In the apocalypse, you start with two knives, and all your equipment depends on drops.

Chapter 61 Treasure

As soon as Yu Yao arrived at the second-floor stairwell, Lin Fengmu followed her there.

"Little Fish, is there something you need?"

Yu Yao leaned against the armrest, looked at Lin Fengmu, nodded and said, "I do have a favor to ask."

Lin Fengmu leaned casually against Yu Yao and said with a smile, "Just tell me."

Yu Yao hesitated for a moment, then said, "May I take a look at your jade pendant?"

It's no wonder she felt embarrassed; Lin Fengmu had offered her the jade pendant earlier, but she hadn't accepted it.

Now they're calling them out separately to see it.

They are indeed quite troublesome.

Lin Fengmu never expected that Yu Yao would call him out just to see his jade pendant.

However, he was only surprised for a moment before recovering as usual. He simply took out the jade pendant and handed it to Yu Yao, saying softly, "I thought it was something important. Here you go."

"Thank you."

Yu Yao moved the corners of her mouth, extended her jade-white fingers, and solemnly picked up the blood-red jade pendant that had been tempting her from Lin Fengmu's hand.

In an instant, three announcements flashed through her mind:

"Fragment of Spatial Law detected. Merge?"

"A Buddhist treasure - [Brahma Pearl] - detected. Bind?"

"Ancient treasure - [Binding Immortal Rope] detected. Bind?"

Good heavens, I had no idea until I saw it! This jade pendant is a treasure from head to toe.

The Blood Jade Pendant is a fragment of the laws of space.

No wonder the mutated black cat that stole the jade pendant could use spatial power so skillfully.

They even gave her a copy of the Space Power Law Fragment.

The rope is a binding cord, which cannot be cut by a knife or burned by fire. Once you are bound by it, there is no possibility of breaking free.

Even the top bead on the jade pendant is a Buddhist treasure.

This explains why Lin Fengmu failed when he first tried to control the mutated black cat.

It turns out that the Brahma Pearl helped it!

This world is getting more and more absurd.

Yu Yao couldn't help but rub her temples, feeling that her brain was completely overwhelmed.

The family heirloom of Lin Fengmu's maternal grandfather was actually an ancient treasure, one that had only appeared in cultivation novels.

What does this mean?

There really are cultivators in this world.

Or perhaps there really were cultivators in the past.

Yu Yao's actions made Lin Fengmu nervous. "Are you feeling unwell?"

Yu Yao waved her hand and quickly stuffed the jade pendant back into Lin Fengmu's hand.

"No, you should quickly recognize your precious pet as its owner, lest it be taken away again!"

She had no intention of stealing someone else's opportunity; she only called him out to eliminate the treasure chest.

"Recognize...master?"

Forgive Lin Fengmu, for he couldn't understand her meaning for a moment.

"Yes, recognize the master. How about trying a blood test? If that doesn't work, use your special ability to probe and recognize the master as soon as possible."

She then added, "Don't forget the hanging cord and the top bead either; they're precious too."

Lin Fengmu held the jade pendant, which still retained Yu Yao's warmth, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "How...how did you know?"

Yu Yao shook her head helplessly: "It's blatant seduction, it's hard not to know."

These words startled Lin Fengmu for a moment, then he chuckled and said, "Seduce?"

After saying that, he lowered his eyes to look at the jade pendant in his palm and said to Yu Yao, "I've heard that divine objects have spirits. Since it... seduced you, it must be because you are more destined to be together."

As he spoke, he was about to give the jade pendant to Yu Yao.

Seeing this, Yu Yao quickly took two steps back, pushed his hand away, and shook her head, saying, "No, I misspoke."

"It's not that it's destined for me, but rather that treasures naturally attract others. Even if it were someone else today, they would have sensed its difference, just like that mutated cat. This has nothing to do with the treasure itself."

"Besides, since it is a family heirloom of your maternal grandfather, it can only play its greatest role in your hands."

Yu Yao hurriedly said a lot.

Lin Fengmu remained silent, looking down intently at the young girl before him, his thoughts drifting back to five years ago.

At that time, she was bullied and envied by the school bully at school, and was often surrounded and harassed by people with ill intentions outside of school.

Her parents, however, told her to look for the reasons within herself.

He will always remember the stubborn girl standing straight outside her house.

They consistently refused to admit their mistakes.

Later, when she talked to herself about these things, she mentioned a book she had once read, in which there was this passage:

"The roadside flowers bloomed beautifully, attracting butterflies, dragonflies, and a group of humans. Rarely seeing such beautiful flowers, the humans, overjoyed, harbored malicious intentions and plucked them to take home. Some lamented why the flowers had to bloom so beautifully; if they hadn't, they wouldn't have attracted such wicked people. Others blamed the flowers, saying that if they hadn't emitted fragrance, they wouldn't have attracted so many bees and butterflies, and wouldn't have been isolated and ostracized by the other flowers. Their fate wouldn't have been so tragic."

Everyone is blaming it. But is the flower really at fault?

......

Yes, is the flower really at fault?

Flowers are born to bloom, to exude fragrance, and to unabashedly display their beauty.

She was never the one who was wrong.

......

Although this situation is not the same as today.

But for some reason, it reminded Lin Fengmu of that stubborn little girl from the past.

She is not herself, yet she is herself!

......

Noticing that he was a little distracted, Yu Yao casually punched the half-faced zombie that had suddenly appeared from some floor into the wall.

She then stretched out her other clean hand and waved it in front of his eyes, calling out in confusion, "Brother Feng Mu?"

Lin Fengmu snapped out of her daze, looked at the delicate white hand waving in front of her face, and said calmly, "Yes, you're right. A treasure will always be noticed."

Yu Yao nodded in agreement: "So you should recognize your master as soon as possible, lest things get complicated."

Although things were calm at the moment at the He'an Building, Yu Yao always felt a vague sense of oppression.

Not to mention that the dark-themed zombies that appeared before have not made any moves so far.

Even the 26th floor, filled with strange mutated beasts, weighed heavily on Yu Yao's heart like a boulder.

That's right, there are at least a hundred mutated beasts on the 26th floor.

It might be a lab mouse, or it might be an animal used for research.

In short, there are many!

Yu Yao knew that if they went from the 26th floor to the 27th floor, there would definitely be another fierce battle!

Lin Fengmu has no spatial abilities, and the jade pendant he carries doesn't recognize its owner, so it's ultimately unsafe.

Lin Fengmu didn't delay any longer and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

He then immediately probed his supernatural abilities into the jade pendant.

But it was like a stone sinking into the sea.

The top bead and hanging cord also showed no reaction.

Lin Fengmu immediately changed his plan, drew his dagger and cut his finger without hesitation.

Let the bright red blood drip onto the jade pendant, the top bead, and the hanging cord.

This time, there was finally a response.

The blood dripping onto the three items seemed to come alive.

It rolled around on it for a while, and then started to flow on its own, as if it were looking for a place to go.

Two breaths later, the blood stopped flowing, flickered a few times at a point, and was soon absorbed completely.

At the same time, the three items slowly disassembled and flew gently to Lin Fengmu's face.

After the Blood Jade and the Brahma Spirit Pearl circled around Lin Fengmu several times, they disappeared into his brow.

In that instant, Lin Fengmu underwent some almost imperceptible changes, making her already outstanding appearance even more dazzling.

Its color is like the dawn of spring, captivating the soul.

However, it is the Immortal-Binding Rope.

Like a mischievous child, it kept spinning and weaving around Yu Yao and Lin Fengmu.

He even acted like a playboy, rubbing and poking Yu Yao's face.

It was only after Lin Fengmu learned how to control it that he was able to store it inside his body.

Then quickly apologize.

"It didn't scare you, did it?"

Yu Yao waved her hand dismissively, "It's okay, it's nothing."

Seeing that she truly didn't care, Lin Fengmu breathed a sigh of relief and then asked, "That jade pendant..."

"Shh...don't say it." Yu Yao quickly interrupted him.

She didn't want to know too much about the inside story and secrets; knowing too much would be a burden.

Lin Fengmu's eyes darkened after being interrupted, and after a long while he said in a low voice, "Fine, I won't say anything."

Then he added, "But if you want to hear it, you can contact me anytime."

Yu Yao remained calm, nodded, and changed the subject, "I won't disturb your research any longer, I'll go back first."

"......it is good."
