money?
Lu Li indeed didn't, but he opened the suitcase with a foldable space inside, took out two gold bricks, put them on the table, and asked:
"Gold in this world is still a precious metal, right?"
In the previous narrative, Yang Kai said that his most valuable asset was the diamond-encrusted gold pen.
And is the bit of gold above comparable to two gold bricks?
"yes!"
Yang Kai's eyes filled with tears. Compared to the stingy MiD, this senior from another dimension was obviously more generous.
"Remember to take action little by little."
In fact, the cautious Yang Kai had already thought of a way to deal with it without Lu Li reminding him——
Cut it into small pieces and keep hitting it with a hard object such as a hammer to ensure that the relevant recyclers cannot tell that it was cut from a certain gold brick.
After all, wealth is not exposed...
"Senior, you get 99% of the money in exchange, and I'll just charge you a hard-earned fee." Yang Kai said tentatively, with a respectful expression, for fear of being rejected.
Lu Li didn't care about external things at all, and said casually: "You can keep it yourself. There are still a lot of these vulgar things in the gift box."
"..."
For a moment, Yang Kai wanted to travel back in time and go to that university to study.
How good are the conditions for an exchange student to carry so many gold bricks with him...
Fortunately, Lu Li didn't tell you the real price of this thing in college. If he wanted to, he could use gold as bricks to renovate the small cave.
Before leaving this time, I bought ten yuan just to be prepared for this kind of situation.
Knock knock knock——
There was a knock on the door.
A girl's voice came: "Mr. Yang, there is your letter downstairs."
Then there was a thump.
Obviously, the other party went downstairs.
"That's Miss Meacham. She has a gangster boyfriend with weird tattoos on her hands. It looks scary."
After explaining, Yang Kai sighed:
"Don't look at it, it will definitely be rejected again."
Of course, he soon felt that there was no need to be depressed about it now, because he had money...
But Lu Li said:
"Let's go down and have a look. Based on my experience and intuition, there may be something to gain."
Although it is a bit boring to deal with another time traveler who is not very familiar with the situation, there are related events that can be investigated, which can be regarded as a goal.
Besides, there is no need to rush if the exchange lasts for a year. It is good to have an entry point after all.
After hearing what Lu Li said, Yang Kai was dubious and decided to take the letter.
Soon, a large envelope appeared on the desk.
"Morning Star" is a small newspaper with publishing qualifications, with a daily circulation of no more than 5,000.
With the impression of Momo Huhu, Yang Kai opened the newspaper, skipped the outdated old news, and soon found a story signed:
Anonymous.
"I have the impression that it was written by me, but I can't be sure..."
"That's it."
Lu Li looked at the story.
"Horror in the Villa"
[It had just rained heavily earlier, and water was dripping from the branches. The alleys in Worcestershire were all remote and muddy. It was not until dark that I was in a small garden full of vines and muddy water. , found an empty villa. 】
I?
First person?
Lu Li couldn't help but frown. He had read some before entering school. This narrative method did not seem to be popular with readers, but then he thought about it. The times are different, the audience is different, and the first person is indeed a good way to tell traditional suspense stories.
While thinking, his eyes did not stay in one place.
[Since the roof looked intact, I figured there was no reason why it couldn't be dry and pleasant inside, so I pulled out a customary iron bar from the lining and pried open the door. 】
[However, I guessed wrong. 】
[It was dark and damp inside, filled with a strong musty smell. I had no choice but to light a match and see the way forward clearly with the light surrounding the halo.
At that moment, the match sizzled and went out, and everything returned to darkness!
Even though it was such a gloomy moment and the villa was so remote, I was still not afraid, after all, I often do this kind of thing. I just closed the door carefully, then, lighting a match, I tiptoed into the living room.
The windows had been blocked with wooden boards. In order to make the air fresher, I took out the knife I brought with me and removed two boards. Then I lit a fire on the rusty small stove in the hall.
Soon, a bright firelight appeared. I took off my coat that was soaked by water vapor and put it aside to bake. Then, I quickly checked the revolver on my waist, stepped forward, and looked towards the place where my belongings might be. Walk upstairs...]
Revolver gun?
Looking at the weapons lying quietly in the drawer, Yang Kai couldn't help but swallow his throat, and a crazy idea emerged in his mind.
[After a while, my exclamation echoed in the villa, gold! A whole box of gold! There are gold coins and gold bars, and there are also several strings of pearl necklaces and various gemstones piled on top.
God, there are so many treasures in this abandoned villa. It is really a blessed place. After doing this, you will no longer have to take risks in the future.
Yachts, big-breasted girls, all kinds of luxury goods, not only that, a respectable status is also within easy reach...]
Since it involved a suicide mystery, Lu Li took it quite seriously and made sure there were no omissions.
Obviously, in the story, I am a thief, um, the kind who holds a gun. It seems that I should occasionally work part-time as a robber or robber.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
"There is a reversal, from a person taking shelter from the rain, to taking out professional tools and easily opening the door of the villa, to becoming a thief, and then showing off a pistol."
"There is still a little bit of expectation. After all, who hasn't imagined that they will suddenly become rich?"
"But, after taking so much money, why can't I suddenly think about committing suicide..."
While muttering to himself, Yang Kai seemed to be attracted by the next plot, or triggered related memory fragments. He made no other actions and stared at the paper with his eyebrows furrowed.
[After some counting, I finally counted the wealth I gained during this trip:
Two thousand ounces of gold, seven strands of pearl bracelets, and three red diamonds the size of pigeon eggs. The only flaw is that the quality is a bit questionable. There is a green substance stuck to it, a bit like marine algae.
Oh, by the way, there is a strange book at the bottom of the small wooden box. It is very ugly. A deformed monster is carved on the cover. It can be seen as an octopus, a dragon and a distorted man. They are all mixed together at the same time. together.
Seeing that it might be made of certain precious metals, I didn't throw it away rashly. I glanced at it casually and put it back at the bottom of the box. 】
In fact, that book should be the most valuable thing.
Magic book?
Forbidden book?
All kinds of speculations flooded into his mind, and were quickly suppressed. Since he was not a person involved, and due to his personality, he had experienced even more unbelievable facts, Lu Li was not excited.
His eyes moved slowly.
Look at the other half.
