Chapter: The Divine Artifact
A large area of tents stood outside the God of Order Labyrinth.
In recent days, more and more adventurers had come to explore the God of Order Labyrinth.
Because this was a newly appeared labyrinth and hadn't been fully explored, there were more treasures in it than labyrinths that had appeared long ago.
However, most of these adventurers were first-tier or second-tier—mainly exploring the first and second floors of the labyrinth.
Very few could explore below the third floor.
The reason the Order God Cult could explore the fifth floor was thanks to the scripture fragments that recorded labyrinth information—equivalent to a built-in strategy guide.
Mina and Ivennie waited for Cheng Yu to come out outside the labyrinth, feeling very depressed.
At the same time, on the ninth floor of the labyrinth, Cheng Yu sat cross-legged on the wooden bridge and guessed what the artifact in the wooden house was.
The believers of the Order God Cult all have obsessive-compulsive disorder and like to arrange chaotic things in order.
Cheng Yu remembered the last time Valk bought barbecue at the barbecue stall—he'd placed the seasoning bottles in a row, then used a ruler to measure the distance between each bottle to ensure equal spacing.
A light flashed in his mind. "I know! There's a ruler in the wooden house!"
"No."
"Not a ruler? Is it a tape measure?"
"No."
"Infrared rangefinder?"
"No."
"Vernier caliper?"
"No."
"A basketball?"
"No."
"A pair of overalls?"
"No."
Cheng Yu held his head with both hands and went crazy. He'd been guessing on the ninth floor of the labyrinth for almost two days. He'd guessed everything he could think of but couldn't figure out what was in the wooden house.
This human figure was just a breath left by the God of Order. Its facial features were blurred—didn't even have a mouth. He couldn't bribe it with barbecue.
Cheng Yu looked embarrassed. "Brother, can you give me some clues? I really can't guess it."
The human-shaped silhouette said nothing and didn't give Cheng Yu any clues.
Sigh~
Cheng Yu shook his head in disappointment. "Can I walk around this small lake?"
"Sure," the human-shaped silhouette replied.
Cheng Yu went around to see if there were any clues.
Walking along the lakeside—lush with water plants—the environment was very good.
At that moment, Cheng Yu suddenly had an idea.
When a person comes to a small lake and sees a small island in the middle, a wooden bridge leads to it. People's inertial thinking is to go to the island via the bridge.
Must I go over the wooden bridge? Can't I swim over?
Thinking of this, Cheng Yu was happy.
Splash!
Cheng Yu was too lazy to take off his clothes and pants. He jumped into the small lake and swam toward the island.
Turning his head to the right, the human figure stood motionless on the wooden bridge—didn't come to stop him.
Swimming forward with all his strength, Cheng Yu's heart beat wildly as he looked at the island getting closer and closer.
The artifact of the God of Order is about to be obtained!
That's an artifact! In this godless age, the power of an artifact is comparable to a quasi-god!
With a burning, crazy look in his eyes, Cheng Yu swung his arms and swam forward at full speed.
However, after swimming for a while, Cheng Yu found something wrong.
From the lakeshore, the straight-line distance between the shore and the island was only one or two hundred meters. He should be able to swim over in a few minutes.
However, he'd swum for over ten minutes. The island kept getting closer but he couldn't reach it.
After swimming a while longer, the island looked close at hand but he couldn't reach it.
"Damn it!"
Knowing he couldn't swim over, Cheng Yu cursed and swam to the lakeshore.
After swimming for only one or two seconds, he reached the shore.
Back on shore, Cheng Yu built a fire to dry his wet clothes and pants, then came to the wooden bridge again—confronting the human figure.
"That artifact is a pile of shit from the God of Order."
Cheng Yu couldn't guess what it was, so he just made random guesses.
"No."
"That artifact is the underwear of the God of Order?"
"No."
"The socks of the God of Order?"
"No."
Cheng Yu was numb. Thinking of the two code phrases before—"I think the Goddess of Light is still charming," "Goddess of Light, don't kill me"—
"That artifact is the underwear of the Goddess of Light?"
"No."
"The bra of the Goddess of Light?"
"No."
"The socks of the Goddess of Light?"
"No."
"The panties of the Goddess of Light?"
"Correct."
Cheng Yu stood there motionless. His expression became confused.
(-᷅_-᷄)
This is too absurd. The artifact treasured by the God of Order is actually the panties of the Goddess of Light.
The God of Order must have some special fetishes.
Just when Cheng Yu was confused, the human figure raised an index finger and pointed it at Cheng Yu's forehead. A black light entered Cheng Yu's body.
Cheng Yu looked at his body, then at the human-shaped silhouette before him. "What did you do to me?"
"I planted a curse in your body."
"What the hell! What curse?"
Cheng Yu was cursed for no reason. He was a bit panicked.
"This curse is: if you tell others that the God of Order stole the underwear of the Goddess of Light, you will die immediately."
The main point is to keep a clean reputation in the world.
So it's this curse. Cheng Yu breathed a sigh of relief. "What if I write it out?"
"You'll still die suddenly," the human-shaped silhouette replied.
Cheng Yu sat cross-legged on the wooden bridge and thought for a while. "What if I write it out in encrypted text? For example, tell others the page, line, and word of a book, then spell it into a sentence?"
"..."
The human-shaped silhouette cursed internally. You kid must want to tell this matter, right?
Seeing the other party didn't speak, Cheng Yu smiled. "I'm joking. I promise not to tell anyone."
After getting Cheng Yu's assurance, the human figure disappeared.
Cheng Yu crossed the wooden bridge and walked to the wooden house on the island. The door of the wooden house wasn't locked.
Walking inside, there was a golden treasure chest in the middle of the living room.
Opening the treasure chest, inside was exquisite white silk women's underwear—similar to a suspender tube top, thin and soft, exuding a holy, soft glow and a faint floral scent.
Cheng Yu lifted the two suspenders of the underwear with both hands. "This... This is the underwear of the Goddess of Light. It smells so good."
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Underwear of the Goddess of Light. Wearing this underwear will make the host lose face, and at the same time gain a small amount of light power. The sacred attribute is maxed out, restraining all evil forces, and magic resistance is maxed out]
Cheng Yu covered his face and smiled bitterly. A man wearing women's underwear would definitely be considered a pervert.
Try not to wear it unless absolutely necessary.
Though the Holy See of the Black Sun Empire believed in the Goddess of Light, the foundation of the Holy See was only a small amount of light magic left by the Goddess of Light.
No one had ever seen the Goddess of Light. No one knew whether she was dead or alive.
Cheng Yu didn't dare think about how the people of the Holy See of Light would react when they saw a man emitting the holy light of the Goddess of Light.
"Forget it. Let's talk about it later."
Cheng Yu put the underwear into the golden treasure chest, then put the golden treasure chest into the system warehouse.
Then he looked for a way to leave the labyrinth in the room.
