Chapter 659 489: No Convenience Needed, Thank You. (5.2K)_2
Business deal?
When Li Chun heard these words from Liu Jiale's mouth, her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly: "Can I ask what kind of business deal?"
As friends, and considering that Liu Jiale had helped save her before, Li Chun still had a good impression of him.
However, Liu Jiale seemed to have undergone some changes, becoming somewhat unfamiliar.
"This..."
Liu Jiale paused and said, "Why don't you tell me where Old Li is, and I'll go speak with him personally."
"Then..."
Just as Li Chun was about to say something, Little Spider nudged her shoulder with its limb and then pointed at the float immersed in the magma.
There's a fish on the hook!
Li Chun instinctively yanked the Ink Crystal Fishing Rod with force, the rod over three meters long bending into a bow-like arc with its tip shaking frequently.
It's a big fish!
Li Chun was overjoyed. Whenever there were signs like this, the fish catch level would not be lower than level four!
The full strength of her Gold Level physique was used, yet the pressure from the depths of the magma showed no weakness; instead, it grew stronger, causing Li Chun to lose her footing and slide forward.
"Help!"
Seeing this, a girl nearby dropped her fishing rod and shouted, organizing several team members to come over and grab onto the rod Li Chun was holding to exert force together.
It took the combined strength of four or five people just to barely counter the pulling force from below the magma, leading to a deadlock where neither side was willing to let go.
After a full five minutes, the pulling force from the depths of the magma suddenly loosened, the Magic Crystal Fishing Rod straightened, and the fishing line pulled something out of the magma, sending it flying high into the air.
Bang!
The object landed with a muffled thud.
Li Chun and the others looked at each other, surprised to find that what they had fished out from the magma wasn't a live fish, but a metal chest measuring forty centimeters long, thirty centimeters wide, and fifty centimeters high.
[Forgotten Treasure Chest
Level 5
Special Fish Catch
Description: A chest made entirely of Orichalcos, the patterns on its surface seem to possess mysterious effects from a certain race. Opening it may yield random items or, quite likely, be an empty chest.
Value: 200 Points
Note: Only unopened Forgotten Treasure Chests can be exchanged for corresponding points, once opened it becomes worthless.]
"This...what is it, the chance of it being an empty chest is definitely more than seventy percent going by the attributes!" the girl who had called for help earlier said, somewhat disappointed.
Yet Li Chun's eyes sparkled with a different light as she looked at the chest's attributes.
"Not too bad, really. Catching it is already a gain, it's worth two hundred points at least." Another guy came over and placed the chest in front of Li Chun, "Sister Chun, you caught it, you should open it."
Though Li Chun was young, she was close to Li Zheng and also had the surname Li. So within the legion, some people thought Li Chun was either Li Zheng's fellow villager or someone he was interested in, thus they referred to her as 'Sister Chun.'
"I think it's better not to open it, the attributes specifically warn that only unopened chests have value. If it turns out to be an empty chest, we'd just be losing two hundred points for nothing," the girl advised.
"It's only two hundred points," the guy said nonchalantly, "Do you think our Starting Point lacks that bit of points? With the leader's endless means, even if we mess around, taking the first prize in this fishing contest is no problem, right?"
"Oh~~"
Another girl walked over, someone Li Zheng would surely find familiar if he were here because she was one of his teammates who had been to the 'Desert of Exhaustion' instance with him, named Zhang Yue.
Zhang Yue said sarcastically, "Don't know who used to secretly criticize our leader, thinking his popularity was all hype and they could do just as well if they were him."
"What? Changed sides so quickly? Became a little fanboy?"
"I... I didn't, no way it's me!" The guy's face turned red with embarrassment as he denied, "Zhang Yue, don't falsely accuse me, I've always been a fan of our leader!"
"I have screenshots though," Zhang Yue said with a mischievous smile and waved her hand, "Want me to post them in the legion channel for you to see?"
"No!"
The guy was terrified, immediately wilting and pleaded, "Sister Yue, wasn't it just youthful exuberance? How can you take what I said thoughtlessly seriously?"
"Youthful exuberance?"
Zhang Yue patted the guy's shoulder and said earnestly, "That term doesn't suit this context."
"Youthful exuberance should drive you to be enterprising, not arrogant and pompous."
"Oh, and by the way, some people, while young, are not mature in thought, act without considering the consequences, gang up to bully classmates in school, thinking they are impressive and domineering."
"Later, when they enter society and after some harsh experiences, reflect on their past and still describe themselves this way."
"Little do they realize, such behavior isn't truly youthful exuberance; if I had to sum it up in four words... 'not using one's brain' fits better."
As she said this, Zhang Yue's gaze swept over several members of the Starting Point, hinting, "Speaking of which, our Starting Point Legion holding the number one spot on the military rankings does seem a bit like a school bully with some strength, but!"
"If anyone uses the association with Starting Point to show off in front of other players or use its name to oppress others, don't blame me for reporting such matters to the leader and the deputies~"
Since following Li Zheng into the instance, Zhang Yue had gained some footing, and now she had raised her overall strength to the level of newly entering Platinum.
