CHAPTER 117: CHAPTER 117 INCOMPLETE SPIRIT TREASURY

EDITOR: DRAGON BOAT TRANSLATION

Flourishing Sakura Country, Tokyo Narita International Airport.

As the largest international airport in Flourishing Sakura Country, the cargo throughput and daily passenger volume here were beyond imagination. Red Fox, holding a blue British Shorthair, blended in with a group of British tourists, attracting no attention.

Originally, Ren Suo had planned to have Red Fox take a taxi, but on the way, a kind-hearted lady asked her if she wanted a ride. Since they were also heading to the Port Area, she got on board directly.

Red Fox’s Charm ability was constantly at work—it was a power that transcended gender, as if she were a Paper Person who had stepped out of an anime, irresistible to both men and women.

Red Fox was here, of course, to ignite the Flourishing Sakura Spirit Vein.

The first to agree to trade with Mysterious Country was Flourishing Sakura Country. Ren Suo wasn’t surprised. After all, it had been seven or eight days since Mysterious Country had ignited its Spirit Veins, and the changes within the country were likely very noticeable. Flourishing Sakura Country, separated by a sea, naturally observed this and could even directly detect the rise in Mysterious Country’s Spiritual Energy.

Moreover, Mysterious Country had a strong presence in Flourishing Sakura Country. Old Zhao, during his conversation with the Pangolin, had mentioned arranging for the small creature responsible for the Flourishing Sakura Spirit Vein to first seek Shelter with the Mysterious Faction members in the Tokyo Metropolis.

Compared to other countries, Mysterious Country chose to make its first deal with Flourishing Sakura because there were factions within Flourishing Sakura that shared political ideologies with Mysterious Country and were helping to facilitate the connections.

Being the fourth largest political party in Flourishing Sakura and a force that could be recognized by the newcomers of Mysterious Country, the Mysterious Faction’s Energy was not to be underestimated, and it certainly included Mysterious Country’s intelligence personnel.

But Ren Suo naturally refused this offer.

He needed to conduct a field survey first, simply because Ren Suo didn’t know exactly where the Spirit Vein in Flourishing Sakura Country was.

Flourishing Sakura Country’s population ranked in the top ten in the world. Although it was globally ranked 62nd in land area, it was an archipelago much like Britain, which meant there was a decent chance of finding a Spirit Vein there.

However, it differed from many other countries, with many potential Spirit Veins, quite peculiarly.

In Brazil, for example, the Spirit Vein was likely the symbol of Rio and Brazil—Mount Jesus.

In the Pacific Federation, it mostly included Mount Rushmore, Yellowstone, the Statue of Liberty, or even the original copy of the Declaration of Independence.

In Flourishing Sakura Country, however, there were two capitals, Capital City and Tokyo, each with various landmarks thought to symbolize Flourishing Sakura, including Himeji Castle, Osaka Castle, and Mount Fuji among the possibilities...

Without a preliminary field survey, it would be embarrassing to identify the wrong Spirit Vein later on, Ren Suo thought.

But based on my previous two searches in the Spirit Treasury, it’s likely that the Spirit Treasury is in the country’s real capital. That’s why I had Red Fox head straight to the Tokyo Metropolis, Ren Suo reasoned.

Turning on his Spiritual Vision while in the car, he could see two beams of light from a distance—the 634-meter Tokyo Skytree and the 333-meter Tokyo Tower.

Although both structures aren’t very old in Tokyo Metropolis, they could indeed be considered ’Spirit Veins’. Since the Tokyo Tower is slightly older, I’ll have Red Fox check it first, Ren Suo decided.

Upon reaching the Port Area, she went under the red Tokyo Tower, and Red Fox touched the light column for 10 minutes but did not receive any indication that the Spirit Vein had activated.

However, Tokyo Tower gave her quite a surprise—it increased her Evolution Ability by 1%! Ren Suo noted.

10 minutes for 1%, 6% in one hour, and 18 hours could yield one evolution!

But it still can’t compare to browsing antiques or searching Spirit Treasuries,

he reflected.

Indeed, Mysterious Country and Britain also have similar ’Spiritual Energy Structures’ where one can level up by just being nearby, but their efficiency isn’t as fast as Tokyo Tower’s. At least, it takes over an hour there to rise by 1%, Ren Suo recalled.

Could it be that the Tokyo Tower has a stronger effect in condensing Spiritual Energy?

When Ren Suo activated his Spiritual Vision to closely observe, he noticed that the light column of Spiritual Energy from Tokyo Tower actually had slight respiratory fluctuations—it dimmed a bit.

At the same time, at the very distant top of Tokyo Skytree, a thin line extended in the dark Spiritual Vision field of view, interacting with Tokyo Tower.

Having absorbed so many Spiritual Objects, this was the first time Ren Suo had seen two building-based Spiritual Objects form a connection, prompting him to send Red Fox rushing over.

By the time Red Fox reached the Tokyo Skytree, it was already night.

As Red Fox approached, Ren Suo realized, The Spiritual Energy column of the Tokyo Skytree isn’t dense but rather thin; Red Fox can even directly enter it!

Since I’ve never visited Tokyo myself, I’ll have Red Fox purchase tickets for both the First and Second Observation Decks—and use Charm to make everyone overlook the British Shorthair Red Fox keeps petting, Ren Suo planned.

Passengers couldn’t directly reach the 450-meter Second Observation Deck. They had to go up from 350 meters first.

It was unclear whether today was a holiday or if it was usually like this, but the First Observation Deck was incredibly crowded, teeming with people. Occasionally, Ren Suo even heard Mandarin. Apparently, this is a must-visit spot in Tokyo, he thought.

Ren Suo had no choice but to have Red Fox use Charm, making the crowd naturally clear a path for this ’strongest beautiful girl on earth.’ She graciously boarded the elevator and reached the 445-meter Sky Corridor in merely 30 seconds, then proceeded step by step along the approximately 110-meter sloping corridor, arriving at the 450th layer, the Second Observation Deck.

Hmm, the Tokyo night view seen through the windows of the Second Observation Deck isn’t bad, Ren Suo commented to himself.

After all, Lianjiang City also boasts a 600-meter-tall structure with a 454-meter tower, Lianjiang Tower, complete with a thrilling Ferris wheel on top—I’m already accustomed to such elevated views, he remembered.

Of course, this kind of scenery seen through the screen is almost as real as the photos seen in social media feeds, he mused.

If I took a screenshot of Red Fox overlooking the Tokyo night view and sent it to Mom and Dad claiming I got a girlfriend, they’d probably think this girl was blind in one eye rather than suspect the image was fake...

On the way up, Red Fox had taken at least ten minutes, but the game still hadn’t prompted anything, and Ren Suo had lost hope. Apparently, Flourishing Sakura’s Spirit Vein isn’t easy to find, he thought despondently.

Or perhaps, Flourishing Sakura doesn’t have a Spirit Vein at all, which would render this waiting time a complete waste, he considered.

Just as Ren Suo was preparing for Red Fox to leave, the game prompt finally arrived belatedly—

"You have found the Flourishing Sakura Spirit Treasury (incomplete)!"

"Would you like to unlock the Flourishing Sakura Spirit Treasury? You may prematurely unlock the Spirit Treasury and, as a reward, gain exclusive Evolution Abilities."

"Caution: Unlocking the Flourishing Sakura Spirit Treasury will lead to a series of unpredictable consequences."

"Caution: After unlocking the Flourishing Sakura Spirit Treasury, you will gain one ’Trump Card Evolution.’"

"Caution: Flourishing Sakura Spirit Treasury may automatically unlock in 20 days."

"Skytree"

"Spiritual Energy Quantity: ???"

"Time Required to Unlock: 1 instance, each instance requires 24 hours"

"Nation-Protecting: ???"

"Spirit Treasury incomplete: This Spirit Treasury is in a gathering state, requiring only one instance to unlock, but doubling the unlocking time to completely activate the various split Spirit Veins."
