Settling the Previous Day and Beginning a New One
At six o'clock in the morning, the vanished Heavenly Dao White-Robed Great Guanyin reappeared in the center of the city.
All the Tenshukaku quickly reverted to single-story buildings, and the widened main street returned to its original state. All the demons wandering the streets retreated.
At this moment, Gu Xi also saw a message pop up in front of him.
A new day begins; let's now settle yesterday's information:
Bailian City: 319 players, 49 died or quit, ranked 1st on the Leaderboard.
Cold Leaf City: 320 players, 117 died or quit, ranked 203rd on the Leaderboard.
Autumn Wind City: 320 players, 102 died or quit, ranked 218th on the Leaderboard.
Below this message is today's updated Leaderboard.
The player in first place on the Leaderboard is a player from Autumn Wind City named An Hongyun, who also seems to have a nickname, "The Back Spirit," with 16 points. He is not far behind the players behind him.
You Song Sheng from Bailian City is the only Bailian City player on the Leaderboard, but with only 6 points, he is ranked below 300th.
It seems he's a clear-headed guy, knowing that players from Bailian City are currently killing players from Cold Leaf City and Autumn Wind City.
He just needs to stay on the Leaderboard.
However, someone like him probably won't live past the third day.
For players in Bailian City, traitors deserve to die more than enemies.
After Gu Xi finished reading the message, Wudou Meina also came up from downstairs.
"Dinner is ready."
Gu Xi smiled at Wudou Meina, tidied himself up, and then went downstairs to prepare to eat.
However, when he saw the food on the table, Gu Xi couldn't help but shake his head.
Others might be eating a diet meal, but what's in front of me looks like bird food.
Is that all?
Gu Xi looked at the small dish with only three pieces of dried radish, a piece of seaweed, and a small dish of soup with even less sauce, and asked with some confusion.
"Ah, isn't this what breakfast is all about? I make it really well."
After glancing at Wudou Meina's earnest eyes and then at the food, Gu Xi chose to believe her.
He picked up his chopsticks and began to eat in small bites.
Wudou Meina watched from the side, her rosy cheeks beaming with happiness.
"How is it? Is it delicious?"
Looking at Wudou Meina's expression, what could Gu Xi say? Could he say that he only had a fleeting taste of something and felt nothing else?
Gu Xi quickly changed the subject. He planned to find something to eat outside later, or go back to Aryadovi City if necessary. He didn't want to eat this kind of bird food again.
"By the way, I'm going to the city later. Take a look at these addresses, see where they are, and how to get there."
Hearing Gu Xi get down to business, Wudou Meina stopped watching Gu Xi eat and took the address Gu Xi wrote down, looking at it carefully.
However, many addresses here are quite far from Wudou Meina has never been to. She could only look through the phone book, compare the map and Bus Stop, and finally plan a travel route for Gu Xi.
After drawing the route, Wudou Meina asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Gu-san, what are you going to these places for?"
"I just wanted to go for a walk. You know what a popular tourist spot is, right? It's a place where people come to take photos."
Wudou Meina didn't believe Gu Xi's explanation at all.
Which city's KFC is the top-ranked Instagrammable spot?
That's simply impossible.
But Wudou Meina knew very well that it was best not to meddle in men's affairs.
So she only helped Gu Xi draw the route, and didn't do anything else.
As for the strange occurrences in other areas, Gu Xi didn't intend to ask Wudou Meina.
Some of the strange occurrences that move throughout the city are relatively easy to understand; Wudou Meina might have heard of them. However, those strange occurrences that have their own territory are unknown to Wudou Meina even if they are outside this area.
Therefore, Gu Xi's goal today is to find the treasure.
As for killing the strange creatures, that depends on luck while searching for the treasure.
After finishing breakfast, Gu Xi picked up his things and said to Wudou Meina, "I'll be back before dinner."
"Okay, I'll prepare your bathwater and dinner."
Gu Xi smiled and walked out of the guesthouse.
At this moment, Gu Xi was still carrying his Briefcase, looking like an office worker. However, he was not heading towards the station; Gu Xi was going to the nearest treasure location.
That's also the only treasure location in this area.
After leaving the house, Gu Xi did not walk, but instead summoned his mount, the Evil Coffin, on a whim.
Just as Gu Xi had guessed, the Evil Coffin was also affected, transforming into a mount associated with Gu Xi —a bicycle.
However, the [Flame Footprints] that Gu Xi had placed on the Evil Coffin seemed to have a negative effect; as Gu Xi rode his bicycle forward, sparks kept flashing from the chain.
This is exactly what people are saying: riding a bicycle so hard that the chain on your foot caught fire.
With a bicycle, it's much more convenient for Gu Xi to go anywhere.
After all, the speed at which the Evil Coffin moves is faster than that of a high-speed train.
In addition, Gu Xi had already handed over the map drawn by Wudou Meina to Evil Coffin. He only needed to make a show of riding a bicycle. The rest of the time, Evil Coffin carried Gu Xi in the air.
Before long, Gu Xi arrived at the first location recorded in the information.
It's an old shop that looks like it's over a hundred years old, but this old shop has some really creative ideas.
There was a sign that read "Automatic Ramen Vending Machine" at the entrance of the store.
After Gu Xi approached, he found that he couldn't quite understand the vending machine. The machine's casing was made of sheet metal, and upon closer inspection, it seemed as if it wasn't powered on.
Could this be some kind of strange operation? And Gu Xi's target this time was this automatic ramen vending machine.
Because this treasure's name alone sounds incredibly cool.
[Future World Mysterious Object (Treasure): A mysterious creation from the future. This is the most powerful collection box in the future. When hidden, it will never be discovered unless you obtain the map that records its location.]
[Location: 917 Black Warrior Lane, in front of the automatic ramen vending machine, the third green button from the left.]
[Treasure Contents: Weird Treasure Chest (White) *1, Special Coin *1]
Looking at the 'automatic ramen vending machine' in front of him, Gu Xi was somewhat incredulous.
He hesitated for a moment, but finally stepped forward, counted from left to right, reached the third green button, and pressed it hard.
Smack! The green button popped up and hit Gu Xi on the forehead.
Behind the spring, Gu Xi saw a 10-yuan coin stuck in the button position.
Holding the pop-up button and coin in his hand, Gu Xi turned to look at the shop owner who had come out of the door.
"This machine is broken."
