Chapter 87 Golden Treasure Chest
"Based on the information we've gathered so far, this is highly likely." Hagiwara rarely showed a wry smile, and said helplessly, "After all, even if it's a civilization with more advanced technology than our planet..."
"Upon discovering our planet, unless they possess superdimensional power and are confident they can completely overwhelm it, they will definitely first investigate whether our technological level poses a threat to them before taking any action."
"Eh!" Upon hearing Hagiwara's words, Kazehoshi's eyes lit up, a flash of inspiration crossing his mind, and he excitedly said, "If that's really the case, it actually means another possibility."
If the other side really started spreading the road game on our planet at least 18 years ago, and only started holding the road game this year after confirming that our planet was no longer a threat to them, then it has taken more than 7 years.
The other side had a general understanding of our planet's civilization from the beginning, and waited at least 7 years before taking action. Does this mean that despite their amazing technology in our eyes, their actual level of civilization is not as high as we imagine?
"Would they only act cautiously because they might be threatened by weapons our planet could potentially develop and create? And then, once they've confirmed there's no threat, they recklessly hold these kinds of games?"
Moreover, when I died, I saw the comments on the screen, and the tone of those viewers didn't have the refinement one would expect from a higher-dimensional civilization. Instead, it sounded just like the way people on this planet talk after watching the show.
This might suggest that the audience isn't as invincible as they thought, and that their own world's technological level could potentially threaten the other side.
But it seems they haven't developed any technology that could threaten them, which is why they feel safe capturing humans to become 'players'? If that's the case, then our people should still have a chance to fight back.
Hearing what Fengxingshou said, Hagiwara and Matsuda's eyes lit up, and they wanted to discuss it. However, when they glanced at the game notification screen next to Fengxingshou's side view, which was still open, they swallowed back the words that were about to come out.
Then, after giving the Wind Star Guardian a wink, he said, "Well! In any case, it has nothing to do with us ordinary folks. Let the big shots from all the countries worry about this!"
"Heh... I'm more interested in the rewards I got today. This is the first time I've ever gotten a golden treasure chest. I wonder what kind of reward is inside!" Hagiwara said with a light laugh, then winked at Kaze Seishu.
Feng Xingshou realized from their inconsistent words and actions that they must be under the game's surveillance while on the highway, and immediately cooperated by moving the golden treasure chest that had appeared behind the driver's seat at some unknown time.
He pretended to be very excited and said, "Oh right! I almost forgot about the reward we just got. We've opened several silver treasure chests already, but this is our first time opening a gold treasure chest. I wonder what's inside? Also, the gold treasure chest is so big, I wonder if I can move it?"
She was initially worried that she wouldn't be able to move the half-cubic-meter-sized golden treasure chest, and was thinking that if she couldn't move it, she could just open it there. However, she didn't expect that the golden treasure chest, which looked big, was actually very light.
This made her initially feigned excitement and curiosity turn into genuine curiosity, even though she knew the actual items inside the game's treasure chest.
It has absolutely nothing to do with its own size and weight.
She couldn't help but wonder what kind of decent reward such a light treasure chest could offer. With this in mind, she pushed the golden treasure chest in front of Hagiwara, Matsuda, and the others.
.
In fact, when she went to move the golden treasure chest, Hagiwara and Matsuda had already followed her, but they did not help her move the golden treasure chest. Such behavior of watching a woman move a large object might not be very gentlemanly.
However, in the game, golden treasure chests are valuable items. The Japanese people's sense of distance and etiquette mean that they would not touch other people's valuable items if the Wind Star Guardian invited them. So at this moment, the three of them took a few steps and then reunited.
Without thinking much about it, Feng Xingshou saw that they had arrived and immediately took out a crowbar from his backpack and asked the two of them, "Do you two want to try opening the chest? This time it's a golden treasure chest! There must be something amazing inside."
"No!"
"You should open it!" Given their luck, even if they were to open it, the gold treasure chest would likely yield better items than the silver treasure chest, and the reward they would probably be the worst among the gold treasure chests.
-_-|| Moreover, after experiencing the dungeon just now, they felt that among the five members of the Sakura Group during their police academy days, apart from the two of them, the class president and Morofushi were also very unlucky. The only one with good luck was probably Furuya!
Since the two of them had only tried opening the treasure chest once when they first arrived, and then kept the treasure chests for themselves every time, Feng Xingshou didn't refuse and simply used the crowbar to aim at the golden treasure chest and choose to open it.
The next second, accompanied by a flash of golden light, the golden treasure chest disintegrated into various items before disappearing in front of them. At the same time, they saw the game announcement screen automatically pop up again:
[Announcement: Congratulations to Feng Xing Shou for opening the Golden Treasure Chest! You have obtained 1 Level 1 Mental Awakening Potion, 1 Level 2 Universal Vehicle Parts Upgrade Blueprint, 1 Level 2 Universal Vehicle Soft Furnishings Upgrade Blueprint, 10 Units of 40-Year-Old Aged Baijiu, 10 Units of Steamed Lobster King, 10 Units of Durian King, 80 Electronic Components, 200 Fine Steel, 200 Units of Fuel, and 10 Units of Gold.]
[Hint: A universal vehicle parts upgrade blueprint has been found. Do you want to use it? Yes? No?]
[Tip: A general interior design upgrade blueprint has been found. Do you want to use it? Yes? No?]
"So many rewards? No wonder it's a golden treasure chest!"
"A total of 10 kinds! Just reading the announcement makes it seem quite exaggerated."
"What's even more outrageous is the size of these durians and lobsters. This is the first time I've ever seen them so big. Each durian looks bigger than five high-quality durians from a supermarket. And these lobsters, they seem bigger than the king crabs in the glass tanks at the seafood market."
"This is amazing! No wonder he's called the Lobster King and the Durian King!" Hagiwara, Matsuda, and Kazesei exclaimed in unison upon seeing the game announcement.
However, after Feng Xingshou finished speaking, he kept looking at the game announcements and then at the 10 rewards on the floor, especially the 10 durians that were bigger than 20-liter buckets and were emitting a strong stench.
She hesitated for a few seconds before hurriedly taking out a storage box, saying as she opened it, "Let's put these durian kings away first, this is good."
It tastes good, but judging by its overpowering smell, if we leave it in the car for a while, our car will probably be ruined.
.
"Haha... It seems you're the kind of person who can eat durian but can't stand the smell of it!" After hearing her say that, Matsuda simply helped her put the durian king into the storage box while laughing at her.
Upon hearing this, Feng Xingshou quickly explained, "It's not that I can't stand the smell, but I don't like the smell of this kind of fruit before it's been roasted, which has a particularly strong odor. However, even if the fruit in the supermarket smells strong, I don't have any adverse reactions. By the way, what about you guys?"
Hagiwara, who was also helping to pack the durian king, chuckled and replied, "Heh... I have the same taste as Fuu-chan! I like to eat roasted durian, but I'm not very tolerant of its smell. I don't like it, but my body can tolerate it and I won't have any adverse reactions."
"Hagi is a fan of sweet soy sauce and doesn't really like salty or spicy flavors. He always enjoys soft and sweet foods like this." It's just that prices in Japan are already high, and fruit is even more expensive. The price of durian has reached a point where ordinary people can't afford it, so they don't eat durian very often.
"Sweet soy sauce?" Isn't that usually more popular with women? Feng Xingshou, being from the north, has a preference for strong flavors, but since her job is related to food, she has personally tasted all kinds of seasonings.
Since men from the south generally prefer sweet flavors, while men from other regions generally prefer stronger flavors, it's hard to imagine that Hagiwara would also like sweet flavors.
Moreover, the meals I prepared were all seasoned to my own taste, and he ate them without a single complaint. -_-|| Did I make him eat food that didn't suit his taste for several days?
Hagiwara noticed that her arched eyebrows were almost furrowed as she packed away the storage box containing the durian king, and couldn't help but wonder, "What's wrong with sweet soy sauce? I like this flavor, don't you?"
Uh! How do we solve this taste problem?
"No! I just think you're being too formal. We've known each other for so many days and you haven't told me what your favorite flavors are. I've been making strong-flavored dishes according to my own taste, and I'm amazed you can eat them. I'll start preparing sweeter dishes from now on."
"Don't be so formal, just tell me if there's anything you don't like!" Feng Xingshou didn't hide her thoughts, speaking her mind directly. Then, still not entirely at ease, she added to Matsuda, "By the way, Matsuda, tell me what flavors you like too, don't be shy with me."
As a northerner, Feng Xingshou was particularly concerned about not being able to entertain guests well in terms of food, and couldn't help but ask Matsuda about it.
"Haha... I don't need you to prepare anything special." Matsuda laughed a few times when he heard her say that, and explained directly: "Because we have similar tastes, we both like strong flavors. The level of liking for sweets that most people have is different from that of Hagi, who has a sweet tooth! From now on, you can just season the food according to your own taste."
"Oh!" Feng Xingshou breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Matsuda's preferences, finally managing to save the person he'd brought along, who had unwittingly caused trouble, from having to endure eating something he didn't like. -_-||
Hagiwara glanced at his childhood friend with a sense of sullenness, feeling inexplicably defeated in this aspect.
Seeing his gaze, Matsuda returned a mocking half-moon look, but inwardly he couldn't help but think, "Hagi is so picky about even the slightest difference in taste; he's so petty when it comes to love..."
