Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day-Chapter 87 - 80: Poisoning!

[Oh~my God!

This poor pale-skinned gorilla might not even realize the danger and is actually sleeping peacefully in its residence.

Maybe we can give him a little surprise?

Like putting on a pair of pointed shoes and giving his butt a good kick!]

Approaching the capsule residence, Prelis’ Eye triggered a prompt, and Li Zheng slowed down, stopping in his tracks.

"Although the capsule residence has lost its invincible trait, it is so solid that breaking it would indeed require some effort."

Li Zheng walked quietly to William’s residence, his eyes flickering.

"However..."

The Desert Eagle vanished from his hand, replaced by a capsule.

"Why break open the residence?"

A smirk appeared on Li Zheng’s lips as he pressed the capsule and threw it towards William’s residence.

"Boom!"

The capsule residence expanded abruptly, and the force of its expansion was unimaginable, even a Gold Level Three-headed Ghost Lion would be blown away.

Let alone just a capsule residence?

And it was a one-sided impact!

Boom!

A loud noise.

The residence belonging to William Houston was struck and violently flung, rolling on the ground several times before coming to a stop.

"Oh~fuck!"

Amidst the tumbling, Li Zheng seemed to hear a scream and curse from inside, followed by cries of pain.

William had thought that at night, no one would be exploring, and even if they encountered him, as long as he didn’t go out, he wouldn’t be recognized by these players from the Eastern Realm.

How did his capsule residence get overturned just as he fell asleep?

"Such powerful force, it doesn’t seem like something a player could cause."

The capsule residence completely overturned, and William, during the tumbling, was battered and bloodied, filled with terror: "Could it be a high-level monster wandering into this room at night?"

Damn it.

Such bad luck?

In the Matrix, some monsters don’t stay in one place but keep wandering around.

Especially high-level creatures, they often change territories.

Some players might find a safe room behind them when swiping a card,

and the next moment they step in, they find themselves appearing from a different door with a monster.

William had heard from a previous channel that someone encountered this before, but the monster they encountered wasn’t particularly strong and was killed instead.

How could he have thought that Li Zheng would not only explore at night but also have a 90% chance of encountering a player?

He had no idea that Li Zheng possessed Prelis’ Eye, capable of easily identifying the ownership of a capsule residence.

It’s worth mentioning that in the Matrix, players can only discern another player’s identity by comparing avatars in the chat hall.

Unlike those online games, where names are displayed overhead, along with a bunch of flashy titles.

This includes the capsule residence as well.

When players see other people’s residences, as long as the other person doesn’t show up, they can’t tell who it belongs to.

After all, everyone’s capsule residence, no matter how large the interior space or how long it has been used, looks identical from the outside.

Of course, theoretically, the capsule residence can only be freely accessed by its owner and their pets.

Other players need the owner’s consent to enter.

Otherwise, they can only stand at the door, even if that door is open, they can’t get in.

But if the door is open, attacks from others can reach inside.

"I can’t go out!"

William gritted his teeth, pulled out several thick sleeping bags, and layered them over himself: "A monster that can easily overturn a capsule residence, I might not be able to defeat it; going out would be certain death."

Hold on!

Wandering monsters shouldn’t stay in one room for too long,

once it leaves, I’ll be safe!"

Layer by layer of sleeping bags piled on, William curled up like a maggot into a corner of the capsule residence, not daring to make a sound.

"Not coming out?"

Outside, Li Zheng put away his capsule residence, listened for a while at William’s door, and besides the initial cries, there was now no sound.

"Then I’ll force you out!"

The capsule residence was thrown again.

"Boom!"

Impact.

"Boom!"

Another impact.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

...

After pelting the capsule residence over a dozen times, William still didn’t show up, and Li Zheng was starting to feel a bit helpless.

If he continued to smash it, his own capsule residence might not have enough materials to repair.

The force of impact is relative, as William’s residence gets damaged, Li Zheng’s capsule residence naturally suffers damage too.

"This guy is really tough?"

Li Zheng shook his head helplessly, after so many attacks, the other side didn’t even let out a scream, perhaps he had some way of stabilizing himself to avoid tumbling collisions inside the capsule residence.

"Is there any way to force him out?"

Li Zheng rubbed his chin, his gaze scanning across the capsule residence and catching sight of a corner.

"This is..."

It was the main door of the capsule residence, with slight deformation appearing from the continuous tumbling impacts, revealing a small gap.

"I’ve got a way!"

Li Zheng opened the trading hall, searching within.

Before long, a pile of hay stacked like a small mountain appeared at his feet.

These were carefully selected by him, and they contained a bit of moisture, once set alight, they would emit a large amount of dense smoke.

"Little Sakura, you fly away from here."

Li Zheng instructed the little creature to fly far away, while he continued to pull things from his capsule residence.

Those were thin needles like cow hair.

"I wonder if burning the Snake Grass Needle would allow its poison to blend into the smoke."

Li Zheng had never tried it before, but taking out dozens or even hundreds of them to try wasn’t a big deal.

After all, despite the consumption these past few days, he still had over five thousand left in his hand.

Just a drop in the ocean.

"I hope your physique is above Bronze Level, otherwise... if the smoke is toxic, you might be poisoned to death directly."

Li Zheng muttered softly, as a vacuum cleaner-like object appeared in his hand, covering his mouth and nose.

[Air Purifier, Bronze Level

Description: Extremely fresh, pure and natural

No matter how bad the air quality is, this purifier can provide you with fresh air after purification!

Here’s a review from the evaluative expert Old Prel: Toxic miasma? Dense smoke? Dust storms? Smog?

They’re all minor issues!

As long as you have one of these, as long as the level of toxic gas you encounter doesn’t exceed Silver Level, you don’t need to worry!

The little guy will do its utmost to guard your safety!

Go for it!

Oh~ Li~ Give~!]

It was precisely the air purifier made from the blueprint drawn from the Bronze Level treasure chest.

Over these days, Li Zheng discovered a pattern.

The blueprints drawn from treasure chests, although similar-function tools or blueprints can be found in the Matrix game.

However, if it’s from a treasure chest.

Its function is definitely much more powerful than those same-level items found in the Matrix!

Comparing a Silver Level detector with the Silver Level detection-type equipment "Malice Detection Pocket Watch", there’s no doubt that the detector produced from the treasure chest wins over... more than just a notch!

So it is with the air purifier.

In the Matrix, it’s natural to find items or devices with the same function, but Li Zheng believes there shouldn’t be anything that can compare to the purifier in his hand.

Unless the level is far above it.

After covering his mouth and nose, and confirming he wouldn’t accidentally inhale, Li Zheng rubbed his fingers, activating his genetic ability, and a small flame landed on the pile of dry grass.

At first, it was just a tiny flame.

But this kind of dry grass is inherently easy to ignite.

Within just ten seconds, the fire grew strong, igniting the entire haystack.

"This dense smoke... needs something to blow it in there."

Li Zheng started browsing through the trading hall, eventually producing a palm fan in his hand.

The next moment, Li Zheng was like an old man from the countryside tending a coal stove, frantically waving the fan with one hand, while covering his mouth and nose with the other.

The dense smoke followed the flowing air, drifting little by little through the gap in the door into William’s residence.

While fanning, Li Zheng was still puzzled: "Why doesn’t this wretch repair his place?"

...

[The capsule dwelling has been damaged, please repair it in time.]

William, huddled in layers of thick sleeping bags, looked at the series of prompts that popped up on the panel, not daring to move an inch.

The thick sleeping bags isolated the outside noise, so much so that he didn’t even hear the commotion of Li Zheng standing at the door fanning the smoke.

"I can’t repair it now, that monster might not have left yet! Repairing the residence would cause changes on its surface."

"Now that monster has already given up on the place, but if the residence repairs itself and changes its surface, it might draw its attention again!"

"If that happens, it would certainly extend its stay in this room!"

"Stall!"

"As long as I hold out through this time, I’ll be safe!"

The space inside the capsule dwelling, while described as spacious could indeed be spacious, or rather narrow.

At least for Li Zheng, it seemed like William’s dwelling was quite large.

After fanning for half a day, his arms were sore, and he had almost burned five piles of hay, yet there was still no movement inside.

"Should I spend more on props to get a fan out?"

As soon as this thought crossed his mind, Li Zheng vaguely heard two coughs from within the dwelling.

"Cough cough..."

William huddled in the sleeping bag, as dense smoke filled the entire capsule dwelling, started seeping in through the gaps in the fabric.

"Where... cough cough... where did such... dense smoke come from? Cough cough... urgh~"

His face gradually turned purple, and in the middle of his coughing, William suddenly spat out two mouthfuls of foul-smelling blood.

"This smoke... is poisonous!"

William’s temples throbbed violently, his mind spun, and a gas mask appeared in the sleeping bag.

He frantically put it on, but was horrified to find that the Black Iron Level gas mask could only block the smoke, yet the toxic gas could permeate through the mask!

"I can only repair the dwelling!"

"This smoke must be the work of that monster!"

"In that case, there’s nothing to fear about drawing its attention!"

"Repair the dwelling!"

Upon command, the capsule dwelling quickly repaired itself, soon restored to its original state.

However...

Even so, the poisonous gas that already filled the inside of the capsule dwelling, he had no way to expel.

Gradually...

His consciousness started to blur...

"Am I going to die?"

William released his grip on the sleeping bag entrance, struggling to crawl out, to open the door and fight the "monster" outside.

However, the poison had already penetrated deep into his body, and his strength was fading away bit by bit. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

"I..."

"Am unwilling!"

With wide open eyes, William Houston breathed his last.

[You have killed player William Houston.]

"???"

Li Zheng was still troubled by the fact that the other party repaired the residence, preventing the dense smoke from seeping in, and was wondering whether to shoot a hole through.

Then this prompt appeared on the system panel.

"Did he just..."

"Did he just die so easily?"

Li Zheng couldn’t quite believe it, the 58th ranked William, was just poisoned to death like that?

Didn’t even show his face, and just bit the dust?

"Too unbelievable!?"
