After Reborn, I Became the Bigshots' Beloved novel Chapter 443

Chapter 443: Chapter 443: There Is Simply No Treasure

According to the rules explained by Mr. S, the areas on this island can be divided into ten rings similar to a dartboard.

The outermost circle is the first ring, with the largest area. Moving inward, you have the second ring, the third ring, the fourth ring... until the tenth ring at the island’s smallest central area.

The complete treasure map is divided into ten pieces, with one map fragment in each ring area, but not just one copy.

This is why everyone can either act together or split into smaller teams to search for the map.

It’s said that the final map fragment and the treasure are hidden in the center of the island.

Lu Sheng and his group were originally planning to set out early today to find the first map fragment. Unexpectedly, a sudden appearance of a brown bear directly brought the fragment to them.

The outermost area is the largest and includes the coast and forest edges, so finding the first map fragment should have been troublesome.

But now, they obtained it without even searching, giving them a head start.

The Lu Family, Han Family, and Lan Family are not short of money. So Lu Sheng and his group are not after the treasure’s prize but eager to leave the deserted island.

With the fragment in hand, they entered the range of the second ring, and everyone was dumbfounded by the scene in the forest around them.

Though smaller than the outermost ring, the area is still vast, and the map fragment is so small.

Even if the fragment were at their feet, they might not see it.

How should they find it?

What is the pattern of the distribution of the map fragments?

But even if they want to find the distribution pattern, they have to at least find the second fragment first.

At this moment, Li Muchen, who has turned into a bear, can’t offer any more help to Lu Sheng’s group.

He got the first fragment by directly asking the show producers before coming to the island.

But when he asked for the second, the producers refused him, looking flustered and hesitant.

Li Muchen speculated that the producers were afraid he’d take all the fragments, and then Shengsheng and the others wouldn’t play the game; they could directly return to reality.

So the five split up to search for the fragment.

Han Jing said he would protect Lan Yu and go with her. With the brown bear following Lu Sheng, Lu Youming and Lu Youye felt reassured and went to different places.

Meaning they split into three paths, setting off simultaneously.

However, by evening, when everyone met again at the pre-appointed campsite, they looked at each other and shook their heads, saying they hadn’t found anything.

Lan Yu, somewhat dejected, said, "I really checked every place we passed very carefully. In the grass on the ground, even up in the trees—I had Han Jing climb up, but there wasn’t a single clue."

Lu Youming’s expression was also grave: "Same here, I couldn’t find anything unusual."

Lu Youye echoed: "The place I went to was the same. Han Jing climbed trees, I went into the creek, stripped down, and found nothing either."

Everyone saw that Lu Youye’s pant legs were indeed quite wet, as was his hair.

Lu Sheng immediately went to his bag, pulled out a dry towel, and wrapped it around Lu Youye’s head: "Dry your hair first, brother, don’t catch a cold."

Lan Yu asked with some expectation, "What about your side, Shengsheng, any clues? Did the handsome Mr. Bear find anything?"

Originally, Lu Sheng intended to cut down a small tree and slowly split it.

But the brown bear next to her swiped and broke the small tree, smashing the trunk into pieces with a few swipes, rendering her efforts unnecessary.

Eat, rest, dawn.

The next day, everyone exchanged their search areas from the previous day. By rotating like this, they could see if anyone had missed any clues.

However, by the evening of the second day, they still hadn’t found anything.

The third day, still no map fragment.

This marked the fourth day on the deserted island for everyone.

Aside from Lu Sheng and his group, others split into three factions. Some girls followed Xu Xinya, others followed Shi Yuwei, and the men followed Hu Yuxiang. These people also found the first map fragment the day before yesterday.

Yet, when starting to find the second fragment, even with larger numbers, they couldn’t find it at all.

At this point, not only were the people on the island anxious, but also the audience watching the live broadcast on the screen.

They flooded the Qingmang TV official Weibo with comments, asking what was happening and if there was a game bug.

So on the evening of the fourth day, Qingmang TV’s official Weibo posted a tweet— ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

[It’s normal not to find the second fragment; there is no second map fragment.]

[Because there isn’t any real treasure on the island. The key to ending the game isn’t finding the treasure.]
