Yu Wenliang seemed oblivious to the anger of the crowd. He just slowly wiped the dagger at his waist with a scornful smile on his lips.
"Come or not! There are plenty of people begging me to lead the way! If you don't want to, there will naturally be people who know what you're talking about. This opportunity only comes once!"
After saying that, he deliberately glanced at Lu Ye and added sarcastically.
"Some people might be stubborn now, but they might end up crying and begging for supplies later! After all, this spooky Easter egg window won't wait!"
On the "Genesis", Liao Qingyue frowned slightly, and a look of disgust was revealed on her face without any concealment.
She moved closer to Lu Ye and lowered her voice.
"Boss Lu, don't bother with people like that. Area B is full of treasure hunters, and they're the type of people who are so self-righteous. Anyone with real talent would have quietly made a fortune long ago, and wouldn't be shouting about it like him."
As soon as Liao Qingyue finished speaking, Ye Nan's eyes flickered a few times, and he took a step forward, speaking with a hint of tentativeness in his voice.
"Boss Lu, that Yuwen Liang is just a showman, don't take him seriously. If you need help finding treasure, I have a little gadget that might be of use to you."
Lu Ye raised his eyebrows and became interested.
Treasure hunting props?
His heart moved slightly.
Although his predictive skills are powerful, they are more of a passive trigger of danger or a vague sense of a certain fragment of the future.
If you can actively cooperate with treasure hunting abilities or props, it will be like adding wings to a tiger. In this survival game full of dangers, it is undoubtedly a powerful weapon.
It seems that Ye Nan really wants to cling to me and is willing to even take out his most valuable possessions.
"Oh? Take it out and let me see." Lu Ye's tone was flat, but it carried an unquestionable meaning.
Upon hearing this, Ye Nan felt as if he had been pardoned. He quickly and carefully took out a palm-sized cage from his arms. The mouth of the cage was covered with a small piece of rag, which looked quite mysterious.
"Boss Lu, this is a treasure-hunting beast that I happened to come across."
Ye Nan's voice sounded a little weak, as if he wasn't so convinced about the effectiveness of this "treasure-hunting beast".
Lu Ye took the cage and handled it gently.
He pulled back the rag and looked inside—
At the bottom of the cage, there was a gray, furry little creature curled up and shivering.
"This is..." Lu Ye gently shook the cage downwards, and the little thing rolled out with a gurgle and fell on the deck.
Everyone looked closely and was stunned.
It turned out to be a fat groundhog!
It was about a foot long, with a round body and short legs. Its two front paws were holding a shriveled berry that it had gotten from somewhere.
"Pfft--" Even though Lu Ye had extraordinary self-control, he almost laughed out loud at this moment, but then he took a breath and his eyes became a little strange.
Holy shit! Why does this thing look so familiar?
Various groundhog emoticons he had seen on the Internet in his previous life flashed through his mind, especially the classic "Ah——" scream.
This sudden sense of familiarity made Lu Ye feel inexplicably absurd.
"Ahem," Lu Ye cleared his throat, suppressing the urge to complain. He bent down, picked up the frightened groundhog, and casually put it on the deck, pointing to the depths of the fog with a somewhat joking tone.
"Go, little thing, find some treasures for me. If I find any, I'll give you a snack."
However, after the groundhog was put on the ground, instead of moving towards the fog, it ran to Lu Ye's feet, hugged his combat boots tightly with its two front paws, and rubbed its little head on his trouser leg, with a rogue look of "I'm dependent on you", and did not move.
“…” The corners of Lu Ye’s mouth twitched slightly.
What's going on?
Or did you recognize your master?
"Ye Nan!" Seeing this, Su Baiyue's eyebrows raised and her eyes widened, she was already a little angry.
"How dare you tease our Boss Lu with something like this! I think you're tired of living!"
She turned her wrist and a sharp short blade was in her hand, flashing with cold light, obviously she was really angry.
In her opinion, the groundhog's behavior was clearly Ye Nan making fun of them.
"Don't! Miss Su, calm down! Boss Lu, calm down!"
Ye Nan was so frightened that he waved his hands repeatedly, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"It...it's not usually like this! It really can find treasure!"
Lu Ye waved his hand to stop Su Baiyue.
He looked down at the naughty groundhog at his feet, but his heart gradually became lively.
Wait... this little thing doesn't go looking for treasure, but instead relies on me?
A possibility suddenly occurred to him.
On the entire 'Genesis', the most valuable and luckiest person is me, the human-shaped koi, right?
Could it be that it sensed my 'luck value' or something else?
If this is true, then this groundhog really has some tricks up his sleeve!
Seeing that Lu Ye didn't get angry immediately, Ye Nan quickly added, but his voice became smaller and smaller, with a hint of guilt.
"Boss Lu, you can give it instructions, and it will understand. But its treasure-hunting ability is sometimes unstable, and what it finds may be good or bad. It all depends on luck..."
At the end of his words, he almost didn't dare to look Lu Ye in the eye.
Apparently, the groundhog's performance often disappointed him.
Lu Ye's mind moved, and he directly opened his system panel to check the properties of this groundhog.
