Sheila's family ran the second largest private construction company in the US and the third largest in the world, possessing the mining rights of a large number of stone mining materials.
The extensibility of the huge industry naturally allowed the girl, who was the heir of the family and had gradually taken over the business, to understand a lot of secret information that ordinary people would not pay attention to or could not easily come into contact with.
However, even though she understood her best friend's family, Tina had a different opinion on Sheila's rebuttal. "My dear sister, even if what you said is right, just this Gold River alone is enough to make the global gold price plummet."
"That's not necessarily true, Tina." Trish, who was by the side, looked down at the shining underground Gold River and suddenly chimed in. "It's no secret that the foreign world's light alloy used in the Steel Warrior engine now contains a small amount of gold.
However, very few people knew that even though there was not much gold in the light alloy, its role was an irreplaceable adhesive precipitation. Some material scientists in the military were inspired by this and believed that the characteristic of gold as the heaviest 'inert' natural metal on Earth might be universally applicable in all 'worlds'.
Based on this, it can be inferred that gold naturally has the characteristic of a precious' general equivalent 'recognized by' intelligent creatures. 'It's useful but rare. As long as society enters the stage of producing currency, it will naturally become a' hard currency. '
For this reason, it's not only Earth that can digest gold but all 'worlds' instead. In this case, the market will be much bigger. "
"Trish, you must have heard this secret from Uncle Howick, right? He's really a well-informed person," Tina was stunned and whispered.
Zhang Lisheng, who was standing behind her, had his eyes lit up right away as he muttered to himself, "No wonder gold will always appear in ancient myths and legends. So it turns out that it's also a valuable thing in the Colossal World. In this case, I've really underestimated the gold in this river."
"I did hear this news when my dad was chatting with his friend," Upon hearing Tina's words, Trish nodded.
The instant the red-haired girl's words left her mouth, Sheila, who was squatting on the shore beside her, had already stretched her arm into the river and was struggling to scoop up a handful of river sand from the shallows. She looked down at the heavy golden sand and stood up to spread her hands out before shouting excitedly, "Tina, Trish, come and look! The sand in the river is really gold sand!
If this gold is made public, I'm afraid Shrimp B1 Island will have to change its name to New Gold Mountain Island … "
After millions of years of erosion, the slowly flowing underground river had stripped away the rough and ugly surface of the ores in the river, leaving only the gold that would not be eroded by the erosion.
The massive amount of gold mines at the bottom of the river that could be obtained easily and did not need to be mined at all made the three girls gasp in admiration for a long time. However, they were all born in wealthy families after all. After having their lunch, they put aside the gold that was not the right time to reveal itself and began to experience the tribal life of the Hellfire tribesmen in high spirits.
He drew the blueprint and asked the Tudenan craftsmen to command the Lohlos to build a unique huge bark house as his temporary residence.
He wore a custom-made leather armor and rode on the Giant Millispiders. When more than one thousand native warriors were exhausted from chasing after their prey, he used a blowpipe to shoot poisonous arrows to kill the ferocious beasts.
Then, he sat on the big ship made by the natives and drifted in the foreign world's ocean, basking in the sun and eating raw fish.
Tina, Trish, and Sheila spent two weeks of dreamy and interesting life in the Tudenan tribe. It was so much so that on the way back to the human gathering place, the three girls appeared to be a little lonely and regretful.
"Oh dear sisters, I really didn't expect those aborigines to be so smart. Not only that, they're so understanding as well. It's like they're a different race compared to the last time we drifted to the island on the Elizabeth Holiday.
One of them is a short devil from Hell.
The other one is an ugly but kind and amiable elf. Oh, I've just left and I already miss them a little.
That's right, there's also the bark house in the tribe. It's as though the air has become much fresher when we're living there. " Sheila rode on Ghostface's back and turned her head to look at the dark dense forest behind her. As though her gaze could penetrate the trees and see the magical aborigine city, she said reluctantly.
"I think so too, Sheila! And those sea fish too! They're delicious when they're sliced!" Tina nodded in agreement and stared at Zhang Lisheng with a longing gaze. "Baby, can you bring us to Tudenan again during the Christmas holiday?"
"Of course not, Tina! Tudenan is not a resort like Hawaii.
First, it's the Chinese Gate of Witchcraft's successor and now, it's the US's Darkwalker. The situation on Shrimp B1 Island is becoming more and more unpredictable now. I can't let all of you come here to take the risk again! "Zhang Lisheng refused without hesitation.
"But I feel that you're the most terrifying person on this island. Now that the island has become your home field again, with hundreds of thousands of subordinates ordering you around …" Sheila retorted with a curl of her lips. All of a sudden, a huge shadow leaped out of the forest, startling her and causing her to choke on her words.
The thing that blocked the wizard gu's way was a giant red doll that was more than three meters tall. It was swaying but was extremely agile. It was wearing a dirty and tattered tuxedo worn by a western aristocratic butler. Jumping in mid-air, it grabbed the giant branches and vines with its hands and looked at Ghostface who was standing on the invisible silk thread. Without warning, it spoke in a mechanical voice, "Do you still remember me, the powerful Darkwalker?
I've been wandering in the forest for seven days and I finally see you again! "
"I've told you before! Don't let me see you again, witch doctor!" On the wizard gu's back, Zhang Lisheng's body suddenly became thick and huge, completely blocking the front of the three girls.
At the same time, a snake shadow circled around him for a few rounds before transforming into a green wyrmdragon in the wind. It circled around his body and covered the other three sides of the girls tightly.
"Powerful Darkwalker, I've come with a kind invitation. 17 days later, on the night of the 13th of October, His Excellency Lord will hold a joyous party with the theme of 'Ancient Dark Gods' in New York.
If you're interested in participating, you just need to go to Kelvin Street in Queens and flag down any taxi before 12 o 'clock in the morning and show your invitation card.
By the way, His Lordship sincerely welcomes you. " The doll did not seem to notice that it had fallen into a crisis at all. The facial features drawn on its face were filled with smiles. Without warning, it let go of one of its hands and took out a huge lighter from its pocket to ignite its body.
In the flame and smoke, the doll turned into ashes with a lifelike smile on its face. In the end, only a shriveled, charred corpse and a pure black invitation card were left on the woodland.
"Sheila, now you know how strange and dangerous this place is, right?" Zhang Lisheng looked down at the invitation card on the muddy ground. In the end, he did not do anything and commanded the wizard gu to continue to crawl towards the human gathering place by stepping on the invisible silk thread.
When the girls saw the witch doctor, Hawk, who had escaped from the young man's hands more than ten days ago, burning himself to death after sending a message, they seemed to be a little frightened and became silent.
It was only until Zhang Lisheng brought them back to the gathering place and boarded the ferry that the ship braved the wind and waves all the way to the new New York port that Tina finally held his hand and whispered nervously, "Baby, I've thought about it. That Lord is just too evil.
He must have the evil ability of a psionic warlock to control a person's soul. Perhaps, perhaps, he has already seen our faces through that Indian's eyes … "
"Tina, Dungeons & Dragons is fictional. Even if a psionic warlock really exists, it's impossible for it to be as powerful as you said.
If we were on Earth, that Lord might be able to rent a satellite and install a remote monitor on the doll to see our faces. However, on Shrimp B1 Island, he definitely doesn't have the ability to do so. Otherwise, we'd have long been dead by now, "Zhang Lisheng comforted his girlfriend.
"Lisheng, why do you say so?" Sheila, who was by the side, also looked a little uneasy, asked.
"Because it's very easy to use sorcery to devour other people's souls, but it's very difficult to control them as you wish. As for turning other people's souls into a 'medium' to parasitize your own senses, I'm afraid only a god can do that.
The witch doctor we met in the jungle is actually equivalent to a self-driving recorder. His only function is to find us by relying on his remaining intuition and play the Lord's recording.
For this reason, you don't have to worry too much. Let's go have lunch first, and then I'll send you to the airport and accompany you until you get on the plane. Everything will be fine. " In order to make the girls feel at ease, Zhang Lisheng explained in detail according to his own understanding as he walked down the ferry.
The four of them left the new New York port and boarded a taxi. After eating burgers and fries in an American restaurant near JFK Airport, they rushed to the airport lobby.
There was only one flight left to Boston at four o 'clock in the afternoon. After buying the tickets and waiting for the flight, the three girls, who had experienced many terrible things, slowly felt better. Gradually, they began to talk and laugh again.
"Baby, since Professor Steven can't show up for the time being, are you going to continue to stay on the island this semester?"
"No, Tina. My supervisor has left a message for me, asking me to go to the university to take more basic courses in biology and strive to pass my Ph.D. defense next year. For this reason, I plan to leave half of my time in Stanford this semester."
"You'll pass your Ph.D. defense next year? Oh, what a genius!"
"Thank you for your compliment, Sheila, even though your tone is a little sarcastic …" As the four of them chatted, time continued to pass by. Unknowingly, it was time to board the plane.
