Chapter 1010: Chapter 405: Unexpected Surprise_3 Chapter 1010: Chapter 405: Unexpected Surprise_3 Returning the way he had come, Yan Fei moved even faster than when he had arrived. He spent much less time reaching the marked coordinates. Just as Yan Fei entered the coordinates, the Auxiliary Brain transmitted information that Upgrade Essential Items for the Drone had been found again.

After perfectly handling Yang Liu, Yan Fei found himself with plenty of time, so he immediately returned to this place. What exactly was the Upgrade Essential Item? Where was it buried?

The location was 250 meters underground and within a 200-meter radius centered on Yan Fei. Even he was not certain he could check everything in this area, so he had let the Artificial Intelligence “Dream” search the Network World earlier to see if any clues could be found to narrow down his search.

After spending time searching, Yan Fei believed that “Dream” must have had some results. However, this place was in a Dark River 250 meters underground, and Yan Fei couldn't connect directly to “Dream”. He could only communicate through the Auxiliary Brain.

Therefore, Yan Fei used the Auxiliary Brain to access the secret mailbox, and indeed, he found a detailed report organized by “Dream”. With this information, Yan Fei gained some understanding of his surroundings. Above this Dark River, there was an Ancient Well that extended to the surface, but the well had long been filled with mud, sand, and rocks.

Even with “Dream's” impressive intelligence-gathering abilities, no other noteworthy place had been discovered besides this Ancient Well. Thus, “Dream” focused its intelligence-gathering efforts on this well. With its formidable abilities, it quickly found clues from various folk tales and legends, neatly organizing them for Yan Fei to know.

According to the Intelligence obtained by “Dream”, this Ancient Well had a long history and was surprisingly related to the end of the Ming Dynasty rebel leader, Li Zicheng. It was said that when Li Zicheng led his army into Beijing, he couldn't believe he had obtained the world so easily. To secure a retreat for himself, he began letting his men loot Beijing wildly, collecting vast quantities of gold, silver, jewels, and precious antiques from officials and the Palace.

Li Zicheng then had these treasures packed into crates and transported out of Beijing. However, nobody expected Li Zicheng to suffer a crushing defeat at Shanhai Pass, causing an immediate reversal in his fortunes. As a result, Li Zicheng was forced to hastily return to Beijing, fleeing with his followers.

During this time, because they had looted so much from Beijing, they hadn't managed to transport all the treasures. Being closely pursued by the Qing soldiers, Li Zicheng ordered his men to hide the treasures they couldn't carry away in an Ancient Well, to be retrieved later. However, Li Zicheng himself soon perished in battle, leaving the hidden treasure untouched. According to “Dream's” analysis, the Ancient Well above Yan Fei's head was exactly where Li Zicheng had hidden his treasure.

Of course, the data collected by “Dream” came from folk tales and thus, wasn't very reliable. During the Qing Dynasty, a bored prince organized a substantial search at this Ancient Well. They even dove to depths of 100 meters below the well, but they found nothing. In a fit of rage, the prince ordered the well to be completely filled, feeling deceived.

The information “Dream” provided Yan Fei was all anecdotal. However, Yan Fei felt it had a high likelihood of being true. Previously, when the Drone used Quantum Radar to scan the area, it had discovered several large chests of gold, silver, and jewels beneath the well, which confirmed that this was indeed where Li Zicheng had hidden his treasure.

But back then, Yan Fei, wealthy and unconcerned, didn't care much for the unaccounted treasures, so he didn't pay much attention to them. After being reminded by “Dream” and considering these treasures were also exactly within the search area for the Drone Upgrade Essential Items, Yan Fei was quite sure the Items he needed were inside those chests.

The chests were buried in the silt at the bottom of the Ancient Well, far from the surface, at a depth of 150 meters. This depth was well beyond the excavation capabilities of that era, which is why the prince's men, searching at a depth of 100 meters, naturally failed to find the treasure.

Yan Fei adjusted his direction, swimming towards the location of those large chests. The Ancient Well was connected to the Dark River, but the well had its own water channel and was not completely the same as the Dark River. That's why the prince had been able to seal the well by filling it.

Yan Fei approached the connecting point between the Ancient Well and the Dark River and began to employ the Mud and Sand Transposition Method from the Universal Space. He quickly entered the well from the Dark River, then dug downward within the well, finally reaching the bottom silt. Buried in that silt were eight large chests.

Yan Fei moved forward and effortlessly collected the eight chests into the Universal Space. Immediately, information appeared on the Auxiliary Brain: “Acquired Drone Upgrade Essential Items, 5/10.”

Yan Fei was shocked. He had gone through great hardships to obtain a single Drone Upgrade Essential Item in Africa. How had the number of items suddenly jumped to five? Could it be that the Drone Upgrade Essential Items the Auxiliary Brain had detected here were not one but four?

If that were the case, it would be an unexpected surprise for Yan Fei!
