Five o'clock in the afternoon.

Noviba Gun Club.

"Bang..." A vigorous figure quickly shuttled across the actual shooting range.

The shotgun is extremely powerful and will smash the target into pieces every time.

After Luke smashed the targets along the way, he successfully passed the training ground. He took out the timer to check the time, which was 0.5 seconds faster than before.

Luke trained all afternoon with the help of shotgun learning cards, and his speed through the actual training ground was already as fast as David's.

It's a pity that David is not here, otherwise Luke would really give him a test.

Since using a shotgun, he has fallen in love with the feel of the gun. He practices shooting not only because of work needs, but also because he likes it.

And if you want to practice something to its limit, the best way is to like it.

Luke enjoyed this feeling.

"Ding ding ding..." Luke's cell phone rang.

He glanced at his phone and saw Lilith Finn's number displayed on the screen.

"Hi, beauty, good afternoon."

"Hey tough guy, I just saw the news report, you saved Los Angeles again."

Luke joked, "I thought rich people only read financial news."

Lilith Finn retorted, "Although my family is rich, I am just an heir. I have never considered myself a rich person, at least not now.

Moreover, really wealthy people don’t read financial news, because they are the producers of financial news.”

"OK, future financial news maker, tell me why you are looking for me."

"My treasure hunting team has already found it and the equipment is almost ready. They are waiting for you."

Luke happened to have time recently, and more importantly, he was short of money, so he said, "Let's meet tomorrow. Treasure hunting is different from ordinary tasks. It's better to talk about some things clearly in advance."

"You're right, I think so too. By the way, I'll introduce you to a treasure hunting partner."

"See you tomorrow." Luke hung up the phone, loaded the bullets, and continued practicing with the shotgun.

…

Decallen Restaurant.

This is an internet celebrity restaurant and a famous place for ladies to check in in Los Angeles.

The restaurant is located on the mountainside, overlooking the surrounding scenery. The decoration of the restaurant is also unique and in a retro style. It is not very gorgeous, but it blends in with the surrounding scenery.

When Luke entered the restaurant, he saw several young women gathered around a dining table. There was a pastry on the dining table, and several fashionably dressed women were taking pictures around the dining table.

Luke said his name, and a waitress led Luke into the restaurant. He passed a section of windows and opened a glass door. Outside was an open-air environment, which suddenly opened up and made him feel relaxed and happy.

There was only one table of customers sitting in the open-air restaurant, two young women.

One of them had blond hair, blue eyes, fair complexion, delicate facial features, and a graceful figure. It was Lilith Finn who invited him.

The other one is also a white woman, about 20 years old, with long colorful braids and thick glasses. She is not tall and looks a little dull.

Lilith Finn stood up and greeted as if she was familiar, "Hi, Luke, this way."

Luke did not disrespect her, but pulled up a chair and sat down, "Sorry for keeping these two beautiful ladies waiting for so long."

Lilith Finn pointed to the braided woman aside and introduced, "This is Mariel Bemba. She is proficient in various electronic and mechanical devices.

This is Luke, a very gentlemanly tough guy."

"Hello, sir."

"I like your braids, they are very distinctive."

"Thank you, just call me glasses girl."

"Are you sure?" Luke felt that similar nicknames should be used for acquaintances, and calling strangers seemed a bit disrespectful.

"Yes, I like people to call me that." The girl with glasses pushed up her glasses, "This way no one will mistake me, and it can save a lot of trouble."

"OK, glasses girl." Luke said calmly.

Lilith Finn said, "Our treasure hunting team is expected to have four members. In addition to the three of us, there is also a guide who will meet us at the treasure hunting location."

The girl with glasses urged, "Tell me about the clues to the treasure. I can't wait."

Lilith Finn took out a seven centimeter diameter barrel from the backpack behind her, opened the lid, and took out a piece of yellow leather. The leather was a bit old and looked very old.

Because there were no other guests around, Lilith Finn directly laid the yellow leather on the table.

"This is a treasure map that can be traced back to the sixteenth century. According to the description of the treasure map, a ship filled with Indian treasures encountered pirates on its way back to Europe. Under the leadership of the captain, the crew

The pirates were defeated, but they themselves were seriously damaged, the hull was also damaged, and they had to dock on an uninhabited island.

Because they didn't know when they would be rescued, they hid the treasure on a small island to prevent outsiders from prying at it.

I have studied this treasure map for a long time, and I can basically determine the approximate location of the treasure, which is located in the U.S. Virgin Islands between the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea."

The girl with glasses asked, "Can I take a closer look at this treasure map?"

"Look around as you like, but you can't take pictures."

The girl with glasses looked at the map and said, "I know this place is an overseas colony of the United States. However, the Virgin Islands are divided into the United States and the United Kingdom. Can you be sure that the treasure we are looking for is the United States Virgin Islands, not the British Virgin Islands?

?”

Lilith Finn shrugged, "I don't mind if your share of the treasure wants to be taxed in two countries."

The girl with glasses said firmly, "No, I'm sure, it's the U.S. Virgin Islands."

Luke also looked at the map carefully and said, "Although the U.S. Virgin Islands is a colony of the United States, it is not closely connected with the country. The risk factor will be relatively high when exploring treasure hunting there."

"I know, that's why I invited you here. What's more, I also hired a local guide. I believe that with the two of you here, we can avoid some potential dangers."

Luke just reminded the other party that since Lilith Finn is not afraid, Luke himself has nothing to be afraid of.

"How long is our treasure hunt expected to take?"

Lilith Finn took out her tablet from her bag, clicked on Google Maps, and zoomed in, "After careful research, I found that the treasure location should be on the island in this area. As long as we search this area, we should be able to find it."

Find the treasure.

If you can't find it, it means there is something wrong with the treasure hunting plan, and the treasure hunting operation will also be temporarily terminated.

So I estimate it will take about 3 to 5 days.”

Luke frowned and said, "This area is not small and there are many islands. It will not be easy to search it in 3 to 5 days."

Lilith Finn looked at the girl with glasses aside, "I also thought of this, so I purchased some equipment in advance."

The glasses girl continued, "We have advanced drone cameras, metal detectors, diving equipment, water purifiers, etc., which can help us shorten the treasure hunting time as much as possible."

Although Luke had read the map, his research time was still short and he did not know the specific origin of the map. In addition, it was the first time for both parties to cooperate, so Luke was a little unsure about this treasure hunt.

But the problem is that Lilith Finn is more powerful and offers a hiring fee of 400,000 US dollars. In addition, after finding the treasure, Luke can also get a quarter of the treasure.

Even if the treasure cannot be found, earning 400,000 US dollars a week is still a profitable business, and Luke has no reason to refuse.

Luke asked, "When are you ready to leave?"

"The sooner the better." Lilith Finn looked at Luke with a hint of inquiry.

Luke thought of the Zhang brothers, who had not contacted him since lunch yesterday.

Luke did not take the initiative to contact them. If he contacted them in a hurry, the other party would probably lower his shares.

If the stake is too low, it is meaningless and it is better not to cooperate.

Luke decided to give them one more day. If they didn't contact him today, he would leave tomorrow.

"I will prepare today and buy some equipment. If nothing unexpected happens, we will set off tomorrow."

Lilith Finn took out a piece of paper from her backpack and said, "This is the list of adventure equipment I purchased. You can use it as a reference."

The three of them chatted for a while and decided on the time for tomorrow's trip.

Luke tasted the pastries, drank a cup of black tea, and experienced the life of a noble lady.

In the afternoon, Luke went shopping for some outdoor adventure equipment.

The U.S. Virgin Islands has a tropical maritime climate, so you must purchase some mosquito repellent supplies.

The local island has dense vegetation and is rarely visited by people. There are no roads. The dagger given by my father can be used just right.

You must also buy a pair of waterproof and non-slip shoes.

There are also headlamps, raincoats, tactical flashlights, lighters, binoculars, compasses, sleeping bags, etc.

As for the GPS navigation, maritime satellite phone, flares, tent, engineer shovel, camera and first aid kit, Lilith Finn has already purchased them, so there is no need for Luke to buy any more.

After coming out of the adventure outdoor store, Luke went to a nearby high-end gun store to buy another shotgun. The dense rainforest was covered with vegetation, making it difficult to determine the enemy's position. The shotgun's attack range was relatively small.

Larger, more suitable for fighting in the jungle.

Luke wanted to buy a Benelli M4 shotgun. In addition to the regular version, his boss also recommended a modified version to him.
