"Do you mean there’s a chest at the bottom of this lake?" Lu Li looked at this lake and was surprised .

"I went down before, but the water seems to be alive . The currents are quite strong and there is a chest there that is locked . I think that’s the chest," Water Fairy explained .

"Where is the key?" Treasure Chests and Chests weren’t the same – they had keys and didn’t require a Thief to unlock .

"I couldn’t find it; I’ve looked everywhere," Water Fairy said as she shook her head .

Perhaps she hadn’t looked in the right places or something had changed, but the key was now the biggest problem .

"That’s really troublesome . We don’t have much time; they’ll reach us soon . "

Lu Li looked at the cliff, but it was too dark to see anything above it .

The players weren’t dumb . Although they couldn’t fly, it wasn’t something that they would be unable to solve . They could easily just come down with some rope like Water Fairy .

"I tried to use my Unlock skill, but the System prompted that my skill’s level was insufficient . It didn’t tell me that I couldn’t use the skill, so maybe… oh yeah, what level is your Unlock skill?" Water Fairy asked .

"Level three . "

Lu Li didn’t have to ask – this tycoon definitely would have spent all her points on damage skills .

"Wow that’s great! Go down and give it a shot . " Water Fairy was overjoyed . She was ready to jump back into the water before she gestured at Lu Li and said, "You first?"

Why do I have to go first?" Lu Li was puzzled but went in regardless .

The two of them went into the water, one after the other, and took an Underwater Breathing Potion each . Lu Li saw the whirlpools in the water and finally understood why Water Fairy had wanted him to go first .

Being at the back was the same thing, as both of their clothes were being messed up the current…

Fortunately, Lu Li had the decency to leave Water Fairy alone . He transformed into the Seal and shot deep into the water like an arrow .

Not only were Water Fairy’s clothes messed up, but her previously destroyed self-confidence was shattered once again . She had underestimated Lu Li too many times . His abilities weren’t limited to flying and transforming into a leopard – he could also transform into a seal .

He could travel by all modes – sea, land and air .

Lu Li didn’t bother with Water Fairy . An insider from his guild told him that someone had already discovered a way down the cliff .

It turned out that there really was a chest underwater . It was much bigger than the average chest too .

Lu Li opened up the sheepskin scroll and discovered that the content had changed once again .

Captain Sanders’ Treasure Chest 3: If you see the chest before you and you found the key to unlock it, which is under a big stone by the lake side, then congratulations! Your treasure hunt has come to an end . However, don’t hope for too much, as people tend to want to make sense of their struggles . I have been to many places and seen many things so I haven’t saved up much . Yet, as a captain, how could I not bury some treasure?

The Sheepskin scroll slowly turned to ash in Lu Li’s hands and drifted away in the water .

Under a big stone by the lake side?

Lu Li jogged his memory . Could it be that the thing covered in moss was a rock that could be moved?

Even so, he didn’t have an opportunity to go back now .

He could only trust Water Fairy’s guess and hope that his Unlock skill could deal with this problem .

As he used his Unlock skill on the big rusty lock, the system displayed that it was being channeled . Lu Li then breathed a sigh of relief .

The skill being channeled was a good thing, even if it was taking a long time .

"Lu Li, players have entered the water . What now?" Water Fairy sent a message over .

"How many?’ Lu Li’s voice was still calm .

"Just one . He’s a Seal just like you – probably a scout," Water Fairy anxiously reported as she dived deeper .

For a tycoon like her, no matter how valuable the Treasure Chest was, she could afford to not get it . However, now that they had come this far, the value of the treasure could no longer be calculated just in terms of gold .

In other words, she felt like she was truly playing a game .

"When he reaches the bottom of the lake, kill him, then transport back to the city," Lu Li quickly said . The reason they needed to wait until he had reached the bottom was so that they could delay the players on the surface . The channel to teleport home also needed some time .

"What about the treasure?" Water Fairy was still worried about the treasure at a time like this .

"I’ll just take it all . We’ll split it afterwards . " Lu Li saw that the channel had almost been completed and prepared his hands to pull the chain off the box .

When he opened it, he was met with a pile of gold coins . Fortunately, these gold coins could be picked up all at once . If he needed to pick up them up one a time, he would have been dead on the spot .

System: You have acquired 1256 gold .

Damn, there’s more than 100,000 dollars .

Lu Li no longer felt disappointed about the gold which made him reflect on his superficial tendencies .

System: You have acquired Administrative Order No . 257 .

Administrative Order?!

Lu Li froze for a moment before coming to a realization . Wasn’t this the item that could be used to upgrade the guild? The ones that ended in 7 were all used to upgrade the guild .

An Administrative Order 257 could immediately turn a level 1 guild into a level 26 guild .

At this time, the highest-level guilds were Glory Capital and Gangnam Royals, who were both level 28 . Blood Red War Flag and Peerless City were behind them at level 27 . There were several other level 26 guilds, one of which was Drizzle Court .

How much money was this single token worth?

There was no way to properly estimate it, but ordinarily, getting a guild to level 26 required millions, and doing it instantly made it even more worthwhile .

System: You have acquired, "Blind", "Resurrect," and "Felsteed" .

Lu Li felt a little faint; this treasure chest was giving him so much stuff . He really hoped that this wasn’t just a dream .

Lu Li had never even received the lowest treasures in his previous life . The few times he had gone to fight for the Treasure Maps, he had failed completely . He had always heard about players getting rich overnight, but he had never experienced it until now .

System: You have acquired Captain Sanders’ Belt, Captain Sanders’ Shirt and Captain Sanders’ Return Ring .

These were three pieces of Gold equipment . Lu Li didn’t have time to look into their attributes and just directly threw them into this backpack .

System: You have acquired the Advanced Healing Potion Recipe .

Although he had received one before, Lu Li was still shocked for a moment . He quickly confirmed that the chest was empty before immediately channeling his hearthstone .

At this point, it would still be worth it, even if he died . However, he was carrying so many good items that losing any one of them would give him a heart attack .

Some players arrived just in time to watch Lu Li vanish into a white light as he was teleported back to the City . Water Fairy had also started her channel at about the same time, so she also managed to slip away like Lu Li .

The coordinates then moved so quickly that it left some players in a daze .

Fortunately, now that the treasure had been collected, the coordinates would no longer update . Otherwise, countless players would continue to hunt down the player that had collected the treasure .
