Zongman: My days as a chaebol in Japan

Li Xuan nodded and agreed without hesitation, "No problem, let's put the matter of the giant race aside for now, the three of us will go exploring first."

After getting Li Xuan's response, Erza was even happier, and nodded at the corner of Li Xuan's mouth, "I knew that Lord Xuan would not refuse."

After finishing the work, Li Xuan hugged the girl and sat down on the sofa. He asked about the route of the treasure map. Finally, when Erza was asked about the approximate location, she closed her eyes and thought for a while before saying, "It seems to be a small town called Tønsberg."

Tønsberg? Sounds familiar.

Li Xuan thought about it and was not sure because he knew a lot of information about Tengsberg.

"Okay, then we'll head directly to Magro City tomorrow."

Chapter 215 Tree spirit?

At night, Li Xuan transformed into a hardworking little bee, collecting honey everywhere.

After working for several hours, Master Li finally completed the task. It now seems that it will take another half a year for the magic formation to completely collapse, and his premonition of breaking through to the Tianxiang realm has gradually become stronger.

Far water cannot quench a nearby fire. Coach Kato is a good man and he really teaches things.

Back in their room, Asuna and Erina came up to invite them to a basketball game.

But Li Xuan was well prepared.

In this match, Li Xuan started to exert his strength from the very beginning. His agile movements made Asuna and Erina completely unable to keep up with Li Xuan's rhythm, and their energy bars were quickly emptied.

Soon, the two exhausted men were killed by Li Xuan.

Li Xuan was very gentle and considerate to his girlfriend. After finishing the basketball game, the three of them washed off the sweat from the game in the bathroom and fell asleep in each other's arms.

..

Morning, Magro City.

This is West Africa's gateway to the outside world and a must-pass place for tourists coming to West Africa. The city of Magro connects the main sea routes of West Africa.

Li Xuan got off his super luxurious yacht, then reached out to help Irene and Erza behind him get off the yacht.

The combination of handsome men and beautiful women is not uncommon in Magro City, which is a city with developed tourism.

But sisters like Li Xuan and Irene, who are at the top of the pyramid among the combination of handsome men and beautiful women, are rare no matter where they are.

After the three of them came down, they quickly attracted a lot of attention.

Men envy Li Xuan, and women envy Irene and Erza.

Following the instructions on the map and after comparison, they arrived at the small town of Tønsberg. Erza brought Li Xuan and Irene to an orphanage.

However, the three did not go in directly, but instead strolled around the surrounding area. After years of development in Magro, traces and representative objects of most of the West African cultures can be found here.

However, the food is rather monotonous. West Africa doesn't seem to pay much attention to cuisine, but the spices are of a very high standard.

Li Xuan and Irene followed Erza arm in arm. Black pearls are produced in abundance in West Africa, but Li Xuan was not too impressed by this. This was a normal show, without any black-skinned elves or berserker leader, or any goddess with a hole in her brain who was given away for free.

In the evening, Maria Welfare Center.

Li Xuan and the other two walked into the welfare home openly. Now everyone in the welfare home had fallen into a deep sleep, and the reason for this was a small grass that Irene was holding in her hand.

There is nothing special about the grass, but it becomes different after being blessed by Irene's internal energy.

Irene's internal energy attribute is very rare, a fictional attribute. The internal energy is the same as having no attributes, but once it leaves the body, it will be given characteristics according to Irene's wishes.

Just like this commonly seen blue grass, which is usually used by dogs to aid digestion, after Irene used the property to attach it, it was given a sleeping fragrance. Just like this, under Li Xuan's spiritual scan, the people in the welfare home fell into a deep sleep one after another.

The three of them had a smooth journey and arrived at the backyard of the welfare home. There was only weeds except for an old pomegranate tree.

The pomegranate tree, which has been through so many years, can no longer bear fruit, but the children in the welfare home still pray near the tree from time to time. This is what Li Xuan heard during the day.

Erza checked the small yard carefully many times but found nothing. She took out the treasure map again. The first place on it was the mark of Maria Orphanage, and behind it were the marks of a tree and a fence.

"The location on the treasure map points to here, and the pattern of Maria Orphanage also matches, but what does the key refer to?" The map only had the word "key" in words, but did not say what the key was.

Exploration progress has temporarily stalled.

Erza was not discouraged and pulled her sister to search again. Li Xuan then walked to the side of the pomegranate tree, stretched out his palm and gently pressed on the tree that was full of traces of time.

"Time passes, the world changes, immortality is the exclusive property of the gods"

"You want to exchange? Interesting, Apollo's treasure? I hope your exchange is worth it."

Erza and Irene also heard Li Xuan's voice. They turned around in confusion and saw Li Xuan's hand on the pomegranate tree that they were hugging, and he was saying strange words.

"Xuan Jun, who are you talking to?" Erza walked over with a curious look on her face.

Li Xuan raised his head slightly and gestured towards the pomegranate tree, "Here."

"Huh? Pomegranate tree?" Erza was even more puzzled.

"The key will be out soon." The wood element in Li Xuan's hand condensed frantically. The pomegranate tree was just an ordinary plant that had gone through a long period of time. It still had a long way to go before it could transform into a monster, but its own consciousness had already been generated, but it was still very immature.

Li Xuan injected a huge amount of wood elements into the pomegranate tree. The originally cracked bark on the surface of the pomegranate tree began to make crackling sounds and then fell off, revealing tough new bark inside. The cracked soil on the tree trunk expanded in size by nearly one third. With the help of Li Xuan, the pomegranate tree quickly passed the most difficult moment and re-entered its vitality period.

"Thank you." This time, not only Li Xuan, but Erza and Irene also heard this childish voice in their minds.

"Tree, dryad!?" Erza was surprised, but was soon hit on the head by Irene.

Irene reacted quickly. There was also the third princess of the elves in the villa, Tokisaki Kurumi. She said that in their elf forest there were big trees that had become spirits, and the tree spirits were even a plant race.

After explaining the story of the dryads to her sister, Erza was no longer surprised. She was a relatively calm person and could accept many surprising things quickly.

After the pomegranate tree said thank you, more than ten seconds later, the soil shook, and not far from the pomegranate tree, a football-sized box was pushed out of the ground by the roots of the pomegranate tree and landed in front of Erza and the other two.

The newly born pomegranate tree is still trying to learn the language, so after saying some key news, it went back to dormancy. It is adapting to its new self. This process may take more than ten years, but there will be no shortage of pomegranates in the welfare home.

Erza and the other two compared the information given by the pomegranate tree with the information on the treasure map and roughly figured out the situation.

This box was left behind by an organization called the Botanical Garden more than two hundred years ago. This organization has never come back to take the box away, but their people were talking next to the pomegranate tree, so the pomegranate tree heard it clearly.

Treasures of Apollo.

Chapter 216 Pirates? Pirates?

After the three of them got the box, they also obtained the information they wanted. Li Xuan's internal energy shook, and he pressed the overturned soil back to the ground. Then he swept the wood element, and the yard became lush with vegetation again. It was no different from when they first came in, except that the pomegranate tree in the center had become much larger.

Because they got the key box, Erza couldn't wait to pull Li Xuan and Irene back to the yacht. On the deck of the yacht, Sakuya Izayoi and Argo were waiting.

"Good evening, Master, Miss Erza, and Miss Irene," Sakuya Izayoi and Argo bowed slightly and greeted Li Xuan and the other two when they saw them coming up.

Li Xuan nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Sakuya and Argo. Now just prepare dinner."

"Yes, Master x2"

Argo, with long golden hair and delicate features, is responsible for driving Li Xuan's yacht and serving Li Xuan's maid. Li Xuan asked his family to drive his yacht over, and Argo is the operator.

After entering the hall, Erza put the box in her hand up, fiddled with the lock for a while, and opened the lid.

Inside the box, a square silver Rubik's Cube lay quietly.

"Is this the key? But the key to open the door on the treasure map is triangular in shape," Erza reached out and picked up the Rubik's Cube with a curious look on her face.

After a careful inspection, she found that the surface of the Rubik's Cube was very smooth. The order of the Rubik's Cube had been disrupted at this time, but the brain development of the three people present was far beyond that of ordinary people. Erza looked at it for a while and then started to piece together all the sides of the Rubik's Cube.

After the pieces were put together, a clicking sound could be heard from inside the silver Rubik's Cube.

Then, the Rubik's Cube in Erza's hand automatically disintegrated, and a triangular key appeared inside.

"This is it, the triangular keyhole on the treasure map." Erza, who got the real key, raised her hands to celebrate.

Li Xuan and Irene leaned on the soft sofa and reminded Erza, "Now that we have found the key, let's see where the next place is. After confirming the place, we will set off early tomorrow morning. After dinner, we will go to see the night view of Maglo City."

After hearing what Li Xuan said, Erza took out the treasure map, checked it for a while, and said, "It's in a mountainous and steep area about tens of kilometers away from Magro City."

The main tasks were completed. Sakuya Izayoi and Argo were still preparing dinner. Li Xuan, Erza and Irene simply went to the swimming pool on the yacht to swim for a while. As the two young ladies of Ryuwei Transport, a giant in the Sakura shipping industry, Erza and Irene were very good at swimming, as could be seen from the previous swimming competition.

Speaking of this, it's a bit of a pity for Erza and Asuna, because their relationship with Li Xuan has been established, Asuna's family has begun to give them more power, so the monthly hobby challenge competition has to be temporarily cancelled.

Now with the blessing of internal energy, the three of them played in the swimming pool for nearly two hours before Sakuya Izayoi came to notify them that it was time for dinner. They floated up and hugged the soft bodies of Erza and Irene. The solar meridian in Li Xuan's body circulated, evaporating the water vapor from the three of them.

After helping the two blushing young ladies put on their casual clothes, the three of them returned to the hall.

Dinner was made of rare fish caught while sailing on the sea, and with the spices from Magro, it tasted unique.

After dinner, Li Xuan was led out of the yacht arm in arm by Erza and Irene, who were looking forward to the night view of Magro City, and walked again in the leading city of the West African continent, which was very different from the daytime.

During the day, the city of Magro is gentle and diverse.

At night, the city of Magro is violent and monotonous.

The economy of West Africa is not very developed, but the mineral resources in West Africa are the most on the planet. However, the people of West Africa do not seem to like converting minerals into wealth. So far, West Africa has only cooperated with two chaebols in joint mining, namely Daxia and the White Head United States.

The former was the result of the decision of the various national alliances on the West African continent to cooperate, while the latter was the result of the national alliances on the West African continent compromising after being beaten up by it.

The idea of ​​seeking cooperation with Daxia was also a solution after being beaten up. The whole world knows that Daxia will not take the initiative to beat others. The decision of West Africa is also to find a stabilizing force to suppress the White-headed United States.

However, all three parties are clear that once the benefits are distributed, the West African continent will be stabilized.

In addition to minerals, the West African continent is also rich in another profession: piracy.

That’s right, it’s literally pirate, but in West Africa and the neighboring North Africa, this profession is called a pirate.

Because of the involvement of many countries, the forces in West Africa were very chaotic, but under the suppression of Daxia and the White Head United States, they did not dare to be too presumptuous. Finally, they came up with a solution: pirates were not allowed to enter West Africa during the day and could only enter at night. If pirates entered West Africa and North Africa during the day, then all forces could jointly launch an attack to eliminate the pirates.

Erza and Irene are no strangers to pirates, their family's Dragon Tail Transport also cooperates with pirate forces to transport goods from the East to the northwest African continent. However, if they follow the fleet, they will rest on the ship at night and only go to land during the day.

So, although we were no strangers to pirates, it was our first time entering the land of the West African continent at night.

At night in the city of Magro, many taverns that were open for rest during the day have now opened their doors, the lights are on, and countless people dressed as pirates enter. The mixed smell of wheat wine and rum floats in the night city of Magro.

It was common for drunk pirates to get into conflicts. Not far from Li Xuan and his two companions, there were more than a dozen sailors fighting. From their drunken faces, it could be seen that they were all drunk.

Many windows of high-rise buildings nearby were open, and many people would regard the fights between these pirates as teaching materials and after-dinner conversation, and sometimes even throw a few coins down when they saw the exciting scenes.

These pirates will not plunder large cities such as Magro City, but smaller towns are often troubled by pirates.

Shops related to life at sea will also open at night. Although pirates are a representative profession of rudeness and cruelty in the northwest African continent, they basically abide by the principles of trading and are generous, so many shops are still willing to open at night.

If you go to a small town, forget it, as many people will close their doors at night.

Chapter 217 Izayoi Sakuya’s Time Stop

Li Xuan and his two companions walked along the way and saw many scenes of pirate culture.

It was a bit eye-opening, until the current scene happened, which made Li Xuan frown slightly.
