"What exactly is order? Order is dignity!" —Otherworldly Rules 51144331

"Opening treasure chests is a fun quest! Think about it, if there weren't any chests, why would there be so many clues? Ben, guess where I got this treasure map?" Loki, holding a torch, led the way, scouting the area. The interior of the Zul'Farrak Temple was exceptionally large! Even if a dragon were to wander in, it could easily be accommodated.

"Brother Loki, it's not like it's a monster drop, is it? I know most of the 'fragments' in the auction house are fake. Even worse, some just put old treasure chests back in their place, filled with 'eco-friendly' items, and make the First Men buy them with their life savings," Benjamin said. He was no longer worried about it. He thought, "I definitely wouldn't dare come on my own. Oh well! I can't worry about that now. I need to figure out how to pay off my debts first! If Professor Schopenhauer scolds me... I'll just say Loki insisted on dragging me here..." (Benjamin was very clever; he even planned his escape route. Loki, on the other hand, didn't care about any of that. If you were willing to team up, that was already a favor; he didn't hold back, they'd share the profits, and if there were any good "elite monsters," they'd fight them together!)

"What you're saying is old news. There aren't that many foolish, easily deceived people on the streets these days. Even the ancients were very wise. Some of them even secretly trained as warriors, mages, or warlocks. They didn't bother with the otherworldly exams (Note: Unable to 'unlock' intermediate and advanced class skills; leveling up is unaffected). They just lived their lives peacefully." As he spoke, Loki smashed through a wall with his "Mold of the Creator." He wanted to see if there was a "treasure chest" behind it.

"Wow! I've finally seen something like this! Your Creator's Hammer even has a faint silver sheen! No need to light a torch anymore, can't we just use it for lighting? Brother Loki?" Benjamin tried to say something flattering.

"It's too dark. Remember! No matter how good the weapon is, it can't replace a tool, right? A torch is a torch. The 'Forging Hammer' is for forging and crafting. I'm at 10% proficiency now, but you can't master a divine weapon just by practicing. I've tried it before, against monsters! Against the air! Against water! Swinging it around non-stop... Guess what?! My weapon proficiency didn't increase, it decreased!!" Loki would share some special experiences when he was bored. Especially "knowledge points" that Benjamin was completely unaware of.

"I've learned something! Hey, so you're the only one with a divine artifact. Senior Brother Edward once tried to use the 'Wrath of the Crescent Moon,' but he failed (the chances were slim, it exploded)!" Benjamin said. He followed closely behind Loki, afraid of triggering or accidentally stepping on a mechanism. Even with superior magic, the exit would be completely blocked. Destroying the entire temple was no joke. (According to the "new rules" of this other world, unauthorized alteration, destruction, or movement of "coordinate structures" on the map is illegal. It incurs a level three "mental lash" punishment. The punishment is a minor matter; the reputation of this "other world" will be damaged...)

"There's nothing here! Where is it?? Don't just follow me, Ben, you look for it too, maybe you can find it first!" Loki was really at his wit's end! Insufficient light and limited visibility were one problem; the main issue was that this "dungeon" had just too many branching paths. Neither Loki nor Edward's minimaps were fully unfolded.

"Okay, Loki. I'll check the right side!" Benjamin tried to walk carefully on his own. He secretly activated a high agility spell (very mana-intensive). If he accidentally stepped on something, he could escape within 01 seconds. (Benjamin family attribute: Agility)

Loki entered a passageway resembling a basement. The spacious area was filled with neatly arranged "stone monuments." Each stone tombstone was inscribed with ancient texts: "The great dragons are Volka's eternal benefactors; the tomb of the kind and friendly warriors; long live the tribe, may its life continue..."

Loki glanced at a few before quickly leaving. He knew treasure chests couldn't be placed inside tombstones. "What difference would that make me a grave robber?" Loki wondered to himself. (The "treasure chest" quest was originally a gift of order. In ancient times, leveling up was extremely difficult for early heroes. The "skills" taught by elven "magicians" and the "blue equipment" they crafted couldn't meet the needs of many low-level heroes. Thus, "random treasure chests" came into being. Scattered throughout the world, waiting for those destined to open them! Now, tens of thousands of years have passed. The treasure chest quest remains "everlasting"! It has never been deleted! It seems everyone really enjoys being favored by "Lady Luck"...)

Along the way, Benjamin VI would also see tombstones in some dark rooms, and he would bow respectfully and carefully wipe away the cobwebs. He thought, "These deceased heroes must have done good things. Otherwise, they would not deserve to be buried here."

"The Temple of Zul is huge! It's like a maze!" Benjamin VI took out a map and sat down to study it carefully. His "Focus" had improved. ("Focus" is a passive skill triggered by high-level mages. Elders like Schopenhauer and Elder Sun Yun have a Focus score of over 300. Loki's innate attribute is "Exploration," hence his Focus score is high at 400 and still rising. Benjamin's Focus score is only 50, down from 45 before entering the temple.)

"Got it, bro! Send me your location so I don't get lost!"

Loki didn't rush to open the treasure chest. He waited in place!

"Wow! How well hidden! You actually found it, Loki!" Benjamin exclaimed, wiping his brow. The treasure chest was actually located in a "mezzanine"! Between the first and second floors, at the junction of the beams—a very well-hidden spot!

"I'll count to three, and we'll open it together!" Loki said.

"Okay, sure!"

As Loki expected, the treasure chest contained valuable items!

The entire stairwell was gleaming with the light of gold coins.

"Too bad there's no equipment! It's a coin chest! About 100 million gold coins. Let's each get 50, deducting what we already have, you get 40, how about that?" Loki suggested.
