Roaming through the world of Doraemon

"Yes, that's what our family's prophet said. He also said that I would meet a benefactor in this forest who would change my life forever. I think it must be my master. I will follow my master to glory, and I am willing to dedicate my whole life to my master!" At this moment, Nobita was as devout as a drug-addicted believer, and Nobita was like a sect leader receiving Nobita's worship.

"Master, in this world, there is simply no one more qualified than you to obtain this divine artifact. Master should immediately fly to the highest tree to obtain the artifact and lead us to new glory. My great master, praise be to you!"

Nobita showered Nobita with praise, and anyone unaware of the truth would surely think Nobita and his gang were involved in some kind of cult. But this was simply the cultural tradition of this world.

Chapter Twelve: Infinite Artifacts (Part One)

"Ding! Congratulations, host, for successfully capturing Snemis, one of the Three Musketeers of Dreams, and naming him Nobita. You are rewarded with the high-level skill White Dragon's Eye. Please check it out!"

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Nobita, and the system's notification sounded in his mind.

I never expected that I could so easily sweep through Suneo, this little boss, and he would give me a bunch of high-level skills right from the start. This system is quite humane. But I'm also lucky that I have the strength to crush this cowardly and two-faced guy. If it were the original Nobita logging into the game, he would probably be getting a beating from this guy.

Da Xiong casually opened the system backpack and saw a golden, glowing thread-bound book placed squarely at the very top. The entire backpack contained only one skill book given by the system, which was indeed quite meager. However, "980" had really done a good job pushing Xiao Fu, giving him a high-level skill right off the bat, which was comparable to his own high-level mental magic. It could be said that he had made a huge profit.

The system gave him a skill book for free, so he opened it without hesitation. Nobita opened the golden thread-bound skill book without any doubt.

"Ding dong, the advanced skill book White Dragon's Eye has been successfully used!"

【The Eye of the White Dragon】

Advanced Detection Techniques

Attribute: Can detect all attributes and skills of friendly and enemy units within 100 units of the host, with a maximum level difference of 30 levels.

After using the skill book, Da Xiong immediately gained a high-level skill called "White Dragon's Eye" in his attribute box, along with a detailed description of the skill. Although the text was short, Da Xiong felt that the system's gift of this skill was incredibly powerful.

As long as the monsters are not more than 30 levels above the current player's level, all attributes of the monsters within a 100-meter radius are clearly visible to Da Xiong.

Nobita has already seen Doraemon's attributes demonstrated and shared by Doraemon himself. Since Suneo, who just happened to come to the door, is right next to us, it would be a waste not to test him out.

Ding Dong!

"White Dragon's Eye successfully activated!"

Name: Nobita

Age: 10 years old

Rating: 15

Power: 13

Agility: 17

Intelligence: 20

Luck: 70

Props: none

Skills: Basic Swordsmanship, Advanced Chaos Aura

Wow, Suneo's stats are like a high-end mini-boss in the early game. All his stats are relatively balanced, and his individual stats completely surpass Nobita and Doraemon before they were buffed. If it weren't for Nobita's overwhelming mental strength, it would be hard to say whether he could defeat Suneo now.

What's strange is that Suneo, besides being better than Nobita and Doraemon, actually has a beginner level and a high-level skill. Beginner level swordsmanship should be something that all the natives of this swordsmanship world should know, but it's a bit strange that the high-level Chaos Aura didn't come out in the battle just now.

Nobita knew that the skill level difference between each stage in this game was huge. Take his mental magic and the high-level White Dragon Eye that the system gave him after he captured Suneo, for example. They could be said to be extremely powerful skills. Suneo also had a high-level skill, but Nobita noticed why this skill hadn't been activated.

Thinking of this, Nobita couldn't help but examine Suneo's advanced skill. Upon seeing it, Nobita realized that this skill was truly an essential skill for murder, robbery, and one-on-one duels, but only Suneo could equip it.

Chaos Aura

Advanced group skills

Attribute: Nobita's exclusive skill. When used, Nobita can activate it through taunting, insulting, etc. After successful activation, the enemy's four main attributes will be randomly reduced by 5-10 points.

Activation condition: Can be activated when the enemy's Intelligence attribute is lower than Nobita's.

Suneo's Chaos Aura is practically a mindless taunting aura. Its activation condition is taunting and insulting—only someone as arrogant and obnoxious as Suneo could possess such an aura. However, this skill isn't something you can activate at will; it fails when facing someone with a higher intelligence stat. Suneo has 20 intelligence points, which is quite high, but Nobita's intelligence starts at 80, far surpassing Suneo's. Suneo can't activate it even if he wants to, and can only be obediently crushed...

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have triggered the main quest 'Dream Trio.' The number of Dream Trio members is currently 2/3. When you have gathered the trio, the first stage of the quest will be unlocked, and you will be rewarded with a high-level treasure chest."

Just as Nobita was checking Suneo's attributes, the system's voice came from his ear. Hearing this mission, Nobita was secretly delighted. A decent game consists of main quests, side quests, and other miscellaneous tasks. He and Doraemon hadn't triggered any missions since entering the game, but he didn't expect that capturing Suneo would trigger a main quest that would advance the entire game.

Judging from the progress of the mission, besides recruiting Suneo, there should be another Dream Trio. If I'm not mistaken, based on the system's usual behavior, they should be people I know well. Now I just need to wait to meet this last person to trigger the second stage of the main quest.

However, the rewards for this stage of the main quest are truly amazing. You start with a high-level treasure chest, and you won't lose out no matter what you get inside. High-level equipment and high-level skills—it's actually quite exciting to think about.

Thinking of this, Nobita couldn't help but wipe his hands and asked Suneo with a hint of jealousy, "Suneo, besides you, is there anyone else who knows about this treasure?"

"There shouldn't be any more. This is a secret scroll of our family, which ordinary people can't access. So this treasure must belong to you, the master who possesses supreme glory." Suneo, who had been tamed by Nobita like a devout believer, answered Nobita's question with utmost sincerity, using all his flattery skills.

Suneo's respectful reply made Nobita realize that the first stage of the main quest wasn't so easy to complete. It seemed he would have to retrieve the treasure on the map first. The third person, the Dream Swordsman, would probably be encountered on the way to the next quest, since the system wouldn't create an unsolvable quest to frustrate the player.

Chapter Thirteen: Infinite Artifacts (Part Two)

Nobita's guess was not without reason. Given the nature of game design, the main quest of a game will definitely run through the entire storyline from beginning to end. The first main quest, which is to gather the three dream musketeers, should be a natural and easy task for Nobita and Doraemon.

Thinking of this, Nobita's eyes lit up, and he decided to take the treasure on Suneo's family's treasure map first. It was a rare treat for the game system to give out such a benefit right from the start, and it would be a waste of the system's kindness in giving away treasures if he didn't accept it.

The treasure map of the Suneo family is soft to the touch, with a smooth texture like a piece of silk; you can't tell at all that it's made of sheepskin.

However, what puzzled Nobita was that the location of the treasure on this small treasure map was too simple and straightforward. It simply marked a white, gleaming sword-shaped symbol in the very center of a forest. The Suneo family had been hoarding this treasure map for so long, had no one come to take this easy-to-find treasure that looked just like it was lying on the roadside?

Touching the treasure map from top to bottom, he couldn't understand the system's mysterious settings. However, based on the location of the towering tree that Nobita had seen when he flew down, he figured the treasure map couldn't be too fake. So, regardless of whether there was any treasure on the map or not, Nobita wanted to go to the giant tree in the center of the forest to take a look. His intuition from years of gaming told him that there must be something good waiting for him there.

"Nobita, is there something wrong with this treasure map?"

Doraemon watched Nobita's fingers rubbing the parchment scroll Suneo had handed him, seemingly deep in thought, and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"I didn't find any problems, but our next phase of the game might be related to this treasure map. I'd like to check out the ground depicted on the map first."

As a team player who entered the game with Nobita, Nobita was automatically designated as the team leader by the system, and Doraemon was defined as a team member. Nobita received the main quest, and Doraemon also received a confirmation system message after Suneo joined the team, becoming familiar with the information of the next stage of the game's mission.

However, knowing the information is one thing, but finding the only remaining third member of the team is the real challenge in solving this stage of the mission. Although Doraemon has played many different games before, he is still clueless when faced with this highly free virtual game for the first time.

However, Doraemon, as Nobita's best friend, readily agreed to Nobita's decision, trusting him completely. He then took out a bamboo copter from his pocket, put it on his head, and leaped into the air.

Seeing Nobita floating in the air and Doraemon using some unknown method to fly, Suneo, left alone on the ground, couldn't help but feel a little panicked.

So you two both have the ability to fly, and you looted all my equipment from top to bottom. Before you could even finish those three sentences, you were already preparing to take my family's treasure map and head to the second dungeon, leaving me behind. Seeing this, Nobita, who thought he had found a powerful backer, immediately became nervous.

"My majestic Nobita and wise Doraemon, are you going to abandon your most devoted servants?"

The forest night was bleak and desolate, filled with the chirping of insects and the roars of beasts. Knowing that he was only wearing his underwear and that it was impossible for him to leave the forest, and that he might be devoured by the monsters along the way, Suneo burst into tears and snot, sobbing and pleading with Nobita and Doraemon. He looked utterly miserable.

"Oh, I almost forgot about you, Doraemon. Give him a set of bamboo copters and have him come with us to the giant tree."

The cries of Suneo by the campfire mingled with the various noises in the forest at night, making it impossible for Nobita not to hear or see them. However, what Nobita didn't expect was that the character of Suneo in the game was exactly the same as the real Suneo: arrogant and domineering when he was successful, and servile, cowardly, and weak when he was vulnerable.

As soon as the two took off, Suneo's inner emotions erupted instantly, revealing the cowardly and weak side of his personality, almost on par with Nobita's old self.

After hearing Nobita's instructions, Doraemon took out a bamboo copter from his pocket and threw it to Suneo, instructing him on how to wear and use it to fly. Suneo held the bamboo copter given to him by Doraemon, trembling with excitement.

"Thank you, thank you for your kindness, Nobita-sama, and thank you for the magical gadgets, Doraemon-sama."

In this world, magical items that allow one to fly are all legendary treasures, and it's quite an achievement to even see one. Xiao Fu's mood immediately soared like a rollercoaster, from the bottom to the top, as he secretly rejoiced at having found the right powerful backer.

Seeing Suneo's delighted expression, Nobita was speechless. He had already used the White Dragon Eye's detection technique to examine Doraemon's gadgets, but there was no level or information indication. It was clear that Doraemon's gadgets were incompatible with the rules of this world. The gadgets could be used, but they could not be reasonably quantified and recognized by the world in this game world.

With Xiao Fu as the third member of the team, the group immediately flew through the night sky above the forest. Through the forest shimmering in the moonlight, Da Xiong realized that this forest was indeed enormous. They had been flying for nearly three hours and still hadn't reached the very center of the treasure map (the location of the treasure map). This forest was probably comparable to the Amazon rainforest in the real world.

Fortunately for Nobita, although the forest was large, the night sky was quiet enough that they did not discover any wild monsters that came from the forest to ambush them. Otherwise, this flight would probably have taken more than three hours, and it might have taken three days to complete the current journey.

Despite their complaints, Nobita and Doraemon flew for about an hour longer. The most vibrant sunlight of the day slowly spread from the edge of the forest, and the sky gradually brightened. Their destination, the towering tree at the very center of the treasure map, finally came into view.

Unlike the trees in a typical forest, this towering tree had a system notification box similar to the one used for the mission. Out of curiosity, Da Xiong suddenly flew closer and cast a White Dragon Detection spell.

Chapter Fourteen: Infinite Artifacts (Part Three)

You don't know until you cast this detection spell; once it was cast, the giant tree displayed a bunch of information that startled Da Xiong, who was flying in the air using his mental power.

【Genesis Building Wood】

God-level materials

Attributes: Approximately 10,000 ren tall, said to be the ancient mother tree that created all things, a bridge connecting heaven, earth, humanity, and the divine world, and indestructible.

"The Creation Tree?" Looking at the information fed back from the system, Da Xiong couldn't help but murmur as he gazed at the colossal tree that seemed to stretch to the horizon.

In ancient Chinese mythology, such as the Classic of Mountains and Seas, as well as various Western mythologies, there is a giant tree that spans heaven and earth. Some of these trees play a role comparable to God in creating all things, while others serve as a bridge connecting heaven and earth, carrying ancient sages to climb to the heavens and the earth. But no matter which role they play, they cannot erase the existence of this magical giant tree.

What's more, there are three pieces of information about this giant tree that completely captivated Nobita. The first is that, unlike other trees in the forest, this tree has its own attribute box, and the attributes it displays really startled Nobita.

Since entering the game, Nobita's proud mental strength, which crushed the alien Iron Man Legion, has only been rated as high-level by the game system. However, this tree was immediately rated as god-level by the system. This god-level rating could not help but make Nobita take notice of something behind this giant tree.

Besides being designated as a god-level material by the system, the second point is the sentence that appears most frequently in the system's attributes description: "It is about 10,000 ren tall (approximately 10,000 meters). It is said to be the mother tree of the world that created all things, and also a bridge connecting heaven, earth, humans, and gods." The mythical significance of this tree made Da Xiong a little curious.

Finally, and thirdly, this giant tree, which is taller than Mount Everest, the highest peak in the real world, is indestructible in the game. This means that no matter what attacks players or monsters make on this giant tree, they will be ineffective. This simple attribute of the World Tree makes one think.

However, no matter how much he looked and thought, this incredibly powerful creation tree could only give Nobita two short sentences. The specific content would probably only be revealed in other parts of the tree. Nobita did not hesitate. Since he had already come to the tree, wouldn't it be a waste not to climb to the top?

"Doraemon, the location of this Genesis Tree is right in the middle of the map. If there really is treasure here, according to the game design pattern, it should be at the very top of this giant tree. There shouldn't be any mistake."

Nobita's gaze swept over the towering tree from top to bottom. In the real world, let alone trees tens of thousands of meters tall, even trees a hundred meters tall are extremely rare. He never expected that such a tree existed in this world. He had to admire the advanced technology of future humans, which was so powerful that they were able to restore this mythical giant tree.

Despite their feelings, Nobita and Doraemon did not forget the purpose of their visit to this game. The two of them, along with Suneo, took advantage of the situation and began to climb from the bottom of the giant tree along its trunk to the top.

It must be said that this legendary giant tree truly did not disappoint Nobita and Doraemon. The diameter of the main trunk alone reached hundreds of meters, and the branches extending from it were tens of meters long. The size of the branches and leaves alone was the size of a small car. The astonishment truly surprised Nobita and Doraemon.

Suneo, who was following behind Nobita and Doraemon, was also frightened by the giant tree of such a size. Now he finally understood why his family had had this treasure map for many years, but no one had ever obtained the treasure on it.

Leaving aside the journey and hardships involved in reaching this treasure location, once you arrive at such a place and see the legendary Creation Tree, you have absolutely no idea or way to conquer it. The towering tree is awe-inspiring, not just in its form, but more so in its power to subdue the human heart.

However, Suneo in this world also owes a debt to Nobita and Doraemon, these two outsider gamers. Otherwise, if he were on his own, he would probably still be circling outside the forest or being devoured by the wild beasts in the forest. Thinking of this, Suneo felt sincerely grateful for Nobita and Doraemon's gift and in awe of Nobita's strength.

Just as Suneo was distracted following Nobita and Doraemon, a sudden presence was detected by Nobita's mental power in the middle of the giant tree. Sensing the image fed back by his mental power, Nobita squinted and said, "Huh, I didn't expect there to be other people here besides us."

"Nobita, did you discover something?" Seeing Nobita holding his breath and frozen in mid-air without moving forward, Doraemon flew to Nobita's side and asked in confusion.

"Our spiritual power has detected a person in the middle of this tree. Interesting. Let's go up and take a look; perhaps we'll find something different."

Nobita, Doraemon, and Suneo flew along the giant tree for over an hour but found no trace of life on it. Nobita didn't even spot a tiny insect. The tree was frighteningly clean and healthy.

But just when Nobita thought his future was going smoothly and he would be able to fly to the top, his outward-extending spiritual power sensed traces of human activity. Through the images fed back by his spiritual power, he realized that this person was not just moving around on the giant tree. He was climbing a giant tree that was tens of thousands of meters high, and his speed was terrifying. He was not intimidated by the majesty of the giant tree at all.
