Ahhhhh, high-altitude survival!

Chapter 114, 5 Color Stones

In the past, Lin Yue would have hesitated about which one to open. But now, she has two treasure maps!

There's no need to make a choice at all!

Lin Yue took out a treasure map from her bracelet bag. The treasure map was emitting a faint light, as if it were echoing the treasure chest. After thinking for a moment, Lin Yue put it into the slot of the treasure chest on the left.

The moment the treasure map went in, a light, colorful light spread out from the groove. For a moment, Lin Yue was even in a daze, feeling as if she heard melodious music.

As the light faded, a prompt appeared before Lin Yue's eyes: [Confirm to exchange the treasure map for the five-colored stone? Yes/No]

Huh? Can we order more?

Does this mean that after checking the contents of a treasure chest, you can change your mind and get a different one?

"That's quite thoughtful," Lin Yue exclaimed, then pointed her finger towards the "Yes" option.

Although it was human-like, she still didn't intend to try it. She had already learned her lesson from the bats, and now she deeply understood the principle that "delay breeds trouble." In this world full of unknowns and dangers, only what she truly possessed was truly hers.

Just as Lin Yue's finger was about to touch the option, a frantic shout suddenly came from behind her: "Wait!"

The owner of the voice seemed to be running wildly, his words tinged with panting. Upon hearing this shout, Lin Yue felt a sudden surge of alertness and, without thinking, immediately lunged at the light screen with even greater speed than before.

[Redeem successful.]

A stone shimmering with iridescent light appeared in Lin Yue's palm. Its dazzling colors and strange texture seemed to have a similar effect to the surrounding light screen.

Just then, the urgent male voice rushed up to them.

"You... why did you change it? Didn't I tell you to wait?!" The man's expression changed drastically when he saw the stone in Lin Yue's hand. Without saying a word, he reached out and grabbed the stone.

Lin Yue reacted swiftly; with a flick of her hand, the five-colored stone, like a streak of light, was instantly stored in the compartment of her bracelet-shaped pouch. At the same time, her brows furrowed, her eyes filled with wariness: "You think I have to wait just because you tell me to? What are you trying to do??"

The man before them had striking features, a tall and imposing figure, and an air of noble bearing. His clothes were also quite unique; he wore a moon-white Hanfu that fluttered in the wind, paired with long, flowing black hair. Compared to Lin Yue's haphazardly piled-on outfit, his attire appeared much more tidy, exuding an otherworldly elegance.

But Lin Yue didn't care about any of that! Having just gone through what happened with Zhao Yuxuan, she now utterly detested this kind of behavior that suddenly appeared and tried to interfere, especially with handsome men like him. She wished she could build a high wall in her heart to guard against them!

Lin Chenguang looked at the young woman before him, who seemed to be facing a formidable enemy, and was somewhat speechless. He took a deep breath to calm himself down, then took out a square treasure map and held it up in his hand, sincerely saying to Lin Yue, "These five-colored stones aren't of much use to you. I'll exchange this treasure map for it. This way, you can open another chest, which will benefit both of us. What do you say?"

"Don't change!"

Lin Yue refused without hesitation. She already had a treasure map that could open another chest, so why should she trade it with him? Besides, did he really think it was useless just because he said so? If it were truly useless, why would he be in such a hurry for it?

Seeing Lin Yue's still skeptical expression, Lin Chenguang sighed helplessly. Although the five-colored stone wasn't the most crucial part, he had prepared for so long, and if he couldn't obtain it, he would feel it was a setback.

Lin Chenguang stared intently at the girl in front of him, his expression turning serious. He said slowly, "Lin Yue, you're Lin Yue, right?"

Seeing that Lin Yue was just looking at him quietly without responding, he continued, "These five-colored stones are actually tools used to repair cracks. Think about it, do you have anything that you need to repair?"

Lin Yue remained silent, but her eyes held a hint of scrutiny. Lin Chenguang paused slightly, then continued, "The other box contains upgrade stones and a set item. Something similar to what I'm wearing, with all attributes +7. I think this kind of equipment would be more useful to you, right?"

"Hiss..." Lin Yue couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement upon hearing this. +7 to all attributes, what level of equipment must that be!

Seemingly sensing Lin Yue's momentary emotion, Lin Chenguang's expression softened slightly, and his tone became gentler: "Not only that, this set has another feature. It allows you to choose the appearance and style according to your preferences. Most girls like pretty and cute things, and with this, even if you want to design it as a dress, it's perfectly fine and won't affect its attribute values ​​at all."

"!!!"

Lin Yue was shocked, but her expression grew even colder. Seeing that Lin Chenguang remained silent, she finally spoke, "All you've said boils down to wanting the five-colored stone I have. But if it's truly useless, as you say, why have you gone to such lengths to obtain it?"

Lin Chenguang remained silent for a long while before finally speaking softly, "If I told you, would you be willing to give it to me?"

"Tell me first," Lin Yue said, not giving him a direct answer. In truth, she had already made up her mind that she definitely wouldn't change it.

Just like the intense discomfort she felt in her body and mind when she flew down with the Sky Wings before, this time, she could also sense that the five-colored stone had a very special and important meaning for her. No matter what, she would never give it away.

Lin Chenguang narrowed his eyes slightly, carefully examining Lin Yue's expression, but couldn't discern anything. He could only sigh heavily, then slowly said, "Lin Yue, do you know what this high-altitude survival game is?"

"Huh?" Lin Yue was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and blurted out subconsciously, "Isn't this giving people who fall from heights another chance?"

This is the system's initial prompt.

Lin Chenguang nodded: "What you said is not wrong, but actually this space is located in..."

Before Lin Chenguang could finish speaking, a thunderclap suddenly resounded from above without warning!
