"He's looking for this!" After the old man finished speaking, he handed Lu Chen an item.
[Incomplete Treasure Map (7/8)]
Lu Chen furrowed his brows. "Elder, what's this?"
"Literally." The old man smiled and sat beside Lu Chen.
The old man sighed and said slowly, "I've been in the City of Exiles for a long time. When I first arrived, I was in high spirits and thought that with my abilities, I could quickly become a Titled Marshal."
"Later on, I realized that it was too difficult to leave this place … The enemies outside are not easy to deal with. Resources are scarce here, and the Third Heaven is not like the previous two Heavens. Although everyone says that there are opportunities everywhere, humans are too lowly and have no way to go to a wider place."
"Day after day, year after year, I have already accepted reality … Who doesn't have a family backing them up? My backing is too small, it can't support me to reach that step. Sigh, in the end, I still can't protect my world …"
Lu Chen glanced at the old man. If he had really stayed here for a few years, it meant that he was very strong.
It wasn't easy to survive countless battles.
The old man suddenly changed his tone. "However, it's not like I didn't gain anything all these years. I got this!" The old man looked at the treasure map in Lu Chen's hands.
"Asura's strength is far beyond ours. He has a powerful backing!" The old man looked at Lu Chen. "He came to the City of Exiles not because he was wanted, but because of this treasure map!"
Lu Chen furrowed his brows and listened to the old man continue.
"As you can see, this treasure map is only seven-eighths complete. However, that part is not important. Look at the map below. With these maps in my hands, you can already determine the location."
Lu Chen had to admit that the old man had the ability to exploit bugs … Or rather, the old man's luck was even better. The fragments of the treasure map that he had obtained were just enough to piece together the location of the treasure.
Lu Chen raised his head. "So, the remaining one-eighth is in Asura's hands?"
The old man nodded. "Yes, it's in his hands! I saw him when he came to the City of Exiles! "
Lu Chen narrowed his eyes slightly. "The reason why you feel hopeless is not because you can't leave the City of Exiles, but because you are afraid of Shura?"
The old man took a deep breath and finally nodded. "I've endured for so long, and my military merit points are almost there. It's just that I can't pass the test. Asura's strength is unfathomable, and he's not someone I can deal with. He's already locked onto the last few people, and I can't escape in the end. "
Lu Chen asked curiously, "Since you have a treasure, why don't you look for it yourself?"
The old man smiled. "Go out and look for it yourself? Young man, have you forgotten where it is outside? Outside is the Myriad Race Battlefield. If we are alone, only death awaits us. "
"Young man, I've met countless people. I can see that you're a man of character."
"Did you want to mess with those mission officers?"
Lu Chen looked at the old man in surprise. "You can tell?"
The old man smiled. "It's normal. I've wanted to kill those three for a long time. They're so disgusting. However, young man, don't let your emotions affect your decisions. Since you've come to the City of Exiles, it means that you have nowhere else to go. If you offend the City of Exiles at this time, you'll really be cornered. "
"Shura will find me soon. I don't have many days left to live. Originally, I wanted to find a suicide mission and die outside, but Shura has already bribed the mission officers. The few targets that he has locked onto, none of them will receive the mission!"
"I'll give you this map. I still have more than 40000 military merit points. I see that your physical body is seriously injured, so use it to exchange for some high-grade pills … But remember, don't attract attention. Otherwise, Asura will very likely find you."
"The treasure map is a disaster, not a blessing, so I don't dare ask you for anything. But if, and I'm saying if, you have the chance to leave this place and meet people from my planet in the future, please help them. I … I'm ashamed to face them …"
"Young man, transfer the suicide mission to me. I'm already tired. You still have a chance. There's no need to rush to ruin your path to Jiutian."
Lu Chen looked at the treasure map in his hand.
The treasure map couldn't be fake. After all, the system had verified it.
"Old man, I'll take the treasure map. As for the military merit points, you can keep them. As for the mission … I'm afraid I can't give it to you. I need to earn military merit points."
"Earn military merit points through the suicide mission? Young man, don't tease me … There's no point in keeping my military merit points. Asura won't go easy on me. "
Lu Chen smiled. "If he comes looking for you, tell him that the map is in my hands!"
"What? You, you want to give the map to Asura directly?! "
Lu Chen shook his head. "Give it to him? How is that possible? I just feel that although seven-eighths of the map is still acceptable, it's still uncomfortable to look at … This treasure map can't be given to a worthless corner. The one in his hands might contain other important information. "
"However, old man, if it's possible, please wait a few more days. My body isn't very good right now. If I act rashly, I'm afraid I'll need to rest for a long time. It's a bit boring here."
The old man's eyes widened. He didn't know whether to believe Lu Chen's words or not.
At this moment, someone passed by. The old man stood up vigilantly. The person was just passing by, but the old man seemed very nervous, like a bird startled by the twang of a bow.
Lu Chen pressed the old man's arm with his left hand, calming him down. "Old man, don't worry. I'll find something for Asura to do. He won't have time to look for you for at least half a month."
"This …"
Lu Chen stood up. "Old man, thank you for the map. I won't let you die. I'm afraid you'll have to protect the people in your hometown." With that, Lu Chen sent him a friend request.
The old man hesitated. "Add me as a friend … this, I'm afraid it'll attract Asura's attention."
Lu Chen smiled. "It doesn't matter. There are too many people paying attention to me. A few more won't matter."
The old man thought for a while and accepted the friend request.
Because it wasn't set, Lu Chen saw the old man's ID — Cowherd.
"Young man, did you hide your ID?"
Lu Chen thought for a while. The old man was willing to give him a treasure map and didn't hide his ID. It didn't seem right for him to not show anything.
He directly showed the four golden IDs that were wanted by the entire Level 3 server.
"Solipsistic!"
"Gold, golden ID?"
Lu Chen kept the ID. "It's just a special effect. It's not that interesting."
The old man almost vomited blood.
Although it was just a special effect, everyone in the world had white IDs. He was the only one with a golden ID. This made the nature of the situation completely different.
This person was definitely not ordinary! Perhaps his luck had really changed. He had found the right person!
"Young man, can I ask you one more question? Who exactly are you wanted by? "
Lu Chen's expression couldn't be seen clearly under the mask. He could only hear his somewhat helpless voice. "Sigh, this … is really too tragic. I can only tell you, don't tell anyone that you're my friend. Otherwise, you'll be beaten up badly … "
