"Who goes there!" Finley's shrill voice immediately rang out, but it was clear that he did not have much of an imposing aura. That ear-piercing voice actually had some timid trembling to it. Of course, all of this was due to the short sword that Ye Ci was holding against his neck.
As a reincarnator, Ye Ci was naturally no stranger to Finley. Finley, this NPC who was somewhat of a celebrity in Fate, had his own personality. This was probably one of the great innovations in Fate. All NPCs had their own unique personalities and weaknesses. Some were very heroic, but lacked intelligence. Some were smart, but were sickly. There were also some who looked very ordinary, but hid their strengths well. Generally speaking, a hundred types of people would have a hundred types of personalities.
Take Finley, for example. He was as timid as a mouse, but he was someone who was addicted to being in charge. According to the later official introduction, Finley came from an extremely ancient family. He was very rich, and was able to become the mayor of Hidden Treasure Gulf. Other than his own unique cleverness, more importantly, his family had a lot of money. Everything he did was piled up with money.
It seemed that the bastard money, whether it was in real life or virtual games, was something that could not be separated from.
"What are you trying to do?" Finley's voice trembled even more. Although he liked to show off, when his life was threatened, he immediately turned into a cowardly rat. He did not even dare to turn his head. His hands hung limply by his legs, trembling violently.
Ye Ci only saw his left hand reaching into his trouser pocket, and the corners of her mouth curled into a smile, "Raise your hands above your head."
As she spoke, she pressed the Venomous Scorpion Stinger even closer to Finley's neck. The cold sensation caused Finley to tremble all over. He immediately raised his hands high above his head, expressing his submission.
"Raise, raise! Don't kill me, don't kill me!! "
Ye Ci reached her hand into Finley's left pocket, and smoothly pulled out a switch. Ye Ci was not at all unfamiliar with this thing. This was the switch used to summon robots. As long as Finley pressed this switch, many robots would immediately surge out from outside to attack Ye Ci, and Finley would then easily subdue the intruder.
This was originally a quest after Hidden Treasure Gulf was opened to the public, but she did not expect that it would still be useful now.
"Looking for a helper?" Ye Ci tossed the switch up and down in her hand, and gave Finley a meaningful smile.
"No, definitely not!" Finley immediately shook his head, denying all of his petty thoughts...
"Is that so." Ye Ci nodded, and in the next second, she threw the switch in her hand without hesitation. Finley cried out in shock, and wanted to pounce forward, but the moment he moved, the sword on his neck pressed even closer to his skin. He had no choice but to stay still, and stared helplessly as the switch fell to the ground, and was then crushed to pieces by the Fourth Prince summoned by Ye Ci.
"Wuwuwu, this thing, this thing, is very precious," Finley looked at the mechanical box that had been crushed to pieces by the Fourth Prince, and his face contorted in pain. "What do you want!"
"Where is the treasure chest in Hidden Treasure Gulf?" Ye Ci did not want to waste time with him, and directly cut to the heart of the matter.
"There are no treasure chests in Hidden Treasure Gulf!" Finley immediately shook his head in denial to Ye Ci's question.
Ye Ci did not waste time with him either, it would be faster to deal with this kind of NPC by directly torturing him. She pulled out the Venomous Scorpion Stinger, and stabbed it into his arm, causing fresh blood to gush out from the wound, causing Finley to scream in fright.
If it were any other place, Finley's scream would have attracted the attention of others long ago, but Finley was a person who was addicted to power, and insisted on having his house located at the highest point in the middle of nowhere. It would take at least ten minutes for the nearest person to rush up here, so naturally, no one would be able to hear him from such a distance. Having lost his robot switch, Finley quickly became a target for Ye Ci to bully.
People who were afraid of death were also afraid of pain. After being stabbed by Ye Ci, Finley immediately rolled around on the ground, causing the floor to be covered in blood, and it was no different from a murder scene. However, he still understood the ways of the world, and after weighing the disparity in strength between himself and Ye Ci, he could only go against his conscience and agree to help Ye Ci find the treasure chest in Hidden Treasure Gulf.
However, even if that was the case, Finley still said the ugly words up front, "Foreigner, let me tell you this first. The people guarding the treasure chests are all very scary. If you die, I won't take any responsibility at all."
Ye Ci had already expected this outcome. There was no such thing as a free lunch in this world, so in order to obtain the good stuff, one had to go through a battle, and this was a matter of course.
"Finley has joined your party." The system notification rang out: "Quest objective: Repel the treasure chest's guardian, and ensure that Finley does not die. Quest duration: 24 hours. "
So, this was a quest.
After accepting this quest, the entire scenery of Hidden Treasure Gulf underwent a huge change. Although it was still the scenery of the setting sun, it was now shrouded in a thin layer of fog, making it look hazy and hazy. When Ye Ci saw this scene, she immediately understood that Hidden Treasure Gulf had now become a huge dungeon.
The NPCs along the way had all become attack-type monsters, with high HP and high attack. Finley, on the other hand, had become a cleric. This was really a scam, she never knew that Finley's class was actually a cleric. If all clerics looked like Finley, it would really be disgusting.
However, this party's composition was not bad. The Fourth Prince could be both an MT and a DPS, while Ye Ci had always been a damage dealer, and there was even a healer following behind to heal them. Although there was a constant stream of small monsters along the way, it was still very easy to defeat them.
At this moment, the display of the treasure chests appeared on the virtual map. There were a total of six treasure chests, which were respectively located in the blacksmith's, the general merchant's, the auctioneer's, the fishing master's, the statue by the shore, and the ship's cabin at the shallow beach. With the location, it was much more convenient.
However, because Finley had to sit down and rest for a while after defeating a wave of small monsters, Ye Ci could not abandon him, as this would definitely result in the failure of the quest. She also could not force him to fight a few more monsters before resting, so she could only follow his pace. Ye Ci was not used to this kind of speed. If she did not bring this burden along, she was afraid that she would not even need 24 hours to complete this dungeon.
Walking and stopping, fighting and resting, they finally arrived at the blacksmith's house. There was a huge treasure chest in his house, which was sparkling with a golden light and was very attractive. However, if one wanted to obtain the item, they still had to go through a lot of twists and turns.
This kind of unexplored map was actually a little like a benefit given to the players by the game officials. The difficulty would be automatically adjusted according to the players who entered, so it would not be too difficult for the players. The game was just like life. There were ordinary people at the bottom, but there were also people at the top.
For the game itself, it did not matter who reached the top. The game placed the opportunity there, and as long as you could obtain it, you would be able to reach the heavens in a single bound. It seemed very fair, but in reality, it was not that fair.
Luck had always been a kind of ability.
The duel with the blacksmith was not difficult. At least, Ye Ci felt that it was not as difficult as Finley had described. Very quickly, the blacksmith collapsed, leaving behind that sparkling golden chest in the house.
Other than gold coins, there was also a lot of equipment in the chest. However, there was nothing that Ye Ci could use for herself, but they were all good items for other professions. Ye Ci immediately pocketed all of these items. She could only sell them for a good price.
The next three NPCs, the general merchandise merchant, the auctioneer and the fishing skill master, were all just like the blacksmith. They were not that difficult to deal with at all. They were quickly defeated in the duel and gave away large amounts of gold coins and expensive equipment. It was a pity that none of these items belonged to Ye Ci as a Huntress. This made Ye Ci very depressed.
Could it be that she had worked so hard to open an unexplored map, and in the end, it was all for someone else?
After looting four treasure chests, Ye Ci stood at the edge of the harbor and looked at the two remaining treasure chests. She turned to look at Finley: "How do we get the remaining two chests?"
Finley looked at the gigantic statue at the edge of the harbor and the ship at the shoal, and answered without a second thought: "Climb up, of course!"
Climb up? Ye Ci looked at the statue's height and felt that it would be easy for her to climb up. However, if she wanted to bring Finley up, she was afraid that ….. it would not be that easy. The other cabin seemed to be even simpler. After hesitating for a moment, Ye Ci finally decided to go into the cabin to retrieve the treasure chests.
She jumped into the water without hesitation and swam towards the cabin, intending to use her cat claws to climb up the ship. However, just as she jumped into the water, she heard a system notification: "You are too far away from Finley. Be careful of failing the quest!"
Ye Ci hurriedly stopped and turned to look. Finley was still standing on the wooden platform at the harbor, and the Fourth Prince was standing beside him, shaking his head.
"Come down!"
"No! Absolutely not! Finley hates water the most. Water will drown Finley! "Finley immediately waved his hand and rejected Ye Ci.
Ye Ci's head was filled with black lines. You don't know how to get into the water? F * ck! That's where the problem lies. If you don't know how to get into the water, then how am I supposed to get on the ship?
After staring at Finley for a good while in the water, Ye Ci finally rubbed her nose and admitted defeat. Sometimes, there was no way to surpass the rigidity of the game. She came ashore with her body dripping wet and looked down at Finley: "You really don't want to get into the water?"
"Absolutely not!" Finley was unusually insistent.
Ye Ci could only take out the cat claws from her bag and began to tie them together with the hemp rope at the harbor. Alright, since the other party didn't agree, then she would just compromise. It was such a simple matter.
After tying the cat claws, Ye Ci swung the rope into a gigantic prototype, aimed at the side of the ship and threw the cat claws over …..
