Chapter 252: If You Can't Find It, Destroy It

In the cabin, Mingzheng carefully opened each slot holding the keystone with his hands, regardless of whether doing so would damage the necklace.

It's also thanks to his strong physical fitness that he can do such detailed operations that require a lot of strength.

When the card slots were opened one by one, the keystone inside gradually revealed its complete appearance.

Perhaps the keystone itself was too complete and had no extra corners, so Ming Zheng observed carefully that the keystone had not even been polished.

Bang! Bang!

Two red lights flashed, and the metal monster and Cammy Turtle appeared next to Ming Zheng.

"You all feel it, can you detect any special energy from it?"

Mingzheng handed the key stone to the metal monster and Cammy Turtle, and they looked at each other and started taking action.

The metal monster's telepathy and the Cammy Turtle's waveguide power probed towards the keystone without affecting each other.

Superpowers floated on the surface, wrapped around the keystone and sensed silently, but nothing was discovered.

The power of the waveguide probes the inside, and the double helix mark in the key stone trembles slightly under the probe, but the amplitude is so small that it is not visible to the naked eye.

"Kami!"

"Well, do you feel the feedback? Is there a faint tremor?"

Mingzheng was delighted. As long as there was a little bit of strangeness, there would be the possibility of MEGA evolving.

Two minutes later, the Cammy Turtle withdrew its waveguide power and found nothing else.

Mingzheng didn't care, since the keystone was most likely intact anyway.

All that's left is to find the Mega Evolution Stone for Metagross or Blastoise.

This matter is not urgent, and it is not time for them to appear.

Just look for it slowly.

In this way, Mingzheng put the key stone away with satisfaction. As for the necklace that was torn into pieces, he could only wait until he got off the ship and then find a gold shop to sell it back.

After finishing these tasks late at night, Mingzheng decided to buy a sheepskin map the next day, preferably the original version.

The journey on the sea is already over halfway, and the journey will be complete once the map is in hand.

...a night of silence.

The next day, Ming Zheng took out the key stone and admired it, then slowly washed up, went out, and bought a map!

After regaining its energy, Edelweiss Moth lay on Mingzheng's head again and followed him around the cabin.

Soon, Mingzheng saw the souvenir shop Xiaoshuang mentioned.

Mingzheng walked into the store and didn't see the boss, but he saw Xiaoshuang first.

After a night of adjustment, Xiaoshuang's condition improved a lot. At least she no longer thanked Mingzheng when she saw him.

"Good morning, Mingzheng!"

"Well, morning. Come here..."

"I've already asked the boss. You can buy the sheepskin map for 1,000 elf coins!"

Xiaoshuang said with a smile that she came early because she was afraid of changes in the souvenir shop and wanted to help Mingzheng ask about the situation.

Of course, I don’t know if there is any desire to see Ming Zheng again.

"Hey, we have another visitor. Are you here to buy a map too?"

At this time, the store owner was walking out of the warehouse with a box in his arms. He asked Mingzheng familiarly.

"A lot of people come to buy maps?" Mingzheng was curious.

"Hey, on the second day after every auction, there are usually a few customers who also want a map.

Well, these are it. You can choose whatever you want, 1,000 Elf Coins a piece, no bargaining! "

Looking at this box full of sheepskin maps that seemed to smell like fresh ink, Ming Zheng couldn't help but twitch his lips.

If there is any treasure that can be dug through this map, then there really is a ghost.

Mingzheng didn't even choose. He turned to look at the boss who returned to the cashier and turned on his computer to play a single-player game.

"Boss, I want the original sheepskin map."

But the boss didn't even raise his head, waved his hand and said, "Those are all."

"The people at the auction house said you have the original version."

The boss stopped playing the game and looked at Ming Zheng again.

"500,000 Elf Coins, the best price!"

"500000!"

Xiaoshuang on the side exclaimed that this was enough for her to pay off half of her debt!

"Okay, 500,000, just 500,000, just swipe your card!"

Mingzheng's voice was calm, Xiaoshuang just glanced at him and said nothing.

She had seen Mingzheng when he was truly heroic. The 500,000 elf coins, which was a lot to her, were just a bunch of numbers to Mingzheng.

But the shop owner was not calm. He had never wanted to sell the original map, and the price he just quoted was just casual, hoping that Ming Zheng would retreat.

"No, no, now I want one million elf coins!"

"What I just told myself is worth it."

Ming Zheng replied, leaving the boss speechless and could only stare.

"I don't care, I won't sell it if it's 1 million less!"

Mingzheng looked at the boss, "Are you going to increase the price?"

The boss instantly became vigilant, knowing that he was going to encounter a tough situation today. The young man in front of him was not short of money at all.

"If you don't want to sell it, I won't sell it. I won't sell it even if it means Potian. I just said it as a joke. There is no original map!"

Mingzheng was also speechless for a while looking at the boss who was acting so shamelessly.

But seeing him like this, Mingzheng's interest in the sheepskin map has regained a lot.

"Is this really a treasure map? You won't sell it at any high price?"

The boss glanced at Mingzheng, as if to say, if it's fake, why don't I sell it?

"Haha, that's true!"

After thinking for a while, Mingzheng continued: "If it is a real treasure map, maybe it is indeed a priceless treasure, but if I remember correctly, it is a fragmented map, right? And there are many defects?"

Hearing this, the boss seemed to shrink back in an instant, and his mood was also quite low.

In the past, when others said that this was just a fragment of the map, he would argue with reason, saying that he would definitely find other fragments and finally find the treasure.

But now he is old and has no strength to go out to sea, but he still stubbornly found a job on the cruise ship, hoping that one day he can reach the place recorded in the fragmentary map.

But the cruise ship route is basically fixed, how could it be lucky enough to enter the range of the treasure map.

He stayed here just because he couldn't let go of his obsession.

"Yes, it's a fragment of the map, a fragment of the map! If you get it, you will just be unable to let it go like me, and you will never find it!"

"How do you know if you don't try?" Mingzheng interrupted the boss's self-pity and continued: "Maybe one day I can find other fragments of the map?"

Looking at the vigorous and confident young man in front of him, the boss seemed to see himself back then.

He was also so arrogant, conceited, and proud!

He looked at the souvenir shop that was deserted because it was not properly organized.

He looked at the single-player game that was paused in front of the cash register.

He looked at his fat belly and half-bald hair.

"Young man, do you really want the original sheepskin map?"

"Yes!"

"Okay, then I'll give you the map if you promise me one thing!"

"What?"

"Swear that if you don't find the treasure on the treasure map within five years, you will burn the map and stop looking for it!"

"Five years?"

"Yes, five years!"

"Destroy it if you can't find it?"

"Destroy it if you can't find it!"

"Okay! I swear!"
