Chapter 215: Safe (2950 Additional Votes)
After capturing several key figures from Ghost-Seal Bank, Li Teng interrogated them and learned the location of the treasures within.
All were in the Underground Treasury.
There were four vaults in total.
One vault was filled with gold, another was filled with Magical Treasures and a small amount of Spiritual Treasures.
A third vault was filled with Ghost Coins, and the last contained a safe, but none of them knew exactly what was inside.
Because no one had ever entered, nor had anyone ever opened it.
The first three vaults could be opened with their keys, but the last vault was protected by an Array and needed to be broken before they could gain entry.
After inspecting the Magical Treasures and Spiritual Treasures, Li Teng felt that they weren't of much use to him.
No matter how powerful the Magical Treasures and Spiritual Treasures were, they were no match for the constant manipulation of Ghost Treasure in his hand.
So he called the people outside in and distributed the Spiritual Treasures and Magical Treasures among them.
Of course, Li Bai received the most, since he was the first to have helped Li Teng, and had expended the most during the battle with the War Ghost King, so out of the four Spiritual Treasures, he was allowed to pick three first, leaving the remaining one for Bald Qiang.
Sixty percent of the Magical Treasures were handed to Li Bai, twenty percent to Bald Qiang, and the rest were divided equally among the others.
What is the saying about repaying a drop of kindness with a gushing spring?
This was it.
Li Bai's inadvertent actions when he first entered the script, fighting three men in black and throwing a broken sword to Li Teng, were now repaid with three Spiritual Treasures and a large number of Magical Treasures, not only making up for his losses but also compensating him at least three times over.
"I am immensely grateful and forever in your debt!" Li Bai bowed repeatedly to Li Teng.
"Your kindness to us weighs as heavy as a mountain! If you have any commands in the future, I will face death without a second thought!" Of course, Bald Qiang had no objections either, getting one Spiritual Treasure and more than a dozen Magical Treasures, which was much more than he had expected before entering the script.
"Thank you so much! I am so happy! Your generosity and magnanimity, your willingness to forgive and forget, make us feel truly ashamed!" The others had rarely seen any Magical Treasures, and now with two or three per person, they were all dancing with joy.
"What use are gold and Ghost Coins?" Li Teng asked Li Bai.
"For the three of us, they're not much use anymore, but they still have some value for the others. Let's do this: we'll take the gold and Ghost Coins to the black market in a few batches, buy everything we can, and then you see if there's anything you like." Li Bai proposed a plan.
"Fine, but there's no need to take it in batches, you can bring it all at once." Li Teng gestured grandly, used some Life Resources, and on the spot refined a gourd-shaped storage space large enough to hold all the gold and Ghost Coins, then tossed the gourd to Li Bai.
"Okay, I'll get on it right away." Li Bai took the gourd and left with everyone else.
It was clear that they were very considerate, realizing that Li Teng was about to break into the last vault.
It was better not to stay by his side at this time.
After all, it could raise suspicion.
Once Li Bai and others had left, Li Teng immediately began his assault on the Array protecting the last vault.
He guessed that it probably didn't contain more Magical or valuable treasures, but something more along the lines of vouchers or Universal APP rewards.
Such rewards were what truly attracted him at this point.
With the script possibly ending at any time, Li Teng rushed to manipulate Ghost Treasure at his extreme speed, worried he might fall short of completion.
Having killed the Ghost Governor, he had gained over ten million Life Resources, which he didn't mind spending at all.
If he ran out, he would later have Liu Shiyuan help him find a similar script.
The strong abilities of the Ghost King would soon allow him to accumulate plenty of Life Resources.
For him, getting the treasure inside the safe in the vault before the script abruptly ended was of the utmost importance.
After ten minutes or so, under Li Teng's full-force attack, the vault's protective Array weakened significantly.
Finally, with a 'crackling' sound, it shattered open.
The vault was only protected by the Array, and its alloy door wasn't locked.
However, the safe was locked.
It was a combination lock.
Gauging the material, Li Teng estimated he could possibly break it open by force.
He was worried that forcibly breaking the safe may damage the treasure inside.
Li Teng had no choice but to return outside and called the bound supervisors in, continuing with severe interrogation.
After ten more minutes, Li Teng had to give up.
These people must not know the password, if they did, they would have given it up by now.
There are obviously still hidden plot points that haven't been completed in this script.
Li Teng's wrist vibrated.
A few lines of prompts appeared on the screen.
"The script will forcibly end in five minutes."
"In five minutes, all actors will be forced to leave."
"Please stop all ongoing activities and prepare to return."
"..."
"Damn!" Li Teng obviously couldn't go on to do the side quests anymore.
Now he could only use brute force to break in.
After taking a deep breath, Li Teng imbued the blade with Nether Lightning, carefully cutting the safe's door, trying not to damage the treasures inside.
Three minutes passed by quickly.
Finally, Li Teng broke the safe's door off.
Removing the door, Li Teng looked inside the safe with eager anticipation.
Incredibly…
It was empty!
"Damn it!"
The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment, that's what this situation was like.
Li Teng, unwilling to accept this, reached into the safe to feel around, hoping to find some hidden treasure.
Unfortunately, there was still nothing.
It seemed highly likely that because he hadn't completed the side plot, the treasures hadn't appeared in the safe, which was a situation he had encountered in games he had played before.
Less than one minute was left on the countdown.
Li Teng kicked the safe away in utter despair.
Just as he was about to sit down and wait to be teleported out, he noticed a QR code on the overturned safe's inner top!
Li Teng hurried over and pointed his wristwatch at the QR code.
Another Universal APP!
Virtual Companion APP.
After the QR code was scanned, the entire safe turned to ash and disappeared.
During installation, a few explanatory images also appeared on the wristwatch screen.
By using this APP, one could summon a virtual female companion.
Although virtual, she had a real body just like a human, and the intelligence to chat just like a real person.
The most important thing was she could warm the bed… no, warm the stone pillar top, you could touch, you could…
Seeing the stunning figure and cute face in the explanation images, Li Teng immediately felt his blood boil.
My god!
What a great item!
This bank robbery was worth it!
He couldn't wait to give it a try.
The installation progress bar at fifty percent, sixty percent…
The script ending countdown at twenty seconds, fifteen seconds…
He wouldn't be forced out with only half installed, would he?
Please, please don't let that happen!
The installation progress bar at seventy percent, eighty percent…
The script ending countdown at ten seconds, five seconds…
