Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day-Chapter 47 - 45: Death Declaration, Lin Fan Appears! _2

It’s okay, I can wait.

In the meantime, Li Zheng didn’t sit idle. He asked in the regional channel and learned that Li Chun had studied clothing blueprints before.

He asked about the quantity of materials needed, and since they were acquaintances, Li Zheng placed a direct commission with a 50% markup on total materials.

For this, he used up all sixty silk threads he had just harvested, and also took out over thirty different kinds of animal hides.

Li Chun was also straightforward. Seeing Li Zheng so generous, besides making an outfit, she even used her own materials to make Li Zheng a set of intimate clothing.

Five minutes later, the light cluster on Xiaoying dissipated, and several information prompts popped up.

[Pet Xiaoying successfully developed the genetic ability: Flying Rock Bomb.]

"Yingying?"

Xiaoying woke up, seemingly a bit curious as to why she suddenly fell asleep.

"Awake?"

Li Zheng looked at her with concern and asked, "How do you feel?"

"Ying... humph!"

Xiaoying originally wanted to respond to Li Zheng but then recalled she was still angry, so she turned her head away huffily.

With this turn, the little one realized something was off.

How come...

The angle at which she’s seeing things seemed to have gotten higher?

Getting up from the ground, Xiaoying was surprised to discover... she had grown taller again!

"Ying, yingyingying!"

Looking at her little hands, her little feet, realizing they’ve grown quite a bit, she exclaimed excitedly.

She had finally grown up!

She was no longer a burden to Li Zheng!

That’s great!

Xiaoying is super amazing today too!

Seeing her excitement, Li Zheng was also pleased, and he laughed behind Xiaoying, saying: "Our Xiaoying has always been awesome!"

"Humph!"

Xiaoying raised her head proudly.

Li Zheng added: "In the future, you’ll be even more amazing, even more than me!"

"Yingying!"

Only then was Xiaoying satisfied, turning around and magnanimously indicating that she wasn’t angry at Li Zheng anymore.

But Li Zheng must keep his promises in the future and no longer leave her behind at meals.

"Okay, okay, I promise!"

After Li Zheng swore repeatedly, Xiaoying flapped her wings, wanting to fly into his pocket, only to find to her dismay that she had grown too large to fit inside.

"Yingying!"

Her small face showed an aggrieved expression as if she was about to cry.

She looked up at Li Zheng pitifully, wanting to ask him whether she had grown too fat and if he would dislike her.

"Alright, in the future, you don’t have to squeeze into the pocket anymore, just stand on my shoulder."

Li Zheng held the now macaw-sized Xiaoying in both hands and placed her on his shoulder.

"Ying."

Xiaoying stretched out her little claw to try and grab Li Zheng’s hair to stabilize herself, but caught nothing; in the end, she had to hold onto Li Zheng’s ear and adapt to standing on the shoulder balance.

Quickly, she mastered the skills and could stand very steadily up there.

"Let’s go, let’s go test your new ability."

Li Zheng took Xiaoying out of the residence, looking for a more open space.

"First, hit a stationary target to see its power."

Looking around, Li Zheng found a decomposed Four-eyed Long-haired Spider’s carcass and placed it somewhere.

"Xiaoying, hit it with a Flying Rock Bomb."

Li Zheng pointed at the fixed carcass and commanded.

"Ying!"

Xiaoying clenched her fist and shot a yellow light ball from her mouth, containing a stone the size of a ping-pong ball, and with a whistling sound, it hit the carcass.

"Bang!"

The rock hit the remains squarely, causing juices to splatter everywhere.

Li Zheng observed and estimated that its power was slightly less than the Desert Eagle, though the Desert Eagle was a Bronze Level weapon, and one of the more powerful handguns.

That a Black Iron Level genetic ability could match its power was already quite impressive.

Moreover, the important thing was that genetic abilities could be upgraded!

Li Zheng still had a Heart Core from an armored wild boar, with attributes that matched the Flying Rock Bomb, which could gain a lot of experience.

"Very impressive!"

Li Zheng gave a thumbs up to Little Sakura, praising it endlessly.

"Ying ying!"

The little creature stood with its small paws on its hips, looking smug.

Next, Li Zheng tested the shooting range and accuracy of the Flying Rock Bomb.

He found that the range was acceptable, capable of hitting targets within eighty meters, but the power diminished beyond that.

As for accuracy...

Li Zheng glanced at Little Sakura crouching in the corner and said helplessly, "Let’s start training tomorrow, aim to hit living targets."

"Ying..."

Little Sakura looked crestfallen, its head full of black lines.

With no other options, Li Zheng had to pull Little Sakura for practice several times.

He found more than a dozen Four-eyed Long-haired Spider corpses and threw them far away.

Little Sakura had to use the Flying Rock Bomb to hit the target before the body hit the ground.

Otherwise, it would count as a failure.

However, even with all its Genetic Force exhausted, Little Sakura still couldn’t hit even once.

"Ying ying ying."

Little Sakura looked at Li Zheng, its eyes like black gems misty with tears.

With Li Zheng totally out of ideas, he could only bring the little fellow back to the Fusion Capsule Residence, coaxing it by saying it must be too tired today and to rest early to try the genetic ability again in the morning.

Finally managing to calm Little Sakura, Li Zheng had time to start crafting Black Iron Level Genetic Potions.

For all subsequent explorations today, Li Zheng chose rooms with creatures, accumulating another batch of materials.

As night fell, Li Zheng drank all the potions and finally raised both cell vitality and muscle strength to Black Iron Level++.

Although the other two attributes did not reach two++, they weren’t far off either.

"Tonight’s potions mostly have a maximum limit of three Black Iron plus. In another two days, it’s likely to be saturated."

Li Zheng stopped the production table, which still had limited energy, and lay in the fiber pile, "Gathering materials for four plus or even five plus extreme limit potions at that time might be troublesome."

"Moreover, there’s a severe energy shortage. If only the damaged Power Cores could be repaired, there are five Type III ones among them."

"Never mind, maybe I should explore some equipment rooms tomorrow and disassemble a few refrigerators."

As he thought about it, drowsiness welled up.

Li Zheng got up to close the door, ready to lie back down to rest.

...

In a room of the Matrix numbered 0000879, a metal door slowly opened, and out walked a young man with a sinister expression and fierce eyes.

Blood Qi surged around the man, sometimes forming into evil spirits and sometimes into night-demons.

"Those two lunatics from the Ye family, chasing me all day for a few pieces of trash."

"When I return in a month, all the humiliation will be repaid a hundredfold!"

Lin Fan carried a blood-red lantern, filled with malicious thoughts.

Suddenly, he looked toward the center of the room, where a Fusion Capsule Residence was deployed.

In front of the residence, a bald young girl was practicing sword techniques, her expression extremely focused, as if unaware of Lin Fan’s arrival.

"Heh."

Lin Fan revealed a cruel smile, "An unexpected surprise, the little girl looks nice, tonight I’m in luck."

Holding the lantern, Lin Fan took out his weapon from the residence.

A Silver Level folding barrel sporting shotgun.

This shotgun had a thunderous name — S686!

If you haven’t heard of its name, you must have heard its owners’ slogan:

"In front of the S686, everyone is equal!"

Lin Fan obtained the blueprint for this gun in the very first room he entered in the Matrix.

Along with the blueprint, there was the red lantern he now held.

The ability to kill more than thirty players within two days and twenty exploration opportunities was thanks to the lantern’s effect.

[Death Declaration, Silver Level

The holder can gain an additional ten exploration opportunities after nightfall.

Death: After killing a player and fusing a capsule residence, the holder can gain an extra item of the highest value tier +1.

Declaration: Whether day or night... I am everywhere! (90% chance to enter a room where other players are during exploration)

Note: This item only takes effect while held in hand.]

Relying on the lantern’s effect, Lin Fan started with tricking and trapping players, acquiring a large amount of advanced materials and crafted his weapon within half a day.

After that...

Worsened, becoming unstoppable.

"Surviving by killing monsters pales in comparison to the thrill of killing people?"

Lin Fan’s face grew increasingly evil, his gaze at the girl unabashedly naked.

"Before killing her, might as well enjoy myself."
