Chapter 242 The Treasure Map: They Also Want to Participate
"Where in the world are real zombies? When they came to the capital ten years ago, they brought an ancient corpse that looked like a mummy, but you couldn't even see its face."
"When the Western Jiang people arrive, will the Long family also take the opportunity to hold an auction? The Western Jiang have many rare treasures, and every time they come to the capital, the major powers will set up an auction."
Two girls were having a lively conversation in the next cubicle.
Mu Zhen and Xiao Jukeng stared at each other, wide-eyed.
The Western Jiang tribe arrived so quickly?
As they exited the restroom, they encountered Huangfu Zique, Mu Yunfei, and Long Yuan at the entrance.
Huangfu Zique reached out to greet them, but the woman walked past them, looking preoccupied.
What's going on? They were waiting for her here specifically.
The Western Jiang Clan will be coming to the capital at the end of the year, apparently to celebrate Dragon Father's birthday. This suggests that the Dragon family and the Western Jiang Clan have a historical connection.
The text doesn't elaborate much on this group of people; even the mention of the treasure map being put up for auction is only mentioned as originating from a mysterious person.
The treasure map failed to sell at auction on my first playthrough and hasn't appeared since.
In the second playthrough, the pink rabbit realizes the treasure map is extraordinary and the female protagonist wins it at the starting price.
Later, the female lead used it to make a fortune.
It was the dowry of the wife of a great general of the once-powerful Tianyuan Dynasty more than a thousand years ago.
The general's wife did not have a happy life at that time. People in ancient times had a deep prejudice against merchants. The general would marry a merchant's daughter for her generous dowry.
However, the general's wife was a woman of strong character; even after the divorce, she did not agree to her husband taking a concubine, and she did not return to her parents' home after the divorce.
Because there was no one left from her maternal family.
Instead, her entire dowry disappeared without a trace. Even the emperor himself secretly sent people to search for the dowry on several occasions.
One can imagine just how lavish these dowries were.
The text only mentions that the female protagonist once went away for a month, found the dowry, and upon her return, her net worth skyrocketed.
There's no rule in this world that cultural relics must be handed over; whoever finds them owns them, and they can be bought and sold freely.
The female lead's net worth was already quite high, and it has skyrocketed again under these circumstances. How many treasures must she possess?
I thought I'd have to wait until the Long family's birthday banquet at the end of the year to have another showdown with the female lead.
I didn't expect the Western Jiang tribe to arrive so early. The Western Jiang people only come to the capital once every ten years, so they won't come again at the end of the year.
The treasure map is definitely going to appear at this wedding banquet, ugh! But I'm not prepared at all for how to snatch it from the bride!
Huangfu Zique's heart was burning with excitement, and he secretly exchanged glances with his two other friends.
Mu Yunfei coughed up blood, feeling annoyed for the first time that his friends could hear his thoughts. Why did he have to let outsiders know about such a good thing?
Isn't it better to make money secretly within your own family?
Long Yuan, who had never been particularly interested in material possessions, began to covet them, unlike the piece of land that Mu Yunya had seized in the capital.
There are only a little over 10 billion in total, and no one is willing to risk offending Mu Yunya for such a small amount.
This time!
Even the emperor at the time coveted this treasure, which Mu Yunya could not possibly handle alone. Without their intervention, Mu Yunya would not have been able to get past Bai Luoluo.
Besides, the Xijiang tribe isn't stupid. If they could find the treasure's location using the treasure map, why would they give it up?
Bai Luoluo might be able to find the treasure, but Mu Yunya might not. If they discuss it together, their chances of success will be much greater.
Regardless, they were determined to get their hands on this treasure map.
"Let's take it first. Mu Yunya will definitely come to us on her own initiative. Then we can let her join us, and we can divide the spoils equally among everyone," Huangfu Zique suggested.
Mu Yunfei nodded: "Okay!"
Long Yuan didn't care; as long as he got a share, that was enough.
Huangfu Zique stroked his chin, his face full of longing. However, what he longed for was not the treasure itself, but the process of finding it—just thinking about it was thrilling.
"Don't be too happy yet. The fact that the Western Jiang Clan hasn't found it after so long means that the map is likely from a thousand years ago. Maps from a thousand years ago are not exactly the same as those now," Long Yuan poured cold water on their hopes.
"That's even more fun, isn't it?" Huangfu Zique said nonchalantly, enjoying the sense of accomplishment that comes with high difficulty!
Unbeknownst to them, Little Giant Pit was floating among the three of them, eavesdropping, sometimes nodding, sometimes shaking its head, and sometimes muttering its own opinions based on its treasure-hunting experience.
If the pink rabbit can guide Bai Luoluo to the right place, there's no reason why she can't.
Since the host just happened to be planning a trip for the Tengfei Club members during the summer vacation, why don't they all go treasure hunting?
Everyone who sees it will get a share!
Compared to going treasure hunting in secret realms with her host in the spirit world, she prefers this ordinary world, at least she doesn't have to worry about her host being killed and robbed all the time.
By the way... to give the host some experience.
She has made a decision to take her host to explore 'that' place. Now that things have progressed this far, she has also realized that even if the host can defeat the female lead with normal strength in the future, it still can't beat the pink rabbit.
It might never be able to beat the pink rabbit if it uses other abilities, but if it can't beat it, it can at least restrain it!
If that relic can subdue the pink rabbit, then she'll get something that can subdue that relic.
You can't find that kind of treasure in the mortal world. Mortals all think that the monk passed away and ascended to Buddhahood. But pshaw, how could a mortal directly ascend to the immortal realm or the divine realm?
He merely touched upon a trace of cultivation methods and ascended to a slightly higher world.
The relic in the Pink Rabbit System Space carries a certain power of rules. Its owner, in his lifetime, comprehended something and was considered a peerless genius with a deep affinity for Buddhism.
To restrain it, the only option is to find a relic of a higher grade. Forget about it in the mortal realm; it can only be found in 'that' place.
What worries me is that a high-level female cultivator I once guided all died there. Can a mere mortal like myself come back alive?
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Huangfu Zique's eager face. So excited about the treasure hunt?
If that's the case, and the host can't manage alone, then...
What about the male leads? The luck of someone whose soul can travel through ten worlds with Bai Luoluo is self-evident.
I scratch my head, but what if they all die? What a tragedy!
She wasn't worried at all about the male leads disagreeing; as the saying goes, great opportunities often coexist with great danger.
That place has many extraordinary treasures.
Put yourself to death and survive!
It seems to be the only way out for her and her host right now.
During the third period, Mu Zhen indeed saw Di Tianhuang, but unfortunately, the guy didn't look around once after entering the classroom; his attention was entirely on his studies and official duties.
They don't give people any chance to communicate at all.
We only managed to sneak away on our way to the restaurant at noon.
"Brother Huang, can I talk to you about something?"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Tianhuang slowed his pace and fell to the very end with the woman.
Sun Beilei, unwilling to go any further, tugged at Bai Luoluo: "That bitch wasn't satisfied with seducing the God of War, now she's even after His Highness the Crown Prince. Come on, I want to hear what she has to say to His Highness."
Bai Luoluo grabbed her arm and forced her forward: "Ignore them!"
"Oh, Luo Luo, are you really not going to stop her?" Sun Beilei didn't know whether to say that Bai Luo Luo was overconfident or too arrogant.
