Conan: I'm just an ordinary novelist

Chapter 257 Congratulations to the adventurer for obtaining the treasure!

The boat docked safely at the shore.

On the scenic uninhabited island, a flock of birds flew out from the dense jungle, as if inviting the two to come.

"let me see--"

The dried parchment was spread out, and Hiroki came over to look at the map that only had a general direction drawn on it, and was stunned for a moment.

This was not the one he had prepared before.

Hongshu looked at Yun Xianhe for a second longer and felt that the person in front of him was becoming more and more mysterious.

How is it possible to tamper with the control of the system without anyone noticing?

"There's no news about those two people. They only say that they are in the heart of an uninhabited island, near a huge rock. They don't say where they are, and there's not even a detailed map."

Yun Xianhe tapped the ink spot on the paper that was smudged by water, and marked the word "treasure" with an arrow next to it.

All in all it looks very unreliable.

"What should we do first?"

"The first step is to survey the terrain, collect supplies, infer the degree of risk, and determine the direction before moving forward."

Yun Xianhe quickly rolled up the parchment and stuffed it into his pocket, then rubbed Hongshu's head.

The latter rarely behaved in such an intimate manner with others and was obviously stunned.

"Let's go, let's go around the island and collect some supplies."

The brave man raised his hand to his brow and looked at the blue sky:

"It's a very nice day, perfect for adventure! Take action, little adventurer, the treasure won't grow legs and run into your arms."

Yun Xianhe winked at Hongshu teasingly and handed him a small backpack.

Hiroki came to his senses and hurriedly grabbed the backpack, opened it and took a look.

A dagger, a bottle of water, two compressed biscuits, a small bag of candy, rope, simple medical supplies...

Small but complete.

He began to believe that the man in front of him was a brave man. At least he was definitely not a simple heir to a company.

Yun Xianhe also prepared a similar backpack for himself and held a lollipop in his mouth.

She peeled a candy and put it into Hiroki's mouth, then took his hand and headed towards a part of the island.

The two walked one after the other, and no one spoke for a while.

Hongshu glanced at Yun Xianhe, who was casually sketching a topographic map on his notebook, and hesitated:

"Can I ask you some questions?"

"of course."

"How do you like school?"

Hearing this, the brave man tapped his chin with his pen and looked at the wild animals flashing by in the jungle:

"From expectation to indifference."

"really……"

"It's impossible. People in the world cannot understand genius. It's just like adults cannot understand why some children can't even make mistakes in addition and subtraction within ten."

Yun Xianhe shrugged his shoulders, his hands moving non-stop.

Seeing Hongshu lowering his head and wondering what he was thinking, Yun Xianhe raised his hand and tapped his head lightly with the pen:

"You left your consciousness in Noah's system, not to get entangled in such things, right?"

"Ha ha……"

Hiroki smiled dryly.

He looked up at Yun Xianhe beside him, took a deep breath, and tried hard to hold back the tears.

"You're right, I'm here for the adventure!"

"That's a good answer!"

Yun Xianhe praised and handed the map he had drawn to Hongshu.

"half each."

Hearing this, Hiroki smiled and began to observe the surrounding environment carefully.

After circling the island, the two returned to the starting point.

Yun Xianhe took out the parchment and stacked their hand-drawn maps on top of it.

"We're here now."

"To get to the treasure, you need to go through the jungle and find the boulder."

It looks quite simple.

……Simple?

Hiroki, who dodged a python's sneak attack with a dagger, retracted the thoughts in his mind 30 minutes ago.

"Your game, wow!"

Hongshu, who had expertly dodged the python's sneak attack, looked at Yun Xianhe who had kicked the python away. He raised his hand to wipe the dust off his face, and his tone was very confused:

"Is your game really suitable for children?!"

"Hmm--maybe?"

"..."

Looking at Yun Xianhe's uncertain expression, Hongshu's mouth twitched.

In just half an hour, he had evolved from being in a panic to being able to roll and dodge while finding angles to counterattack.

Skilled in making people feel distressed.

The hero shrugged and reached out to remove the leaves from Hiroki's head:

"At least that's what I learned when I was my age."

"...There are so many different ways to cultivate geniuses."

Hearing this, Yun Xianhe laughed out loud mercilessly.

After a while, he looked up at the small piece of sky revealed between the layers of treetops and squinted his eyes:

"Which is more painful: never having it or having it and then losing it?"

Hiroki was stunned when he heard this.

Noah's Ark's processor was running quickly, trying to count all the information about this incident on the Internet, and then give a probability ratio.

However, Hiroki's way of thinking in the system interrupted him.

Yun Xianhe didn't want the other party to give an answer, but just reached out to adjust the other party's dagger holding posture, patiently explaining which posture would save more effort.

The dense jungle is full of dangers, and the world created by Yun Xianhe is not at all within the calculation program of Noah's Ark.

Hiroki, who had originally looked down on this so-called adventure, did not dare to slack off at all.

Of course, the various exotic and beautiful sights in the primitive jungle also feasted his eyes.

"There! I see it!"

A beam of sunlight shines on the exposed boulder, which is surrounded by layers of flowers.

This small piece of open space looks particularly out of place in the dense jungle.

Hiroki, who was already familiar with the routine, did not step directly into the flowers.

He first looked around the entire bush, and after carefully confirming that there were no signs of any wild animal activity around, he cautiously approached the boulder.

"puff,"

“…What are you laughing at?”

"Sorry, sorry, there are no traps here."

"Really?"

Looking at Yun Xianhe walking over with a swagger, Hongshu hesitated for a moment and followed him.

A small stone box sits behind the boulder, surrounded by flowers.

"Is this a success?"

Hiroki looked at the stone box and felt a little confused.

"This is the first treasure you found through your own wisdom, courage, and hard work."

Thinking back on the adventurer skills he had learned along the way under Yun Xianhe's guidance, Hongshu was stunned.

Yun Xianhe behind him patted his shoulder lightly, leaned over and whispered in his ear:

"Don't you want to open it and see what's inside?"

Hearing this, Hiroki squatted down and opened the moss-covered stone box.

Unexpectedly, there were no gold nuggets or gems inside, but only a piece of parchment and a piece of strange-shaped debris.

Hiroki looked around at the strange stone and reached out to take out the parchment.

"'You who found this place, do you think you are a lucky guy? You can easily get the treasure I buried? Hahaha, it's just wishful thinking,'"

The words written on the paper were full of irony.

Hongshu was stunned for a moment, then looked helplessly at Yun Xianhe behind him:

"Mr. Xianhe."

The brave man looks at the sky, the earth, and his own hands.

Then, as if he had thought of something, he leaned over and grabbed a handful of branches, neatly weaved them into a wreath, and solemnly put it on Hiroki.

"Congratulations to our adventurer for finding the first treasure key fragment!"

boom!

The small fireworks that were set off sprayed out colorful strips and sequins.

Hongshu blew away the piece of paper that had fallen on his nose, and looked at Yun Xianhe who was laughing happily, feeling a little amused:

"So, do we need to go far?"

"The adventure journey is very long. But don't worry about the time. The speed of time in our game is different from that of others."

After hearing this, Hiroki paused and continued to look at the parchment in his hand patiently.

Forget it, just play with this guy for a while longer, since he is the same kind as Hiroki.

This is to fulfill Hiroki's wish.

"Let me see... 'If you want to get my treasure, set sail, coward. Only souls that have experienced the trials of the ocean can find the second key fragment under the guidance of the North Star.' Pirate world?"

Hearing this, Yun Xianhe waved his hand:

"We are adventurers, not pirates."
