Treasure Hunting System： The Ocean Conquerer

No wonder the fame is 12,000.

With Lucilia’s understanding of Alka, the fact that Alka inexplicably ran to the Great Library to specifically search for this single piece of information is self-evident.

”Did you find information related to the World Key?” Lucilia couldn’t help but ask.

Alka nodded: ”That’s right, it should be a crown-level treasure.”

”Hmm... Just a key is a crown-level treasure?”

”According to mythology and what’s written in the book before you, it merely possesses the ability to open the Treasure Vault.

Beyond that, there is no further description, yet it is actually a crown-level treasure.”

Lucilia was also somewhat surprised.

At this moment, Alka pulled out the map again and clicked on the red dot once more.

This time, he was sure to gather more information.

[World Key]

[Difficulty: Chaos Digging (Ninth Stage)]

[Fame: 12,000]

[Treasure Information: Forged by the world, capable of opening the world’s Treasure Vault, a gift from the world.

Inside contains treasures belonging to the world.

Legend says once opened, the key will disappear, heading to a new place, waiting for the next individual capable of opening the treasure.

The world is broken, suffering, and in deep sleep; the vault has long been destroyed, and the key is also of no use. It seems everything is like this.

Reality is divided in two, one part remains in reality, the other sinks into the dream realm.

To obtain treasures one must excavate the area sunk into the dream realm, shifting the area in reality to overlap.

The world’s Treasure Vault, once created beside the world’s core, might now be the final lifeline.] (Perfect)

The treasure information reached perfection directly.

But the most important information on how to obtain the treasure, Alka was the first to know, so whether it is perfect doesn’t matter much.

Its purpose was to let Alka know what the event key represents.

Able to open the door to the world’s Treasure Vault.

...World’s Treasure Vault.

Just hearing the name, one can tell how exaggerated the contents inside, but the information that followed was like pouring cold water on Alka.

Which means the current World Key and Treasure Vault are no longer like the Golden Era, having mythical-like effects.

Because of the world’s fracture, sleeping painfully, both have already changed almost lost their inherent function.

So, is this the reason why this treasure was hidden away, owned by no one?

Alka couldn’t help but ponder, but without any dissent or any information to corroborate.

But what bothers him most is the last statement.

Last lifeline?

After sorting his thoughts, Alka decided not to think more, as there’s no meaning in being indecisive.

Whether it’s the dream realm or reality, they do not meet the requirements, thinking more just adds to the worries.

...

Time flowed swiftly, Alka accepted some information sent by Jason and the others, analyzed treasure points again through the information, and fed back the newly expanded information to Jason and the others.

Just like back then.

And Alka and the others finally anticipated the arrival of the gem they had ordered.

At this moment, it was inside the underground laboratory.

Tense experiments were underway inside.

A gigantic gemstone, approximately the size of an adult’s head, floated in the center.

Surrounded by numerous mechanical structures, it was fixed in place.

Alka, his eyes open, wielding a carving pen, was carving something on the diamond.

The engravings didn’t imprint on the surface of the gemstone but onto its interior.

Simon controlled the machinery, surrounded by numerous Vastva scholars monitoring various spots.

Alka manipulated meticulously, sweat streaming down his forehead, he couldn’t afford any mistakes.

Innovative engravings of magic power and some materials entered the gemstone via the carving pen.

Then, upon completion, the gemstone began functioning and spinning.

It seemed close to completion.

”Crack!”

Suddenly, the sound of shattering.

The gemstone fixed in the center directly formed a crack, extending to the surface.

Watching this crack, Alka took a deep breath and let the carving pen fall heavily.

”Failed.”

Seeing this, Simon also began transferring data: ”Adjust the data to analyze the reasons, transfer the recent energy data for planning.”

With these orders, the scholars who were still in shock immediately carried out the task.

Upon detailed examination, Simon regretfully shook his head.

This news is even heavier than failure.

”Still, the material isn’t adequate, fundamentally unable to withstand complete magic gathering structure. Now, even the most basic structure can’t endure, not to mention the further adjustments and addition of more elements needed later.

The material greatly falls short of our desired standards.”

As Simon leaned heavily against the wall, uncertain of his thoughts.

This was supposedly the strongest gemstone they could think of that meets their requirements.

Surely there are harder materials, but those wouldn’t be gemstones, failing to meet the standards for forming a Magic Gathering Stone.

The atmosphere within the laboratory grew exceptionally heavy.

This wasn’t merely due to experiment setbacks, but the failure of this project meant it might stagnate permanently.

Finding suitable items isn’t so easy.

No matter if they consider their methods incorrect or their design flawed, that at least propels them to work harder.

”Everyone take a rest, organize the current data properly.”

Alka stated.

Quietly departing the laboratory.

Simon remained against the wall, pondering silently.

Observing the two, the scholars could only quietly organize materials, act accordingly.

Anyone with a bright mind knows that this project might halt for a long period.

Whether it’s finding solutions or acquiring new materials, significant time would be needed for preparation.

Alka left the laboratory, returned to his room, tossing several treasures into the dream realm.

These were all from the forces providing the gemstone and other materials.

In return, Alka needed to replan these treasures.

Looking at the outside sky, night had already descended.

Tonight, a bright, white full moon hung high in the sky.

Stars twinkled around.

Without the Star River, rare dark night with the moon.

Gazing at this moon.

Alka left the Return City.

Heading towards this wilderness.

On such a night, Chadite should be there.
