Road to becoming the wealthiest: Starting From Treasure Hunting in the Cabinets

Chapter 342: Chapter 266: No Treasure?_2

Once again, I want to emphasize that if you find something, you must have it confirmed by the staff, otherwise it will not be counted. Good luck to everyone!"

With no change in his expression facing the hissing, Eric spoke the rules with great demeanor before stepping off the high terrace.

The treasure hunters dispersed and eagerly went to their pre-selected locations.

A few treasure hunters even began arguing over their chosen domains.

Fortunately, there were plenty of staff members in T-shirts who were quick to step in and resolve the disputes. Not wanting to waste time, the treasure hunters scattered.

Sean Knight went to the castle entrance and saw that there were already more than a dozen people there, each discussing their ideas with the staff.

With three stories and over forty rooms, the castle was quite large.

At the entrance, the staff had a map that treasure hunters used to choose a room, which they would then be led to by the staff.

After choosing a room and failing to find anything, the treasure hunter would have to leave and pick another room.

The selected room would be temporarily covered until the person left, at which point the card covering it would be removed.

This ensured the fairest and most random treasure hunting experience.

Many people felt that after so many years, it was unlikely that there were any treasures left in the castle and ventured out to the surrounding terrain.

From time to time, metal detectors would beep, prompting people to scream and dig with shovels or call staff over to stake their claim.

It had to be said that the first time this ancient castle was open to treasure hunters, it brought many surprises.

Golden coins, silverware, copper horse gear, and so on.

After just one hour of work, more than twenty treasure hunters had made some kind of find.

Meanwhile, the staff began to get busier, with fewer of them stationed at the castle entrance and more assigned to the treasure excavation.

After scanning the rooms in the castle closely, Sean decided to walk around the surrounding walls.

With the Sky Eye in operation and his metal detector in hand, he began his search.

First, he dug up two gold coins weighing less than five grams each. After registering them with the staff, he put them in a plastic bag.

Within an hour, Sean had explored every inch of the castle.

But there were no major treasures.

Even the forlorn bastions at the castle’s corners did not contain any significant treasures.

One bastion had buried a chest of weapons deep underground, but the wooden chest wrapped in iron had rotted, and the weapons were rusty.

Sean didn’t plan on digging it up.

The workload would be too great.

Was the treasure hunt to end just like this?

Sean didn’t care much about the 100,000 euros, but could the legendary treasure that was said to be worth tens of millions of euros truly be just a myth?

Undeterred, Sean took another lap around the surrounding walls.

Another hour passed.

His prize? A battered two-handed greatsword and a broken shield with a family crest, which might be worth some money.

But still, no significant finds.

By this time, some of the people had started to take a rest, drinking water and eating the bread provided by the organizers.

Sean sat down on a stone at the edge of the castle’s gate, pretending to take out a box from his pocket, opened it, and happily ate a meat sandwich.

The advantage of his spatial realm was that hot things remained hot when taken out.

Many people watched Sean eating with such enjoyment and couldn’t help but feel their own dry bread was like a devastating blow!

After polishing off two authentic meat sandwiches, Sean contentedly rubbed his belly, went past the castle’s entrance, grabbed a bottle of water, chugged it down in one go, threw the bottle into a nearby trash bin, and strolled toward the gate.

He was no longer planning on wasting time here. Since there were no significant treasures, there was no point in staying.

As for the 100,000 euros, if Sean could make it to the locations mentioned in the book found in the abandoned mine pit in time, then what were a mere 100,000 euros to him?

Of the six locations recorded in the book, four had been discovered, and the treasures found there were each worth tens of millions of euros!

As Sean leisurely walked away, he had no idea that he had been watched by someone since he first entered the area.

"What about this person... How’s he doing?"

"It feels like he has a strong sense of purpose in looking for something. Unlike others who casually search with a metal detector."

"What did you find?"

"Look, at the beginning of the treasure hunt, he went straight to the castle entrance."

"But I didn’t see him go in."

"That’s what puzzles me, but I’m pretty sure that when he was walking around the entrance and its surroundings, he had already determined that there was no treasure inside the castle!"

"That’s impossible..."

"Do you remember his information? He knows the ancient Chinese secret technique ’FENGSHUI’! Maybe he figured it out from that."

"If that’s true, it’s really shocking!"

"Next, he quickly circled the entire surrounding wall - if you were to sketch his route on the castle map, you would see that it perfectly covers the whole castle area!"

"Is it that precise?"

"Plus, he worries that it’s not accurate enough and walked around the wall again, paying special attention to the four corner towers. Obviously, he took into account all the visible focal points but didn’t find anything."

"Of course, we searched for three days and didn’t find any large-scale metal reactions, it would be strange if he could find it."

"So I say, he’s a very formidable treasure hunter!"

"Well, let him be an alternative then! We should also observe the others more closely."

"Yeah, I have high expectations for him, especially his luck."

"I envy his luck... Huh? Did he leave?"

"Yes, is he going to give up?"

"It’s possible. I suspect that he thinks there’s nothing worth looking for inside, so there’s no need to waste time here, and he’s going back?"

"No, no, no! Look, he’s stopped!"

"Yes, he stopped! Is it... Could it be that he thinks the treasure is buried outside the castle?"

"He’s indeed using a metal detector to look for something..."

The two people talking were not at the treasure hunt site, but in a villa somewhere in Paris, sitting in front of numerous monitoring screens, watching Sean Knight through the front gate cameras.

Sean Knight stopped at a spot less than thirty meters from the front gate.

It wasn’t on the road but in a wild area about ten meters away from the main road.

Sean was planning to leave directly, but he found out that the car that had brought them there was nowhere to be seen after he left the gate.

Since he had come out, he didn’t plan to go back. He turned on the Sky Eye and began searching outside.

Inside, there were too many people, and even a little something would be snatched away by others.

How could a hundred metal detectors not find anything?

But outside, there was only him.

Then he saw a stone slab beneath a certain position in the wild area.

The stone slab was about half a meter deep from the ground, and underneath the slab were stairs going down.

It was a basement!

As for why it would be in the wild instead of inside the wall, Sean didn’t know either.

The problem was, there was something inside this basement!

At this moment, Sean was in a dilemma.

Should he pretend not to know, leave without a fuss, or go back to the castle and report to the staff?

According to Sean’s original idea, he would naturally wait for a later time to come alone and retrieve the stuff inside quietly.

But just as Sean was considering this, staff at the gate called out to him.

When he turned his head to look, he saw the camera at the gate!

The camera was flashing a red light, and fixed directly on Sean!

Sean immediately reacted at this moment - someone was watching him through that camera!

All his reactions just now had been seen by the other party!
