Chapter 462: Master of the World!
Chapter 462: Master of the World!
"Gateway to the Secret Realm."
"Ancient Civilization's Secret Treasury."
"And now, Nine-Stage Awakener's Painting Studio."
"The treasure map given as a mission reward has never been ordinary."
Lindsey marveled.
Activating the Puzzle Game module, he bypassed the inscribed stone pillar and began to seriously study this small painting space.
First, there was the rather unremarkable chair.
【Yellow Elm Chair - An ordinary wooden chair. Despite being in a special environment, it has endured thousands of years without rotting.】
"..."
"So the chair of a Nine-Stage Awakener is just an ordinary chair?"
"Pfft—"
Lindsey suddenly burst into laughter.
He felt that his previous exclamation had a touch of exaggeration.
Then, a playful idea struck him.
Sitting on the Nine-Stage Awakener's chair, he took out the Red Giant Mushroom from his bag, which could increase its size, and held it high:
"Nintendo is the master of the world!"
"..."
"Alright, enough playing."
After a bit of mischief, Lindsey walked towards the box in the corner of the room.
This painting studio was only about twenty square meters, and the only place to hide things was this box.
Lindsey lifted the box, and the lid opened easily.
"Mirror, palette, paint box, water flask, hairpin, unfinished candy, dining utensils..."
"..."
"A Nine-Stage Awakener has such ordinary items in their secret base?"
Lindsey's expression was a mix of amusement and exasperation.
He activated his reconnaissance skill, scanning his surroundings.
Everything in the box was just daily essentials.
Thanks to the special nature of the painting space, even small candies and desserts were still fresh.
Lindsey rummaged through the box again, and at the bottom, he found a bag.
He took a glance, and his expression turned from amused to dark.
"Is this guy a child? He's picky about food!"
"..."
After inspecting the box, Lindsey leaned back and sat on the floor.
"Is this a joke? Is this really a treasure point?"
Upon careful inspection, everything in the box was ordinary daily items, with no peculiarities.
"Hmm..."
"Can I sell these as antiques?"
Lindsey pondered for a few seconds.
According to the information from the Puzzle Game, this secret painting studio had gone undisturbed for at least thousands of years.
Painting Studio!
Lindsey slowly turned his head.
The box contained only miscellaneous daily items, the chair was ordinary, and the bed was even more so.
So, what was the most important thing in this small room used as a painting studio?
"The painting..."
Lindsey walked over to the easel.
He carefully examined the object in front of him.
The easel was made of oak planks joined together with nails and wood glue, also ordinary.
On the canvas, there were only blurry paint swatches.
"..."
Lindsey furrowed his brows.
But just as the situation seemed to reach a stalemate.
The Puzzle Game module shone brightly on the canvas, even causing Lindsey to squint.
【Consumable: Unfinished Painting】
【An unfinished painting. By expending Essence, one can incorporate things into the painting and bring about positive transformations.】
【A canvas imbued with special rules, its value is incalculable.】
【"The sea is truly beautiful.
"Teacher's handcrafted world, why is there no land?"
"The colors here are so monotonous, I don't want to paint anymore!"】
"..."
"Merge into the painting... things..."
Lindsey immediately grasped the key point from the item description.
Having traveled to the City of a Thousand Sails, he had long confirmed the Awakener of this universe, whose ability limit was incredibly exaggerated.
And this canvas, left behind by a Nine-Stage Awakener, was one such 'thing'.
The description of this 'thing' probably truly alluded to the real meaning of this term.
- Everything objectively existing in nature.
Without a doubt.
If Lindsey's essence was sufficient, this canvas might be able to merge the entire world within it.
"The value of this item increases the later it's used."
"And the quality of the things merged into it will also determine the quality of the transformation."
Undoubtedly.
Lindsey put away the unfinished painting.
He continued to inspect other details in the painting room, but even after searching every inch, he couldn't find any new discoveries.
"Hmm... you're not getting away either."
Lindsey thought for a moment and pulled out the stone pillar with the writing on it.
It was hard to imagine that anyone would discover this place after it had already been abandoned.
Since he was here, he might as well take everything with him!
"Finally, let's take a photo to remember this moment."
Lindsey, ensuring he didn't miss anything, took a photo with his new camera and then began searching for a way out.
The solution was right in front of him—this translucent rock.
Lindsey reached out with one hand and touched the wall.
The sound of water surrounded him, and the spiral vortex pulled his body, bringing him back to the deep sea beside the giant rock in the next second.
"If I had known there were so many treasures hidden in the depths, I would have come here sooner."
Tonight's exploration in the depths of the sea was truly satisfying.
Lindsey was eager to go home and experiment with the Abyss Cluster Algae and the Pressure Sea Stone.
"Hmm?"
But at that moment, Lindsey suddenly sensed something amiss.
His essence began to wane, and the long-dormant Plot Performance ability activated automatically, guiding his fate towards an incredible future.
"What's going on?"
Lindsey's expression changed instantly.
He immediately opened the map and conducted a large-scale reconnaissance of the surrounding area.
As a result, in the distant depths of the sea, Lindsey spotted a green marker swimming straight towards him!
"Friendly target."
"At such a great depth, could someone be coming to find me?"
Lindsey was filled with questions.
He pondered who might appear here.
"Remstar has no reason to come underwater to find me."
"Wah wah wah—even less likely, that guy can't swim!"
"The Art Association? They just released me, they wouldn't take me back so soon, right?"
Lindsey wasn't sure about this situation.
But the activation of the skill was most likely a favorable event for him.
Moreover, the approaching target was marked with a friendly green indicator, ensuring there was no danger.
"Then let's see what this thing is."
Lindsey turned and swam towards the target.
He wanted to see who would be searching for him in these thousand-meter-deep waters.
"..."
Just 2 minutes and 26 seconds later.
Surrounded by the waters of the Vana Aurora Sea, Lindsey regretted his decision.
Because when he approached and illuminated the target with the jellyfish lamp, he was shocked by what he saw.
This green marker, swimming towards him, belonged to a graceful mermaid.
Lindsey took a closer look.
He recognized her face!
"..."
Speaking underwater was challenging for humans, and the sound was distorted.
But this mermaid, with an enthusiastic voice, shouted to Lindsey:
"Dear, I've finally found you!"
