Hans was so hot that he couldn't speak. He pointed at the iced rice wine and nodded.
Li Du was not in a hurry. He chuckled and filled the glass with ice. Then he picked up the bottle and poured the rice wine into it.
Although he had only used gauze to filter it, the rice wine was not very thick. It was as smooth as silk after it was poured into the crystal glass. The wine flowed down the side of the glass and looked even more sparkling than crystal.
He first poured a glass for Bedes and Nicole. Bedes raised the glass and shook his wrist lightly. The ice cubes in the glass made a 'kacha kacha' sound as they hit the crystal glass. It looked very stylish.
When it was Hans' turn, he took the glass and drank it. He wiped his mouth and let out a breath. "Ah, this is great!"
Li Du smiled. "Can you taste it?"
Hans spread his hands and said, "I'm too thirsty, my brother. I've been watching for the whole day. I didn't die of dehydration in the depths of the desert. My parents in heaven have blessed me!"
He drank three glasses in a row before he slowed down.
Nicole looked like a tomboy, but she was very ladylike when she drank. She took small sips and looked thoughtful.
Li Du poured a glass for himself and passed the bottle to Godzilla.
The Mexican man scratched his head in embarrassment, but he didn't stand on ceremony. He took the bottle and drank it in big gulps.
Li Du also took small sips. The rice wine tasted sweet and sour. The aroma was spicy, but the texture was good. It looked as smooth as silk.
There was a big bottle in the fridge. Nicole drank two glasses and said, "This wine can be used as a beverage, but not as a cocktail."
Li Du said, "It's a beverage. How is it? How does it taste?"
Hans put down the glass and let out a breath. "Phew, it's great. Buddy, I can't live without this stuff anymore. Go back and continue brewing. I'm your loyal customer."
It was evening and the sun was setting, but it was still hot outside. Drinking sweet and cool iced rice wine at this time was indeed a kind of enjoyment.
After enjoying the wine, Hans told Li Du the information he had gathered.
"Tomorrow, the Phoenix Public Land Information Center has a batch of storage units for auction. Rick went to a few officials today and got some information. He'll be attending tomorrow."
Li Du asked, "Public Land Information Center? Isn't this a government department? "
It was indeed a government department that specialized in providing land and tourism information for the Forest Service, the National Park Service, the Bureau of Land Management, and other departments.
Hans said, "Yes, but the Forestry Bureau and the National Park Service often find things that are lost or thrown away by tourists. They will store them in the official warehouse, and this auction will be held in the official warehouse."
The Public Land Information Center would set up an official warehouse in every region. However, these warehouses were notorious for being rubbish warehouses. Many of them were used to store rubbish.
Originally, the storage unit was used to store lost items that had not been found by their owners for a long time. It could be considered a storage point for lost and found items. Every time it was auctioned, treasure hunters would fight over it.
When the Bureau of Land Management found out about this, they started to throw their trash in and let the treasure hunters pay the bill.
After understanding this information, Li Du and the others rushed to the official warehouse early the next morning. They had received the news too late and were unable to investigate the situation in advance.
Fortunately, his control over the bug was getting stronger. As long as he did not use his ability to absorb time energy, he could control the bug for a long time.
The Public Land Information Center's warehouse was located in a desert on the outskirts of Phoenix. There were no buildings in the vicinity; it was just a large, crudely built warehouse.
Looking at the large warehouse, Li Du exclaimed, "The national warehouse is really grand!"
The storage units that they had participated in were usually small or mini. The storage units here were all large, easily over a hundred square meters in area.
Hans said disdainfully, "The warehouse is too small. How can it hold rubbish?"
Because of the Public Land Information Center's notoriety, there were not many treasure hunters who came to participate in the auction. Under the hot sun, there were not many people. Only a few dozen trucks were parked by the road.
When the sun rose early in the morning, the place became hot. There was not even a place to shelter from the sun. Li Du and the others could only sit in the Iron Knight.
He first went to the warehouse and released the bug to take a look.
In the end, after looking in two warehouses, the bug only saw piles of rubbish. There was no harvest, and the weather was hot. He was too lazy to stay outside, so he went back to the car.
At this time, the car was like a sauna; they had to keep the air conditioner on.
When the auction started at nine o 'clock, the car door opened and a group of people walked out. Their voices were full of resentment.
"D * mmit, is Phoenix going to explode? I feel like I'm on a volcano! "
"Roy, if we don't get anything this time, I'll teach you a lesson. I wasted a lot of gas just by turning on the air conditioner!"
"D * mmit, me too, I have a bad feeling —"
"Shut up, look who that is? The dog-eared father and son, there must be something good here. He heard something! "
"Look over there, China Li and Big Fox, they're here too. There must be something good!"
Rick saw Hans and Li Du and was stunned for a moment. Then he sneered, "No wonder I haven't been sleeping well recently. Turns out I'm being targeted by two dogs."
Lil 'Rick walked over angrily, pointing at them. "How does it feel to eat sh * t while following behind us?"
Godzilla jumped out of the car and walked over with a gloomy face.
Seeing this, Lil 'Rick lost all his vigor. He remembered the day when he was pointed at by the big man with a machine gun. He didn't dare to say anything more and ran away with his tail between his legs.
Li Du asked, "Why did you get out of the car too?"
Godzilla huffed and puffed. "It's too hot."
An old auctioneer walked out with a list and shouted, "It's so hot, let's not waste time. There are a total of 12 storage units today, all of which are big. I wish you good luck. The starting price for all the storage units is 100 dollars. You guys can bid yourselves!"
The weather was indeed hot. The auctioneer also knew that there was nothing to be gained, so he was too lazy to host the auction himself.
The first storage unit was opened. Li Du had already looked through it. It was mostly trash. The valuable items were T-shirts, tents, picnic cloths, and the like, which could not be sold for much.
Rick looked at the two of them. He guessed Li Du's plan, so he started bidding for the first storage unit. "I'll give 200 dollars!"
Li Du estimated that although the storage unit was mainly trash, it was large enough. After sorting the trash, it could be sold for about 800 to 1,000 dollars.
So when he heard the bid, he raised his hand and said, "I'll give 500 dollars!"
Rick and Hans were undoubtedly the two biggest names among the treasure hunters. When both of them bid for the storage unit, the treasure hunters became interested and started bidding.
"Five hundred and fifty dollars!"
"Six hundred dollars!"
"Eight hundred dollars!"
Rick's face was gloomy as he shook his head. Li Du took the cigarette butt from Hans and walked over. "With me around, you won't get anything today, do you believe me?"
"F * ck —" Lil 'Rick opened his mouth and cursed.
As soon as he opened his mouth, Li Du immediately used the Time Deceleration skill and quickly raised his hand to flick the cigarette butt.
It hit the bull's eye, and the cigarette butt successfully landed in Lil 'Rick's mouth!
