World Of Beasts: I Can See Their Hidden Stats! Chapter 232 - Another Curse?

Chapter 232: Another Curse?

Belinda did not know if Locke had said that on purpose to ease the awkwardness.

However, Locke’s words did pull her back to reality.

After drinking a mouthful of red wine and reminding herself not to let her imagination run wild, she said, “I need to find some precious Battle Beast materials. There are several types and dragon’s blood is one of them…

“Are you willing to help me?”

During the past few days of interaction, Locke had been observing her.

Although she looked hot and unrestrained on the outside, she was a little woman who lacked a sense of security on the inside.

Moreover, for some reason, this woman seemed to listen to him very much.

Belinda had not been willing to reveal the things that she had just asked him.

At the very least, she trusted himself.

After putting down the wine gla.s.s, Locke said, “Since everyone’s goals are similar, why don’t we help each other?

“If you can help me pay attention to and collect these things during my usual operations, I can give dragon’s blood to you.”

As he said that, Locke brought a piece of paper over.

Belinda browsed through it:

17 burning bones, 10 pieces of seven-eyed divine column fragments, 12 multi-elemental pearls, one set of water demon scales, 13 Earth spirit stones…

The more she looked at it, the stranger she felt.

“You… Are You in research or archaeology?”

Belinda’s reaction was not strange.

These things were all research materials and antiques in the eyes of others. They were really not of much use!

Locke could guess the other party’s reaction.

How could outsiders know the secret of his system’s upgrade rules?

The things on the note were exactly what the Twin-headed White Jade Snake needed to advance.

Among the materials for this advancement, there was an Earth attribute item such as “Earth spirit stone”.

This made Locke very curious.

Along with the previous plans and arrangements, he had decided to do this.

“You don’t have to worry about this. In the future, if you find anything, collect it for me. If you need to buy it, let me know at any time. I have enough money! Also, please keep it a secret!”

Locke also thought about asking Belinda to help him collect materials for two days.

Although he also had d.i.c.kens as a helper, he was also looking for a chance to establish himself in the underground of Heavenly City.

As they were not very familiar with the new place, if they wanted to find something, it would not be as convenient as before.

A person’s energy was limited. So, Locke let d.i.c.kens focus on laying a foundation in the Heavenly City during this period. This way, it would be more convenient for him to do things in the future.

After observing Belinda for a few days, Locke realized that she seemed to like him a little.

She was familiar with Heavenly City and was a well-informed royal agent. Naturally, she was the best target to use!

Of course, this was not a one-sided use.

Locke would also return the favor, such as the dragon’s blood that he had mentioned earlier.

“Hmm… Although these things aren’t easy to find, for the sake of the dragon’s blood, I’ll pay attention to them!”

Belinda put away the note carefully with a shy face.

“Then, thank you! Happy working with you!” Locke lightly knocked against the other party’s wine gla.s.s.

“Can you tell me what you need these things for? Perhaps I can help with other things too!”

Now that there was nothing to do, Locke found something to talk about during dinner.

What kind of treasure could make such a beautiful woman willing to do such a dangerous job.

After eating a mouthful of vegetables, Belinda wiped her mouth and said, “It’s not a secret anyway, I’ll tell you…

“The thing I’m looking for is an ancient book! But I don’t know its name.

“Perhaps… This book doesn’t exist at all.”

These words confused Locke!

Looking for something that did not exist?

Are you kidding me?

After knowing that the other party would have such a reaction, Belinda quickly explained, “Please don’t misunderstand! I’m not fooling you! What I said is true!

“This ancient book is very mysterious! It’s said to contain some secrets about this world!

“Moreover, this book requires all kinds of precious Battle Beast materials!

“But whether this method is a legend or not, I don’t know…

“The royal family has agreed that as long as I work for 20 years, they will think of a way to help me gather them…”

Locke did not expect the woman in front of them was so studious.

For the sake of this book, she had put herself in danger time and time again.

Twenty years! This was a woman’s youth!

Belinda was really desperate!

However, Locke could not understand her motive.

Belinda even knew how to pick locks. No matter how he looked at it, she did not seem to be like an intellectual!

“I know you don’t understand…” Belinda silently lowered her face and continued to explain, “But this is the only way to break my master’s curse. Whether it’s real or fake, I have to try.

“She raised me so I have to repay her and save her!”

Another curse?

Locke immediately thought of the situation of the Adelaide family.

So, there really was such a thing!

This kind of unexplainable method of harming people was too strange.

If there really was someone who knew this kind of evil spell, then he had to be even more careful!

After all, the system and the Battle Beasts’ skills did not say that they could guard against this kind of thing.

To prevent a similar crisis in the future, Locke needed to learn more about the curse.

“Tell me what else I need! Perhaps, I can use it too…”

Belinda immediately stood up and said worriedly, “Don’t tell me you’re also cursed? Quick! Tell me the symptoms! I’ll ask the private cracking organization to see if there’s any way to help you!”

As she said that, she immediately took out her phone, her face full of worry.

Looking at the other party’s silly look, Locke smiled and said, “It’s not me! It’s my friend! His family has a curse that causes a decrease in lifespan! I’m helping him to look for ways to break the curse.”

If this matter was true, it would definitely kill two birds with one stone!

If Adelaide’s curse was lifted, who knew how he would thank himself!

Adelaide might even give half of his family business to Locke!

“You scared me to death…” Belinda sat down and covered her chest with her hand.

Her complexion turned better.

“Then, did your master’s curse also reduce her lifespan?”

“No… Her curse is to sleep.”

“Sleep?”

“Yes, a deep sleep that cannot be awakened. It has been eight years!” Belinda clenched the fork in her hand.

“Who’s so bored that likes to prank people like this?” Locke found it unbelievable.

Belinda forced her eyes back and wiped the corners of her eyes. “We still don’t know who did it. When Master wakes up and after clarifying with her, I’ll definitely settle the score with that guy!”

Based on this reaction, Locke felt that he had found the right person. After all, a filial person was very trustworthy.

Seeing that the other party had recalled some unhappy moments, Locke did not dwell on this problem anymore.

He immediately changed the topic and tried to make the other party forget the unhappy thoughts.
