Super Detective in the Fictional World Chapter 1707 – Now This Is a Real Jungle Treasure Hunt

Chapter 1707: Now This Is a Real Jungle Treasure Hunt

For the next few days, Luke and Selina went out to play during the day and returned to Isis Base at night.

Luke put the Blood Orchids that had bloomed in the last few days into his inventory.

Ever since he took control of this base, Luke had only ever dealt with the Blood Orchid extract, and had never obtained a live orchid.

Now that the Blood Orchid was finally in bloom, he naturally had to preserve it in his inventory to study later.

He rarely used Life 1 to begin with since its effects were still indeterminate. He also had the Light of Life Dagger and Light of Life as substitutes for healing.

He could wait two years for the next batch of Blood Orchids to bloom before he replenished the extract.

What he really needed to think about was the harsh conditions required for the Blood Orchid to grow.

So far, Luke had tried all sorts of methods, including transplanting the soil and imitating climate conditions, but to no avail.

The Blood Orchids could only survive in this strange valley, and couldn’t be cultivated in Space 2.

He had even given Claudia two Blood Orchids, but she hadn’t been able to keep them alive.

/

Judging from Claudia’s mental fluctuations, she hadn’t given it her best, and had only gone through the motions.

She was slightly surprised by her failure, but also gloated a little.

This meant that even if she could cultivate the Blood Orchid, it definitely wouldn’t be easy to do so.

Besides, who knew if the Blood Orchid she cultivated would have the same effect. It was possible that some new lethal variant would be created.

For the past few days, Luke had traveled around the area with Selina and the dog head in search of a suitable place to plant the Blood Orchids.

They hadn’t found anything so far, and so just played in the jungle for a few more days.

But Luke had already made up his mind.

They would leave in ten days at most if they didn’t find a suitable new location for the Blood Orchids. By then, the Blood Orchids in the valley would basically be at the end of their life cycle.

Besides, he was taking Selina on this trip to play, not to be a savage.

No matter how fun a jungle adventure was, ten days was enough.

After they left, Isis would continue exploring the area with drones. At most, it was just a slightly slower and slightly more troublesome process.

But Isis wasn’t human, and wasn’t responsible for anything else, so there was no rush.

During the week, they expanded their search range to 100 kilometers, but still couldn’t find a location where the Blood Orchids could survive.

On the other hand, the dog head’s “little hoard” increased day by day. It could be sold for 200,000 to 300,000 dollars in total. It was really… worth nothing.

Any one of the gang bigshots on Luke’s blacklist would earn him hundreds of times more than that.

However, the most important thing for a dog was to be happy.

Gold Nugget had indeed been very happy recently, so good for it.

Today, two people and one dog went up the river again, and the dog head was still looking for treasure.

As it found a rusty knife in the river and proudly showed off the gems embedded in it to Selina, the drone, which was flying at a low altitude of 50 meters, suddenly sent a warning.

On the drone screen, smoke was rising from the trees a kilometer away, which meant that there was probably a jungle fire.

There were a lot of fires in the Amazon jungle, but most of them were deliberately lit by farmers and loggers.

However, this area was deep in no man’s land and there weren’t any big rivers nearby. Logically speaking, it shouldn’t be farmers or poachers who were causing trouble.

They had nothing better to do anyway.

Luke put the boat away. Two people and one dog flew slowly through the jungle in their suits and approached the fire.

Although they moved slowly, it was still much faster than walking. They covered a kilometer in less than two minutes.

100 meters away from the fire, however, Luke and Selina paused when they heard faint screams.

Looking at each other, they activated the stealth function on their suits and sped up.

The dog head was a little slower to react, but it immediately followed suit.

A few seconds later, a large tribe appeared in front of them.

Looking at the situation, Luke and Selina frowned.

A dozen armed men were beating up a group of natives and firing their guns every now and then.

A dozen natives had already collapsed inside the small shacks of the tribe. Most of them were covered in blood and didn’t move, and only a few who had been shot in the leg screamed and cursed.

Selina asked, “Do we take action?”

Luke checked the system’s good and evil panel, and immediately saw a bunch of new names in Spanish, all of which were so red that they were almost black.

Without any hesitation, he took out an MP7 from his inventory and fired.

100 meters away, the heads of the dozen armed men exploded like balloons in a playground.

Selina, who hadn’t closed her mouth yet: …

Gold Nugget, who had just run up behind them: …

“Cough, cough. Don’t mind them, they’re small fry.” Luke coughed and floated over. “Let’s go and see what we can get this time.”

He wasn’t moving toward the natives’ camp, but to three small speedboats on the river.

This was how the gunmen had come.

The things which these brawny men had on them very likely had been looted from this tribe.

Luke thought nothing of those.

The speedboats definitely belonged to these criminals. They had only just started their operation, and had yet to move the loot to the boats.

Compared with searching the criminals one by one, moving the entire boats with just a thought was undoubtedly more convenient, and the three of them didn’t have to reveal themselves.

Ten minutes later, two people and one dog were sitting on their own barge once more.

Gold Nugget was looking at Luke very meaningfully.

Luke said, “Alright, don’t give me that look. We’ll consider this a shared mission and split the gains.”

Delighted, the dog rubbed its head against his calf.

Luke said, “Okay, I’m going to chuck them out, and we can take stock.”

While he knew what was in the three speedboats once they entered his inventory, he could still let Selina and Gold Nugget have some fun.

He had earned the points too quickly just now, and hadn’t given the other party a chance to attack.

The main thing was that if Selina had been the one to dispose of those criminals, Luke would have lost 50% of the experience and credit points.

Gold Nugget was an alien creature and had always been discriminated against by the system; no matter what, the system didn’t count it as a teammate.

Luke didn’t get any experience or credit points whenever Gold Nugget killed bad guys.

That was why he had been so quick to act earlier.

Now that they were checking their spoils, he naturally couldn’t hog the task for himself.

Gold Nugget’s eyes glowed when Luke tossed the spoils onto the deck.

The small pile of dazzling gold nuggets and sparkling gems was very eye-catching.

Selina simply crouched down and picked up a stone with pink tourmaline running through it. She looked at it, and suddenly had a strange expression. “This… should be very valuable, right?”

Luke didn’t think too much of it. He replied casually, “If we purchase these things through proper channels, they would cost about 300,000 to 500,000 dollars in total.”

Selina chuckled and rubbed the dog’s head. “Gold Nugget, we did just this one job, and we earned more than what you collected this entire week. This is the real jungle treasure hunt!”

The happy dog froze for a moment, before it slowly turned to look at Luke for confirmation.

Pondering for a few seconds, Luke said consolingly, “It’s fine. You definitely earned more than if you were catching fish.”

The dog head: Not listening! I don’t want to hear that!
