Li Du thought he was seeing an illusion, but when he recalled the bug and felt a sudden sense of exhaustion, he knew it was not an illusion.
The bug had absorbed the time energy from the stone statue and grew two legs. It had a new ability, which was to see the history of an object.
He quickly made this guess, and to test it out, he entered the next storage unit and found an old-looking oak chair to test it out.
The bug flew onto the chair. Li Du wanted to know the history of the chair. He had this thought, and then the scene he expected appeared:
Pieces of oak boards appeared in the storage unit, and two old men were working with chisels and cutting machines …
The scene changed rapidly, like a slide show. The chair was sold, and the people sitting on it appeared one after another …
Li Du sucked in a breath of cold air. The bug's new ability was too powerful!
However, it also used up a lot of energy. After using it twice, he was already exhausted, just like when he first used the bug's ability.
After sitting on the floor and resting for a while, Li Du patted his butt and left.
He would not look at the next few storage units; he would go back to sleep first. He would look at the situation of the storage units tomorrow.
As long as he did not use the time reversal ability, using the bug normally would not use up too much energy.
This trip to Sedona, Li Du's gains were unprecedented. It was more than winning a storage unit that was worth hundreds of thousands or even millions. The bug's new ability made him very happy.
In the future, even if he returned to China, he could use the bug to make a lot of money. For example, he could help people appraise the authenticity of antiques and jewelry. As long as he could trace it back to its source, no fake goods could escape his eyes.
Seeing him come out exhausted, Hans threw away the cigarette butt and asked, "How was it?"
Li Du said, "Let's see tomorrow. I'm very tired today, and I can't see anything."
Hans snapped his fingers. "Okay, go back and rest first."
Although there were not many residents in Sedona, there were many tourists and storage units. This time, there were ten storage units being auctioned at once, and it attracted many treasure hunters.
After sleeping for a day and a night, Li Du was full of energy after waking up. Under Hans' lead, they had a delicious breakfast, and then went to Forest Trail Storage Company.
Yesterday, he had been in a hurry to check on the storage unit's condition, so he did not take a good look at his surroundings. Now that he had arrived at the storage company early, Li Du looked around and realized that the environment was very good.
The storage company was located in the northern part of the town, along HWY89A Highway. Next to it was the famous Oak Creek Canyon, where a river meandered through. The water was clear, and along the river were lush trees and flowers.
Li Du took out his phone and took a few photos. "The scenery here is really nice," he said.
Hans said lazily, "Then you can play around in the surroundings later. Any place in Sedona has a nice scenery."
At nine o'clock, as the sun rose, the weather became warmer, and the people became more numerous.
Li Du did a rough count. There were a total of 150 people who had come to participate in the auction. There were a lot of people, so it was obvious that the competition would be fierce.
The auctioneer was a young man. He walked out energetically and said, "Everyone, please follow my footsteps. Today, there are too many people, so we need a group of four people. There are also a lot of storage units, so you will only have half a minute to view each storage unit …"
Hearing this, the treasure hunters hissed in dissatisfaction.
"What can you see in half a minute? You might as well not turn it on and let us take a blind shot! "
"Is this how Sedona treats its customers? That's not friendly, buddy! "
"Forget it, there are too many people. Let's go. I don't think we can get a storage unit anyway."
There were many complaints, but there were very few people who really wanted to leave.
The auctioneer was unmoved. He opened the first storage unit and said, "Come, everyone line up and start moving. Listen to me, you have to line up properly. Otherwise, I'll make you go back to where you came from!"
Li Du had seen this storage unit. Hans shone his flashlight and said, "This storage unit is not worth much, but if it's within 500 dollars, there's still some profit. There are a lot of bicycle parts in there, enough to build two bicycles …"
"Hmm, look at that, isn't that a safe? Doesn't seem like it, but there could be treasures hidden in the safe. It's worth the risk … "
"Are there hammocks in those bags? If so, we can increase the budget to 1,000 dollars. Grocery stores like hammocks … "
The auctioneer raised his hand and started to shout, "Come, come, come, guys, come closer to me. You guys have seen this storage unit, so you know the price, right? I'll say 200 dollars, 200 dollars, 200 dollars …"
Hans was about to raise his hand, but the other treasure hunters were faster than him. "Me!"
“250！”
"300 dollars, no problem!"
"500 dollars!"
"600 dollars!"
"800 dollars!"
"1,000 dollars, I want this storage unit!"
Hans raised his hand, and the auctioneer pointed at him. Seeing this, he quickly retracted his hand and said awkwardly, "Sh * t, is everyone crazy?"
"Are you going to bid or not, buddy? Don't raise your hand," the auctioneer warned with a frown.
Hans shook his head and stepped back. They were out of the bidding for this storage unit. The treasure hunters were bidding too crazily. In a few seconds, they had exceeded their minimum bid.
One of the treasure hunters saw that he was shaking his head and stepping back, and said unhappily, "Are you here to stir up trouble or what? Raising your hand and then putting it down, or are you a rookie? "
Hans glared at that person and said, "You know very well whether I'm a rookie or not. Freddy, this is not a good place to start a conflict. You'd better shut up!"
Freddy was a young black man with a head full of dreadlocks. His muscles were so well-developed that his white T-shirt was stretched taut by his muscles.
Hearing Hans's words, he smiled sinisterly. "I'm not your father, how would I know if you have a d * ck? But I heard that you've been in the limelight recently? But looking at you just now, you don't seem to live up to your name. "
Hans gave him the middle finger and said, "F * ck off, get lost."
At this time, the price of the storage unit had reached 1,500 dollars. Li Du shook his head and said, "The American government is giving money to the people? Everyone suddenly became very rich. "
Hans said, "There are too many people, and everyone is afraid of coming here for nothing. So the competition at the beginning is inevitable."
Freddy had been staring at the two of them. When he heard Li Du's words, he said, "Hey, Big Fox, don't you like fierce competition? Come, let's compete together. Don't be a pussy and retreat! "
Hans was too lazy to say more, and still gave him the middle finger.
Li Du frowned and said, "Does this guy have persecutory paranoia? Or did you offend him? Why is he always against us? "
Hans sneered, "I didn't offend him. Why would I offend a mad dog? This guy is trying to step on us to show off. Who asked us to be in the limelight now? "
In the end, the storage unit was bought for 2,000 dollars by a couple.
Li Du shook his head. The premium for this storage unit was too high; 2,000 dollars was not much.
The second storage unit was opened, and many stone sculptures appeared. Seeing this, the people's spirits were lifted, and they began to look at this storage unit.
