Chapter 6: Treasure Hunting

The city of Venice stretched before Han Yu like a living painting, its winding canals glittering under the midday sun. Elegant gondolas glided along the water, their passengers laughing and chatting as they enjoyed the idyllic atmosphere.

“Venice... the water city of my childhood textbooks,” Han Yu murmured, taking in the breathtaking scene. As a child, he had often fantasized about visiting this romantic destination, imagining himself standing on one of its iconic bridges with someone special by his side.

But dreams often remained dreams. Back then, he had neither the money nor a girlfriend to make such fantasies a reality.

Now, however, things were different.

Sipping on a cup of milk tea, Han Yu glanced across the table at the woman sitting opposite him. Her features were stunning, reminiscent of a celebrity from his world. She was flipping through a travel guide with a look of focused interest.

This “celebrity” was actually a simulated citizen from his Inner Heaven and Earth, assigned to the Tourism Bureau. The city within his realm, though rapidly developing, still lacked iconic landmarks or cultural attractions. When the bureau staff learned that Han Yu was planning a trip to a famous tourist destination, they insisted on sending someone along to gather inspiration.

Sitting nearby was another companion, this one dressed sharply in a business suit. Her poised demeanor and sharp eyes gave her the air of a seasoned professional. She was Han Yu’s personal secretary, also a simulated creation.

“I still can’t believe I brought these two along. One’s too serious, and the other’s too carefree,” Han Yu thought, suppressing a sigh.

Just as he was about to make a lighthearted comment to ease the mood, his secretary leaned in and whispered, “Mayor, the team has located the site.”

“Oh? Tell them to secure the ‘princess’ and start assessing the surrounding area for additional resources,” Han Yu replied calmly.

“Understood. The ‘princess’ has already been delivered safely,” she reported, her tone efficient as ever.

With the mission proceeding smoothly, Han Yu set his cup down and stood. Though Venice’s charm had tempted him to linger, there was no time for sightseeing. His secretary rose immediately, ready to follow, while the Tourism Bureau officer finally looked up from her guidebook.

“Don’t worry,” Han Yu said, glancing at her with a faint smile. “One day, our city will have views just as breathtaking as this. No need to envy others.”

Her eyes sparkled with excitement. “Really, Mayor?”

“Of course,” he replied confidently. With the abilities granted by Wish Power, creating a replica of Venice in his realm was entirely within his grasp.

The "princess" they had secured was no ordinary treasure but the legendary Eye of Aurora, an artifact buried beneath the canals of Venice.

Legend had it that Aurora, an ancient Egyptian princess, was gifted the necklace by a powerful sorcerer. The Eye of Aurora allowed its wearer to teleport to any location they could visualize, but Aurora’s greed ultimately led to her downfall. She used the necklace to plunder treasures across the world, angering powerful enemies who banded together to end her life.

The artifact had since remained hidden, waiting for someone to claim it.

Back in his Inner Heaven and Earth, Han Yu examined the necklace closely. Its central gemstone glowed faintly, exuding a mysterious energy that seemed to hum with potential.

The interface confirmed its abilities:

Eye of Aurora

Teleportation: Allows the wearer to instantly travel to any visualized location.

Limitation: Cannot bypass magical barriers or enter heavily warded areas.

“This is going to make traveling a lot easier,” Han Yu said, already envisioning the possibilities.

With the Eye of Aurora safely stored in his Treasure Vault, Han Yu’s next goal was clear: use its power to streamline his resource-gathering operations.

But first, he had unfinished business in the world of Jackie Chan Adventures.

Han Yu had been keeping tabs on a certain automaker who possessed a rare collection of ancient Japanese playing cards. These weren’t just any cards—they were the Shadowkhan Cards, capable of summoning an army of shadow warriors.

Using the Eye of Aurora, Han Yu teleported directly into the automaker’s office.

“Who are you?!” the startled executive exclaimed, rising from his chair.

Ignoring the question, Han Yu focused on the framed display hanging on the wall. The thirty cards within glowed faintly, confirming their magical nature.

“These are mine now,” Han Yu said, snapping his fingers. The cards vanished into his inventory, leaving the executive gaping in shock.

Before the office’s security team could react, Han Yu activated the Eye of Aurora and teleported away, the cards safely in his possession.

The Shadowkhan Cards were now a prized addition to Han Yu’s arsenal.

In the original series, the Shadowkhan were formidable opponents, often overwhelming their enemies with sheer numbers. Though Jackie Chan had always managed to defeat them, Han Yu wasn’t concerned. Among the items he had plundered from Uncle’s shop was a recipe for a body-strengthening potion—an explanation for Jackie’s superhuman resilience.

“I’ll save this for later,” Han Yu thought, tucking the recipe away.

His next destination was the Temple of Shiva, home to the fabled Shiva Armlet.

The temple was hidden within a spatial rift, accessible only through a precise combination of coordinates. Using the Eye of Aurora, Han Yu bypassed the rift’s barriers and entered its ancient halls.

The armlet was said to grant its wearer two additional arms, along with enhanced physical abilities. While it seemed less practical than the Eye of Aurora, Han Yu couldn’t resist the allure of adding another rare artifact to his collection.

After navigating the temple’s traps and defeating its guardians, Han Yu finally secured the Shiva Armlet.

“Another piece for the vault,” he said, slipping it into his inventory.

As Han Yu reflected on his recent conquests, he realized that his realm was growing stronger with every mission. The treasures he gathered weren’t just tools—they were symbols of his expanding influence.

But more importantly, each successful mission brought him closer to his ultimate goal: creating a self-sustaining paradise within his Inner Heaven and Earth.

“This is only the beginning,” Han Yu thought, a satisfied smile on his lips.
