Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day-Chapter 91 - 84: Hover Propulsion Device, Li Zheng Takes to the Sky!

Chapter 91: Chapter 84: Hover Propulsion Device, Li Zheng Takes to the Sky!

Li Zheng listed each pocket watch for designated trade one by one, totaling more than five hundred, which took him over half an hour.

During this half-hour, he experienced the agony of system notifications flooding the screen again.

"This damn Matrix System terminal can’t provide a minimize function on the panel? Or just allow me to ignore system notifications!

These idiots, instead of exploring with the pocket watches, why do they keep tagging me in the regional channel?"

Li Zheng’s forehead veins bulged as he opened the regional channel to take a look.

Goodness, a long stream of messages from players who received the pocket watches thanking him, over five hundred messages!

Every single one tagged him once!

This spectacular scene left the split-off players completely confused, wondering why these people were thanking a player ranked fifth for no reason.

Then someone voiced a query, trying to figure out what was going on.

The players who received the pocket watches weren’t shy.

Li Zheng, the boss, had such an OP watch and didn’t keep it to himself; he remembered the brothers in the same channel and might have spent all night just to craft so many watches.

He probably stayed up all night so that the brothers could start exploring with a watch in hand, adding an extra layer of safety.

On Earth, staying up a night might not be a big deal.

But in The Matrix Survival Game, daytime exploration often involves battles at any moment!

In this case, which player wouldn’t want to be well-rested before exploring?

Li Zheng, for the sake of his brothers’ safety, stayed up late to make watches and would definitely need to rest for a while.

As a result, today’s exploration progress will probably fall behind, and he might not even complete ten exploration opportunities before nightfall, having to explore in the dark.

Isn’t this selflessness worth praising?

Isn’t this noble and selfless virtue worth lauding?

So... the players who received the pocket watches explained to those questioning players on the regional channel.

Someone even posted screenshots showing some of the pocket watch’s attributes.

Immediately...

Those split-off players couldn’t hold back.

What is this pocket watch?

It’s equivalent to half a life!

Used once in each room, it means ensuring at least one-fifth safety during exploration!

Who wouldn’t want such a thing?

After that, Li Zheng faced another round of tags, but he had already opened the chat lobby, thus avoiding another round of notification bombardment.

New players who were a day late in getting the watches mobilized collectively. Organized and methodical, after tagging Li Zheng, they asked: "Li Zheng boss, any more pocket watches? We’ll pay any price for one!"

Among them, Ye Yuan, one of the Ye siblings, was the most active, messaging at such a speed that one might suspect she was cheating.

In the time it took others to send one message, she could send five or even six...

Li Zheng was almost annoyed to the point of cursing when he had a clever idea and began to redirect the problem.

Li Zheng: "None left, just one for myself. And I didn’t make the watches; I was only responsible for gathering materials.

The one with the actual blueprint is Phoenix Mountain. If you want one, you should go ask him."

As soon as he said this, most of the players immediately shifted their focus, beginning to tag bomb Phoenix Mountain.

Unfortunately, Phoenix Mountain was asleep and didn’t witness the scene.

Otherwise...

However, a small number of people privately messaged Li Zheng, but because Li Zheng had enabled the "refuse messages from strangers" feature, all of them failed to send.

Then, these people started searching through the trade hall...

After a while, Li Zheng suddenly began receiving a large influx of materials, and the private messages began to increase.

"???"

Li Zheng was momentarily stunned, and upon realizing, he checked the trade hall to find the ordinary clothes he put up yesterday and couldn’t sell were now being bought one by one.

In just this short time, the quantity halved, and Li Zheng had gained at least a hundred Black Iron Level basic materials.

With trading, the system considers them "acquaintances," and these people found a workaround to bypass Li Zheng’s private chat shield...

This was something Li Zheng had thought of before but didn’t pay attention to. After all, who would buy someone else’s "junk" just to send a few private messages they didn’t need?

"Why don’t they listen?"

Li Zheng sucked on his teeth, initially intending to ignore them.

But on second thought, won’t these newly split players be his workers to collect Genetic Potion materials in the future?

"Sigh... Had I known this would happen today, I shouldn’t have gotten them a pocket watch yesterday!"

Patiently, Li Zheng processed each message, telling them he was telling the truth.

Most, after getting reconfirmation in private chat, started trying to reach Phoenix Mountain.

Only a few still thought Li Zheng was lying; who knows what’s wrong with their brains.

This made Li Zheng so angry that he directly added these people to his blacklist.

"Would I, Li Zheng, need to lie to you about such things?"

At this point, Li Zheng suddenly felt the world was quiet, the air was fresh, and even his mood seemed to brighten.

"Oh, right, the Hover Propulsion Device is done, let’s take a look."

This item had long since been completed; Phoenix Mountain’s interruption caused Li Zheng to delay for more than an hour before taking it out.

"Bang."

With a soft sound, the Hover Propulsion Device dropped to the ground in front of Li Zheng.

"This design..."

Li Zheng gave it a couple of glances, feeling it looked more and more familiar.

"Isn’t this the jet backpack invented by that rich boss in ’Mermaid’?"

The Hover Propulsion Device did look a lot like the JB-10 jetpack that’s already appeared on Earth.

However, the difference lies in the fact that the Hover Propulsion Device is much simpler than the JB-10, with just two jet cylinders.

The overall silver-white design has very sleek lines, just looking at it gives off a strong sense of technology.

An additional difference: the Hover Propulsion Device doesn’t have a control stick or even a back harness for securing the body, only deep grooves on the side of the body.

"Is this thing... reliable?"

Recalling the awkward scene from the movie where the character first used a jetpack, Li Zheng bent down to pick up the Hover Propulsion Device.

It felt incredibly lightweight, almost as if it had no weight.

"The usage is to fit the groove against the back, then..."

Li Zheng, following the instructions, tried it out; once the Hover Propulsion Device touched his back, two panels abruptly extended to pass under his arms and fasten together in front, perfectly supporting him.

"Huh..."

After moving his shoulders a bit, Li Zheng realized the deep grooves were actually space for arm movement, accommodating the scapula.

"Let’s test the effect."

Li Zheng, carrying the Hover Propulsion Device, walked outside his accommodation.

He glanced at where Lu Li had camped last night; it was empty, he was gone without a trace.

"With the pocket watch in hand, his safety should be much improved."

Li Zheng muttered, and with a thought, the Hover Propulsion Device on his back emitted two powerful jets of gas.

"Hiss!"

The continuous stream of gas easily lifted Li Zheng to a height of two meters.

Controlling the output, Li Zheng tried adjusting his direction.

Once he was fairly acquainted, he proceeded to test forward and backward movements.

Soon, he was able to fly freely in mid-air.

Moreover, thanks to the Genetic Potion that enhanced his body’s qualities to Bronze++, Li Zheng’s control over his body greatly improved.

As long as he’s familiar with the operation, there’s no fear of significant mistakes.

"Woo woo?"

Little Sakura flapped her tiny wings, quickly flying to Li Zheng’s front, curiously watching him.

It seemed curious about how Li Zheng suddenly managed to fly.

"Haha."

Li Zheng laughed heartily, asking Little Sakura: "Little Sakura, want to have a race?"

"Woo?" Little Sakura tilted its head.

The next second, it suddenly changed direction, flying away with a "woo woo woo."

"Whoa, you sneaky racer!"

Li Zheng shouted, adjusted his direction, and chased after Little Sakura.
