Treasure Map

Browsing through the shelves, Devin ran his eyes over the titles, not needing to read each book in depth. He knew that the encyclopedia he possessed would automatically record the relevant information by scanning the books. His method caught the librarian's attention, and she frowned slightly at the unconventional approach. Nevertheless, she refrained from intervening, considering that Devin had indeed paid the fee.

Devin continued his quest for knowledge, meticulously scanning the shelves, hoping to uncover valuable information that would contribute to the growth and progress of his medical expertise. With every book he scanned, the encyclopedia within him grew richer and more comprehensive, capturing the essence of the knowledge contained within the pages.

As the hours slipped by, Devin delved deeper into the world of pharmaceutical literature, absorbed in the pursuit of valuable insights. The library became a sanctuary of intellect and discovery, and despite the limitations imposed by the visitor's permit, Devin refused to let that dampen his determination to expand his understanding of medicine within the game.

As Devin delved deeper into the contents of the weathered diary, his curiosity intensified. The faded yellowed pages held the untold stories of a pharmacist from a forgotten era, their personal experiences and tireless exploration chronicled within its precious confines.

Each entry painted a vivid picture of an adventurous life, filled with quests for rare herbs in ancient lands and encounters with fascinating legends. It was a captivating glimpse into a bygone era of master pharmacists seeking to unravel the secrets of the world.

However, it was a particular entry that truly captivated Devin's attention - a passage hinting at an extraordinary hidden treasure concealed within a mysterious and enigmatic location. The words on the page sparked his imagination and sent tingles of anticipation through his body.

The diary whispered of shifting sands, treacherous paths, and a series of remarkable fires, each holding a crucial piece of the long-lost legacy. Intriguingly, detailed drawings and descriptions accompanied the text, forming a cryptic map that only those with keen eyes and a discerning mind could decipher.

Devin's heart raced, fueled by the prospect of embarking on a treasure hunt that surpassed anything he had encountered thus far. The magnitude of the revelation struck him, realizing that this discovery could hold the key to extraordinary riches and profound knowledge.

Devin carefully closed the diary, his mind already racing with plans and ideas. The time for mere searching and gathering had transformed into a grand adventure, promising excitement, danger, and the potential to unlock an ancient legacy.

Devin's journey had just taken an exhilarating turn, steering them away from the conventional path and towards the uncharted realms of hidden treasures and enigmatic mysteries. As his eyes met the cryptic map in the diary, a sense of purpose and anticipation welled up within him, propelling him further into the depths of this remarkable virtual world.

[Congratulations player Devin, you have found the diary of senior pharmacist Moe detailing the treasure map of the long city. You have been awarded half of the treasure map of the lost city and 100 Exp. Players should have the courage to explore.] system prompt sounded.

With his heart pounding, he scanned the library cautiously if anyone was watching. Fortunately, no one seemed to be paying attention. Devin took notice of the disappearance of the treasure map on the diary. Carefully he returned the diary to its original place on the shelf, ensuring it appeared undisturbed. Maintaining an air of nonchalance, he continued to browse through the books, pretending as if nothing unusual had occurred.

Devin's mind raced with a mix of excitement and anticipation. The system prompt confirmed the significance of his find - senior pharmacist Moe's diary and a treasure map of the lost city, along with 100 experience points as a reward. He only needs to look for the second part of the map to make it complete.

Concealing his increased heartbeat, Devin moved among the library's shelves, blending in with the other patrons.

If Alex were here, he wouldn't be fooled by Devin's poker face, with his hands trembling from the surge of adrenaline. His excitement stemmed from the knowledge that anything associated with the ancient city held immense value in the virtual world of Oasis.

Devin was well aware of the history surrounding the treasures of the ancient cities. Countless lives had been lost in the pursuit of these coveted items, and powerful entities from the players and natives had clashed, leading to the destruction of kingdoms. The treasures held within the ancient city were not merely material wealth; they held the keys to legacies, resources, and true power.

Indeed, the treasures and artifacts associated with the ancient city are highly sought after in the virtual world of Oasis. Their value is widely recognized, and their acquisition can lead to immense wealth, resources, and legacies. However, the path to these treasures is fraught with danger and has proven to be deadly for many who have ventured into the ancient city.

The struggles for control over these treasures have sparked conflicts that have reverberated throughout the virtual world, leaving a trail of devastation in their wake.

The diary that Devin discovered provides a glimpse into the chaos that these treasures hold. The mention of various fires implies that the potential for mayhem and disorder is significant. Even the mere existence of these fires can ignite a chain of events that disrupt the delicate balance of Oasis.

Even though skills had to be learned to obtain them in Oasis one had to know this doesn't include legacies.

The allure of these legacies is such that individuals within Oasis are willing to compete and scramble for the opportunity to inherit them. Despite the challenges and potential risks involved, the promise of gaining the wealth, knowledge, and power associated with these legacies is too enticing to resist.

The concept of inheriting legacies goes beyond the acquisition of regular skills and treasures in Oasis. It involves stepping into the footsteps of these ancient beings, becoming the rightful successors of their bloodline and all that they possess.

By inheriting legacies, players not only gain access to the accumulated wealth and knowledge of these powerful ancestors but they may also find themselves inheriting their enemies. This adds an additional layer of complexity and danger to the pursuit of legacies, as players must navigate the conflicts and challenges that their newfound inheritance brings.

The scramble for legacies, despite the risks involved, showcases the intense desire for power, wealth, and prestige within Oasis. The potential rewards far outweigh the potential dangers, as players are willing to go to great lengths to secure their place as the inheritors of these ancient beings' legacies.

Devin wanted to laugh out loud and thank the pharmacist guild for their generosity. He takes back his word 1 gold is not a rip-off it's a good trade off.

As Devin made his way outside he saw two men arguing, their argument caught his attention.

Devin observed the heated argument between Ethan, the apprentice pharmacist, and Mr. Harrington, a wealthy and influential individual. The concern and determination on Ethan's face caught Devin's attention, indicating that he was standing his ground despite the influential presence before him.

Curiosity piqued, Devin approached the scene discreetly, trying to gather more information about the nature of the dispute. He couldn't help but wonder what could cause such a clash between an aspiring specialist and a man of considerable wealth and influence.

As he got closer, Devin overheard fragments of the conversation.

Ethan's concerned expression mixed with bewilderment as he listened to Mr. Harrington's accusations. His brow furrowed, and he defended himself, saying, "Sir, I can assure you with full confidence that I would never intentionally sell a poisonous herb. The one I sold you today is a purple daffodil."

Mr. Harrington's face flushed with anger as he angrily pointed toward a small bunch of purple daffodils clutched in his hand. His voice trembled with anger and betrayal as he retorted, "Mistake or not, the herbs you sold to my servant nearly cost me my life! I trusted your expertise, and now I question everything."

Ethan's voice remained composed, his dedication to his craft evident in his words. "Sir, I can assure you that I did not sell a poisonous herb to anyone."

Devin noticed that Ethan's defense was falling on deaf ears, so he decided to intervene. This was his opportunity to unlock the secrets of the art of medicine. Pharmacists were known to be secretive and hesitant to share their knowledge.

"Sir, I couldn't help but overhear your argument," Devin said, "This pharmacist is claiming innocence, and it would be unfair to dismiss his claims without seeking the truth. If you allow me to examine the herb, I can help uncover the truth of the matter. This way, no one can accuse you of unjustly targeting a pharmacist." Devin's confidence stemmed from the fact that even though the man held considerable influence, he couldn't do much beyond tarnishing the pharmacist's image and reputation.

"Who are you? Why don't you mind your own business?" one of the people accompanying the man chastised Devin.

"Sir, I am here to assist you in finding the truth and ensuring that you maintain a moral high ground," Devin replied calmly. The man, observing Devin's regal appearance, decided to give him a chance to help. Moreover, he understood the limitations of how far he could go, knowing that pharmacists often supported one another. After all, who could claim they would never fall ill or need the assistance of a pharmacist?

"Show the herb to this gentleman," the man commanded his associate.
