Having learned his lesson from his previous encounter with Lu Guan, Chalmers did not chase Dickens away even though he had rejected his request to trade with him. Instead, he chatted with him.
He realized that Dickens was a little silly. He could gain a lot of storage auction knowledge from him, which would be helpful in organizing an auction.
Dickens also showed his cooperation. He told Chalmers that the storage auctions organized by ordinary people were called community storage auctions. One had to go to the Association of Storage Treasure Hunters' official website to apply for it. That way, the official website would give a recommendation.
After a round of conversation, Chalmers generously offered Dickens a beer. Dickens acted like an alcoholic. After getting the beer, he gulped it down and his mouth became even bigger.
He told Chalmers that one storage unit would not attract many treasure hunters. They had to have more storage units.
Chalmers said that it would not be a problem. He had four storage units on hand. His neighbors also had storage units that they wanted to deal with. He would organize it.
As he drank his beer, Dickens, whose face was flushed, said, "Buddy, keep an eye on the storage units. Tell your neighbors not to go in now. It's best to keep a layer of dust in the storage units. This will make the treasure hunters think that the storage units have not been touched for a long time."
"Is there a need?" Chalmers scratched his head. He was prepared to go to the other storage units to see what was inside. If there was anything valuable, he would take it away.
Dickens laughed. "Of course there is. If the treasure hunters realize that you have already swept through the storage units, they will know that you have taken away the valuable items. Then why would they still buy it?"
Chalmers suddenly understood. That was indeed the case.
However, if he did not check out the storage units, he would not feel at ease. After inheriting his uncle's house, the four storage units were too messy. Moreover, they were all old items. He had not tidied them up and had no idea what was in them.
Dickens said, "Anyway, it's up to you. If you remember that there is something valuable in your storage unit, then tidy it up. However, that way, the storage units will not fetch a high price."
Chalmers recalled that he had roughly looked through the storage units. Other than household garbage, abandoned furniture, and electrical appliances, there were also many books that his uncle had bought. They were all ordinary books and worthless.
With that, he had an idea. A perfect way to avoid his cousin and earn money at the same time.
At the campsite, Li Du received a call from Dickens. Hans asked, "How's the situation?"
Li Du said, "What can be done has been done. Man proposes, God disposes. Let's see what God will do."
He had been busy for the past two days. He had to think of a way to buy a full set of National Geographic magazines and remove the siege towers. The Hopi had hired a big truck to transport them, and the deal was completed.
In addition, Hans was also organizing a real-life Counter-Strike competition. The venue was chosen to be in the forest near the campsite. The competition would be held there.
In order to simulate the battlefield in the jungle, Hans brought Godzilla, Big Quinn, and the others to work hard.
They needed to dig trenches, pull up some protective nets, hang warning signs, and place fake snakes and traps. It was very troublesome to prepare.
After work, Luo Qun would also come to help. As a police officer, she often participated in training and was familiar with this kind of CS training ground. She could provide technical support.
In the middle of October, the venue was finally completed. The promotion for the CS competition was almost done. The competition began on the second weekend of October.
Li Du joined their teams. There were ten people in each team. Besides him, there were Hans, Sophie, Luo Qun, Lu Guan, Playboy, and other treasure hunters.
Godzilla and Big Quinn could not participate in the competition. They were too big and did not have suitable battle gear to wear. In addition, the competition needed referees. The two of them were suitable to be referees.
Americans loved to play. The competition that Hans had organized attracted many people to sign up. A total of nine teams were formed. Including the family members who came to watch the competition, there were more than a hundred people there.
Li Du put on a set of clothes. After checking that the laser gun was fine, he said, "You guys take it easy. We still have to go to the community auction. Don't cause any problems and miss the auction."
He was referring to the community auction that Chalmers had organized. He had applied for it last weekend. The Arizona Association of Storage Treasure Hunters had arranged for an online advertisement for his auction. The auction would be held this weekend.
Turis asked, "Is there anything good in the storage units?"
Li Du shrugged. "Who knows? Anyway, it's close by. It doesn't matter if we go and take a look, right?"
He was telling the truth. It was hard to say what he would get from this auction. Chalmers might clean up the storage units and find a full set of magazines. If that happened, he would have to return empty-handed.
Even if he could get the magazines, he did not intend to make them public. He wanted to keep the books — the full set of National Geographic — as a cultural treasure!
The Playboy was handsome. After putting on the camouflage uniform, he looked even more handsome, like a SS soldier in a military uniform.
In addition to the camouflage uniform and helmet with laser sensors, he also wore a pair of T-Rex sunglasses. There was a decorative plastic military knife at his waist. His blonde hair was meticulously combed, and he was shockingly handsome.
The team from the other team came over to greet them. Friendship came first, competition came second. This kind of entertainment competition should not hurt their friendship.
The two sides got to know each other. The team leader was a retired soldier named Wade Thomas. He had a big beard and strong muscles. He looked very smart and capable.
After getting to know each other, Thomas specially reminded the Playboy, "Brother, be careful. Our strategy here is to knock you out first no matter what."
The Playboy was confused. "Why?"
Thomas shrugged. "You're too handsome. D * mn it, a few of our guys brought girls here. They switched sides and went to support you. This made the guys very unhappy."
After they left, Hans waved to the others and said, "Guys, I have an idea. Let's change our strategy. Akkalou, sacrifice yourself and go to the front to attract the firepower."
"What? What kind of strategy is that? "The Playboy was very unhappy.
Luo Qun hugged her gun and laughed coldly. "Who asked you to dress up like this?"
The Playboy gave her a graceful smile and reached out to touch his forehead. He bowed slightly and said, "Beautiful lady, how can you say that? I actually dressed up specially for you. "
Lu Guan winked and smiled. "Wow, are you going to war or picking up girls? Or are you here to pick up girls for war? "
Luo Qun glanced at the Playboy and said disdainfully, "Sorry, I'm not interested in sissies."
The Playboy was still not angry, but he was very depressed. "Sissy? You're calling me a sissy? "
He stretched his body, and the lines of his muscles could be seen through the camouflage uniform.
Luo Qun patted his shoulder and said, "You've misunderstood me …"
The Playboy smiled proudly. "I knew you weren't talking about me."
"No, you've misunderstood me," Luo Qun added. "I said you're not a regular sissy, but a sissy made in the gym."
The Playboy continued to be depressed.
