God-Level Game Developer System: I Brought In-Game Items To Real World - Chapter 208

Chapter 208: Treasure Compass
Hearing Kayden’s words, Weiss commented, “It will be far easier to find the game items hidden here as long as we find the treasure compass first.”

“The treasure compass is very useful as its magnetic needle will point to the nearest treasure. As long as we have it, the rest of the game items hidden in the Cargo Hold will be ours for the taking.”

Ayame asked, “How can we find the treasure compass? Won’t it be inconvenient if the rest of the game items were found before we discovered the treasure compass? The treasure compass will be useless by then.”

In response to Ayame’s question, Weiss pointed to the Cargo Hold map plastered on the wall, “That map shows the categories of cargoes organized in the Cargo Hold. Whether it’s from fine wine to clothing, all of the cargoes that aren’t game items are listed there.”

“In the navigation category, the treasure compass is listed on that map and we can find the treasure compass by following that map.”

Receiving Weiss’ instruction to check on the Cargo Hold map, Ayame and the rest of the team headed there to check it while Weiss remained in place.

Weiss already knew where all of the game items were placed including the treasure compass as well as the luxury cruise ship’s blueprint.

However, the players weren’t omniscient in the game world, unlike Weiss. Because of that, Weiss added some clues in every game of his.

To obtain game items or authorities in Cozy Vacation Life, a player either finds a clue to where the game items or authorities were obtainable. Other than that, players could either be lucky enough to stumble upon it or lucky enough to perform certain actions that triggered the opportunity to obtain it.

For example, information about the entertainment facilities’ location such as the casino could be obtained from the butlers and maids. If this information was obtained, the player could meet the masked dealer at the casino and could trigger the challenge for the Red Purification Pill and the Gambling Authority.

Or, the players could be lucky enough to trigger the hidden mechanism located in the library which would open up the entrance to the underground room of the library.

Weiss ensured to balance the game well enough that it wouldn’t be absurdly hard but also wouldn’t be too easy.

The only reason why they were having it easy was due to him guiding Ayame’s team. Other than that, it was also due to Ayame’s team being comprised of high-end players.

Otherwise, if Weiss guided incompetent teammates, then this game session wouldn’t have been that smooth sailing.

After all, Shirohige and Bianca obtained their authorities due to the two of them being competent players. If it was other players, they wouldn’t be able to complete the challenges for the Music Authority and Equality Authority.

The Music Authority required the player to at least be proficient in the realm of music. On the other hand, the challenge for the Equality Authority required the player to be patient.

If it was a tone-deaf player and an impatient player took upon those challenges, they would undoubtedly lose even if Weiss told them how to complete those challenges.

‘Even if I didn’t guide Ayame’s team, they can still complete Cozy Vacation Life. And besides, I can only guide them up until the luxury cruise ship arc ends. If it’s beyond that, I can only act as a spectator at most and my interferences can only be minor.’

Knowing that, Weiss didn’t hold back in guiding Ayame and her team while they were still on the luxury cruise ship.

Weiss wanted Ayame’s team to be fully equipped so that it would be a lot easier for them to deal with the threats in Cozy Vacation Life.

Fortunately, if they ever managed to mess up, Weiss was still allowed to intervene by using his Game Over Retry Authority. He can still use his power to assist Ayame and her team but he couldn’t spoonfeed them any information from beyond the luxury cruise ship arc.

Otherwise, if he overstepped his boundaries and assisted the players too much, the system would disqualify that game session and remove memories or information that would affect their gameplay.

The only exceptions to that were authorities or game items that could be obtained through pure chance or randomness such as the method to obtain the Sword Authority.

Weiss was allowed to disclose information about that since the Sword Authority wasn’t related to any storyline in Cozy Vacation Life and was more of a secret achievement or a side quest.

Currently, Kenshi wasn’t with them at the Cargo Hold since Kenshi was still busy performing his one thousand sword swings at the luxury cruise ship’s gym.

While Weiss was waiting for Ayame’s team, he didn’t have to wait that long since Ayame returned to him with the treasure compass in her hand.

“Is this the treasure compass, brother?”

Hearing Ayame’s question, Weiss looked at the compass that Ayame showed.

The Treasure Compass was a small, silver device with a sleek, polished exterior. At its center was a luminous magnetic needle that always pointed to the nearest treasure. The needle was housed within a clear crystal casing adorned with faintly glowing runes. The base of the compass featured detailed engravings of mythical creatures, adding a touch of ancient mystery to its appearance.

Even now, the treasure compass was already pointing to the nearest treasure, and from where it was pointing, the nearest treasure was undoubtedly hidden in one of the cargoes.

After seeing the silver compass with faint glowing runes showcased by Ayame, Weiss nodded, “Yes, that’s the treasure compass. With it, finding the other game items will be a lot easier.”

Receiving confirmation from her brother, Ayame decided to start using the treasure compass to find the game items hidden along with the normal cargo items at the Cargo Hold.

Following the direction where the treasure compass was pointing, Ayame soon arrived at one of the cargoes in the clothes category.

Ayame cautiously warned, “Prepare yourself guys. If something popped up when I opened this, be sure to use your authorities if it’s an enemy.”
