Chapter 56 Hunting Begins in the [Treasure Land]

‘Treasure land?’

All participants raised their eyebrows as if they had never heard of it.

“What is a treasure land?”

Nevertheless, Zander asked the voice who claimed to be the creator of this treasure land in a calm tone.

“A [Treasure land] is a land of treasures.”

The voice resounded everywhere in the [Treasure land] as it explained, “In short, [God ruins] are formed after a [Treasure land] is deteriorated.”

“Anyway, I will come to the main part. Unlike the [God ruins], you can’t find a single treasure in this land because you have to buy them from me.”

“Buy?”

Hearing the voice, everyone got confused as they didn’t know how to buy or what items they could buy.

“There are thousands of monsters and mutated beasts in my [Treasure land]. You will get [Treasure points] by killing them depending on their strength.”

“By collecting some treasure points, you can unlock the access to the [Treasure room] of my [Treasure land]. As long as you have enough treasure points, you can buy the items from the [Treause room].”

“As for the time limit, there is no time limit until the [Treasure room] becomes empty.”

From the beginning to the ending, the owner of the [Treasure land] didn’t bother with young heroes’ questions as he explained everything in a single go.

“Now, start the hunt and collect as many treasure points as possible. If you are late, someone else might buy them before you.”

Sensing that the young heroes were still standing in their places, the voice urged them to start the hunt.

“So, we have to hunt the monsters and the mutated beasts. Cool.”

“However, didn’t he say that death is real in this place?”

“Who cares? Without taking risks, you could not get anything.”

“Let’s go.

“Young heroes of the Ambermane family, let’s not waste any time collecting the treasure points.”

“Icefeather family, stay together. We will kill the monsters and mutated beasts as a team.”

Everyone was excited because, to him, hunting the monsters and mutated beasts was much easier than the tricky quests in the [God ruins].

Even though some worried about getting killed, they continued the hunt because they could not afford to get rich and powerful without taking any risks.

‘Swoosh’_-.

Soon, except for Leo and Julia, all the participants started the hunt.

“Brother Leo, let’s go. Others have already started their hunting.”

Julia knew Leo was the strongest among all the participants; however, that doesn’t mean they should waste time.

If they use their strength correctly, they could buy many treasures from the [Treasure room].

“There is no hurry.”

However, Leo replied to Julia with a slight smile as he took out a rusty bronze coin.

“You will fulfill one of my requests, right?”

Playing with that rusty bronze coin, Leo spoke to the sky.

‘Huh?’

‘Swoosh’

Julia was confused; however, before she could ask about it, someone appeared in front of them.

It was an old man with a long white beard with unique clothes and accessories.

Judging from his clothes and appearance, anyone could tell that they were not from this world.

“Y…you….who are you?”

Julia was surprised by the sudden appearance of the old man and hurriedly hid behind Leo before asking him.

“Haha…didn’t you recognize my voice? I am the one who was explaining all the things to you earlier.”

The old man had a friendly smile as he replied with a light chuckle.

“You are the creator of this [Treasure land]?”

Julia recognized the voice; however, she was still unsure about it.

“Julia, there is no need to be afraid of him.”

Leo asked Julia not to be afraid of the old man as he continued, “He is just a remnant spirit of the actual creator of the [Treause land].”

‘Huh?’

Julia was surprised by Leo’s explanation and intently stared at the old man.

“Are you going to shoot lasers out of your eyes or what?”

The old man was annoyed with Julia’s stare and rebuked her.

“So, you are the lucky one who got the coin.”

Next, the old man looked at the coin in Leo’s hands and nodded his head before informing Leo.

“Other than asking the treasures from the [Treasure room] or killing the other participants for you, you can ask anything you want.”

“Haha…I know that.”

Leo was not surprised by the conditions of the [Treasure land] creator.

“I only have one request, and it is also within the reasonable conditions of this coin.”

“Go on. Let me hear your request.”

Looking at the mysterious smile on Leo’s face, the old man felt something was wrong with it.

Nevertheless, according to the rules, he had to fulfill that coin holder’s reasonable condition.

‘Just help me arrange a….’

Leo walked forward as he whispered in the old man’s ear.

“That’s it? And here I was expecting that you would ask for some treasure points.”

After hearing Leo’s request, the old man heaved a sigh of relief because it was the most straightforward request anyone could ever ask.

“So, are you going to fulfill my request?”

Leo knew there wouldn’t be any problem with his request. So, he asked with a slight smile on his face.

“Of course. It’s just a small request.”

The old man nodded his head, and the rusty bronze coin in Leo’s hand disappeared.

“Also, the coin holder gets a 10 percent discount on all his purchases from the [Treasure room]; however, since you didn’t ask for a big favour. I will throw in another five percent discount to it.”

The old man generously acted as he gave a 15 percent discount for Leo before disappearing.

“Brother Leo, what did you request?”

After the remnant spirit disappeared, Julia asked Leo with a curious look.

“It’s a secret for now. Just wait for some time, and you will know.”

However, Leo didn’t have any plans to tell Julia as he wanted to give her a surprise.

“Ugh”

Julia angrily looked at Leo for a moment before shaking her head.

“I will wait then.”

She could only nod her head and suddenly thought of something in the end.

“By the way, where did you get that rusty bronze coin?”

“Where else? From yesterday’s auction.”

Leo replied with a slight smile as he continued, “Amy’s father was generous enough to give away such a precious item for free.”

“What? Is that the item he gave you in that gift box?”

Julia was surprised.

That’s right!

It was the item that Family head Oliver was unable to get appraised of and decided to gift it to Leo for buying four items among the first five items of his premium auction.

However, Oliver didn’t know that Leo had a system that was extremely good at appraising the items.

‘Ding,

Item name:- Rusty bronze coin.

Use:- It can be used in exchange for one favour from the spirits guarding the [God ruins] and [Treasure lands].

Note:- The favour should be reasonable and within a range where the spirits can fulfill it.

This was the information that appeared in front of Leo when he opened the gift box.

Since the [God ruins] would be opened soon, Leo knew it was the most important item anyone could hope for.

‘Family head Oliver looks like I will make good use of it.’

At the same time, yesterday, he promised Family head Oliver to make good use of that item, and he was, of course, making good use of it.

‘I wonder what types of treasures and how many of them are lying inside the [Treasure room] waiting for me to collect.’

Soon, Leo was lost in his thoughts as he dreamed about the treasures.

“Brother Leo, you are very lucky.”

“Am I?”

Suddenly, Julia said a line that made Leo bitterly smile as he asked while placing a hand on his chest.

“Of course, Brother Leo. If you are not lucky, who did you get such a rare item for free? What’s more, Sister Amy’s father gave it away for free, which only happens in my dream.”

Julia didn’t have a good impression of Oliver as she noticed he would do anything for money.

“Anyway, Why don’t you come and sit here?”

Leo shook his head and asked Julia to sit.

“Aren’t we going to hunt?”

Julia was confused as she asked Leo.

“No, there is no need to hunt.”

Leo smiled as he lay against a tree and closed his eyes.

‘…’

Julia was speechless; however, she knew Brother Leo was not the type to let others have all the treasures.

‘Is he planning something?’

‘What kind of favour he asked the old man?’

‘Will be okay?’

Julia had all kinds of questions as she walked toward Leo and sat beside him.

‘I hope Brother Leo knew what he was doing.’

This was the only thought in her head.

As a healer, she could not kill a single rank 4 mutated beast or monster, not to mention that she didn’t know how powerful the mutated beasts and monsters were in this [Treasure land].

….

As Leo and Julia were resting under a huge tree, the other participants were racing to collect the points.

Almost all of them formed groups before entering the [Treause land]. So, they started working together to kill as many monsters and the mutated beasts as possible.

<The participant has enough treasure points to access the [Treasure room]. Do you want to enter?>

After five hours of continuous farming, one of the peak rank 6 heroes heard the remnant spirit’s voice in his head.

‘Finally….yes, I want to enter.’

The participant was excited and hurriedly nodded his head.

‘Swoosh’

‘My beloved treasures, I am coming for you.’

As soon as the participant nodded his head, he disappeared with an exciting look from his place.

…

‘Swoosh’

Soon, that participant appeared at the starting location of the [Treasure land]

‘Why am I here? Where is the [Treasure room]?’

The participant recognized the location; however, he didn’t think much as he assumed the [Treasure room] might be somewhere around him.

“Huh? Two participants have already arrived here?”

While checking for the [Treasure room], that participant found two participants under a huge tree.

The two participants resting under the huge tree were none other than Leo and Julia.

“Well, well…looks like someone has already gathered enough treasure points.”

Seeing that a participant had appeared, Leo revealed a slight smile as he walked toward him.

“Where is the [Treasure room]?”

That participant asked with a frown as he felt something was not right.

“To enter the [Treasure room], you have to pass through me.”

Loe answered the participant with a slight smile and said, “Come at me with all your might; otherwise, you won’t stand a chance against me.”
