Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

Chapter 252 Treasure Hunting Expert
Duan Mingyuan still prefers dealing with straightforward people like Coyote Twelve who speak without holding back. Such sincerity is especially valuable in this era full of riddlers. Even if conflicts arise, they are usually resolved on the spot.

Coyote Twelve will shoot you in the head fairly in a duel, but won't stab you in the back when you're not paying attention.

"But then again, those petty thieves were really good at hiding. The Oasis dug up almost the entire desert but still couldn't find any trace of the great treasure."

As Coyote Twelve spoke, he tossed the empty wine bottle back and forth in his hands like an acrobat, with such skillful movements that Duan Mingyuan couldn't help but suspect that he had worked in a circus before.

"Tell me, what exactly is the great secret treasure?"

"do not know."

"Yeah, who knows? The Chamber of Commerce has been sending people to look for the whereabouts of the secret treasure, but they actually don't know what they are looking for."

When he thought about this, Coyote Twelve found it a little ironic.

Pirates invade other planets and turn the place upside down, just for an illusory secret treasure.

"Only the ruler and her confidants know what the stolen national treasure is. But after so many years, she has not revealed any information to the outside world. In addition, the surface environment of the entire planet has been destroyed. I am afraid that only the extremely lucky can find the whereabouts of the secret treasure... What's wrong with you?"

Coyote Twelve noticed Duan Mingyuan's unusual expression.

While the two were talking, Duan Mingyuan's cell phone rang coincidentally.

There is no extremely lucky person here, but there is an extremely lucky fox.

"Mr. Mingyuan, I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"

September on the other end seemed to have no time to type, she asked breathlessly.

"bad news."

A few seconds later, September sent another voice message. In addition to the sound of breathing, there were also sounds of drones and gunfire in the background.

The bad premonition finally came true.

——"My classmate Linglong and I are being chased by robots."

"What about the good news?"

"I found the great secret treasure, please come and help us, my tail is about to be set on fire!"

"I'm going, is it true?"

Coyote Twelve suddenly became alert, and the remaining drunkenness disappeared without a trace. "Did she really find the great secret treasure?"

Why is he so unconvinced?
The things that the nobles of the Mechanical Throne and the Oasis had been searching for for decades were found by a tourist who had just arrived on the Mechanical Star for less than a day?

How can there be such a lucky person in this world?
"Where are you?"

As soon as the message was sent, Jiu Yue sent an address which was outside the hotel. She and Linglong violated the rules of the Gear Hotel and went outside the hotel without permission.

So, that morning, there were two more people who violated the rules at the Gear Hotel, including the hotel's security chief.

Although they had prepared themselves mentally in advance, they were still stunned by the scene when they arrived at the location - drones patrolling the sky, combat robots armed to the teeth checking room by room, robots leading electronic dogs with missile launchers on their backs, and the fountain that was blown up in the city center seemed to be their doing.

The more than three-meter-tall tank robot entered a state of alert and the entire street was under martial law.

Jiuyue and Linglong have disturbed the robots' nest.

Duan Mingyuan and Coyote Twelve, who were not supposed to be here, immediately became targets of attack. All kinds of bullets and shells were fired at the two of them, proving with practical actions that this mechanized force was not the property of the Chamber of Commerce, but the private armed forces of the Mechanical Star nobles.

In the last great purge, it was not only civilians who were driven out of the city, but also the royal army and servants.

Today's Mechanical Star nobles only trust robots that faithfully execute preset programs.

But soon, Coyote Twelve responded with even more intense firepower. The bullets fired from his revolver were as powerful as cruise missiles, and he didn't care at all about affecting nearby houses and other public facilities.

The battle lasted less than 10 seconds, and Duan Mingyuan didn't even get a chance to attack before the entire team of mechanized troops was dealt with by Coyote Twelve. After the last shot blew away the upper body of the tank robot, Coyote Twelve even posed, turned the revolver in a circle with his index finger, and gently blew away the green smoke rising from the barrel.

After seeing that the mechanized troops were completely wiped out, September finally poked his head out from the green belt.

Its head was covered with leaves and its tail became fuzzy.

She had a cell phone in her hand - just now, she hid in the dark and filmed the entire process of the 12th Coyote Regiment annihilating the mechanized troops.

For her, it was not difficult to completely wipe out the pursuing mechanized troops, but from a standpoint, these robots were the city's patrol team. If they were placed on Blue Star, they would be no different from the police. Under Duan Mingyuan's influence, she became a good girl who abided by the law and did not dare to attack police officers.

Moreover, these drones and combat robots looked very valuable. If they were accidentally damaged, she would have no money to compensate.

Now, she has captured enough evidence.

——The robots were all destroyed by that Cowboy Bebop. If the nobles of the Arty Throne pursue the matter, it won’t be their turn to pay the compensation.

Anyway, the Flash Flag Chamber of Commerce has plenty of money, and a mechanized force should not be a problem for them.

She trotted to Duan Mingyuan and handed him the result of her and Linglong's treasure hunt - a small black cane, which was cold to the touch and seemed to have some unknown energy flowing through it.

"There's something strange about this cane. Not long after I picked it up, I was chased by a robot."

"I guess you guys activated the tracking device up there."

Coyote Twelve analyzed, "The next wave of combat robots is about to arrive, let's go back to the hotel first." The Gear Hotel is the property of the Chamber of Commerce, and according to the treaty between Mechanical Star and the Chamber of Commerce, combat robots are not allowed to enter the hotel without permission, which should buy them some time.

Before the next wave of pursuers arrived, the treasure hunting team returned to the safe area.

After taking their seats, Jiu Yue took the initiative to recount her and Linglong's not-so-eventful treasure-hunting experience - in fact, she just followed the location in the photo provided by Linglong, and then closed her eyes and made a hole in the wall by feeling, and then she found the cane hidden in it.

This is Ruihu's innate talent.

They don't need to work hard, struggle or fight, luck will directly help them achieve the results.

When Coyote Twelve asked about 4423's whereabouts, September talked about the Chamber of Commerce security guard's unlucky first day.

At first, he ate spoiled food and urgently changed his job to become a Splatoon.

When he took off his exoskeleton armor and rushed into the toilet with a grim face, he found that all the paper in the cubicle had been used up.

What’s worse is that some bad guys hung a sign on the bathroom door saying “Under cleaning, no entry”.

All in all, the last time they saw 4423 was nearly an hour ago.

"First of all, the food at the venue is specially provided by the Chamber of Commerce, so it is impossible for it to go bad."

Coyote Twelve points out the holes in this story.

Food safety is a top priority. If all the directors get sick from eating, it could easily turn into a serious diplomatic incident.

“I don’t think that’s the point.”

September said, "It has already happened. Even if we pursue the responsibility, it will not alleviate Mr. 4423's pain. I think we should first figure out what this great secret treasure is used for."

Before she figured out how to use the cane, a robot came to her door.

In the words of the Mechanical Star people, the stolen treasure hides a secret that can change the planet, but even Linglong, who has the blood of the Mechanical Star, doesn't know how to use it.

If this cane was not dug out of the wall but picked up from the roadside, September would not even carry this inconspicuous thing with her. She simply could not see how this mere cane could change the entire planet.

"How did you use it just now?"

Duan Mingyuan asked.

It was obvious that Jiu Yue triggered some mechanism in the cane and activated the tracking device inside, which led to the combat robot discovering her and Linglong.

"This thing looks a lot like a magical girl's transformation staff, so I tried it."

As he spoke, Jiu Yue picked up his cane and danced around his body, not forgetting to strike a cute pose, and said, "Transform——!"

Undoubtedly, the transformation failed again, and the cane did not give her any feedback.

"I asked Linglong to try it, but she also failed."

Hearing this, Linglong blushed and almost buried her face in her knees.

September is a big liar.

Lie to her and tell her that she has to strike a cute pose for it to work.

If the scene at that time was seen by others and spread to the class group, she would never have the face to return to school in her life.

"Is it a remote control for some device?"

Coyote Twelve took the cane and used it as a remote control, pointing it at Duan Mingyuan, Jiu Yue, Linglong and the bionic waiter behind the counter. When he pointed the cane at the entrance of the hotel, a group of uninvited guests appeared.

The fighting robots surrounded the outside of the hotel.

The young man who walked into the hotel held his head high and wore strange and fancy clothes.

He had a pair of iconic red eyes. He looked down at Duan Mingyuan and the others, and finally stopped at the cane held by Coyote Twelve. He said in an unquestionable tone, "You took something that belongs to this planet. Return it immediately, otherwise I will use force against you."

"You are threatening us!"

September was in uproar.

"I'm just stating the facts."

"Do you know who we are?"

Jiu Yue raised his tone and asked.

"Ok?"

"Although we are all unknown little-known people, this gentleman wearing a cowboy hat is Cowboy Bebop, former Nagaeda Konoe, the commander of the Hot Sand Star Rangers, and now the head of the security team of the Mechanical Star appointed by the Flash Flag Chamber of Commerce. Do you want to be an enemy of the famous Coyote Twelve?"

September came to the side of Coyote Twelve and introduced him solemnly.

"The King's Court of Jiqiao Star and the Chamber of Commerce have agreed that the Chamber of Commerce shall not interfere in the internal affairs of the King's Court."

The young man showed no intention of retreating. His right hand, wearing a white glove, grasped the hilt of the rapier at his waist. "In my opinion, you are now interfering in the internal affairs of the royal court."
