Itto is probably the only boss to be suspected by his subordinates.
Ayaka stepped forward and said, "That's precisely why we're here this time."
It wasn't until Ayaka provided proof that Kuki Shinobu stopped her suspicions.
"I can't believe it's such a coincidence; the treasure we buried is actually with the legendary Shitou..."
After learning the situation, Kuki Shinobu sighed with emotion.
"Alright, alright, a coincidence is a coincidence. The most important thing now is to find that legendary, super invincible… uh, anyway, just that Shitou will do."
Itto, always the impatient one, led the way into the cave.
"Oh no, it seems we didn't bring any tools."
It wasn't until he entered the cave that Itto remembered he had come empty-handed.
Xavier handed over a pickaxe; though not large, it was enough.
"Here, this is for you."
"Huh? This small? This will take until tomorrow to dig!"
Itto was very displeased. Xavier became even more unhappy and was about to take the pickaxe back.
"Don't! Something is better than nothing!"
Itto immediately gripped the pickaxe and started working with grunts and groans.
"Confirmed, the streamer is Doraemon reincarnated!"
"This is insane, how did I not see the pickaxe just now?"
"There must be a film crew following them, how could they let you know?"
"But why do I have a bad feeling? Is this Shitou really that useful...?"
Bullet comments continuously floated by, and Xavier sat leisurely on a nearby stone.
Because digging for stones was something he didn't need to do at all; he could leave it all to Itto.
The others were also happy to be idle, overseeing the work.
"Tired... I'm exhausted!"
Itto, who had been mining for two or three hours, was panting with exhaustion.
Xavier, at this moment, asked with great humanistic care, "Are you tired, Itto?"
Itto's eyes were filled with tears. He wiped the dirt from his face and said, "Xavier, I knew you were the best to me. You want to help me dig, don't you?"
Xavier shook his head, then took out a bottle of Red Bull from his space.
"Itto, drink it, and you will possess infinite power!"
Itto, with tears streaming down his face, drank the Red Bull and continued to work diligently.
After another two hours of digging, Itto finally noticed something.
"Look, there's light here!"
Everyone immediately perked up, and Xavier also walked over with his phone.
They found that light was indeed flickering underneath, and it was multicolored!
"Hahaha, This Daddy, knew that the legendary super invincible, anyway, it's here!"
Itto worked even harder, swinging the pickaxe so fast it almost flew into the sky.
"Almost there, almost there..."
Itto muttered to himself while digging with all his might, and finally, the legendary Shitou appeared before their eyes.
"Hmm? Why is it only this big!"
Upon seeing the true appearance of this Shitou, everyone was a bit disappointed, especially Itto.
Because this Shitou was only palm-sized, and it didn't look that hard.
"If it's only this much, then it seems our mission has failed," Shikanoin Heizou shook his head.
He had searched for a long time, only to find something like this, which was truly disappointing.
"This thing..."
Itto stared intently at the Shitou in front of him, then suddenly remembered something and shouted, "I remember now!"
Itto's sudden shout startled everyone.
"Hey, can you stop shouting? You woke me up!"
Sayu, who was sleeping outside, was startled awake and walked in, rubbing his eyes.
When he saw the Shitou flickering with multicolored light, he couldn't help but feel curious.
"Is this the Shitou you're looking for? It looks very powerful."
Xavier took the Shitou, first weighed it in his hand, then shook it.
Then, he said with little optimism, "Itto, I'm not trying to discourage you, but I think this Shitou feels about as heavy as mud."
"Thud..."
Itto felt a heavy blow, directly fell to his knees, and cried out, "This isn't some super invincible dazzling ore at all; this is my hidden treasure!"
Everyone's gaze simultaneously fell on Itto, and for a moment, they didn't react.
It was Kuki Shinobu who reacted quickly, murmuring, "So, this is the treasure you wanted us to find?"
"If I haven't misunderstood, the super invincible dazzling ore we were supposed to find is what Arataki Itto calls his treasure," Shikanoin Heizou summarized.
Xavier rubbed his head, wondering what was going on.
So, was this the legendary Shitou of Inazuma, or the super invincible dazzling ore mentioned by the system, or was it Itto's hidden treasure?
Kuki Shinobu couldn't help but ask, "Boss, why did you hide this Shitou here? Is there some meaning to it?"
Itto, while dejected, explained, "I bought this from a merchant. Such a beautiful and interesting Shitou, I originally planned to hide it and let you all find it..."
This wave was a big cycle.
"Ahem, Itto, you don't need to be too dejected. What if this Shitou you bought is actually the legendary Shitou?"
Xavier still believed in the system. Although this guy wasn't very reliable, if it issued a task, it certainly wouldn't trick him.
Itto added, "I bought this for one Mora..."
Xavier immediately closed his mouth. At this point, no matter what he said, everyone probably wouldn't believe it.
A Shitou bought for one Mora, wanting to forge the strongest weapon, was truly a bit difficult.
Xavier forced himself to comfort him, "What if? What if this Shitou really is it?"
Itto seemed not to have heard. He suddenly stood up and became extremely enraged.
He casually picked up a large stone and heavily smashed it onto the Shitou that was flashing with multicolored light.
"This Daddy, am so angry!"
Itto roared, using all his strength.
Dust flew everywhere, and everyone quickly moved aside.
They had expected this fragile Shitou to shatter, but to their surprise, the large stone was smashed open, yet this Shitou remained perfectly intact.
Itto rubbed his eyes, still not reacting.
When he finally realized what happened, he immediately burst into joyous laughter.
"Ah hahaha, this is great! This Daddy, knew this Shitou was the legendary Shitou!"
Xavier was speechless; he was clearly the most skeptical one just a moment ago.
Itto quickly picked up the Shitou and wiped it with his clothes, guarding it against his chest like a treasure.
"Xavier, you knew I bought this Shitou all along, and you knew this Shitou was the legendary super invincible dazzling ore, right? That's why you planned to bring me here!"
Itto suddenly turned his head and looked at Xavier with a moved expression.
Xavier didn't know how to explain for a moment, so he could only give a dry laugh, "Hehehe, yes, actually, I knew all along..."
