Therefore, in the eyes of the Remnant, as long as Qiji doesn't move the treasure chest, he's no different from a Invisible Man.
So, when the sounds of fighting outside startled the Remnant near the treasure chest, those Remnant, whose aggro mechanism was very easy to understand, immediately charged out howling.
Qiji had been waiting for this moment for ages!
His turn —
Unboxing!
Remembering how he had just casually drawn a golden item for Blessing, Qiji felt that his luck was exceptionally good today, and immediately entered the password without hesitation.
The treasure chest has been opened; a purple light is mixed with blue light!
A purple Circuit Book, plus a blue Echo Fragment!
Although no gold item was obtained, one purple and one blue item is still pretty good!
Qiji felt that his luck was absolutely perfect today!
Open two more treasure chests, and you're guaranteed to get gold!
With a bit of luck, it might even become a huge hit!
Of course, you'll still need your teammates' help to keep opening treasure chests.
So Qiji spent 298 Popularity Points to buy paper and pen from the system.
Don't think it's expensive; this price was negotiated down by Qiji.
The system initially quoted an exorbitant price: 648 for just a piece of paper and a pen?
He was immediately met with a barrage of harsh words from the latter, who was very thrifty.
Get it for less than half price with ease.
Qiji drew a map on a piece of paper, clearly marking the location of the next island with a treasure chest.
Then, he stuffed the hastily made treasure map back into the empty treasure chest that he had already opened, and locked it again.
Having done all this, Qiji left first, heading straight for the next island.
He sacrificed himself, risking his life to scout ahead for his temporary teammates.
The Charles squad's advance went very smoothly; the third-order Remnant on the island posed no threat to them whatsoever.
It just took a little effort to find the password later on.
After three failed attempts, they finally managed to open the treasure chest.
Everyone held their breath, anticipating the light that would burst forth from the treasure chest...
Wait, why is there no light at all?!
Dorothy, who was in charge of unpacking the boxes, was quite embarrassed for a moment.
As everyone knows, any treasure chest that appears in the Sea of Consciousness, once opened, should at least contain items of green quality.
... Could it be that she's made history by being so dark-skinned?
Just when Dorothy felt like she wanted to die, Charles peeked over and was overjoyed!
"Miss Dorothy, your luck is incredible!"
"Huh?" Dorothy thought for a moment that Charles was being sarcastic, and the smile she was trying so hard to maintain almost crumbled.
Fortunately, the next second, Charles took out a note from the treasure chest and spread it out in front of everyone:
"Miss Dorothy, the treasure chest you opened is a chain treasure chest!"
Look at this piece of paper; it marks the location of the next treasure chest.
I never expected to encounter something like this in the Sea of Consciousness. I think we might have made history!
I've never heard of anything in one treasure chest being a clue to another.
I'm sure the contents of the next treasure chest will be extraordinary!
The crowd was quite convinced by Charles's explanation.
After all, this is the eldest son of the Isolde Family, whose knowledge and experience far surpass those of others.
Since he said so, it can't be wrong!
"Let's go! We'll head over there right now!"
The thought of the next treasure chest potentially yielding something good immediately excited everyone, and they hurriedly set off for the next island recorded on the paper.
This time, Charles didn't even bother telling Dorothy the jokes he had carefully collected, and as a result, the pace of progress was much faster than before.
The group worked extra hard to clean up the Remnant, and soon the entire core area was cleared.
The crowd scattered, preparing to search for clues to the code in the fragments of the Remnant's memory.
However, the next moment, the sharp-eyed Rina suddenly pointed at the treasure chest and said, "Look, there's a note stuck on the treasure chest!"
Rina, who was closest, was about to step forward and tear off the note, but Charles shouted at her, "Let me do it!"
Rina paused, then quickly forced a fawning smile, "Lord Charles, I was just about to fetch it for you."
"No need, I have my own hands."
Charles tore off the note, glanced at it, and then handed it to Dorothy, who had stepped forward, his tone even more certain.
"That's right, it's a series of treasure chests! There must be something good inside!"
This note contains the password to the treasure chest!
That's right, the note contained the password that Qiji had left for them!
Because Qiji complained that they were deciphering the treasure chest too slowly—
Isn't this delaying his important business?
"Miss Dorothy, you have the best luck today, so you can open this treasure chest again."
Dorothy nodded, momentarily excited as well.
The passwords were entered one by one, and the treasure chest opened with a "click".
"Huh?"
However, the golden light I had imagined did not appear; just like before, there was still no light at all...
In an instant, five impatient heads pushed forward at the same time.
But what they found inside the treasure chest was still just a piece of paper.
Charles picked up the note without hesitation, his expression instantly becoming serious:
"Unbelievable! It's a triple treasure chest!"
I was just being conservative when I said there might be withdrawals...
It might be the legendary double gold treasure chest!
No, it's not impossible that you might even get a big red item or Myth Fragment!
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's breathing became heavier.
Even Charles himself couldn't help but feel his heart beat a little faster.
Despite his earlier generous words, letting Dorothy choose all the fragments first.
But if it really is Legend Fragment, or even Myth Fragment, then we have to go back to the point!
"Let's go, let's set off!"
And so, through the seamless cooperation between Qiji and Charles's team—
The third treasure chest! The fourth treasure chest!
Before we knew it, we were on the fifth one!
When the fifth treasure chest was opened, it still contained only a piece of paper.
This time, however, the paper not only showed the location of the next treasure chest, but it was also covered in bright red.
Beside the treasure chest, there was a line of crooked, small print:
Myth Fragment x2!
The moment Charles saw those words, his eyes widened in disbelief!
His current Echo Core is already inlaid with a red Myth Fragment; if the other two slots could also be filled with mythical fragments...
How bright his future must be!
I can't even imagine!
"Go, hurry! We need to make the most of this time!"
Charles was blinded by excitement.
However, Dorothy calmed down and hesitated, saying:
"Mr. Charles, our time limit for staying in the Sea of Consciousness is almost up. If we don't evacuate soon..."
Dorothy could naturally understand the concerns Charles had.
However, after some calculation, he determined that the island wasn't that far away.
Head straight there, eliminate the Remnant as quickly as possible, open the treasure chest, and retreat immediately.
Although the timeframe is a bit tight, theoretically there's still plenty of time!
After all, they don't need to go through the trouble of finding any password to open the treasure chest.
The Sea of Consciousness has already thoughtfully pasted the passwords on the treasure chests for them!
"It's alright, as long as we have enough time to evacuate, there won't be any problems!"
With the "Spirit Resonance Synchronization Array" technology and the resources of the Isolde Family, Charles always enters the Sea of Consciousness with full power.
Therefore, he has never suffered a loss in the Sea of Consciousness.
Even after going in and out so many times, he still doesn't know what it feels like to be injured in spirit form.
I imagine this time will be the same.
Chapter 102: Qiji is laughing so happily! (3.5 in 1)
Qiji had originally intended to get along well with his five temporary teammates whom he didn't know.
After all, everyone had a great time working together, and his teammates were very generous, giving him all the treasure chests.
Qiji is someone who remembers the good things about others.
Therefore, he originally planned to stop at the fourth treasure chest, throw in two green fragments, pay the reward, and let them evacuate safely.
Thus, this collaboration can be considered a successful conclusion.
Both sides reaped significant benefits, making it undoubtedly a win-win situation.
However, all of this changed after Qiji met Charles.
Because Qiji recognized him.
Isn't that a coincidence?
Charles Isolde.
In the original storyline, this guy almost wiped out Liuli, Huomu, and Bai Lili.
The act was extremely cruel.
How should I put it?
Qiji is quite protective of his own.
Moreover, even putting that aside, there's another matter that warrants Qiji taking action against Charles.
