Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day-Chapter 79 - 77: "The father sees the son is not dead, draws out...

Chapter 79: Chapter 77: "The father sees the son is not dead, draws out...

In the Matrix Survival Game, after various enhancements, players’ physical fitness is generally much higher than that of ordinary people, and the surgery process is not as constrained as it was on Earth.

With fewer concerns, the lead surgeon was able to proceed with the surgery swiftly.

When Li Zheng met up with the others along with Xiao Ying, Phoenix Mountain’s leg surgery had already finished. He was sitting on the ground with a splint, undergoing final recovery treatment.

Yan Guang and the others, having nothing better to do, joined him and started chatting idly.

"Did you all get the system notice?" Li Zheng raised his hand to reveal a pile of freshly decomposed materials.

Phoenix Mountain’s eyes practically sparkled as he exclaimed excitedly, "Yep! Are we splitting the loot now? Let’s get started! I can’t wait any longer!"

"What do you mean by splitting the loot?" Xiao Siyuan corrected from the side: "Items obtained by illegal means are called stolen goods, and distributing such goods is splitting the loot. Get your concepts straight."

"Exactly!" Yan Guang chimed in: "What we have here are trophies! How can dividing booty be called splitting the loot?"

"Tsk~"

Phoenix Mountain swung his now-recovered arm and smacked Xiao Siyuan on the shoulder, saying in an old-man manner, "Old Xiao, you’re just too rigid and lack a sense of humor.

Guys who don’t get humor tend to stay single, you know."

"Stay single?" Xiao Siyuan nodded calmly: "You might be right, perhaps that’s why, nearing thirty, I’ve only had twelve partners."

"..."

Phoenix Mountain was momentarily stunned before he managed a dry laugh, "Look, that remark was pretty funny."

"Funny?" Xiao Siyuan said seriously: "But I’m just stating the facts."

Upon hearing this.

Phoenix Mountain froze again before muttering, "Facts... Are you collecting stamps or something? Planning to complete the zodiac with twelve partners?"

"Collecting stamps?"

Xiao Siyuan thought for a moment, shook his head, and said: "Haven’t completed the zodiac, but I have dated the twelve zodiac signs."

"..."

"Ah hahaha ha ha ha!"

This time, Phoenix Mountain held in his reaction for longer, his not-so-young face turning visibly red, then veering towards purple.

Seeing him so flustered, Yan Guang was laughing almost uncontrollably on the side.

"Laugh, laugh, laugh, what’s so funny!" Phoenix Mountain snapped, annoyed, then turned to Li Zheng: "Bro, let’s just divide the loot already."

Yan Guang suddenly chimed in: "All I’m laughing at is the humor!"

"Yan, don’t think I won’t hit you just because you’re a woman!" Phoenix Mountain fumed, clenching his fists, almost ready to burst out and punch Yan Guang.

Zhan Zhouzhou suddenly spoke up: "If you hit her, it might count as domestic violence, you know?"

"That’s a load of crap!" Phoenix Mountain shouted, losing it, "Who the heck is family with her?!"

"Oh dear." Xiao Siyuan remarked calmly: "You’re quite something, making her laugh at you before, and now letting her scold you, you’re busy indeed."

Phoenix Mountain roared: "Old Xiao, whose side are you on?!"

"Generally, I stand with the crowd; it’s usually the winning side."

"..."

Li Zheng watched them joke around before interrupting: "Alright, if you want to chat, leave it for the region channel later. Let’s get down to business first."

This bunch, having confirmed the Ancient Ruins are fully explored and free from psychic interference, had completely let loose.

If they kept fooling around, it would be dark soon.

There’s still two exploration chances left today.

Seeing the group stop joking, Li Zheng continued: "Today is our first time gathered together to explore a ’dungeon,’ so let’s lay out the rules for distributing loot to make future collaborations smoother."

"First of all, this."

Li Zheng took out the M4 from his capsule residence and returned it to Xiao Siyuan, "I saw you were busy with surgery earlier, and didn’t want to disturb you, so here it is now, back to its owner."

"Hmm."

Xiao Siyuan nodded, taking the M4 and simply said, "Thanks."

"Secondly, I want to discuss my thoughts on distribution proportions." Li Zheng organized his thoughts before saying: "Typically, in team explorations, loot should be distributed based on contribution; the more you contribute, the more you earn. I assume there’s no disagreement here?"

"None."

"Makes sense."

"That’s how it should be."

"Hmm."

The four nodded in agreement.

Li Zheng continued: "However, I have an additional idea, and I’m not sure if you agree."

"Which is that the initiator who discovers and invites others to a ’dungeon’ should unconditionally receive an equal share proportionate to the number of people. Then, on this basis, they get extra based on contribution."

"For example, in this ’dungeon,’ since I initiated it and formed a team of five, at the end of the exploration, I should unconditionally receive one-fifth of the final earnings."

"And I’ll also participate in the contribution-based distribution of the remaining four-fifths, receiving what I’m rightfully due."

Li Zheng paused after speaking, waiting for their reactions.

The group was clearly weighing the pros and cons of Li Zheng’s proposal.

Before long, Zhan Zhouzhou spoke up: "I don’t agree with that. With your logic, whoever discovers a dungeon and invites us over could just laze around throughout, and we still have to fork over a share?

Isn’t that too good to be true?"
