Chapter 90: Library

"Is this a Treasure Chest monster?"

Chester had just been summoned when Edward recognized its identity and said with great surprise.

"That's right, it is a Treasure Chest monster."

Yun Mu patted Chester on the head, signaling it to open its lid.

"Where did you get this little fellow?"

Edward couldn't help but walk closer to observe it more easily; he looked at Chester's appearance and sighed, "I haven't seen a Treasure Chest monster in many years."

"Does Uncle Edward know a lot about Treasure Chest monsters?"

Without answering his question, Yun Mu placed the Scarlet Cross Sword into Chester's belly, warned it absolutely not to eat this thing, and then looked at Edward.

"Of course."

Edward nodded and said, "When I was young and adventuring, I often encountered these guys in various caves and ruins."

"They are very cunning," he grinned and said:

"If they see that there are many people coming to explore, they will pretend to be ordinary treasure chests, and when you open the lid, they will just use some worthless things to fool you."

"If your party is small, they will bite your head off the moment you open the treasure chest, and then Run Away."

Seeming to recall some happy memory, Edward's tone became somewhat lighthearted, and he continued as if reminiscing: "When I was young, my fleet and I once encountered a Treasure Chest monster in an underwater cave."

"That Treasure Chest monster was disguised as a very ancient box, and my crew and I thought the box itself should be worth quite a bit of money."

"So we took that Treasure Chest monster and the things in its belly away with us."

"That guy saw we had many people and didn't dare to reveal itself, until it secretly left the cabin at night; guess what happened?"

Without waiting for Yun Mu to reply, he smiled and said: "At that time, our fleet had already left that island and was sailing on the sea. The Treasure Chest monster moved in the night and jumped directly from the deck into the sea."

"It turned out it didn't know Swimming!"

"Hahaha."

Hearing Edward's laughter, Yun Mu was infected by it and couldn't help but laugh as well.

"And then?"

She asked with some curiosity.

"And then?"

"The night patrol crew discovered it and fished it up. Although it was a Treasure Chest monster, the patterns on its body could also provide research and reference value for a Scholar, so after we went ashore, we sold it at a high price to a Scholar who studied ancient history."

He paused after finishing this, then looked at Chester and said: "This Treasure Chest monster of yours also looks like it has some years on it; the patterns on it have a very First Era creative style."

"However, I am not very well-versed in history myself, just slightly knowledgeable, so I can't tell exactly which era or Civilization it belongs to."

"If you are interested, you can find someone in this field to take a look."

"Does Uncle Edward have any recommended candidates?" Yun Mu asked with great interest.

She indeed needed someone who knew a lot about history to help her.

From her analysis of the conversation between her and Lucy in the Dungeon previously, it could be known that the Dungeon world was likely something that had once happened in the real world.

At least Lucy was real; otherwise, there would be no reason for the other party to ask her to find her in the real world.

Moreover, what the other party said about the Scarlet already spreading in the real world, as well as the Anchor and information about Him, all made her very concerned.

"Are you asking me?"

"Mm."

Edward stroked the beard on his chin and said: "You can go find the curator of the Frostfall City library. Although I am not very familiar with him, if you bring this little fellow along, he should be willing to see you."

"I understand."

Yun Mu nodded in realization, then put the Treasure Chest monster back into the Game Panel and ran toward the first floor of the cafe.

The people from the furniture store were still waiting downstairs; she couldn't let them wait too long.

After opening the shop door and apologizing to them, she took the furniture store staff to put the furniture she had ordered into her room.

There were no accidents during the process; it only took twenty minutes for her originally empty room to be filled with new furniture.

"So comfortable."

Yun Mu lay on the brand-new large bed, feeling very happy.

This bed was much more luxurious and comfortable than the one in her bedroom before she transmigrated; not only was the area larger, but the materials were also much higher quality.

It would be even better if there were a mobile phone and internet; she would lie directly on the bed, with a tablet on her knees, wearing Bluetooth headphones, listening to music while surfing the internet.

"No, I can't think about that anymore!"

Patting her face, she broke free from her fantasy, then got dressed and came to the first-floor lobby of the cafe.

She didn't have to work at the cafe today because, in this world, all workers were required to have one day off on Sunday.

Because the Church believed that the human body went through a cycle every week, and on the last day of this cycle, one should not do heavy work, so they emphasized that people must rest for one day on Sunday.

In this world with Supernatural power, the authority of the Church was still quite powerful, so on Sundays, all workers could have a day off.

And on Saturdays, working hours could not exceed 8 hours.

My god, what kind of heaven is this?

However, under these circumstances, there were actually many people who resisted this behavior of the Church, the reason being that they didn't get paid when they were off, earning one day less of money.

Well, it wasn't that she couldn't understand, it was just that Yun Mu felt it was better to have the day off.

After finishing breakfast at the cafe, she went straight out.

She hailed a Steam Taxi and asked the driver to drive to the Frostfall City library.

It had to be said that habit was truly a terrifying force; in just a few days, she had gotten used to taking a Steam Taxi to go out.

When the taxi arrived at the destination and Yun Mu handed the Silver Frost Coin to the driver, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

Forget it, anyway, one or two Silver Frost Coins were no longer a price that was unacceptably expensive for her now.

But if possible, she should walk more in the future.

She looked up at the building before her; the familiar black-gray stone, combined with the plain and unadorned edges, was indeed the consistent architectural style of the Frost Person.

After looking at the luxurious buildings of Liuli Street for so long, looking at this kind of plain and unadorned architecture again always gave one a different feeling.

Yun Mu lowered her head and walked into the courtyard of the library.

There were not many people here, but they were all dressed formally, and their expressions and movements while walking were full of elegance.

She could not help but be influenced by these people, and subconsciously, she began to walk according to the knowledge she had learned from Elena.

It was just that compared to the movements of others, her demeanor was still somewhat unfamiliar.

The people passing by saw this and did not show expressions of contempt or mockery; they all smiled and nodded at her with kindness, seemingly as if they were encouraging her.

PS: Treasure Chest monsters are not naturally born creatures.

The academic world currently has two main hypotheses regarding the birth of Treasure Chest monsters.

The first hypothesis is that Treasure Chest monsters were born from people's Fear of those Seductive treasure traps encountered during expeditions.

Starting from the hypothesis of the first Treasure Chest monster, as it spread more and more widely among people, under the influence of Ether, the Treasure Chest monster truly came into being.

The second hypothesis is that the Treasure Chest monster is a creature created by humans, with the purpose of guarding treasure and hunting adventurers who come to seek it.

As for who exactly created them, that remains unknown.
