The system forced me to show off my wealth

Although I got Archibald's diary.

But Qiu Shui simply turned it over twice and threw it into the box.

Now I heard that those things of Archibald are related to the treasures left by him.

Then Qiushui became interested.

Qiu Shui found those things of Archibald.

Picked up the diary with a sense of history.

Suddenly, Qiu Shui remembered that when he got the diary, the system specially marked the word "true".

Qiu Shui was still wondering at the time, why did he still mark this, could it be fake.

Just now Aqina said that she also has the diary of her ancestors in her hand.

If the book in his hand is real, then it means that the book in Aqina's hand is fake.

Qiu Shui touched his chin.

Immediately afterwards, he asked the system: "System father, the diary in my hand is indeed real. It was written by Archibald himself, right?"

The system said: "Of course. Produced by this system, it is absolutely genuine. Any resemblance is purely fictional."

Come on.

It seemed like he really wanted it.

Now that it is confirmed that this diary is true.

Qiu Shui hurriedly took advantage of the time to read Archibald's diary carefully.

Get ready to find this treasure.

What a third.

Qiu Shui is very greedy.

He wants it all.

It's just that Archibald's diary is written in English.

Qiu Shui looked a little strenuous.

If you don't know some words, you have to look them up.

As for the system.

It's really just to accompany Qiushui to have a look.

In fact, the content of this diary is really not much.

It's just that Archibald's nonsense is too much.

Qiushui spent more than two hours.

With great difficulty, a large part of the useless content was removed.Find out what's useful in it.

Qiu Shui was wondering before, how could Aqina know that Archibald's relic would be in his hands.

After reading the diary, Qiu Shui understood why.

It turned out that Archibald had been to China hundreds of years ago.

At that time, Huaguo was still in the age of emperors, and the dynasty was still very prosperous.

Archibald came to China by boat with a team of merchants.

The place where Ebo was located at that time was very backward.

However, his country is rich in gold.

Therefore, after he traveled across the ocean and brought a pile of gold to Huaguo, he immediately became a rich man.

He used the gold to become a foreign merchant in China.

He built his own sea caravan, constantly going back and forth between his own country and the dynasty of Huaguo.

As a result, he has earned unimaginable wealth in just a dozen years.

Became the richest businessman in his country.

At that time, even the royal family might not be as rich as him.

However, it didn't take long for his country to be in turmoil.

Unexpectedly, it affected him.

Because the royal family of the country was at war with the upper-class nobles, the king needed his wealth to support, so he captured his family and threatened him.

Archibald had no choice but to give half of his wealth.

The remaining half of the wealth was secretly hidden by him.

That turmoil ended with the victory of the king.

Although he was coerced by the king to support him.

But precisely because of the wealth he contributed.

Therefore, the king was able to win.

Therefore, the king made him a count.

He became a nobleman.

It's just that he didn't expect that he hadn't had time to enjoy the title of this nobleman.

It didn't take long for his country to be targeted by another powerful country.

Two countries are at war.

He took everyone in the family and a part of the wealth hidden at that time, and fled to another place.

Since then, they have taken root and developed in that place.

Wait until everything is dealt with.

Archibald set off to China again with the sea caravan.

That was the last time he arrived in Huaguo.

And he traveled thousands of miles to Huaguo, in addition to wanting to accumulate wealth again, he also went to meet an old friend.

A friend who saved his life and had a lifelong friendship with him.

At the same time, it is also his umbrella in Huaguo.

That was the owner of King Ren's Mansion at that time.

Archibald personally handed over his portrait and keys to the heirs of the Renwang Mansion for safekeeping.

He also said that he would come back to pick it up next time.

If he can no longer come back, then let that old friend pass these two things on to his successors.

Archibald will also ask his heirs to retrieve those things.

The proof of taking things is his diary.

Archibald wanted to prevent others from getting his diary.

Therefore, a fake diary was deliberately made.

The contents of the two diaries are similar.It also records the key and portrait.

However, the recorded content about the hidden treasure is completely different.

What Archibald didn't expect was that a traitor appeared in his family.

The traitor poisoned him.

As a result, he was deeply poisoned and died soon.

Because I don't know who the traitor is.

So, for his safety.

Did not tell others about the treasure.

He put the two diaries in different places.

I hope that some lucky descendant will find the real diary.

Qiu Shui closed the diary, and couldn't help sighing: "This Archibald is really powerful. At that time, the country he was in was so far away from our country of China. It would take more than a year to go back and forth. But I really didn't expect that Archibald would have such courage."

At that time, Archibald said that the country he was in was rich in gold.

But, in fact, that was only because they were near a gold mine.

Later, Archibald sent people to basically empty out the gold mine.

Then the gold, and some of the remaining wealth at that time, were hidden.

As for what those wealth were, it was not mentioned in the diary.

However, Qiu Shui guessed, could it be an antique or something.

Antique or not.

Just the gold that Archibald left behind.

It's also exciting enough.

The more he thought about it, the more excited Qiushui became.

Unexpectedly, this relic of Archibald would have such an effect.

Qiu Shui couldn't wait to follow the method recorded in the diary.

Using scissors, carefully cut out some strange patterns drawn in the diary.

Then, start piece by piece.

After all the fragments are assembled.

Immediately a paragraph of Chinese appeared.

Qiu Shui didn't expect this at all.

However, Archibald often came to China at that time, so it is not surprising that he can speak Chinese.

"Please look at my clothes".

Six large Chinese characters.

Looking at clothes?

Qiu Shui spread out the self-portrait of Archibald.

I didn't feel anything before.

But now take a look as directed.

He found that there seemed to be some pictures on Archibald's clothes in the portrait.

The picture looked like a tree and a mountain.

Qiu Shui watched it carefully for a while.

It was found that it was really a tree and a mountain, and there seemed to be a heart-shaped figure in the back.

That's right, it's a heart shape.

Is this Archibald so girlish?

wrong.

Qiu Shui sensed the problem.

There's no way Archibald could have drawn something inconsequential.

Big tree, mountain, heart shape?

Suddenly, a light flashed in Qiu Shui's mind.

Could that be where the treasure is hidden?

At the place where the treasure is hidden, there is a big tree on the left and a mountain on the right.

In the middle is something in the shape of a heart.

It's just that the heart shape is a bit abstract.

If not some time ago, when I was taking a western painting appreciation class, I just learned how to appreciate abstract paintings.

Qiu Shui still couldn't see that it was a heart shape.

That tree, and a mountain, there are too many places with this feature.Countless.

But where there is a heart shape, that is rare.

This is an easily recognizable feature.

Archibald's diary records.

He hid half of his wealth because of the threat of the king of the country at that time.

So many things, when he was stared at by the king.

Impossible to ship elsewhere.

Therefore, the hidden treasure can only be in the country where Archibald was before.

And that place is likely to be where Archibald was before.

In this way, the scope can be narrowed down.

The country that Archibald was in before was the United States.

However, Qiu Shui didn't know where Archibald lived before.

It has been hundreds of years, and the surrounding environment will definitely change.

Therefore, he needs to check some previous information.

Suddenly, Qiu Shui remembered the system.

Qiu Shui tentatively asked, "Dad System, do you know where this painting is?"

"know."

The system readily admitted it.

"Great." Qiu Shui didn't expect the system to answer him, he thought the system would ignore him.

He asked excitedly, "What is this place?"

"This system can't tell you. Because the main system doesn't allow it."

The system blinked its round soybean eyes and spread its hands.

Qiu Shui was speechless, so it was better not to ask.

It was a waste of his saliva.

Qiu Shui looked at the time and found that it was time for lunch before he knew it.

I don't know if Lou Yuchen and Liang Zitao will come back at noon.

After all, after several games, those who can stay are getting stronger and stronger.

But as long as Lou Yuchen didn't meet those top chess players, everyone else should be able to win in the middle game.

Moreover, Lou Yuchen's chess is very steady.

He never liked to play fast chess.

Therefore, if the gap between the two sides is not too large, it is impossible to end the chess game at noon.

Unexpectedly, after Qiu Shui waited for an hour, neither Lou Yuchen nor Liang Zitao came back.

Thinking about it, the opponent they met today must be very strong.

After Qiu Shui had lunch, he continued to study the pattern of the portrait clothes.

After so many years, the tree may be cut down, or withered.

Mountains may also be leveled or dug away.

Qiu Shui felt that for someone as smart as Archibald, it was impossible for him to use something that could be changed as a sign of finding treasure.

So, could the heart shape in the middle be something that cannot be changed?

Or, is it something that cannot be changed?

For example, what kind of super god pit, or a big river or something like that.

Suddenly, Qiu Shui had a flash of inspiration.

He remembered seeing a photo taken by a travel blogger before.

That photo was taken in a forest in the United States.

In the photo, there seems to be a big, heart-shaped lake.

The water of that lake is blue.

At that time, Qiu Shui was still amazed.

So, could this heart-shaped place be the heart-shaped lake?

Qiu Shui acted immediately.He picked up his phone and started searching for the blogger's account.

However, it was discovered that the blogger had actually canceled his account.

However, Qiu Shui remembered that the blogger's photo seemed to have been published in a geographic magazine.

Qiu Shui immediately switched to the official website of the geographic magazine.

After searching for a while, Qiu Shui finally found the photo of the heart-shaped lake.

Qiu Shui held the phone, looked at the photo, and compared the abstract heart-shaped pattern on the painting.

It turns out that it doesn't seem to be the same.

Qiu Shui couldn't help frowning.

Did he guess wrong?

The heart shape on this painting, not this lake?

But, besides this place, where else in the United States is heart-shaped?

Qiu Shui couldn't help feeling a little impatient.

It's too hard to find.

Unless he finds someone who is very familiar with the geographical location and environment of the United States.

Otherwise, who knows where the heart shape is pointing to.

After all, the United States is not small.

After the game in the afternoon, Lou Yuchen and Liang Zitao came back.

As Qiu Shui guessed, both of them met very strong chess players today.

"Qiu Shui, guess who Ah Chen met today."

Liang Zitao said with a mysterious face.

In fact, Qiu Shui was not very curious, after all, there were only a few chess players who could fight Lou Yuchen.

No matter who Lou Yuchen met, it was not surprising.

However, Qiu Shui also gave Liang Zitao some face and said with a smile, "Who?"

"Guo Gong is Guo Ruoxi's father. Our chess master."

"Guo Gong?"

Qiu Shui remembered that Guo Ruoxi came to their chess club because of a quarrel with her father.

At the same time, it was also for Meng Qi's affairs.

"Yes, it's Mr. Guo."

Liang Zitao complained: "You don't even know that Guo Gong is only 45 years old. His temper is very similar to those of those 80-[-]-year-old old men. He is very rigid and will not be flexible at all. He still wants to save face."

After all, Guo Ruoxi is also his biological daughter.

In the end, he belittled his daughter in front of Lou Yuchen.

Flatten Guo Ruoxi to nothing.

As a result, Lou Yuchen was annoyed.

Qiu Shui looked at Lou Yuchen, "Really? Does Guo Ruoxi know?"

"She knows. A Tao told her."

Lou Yuchen was indeed very angry.

Although Guo Ruoxi lost shortly after the start of the match.

But after all, he was also a chess player who was only determined last year.

It is not bad to have this result.

But Guo Gong felt that she was embarrassing him by coming to the competition.

He even belittled Guo Ruoxi in various ways, saying that Lou Yuchen's vision was not good enough.

He actually poached Guo Ruoxi away with a high salary.

Of course, Guo Gong also had resentment towards Lou Yuchen in his words.

He felt that Lou Yuchen shouldn't have recruited Guo Ruoxi into the Shengqi Club.

After all, he just wanted Guo Ruoxi to suffer outside.

Now Guo Ruoxi went to the Shengqi Club to enjoy the blessings.The kind that is led to lie down and win.

"unacceptable."

Although Qiushui had heard Guo Ruoxi talk about her father before, she had a problem with her.

But unexpectedly, her father would belittle her so much in front of outsiders.

And even pissed them off?

Think they're meddling?

"No. That's why Ah Chen ruthlessly pressed him against the chessboard and rubbed him. You didn't see Guo Gong's face at that time, it was as black as the bottom of a pot."

Liang Zitao gloated.

"Yes, boyfriend." Qiu Shui gave Lou Yuchen an appreciative look.

Now Guo Ruoxi is a member of their club, even if Guo Gong is her father.

That can't belittle the chess players of their club at will.

That's how Qiu Shui protects his weaknesses.

"Learned from you." Lou Yuchen was annoyed after Guo Gong said those words.

In the middle game, he directly used Qiushui's moves against him.

Qiu Shui's chess has always been sharp.

In addition, Lou Yuchen did it on purpose.

Therefore, in the end Guo Gong lost a lot of chess.

At that time, Guo Gong waved his sleeves and left.

"Yeah." Qiu Shui stroked the non-existent beard on his chin, and said to Lou Yuchen, "You can teach a child."

Lou Yuchen couldn't help but reach out and rub Qiushui's head in a funny way.

Qiu Shui quickly patted the back of his hand.

"Don't touch me, I still want to grow a few centimeters taller. It's because you often touch my head, so I don't grow taller."

"Come on." Liang Zitao rolled his eyes, "How old are you, and you still want to grow taller."

Suddenly, Liang Zitao remembered something.

He said to Qiushui: "By the way, Qiushui, I have something to tell you. It will be the offseason in two days. There are two days. How about we go out for a walk? I know there is a lake in a place where everything is It won’t freeze. And the lake is still warm in winter.”

"Anyway, the snow has stopped for the past two days. If you don't go out for a walk, it's okay to stay bored in the hotel all the time."

Qiu Shui thought about it and thought it would work.

"Sure, but what you're talking about isn't a lake, it's a hot spring, right? I haven't heard of it. There are lakes that are still warm in winter."

"It's the lake water. That lake is very magical. It was discovered by a friend of mine. The lake is in a small forest next to his farm. Not only is the lake water warm, but the lake is also heart-shaped."

Liang Zitao took out his mobile phone and said to Qiu Shui, "I still have the photos he sent here. Let me show you."

Heart shaped lake?

Qiu Shui's heart beat faster.

Could it be such a coincidence?

"I found it, take a look."

Liang Zitao handed the phone to Qiushui.

Qiu Shui took the phone calmly and looked at it.

The pupils suddenly widened.

In the photo, amidst the lush greenery, a lake in the shape of a love heart lay quietly in front of it.

The water of the lake is blue, and each end of the lake is connected with a water flow channel.

The whole looks like an arrow piercing through that heart.

Isn't this lake the same lake that the blogger he saw just now photographed?

It's just that the angle of Liang Zitao's photo is different from that of the blogger.

From this angle in Liang Zitao's photo, Qiu Shui clearly saw a very huge towering tree on the left.

On the right is a mountain.

The heart-shaped lake is right in the middle.

This composition is exactly the same as the oil painting.

It's like stepping on the iron shoes and finding nowhere to find it, and it doesn't take much effort to get it.

This is really thanks to Liang Zitao, if he didn't suddenly propose to go out for a walk.

He might have missed the real answer.

"Go, you have to go. I will reimburse you for the entire cost this time."

Qiu Shui returned the phone to Liang Zitao, and said excitedly, "Liang Zitao, please send me this photo."

Qiu Shui didn't expect to find the place so quickly.

He can't wait to go treasure hunting.

"You like that place?"

It was the first time that Lou Yuchen saw Qiu Shui so excited.

From the way he looked, he seemed to like that place very much.

Lou Yuchen glanced at it just now.

The lake in the photo is indeed beautiful though.

But Qiu Shui shouldn't be so excited.

"Of course I like it. It may be a good place to get rich."

Qiu Shui blinked at Lou Yuchen.

A feng shui treasure land for getting rich?

Lou Yuchen was puzzled, when did Qiu Shui study Feng Shui again.

However, when Liang Zitao called his friend, he got some bad news.

"Okay, I see, it's okay. No rush."

Liang Zitao hung up the phone, and said apologetically to Qiu Shui: "He said that his grandma in Huaguo was sick, so he flew back to China yesterday. He probably won't be back until after the Spring Festival."

I originally wanted to play, but I didn't expect such a disappointment.

Liang Zitao was also helpless.

Qiu Shui raised his eyebrows and said, "Can't we go by ourselves?"

Liang Zitao said: "No, as he said before, that place is very hidden, if there is no one to guide the way, it will be impossible to find it."

Qiu Shui also remembered that the blogger also said that the place was hard to find.

He also found that place by accident.and took photos.

Later, when the people from that magazine went looking for it again, they couldn't find it.

I finally saw hope, but now I suddenly said that I have to wait until after the Spring Festival.

What a torment.

However, the Spring Festival in Huaguo this year is indeed earlier than in previous years.

The Spring Festival in China happens to be the day before the final of the God of Chess Cup.

Now the Spring Festival in Huaguo is not far away.

Today, Qiu Shui has seen that a shop opened by a Chinese man opposite the hotel has begun to hang two red lanterns.

On the glass, some things with the atmosphere of the Spring Festival have also begun to be pasted.

Archibald's auction was held on the third day of the Spring Festival.

It is said that after Aqina was rejected by Qiushui, she went home angrily.

When they walked to the hall, they happened to be seen by the current Archibald Patriarch, who is also Aqina's biological father, Crude.

Usually Crude is rarely at home.

Basically Aqina and her younger brother Moses were there.

Some time ago, Crude went to the Stars and Stripes because of some things.

He said before he left that he would not return until three days before the auction.

But now he was at home.

So when Aqina saw Crude, she couldn't help being surprised.

At the same time, I had a bad feeling in my heart.

Sitting opposite him was Moses Dun who lowered his head and seemed to be being lectured.

After seeing Aqina coming in, Moses raised his head and glanced at her.

Afterwards, she winked at Aqina.

It's a pity that Aqina didn't understand.

"Daddy? Why are you back? Has the matter with the Stars and Stripes been settled?"

Aquina glanced at Moses Dun.Then sat next to him.

Crude looked at the excellent daughter on the opposite side, and sneered, "If I don't come back again, I'm afraid that you have already united with that Huaguo, and solved my patriarch's father, right?"

As soon as Crude said this, Aqina's pupils constricted and her expression changed slightly.

Oops, he knows.
