Chapter 24: Waiting for Three Minutes, It Really Ended in Three Minutes

The room was quiet.

Su Chen stood up.

He startled the young lady who was giving him a foot massage.

“Sir!”

The young lady called out.

“Just continue with what you were doing!”

Su Chen said as he walked directly towards the door.

He had just seen something unusual.

A flash of light appeared next door.

Su Chen was very familiar with that special kind of light.

It was the light emitted by a treasure chest.

However, when Su Chen walked out of the room and looked around, he did not see where the treasure chest was located.

“What’s going on?”

The light from earlier, although it had flashed by, Su Chen had seen it clearly.

Moreover, since the treasure chest was given by the System, others could neither see it nor touch it.

This ruled out the possibility of the treasure chest moving.

“But it had clearly appeared just now; the light was very real. How could it be gone?”

Su Chen carefully searched the surroundings.

Still, he could not find it.

After thinking for a moment, he got up and returned to the room, then opened the door again.

“Uh…”

Su Chen saw that Qiu Guang and the foot massage lady had switched places.

The young lady was lying on the chair.

Qiu Guang was…

“Brother Chen, you… didn’t you go out?”

Qiu Guang looked at Su Chen with an awkward expression.

Su Chen glanced at him.

“It’s fine, you continue; don’t mind me.”

Saying this, he closed the door again.

Afterward, he opened the door and walked out.

This time, Su Chen still did not see the light.

“How strange, it shouldn’t be like this!”

Su Chen felt that something was off.

When the young lady had walked over, he had been able to see it.

He absolutely would not mistake that light.

But now that he walked over, he saw nothing at all.

“Let me try again!”

After thinking for a moment, Su Chen turned around and opened the door to go back in.

“Ah!”

A sharp scream came from inside.

Su Chen: …

He completely forgot about the two people.

“It’s fine, it’s fine; pretend I don’t exist.”

Su Chen said weakly.

Qiu Guang: …

Fortunately, they had not officially started.

Otherwise, wouldn’t he have been seen?

That would have been too embarrassing.

Su Chen did not pay too much attention to the two of them.

After thinking for a moment, he half-squatted down.

He adjusted his height to be about the same as the young lady’s.

When he pushed the door open again, he did not open it fully.

Instead, he opened it just enough for him to pass through.

Just as the door opened wide enough for him to get through, a flash of light finally appeared.

“This…”

When the light appeared, Su Chen was momentarily stunned, then looked up.

He saw that the treasure chest was on the door.

That’s right!

It was on the door.

It was completely resting on the door frame.

When the door was closed or pushed open, the treasure chest passed through the wall.

It had just fit perfectly inside.

That was why Su Chen could not see it.

But when the door was halfway open, the entire treasure chest appeared, and the light followed.

“Silver treasure chest!”

When he saw the treasure chest clearly, Su Chen also let out a sigh of relief.

Moreover, this treasure chest was not of the lowest rank.

It was a silver-ranked treasure chest.

“This trip was worth it!”

Although he had come to a neighboring city, the treasure chest was in hand.

For Su Chen, everything was worth it.

He quickly reached out to open the treasure chest.

“Brother Chen, how about… closing the door?”

Qiu Guang’s voice came weakly from inside.

Only then did Su Chen realize that he seemed to have interrupted the two’s good time.

“I’ll wait for you outside.”

Su Chen said calmly.

Qiu Guang nodded, “Thank you, Brother Chen. Three minutes, I’ll wait for three minutes.”
