It's so heavy, I can't carry it at all.
Huai Shi panted as he walked on the mountain road. He felt the heavy load in the saddle bag.
As a divine artifact, the functions of the Wise One's survival bag were certainly not limited to the civilian version of Doraemon's Universal Tool Kit. Moreover, it also had the storage ability similar to a Space Ring.
It wasn't big, about two cubic meters, just enough to fit all the tools and food and water supplies needed by an archaeological team member.
Even though the design looked old and the style and material were not eye-catching, there was no doubt that it could bring extensive and huge help to the sublimator.
The only problem was that although things could be stuffed in, it wouldn't be free of any weight.
Yes, the weight of the things you put in would be the same as the weight of the things you put in …
Furthermore, the center of gravity was on one side, so it was extremely difficult for him to walk. If he walked for a long time, he might even fall over …
As for the special ability of this divine artifact, after two studies, Huai Shi had more or less learned some things.
Although the effect was random and uncontrollable, there was still a certain trick to it.
The most important thing was that when using it, you must have a clear understanding of your own situation and have a complete and feasible plan in order to maximize its effect.
If you were in a difficult situation and your mind was blank, the things you took out from the backpack … That would be interesting.
After all, there was more than one solution to a problem.
Even if the things you took out would inevitably help the situation, the help could be big or small.
For example, after Huai Shi fell into a ditch, if he only hoped that this magical backpack could save him, then it was very likely that he would take out a ladder that was not long enough, or a disposable phone that could not be used at all in areas with poor signal.
If it was even worse, he might have taken out a bottle of spray-on powder from inside.
Only after clearly understanding the situation would he know whether he needed to call for help or save himself. What he needed was a phone, a ladder, a longer rope, or a pistol with a signal flare … After all, there was only one chance, and the cooldown time was two weeks, which was half a month.
If he had to wait for the next opportunity, it would be too late.
Most of the time, for Huai Shi, this ability that was too random was not as useful as its storage function.
For example, when you plan to take advantage of the situation …
Carrying the heavy saddlebag, Huai Shi felt a beautiful hope rise in his heart. He continued to push forward on the mountain path, bypassing the main road and approaching the chalcedony hall step by step.
Then, he climbed over the wall and entered.
When he landed, he saw Fang Shu looking at him from behind the window.
The old man thought that a thief had broken in, so he held a double-barreled shotgun with a disdainful expression. When he realized that the person who had climbed over the wall was his young master, he was stunned and puzzled.
Why didn't they go through the front door?
Of course, it was because there was a Metal Swallowing Beast at the entrance!
It was one thing for Huai Shi to be a backstabber, but she had already stepped into the realm of Russian Dolls. She was capable of backstabbing others. If she found out that he had returned from raiding their properties, there would be consequences!
Huai Shi hurriedly raised his finger and shushed him. Then, he pointed in the direction of the basement, his expression urgent.
Fang Shu turned around to take a look, then gestured to his young master that it was safe.
Then, Huai Shi let out a sigh of relief. He tiptoed to the back of the house and swung the Sorrowful Rope, pulling him up to the third floor. After the Confining Hand opened the window, he climbed in and closed the window. He let out a long sigh of relief.
He couldn't help but smile excitedly.
He rubbed his hands together.
Because of the short amount of time, he hadn't carefully looked at what was inside the safe. After confirming that it was a precious item, he had stuffed it into his bag.
Now, he could finally take a proper inventory.
Ten minutes later, Huai Shi wiped his sweat and looked at the small mountain of shiny metal on the bed. He still couldn't believe it, and wondered if he was dreaming.
"Oh my … … So much Pure Gold?"
Pure Gold was a gold-like metal created through alchemy.
Although it had the same nature as gold, it had a good fusion rate with Origin Substances.
All along, it had been used as a general material for alchemy. It was widely loved and popular, and the demand for it was huge.
Other than the fact that its cost was three times higher than normal gold, it had no other shortcomings.
Because of this, it could be considered a hard currency at the border. It was easier to circulate and use than Origin Substance crystals, which could easily cost millions or even tens of millions. It was deeply loved by criminals.
Looking at the imprint on it, it was actually the alchemy symbol of the Cavendish Workshop. In other words, this batch of Pure Gold was all produced by the smelting center of the Cavendish Workshop.
As the workshop with the best quality control in mass production, no, it should be called a giant monopoly. The Cavendish Workshop not only exported a large number of products, but also accepted various batches of business in the industry, such as OEM, extraction, purification, and so on. It was also one of the largest raw material suppliers in the world.
Since it could be stamped with the Cavendish Workshop's symbol, it proved that the purity of this batch of Pure Gold was above 99%.
It was no wonder that such a small pile was so heavy.
According to the tradition of the Cavendish Workshop, in its undivided state, each piece of Pure Gold should weigh exactly five kilograms. It should be enough to support a standard large-scale alchemy operation.
Then, the fifty-one pieces here should be two hundred and fifty-five kilograms.
After checking the exchange rate of Pure Gold today and obtaining a price of five thousand seven hundred US dollars per ounce, he began to calculate …
Huai Shi's hands trembled as he pressed on the computer for a long time, but he still couldn't calculate it. Just as he was getting anxious, he heard a voice behind him, "It's about fifty-one thousand and two hundred and seventy thousand US dollars. In East Summer dollars, it's about two hundred and fifty million."
"Oh, so that's how it is!"
Huai Shi let out a long breath. He could no longer contain his surprise. He was about to express his thanks when he realized who had spoken. His smile froze on his face.
It disappeared bit by bit.
He turned around and saw Crow, who had landed on his shoulder at some point.
She was also looking at Huai Shi. Her watery eyes blinked as she asked curiously, "My wings are clean. Can I touch your Pure Gold?"
"No, go away!"
Huai Shi subconsciously threw himself on the Pure Gold and glared at Crow, "Come at me if you have any problems, don't hurt my money! “
How did this woman know that I was back!
And she had so accurately found where I was hiding the money!
"Young man, women are very sensitive about their private stash of money. “
Crow whistled happily, "It's just like the hair on a man's shoulder, the red mark on his neck, and the perfume on his body. Just by smelling it, you can smell the scent of money … So, let me touch it. It's not like I'll lose money by touching it …"
"I don't know if it'll be less if others touch it, but after you touch it, it'll be at least half of it!"
Huai Shi widened his eyes, "I worked hard to earn this money!"
"Can you earn money by cheating others?"
"I'm doing justice for the heavens!"
"Two hundred million USD is nothing. You can't even buy a new fighter jet, and you can only buy a castrated version …"
Crow looked at his idiot sympathetically, shook his head, and sighed, "If you really want to talk about expensive, Pure Gold is the cheapest here … Do you see that little box you threw to the side?
It's full of Origin Substance fragments, crystals formed by forcibly compressing them through the depths of Hell. They're lighter than plastic and almost have no mass, but the market price is more than fifteen times that of ordinary Origin Substance crystals. According to a preliminary estimate … it's around ninety million USD. "
Huai Shi was dumbstruck, "That's amazing!"
"Also, Ding Nanke's four folding knives have the Clover Workshop logo on them. Four in a set, each with different effects. The whole set can be rated as an S-rank border relic. "
Crow assessed, "It doesn't suit you, and you don't lack these weapons. If you choose to resell it, the auction price will be around eighty to one hundred and twenty million."
Huai Shi sucked in a breath of cold air.
He didn't feel that this price was outrageous.
After all, once something was stained with an Ascendant or a border relic, then there was only one word to describe it: expensive. It was like how the price of ordinary tool pliers would generally double when they became model-specific pliers.
Most Ascendants didn't lack money, but they also lacked money more than everyone else.
Originally, the unlucky Naga that Huai Shi had hacked to death by Qi Wen's side cost more than twenty million USD to buy four curved knives … Moreover, he had to rely on his membership in the Theravada Tantra to buy them.
Selling these four folding knives for this price was already a conservative estimate. If Huai Shi was willing to sell the Sword of Virtue, the price would only be even more exaggerated.
It was just that Huai Shi had never thought of doing so.
The hopes and expectations placed on them were simply too precious. It wasn't something that could be bought with money.
After doing a preliminary inventory of his haul, Huai Shi was shocked.
Four or five hundred million USD?
That was too exaggerated!
Crow shook his head, "This price is inflated. At least a third of it is tax. Otherwise, no one would smuggle."
Huai Shi didn't understand, "But how can a group of smugglers be so rich?"
"It's because you're lucky that you got a big order from them, okay?"
Crow rolled his eyes, "A group of deliverymen who are ready to run away at any time. Even if they have money, they would only deposit it in the Magic Gold Bank. Why would they change it to something so troublesome?
In other words … Well, you're swallowing all the stolen goods. "
"…" Huai Shi's expression twitched.
"It's just that, with such a large quantity of goods, I'm afraid there aren't many people who can buy it …"
Crow sighed, "And you have no experience in selling stolen goods. If you sell it rashly, you'll definitely be targeted by the large border organization that suffered a loss … Then, you'll get into trouble. I don't think I need to say more, right?"
Huai Shi rolled his eyes, "Can't I wait for the limelight to blow over and slowly sell it?"
"Do you have time for that?"
Crow reminded, "Don't forget, you have to advance within half a year. Young man, if you wait until everything calms down and you make a move, it'll be too late."
She paused for a moment, and her tone became soft and enthusiastic, "And it just so happens that there's an experienced, generous, helpful, and trustworthy friend next to you who can help you solve this small problem."
As she spoke, she blinked, leaned closer, and looked at Huai Shi.
"Guess who this good person is?"
