Mysterious Numbers

“Wow, Ben Shu’s grandpa left behind so many things?!”

Looking at the iron box that was twenty times bigger than himself, Ben Shu’s rat eyes darted around.

“Of course, wait a moment, I’ll find the key.”

The Dwarf Chieftain scratched his head, then went to a row of cabinets and rummaged through them.

After a few minutes, he came back with a bronze key.

Click!

The sound of the iron box being unlocked by the key rang out.

Ben Shu rushed over impatiently, and even Lin Feng walked forward curiously, wanting to take a look.

“Wow! Ben Shu’s favorite toys from childhood are all here! Nasty grandpa, he even lied to Ben Shu that all these toys were lost.”

Ben Shu kept making squeaking noises, rummaging through the iron box. The toys inside weren't anything precious; most were wooden carvings, like beetles and grasshoppers. The most amazing one was a wooden dragonfly that didn't need any power; it could fly just by flicking its wings a few times.

Ben Shu also liked this toy the most and couldn't put it down for a while.

“Alright, alright, quickly see what else your grandpa left you. I’m very curious too. Old Huang repeatedly told me not to open the box to look, and I never did. Now that you’re here, quickly satisfy my curiosity.”

The Dwarf Chieftain said with a chuckle.

Hearing this, Ben Shu didn't waste time and quickly looked through the other items.

Half an hour later, all the items were sorted.

Besides Ben Shu’s old toys, there were also over ten thousand gold coins, a blue pill, and a letter.

The letter explained the effect of the blue pill: after eating it, Ben Shu would be able to speak human language and wouldn't need to squeak anymore. Besides that, there were some words from his grandpa. However, what no one expected was that the end of this letter was related to Lin Feng.

“Squeak, Big Brother, my grandpa seems to know you. Look at the end of this letter.”

Ben Shu pushed the small letter paper forward, and Lin Feng had to use his Eagle Eye skill to clearly see the words inside.

Ignoring everything above, the last sentence at the end of this letter was precisely related to Lin Feng.

“Bean, do you know why grandpa’s treasure-hunting ability is so strong? Actually, grandpa’s treasure-hunting ability was very mediocre until that day I heard a mysterious voice. That voice told me the location of a mysterious treasure.

Grandpa successfully rose to power by relying on the pills in the treasure, and then that voice also told me that you would definitely meet a benefactor in the future, and asked me to hand over a string of numbers. If you can see this letter, remember to tell this string of numbers to your benefactor.

This string of numbers is: 158129.”

..........

“Big Brother, the benefactor my grandpa mentioned must be you, right? What do these numbers represent?”

Ben Shu asked with a face full of curiosity.

Damn, if you ask me, how would I know!

Lin Feng was just as bewildered as Ben Shu at this moment.

At this moment, he suddenly had an epiphany. Could it be that the mysterious voice Ben Shu’s grandpa encountered back then was the System?

“System, you told Ben Shu’s grandpa these numbers, right? What do they mean?”

Lin Feng silently called out to the System in his mind.

And the System quickly responded.

“Beep, Host, please pay attention to this string of numbers.”

“And then?”

Lin Feng looked bewildered. What was the difference between asking and not asking?

But the System no longer replied.

Sure enough, the voice Ben Shu’s grandpa encountered was the System’s voice.

And the Old Blind Man who helped Lin Feng find the feather on the Xuanhuan Floor earlier was probably also a path laid out by the System in advance.

Could it be that this string of numbers is related to the whereabouts of the last feather?

If that's the case, this string of numbers should be an identification number, right?

But the floors don't have identification numbers.....

Could it be..... this is a Seeker’s identification number?

The more Lin Feng thought about it, the more he felt it was highly possible.

Didn't that Cleaner on the previous floor say he was Seeker Number Ninety-Seven?

So, the number might represent a certain Seeker.

However, he had no clue now, so he could only write down this string of numbers.

“Big Brother? Have you figured it out?”

Seeing Lin Feng silent for a long time, Ben Shu couldn't help but ask.

“Hmm... no.”

“.......”

“But these numbers should be quite useful, so let’s write them down first.”

Lin Feng returned the envelope to Ben Shu and said, the rest of the items were also put into the System Space by him, as Ben Shu’s pocket couldn't hold them.

“Alright, wait, Big Brother, I’m going to eat this pill.”

Ben Shu said, while swallowing the blue pill.

After swallowing it, he didn't change much, but he could indeed speak human language, and not only that, he became proficient in all human languages directly.

It was as amazing as Lin Feng’s Human Language Translator.

It had to be said that this item his grandpa left him was indeed very good.

After a simple farewell to these dwarves, Lin Feng had no intention of staying on this floor for too long.

After leaving the dwarf gathering place, he flew into the sky.

“Big Brother, are we just going back like this?”

Ben Shu asked, lying on Lin Feng’s shoulder.

“Otherwise, what? Do you still have something to do?”

“No, not that. Big Brother, don’t you want to go see the elves? Hehe, elves are all super pretty.”

“Come on, do you think I’m that kind of lecher?”

Lin Feng rolled his eyes helplessly.

“Oh, that’s true.”

Ben Shu nodded, but Lin Feng’s next sentence directly silenced him.

“Where do the elves live?”

Ben Shu: ........

“I just need to buy some things.”

Lin Feng saw Ben Shu fall silent, so he explained.

“Understood, understood. Ben Shu is a Treasure-Seeking Rat who has watched three hundred romance films, so I understand everything.”

“You understand your grandpa! Quickly tell me where the elves live!”

Lin Feng flicked Ben Shu’s head.

“Squeak! Ouch, ouch, ouch! Ben Shu only knows one place, it’s quite far.”

“Then what are we waiting for? Let’s go directly.”

“Alright, Ben Shu will show you the way. Hehehe, Elf sisters, Ben Shu is coming~”

......

Actually, Lin Feng went to find the elves not to see beautiful women, but for the life fruit.

He had bought life fruit from the elves on the Trading Floor before, but he didn't know if those elves were from this world.

............

It had to be said that the distance was indeed a bit far. Lin Feng flew for over six hours at his flying speed before reaching the sky above the Elf Forest that Ben Shu had mentioned.
