In the next second, a jelly-like object was spat out by it.

Seeing this, Su Mu picked up the palm-sized jelly-like object. It was transparent and colorless, making it hard to determine what it was, but he could feel a very pure and advanced energy emanating from it.

What it is doesn't matter, as long as it's a treasure!

After he put the item away, he noticed the Little Koi Carp continuously circling around his feet, expressing its gratitude.

If it wasn't for Su Mu's intervention, this Little Koi Carp wouldn't have made it up.

This colorless, transparent object was also a meeting gift from the Little Koi Carp. Su Mu carefully examined the golden koi and found its patterns to be very beautiful. The golden scales shimmered with sparkling light. This was the first time Su Mu had seen such a beautiful koi carp.

At this moment, Su Mu felt a sense of appreciation for this talent. Why not form a contract?

However, while this koi was beautiful, it wasn't a true Treasure Fish. If it was, it shouldn't have struggled so much to climb this waterfall.

Su Mu doesn't contract just any fish, knowing that post-contract, he would need to spend Favor Points and take care of it, increasing his burden and responsibility. Just like now, Su Mu has contracted four, each requiring at least hundreds of Favor Points for feeding, which is quite a pressure.

At this moment, the Little Koi Carp nudged Su Mu's foot with its head, signaling for him to follow.

In the next moment, it swam forward, and Su Mu followed closely, curious about what it was up to.

Soon, the Little Koi Carp swam to a peaceful part of the water and pointed to a grassy area with its nose.

Hmm?

Is there something here?

Su Mu reached into the grass and began to search, suddenly really feeling something.

He then pulled it out.

"What is this thing?"

"A shell?"

It looked like a shell, but there were some differences since the shell was purple and covered in dense, crooked runes.

It was about the size of two palms and had some weight. This thing must be a few tons to weigh this much and with its appearance, it clearly wasn't an ordinary shell—this was a treasure!

Well, he had lived here for so long and hadn't found such a treasure, but this Little Koi Carp had been here for less than half a stick of incense's time and already found a treasure for him.

Truly a koi! It comes with a halo of luck. From avoiding the pile of falling rocks with a one-in-a-million probability, we can see some of that luck; it's really impressive!

After finding this shell, the Little Koi Carp led Su Mu to the next location.

Seeing this, Su Mu stowed away the shell and followed.

Quickly, the Little Koi Carp swam to a low and straight section of the river, tapped the water with its head, and indicated that there was something under a large stone.

Su Mu then moved the big stone and found a wooden box beneath it. Opening the box, he discovered an elixir pill inside.

Taking out the pill and placing it in his palm, he smelled a very strange fragrance, and a silver pattern looped around the surface of the pill.

Are these Pill Patterns?

Although Su Mu wasn't knowledgeable about alchemy, he had read some ancient texts on elixir pills and knew that such silver patterns were called "Holy Pill Patterns" and only appeared on some Top-Grade Holy Pills.

The Pill Pattern was exquisitely crafted, as though engraved by a master artisan, resembling a work of art.

This wooden box seemed to be a fine item too, so Su Mu put the elixir pill back in the box for safekeeping.

This time, the Little Koi Carp found Su Mu a second treasure, and it was quite high-level, not a common artifact.

.....

Over the next half hour, Su Mu, under the guidance of the Little Koi Carp, found a total of five treasures!

This little guy seemed to be on an automatic treasure hunt mode, finding treasures wherever it went, and the most remarkable part was that it wasn't even deliberately looking—it just stumbled upon them.

This must be the Innate Carp Sacred Body!

Regarding such an Innate Carp Sacred Body, Su Mu had encountered it before traversal with a distant cousin. Despite poor academic performance, her luck defied all odds.

At five, accompanying her father to buy lottery tickets, she casually picked a scratch-off costing ten bucks and struck a top prize of three hundred thousand!

Consequently, her father paid off his debts.

When she was six, while playing by the roadside, a truck passing by was loaded with steel pipes, which suddenly fell off, hurtling toward her.

Bizarrely, the pipes narrowly missed each part of her body as if orchestrated by fate, with even the medical experts calling it a miracle.

At seven, her father, realizing her luck, had her write a series of numbers and bought lottery tickets. One ticket alone hit five million!

Since then, her family moved out of their old neighborhood, into a villa, and drove luxury cars.

Her streak of good fortune continued into adulthood; poor academic performance kept her out of college, but she joined her father in stock trading. Randomly picking a few stocks, she watched them skyrocket in a week, selling just before they plummeted overnight!

By twenty-three, she was worth over a hundred billion, a successful entrepreneur with several companies, becoming the wealthiest in her city.

Would you say she worked hard?

She didn't need effort, only luck.

.....

In this Little Koi Carp, Su Mu saw the reflection of his distant cousin's prowess in luck, invincible!

This time, the indecision in Su Mu's heart turned to resolve—this Little Koi must be contracted! Such fortune, finding treasures, was simply unbeatable!

The strength didn't matter; as long as it came with luck, nothing else was significant.

[Would you like to spend five thousand Favor Points to contract the "Spirit of Fortune"?]

Seeing this, Su Mu's eyes widened.

What?!

The contract alone would cost him a full five thousand Favor Points? That's daylight robbery!

Moreover, the koi's name truly suited it—Spirit of Fortune, indeed a fitting title.

Five thousand is five thousand, although it's a lot, Su Mu wasn't stingy enough—without risking anything, you gain nothing.

"Contract it."

In the next second, an invisible spiritual bond linked the human and the fish together.

After the contract, Little Koi Carp seemed very happy, circling around Su Mu's leg.

....

The Little Koi Carp led Su Mu to an area where the water flowed rapidly, and soon Su Mu spotted a half-meter-wide whirlpool. The Little Koi swam to its edge, sending him a spiritual sense, indicating there was a treasure in the whirlpool.

Seeing this, Su Mu stepped onto the water, extended his right hand, and reached into the whirlpool.

Quickly, he grabbed something and pulled it out.
