Chapter 427: Treasure

"Come and open this suitcase . "

Lu Li had tried to open the suitcase but the system told him that he wasn’t allowed to because he didn’t possess the Treasure Map .

Sure enough, after Water Fairy fiddled with the suitcase, it opened .

A cloud of smoke poured out and enveloped Water Fairy’s hands which contained Captain Sanders’ Treasure Map .

She immediately cried out and threw the map . Lu Li subconsciously caught it as it flew towards him .

System: Lu Li has acquired Captain Sanders’ Treasure Map . Coordinates (32564, 11255, 75) .

Both Lu Li and Water Fairy stared at each other, completely speechless .

"Hey, there’s stuff in the suitcase!" Water Fairy exclaimed . She shook the suitcase and a bunch of gold coins fell out .

The gold coins were preserved well and still had a golden sheen to them .

This pile of gold coins wasn’t necessarily worth a lot, but they still hinted at the legendary treasure to come .

Lu Li picked up the pile and the system prompted him that he had acquired 134 gold coins . He gave half of these to Water Fairy . There was already a small prize for completing the first step .

"What next?" Water Fairy clenched her teeth as she looked through the World Channel where they were mostly talking about this couple working together . However, there was nothing she could do .

When a Goddess and an average man had any kind of relationship, most people would sympathize with the man .

"The words on the treasure map…" Lu Li opened the Treasure Map and found that the content had changed .

Captain Sanders’ Treasure Map 2: Well done, good friend! Now you need to move East, through the woods . However, you need to watch out for those barbaric orangutans . You will find a cliff and a rope to help you get down . At the bottom is the buried treasure, waiting to be collected…

If you can’t find the treasure, then you can only say that the treasure has avoided you .

The text was quite humorous, but Lu Li tried to follow what it had said .

Water Fairy was responsible for looking for the cliffs and the treasure below the cliffs while Lu Li was responsible for diverting the attention of the players . The two of them needed to cooperate .

The treasure map wasn’t something that could be possessed by a single player . Tens of thousands of players would be chasing and they wouldn’t give you an opportunity to stop .

If two players worked together, one could look in the correct place while the other could lead the players around as they followed their coordinates .

Lu Li soon started to feel that Water Fairy had now escaped .

Stealth was useless as his coordinates could be directly discovered . Once they found him, they would hurl countless skills at his location . No one could survive such an attack .

But would Lu Li be so easily dealt with?

"His coordinates are in this area . He hasn’t moved for a long time; why can’t we find him?" one player asked in confusion .

The System showed that hundreds of players were in this location looking for him, but Lu Li seemed to have vanished . They couldn’t find him, even after trying to flush him out with their skills .

"Could he have gone offline?" a player guessed .

"Impossible – you shouldn’t be able to log off if you are carrying the Treasure Map . At the very least, the map would be transported into a warehouse, but then the coordinates would be wrong," someone immediately objected . The people here were the first ones to have started tracking the Treasure Map and now, it had somehow completely disappeared .

"He is at (37136, 10722, 262) and we are at (37136, 10722, 81) . He’s above us!" someone finally realized .

The coordinates were generally expressed in terms of latitude, longitude and altitude . The latitude and the longitude were the same, so naturally, this meant that Lu Li was above them .

Hundreds of players looked up at the same time and saw a statue that was completely still .

They were standing in the ruins of the Gurubashi civilization . This tall statue had not fallen with the erosion over time and continued to watch over the earth .

Lu Li had transformed into the crow and was standing on the statue’s tooth, talking to Water Fairy .

"Have you found it? What? The rope isn’t long enough…?" Lu Li was confused . Jumping off the cliff wasn’t inconceivable, especially since Lu Li was already a crow and could even just fly down .

"Don’t worry – I’ve connected a few ropes and I’ve almost reached the bottom . Are you surviving?" Water Fairy panted .

Lu Li glanced at the bottom . Before he even flew to this position, he didn’t really care about how many players were chasing him .

In fact, the players below couldn’t even see him .

They all thought that he was standing on the statue’s head, where there was a small altar . No one guessed that Lu Li had transformed into the black crow .

"I’m down, but I don’t know if the treasure is here . It’s just a dead end here," Water Fairy said .

"If it’s a dead end, it might be hard to escape . They will be waiting for us on the cliff . Has your hearthstone cooldown reset?" Lu Li was already thinking about how they would escape after acquiring the treasure .

"It’s been done for a while now . Our guild has a special bonus which cuts my hearthstone cooldown in half," Water Fairy replied, immediately understanding what Lu Li meant .

After 10 minutes, Lu Li received a message from Water Fairy that it was time to leave . The treasure could only be opened by someone who had the Treasure Map .

"Hey, the coordinates have changed . Dammit, it’s moving fast!"

Unable to do anything else, someone had realized that the coordinates had changed .

"(35434, 8313, -166) . Dammit, these coordinates are just too strange . The first one was in the sky and now it’s in the ground . " Those who were looking at the coordinates were about to cry .

The crowd started to disperse, obviously no longer having any intention of snatching the Treasure Map .

Now, they had to track the Lu Li and Water Fairy couple, the game’s top two Thieves . Their initial hope of finding them had now grown even slimmer as what appeared to be a bug in the coordinates had arisen .

Of course, there were still a lot of players who didn’t want to give up until they were prompted that the treasure had already been acquired .

Lu Li came to Water Fairy’s location and flew down .

When he landed, he quickly transformed into a leopard as Water Fairy watched him, visibly stunned .

Today had been an eye-opener for her . She had never underestimated Lu Li as an opponent, but he still had many surprises up his sleeve .

When you played like Lu Li did, others could no longer just chalk it up to pure luck .

It was at this moment that Water Fairy realized Lu Li was stronger than she was . She couldn’t fly, become a leopard, or become a Horde player .

Not to mention, Lu Li had also joined the Assassins League .
