Chapter 88

"Okay, I understand." Soon, remembering something, Zachary said, "Wait a second! I thought this
body, which my soul is currently in, cannot cultivate at all because of a major past injury. Then how
come, all of a sudden, it has the talent of double martial speed?" From the original soul's memory,
Zachary knew that he had been gravely injured. Therefore, in that state he could not reach the original
martial speed.

"It is true, the Zachary Zi of the Supernal Continent had lost his double martial speed because he had
got hurt owing to the torture he suffered, but that doesn't mean that he can't recover!" Mimi answered.

"Mimi, are you saying that there's a remedy?" Zachary raised his eyebrows, and wondered if the body's
owner would take it from him, if he got to know that he could recover his martial speed.

"You are going to get a Refreshing Pill, if you activate the second world. That will help you rebuild your
body," Mimi replied.

"Then why am I waiting? Help me activate it now!" Zachary was quick to answer.

"Loading... The second world is activating soon! Gentle reminder: You might feel unwell when you enter
the second world. Please don't worry about that. That happens..." Though Mimi sounded serious, there
was a playfulness in her tone, as if she was half-joking.

After his conversation with Mimi, suddenly, Zachary felt that his surroundings had changed rapidly, and
everything around him was blurred. Soon after that, he felt that a mystical force was lifting him, and he
was rising towards the sky. The next second, he felt that he was falling into an abyss. After that,
Zachary blacked out.

Near a pond of clear water, a man could be seen. His forehead was resting on the uneven rock's
surface, while his hips were raised high and not touching it at all. To passersby, who might stop to look
at it, or glance from a distance, he presented the sight of a lover in the act of love-making. Contrary to



what it seemed, after some time, his entire body started shaking, though it began with his hips moving
first.

Bang!

The body collapsed and lay prone on the ground.

"Ahem!" When Zachary regained consciousness, he realized his mouth was filled with mud. When he
opened his eyes, he found that he was no longer in the previous three-dimensional virtual space. On
looking around, he could see that he was under peach trees. Their fragrance permeated the air. Their
lush canopies covered the undergrowth, while birds of paradise chirped and darted from tree to tree,
leaving a blaze of color behind them. Zachary's first thought was, 'Am I in heaven?'

"This is..." Zachary was surprised at what he saw. Everything seemed so real, but he knew that he was
not in the real word.

Once again, he heard Mimi saying, "This is the second world that the Treasure-hunting System has
created to assist adventurers hunt for treasures. You are in the Peach Blossom Forest. This is where
beginners hunt for treasures. As your expertise increases and you gain experience as a warrior, other
scenes will reveal themselves. Remember that each scenario's map has its function, and it will aid you
to advance in your treasure-hunting quest. Listen carefully, for what I am going to tell you now is
crucial. The amount of time you spend in this world will translate to the real world on a one-to-one ratio.
That means, if you cultivate here for a day, one day will pass in the real world as well. And the effect
will be the same!

Plus, in the second world, the system is going to beset you with a wide range of treasure-hunting
quests. Once you finish them, you will be rewarded with treasures, and those will directly translate to
riches in the Supernal Continent. The rewards you receive will be in the forms of pills, cultivation
methods, armor, weapons, and other treasures. The tasks you complete and the riches you gain in the



second world will give you an edge in your treasure-hunting adventures. Moreover, the treasures you
get in the second world can be used in the real world. Similarly, you can also use those you gain in the
real world in the second world..." Mimi continued to explain.

While listening intently, Zachary thought to himself, 'If this Treasure-hunting System can create a
second world that is so similar to the real world, then it is indeed very powerful.'

"Moreover, this Treasure-hunting System also has the beauty collection mode through which you can
meet many beautiful women of all types. And it has been developed with the sole purpose of
preventing the treasure hunters from feeling lonely. As you complete your quests, you will meet women
of different kinds: innocent, aloof, domineering, etc. Even legendary and fictional female characters
from novels and fictions. Once you complete some specific quests, you will have the opportunity to
train them to become the types of people you want them to be. Moreover, you may even be able to
take them back to the real world!" Mimi exclaimed excitedly.

"Wow, this Treasure-hunting System is truly amazing. It even has the beauty collection mode!" Being a
man, Zachary could not help getting excited. 'If I can take home the beauties that only exist in books
and imagination, I will surely be the happiest man in the world!' he exclaimed inwardly.

"I'm going to be Casanova! I can't wait to have fun with the girls!" Zachary said.

"Here's a reminder for you. Since the second world is equivalent to the real world, your death in this
world, will also be translated to the real world," Mimi added.

Goose pimples instantly surfaced on Zachary's skin.

"Since you're not a warrior yet, only the newbie quests are available to you. For each newbie quest you
complete successfully, you will receive a treasure that is given to beginners. If you can complete all the
newbie quests and become a warrior at the first grade of Mortal Level, you will earn a special award!"



After a pause, Mimi continued, "Once you have completed your first quest, you will get a Refreshing
Pill, which will help you recover your double martial speed."

"Will the quests that are assigned to beginners be dangerous?" Zachary asked, cautiously.

"There is nothing to worry about. There is no danger associated with the newbie quests," Mimi
reassured Zachary, as she had understood his initial fear.

Since Mimi was so positive, Zachary thought that it should be okay to begin his treasure-hunting
adventure. Nodding his head, he said, "What's the delay? Let's begin!"

"Newbie quest mode on! The first quest..." As Mimi was announcing for the quest to begin, a huge ten-
foot high teak door suddenly appeared in front of Zachary.

Pushing it open, he walked into the hallway. Just as he had crossed the threshold, an intense white
light radiated from inside, and engulfed him completely.
