Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day-Chapter 939 - 653: Defying One’s Superiors

"Is this the follower that the Pathfinder mentioned?"

Feng Yue sniffed around and detected a sour and pungent smell: "Hmm, it's the scent of love."

Follower?

Clearly it's a love interest!

Feng Yue dared not show his feelings, awkwardly coughed to the side, and reminded: "Pathfinder, where is your Storage Space? Let me deliver the Twisted Magic Crystal to the entrance first."

Li Zheng finally remembered there was a third wheel beside him, and whispered fiercely into Mirel's ear: "When we get back, I'll show you what insubordination means!"

Mirel, stimulated by his breath, shivered with excitement, her cheeks flushed, legs rubbing together impatiently: "Then let's go back quickly! I can hardly wait."

"Alright, let's go!" Li Zheng hugged Mirel and turned to say to Feng Yue: "Follow me."

Retracing their steps, Li Zheng saw Aidaxi, who was receiving a batch of residents freshly arrived from the Outer City to the Sin Domain. They were evidently experienced, passing by with laughter.

Spotting Li Zheng's group, Aidaxi didn't recognize him but nodded at them kindly.

Apart from this, the gathering area's roads showed little foot traffic.

Upon returning to the capsule dwelling's entrance, Li Zheng said, "This is it, give me all the stuff."

Feng Yue promptly handed over all the Twisted Magic Crystals stored with him, not missing a single one, back to Li Zheng: "My task is complete. If the Pathfinder has time, you can find me in the Gravity Research Institute at Block 375, I work there."

"Gravity Research Institute?" Li Zheng looked at him with surprise: "You're in the research field?"

"Only as an assistant." Feng Yue scratched the back of his head shyly: "I'm hardly a researcher, rather than doing research, it's more like being researched on."

"Being researched..." Li Zheng's expression shifted: "Your speed, could it be..."

"That's right, trained under super-gravity conditions." Feng Yue was full of pride: "I'm close to breaking the speed record left by our race, when I die, my body will be preserved as a specimen in a museum for reverence!"

"???" Li Zheng was confused: "Is that something to be proud of?"

"Of course!" Feng Yue straightened up, saying: "The Ruo Turtle Race used to be the slowest in movement in the entire Outer City. Ever since encountering the gravity amplification equipment, long-term training has allowed us to turn our lives around, joining the ranks of the fastest!

And now, the greatest goal of our Ruo Turtle Race is to become the fastest race in the entire Outer City!"

The fastest race?

Why is this sense of pride so bizarre?

Li Zheng thought: "If I remember correctly, the Outer City seems to have life forms purely composed of energy, their speed must be incredibly fast, breaking their limit must still be a long journey for the Ruo Turtle Race."

Seeing Li Zheng silent, Feng Yue thought he didn't believe him and proudly said: "The previous record left by our predecessors was enduring 49.8x gravity amplification, I am extraordinarily talented, already moving freely in 49x gravity amplification, about to challenge the record."

Full of aspiration, he said: "This time, arriving in the Sin Domain was to get enough Magic Crystals to further enhance my abilities, once I break the record, I'll enter the annals of the Ruo Turtle Race!

This perhaps is the dream of every Ruo Turtle Race member, although Li Zheng felt this dream was quite peculiar, he meant no disrespect, and encouraged: "I believe you can do it!"

Feng Yue was brimming with confidence: "I must do it!"

Li Zheng tossed all the Magic Crystals into the capsule dwelling, then bid farewell to Feng Yue, watching as he departed through the Teleportation Gate.

"Unexpectedly, outside of Block 50, there are people like him diligently striving, previously I was short-sighted, unable to notice." Li Zheng sighed, then turned and entered the capsule dwelling with Mirel, closing the door behind them.

Buzz!

An invisible wave spread out, establishing a Spiritual Barrier around the capsule dwelling, minimizing environmental influences.

After three hours, the Spiritual Barrier was finally lifted, and Li Zheng and Mirel emerged, looking refreshed.

"Let's go, we've been out for quite a while, time to return to the Outer City."

Collapsing the capsule dwelling, the two set out on their return journey.

Entering the Fourth Sin Domain has been two days, yet he only opened the lowest grade Silver Treasure Chest, obtaining a fingernail-sized Wish Stone Fragment.

Another Treasure Chest refreshed on the way back, with Sang Biao and another around, Li Zheng did not extract it, until just entering the capsule dwelling, he released it.

It was a Platinum Level Treasure Chest, containing two fingernail-sized Wish Stone Fragments. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Li Zheng was already numb, unwilling to count how many fragments he had obtained.

Anyway, he tried piecing the fragments together, finding most were incompatible.

It indicated the complete Wishing Stone was unimaginably large, surely impossible to assemble in the short term.

Back in the Outer City, Block 4 was as serene as ever, and only an Intelligent Humanoid guards the Teleportation Gate.

Glancing left, Li Zheng immediately spotted Zhan Zhouzhou sitting at the Magic Crystal Store entrance, nibbling on some seed-like snack, looking utterly bored.

The disguise suit was removed earlier when he emerged from the capsule dwelling, he led Mirel over and asked: "What's up with you this time?"
