Chapter 2 The first room

Danger!

Two large bold characters in red font were displayed on the goggles, and Li Zheng broke out in a cold sweat.

"This...a randomly selected room actually shows danger?!"

Li Zheng took a few steps back, farther away from the door. At the same time, he felt a little lucky in his heart.

"Fortunately, fortunately, I haven't swiped my card in front of the door, otherwise I would have to bite the bullet now."

"I didn't expect that this goggles can even detect the information in the next room. Now it can only detect the degree of danger. When I upgrade to a high level in the future, will I be able to detect the specific items in the room?"

"Props with this kind of function are considered to be at a heaven-defying level in the matrix, right?"

"Awesome, my Di Bao!"

Li Zheng gave the treasure chest a thumbs up and turned to look at the other metal doors.

Left: empty (shown in gray)

Right: Security (shown in green)

Back: Security (shown in dark blue)

Above the head: Danger (displays orange-red)

Ground: Danger (shown in red)

"Empty? Does it mean there is nothing in this room?"

Li Zheng glanced to the left and stopped paying attention, "But what does this color mean?"

There are two safe rooms, one is green and the other is dark blue.

In addition, there are two dangerous rooms, which are displayed in different colors.

"I can understand orange and red, maybe because of the different levels of danger, but safe rooms... In the games I played before, blue was better than green, but will the settings here be the same?"

Li Zheng didn't dwell too much on it. He chose the green safe room and swiped his card, "Let's explore it and you'll know, right?"

When entering this kind of game world for the first time, all settings are unknown, and you can only get the answers after personal exploration.

No one stipulates that blue is necessarily better than green. If you judge based on your past experience in playing games, you may have cerebral palsy.

"Uzi~"

A sound like a hydraulic press sounded, and the metal door slowly opened, revealing a laser-like film behind the door.

The film was not transparent, so Li Zheng had no way to observe the specific contents of the next room.

To be cautious, Li Zheng first searched for two gray-quality stones on the ground, holding one large and one small in his hands.

"Let's explore the path first."

Li Zheng came to the film and threw the small stone in his hand, which penetrated directly.

I listened for a moment, but no sound came through.

"Tch, are the sounds even blocked?"

Li Zheng curled his lips. It seemed that even if someone tried like him, they would not be able to judge whether there was danger in the room in this way.

After all, not everyone has such a treasure as a detector.

"Next..."

Li Zheng's eyes were fixed for a moment, then he stretched out his hand to penetrate the film and turned it left and right, moving freely.

"No discomfort."

Nodding, Li Zheng pulled his hand out of the film. The palm was still intact and the process was not hindered.

"It seems that as long as a person has not completely passed over, he can still look back?"

Li Zheng went to swipe the ID card reader in front of a door again, but there was no response.

At this point, Li Zheng ended all testing and came to the film, preparing for his first exploration.

Before leaving, Li Zheng looked back at the initial room again, and unexpectedly discovered that the metal door that previously displayed "red danger" now changed to "orange-red danger."

"Huh? Change of danger level?" Li Zheng was moved and put down the stone in his hand.

Sure enough, the danger level of that door changed back to "Red Danger".

"Is it because stones can also be used as weapons?" Li Zheng bent down and picked up the stone, and finally determined that this was the case.

Even though the danger level has been lowered, Li Zheng has no intention of going in and taking a look. If he doesn't enter the safe room, isn't that because he is out of his mind?

Turning around, Li Zheng held the stone tightly and walked into the luminous film.

Passing through the film was like passing through a piece of light, and his eyes were completely covered by the color of the film. Li Zheng was careful, but there was still one foot behind that didn't come in.

After opening his eyes wide and confirming that he could not clearly see the contents of the next room even after the last attempt, Li Zheng gave up completely and completely passed through the membrane.

After the person completely passed through the film, all the light in front of him disappeared instantly, revealing the appearance of the room.

Li Zheng didn't look much, and quickly turned around to go back, but bumped into the membrane that he could easily pass through before.

Immediately afterwards, a prompt appeared in front of him:

【Invalid behavior】!

"Ah."

Li Zheng didn't care. He rubbed his sore nose and said to himself with a sigh: "It's really rigorous. There are no loopholes at all."

Turning around again, a room full of technology appeared in front of me.

This room is somewhat similar to a capsule residence. The walls are all covered with metal, and some unknown instruments are embedded in them. Various indicator lights are flashing, and they seem to be still working.

The main light source comes from recessed soft lights installed on the walls, roofs and floors. The soft lights are covered with materials like plexiglass and are not transparent, so the light is very soft.

This is also the reason why Li Zheng was able to adapt quickly when he entered here from a relatively dark room.

The ground was empty and clean, and Li Zheng found that the stones he threw in in advance did not appear in this room.

"It seems to be to prevent players from distracting possible dangers in the room by making false claims?"

Li Zheng immediately thought of the role of this setting.

With this in mind, continue observing the room.

Most of the instruments in the empty room don't even have system prompts, and they are like useless furnishings in the scene.

However, there were two instruments in the middle of the room, and the system gave some prompts.

[Material storage tank is a machine that can store materials for a long time. There may be some things in it that have not been taken away. 】

[Scientific research information desk, if you are careful enough, maybe you can get something from this machine.]

The material storage tank is called a "tank", but it actually looks more like a refrigerator.

The scientific research information desk is much fresher and more refined.

It is just a metal pillar with a touch screen computer on top, which flashes an indicator light from time to time to enhance its sense of presence.

After scanning all corners of the room to make sure that the system and detectors did not give out any more information, Li Zheng walked to the "refrigerator".

After opening it, there was only a long strip-shaped object ten centimeters long, two centimeters wide, and one centimeter thick inside.

[Energy bar, "Swipe away hunger and be yourself" is just an advertising slogan, but it is not an exaggeration here. If you eat it, you can at least buy half a meal!]

"This advertising slogan... sounds so familiar!"

"boom!"

Li Zheng slammed the door of the "refrigerator" and complained: "A refrigerator with a capacity of at least 180 liters only contains such a small gadget. You are cheating!"

With a roll of his eyes, Li Zheng stared at the "refrigerator" maliciously, "I wonder if this thing can be taken away..."

I touched the surface of the "refrigerator" with my hand and said silently in my heart: Take it.

【Invalid behavior.】

"Don't allow collection? How do you want the vast number of garbage collectors to deal with themselves?"

Li Zheng smacked his mouth, no longer paying attention to the empty refrigerator, and turned to look at the "computer".

Not long after drinking the nutrient solution, the sweet and greasy taste still lingered. Li Zheng put it into the capsule without thinking of opening the energy bar to taste the saltiness.

Coming to the "computer", Li Zheng pressed it expectantly.

"Beep."

There was a soft sound, and the computer screen woke up. The light blue background was empty, not even a "This Computer" or "Recycle Bin".

"Isn't it?"

Li Zheng was stunned.

Didn’t the system prompt say something could be found?

Why isn’t there an icon!?

Are you making trouble?

Unwilling to give up, he pressed randomly on the screen, not missing every inch.

Finally, Li Zheng was disappointed to discover that there was indeed no hidden software installed on this computer.

"...So, such a big room is just for storing a Snickers bar?"

Li Zheng was disgusted.

Originally, he was dragged into this place inexplicably, and he was very unhappy to participate in some kind of survival game. Now, in the first room he entered, except for a Snickers bar, he repeatedly hit the wall, which finally brought out the little flame in Li Zheng's heart.

.

"You... you are really cheating!"

Feeling depressed, Li Zheng raised the remaining stone in his hand and threw it on the computer screen with some thoughts of venting.

Anyway, I couldn’t find what I mentioned in the properties, and I definitely can’t take the computer with me, so I’ll just smash it.

I can also vent my frustration at being caught in this crappy place.

As for whether anyone will explore this room in the future?

What does that have to do with me?

I just can't come back.

Snapped!

The fragile screen shattered in response, and the light blue desktop instantly turned into a blurry screen.

At the same time, a small object was knocked off the bottom of the computer, making a crisp sound when it landed on the ground.

"Huh? This is..."

Li Zheng's eyes widened when he saw the familiar shape of the object.

That is obviously a USB flash drive!

Quickly squatting down to pick up the USB flash drive, and looking up, Li Zheng discovered that there were two sockets under the computer. Due to the height difference, he had not noticed it before.

“So this is what the prompt says ‘careful’ means?”

Li Zheng never expected that the Matrix game, which seemed to be of such high quality, could actually play such low-level tricks.

Too lazy to continue complaining, Li Zheng looked at the USB flash drive, or "drawings" in his hand.

[Drawings of small water purifier, black iron grade, can be learned.]

[Small water purifier can convert sewage into drinkable purified water.]

[Materials required for production: parts*1, iron ingot*3, copper ingot*1]

Different from the one-time drawings of "ordinary detectors", the learnable drawings must be learned before the finished product can be produced.

Li Zheng held the USB flash drive in his hand and played with it for a long time, thinking about a problem.

"How can I learn this thing? It can't be..."

Li Zhengdan stood up and looked at the computer that had completely stopped working. Li Zhengdan felt pain, "You can't learn from this cheating computer, right?"

Holding the USB flash drive and silently saying "study" in my mind, I got the system prompt.

[Please study the drawings through the scientific research information desk.]

Gan!

It was really guessed!

"I can only give it a try..."

Li Zheng got up and tinkered with the smashed computer with great expectation, and finally came to a conclusion...

This annoying machine... is scrapped!

"Damn! Such a fragile thing is broken after just one touch? What use do you have!?"

Li Zheng was so angry that he grabbed a rock and started to throw it again...

"Wait... let's see if it can be repaired first."

Putting down the stone, Li Zheng started to try.

"repair!"

no response.

"System, fix it for me!"

Still no response...

"..."

In the next few minutes, Li Zheng tried various methods to repair the computer, but there was no response, and he finally became angry.

"Damn, what kind of broken game is this? The equipment is broken and can't be repaired?"

boom!

boom!

boom!

Anyway, it's all broken, and I can't take it with me, so why not use it to vent my frustrations.

"Huh?" Li Zheng suddenly stopped and looked at the already tattered computer.

The reason for stopping is not that the computer is beyond smashing.

Instead, a prompt suddenly jumped out in front of me.

【Do you want to dismantle the damaged scientific research information desk? 】

“Oh, there’s actually an unexpected gain!”

Li Zheng raised his eyebrows and decisively ordered the decomposition.

[Decompose the damaged scientific research data table and obtain: technology core*1, iron ingot*1, copper ingot*1, damaged power core type i*1.]

Technology core!

Not many things were decomposed, but this prop instantly caught Li Zheng's attention.

"Ordinary detector upgrades require a technology core, but I didn't expect to get it in the first room."

"good."

Li Zheng smiled with satisfaction, his eyes moved to the material storage tank aside, and the smile on his face gradually became evil.

Touching the refrigerator, Li Zheng muttered: Decompose!

【Invalid behavior.】

Li Zheng: "..."

Does this mean that it cannot be decomposed without tossing it to a damaged state?

There’s nothing to say, just roll up your sleeves and get started!

"Bang bang bang..."

There was another burst of violent bombardment, and the stone in his hand was shattered several times. When only a quarter of its original volume was left, the prompt finally popped up.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! [Do you want to decompose the damaged material storage tank? 】

"break down!"

Li Zheng shook his right arm, which was so painful from the shock, and threw away the remaining stones.

[Decompose the damaged material storage tank to obtain: iron ingot*10, copper ingot*5, parts*5, damaged temperature controller*1, damaged power core type 3*1, b25 grade manganese steel 100g.]

"There are a lot of things. It seems that the big size has its advantages."

Li Zheng took stock of his harvest and found that in just this wave, he had collected half of the upgrade materials for ordinary detectors!

"I don't know if this damaged power core can be repaired. If it can be repaired, we only need to dismantle two more refrigerators to upgrade the detector."

Everything obtained after decomposition appeared directly in the capsule residence, and Li Zheng took out a "glass bead" the size of a baby's fist.

The "glass bead" is the "Damaged Power Core Type 3" that was just removed. The dense spider web-like cracks on the surface indicate that it is in a damaged state.

After weighing it twice and putting the things into the capsule, Li Zheng looked at the five doors in this room.

"It's time to explore the next room. The green safe room has been explored. Let's go to the blue one this time."

In addition to the door when Li Zheng came, two of the other five doors in this room were displayed as "empty", namely the top of the head and the one under the feet, which saved Li Zheng a lot of trouble.

There are also two red danger rooms, one on the left and right of the door you came from.

The remaining one directly opposite is the blue safe room!

"beep"

The card reading sound sounded, and Li Zheng turned around and took another look at the indestructible wreckage on the ground, and let out a sigh of satisfaction.

"I feel comfortable."

The depressed mood of being suddenly caught here was vented during the "exercise" just now, and Li Zheng felt refreshed.

Lift your feet and step across the membrane.
