Treasure Hunting System： The Ocean Conquerer

Alka’s voice came through.

Juanlu wasted no time, pulling his weapon from the Pocket Ring and throwing it directly into the orange-red light cluster.

The orange-red light cluster mixed with the surrounding Magic Power, merging with the Bat.

The Bat trembled during this transformation, and its shape began to change accordingly.

No one had ever seen such a sight. However, from their recent conversation, They roughly understood what this situation represented, and They all watched intently.

This was a rare opportunity.

The originally slender and smooth Bat grew stout. It then transformed into a Bat as thick as a forearm and quickly extended to over two meters in length.

No longer was a single sphere floating at its top; instead, three orange-red spheres now surrounded it. Each sphere displayed a large mouth filled with sharp teeth. It left no doubt that it could crush anything.

Red patterns were imprinted on the Bat, forming several grooves that ran straight down its length. Just by its appearance, one could tell this was no ordinary item. Indeed, this thing had evidently become a Treasure.

Juanlu simply watched as he extended his hand to grip the Bat. As he grasped it, Magic Power surged into the Bat, causing it to tremble and then emit a glow that also enveloped Juanlu.

A feeling of hunger began to emanate outwards. They all felt somewhat hungry, but that was the extent of it. Alka, with his strong soul and mental defenses, didn’t even feel the hunger.

They had witnessed such situations many times before; Juanlu was now taking control of the Treasure.

The process was swift and didn’t take much time.

Juanlu now held the Treasure completely in his hand, swinging it about with ease. This was probably the first weapon-shaped Treasure on the ship.

Strangely enough, despite seeing so many Treasures, the only one explicitly related to weaponry was the Holy Mother’s Sword of Love. All other Treasures came in various forms. And this particular Treasure, which looked like a weapon, was one They had designed themselves.

Alka and Simon were deep in thought. After all, They had just witnessed a brand new Treasure being created from nothing before their very eyes. Such a sight was something most people would never witness in their lifetime—a truly rare and precious opportunity. Yet, They might get to see it many more times, considering They hadn’t even begun their own challenges. They also wondered if the weapon form, being their own design, would affect the Treasure’s abilities in any way.

”Does this Treasure have any abilities?” Simon asked from the side, his eyes full of curiosity.

Juanlu nodded, looking at the Bat in his hand with relative satisfaction. He said, ”See these three spheres with mouths on them? They can consume any object. What they eat gets digested and transferred to me. The feedback I receive varies depending on what’s consumed; I’ll have to research that myself to understand it fully. My own mouth has a similar function, but the effects are even better and can potentially be permanent.”

Upon hearing this, those nearby were somewhat surprised. This was clearly a Treasure capable of fostering growth. Though its initial effects might not be very noticeable, the enhancements would become greater over time, as the benefits from consumed items could potentially be permanently retained. Obviously, the better the items consumed, the better the effects would be. The specific manifestations, however, remained to be seen.

”This thing really suits you,” Jason said with a smile from the side. ”Don’t underestimate Juanlu; he’s someone with an activated bloodline and a hearty appetite. If he really let himself go, he could eat more than Pororo and digest it quickly. Not to mention, in this challenge, he didn’t just obtain a Treasure; he also fully activated his own bloodline. And it’s strongly correlated with his Treasure. Their synergy could bring about even greater changes.”

Hearing Jason’s words, Juanlu nodded happily; this Treasure indeed suited him well. He watched as the Bat in his hand merged directly into his body, leaving only the three spheres floating outside.

”It seems you have a great affinity with this Treasure, to have mastered it so directly,” Alka remarked from the side.

Juanlu nodded and explained, ”Well, a similar bloodline flows in me. There’s certainly a boost from that.”

Regardless, everyone was very happy that Juanlu had obtained a Treasure so well-suited to him, and a powerful one at that.

「...」

It wasn’t long before Matilda appeared on the Teleportation Array. Her equipment and clothes looked somewhat damaged, but there were no visible wounds on her body; it seemed she had treated herself before coming out. However, her facial expression clearly showed she was still mentally weary.

”Are you alright? Is anything wrong?”

Matilda shook her head. ”Don’t worry, it’s nothing major. I just need a good rest.”

A pink mist drifted over, wrapping around Matilda. Then, They watched as she closed her eyes, supported by the pink mist as she drifted into Deep Sleep.

”Her spirit is too exhausted,” Alka explained. ”I will forcibly draw her into the deep Dream Realm so she can recover her mind quickly.”
