Chapter 722: Everything Went SouthEditor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Treasure hunting in the Water World was an absolute pleasure. It was essentially bliss stacked upon bliss.
The floor of the Water World was riddled with treasure chests, and most of them contained only top tier items. Only a minority of them trash.
After going around for rely half an hour, Li Yi had already acquired dozens of legendary equipnt. Since Foreignland had already been released, all the equipnt that was produced here included the Holy Attribute, making them extrely valuable.
"Qian Qian, how’s your haul?"
"I only have 10% of my stamina gauge left, I’m currently going through my options carefully. I’ve already abandoned a lot of good equipnt..."
"Sa here..."
One of the hardest aspects of treasure hunting in the Water World was not the hunt itself, but rather, deciding which items to take.
If we were talking about Level 105 top-tier Epic-level Weapons, Li Yi had already tossed out twenty or so of them. If we were talking about Level 105 Top-tier Epic-level Equipnt, then he had already tossed out thirty or so of them. It was not that he did not want them, but rather, his stamina gauge would not be able to support him if he had taken all of them.
There was still ti to spare, and who would not wish to get better loot in this scenario?
Qian’er wished to do so, and naturally, so did Li Yi.
An hour later, the rmaid Princess returned with a shiny little golden box in her arms.
It had been half an hour since Li Yi had ordered the rmaid Princess to use Treasure Hunt.
Li Yi squeezed the rmaid Princess’ dainty little face to show his gratitude. The intimate action had once again increased the rmaid Princess’ Affinity towards him.
Li Yi was helpless against it. Even if he were to give the rmaid Princess a knuckle sandwich now, her Affinity would continue to rise. It was no longer possible for her Affinity to decrease.
Li Yi took the golden box and imdiately opened it.
A joyous jingle rang out...
[Congratulations, you have received 200 Rainbow Diamonds from the Precious Chest.]
’200 diamonds...’
Seeing the cluster of sparkling Rainbow Diamonds in his grasp, Li Yi could feel his entire body squirming with excitent.
How big of a deal was 200 Rainbow Diamonds you ask?
If a ten-thousand-strong army of players were to march to the mining grounds right now and mine continuously without any form of rest, they would still take at least half a year to get this amount...
Rainbow Diamonds were a by-product of mining the Dark Crystal Rocks in Foreignland and were considered a rarity among rarities. Back in Li Yi’s previous life, he received a quest that required him to hand in 1 Rainbow Diamond. However, as the Auction House did not list any Rainbow Diamonds, he had to mine for it himself in the mining grounds. It took him a whole month just to get his first piece.
’This thing’s so precious!’
"Hahaha, Lil rmaid, you did a great job."
Li Yi happily patted the rmaid Princess’ head. The rmaid Princess was so moved that tears began to streak down her cheeks, and her Affinity soared...
200 Rainbow Diamonds would allow Li Yi to carry out many of his plans.
"Continue using Treasure Hunt."
With tears still in her eyes, she hurriedly swam away.
After checking his stamina gauge, Li Yi realized he had about 30 points left.
Qian’er ssaged Li Yi, "Pervert, my stamina gauge only has 5 points left. I might be booted out at any mont, so, I’m not going to look for you."
"Alright." Li Yi promptly replied.
"HOLY COW! HOLY COW!"
While Li Yi was looking for underwater treasure, Lady Jiaojiao had stumbled into Li Yi’s room. Cries of envy ca roaring out of her mouth when she noticed what was happening from the external display.
"Lil Yi’zi, how sneaky can you get? To think that you’ve wandered off to such a beautiful place all by yourself!"
Jiaojiao approached Li YI from the back and grabbed his neck in a chokehold.
"Stop making a fuss, I’m digging for treasure."
Li Yi changed his POV to observation mode and lightly tapped at Jiaojiao’s slender hands.
"Tell
quickly, how can I reach you?"
"Try as you might, you’ll never reach . I’m currently in the Water World, and its entrance opens randomly. Hell, even I’m not sure whether I can return for another round."
"Hah? The Water World?"
Jiaojiao fell silent.
While looting the treasure chests, Li Yi asked Jiaojiao, "Oh yeah, how many Holy Points do you have now?"
Jiaojiao gleefully shook her little head. "16 Points, how about that?"
"Pretty good."
"What do you an pretty good? I’m way higher than Fox and the rest, and even Nirvana Inaction is 2 points lower than . What about you? How many Holy Points have you accumulated?"
"I’m at 12 points."
Jiaojiao took a mont to process the information before she laughed out loud.
...
Ding!
Ding!
[You have found a Water Soul Ring.]
[You have found a Shatter Skill To.]
[You have found a Multicolor Crystal Rock.]
...
A legendary Purple Quality Ring for Ice Wizards along with a rare Skill To and a rare crystal rock...
After eyeing the three items for quite so ti and so internal struggle, he decided to abandon them. Though the three items were valuable, it was a sha that he could not use them. Since he was already carrying plenty of valuable equipnt, Li Yi did not need them currently.
Another two hours went by, and Qian’er’s icon was now grayed out. As of that mont, Li Yi was the only person left in the Water World.
Li Yi’s stamina gauge only had 10 points remaining.
The rmaid Princess, who had left after using Treasure Hunt for a second ti, had yet to return. Li Yi’s heart was currently racing with trepidation. If he were to forcefully recall her now, he would not receive any items. As such, he patiently bade his ti.
With treasure chests littered all over the place, Li Yi continued to open them. However, he had already decided that unless it was sothing that he could use, he would not take the items.
As he only had 10 points remaining in his stamina gauge, he could not randomly take items any longer.
After searching for about ten minutes and going through plenty of legendary equipnt that he could not use, Li Yi gave them all up.
At long last, the rmaid Princess finally ca swimming back. She swam to Li Yi’s side and gave him a bear hug.
The rmaid Princess was carrying a shiny object in her mouth, but since it was too deep, Li Yi could not what it was clearly. As such, he had to use his own two fingers to get it out from her.
The object was an extrely gorgeous aquamarine heart-shaped crystal. When held in his palm, it looked just like a water droplet, with dream-like luminance streaming through it, giving it a mysterious look.
Ding!
[You have received half of Heart of Water.]
’Heart of Water? Half?’
Li Yi stared at the water droplet, dumbfounded.
The half of the Heart of Water did not contain any attributes, and aside from its beautiful appearance, it seed to serve no other function.
’What’s this thingamajig?’
After scouring his mories of his past life for any clues, Li Yi was forced to admit that he had never seen nor heard of this item before.
"Lil rmaid, why’s it only half?"
Wearily, the rmaid Princess shook her head. "I-It... It was already like that when I found it..."
"Maybe you should take a break for now."
Li Yi caressed the rmaid Princess’ head, and once again, the rmaid Princess’ Affinity exploded.
With 9 points left in his stamina gauge, Li Yi decided that there was still plenty of ti.
Li Yi logged onto Pantheon’s official site, keyed in Heart of Water and looked it up. However, the results shown were disappointing, as there was not a single ntion of Heart of Water in the website’s database.
When sothing could not be found in Pantheon’s official site, there were only two possibilities. The first was that the ga had no such item, and the second, was that the item was a divine construct!
’Could the Heart of Water be a divine weapon?’
The mont Li Yi thought about the possibility of it being a divine weapon, he imdiately went giddy with excitent.
’However, how can I prove my theory?’
After lapsing into deep concentration, a spark of brilliance flashed across his mind as he ca up with a good idea.
He took out the rmaid Queen, Luna Summoning Scroll.
The scroll was a non-combat item, and since Li Yi’s rank was the sa as the rmaid Queen’s, even if Li Yi were to use the scroll in combat, the rmaid Queen would not help him.
The scroll’s only purpose was to trigger a questline, that was all.
’I guess it’s ti for Lil rmaid to et her mom.’
"O Mighty rmaid Queen, heed my summons and appear!"
As Li Yi continued to chant with a booming voice, a portal appeared from the scroll and out walked the rmaid Queen, Luna.
Li Yi had originally thought that the rmaid Queen’s encounter with the rmaid Princess would be sothing warm and cheerful. Alas, he could not be even more off the mark.
The rmaid Princess whimpered softly. "Mama..."
The rmaid Queen extended her hand, and the rmaid Princess involuntarily flew to her side. Following that, the rmaid Queen forcefully dragged her into the portal, and they vanished shortly after...
As Li Yi stared wide-eyed at the scene from start to end, all the while having a bad feeling.
After checking his backpack, Li Yi was flabbergasted.
The rmaid Princess Summoning Stone in his backpack had disappeared...
"***!"1
Now that the summoning stone was gone, how could he summon the rmaid Princess?
Does this an that the rmaid Princess was lost forever?
’That god-damned scroll is a ***...’
Li Yi’s good mood was completely ruined by the turn of events.
He had not even gotten to the root of the Heart of Water mystery, and another incident had already popped up, completely ruining his mood to hunt for treasure.
’Even if I get a divine weapon, would it co close to the rmaid Princess?’
’**** rmaid Queen. I swear, if you don’t return my princess to , I’ll raze the whole rmaid Village to the ground!’
Li Yi’s heart was set ablaze.
After Li Yi had trudged back and forth for almost half an hour, the rmaid Princess had yet to respond...
’Now that the Teleportation Door had closed, how is she supposed to return?’
’Motherf*cker!’
Li Yi cursed. After realizing that he had 8 points left in his stamina gauge, Li Yi reconsidered his options and headed to a nearby red chest.
Ding!
[You have found a Blazing Ring.]
[You have found a Chain Lightning Skill To.]
[You have found a Sky-Blue Diamond.]
Ding!

Ding!

[You have found a Skill To for Swamp King Summon.]
[You have found an Aqua Blue Diamond.]
...
Li Yi opened eight treasure chests in a single go, imdiately depleting his stamina gauge and booting him out of the Water World...
It was only when he checked his spoils that he noticed that he had found the other half of the Heart of Water.
