Chapter 31: Matryoshka
Mu's father and mother were also surprised.
The return of their lost daughter was the greatest gift they had received during this period.
Mu Zhizhi only found out about it later.
The month that my parents disappeared was because they had already started the high-dimensional game in advance.
After fighting all the way until now, they have formed a powerful guild.
The members of the guild are all former senior executives and employees of the company, and each has his or her own position.
After finding his daughter, Mu Hanquan immediately bought her an awakening crystal, and his wife Jiang Yiwen bought a complete set of high-end equipment for Mu Zhizhi.
Although her parents are powerful, Mu Zhizhi knows the importance of strength and does not want to be protected by them all the time.
That's why I thought of going to the Mercenary Guild to post a mission, and wanted to try to open a few treasure chests first to test my strength.
For this reason, she chose ordinary treasure chests in areas with low-level monsters, so she wouldn't be afraid of encountering high-level monsters.
I didn’t expect to meet Linzhi.
Seeing that Linzhi was the one to take the task, Mu Zhizhi felt relieved.
I was originally worried that the person who would take on the task might be difficult to get along with, but if it was Sister Lin, then everything would be fine.
Mu Zhizhi fell into memories.
When she was still an ordinary person, Sister Lin was the only awakened person who did not look at her with any other eyes, and even took the initiative to shake hands with her.
After the emergence of high-dimensional games, people often have the inherent concept that "the awakened are far more noble than ordinary people."
Some people who are proud of their own strength look down upon ordinary people even more, thinking that ordinary people are the parasites of this world and the lowest existence.
Little do they know that the ordinary people they look down upon the most are the ones who contribute the most to the world.
Without the hard work of the workers in water plants, power plants, farms and livestock ranches, they would not have the comfortable life they have today.
After all, even those who are awakened cannot live without food or water.
Moreover, not all the food in the [Trading Mall] is made by awakened chefs.
The vast majority of them are made by the original chefs before the apocalypse, who then hand them over to the awakened ones and put them on the [Trading Mall] for sale.
I have to say, Mu Zhizhi is very insightful.
Even though he has become an awakened person, he still maintains his original intention.
…
After listening to Mu Zhizhi's experience and looking at the equipment she was wearing, which was of no less than [Excellent] quality, even Lin Zhi couldn't help but sigh: She's really rich.
She relies on the golden finger and good luck to get equipment with good attributes, while Mu Zhizhi relies entirely on money.
It really proves the saying that "the rich rely on technology, the poor rely on mutation."
"Squeak?"
Seeing Mu Zhizhi standing there in a daze, Lin Zhi couldn't help but interrupt her.
Mu Zhizhi came back to her senses, a little embarrassed, "Sister Lin, let's go."
The place where the two met was located on a plain, with many pavilions and benches built spontaneously by people nearby for rest.
There is still a section of gravel road to reach the real mission target.
More than ten minutes later, Lin Zhi and Mu Zhizhi arrived at their destination.
A village surrounded by lush greenery and giant trees.
There are empty tree houses everywhere, and only the center is out of place.
There is an ancient well there, and next to it is a half-meter-high blue-black treasure chest, but it is firmly surrounded by huge rocks.
Linzhi’s task is to find a way to open the box.
Puzzle chests cannot be cracked by brute force, and these boulders cannot be moved.
Generally speaking, there will be a prompt nearby.
But Linzhi did not see the similar signboard that was seen in Dog Brother’s video before.
"Do I have to rely on this well?" she thought to herself.
Mu Zhizhi was looking around curiously. Seeing Lin Zhi's eyes on the ancient well, she took the initiative to step forward and looked down.
"There's water." she exclaimed.
The color looks quite clear.
Lin Zhi was searching at the other end. Upon hearing this, he turned around and said, "Look around to see if there's anything written on it."
Mu Zhizhi looked around the well and shook her head, "No."
Then she changed the subject, "But there's a bucket in the well. Is it for thirsty passersby?"
Lin Zhi stopped and asked, "Bucket?"
A flash of inspiration came to my mind.
She walked quickly to the well. "I see! So the bucket was the clue."
Mu Zhizhi didn't understand, "Why do you say the bucket is a hint?"
"Because 'dripping water wears away stone'." Lin Zhi explained with a smile.
Ancient well, huge stone, and then bucket...
"So that's how it is!" Mu Zhizhi's eyes lit up, and she was very excited. "Then let's try it."
The bucket is very big and very heavy when filled with water.
Mu Zhizhi wanted to help, but Lin Zhi declined and planned to carry the things back and forth several times by herself.
She is now level 35 and her strength has reached 465.
Even if a bucket of water weighs 100 kilograms, she can lift it easily.
Moreover, it was she who accepted the task. If she also asked her employer to do the work, it would be difficult for her to get the task reward in the end.
A few minutes later, Linzhi came to the boulder, followed closely by Mu Zhizhi.
"I don't know if there's anything wrong with the water. Stand further away and don't get splashed."
Linzhi watched Mu Zhizhi walk away before he raised the bucket and tentatively poured the water slowly onto the boulder.
She deliberately controlled the flow of water to prevent it from splashing onto her body.
As soon as the tiny stream of water touched the boulder, the boulder that could not be moved at all began to shrink at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It's like gold meeting aqua regia, or ice meeting magma.
There is no need for so much water. In just a short while, the extremely thick rocks were melted away completely.
At the same time, it also revealed the treasure chest hidden behind him.
"Wow……"
Mu Zhizhi was extremely excited.
Her first treasure chest exploration was so successful?
It’s too simple.
Although the monster distribution level around the giant tree village she chose is very low, and there are no monsters within hundreds of meters around the puzzle treasure chest.
But being able to open the treasure chest so quickly far exceeded Mu Zhizhi's expectations.
"Jinjin, help me check if there are any hidden mechanical monsters in this treasure chest."
Lin Zhi said in her heart.
She remembered Xu Hongying's previous experience very clearly.
Some mechanical monsters will pretend to be puzzle treasure chests, waiting for the player to open them before suddenly attacking.
Xu Hongying and her teammates were caught off guard and unprepared, resulting in a tragedy in which one person died and two were injured.
Speaking of which, ever since the last demon-devouring incident, Linzhi felt that Jinjin spoke less and less.
Moreover, the way he addressed her changed from host to "master".
Although he knew from the half-true and half-false last words of the Demon Devourer that she was a goddess, Jinjin was her spirit beast.
But Linzhi had no desire to know the reasons behind everything.
Not only that, the fragments of spiritual consciousness in the spiritual sea were also surprisingly quiet.
As if he agreed with her actions.
Perhaps her thoughts were a little selfish, but to be honest, she had no memory of her past life after all.
Even the slightest bit...
[Master, rest assured, after system testing, this is a real puzzle treasure chest, you can open it with confidence.]
After a few seconds, Jinjin gave his reply.
…
Outside the world, in a chaotic space.
A milky white round ball floats up and down.
"Lord God, you must grow up quickly."
He was originally a companion spirit beast, but because of the sacrifice in his previous life and the influence of the laws of nature in this world, not only was his body unable to appear, but even his voice seemed to have rejuvenated and turned into a childish sound.
He can only communicate with Linzhi as a "spiritual body".
The so-called system was also given to him by Heaven.
This allows him to interfere with some high-dimensional game consciousness and help Linzhi grow rapidly.
The reason why he was silent for such a long time was because he was digesting the energy.
Ever since Lin Zhi retrieved the fragment of his spiritual consciousness, he also gained some feedback power through the spirit beast contract.
The memory of Linzhi is very important, but now is not the best time to recover it.
The abilities bestowed upon him by Heaven are also limited. Before being completely discovered as being abnormal by the high-dimensional game consciousness, Lin Zhi must grow to a point where he can contend against a certain world.
after all.
Level 99 is not the true maximum level.
Only when one reaches level 100 can one completely surpass all world consciousness and be called a God.
Only then could she restore the world to its original state and successfully return to the divine realm.
As for the goddess... she was just an incarnation that accidentally ended up in the divine realm.
Linzhi’s true identity is the God of Creation.
…
"Squeak, you open it."
After confirming that there was no danger, Linzhi felt relieved to call Mu Zhizhi.
Mu Zhizhi had been waiting impatiently and couldn't wait any longer.
Hearing the sound, she immediately answered loudly: "I'm coming."
Then he came to the treasure chest and bent down slightly.
“Pah.”
The crisp sound of the lock was heard, and Mu Zhizhi trembled with excitement.
What will come out?
Equipment? Potions? Materials?
Linzhi was also watching curiously from the side.
"Duang~"
Soon, the dazzling light that belonged only to the treasure chest dissipated, revealing what was hidden inside -
A blue-black treasure chest.
Apart from the difference in size, it is exactly the same as the box outside, and even the texture on it is carved from the same mold.
Fortunately, the treasure chest inside was not locked, so Mu Zhizhi could open it directly.
But the next moment.
There was still a blue-black box inside.
"This..." Mu Zhizhi couldn't lift the corner of her mouth any more, "How come there's more? It's placed here with these dolls."
She refused to believe it and opened it six times in a row.
Treasure chest, treasure chest, treasure chest, and more treasure chest...
Mu Zhizhi sat down on the ground in despair, looking at the dozens of boxes of different sizes around him, and suddenly felt that the wind here was extremely dazzling.
Looking at Mu Zhizhi with tears in her eyes, Lin Zhi couldn't bear it either.
She pointed at the treasure chest, which was only the size of a fist, and asked tentatively, "How about I open one?"
Mu Zhizhi was completely withdrawn at this point. She didn't even raise her head when she heard this. "Sister Lin, please drive. I'll be sad for a while."
It is said that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
She spent so much time researching puzzle treasure chests and finally found a suitable place for her to go, but she didn't expect it to be an empty chest.
At this time, the smart and entertaining people will say: Although you didn’t get the things in the treasure chest, you played the nesting doll game.
Mu Zhizhi was unhappy.
She had no hope at all for the treasure chest in Linzhi's hand, which was the size of a baby's fist.
Although she didn't originally want anything nice, after all, she was very rich now and could buy anything she needed.
But what Mu Zhizhi wants is the joy of witnessing good things coming out of the treasure chest with her own eyes!
That is something money can't buy.
