The First Golden Treasure Chest

The mission is complete?

Wu An glanced at Zhang Chulan, a look of regret appearing on his face.

He had been planning to try the local delicacies with Zhang Chulan!

After all, up until now, Wu An had traveled through four worlds.

Each time had been quite rushed.

It had been so hard to find an opportunity this time, yet he hadn't expected to run out of time again!

But it didn't matter.

There were still many days ahead.

There were still the heavens and myriad worlds waiting for Wu An to explore.

There was no need to rush this one time.

"Zhang Chulan, I have to head back."

"Let's get together again when there's time."

"I'll treat you then!"

Wu An said.

"Alright then!"

Zhang Chulan looked disappointed.

"I'm off, then!"

Wu An waved his hand and turned to leave in a leisurely manner.

This time, he didn't open the space-time portal in front of everyone.

Instead, he went to a secluded spot.

Rip!

A multicolored space-time portal appeared.

Wu An stepped forward and vanished from this world.

"Ah?!"

"Big Sister, why did you let him go?"

"Should I go and call him back?"

The young beauty looked at Wu An's retreating figure, suddenly anxious.

"No need."

"Since he has already refused."

"Do you really think we could drag him back to the Tianxia Association?"

Feng Shayan was silent for a moment before speaking.

"How could that be possible!"

"He is so strong; even if we all teamed up, we wouldn't be enough to fight him!"

The young beauty shrank her head back, looking fearful.

"However..."

"We can't just give up like this..."

The young beauty persisted.

"Give up?"

Feng Shayan smiled.

"How could I, Feng Shayan, ever give up?"

Feng Shayan said with ironclad resolve.

"Then what should we do?"

The young beauty looked bewildered.

"Heh, you want to recruit Brother Wu An?"

"Forget it, I advise you not to waste your time!"

Zhang Chulan interjected from the side.

"People from Quanxing have also invited Brother Wu An."

"That Lv Liang even tried to recruit him with the position of Quanxing leader."

"But in the end, he was still rejected on the spot by Brother Wu An!"

Zhang Chulan said as he began to walk away.

What?!

The young beauty was completely stunned!

Quanxing?

The position of Sect Leader?

This... how could this be possible?

Are the people of Quanxing insane?

They would even use the position of Sect Leader as a bargaining chip?

"Quanxing is Quanxing, and my Tianxia Association is the Tianxia Association!"

Feng Shayan's face was full of defiance!

She stared at Wu An's back from afar!

"No matter the cost!"

"I must have him!"

"With this man's assistance, my Tianxia Association will surely dominate the entire world of Outcasts!"

Meanwhile, Wu An had already returned to the urban world!

With a flash of the colorful passage, Wu An reappeared in his room!

He glanced at the alarm clock!

Hardly any time had passed at all!

The time before his departure and the current time were exactly the same!

Yet, Wu An had spent nearly an entire day in the world of The Outcast!

Thump!

Wu An flopped onto his bed, listening to the voices of Nini and Xu Qing outside the room, feeling as if a lifetime had passed!

This trip was the longest time Wu An had ever spent in another world!

Previously, even in the world of One Piece, Wu An had only stayed for a few hours!

After lying there for a few minutes, Wu An gradually calmed down!

I can't keep Sister Qing waiting for too long!

A thought stirred in Wu An's mind!

He suddenly remembered that today was Xu Qing's birthday!

Ever since the decline of the Wu Family, Xu Qing had truly helped Wu An a great deal!

Wu An had seen it all!

When the Wu Family fell, those fair-weather friends of Wu An had avoided him like the plague!

Even his fiancée, Yun Muyue, hadn't even looked for Wu An, let alone offered a helping hand!

It wasn't until a few days ago that she finally came to see him!

And the result was only to demand that Wu An cancel their engagement!

Such is the cold reality of human relationships!

But Xu Qing had helped him with genuine sincerity!

In the past, Wu An had lacked the ability to repay her!

Naturally, he could only keep it silently in his heart!

But now, Wu An certainly could not continue to ignore it!

Thinking of this, a deep blue gemstone appeared in Wu An's hand!

This gemstone was something Wu An had prepared to give to Xu Qing before this trip!

He had carefully selected it from the ten chests of jewelry he received as mission rewards!

Even with the discerning eye Wu An once had as the young master of the Wu Family, he could not find a single flaw!

It perfectly matched Xu Qing's temperament!

"Sister Qing, happy birthday!"

Wu An walked out of the room, approached Xu Qing, and placed the gemstone on the table!

"I wish for Sister Qing to remain eighteen every year!"

Wu An said with a smile!

"Having your blessing is enough!"

"As for the gift, take it back!"

Xu Qing rolled her eyes at Wu An, radiating a faint, charming allure.

However, the moment she caught sight of the deep blue gemstone, she froze.

"This gemstone?!"

Xu Qing's eyes widened.

"Wow, Brother, this gemstone is so beautiful! Looking at it, I feel like I'm seeing the vast ocean!"

Nini blinked her large eyes.

"Where did you get this gemstone?"

Xu Qing picked up the gem, clearly unable to put it down.

She had fallen in love with it at first sight.

"This gem shouldn't be cheap, right?"

Xu Qing asked again.

As a flight attendant, she flew all over the world year-round and was well-traveled, so she naturally realized this gemstone was extraordinary.

"A friend gave it to me!"

Wu An gave a casual excuse.

"No, I can't accept something so valuable!"

"If you don't want it, just go sell it!"

After thinking for a long time, Xu Qing spoke up.

Although she loved the gemstone, she didn't want to see Wu An in a difficult spot.

One look at this gem told her it was worth a fortune.

She also had some understanding of Wu An's current situation.

It could be said that he had absolutely no source of income.

He was living entirely off part-time tutoring and scholarships.

Therefore, she could not accept this gem.

"Sister Qing, don't worry, I have plenty more gems like this!"

"They were all gifts from friends; I didn't pay much attention to them before, but I just remembered them now!"

Wu An shook his head.

"Sister Qing, you know my family used to be very wealthy!"

"These gems don't mean much to me!"

Wu An added, trying to reassure her.

"Really?"

Xu Qing looked at him with suspicion.

"I can accept it, but only on one condition!"

"Tomorrow, you have to accompany me to a jewelry store, and I'll buy you something too!"

Xu Qing said firmly.

"If you don't agree, then forget about this gemstone!"

"Fine!"

Wu An thought about it.

It worked out well; he was planning to go to a jewelry store anyway to sell a few pieces.

Accompanying Xu Qing would be on the way.

About half an hour later, Xu Qing left.

Nini also went back to her room to sleep.

Wu An returned to his room as well.

"System, settle the mission!"

Wu An's spirits lifted.

Earlier, because Xu Qing was around, he hadn't had the time to settle the mission.

Now that he was finally free, he was ready to check.

He wanted to see what kind of rewards the system would grant him for this mission.

"Ding... The system is verifying the mission..."

"Main Quest: Rescue Zhang Chulan!"

"Quest Status: Completed!"

"Quest Rating: Perfect!"

"Side Quest: Repel Zhang Lingyu!"

"Quest Status: Completed!"

"Quest Rating: Perfect!"

"System is distributing rewards..."

"Ding... Congratulations to the host for obtaining one Golden Treasure Chest, one Silver Treasure Chest, and two Bronze Treasure Chests!"

Holy crap!!

Wu An was stunned for a moment, and then, a look of immense ecstasy appeared on his face!

A Golden Treasure Chest!

To think there would actually be a Golden Treasure Chest!

This was the first time Wu An had ever obtained a Golden Treasure Chest!
