This was a fairly objective figure, which made Zhou Xiao somewhat tempted.
"Alright, I'll go and complete the mission," Zhou Xiao cleared his throat and agreed.
Watching Zhou Xiao's departing figure, Ji Zi smoothed her fiery red hair.
March...we must seize the opportunity!
She thought for a moment and silently took out her communication device to send a message to March 7th.
...
Right now.
On the snowy plains outside Belloborg Castle within Yalilo VI, March 7th received a message from Himeko. Upon seeing the message, her brows furrowed with joy, and she turned to the two people behind her, saying:
"Zhou Xiao is coming too."
"?" Dan Heng asked, puzzled. "Wasn't he not coming?"
"Maybe... they're worried about us."
On March 7th, he sent a message to Zhou Xiao, preparing to go find him.
After all, if Lost Owl can get lost on a space station, he'd be even more likely to get lost on this unfamiliar snowfield.
However, half a day had passed since the message was sent, and Zhou Xiao had not replied. When she asked Ji Zi again about Zhou Xiao's departure time, it had been at least half an hour.
"That Zhou Xiao... isn't replying to our messages!"
...
Grass.
It is a type of plant.
On the vast snow-covered plain, Zhou Xiao, with a long sword at his waist, gazed at the boundless snowfield and fell into deep thought.
Where did my phone go?
On a vast, white snowfield, he tried to find his phone with its white case, but as you can imagine, he couldn't see it at all.
There was a slight mishap on the train, which pushed him to a coordinate that was further off from his intended location, but he had no idea that the coordinates had shifted.
His cell phone disappeared as soon as he arrived at Yalilo No. 6.
Was it lost on the snowfield, or was it never brought with it at all?
Zhou Xiao pondered for a few seconds.
Losing the phone is a minor issue; the real problem is the browser history and other data stored on it...
It wasn't completely deleted.
"We still need to look for it." Zhou Xiao declared that he wouldn't rest in peace until he completely deleted his browser history...
And so he groped his way across the snowfield, like a gold prospector.
Just then, a group of people wearing thick cotton-padded clothes appeared out of nowhere, about three or five people, also seemingly searching for something on the snowfield.
Upon seeing Zhou Xiao, they instantly became alert, but when they saw him searching for something on the snowfield, they breathed a sigh of relief.
"So you've run into a fellow traveler... but there's only one of you." After confirming that Zhou Xiao was alone, the leader of the group led his men toward Zhou Xiao.
"Dude... how's the market?"
"?"
Upon hearing the voices of outsiders, Zhou Xiao raised an eyebrow and then saw the group of people, led by a burly man with a large beard.
"What's the market like... I'm just looking for something, have you guys seen a white square thing?"
Upon hearing Zhou Xiao's description, the expression on the face of the bearded man's henchman changed slightly.
"Boss... he's not talking about that..."
"It's nothing." The burly man interrupted his underling, then looked at Zhou Xiao and said:
"I didn't see any... The market is really bad lately. My brothers and I searched for ages but couldn't find anything decent."
Something's not right...
Something is very, very wrong.
Zhou Xiao glanced at his underling who was about to say something.
Could it be that they found it?
"Since the market is bad, let's look together." Zhou Xiao happened to need a guide, and he thought these people were quite suitable.
“...”
The bearded man looked Zhou Xiao up and down a few times, guessing that Zhou Xiao probably had some treasures on him, and then nodded enthusiastically.
"Okay, what should I call you, brother?"
"Owl".
"Owl? Alright, Brother Owl, let's search together."
With the bearded man's consent, the group explored the snowfield. During this search for treasure, Zhou Xiao learned that they were a group of treasure hunters from the lower district of Beloborg.
Simply put, it's a group of people who search for ancient artifacts and then sell them to wealthy people who like to collect these artifacts.
In Belleburg, this would be considered illegal... but it certainly made a lot of money.
After searching for a while, the group chose to take shelter from the wind and snow in a secluded snow pit on one side.
"Brother Xiao, you're really resistant to the cold... You're wearing so little, aren't you cold?" The burly man said, clutching his coat and looking at Zhou Xiao's thin clothes.
really...
Zhou Xiao also found it a bit strange. Despite the heavy snow and wind, he didn't feel cold at all; instead, a warm current flowed through his body.
"Boss, boss... that white square thing is gone."
Just as the burly man was about to say something, one of his underlings leaned in and whispered something.
Upon hearing this, the bearded man's expression changed slightly. He then glanced at everyone present, gathered his underlings together, and asked:
Where is the stuff?
"The things have always been on the third brother's person."
"My fourth brother said he wanted to see it, so I showed it to him. He hasn't given it to me yet."
"Hey! Don't talk nonsense. I was going to give it to you after I finished reading it, but my second brother said we were too careless, so he kept it for himself."
"What? I said it was the fourth brother who was careless, and I gave the things to the fifth brother to hold..."
"I...I didn't dare take something so valuable, so I gave it to my third brother..."
The underlings gave conflicting accounts, causing the bearded leader to fall into deep thought.
That thing was one of their few finds today... It was a very beautiful ancient mechanical core, very old and historical, and worth a lot of money.
