 2: "OK, I won’t explore today, I’ll wait for the Pocket Watch."

Passerby A: "+1"

Passerby B: "[I’ll just use this and enjoy].JPG"

Passerby A: "[Poking the person’s weak spot above].JPG"

"..."

Seeing the regional channel going off-topic, Li Zheng quickly sent a message: "Is anyone else going? We’re short one person. If no one signs up, I’ll broadcast on the world channel!"

Just then, amidst the off-topic messages, someone signed up.

Yan Guang: "Count me in."

Li Zheng: "@Yan Guang, okay, I’ll open the Teleportation Gate, and you can come in."

After sending the final message, Li Zheng closed the regional channel. He then activated the Exclusive Group One-Way Space Jumping Device and placed it on the ground.

The disc’s top and bottom layers separated, with one side quickly rising, creating a light curtain with a rotating Teleportation Gate in the middle.

[Please designate players.]

[0000879 Phoenix Mountain

Zhan Zhouzhou

Xiao Siyuan

Yan Guang]

[Confirm to send invitation?]

"Yes!"

After completing his operations, Li Zheng waited for five seconds, and the first helper jumped out of the Teleportation Gate.

As soon as he came out, he started to complain: "My dear brother! Do you know how many players are in our channel?

Five hundred thirty-six!

Besides myself, I have to make five hundred thirty-five Malice Detection Pocket Watches today. I might have to work overnight to finish them all!"

Li Zheng pulled him aside to make room for anyone coming next, saying: "Stop whining about work. You’ll get your share of the benefits afterward!"

Hearing this, a shrewd look flashed in Phoenix Mountain’s eyes, and he said no more.
