Chapter 19: Treasure Acquired? Someone's Coming to Steal It!
Lin Xuan squinted and stared at the message for a long time.
"Black Rose?"
"Uesugi Rin?"
He remembered the name; it was now third on the list.
However, someone ranked third on the leaderboard is only a manager in this guild, not the guild leader.
It seems the chairman behind them is more cunning!
Lin Xuan didn't reply; he had absolutely no interest in guilds or anything like that right now.
Soon, several more guilds extended offers to him, but he closed them all without giving a single reply.
For him now, joining a guild is completely unnecessary.
Even a bad one can easily become a burden!
Just as he was about to close all private chats, the bottom right corner of the screen flashed again.
The person who sent the message was none other than Sun Ze!
"Bro! Is that you at number one on the leaderboard? M-0007 Lin Xuan, the one with 3200 points!"
Lin Xuan's lips twitched slightly, his face filled with helplessness.
He's truly a celebrity in the gaming world now.
He tapped the screen a few times and replied casually.
"no."
"Huh? Really not? The names look exactly the same to me!"
"Duplicate name".
Lin Xuan replied simply,
"Oh... I thought it was you, big brother. You scared me."
"But this top scorer is amazing, 3200 points! The second-place player only has 300. Is this guy cheating? By the way, how many points do you have, bro?"
Lin Xuan glanced at his points and silently replied, "300!"
Soon, Sun Ze replied with a thumbs-up emoji.
"Wow, bro, you're tied for second place!"
Lin Xuan replied with a smiling emoji, then casually closed the entire chat window.
He lay in the car, his eyes slightly narrowed, lost in thought.
This self-driving technology is great; even sleeping in the car is perfectly fine.
There's just one downside: this car can't play music!
Time passed by, little by little.
[Ding! You have arrived at your destination: T74 (876, 652).]
"We've finally arrived!"
Upon hearing the notification tone from the center console, Lin Xuan suddenly opened his eyes, a faint smile playing on his lips.
He spent two whole days searching for this treasure, during which he even encountered a mid-level mutated creature, the Licker.
"I hope this treasure map won't disappoint me!"
Lin Xuan straightened up and parked the car on the side of the road.
He glanced at the three women behind him and said, "You stay in the car, I'll go down and check!"
"You're going down alone, won't that...?"
Su Nian opened her mouth, but before she could finish speaking, Su Ran quickly covered her mouth, saying, "Go quickly and come back! Be careful!"
Lin Xuan nodded, touched the Desert Eagle at his waist, then immediately opened the car door and jumped out.
He followed the map's directions and walked there.
Upon arriving at the destination, they found a treasure chest lying on the ground.
At the same time, a notification sound rang in his mind.
[Ding! Treasure map target detected: Ancient Treasure Chest (Bronze).]
[Note: This treasure chest requires a treasure map to open. You will receive a reward upon opening. Open now?]
Lin Xuan took out the treasure map from his storage space.
As soon as the blueprints were taken out, they began to emit a faint glow.
Without hesitation, he pointed the treasure map at the top of the treasure chest and pressed it down.
"Click!"
With a crisp sound, the lid of the bronze treasure chest in front of them slowly opened automatically.
[Ding! Congratulations on opening the Ancient Treasure Chest (Bronze Level)! You have received the following rewards:]
[Reward 1: Vehicle Protection Kit (Basic) x1, ps: Using this kit will upgrade your vehicle's protection level by one tier!]
[Reward 2: Basic Medical Kit x2. PS: Can treat colds, fevers, stop bleeding, and other minor ailments.]
[Reward 3: Crossbow Blueprint x1]
[Reward 4: Body Enhancement Potion (Beginner) x1, ps: Increases body stats]
"That's...that's it?"
Lin Xuan pursed his lips, looking somewhat speechless.
He had thought there would be something extremely valuable inside the treasure map.
For example, you could give him the blueprints for a Barrett mortar, or an AK-47 would also work.
But it turned out that the only weapon in the package was a bow and arrow?
What's the point of this thing? He's not Hawkeye, is he?
"Well, something's better than nothing!"
Lin Xuan shook his head and muttered a helpless complaint.
Fortunately, I still have a wireless upgrade system.
If he's lucky, he might be able to conjure up something bigger from these items.
Thinking of this, he reached out to touch the thing in front of him.
[Congratulations, host, you have obtained a vehicle protection kit (basic) x1, which can be upgraded to a vehicle protection kit (intermediate) x1. Upgrade now?]
[Congratulations, host, you have obtained two low-level medical kits. These can be upgraded to mid-level medical kits. Upgrade now?]
[Congratulations, host, you have obtained the crossbow blueprint. It can be upgraded to a repeating crossbow. Upgrade now?]
[Congratulations, host, you have obtained Body Enhancement Agent (Beginner) x1. It can be upgraded to Body Enhancement Agent (Intermediate). Upgrade now?]
"upgrade!"
Lin Xuan didn't even hesitate and immediately chose to upgrade.
Soon, a system notification sounded in my mind.
[The host has obtained a vehicle protection kit (intermediate) x1]
[The host has obtained an intermediate-level medical kit, triggering a critical hit, and has received 20 intermediate-level medical kits!]
[Congratulations, host, you have obtained a repeating crossbow!]
[Congratulations, host, you have obtained 2 Intermediate Body Enhancement Agents. A lucky critical hit has been triggered, granting you an additional Advanced Body Enhancement Agent!]
"Advanced body enhancement agent?"
Upon hearing this sound, Lin Xuan's heart skipped a beat.
The difference between low-grade and high-grade body enhancers is like night and day.
It's hard to imagine just how powerful my stats would become if I used this advanced body enhancer.
At the very least, he could probably suppress an AK with one hand without any problem!
It's just unclear whether this body enhancer is comprehensive.
"Looking back now, my trip wasn't in vain!"
Lin Xuan put away the items in front of him with satisfaction.
Just as he was about to return, a sharp arrow suddenly shot out from afar.
However, the arrow wasn't aimed at him; it was deliberately shot near his feet.
At the same time, a loud voice came from afar.
"Hey, that stuff doesn't belong to you. If you know what's good for you, hand over what's in the treasure. Maybe I'll be in a good mood and spare your life!"
Lin Xuan frowned and looked ahead.
Not far away, two men approached; one carried a military knife, while the other held a bow and arrow.
Judging from their appearance, these two people also came for this treasure.
"What? Are your names engraved on this treasure?"
Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow, a hint of indifference flashing in his eyes.
He reached for the Desert Eagle at his waist, his gaze first landing on the man with the bow and arrow.
If these two dare to try and steal anything, he's willing to shoot them dead!
"Heh heh, kid, I think you've got a death wish!"
