Episode 15 – The Treasure Chapter 31 – Fortune and Woe
Olivia and her group, twelve in all, entered the dining room and chose three round tables to sit around in the corner of the restaurant.
“Captain. You got an amethyst. Don’t be stingy.”
Someone opened his mouth and shouted.
“The usual rules!” The bearded captain at the head of the group laughed. “One bottle of Nosferatu for each person. If you want to drink more, buy it yourself.”
Immediately, that bearded captain shouted. “Feed, hurry up. Give us twelve bottles of Nossha!” Nossha, which was also considered a relatively good wine, required ten inkstones for one bottle, and twelve bottles would be one hundred and twenty inkstones.
Usually whoever among them got an amethyst would treat themselves to a celebration. After all. Gathering amethyst crystals requires luck. If you are lucky, you can get one in a few days. With bad luck, you won’t get one even in a thousand years.
Grabbing the wine bottle. Olivia took a sip. Her brow was frowning slightly.
“It’s been almost thirty years. Not a single amethyst has been obtained yet!” Olivia’s heart was troubled. Tilting her head, she took another large sip.
Coming to hell. Olivia was lucky at first. Reaching the Median God realm and raising 10,000 inkstones to participate in the Demon Examination. He was also lucky enough to pass and become a one-star demon, but he didn’t expect to take on a mission for the first time. He failed.
And. In the panic of fleeing. Also and good friend Batchelor unintentionally separated.
Olivia was with Batchelor at first. Worked hard to gather the fees to take the Demon Exam. Then they took the mission. But the first mission was a failure. In fact. Olivia didn’t have any income at all. After the mission failed. He only had a few hundred ink stones on him.
Relying on a few hundred ink stones, you want to go back to the city? Dream on! Fortunately. At that time, the mission location was not far from the Amethyst Mountain Range. He had also heard of this place, so he carefully spent several years. After secretly arriving here. According to the agreement, those who can’t pay 5,000 ink stones. They must pay three amethysts when they go out.
“Let’s not talk about three amethysts. I don’t even have one right now. It’s been almost thirty years.”
The more Olivia thought about it, the harder it became. Tilting her head back, she drank more than half of that large bottle of wine in one gulp, “In this hellish place. It’s also impossible to take on a mission.”
Want to go back safely. Must earn enough money.
To earn money. For Olivia, who was only a Medium God nowadays. One could only choose to gather amethyst.
“Olivia. Feeding. We didn’t get this one amethyst. You’re not the only one.”
Someone from the side spoke, “Don’t be discouraged. Last time, we didn’t run into that unlucky guy, who hadn’t collected a single one in ten thousand years at one point.”
Olivia tried to squeeze out a smile.
He had to get along with these people.
Collecting amethyst in this Amethyst Mountain Range. It wasn’t a safe place either. This was not a city after all! In the Amethyst Mountains. If someone is lucky. If someone is lucky and gets a bunch of amethyst crystals at once, it’s normal for many people to kill each other and take each other’s treasures, so many Mediate Gods will form small gangs.
Olivia and the twelve of them were a small gang, at least, they could protect themselves.
Tens of thousands of miles away from where Olivia was. Linley and the four of them were at the edge of the Sea of Mist. Linley and the others hadn’t come to collect amethyst, they had just come to admire it.
“Zhan Jin. You don’t need to follow us either, go collect amethysts on your own, we’ll wander around this Amethyst Mountain Range for a day or two. We’ll probably leave.”
Linley turned his head around and glanced at Zhan Jin. Casually, he said.
Zhan Jin was grateful to Linley and the others.
“Mr. Linley, I really don’t know how to repay the three of you for your great kindness to me, Zhan Jin, not to mention. After you guys leave. I don’t know when I’ll be able to see you again, and this gathering of amethyst is simply a matter of chance. Perhaps, with Mr. Linley and the rest of you, I’ll even be able to collect amethysts.”
Zhan Jin joked.
“Kid, not bad. Righteous enough.”
Bebe pretended to be mature and patted Zhan Jin on the shoulder.
Linley smiled and nodded, “Alright then, then I’ll accompany you to collect amethysts as well. I’ll see. In the next day or two, can I get lucky. Get an amethyst.”
White fog filled the air, and Linley looked at the endless white fog in front of him, “Let’s go, let’s go inside the white fog. Everyone remember. Never pay attention to looking outside. Ensure that you can see outside.”
Said. Linley, Delia, Bebe, and Zhan Jin then flew into the white fog.
Linley looked at the white fog in surprise: “This white fog. It’s so clear and shocking.”
The white fog had a very low temperature. It touched his skin. It was like ice.
But Linley and the others didn’t care.
“Boss. Hurry up.”
Bebe was actually walking backwards while his eyes were looking out, “I can still see out, keep going-“
Bebe playfully kept flying towards the inside, and naturally, Linley and the others followed suit.
Everyone was flying at a very slow speed. It was only when they had flown about eighty meters. Linley and the others couldn’t help but stop.
“Eh? How bizarre!” Linley couldn’t help but frown.
“Hohoho~” in this boundless white mist, there was surprisingly a very faint sound of wind, but even with the faint sound of wind, Linley felt his head begin to feel a wave of dizziness. Linley shook his head violently, struggling to maintain so much as a trace of lucidity.
Delia and Bebe were also trying to stay awake.
That Zhan Jin, on the other hand, was already a little dizzy at the moment, unable to discern his direction. Linley immediately grabbed him and immediately backed away some.
Only then could Zhan Jin stay awake. Once awake, Zhan Jin was startled: “What just happened? Just now, I heard the sound of ‘whirring’ wind. Then I felt the sky spinning. The whole person is disoriented.”
Zhan Jin also felt shocked and terrified.
“This sea of fog. It’s not normally weird.”
Bebe tsked in admiration.
“Linley. Let’s be careful, we’re just here to take a look. Not looking to collect amethyst, so don’t get into any accidents.”
Delia said as she even pulled on Linley’s hand.
Linley held Delia’s hand and looked at Delia’s worried eyes. Having experienced the Golden Magma Lake that time. Linley didn’t want Delia to experience danger anymore either. Immediately, he smiled and nodded, “Don’t worry, we won’t be going any deeper into this foggy sea.”
“Feeding. A few.”
Suddenly a short turquoise-haired strong man flew over. Laughing, he said, “You guys can be careful, don’t get stuck in. Can’t get out.”
“This brother.”
That Zhan Jin smiled and said, “I’m curious about one thing, how is it that when you reach the depths of this Sea of Mist. Can’t get out? If I place my doppelganger outside, I’m inside. I can sense the direction and location of my bilocation. Wouldn’t it be possible to come out directly?” Linley heard this. He couldn’t help but have his eyes light up.
It made sense.
By keeping the doppelganger outside, at least it wouldn’t get disoriented, and there shouldn’t be any problems.
“Feeding. You don’t want to ask me. I’m not sure, no matter how much is said. Facts work best.”
That turquoise-colored short-haired strong man ridiculed and laughed, “If you’re not afraid, you can completely put the split body outside, and try to go in by your own body, but wherever I’ve heard of, as long as you go in. No one has been able to come out alive. No matter what method is used.”
That turquoise colored short hair strong man finished, “Well, several people, wish you good luck.”
With that, the short turquoise-haired strong man flew off into the distance.
Linley turned his head and looked at the endless white mist in front of him again.
Suddenly Linley was stunned, “Hehe, that’s-“
Only to see a purple light rapidly fly out in the distance, Linley immediately moved across and with a single move of his hand, he took that purple light into his hands. It was none other than an amethyst, and Linley couldn’t help but smile.
Unexpectedly. He had been so lucky.
“Boss, is that an amethyst?” Bebe and the others immediately approached over as well.
“Right. Zhanjin. Here you go.”
Linley casually threw that amethyst to Zhan Jin, nowadays Linley was in possession of a large number of amethysts. Nor did he care about this one or two amethysts.
Zhan Jin also knew that Linley and the others were rich. Wouldn’t they be ordinary people who could purchase metal life? This Zhan Jin didn’t nag, and immediately accepted the amethyst, even smiling, ”Mr. Linley, you’re really lucky, just coming here. And you got an amethyst. I have heard. Some people spend thousands of years not being able to get one.”
“That’s the ones with bad luck. It’s possible to get one in a few days with good luck.”
Linley didn’t care and said.
“Boss, you’re so lucky. I don’t believe it. I’ll just have bad luck.”
Bebe looked around with glowing eyes, “I’m going to collect amethyst crystals as well!” “I’ll take my chances too.”
Delia laughed.
While Linley and the few of them were swimming in this Sea of Mist, Olivia and her group also flew to the edge of the Sea of Mist. The twelve people were slightly separated. Nearly a hundred meters away from each other, everyone was quietly waiting. Waiting for an amethyst to fly out.
“Amethyst? Who knows when we’ll get one.”
Olivia was controlling the ‘Dark God Bilocation’ in cultivation at the moment, now that his Earthly Light God Bilocation was already in the Middle God realm, but the Dark God Bilocation was still a Lower God. Olivia also eagerly wanted to make his Dark God bilocation improve as well.
“Nowadays, the Darkness God power is too weak, when the Darkness God power improves and becomes equal to my Light God power. With my ‘light and darkness’ fusion, how could a normal Mediate God be my opponent?” Olivia thought in her heart, while also looking carefully at the sea of fog.
The blood sun descended, and the purple moon took to the sky.
When the darkness passed. The Blood Sun once again hung in the sky, and a new day arrived.
During the course of the day, Olivia and the twelve of them remained in their original position, with little change. The ones who came to collect the amethyst. Their patience was very good. It was normal to wait for hundreds of years in one place for a thousand years.
“Eh?” Olivia noticed a bit of purple light in the distance suspiciously.
“Whoosh!” A purple light flew swiftly in Olivia’s direction. Olivia was instantly overjoyed, and almost instantly Olivia rushed towards it, having stayed in this Sea of Mist for almost thirty years. Olivia also knew the safe distance.
The others would have been far away from the purple light. How could they be as fast as Olivia? “This is?” When close to the ground. Olivia was stunned. In front of her eyes was not a single amethyst at all, but a dense mass of amethyst gathered together to form a whole – a small pile of amethyst! “At the very least, there are over ten thousand of them!” Olivia was stunned.
In the sea of fog. Occasionally, a bunch of amethyst crystals would fly out at the same time, and there was once a time when a million amethyst crystals flew out and gathered together. But that time caused a big killing. After all, a million amethysts. That is billions of ink stones.
For a Medium God. That was a very large property.
“So many amethysts?” With a wave of his hand, Olivia immediately included this pile of amethysts in his spatial ring, the moment it was included. He also figured out the quantity. There were more than 18,000 amethysts, worth more than a hundred million inkstones! This was a fortune! “I hope it wasn’t noticed by them.”
Olivia silently expected in her heart.
When Olivia turned her head. But he was shocked in his heart because the eleven people were staring at him! “Olivia. You’re really lucky.”
That captain grinned, “Although I didn’t see it clearly, but looking at the volume, it is estimated that there are tens of thousands of amethyst crystals, this is the share of those who see it, shouldn’t it be taken out, and divided equally among our twelve brothers?” Olivia’s face changed. Twelve people share equally? This was something he had gotten himself.
Olivia clenched his teeth. He said, “Like this. You each have eight hundred amethysts! The rest goes to me. As you all know, it’s only about ten thousand. Twelve people, I’m just slightly more.”
“There’s no need for you to divide it up, you unrecognize your spatial ring and let all of us check it in turn before dividing it equally.”
At once, someone spoke up.
“Unsubscribe?” Olivia understood in her heart.
These people who hung out in hell. Couldn’t really be that fair.
“Well… Jenkin. You should stop sending it. It’s been sent this far, so go ahead and collect the amethyst. We’ll leave first.”
A voice came from not far away, and this voice entered Olivia’s ears, but it made Olivia feel familiar.
It was the voice of an acquaintance! “Mr. Linley, be careful on the road.”
Another voice rang out.
Olivia was instantly startled, “Linley?” Olivia looked towards the source of the voice. Only to see a white haze. Linley, Delia, and Bebe were flying, and Bebe was still looking over towards the area, laughing playfully, “Boss. Look. A group of people are surrounding a person… hehe, that person is …… ah, boss, he’s Olivia!”
