Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day-Chapter 692 - 500: Liu Qi Steps Down

"Major, that person from Mud Furnace who snatched the item is..."

Lieutenant Guan followed Liu Qi out of the Desert Oasis, returned to the Transfer Space to tally the manpower, and prepared to head to the Lava Mountain Range.

"What do you think?"

Liu Qi did not answer directly but responded ambiguously.

"I certainly hope it wasn't arranged by you," Lieutenant Guan said seriously. "After all, strictly speaking, Nine Heavens is our ally. If others knew that Kunlun acted behind an ally's back like this, Kunlun wouldn't be able to hold its head high in front of others in the future."

"Oh, then it wasn't me," Liu Qi said calmly, with no emotion on his face.

Lieutenant Guan scrutinized him for a while, still unsure if Liu Qi's words were true, and had to say, "Major, your current position was elected by all Kunlun warriors. As they say, water can carry a boat and also overturn it. If we feel you are no longer suitable for this position, we can replace you at any time."

"Guan Hu!"

"Yes."

"Since I hold this position, you should understand that I never act with personal interest!" Liu Qi said sternly. "Every decision I make is for Kunlun and the benefit of all Dragon Country players!"

"But your recent actions make it hard for me to believe that you have no personal interest in this!" Guan Hu said passionately. "Not to mention your connections with another country's legion, which makes it even harder for me to believe you have no conflict of interest!"

"Conflict of interest?" Liu Qi squinted his eyes. "Are you referring to the Round Table Knight Order?"

"It's good that the Major knows; why say it aloud?"

"Is this your personal opinion, or a collective concern?"

"Many in the legion have voiced discontent over your several pointless missions."

"..."

Liu Qi remained silent, looking quietly at Guan Hu and the bustling Kunlun members in the Transfer Space for a long time.

Finally, he sighed, operated a few commands on the legion interface, and said to Guan Hu, "Since you no longer trust me, someone else should take this legion leader position. I am unfit for it!"

After speaking.

Liu Qi saluted all the warriors watching him and solemnly said, "From this moment on, I, Liu Qi, resign as the leader of the Kunlun Legion! From now on, I will return to the grassroots level, just like you, a warrior, no longer a commander! Thank you all for your cooperation in my work over the past month!"

With that, he marched into the crowd.

No one applauded, no one cheered.

Similarly, no one voiced opposition.

"The former legion leader Liu Qi has resigned, and a new leader will be elected after this event concludes. In the meantime, I will serve as acting leader!" Guan Hu announced loudly to all Kunlun members. "Now, on my command, those not frozen, step forward!"

At the command, some stepped forward without hesitation, some hesitated, unsure of what to do, while some remained still, their eyes on Liu Qi.

As a central figure in this event, Liu Qi's expression remained calm as he firmly took a step forward.

He, too, was not frozen.

This step seemed like a signal, prompting those who had not stepped forward to also take a step.

After this step, Liu Qi officially stepped down from his position as the leader of the Kunlun Legion.

Guan Hu glanced at him, pursed his lips, and pointed to the Teleportation Gate leading to the Lava Mountain Range, shouting, "Collectively, move to the Lava Mountain Range and reclaim the ownership there! The targets are the players wearing Bronze Masks and anyone taking advantage of the chaos!"

"Yes!"

Upon receiving the order, Liu Qi was the first to turn around and jog towards the Teleportation Gate.

...

"What's the situation?"

Li Zheng sat in the Transfer Space, inquiring about the situation in the legion channel.

He could confirm one point: Li Chun was currently safe, at least she wasn't in the Transfer Space.

Zhan Zhouzhou quickly replied, "Everything's fine now. I've already found Li Chun and successfully regrouped. Unless those attackers bring out real skills, they are nothing but a bunch of rabble, mere training posts in my eyes. Their demise speed depends on the speed of my sword."

Li Chun also finally chimed in the legion channel, "Brother Li Zheng, I'm okay! Thanks to Brother Lele sending over a hundred people to protect me, I held on until Sister Zhan arrived. Sister Zhan is amazing, just like a Sword Immortal from a fantasy novel, one swing of the sword and it's all sword light, explosions everywhere!"

The more than one hundred people Liu Jiale dispatched to the Lava Mountain Range were quite unfortunate.

Most of them, due to various reasons (mostly fear of the pain of dying), dared not participate in the boss battle and volunteered for the protection mission out of embarrassment.

They assumed that as a member of the Matrix First Legion, Li Chun wouldn't really be in danger, despite Liu Jiale's concerns.

No one expected such an incident so soon after they arrived.

Fortunately, most had a good sense of duty. Realizing Li Chun was in danger, even the most frightened gritted their teeth and protected the little girl.

When Zhan Zhouzhou arrived on the scene, only a dozen or so players with flying abilities and exceptional speed still survived, protecting Li Chun and a small spider as they fled.

But now the attackers posed no real threat in the eyes of Zhan Zhouzhou, a top-level expert.

Zhan Zhouzhou spared a moment to correct, "It's electric light, not sword light."

Li Chun said nonchalantly, "All the same! It's just cool looking!"

The two even found time to chat in the legion channel, showing that the situation posed little pressure for Zhan Zhouzhou.

This might be a probing attack from the other side, or perhaps a small legion's spur-of-the-moment decision, simply taking advantage of the weakened defenses of Kunlun and Nine Heavens at that moment?

Li Zheng looked at the string of names popping up, all characteristic of Mud Furnace and Stealing Country, feeling a smoldering anger that was hard to keep down.

He really couldn't understand why every time something unpleasant happened, people from these two countries would rush to the front?

Still too soft!

After the event is over, there needs to be an opportunity to completely scare the people of these two countries!

Hmm?

Jiang Bingyao?

Li Zheng watched a somewhat familiar name flash before him, raising an eyebrow slightly: "This person... seems to be from the N Room?"

The N Room had a fallout with Creation because of the Banquan Longma incident.

So is the impact on the Lava Mountain Range a collaboration between the N Room and High Celestial Plain this time?

Lava Mountain Range.

Zhan Zhouzhou was somewhat surprised to look at the player not far away who survived a round under her hand without dying; this was the first strong person she had encountered since coming to the Lava Mountain Range.

"You are very good."

A broken Chinese came out from beneath the Bronze Mask, amusing Zhan Zhouzhou.

At a time like this, still trying to confuse people in such a way?

Who did they learn this from?

How despicable!

Zhouzhou the Heroine said with a sneer: "Jiang Bingyao, right? You are also quite good, able to survive a round under my sword, no wonder you dare to act against our Starting Point people."

With Prel's Eye in hand, all disguises and shields are just a joke.

This directly belongs to dimensional reduction strike!

"We shouldn't have met before, right?" Jiang Bingyao decided to stop using broken Chinese and asked directly in their native language: "How did you recognize me?"

"You guess?" Zhan Zhouzhou playfully blinked, but there wasn't a trace of a smile on her lips, her face cold and somewhat eerie.

"Hah, putting on airs!"

Jiang Bingyao couldn't be bothered to explain much; in the Matrix, there were numerous tools with different functions, there might as well be something that could see through a player's identity, it's nothing surprising.

What he cared more about was Zhan Zhouzhou's impressive skills!

"Our Fierce Tiger Boxing Dojo's fist technique is jokingly called the woman-beating fist technique, today meeting you, I want to verify that with those people."

Jiang Bingyao took off the Bronze Mask, casually tossed it aside, and provocatively said: "Our Fierce Tiger Fist Technique can indeed beat a woman!"

"Heh~" Zhan Zhouzhou gave a cold laugh: "Maybe from today, your Wild Cat Fist won't even be able to beat a woman anymore?"

"Let's prove it by hand then!"

Jiang Bingyao's face turned cold, he raised his fists and charged, beginning with his best and most accustomed technique 'Strong Hand Skull Splitter'!

This move involved both hands striking out at once, seizing the opponent's head, and with terrifying strength, turning his hands into iron clamps to brutally crush the opponent's skull.

"Hmph..." Zhan Zhouzhou shifted her footwork, her form instantly transitioning to two different positions, easily dodging the move, letting out a disdainful sniff: "You've degraded Double Wind Piercing Ears this much?"

Double Wind Piercing Ears is a traditional martial arts technique characterized by striking the opponent's temples or surrounding ear acupoints with both hands, causing dizziness or disrupting balance, making it hard for the opponent to control their body.

The name comes from the action looking like two palms fanning into the opponent's ears.

However, it was learned on the surface by people from the Stealing Country and altered into the so-called "Strong Hand Skull Splitter," a simple hand strength attack aimed at the opponent's head.

This move, before entering the Matrix, might at most cause a concussion.

But within the Matrix, with physical attributes being enhanced to a certain degree, it might actually achieve the "skull splitting" effect.

Unfortunately, no matter how fierce the technique is, if it can't hit, it's all in vain. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Zhan Zhouzhou's body technique was agile, her speed incredible, Jiang Bingyao couldn't even touch a corner of her garment, let alone "split a skull."

Listening to the mocking words, Jiang Bingyao's face turned beet red, gritting his teeth, he shouted angrily: "Earthquake Slowdown!"

As he stomped the ground fiercely, a small earthquake occurred around the two, temporarily slowing Zhan Zhouzhou's evasive speed.

"Got you now!"

Jiang Bingyao revealed a grim smile, his right arm bulging up, muscles densely layered turning into a single beefy arm.

"Charging Intent!"

Locking onto Zhan Zhouzhou's direction, Jiang Bingyao seized the moment of her imbalance from the sudden ground tremor, festering power.

"Punching!"

With ferocious force following his punch, a violent surge exploded!

"Oh no!"

Zhan Zhouzhou's expression changed, then suddenly sneered: "Fooled you!"

In the next second, lightning flashed!

A giant sword descended from the sky.
