Chapter 32: The world channel is buzzing! Another treasure map found?
Chapter 32 The world channel is buzzing! Did we get another treasure map?
On the highway, a silver-white van sped along the straight road. After activating "autopilot," Lin Xuan leisurely sat in the driver's seat, fiddling with the "key" he had traded from the service area earlier. "This little gadget can't really be useless, can it?"
He stroked his chin, examining the key closely again, but no matter how he looked at it, the key could only be described as "rubbish." "Brother, quickly check the world channel!"
At this moment, a light voice came from the passenger seat. Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow, casually put the key in his hand into the storage space, opened the world channel, and the moment the light blue screen lit up, a dense stream of chat history flooded out like a tide.
"Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! Have you heard? Someone shot and killed someone at Service Area B-7!"
"I knew it already. The news has spread like wildfire. I heard it was a player ranked in the top 10,000, who got shot in the head with a single shot."
""
"Wow, that's intense? But aren't fighting prohibited in service areas? Didn't the system stop it?"
"What are you trying to stop? They're using guns. It'll be over in a second. By the time the system reacts, they'll be gone."
"Regardless, I have to admit, this guy has guts to shoot someone in a service area. Apparently, he's been blacklisted by the service area and will never be allowed to enter another one!"
"Blocked for life? That's a death sentence!"
"It's not just being blocked; I heard that the player who died had an older brother who's ranked in the top 1000! I think that kid's in for a rough time!"
"————"
Looking at the message above, Lin Xuan shook his head, a hint of helplessness flashing across his face. Sure enough, there's never a shortage of onlookers in this world. It's just killing one person, is it really necessary to be so surprised?
It's no exaggeration to say that in today's gaming world, how many people dare to admit they haven't stained their hands with blood? As for Zhao Gang, who's ranked in the top 1,000 in the comments, he doesn't even take him seriously.
If that guy dares to cause him trouble, he wouldn't mind sending him to "reunite" with his brother!
Just as Lin Xuan was about to close the world chat, one of the comments caught his attention: "You guys are overthinking it. The one who killed someone is Lin Xuan, who's second on the leaderboard. Who would dare touch him!"
"What??? Lin Xuan? The Lin Xuan who shared the same sect as Lin Xiaoxiao and became a dual Supreme?"
"What? The number one player on the leaderboard got blacklisted by the service? What kind of bizarre plot is this?"
"Will Zhao Lei's brother, Zhao Gang, still dare to seek revenge? Ranking 962 on the leaderboard is coming to cause trouble for the top two players in the game?"
Do you deliver groceries?
Zhao Gang: My brother was murdered, I want revenge! Lin Xuan: Hmm? Zhao Gang: Big brother, it's you—sorry to bother you. Hahahaha?
"The imagery upstairs is so vivid, I'm dying of laughter!"
"Let's all go, let's all go. Even without service areas, this kind of ruthless person can live just fine!"
Lin Xuan stopped watching and turned off the world channel. *Ding*
Just then, a crisp system notification sounded inside the car.
""
"The vehicle has arrived at the designated location autonomously!"
Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow, withdrew his attention, and looked up ahead.
In the very center of the road ahead lay a golden treasure chest. He got out of the car and, just as he reached the chest, the system notification sounded in his mind: "High-level treasure chest found!"
"Phew, this really is a high-level treasure chest!"
Looking at the treasure chest in front of him, Lin Xuan's lips curled into a faint smile. After leaving the service area yesterday, he had been constantly pondering the search device in his hand. This device could not only find treasure chests in the vicinity, but also filter them. After discovering this function, Lin Xuan immediately only selected the high-level treasure chests, not even glancing at the other treasure chest options. After all, he already had enough resources, and if he wanted to quickly increase his strength, the "junk" in ordinary treasure chests was naturally not worth his attention. To get good stuff, he had to find high-level treasure chests. And in order to find this high-level treasure chest, he almost ran out of the search device's search range!
"Let me see if there's anything good in here!"
Lin Xuan rubbed his hands together and squatted down. The moment the box lid opened, a crisp sound rang in his mind: [Ding! Congratulations on opening a high-level treasure chest! You have received the following rewards:]
[Reward 1: Upgrade Core x10, ps: can be used to upgrade vehicles]
[Reward 2: Upgrade the Core Hub. PS: Can be used to upgrade vehicles.]
[Reward 3: A yellowed treasure map]
"A treasure map?"
Upon seeing the third reward, Lin Xuan was overjoyed. He had already obtained quite a few good items from the treasure maps before, and he didn't expect to get another one today. It seems that violating the game rules will not hinder his luck in this game world!
After accepting the treasure map, Lin Xuan focused his attention on the remaining upgrade cores and upgrade core hubs. [Host touched an upgrade core, gaining ten upgrade cores.]
[The host touched the upgrade core and obtained ten upgrade cores.]
"6
""
[The host touched the upgrade core hub, triggering a lucky critical hit and obtaining twenty upgrade core hubs!]
"Phew, overall, this was a pretty good harvest!"
After packing everything away, Lin Xuan rushed back to the car. "Brother, what good stuff is in the treasure chest?"
As soon as he got into the car, Lin Xiaoxiao immediately leaned over and asked curiously, "Treasure map!" At the same time, Su Nian and Su Ran in the back seat also leaned over with curious expressions.
With a thought, Lin Xuan took out the treasure map from his storage space. The yellowed parchment was covered with dense terrain markings and routes, and in the very center, there was a red cross drawn on it, with a line of small characters written next to it. The ink was a little blurry, but it was still faintly legible.
Treasure map!
"We've struck it rich!"
"There must be a lot of good stuff inside the treasure map!"
Lin Xiaoxiao smiled and said happily.
"Don't get too excited yet, you'll only know when you get there!"
Lin Xuan patted her head, then his gaze fell on her chest. "And next time, unless you're lucky enough to have me, don't unbuckle your seatbelt!"
"cut!"
Lin Xiaoxiao pouted and glared at him, but she still obediently fastened her seatbelt. Lin Xuan continued to focus his gaze on the treasure map in his hand. He estimated the distance; the location marked on the treasure map was still more than two thousand kilometers away from his current location.
Two thousand kilometers isn't a long distance. If his van is running at full speed, it should take him about 20 hours to get there. "Let's go see what good stuff is in this treasure map!"
Just as Lin Xuan was about to step on the gas, a private message notification suddenly popped up on the system interface.
"Um?
"
