Chapter 196 The Treasure Hunt Game

Edited by: minititanz

After asking the other old people for more information, Zhou Yu still couldn’t get any useful information. He became a little frustrated. Things like “luck”, he could not just depend on it. Besides, it has been so many years, no one has dug up anything remotely ancient in the village. Since the treasure was hidden so well, it was very unlikely that it would be randomly dug out by him.

Zhou Yu was trying very hard to look for clues, but his children were having a lot of fun outside.

In the beginning, Firefly and other kids were also looking for clues seriously, but after they couldn’t replace any useful clues, the impatient Firefly proposed that they should be split into three teams, and to make it more fun, the team that found the most treasures would be the winner.

Firefly has recently acquired the ability -“smell enhance”. As a bounty hunter, it naturally required her to have a sharp nose. This ability not only can scan for criminals, but it also can scan the area for any items that might be valuable.

However, after Firefly excitedly scanned around Luhua Village for half a day, she only found out an ACG item called, Endless Piggy Bank. After depositing 1000 Moe Coins, it will generate 10 Moe Coins interest every day, but the original 1000 Moe Coins can never be withdrawn.

This was a good thing for Firefly because she never had any plans for her money. Every time after she claimed a reward, she would squander it, and then after she wasted all her reward, she would try to get free drinks from her old man. If she could scrape together a few more endless piggy Banks, the daily interest would be enough for her to spend.

However, compared with the temptation of the treasure, this profit was still too small.

Little Muli’s harvest was also not bad. As soon as she appeared in the amusement park, the loyal fans quickly gathered around her with cameras and other objects like cameras. These were not extreme fans, so they knew how to restrain themselves. No one would rush towards her, so a few black-suited bodyguards were enough to keep her safe.

Hearing little Muli cutely said that she was currently playing a treasure hunt game, and the person, who found the most treasures, would be the winner, all the fans wanted to help her. Little Muli’s words were like the oracle to these die-hard fans. So immediately, they began to help little Muli to replace treasures in the amusement park.

Many hands provided a greater strength, Firefly spent half a day searching and she sweated all over the place, but she only found one treasure, but little Muli just sang a song in the amusement park, she attracted countless fans to help her, and in the end, she got two treasures.

An inconspicuous Otaku, who was wearing a pair of glasses, found a wild item ‘Perfume Flower’. Every day the flower would produce natural perfume. It was an item that was very suitable for an idol. A chubby Otaku found a Pink Bowknot, it will increase an idol glamour by 2 points.

Those two lucky people were immediately given the chance to shake hands with their idol. The two minutes long handshake made them almost pass out in happiness.

The last group was Kaka and Benben, and they also had their own tricks.

It was a skill that was similar to the Turtle Shell Divination technique, and only the top chefs would have this type of skill. First, they had to cook a dish, and then according to the change of the dish’s color and shape, they would be able to tell today’s luck, lucky direction, lucky color, and so on. Then they found a “Sky Blue Diamond” in a lake in the southeast of the park. The diamond can resist dirty magic attacks, and reflect pure light.

Since it was not an item suitable for chefs, the twin chefs gave it to little Muli. With this, she would not need to be afraid of some low-level dirty magic attacks from the extreme fans.

At the end of the day, each one of them had their own harvest, but none of them had anything to do with Zhou Miao’s treasure.

Then, Robin, the hedgehog appeared.

This mysterious Portal operator always appeared in the critical moment, just like the beacon showing the directions in the darkness, he would always be able to help Zhou Yu to solve his questions.

“My friend told me that Zhou Miao’s treasure indeed exists, but it is guarded by a powerful fairy, so you couldn’t replace it in any way. If you want the treasure, replace the fairy hidden in the amusement park first and get its approval.”

Where there is a treasure, there are monsters. This is understandable. But what surprised Zhou Yu was that there was a fairy hiding the amusement park? That’s very unbelievable. Although the amusement park is very big, with so many little people walking around every day, how could no one notice it?

However, when Robin finished, he went into the hole without explaining any further.

“The King of Thieves? Isn’t investigation used to be your job? Can you help me to replace the hidden fairy in the amusement park?”

Zhou Yu immediately thought of the King of Thieves. After all, he used to train other people on how to investigate, so it shouldn’t be hard for him. If he also couldn’t replace this wandering fairy in the park, then there was nothing he could do.

The King of Thieves nodded and said, “My Lord, I have already known of its existence. Because it is not harmful, so I didn’t do anything to do it. Now that this is a perfect opportunity to test my students, I should test how much they have learned from me.”

He was truly the King of Thieves. So cool.

Xia Huan also saw the King of Thieves, and his heart kept beating like a drum. This was that legendary man! He had already heard the news back when he was still in the Star Light City. It was said that Old Zhou has rescued him from the endless hourglass, and after the oath, he became the squire of the old Zhou, now the reputation of Luhua Village in Star Light City is very big because of that.

Looking at the King of Thieves now, after what he had been through in the endless hourglass, his mind was much more steady. If it was still in the past, when there was treasure near him, he definitely would not be able to resist the desire to steal the treasure. His aim was not even to possess the treasure, but to enjoy the process of stealing it. But now, he knew there was a treasure, he could simply ignore it, which meant that he had improved a lot.

The next day, the King of the Thieves circled the amusement park in the sky with 20 apprentice Flying Bird Knights. The King of Thieves’s bird riding skill was almost as good as Bubu’s. At the moment, he was riding a pigeon, which was named “White Swan”, and with Bubu, they formed a perfect flying team in the sky. It made all those newbie flying bird riders extremely excited.

The performance of a black pigeon and a white pigeon surprised many visitors. They all grabbed their phones to take pictures or gave applause for the performance. Those, who had seen the flying performance in the Colosseum, were much calmer, but they also had never seen such a graceful aerial dance.

Yes, it should be described as aerial dancing.

But in Zhou Yu’s eyes, it was another picture. He didn’t know what the pigeons had on their backs, but the trails they made were in red, and the streaks of red smokes formed a perfect magic formation in the air.

“Aerial detection formation – Sky Eye!”

After the King of Thieves and Bubu shouted, the red fog gradually dissipated and formed into a giant eye to scan the amusement park.

This ability was many times stronger than Firefly’s “smell enhance” ability.

And after the “Sky Eye” ability was activated, a certain corner in the amusement park also burst out a dazzling light. It seemed to be responding to the “Sky Eye” ability.

“My lord, that is where the fairy is. Let’s go to see it.”
