Chapter 433: Treasure map

T4 displayed hundreds of crowns decorated in various styles, with different jewels, some of which did not exist on earth. Some were exquisite and others simple, the price differed according to the materials and craftmanship.

"Let’s stick to gold, diamond, rubies and jade. I want only materials that come from earth, I don’t need to be invited to the royal place to explain if I have discovered a rare mineral mine that I am choosing to hide from them. That would be treason I think."

The choices dwindled and only fifty remained.

"So few." she said.

"Yes well, your gold is not that valuable where I come from, remember? And diamonds are mostly sparkly but not considered very valuable. Most of the highly valued jewels on my world are made from a mineral called Verite. Verite has the ability to add a charm and glow to the wearer. Ours are jewels with a purpose not just decoration pieces. I do admit though, the sparkle of a diamond is eye catching."

Her eyes glistened and she asked, "Why haven’t you given me some of those jewels for personal use."

"Because you only drooled over the gold, silver, diamonds and jades. Anyway pick what you want quickly, you have a new mission and this one needs to be rushed."

She picked two crowns, the queen dowager would make her own selection. She needed to see what the urgent mission was because it could not interfere with her pre-planned trip.

Mission: Retrieve the first piece of a treasure map in the city from these coordinates 17.25456,-40.69098. 30 degrees North and 70 degrees west.

Reward: Unknown

Time limit: 8 hours

As a former soldier, reading coordinates was not a problem but she was confused as to why rather than give her a plain and simple direction, the system had give her coordinates.

"T4, why am I getting coordinates?"

"Because the system likes to challenge you once in a while, or maybe it’s just bored. Anyway you are on a time limit here and the system is already counting down, as you can see one whole minute has already gone by."

She input the coordinates into her laptop and searched for the location.

"This is the place, right?" she asked T4.

"Correct." T4 replied.

Normally she had time to canvass the area and see where she was going, study the area for hiding places and danger, see what kind of security she was up against but not today. The system had started counting down before she could even figure out the location. What was so important about this treasure map anyway?

She rung squirrel immediately . "I need you to drive me somewhere right now if you are available."

"I am not around boss, I am in the cold town. Piggy is also here with me, old tiger told us to buy a building close to the construction site for renovation."

She recalled having told old tiger to buy three incomplete buildings that could be renovated into apartments.

"Alright." she ended the call and decided to go on her own.

She went to the parking lot but left her car and took a taxi instead, the plan was to use her motorcycle as soon as she got to safe hidden place if she was in a big hurry.

Because the location was within the capital city itself she did not have to worry about having to catch a flight and come up with with some random story for her family.

She thought that if only all of her missions were like this then things would be simpler for her.

Taking a taxi delayed her by two hours and forty eight minutes. The eight hours she had been given were now almost in half. So when the taxi dropped her off outside Hongtong market, she disappeared into the crowd with ease. This market had buildings and stalls, most of the stalls sold second hand clothing and used house hold items but the buildings were different, the shops had owners and they sold mostly electronics and new house hold items.

She noticed that some of the women working in the market stalls had a specific type of scarf that they had wrapped around their neck or head. It reminded her that she had not worn a disguise because she left her office in a hurry so she stopped by a stall selling second hand clothing and she bought a similar brown scarf with tiny white peonies.

"Excellent choice, this is one of our best sellers, the big celebrity Su Xiaoxiao was seen wearing it in her new advert for Son fashions. A classy woman like yourself will look very beautiful in it. You have really beautiful skin, it’s so smooth and clear, what kind of products do you use? Is it endorsed by a celebrity? You have to be very careful about those products lately, a female celebrity was caught by a paparazzo using a different product from the one she endorses. "

The vendor selling the scarf was a particularly talkative woman that jumped from one topic to the next in an instant without waiting for a reply. The whole time she was talking Chi Lian was waiting for her change because the scarf cost twenty yuan and she had handed over a two hundred yuan note.

The vendor sluggishly checked her purse for the balance but Chi Lian who was in a hurry started getting impatient.

"Please give me a minute, I think I have run out of small notes. The scarf has been flying off the market since morning and all my change is gone...."

As she was explaining two girls came over to look at clothes and Chi Lian dug a pair of shades out of her purse and put them on.

"Keep the change." Chi Lian she told the woman. She wrapped the scarf over her head and walked away.

"Wait, miss, wait..." she heard the vendor calling but she increased her pace and just kept going.

"Phew!! I thought she would never stop talking." T4 said. "You spent twenty five minutes there and fifteen of those were spent listening to that woman talk about this and that."

"Where am I going next?" she asked him. She was standing in the middle of the road and deciding between six buildings that were similar in appearance.

She could tell that she had arrived, somewhere in this market in one of these buildings was her final destination. She remembered something that she had brought but not used.

She had a round golden compass in her hands and when she looked at it, it was pointing in the direction of a specific building.

"Is that it?" she asked herself.

She sent two drone ahead to navigate the ten storied building and see what was ahead before she could step foot inside. She could not just go inside shouting out ’Searching for a treasure map.’
