“What is this?”
Wen Yu picked up the golden pointer, examining the patterns and lines on it with curiosity.
The lines were quite regular; however, with Wen Yu's understanding and knowledge of the apocalypse, this object had already exceeded the scope of what he knew in his previous life.
If Guan Tao and the others saw this pointer, they would surely shout out, for this item was the key to opening the treasure land!
“What exactly is this thing?”
Wen Yu felt that this item must be some kind of treasure, but unfortunately, even holding it in his hand, there was no hint or notification sound appearing in his mind.
The door creaked open, and Sun Ruixing walked in.
While observing the pointer, Wen Yu spoke without turning his head, “Have you arranged everything? These three level 1 magic crystals are your gains.”
Sun Ruixing was not being pretentious at all; he picked up the magic crystals beside Wen Yu and directly absorbed them.
In fact, the relationship between Wen Yu and Sun Ruixing had already begun to resemble that of comrades! If Sun Ruixing's character could be further refined, Wen Yu really wouldn’t mind having such a reliable person by his side!
“What’s that?”
Sun Ruixing gestured with his mouth towards the pointer in Wen Yu's hand.
“I don’t know; you can study it.”
Wen Yu casually handed the pointer to Sun Ruixing and turned his head to look at Sun Aotian, who was sprawled on the ground and making gestures.
This kid, picking up a gun, was directly playing SWAT cosplay!
Wen Yu covered his forehead, unable to bear watching Sun Aotian contort awkwardly on the ground, and shouted at him.
“Get up quickly, pack your things, we’re going back to the camp.”
“Oh.”
Sun Aotian pouted, obviously not satisfied with the play, but he didn’t say much and directly tore down the curtains to roll up the weapons on the floor.
“Let’s go.”
Seeing that Sun Aotian had only packed less than half of the weapons, Wen Yu turned and walked downstairs.
“Wait, I think I’ve found something!”
Before the group reached the stairs, Sun Ruixing shouted.
“Wen Yu, look quickly, this is a pointer! The direction it points to is not far from us!”
After saying that, Sun Ruixing quickly walked to Wen Yu’s side and handed over the pointer in his hand.
Wen Yu then examined the dial on the pointer.
It could be said that in his two lives, Wen Yu had become overly reliant on the notification sounds in his mind regarding the apocalypse. He only thought about the hints from the sovereign and had never considered discovering anything from the nature of the objects themselves!
Now, upon closer inspection, he noticed that as the group moved, the direction of the pointer on the dial was constantly changing.
“This is the first time I’ve seen something like this; it’s quite interesting.”
Wen Yu smiled slightly and placed the pointer into the Spatial Ring.
“Let’s head back to the camp first; tomorrow I’ll take you to see what this thing really means.”
Although Wen Yu was a bit intrigued about the pointer’s function, there were too many burdens right now. Not to mention that Sun Aotian was loaded with weapons, but the “food” they had just rescued also couldn’t be easily abandoned!
In the face of the unknown, it was best to have some cannon fodder to scout the way and test for traps; that was Wen Yu's ultimate goal.
...
Upon returning to the camp, Wen Yu didn’t even need to mention the pointer; Sun Aotian, who had a big mouth, had already revealed that Wen Yu was going to explore for treasure the next day.
“Brother Wen Yu, do you think we can bring a few more people tomorrow?”
Zang Pengfei asked hesitantly, directly handing over two level 2 attributeless magic crystals.
“Of course, that’s no problem!”
Wen Yu accepted the magic crystals from Zang Pengfei, noticing the pained expression on his face. He directly absorbed them, raising his physical attributes to 42 points.
“But let me make it clear: if there really is any treasure, what I can use will be mine; what I can’t use is yours!”
