Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day-Chapter 717 - 509: This terminal is so lame!
"Can you stay here by yourself?"
Li Zheng glanced at the time. It had been five minutes since they entered the thundercloud region, and Phoenix Mountain and Lu Li should have already acquired the limited edition fishing equipment from those two areas.
"Are you worried someone might try to seize it later?"
Zhan Zhouzhou instantly grasped the underlying meaning in Li Zheng's words: "Don't worry. The environment here is special. Before those people find me, I should be able to restore my combat ability."
Hearing her say this, Li Zheng relaxed a bit: "Then I'll head back first. Be careful on your own."
"Alright."
After responding, Zhan Zhouzhou adjusted the angle of her hover propulsion device and flew deeper into the clouds, soon disappearing out of sight.
Li Zheng looked in that direction for a moment, pondered briefly, and flapped the wings behind him to circle around the indistinguishable dark clouds, as if lost, before finally finding the entrance here.
Upon arrival, he looked around and, through Prelis' Eye, found the direction where the fishing equipment merchant was located.
The fishing equipment merchant wasn't far from the entrance. Flying to the left took just ten seconds before Li Zheng spotted them.
This humanoid being was fully covered in armor with a technological design, with two insect antennae-like organs protruding rhythmically from the crevices of the helmet, much like breathing.
"Welcome, customer, what, do you, need." The fishing equipment merchant spoke peculiarly, pausing after every two words, with a voice possessing the unique texture of electronic devices, reminiscent of AI like Siri or Xiao Ai.
Li Zheng didn't waste time, directly pulling out a fish guard filled with fish catch: "Give me the limited edition fishing equipment you have here!"
"Five thousand, points."
The merchant raised a hand and extended a feather. Their armored hand had only three cone-shaped fingers, projecting an unusually fierce aura.
Li Zheng roughly counted the value of the fish catch and found it was sufficient, so he handed it over.
"Only, five thousand." The merchant received the fish guard, and with a raise of their hand, more than half of the catch vanished, leaving fewer than ten fish inside before returning it: "Here, is the extra, points."
Seeing this, Li Zheng was amused.
He didn't expect a merchant within the Matrix to be so principled, thinking all special merchants were as unscrupulous as Luo Aiman and Xiao.
"Thank you."
Taking the fish guard and feather, Li Zheng turned back to the entrance.
In just that short span of time, figures had appeared at the entrance of the thundercloud region. Through Prelis' Eye, Li Zheng spotted a familiar figure in a cloak.
He was a male player standing only about 1.5 meters tall, dressed in a black hooded outfit that concealed his identity, directing players to set up a cordon at the entrance.
Seeing Li Zheng approach, the hooded player respectfully came forward to greet him: "Mr. Li."
Li Zheng showed a hint of wariness: "Who are you?"
Misaka Tsuchiemon was taken aback, wondering how could Li Zheng not recognize him?
He quickly realized that, on the surface, he shouldn't be associated with Li Zheng, and immediately adjusted his attitude, becoming neither humble nor arrogant: "I thought the Starting Point Legion might not be able to hold both areas, so I took it upon myself to help Mr. Li by handling one. If Mr. Li wants to return, I'll immediately withdraw our people."
He portrayed himself as a legion trying to seize territory opportunistically, only to unexpectedly find Li Zheng still here, resulting in this direct confrontation.
"No need."
Li Zheng seemed to think for a moment before stating: "You're right. Our Starting Point Legion indeed lacks the ability to hold both areas, so we'll transfer this one to you.
If you profit from selling tickets or other means afterward, just give us thirty percent of the profits."
With just a few words, the two of them turned this into a transaction, leaving hardly anyone who could discern any flaw in their interaction.
"Then thank you, Mr. Li."
Misaka Tsuchiemon cooperatively added: "Mr. Li, rest assured, with the terminal as a notary, the thirty percent profit will automatically belong to Starting Point.
If any of the Starting Point Legion members wish to experience a different environment, feel free to come to the thundercloud region. I will personally ensure your legion members' safety.
We won't let the Lava Mountain Range incident happen again."
Their conversation left the legions that arrived later filled with regret.
Why did they hesitate?
Otherwise, they could have allied with the Starting Point Legion and potentially gained special fish catch from this event.
Some special fish catches, although not allowed to be taken out of the event, have effects that remain.
Individuals in various regions have caught rare fish that can enhance physical attributes, extend the maximum limit of Genetic Force, and elevate the tier of Genetic Ability. These catches are only usable during the event, but their effects can be taken back to the Matrix, currently the most valuable finds outside the Boss products in the fishing tournament.
Non-biological fish catches have also been reeled in.
These include, but aren't limited to: materials of various tiers, blueprints, finished equipment, devices, and semi-finished parts.
Rumor has it someone reeled in two Diamond Level armor blueprints in one go, though it's not confirmed if it's true or false.
As the thundercloud region became accessible, players needing Thunder Element equipment should flock here. Even a thirty percent share of profits is enough for the Starting Point Legion.
