It took a lot of effort to bring Lil Pea over. After all, such a living little mermaid did not look like she could pass the plane security check. Initially, Hao Ren wanted to leave her at home like before and leave someone to take care of her. However, after the boring experience of being left at home, Lil Pea had learned her lesson. When she saw that everyone was planning to go on a long trip, she clung onto Hao Ren and did not let go. She clung onto him for a long time before Hao Ren reluctantly nodded and agreed to bring her out. The little mermaid was happy, but she caused a lot of trouble for the adults. In the end, Hao Ren had no choice but to put the little mermaid into the Dimensional Pocket and bring her out...
The Dimensional Pocket was theoretically not suitable for storing living things. It was an empty, dark place, silent, lightless, and weightless. It was vast and cold enough to make any living thing go crazy in it. The instructions for using the Dimensional Pocket had a special note: "Do not attempt to transport living things in the Dimensional Pocket unless you have killed your father. The Agency will not provide any follow-up psychiatric treatment." However, Hao Ren had no other strengths except for his open-mindedness. Before leaving, he went to the seafood market and bought a huge aquarium tank. He then ran back to the Petrachelys to get a small artificial gravity device. Finally, he got a set of water lights and rocks to decorate the aquarium tank. He even got an inflatable pump — the last one was purely for Lil Pea to blow bubbles. Before leaving, he also threw the MDT into the Dimensional Pocket. This way, Lil Pea did not feel bored at all. She had lights and bubbles. If she was really bored, she could even play with the merry-go-round. At least, this was how she got through the ten hours on the plane...
Hao Ren ran to the bathroom of the suite and filled the large bathtub with water before letting Lil Pea out of the Dimensional Pocket. The little mermaid had been alone in the Dimensional Pocket for a day and a night. She was already suffocating. After jumping into the bathtub, she immediately swam a few laps before looking up and spraying water on Hao Ren's face. She was protesting.
The MDT fluttered to the side of Hao Ren's head and shook off the water droplets on its body. "Your daughter will be a great person in the future. I almost went crazy because of her. Spinning like a top for a whole day..."
"In the end, you still brought the child..." Y'zaks came over to watch the fun. Seeing Lil Pea swimming in the bathtub, he felt a headache. "The problem is, we have to go out on business. Are we going to take her with us?"
"We can only take her with us." Hao Ren shrugged helplessly. "If worse comes to worst, we'll put her in the Dimensional Pocket and let her out to get some fresh air when there's no one around. Come to think of it, The Plane of Dreams is better. We can carry a kettle and pretend it's an alchemy tool. Earthlings don't know how to gossip. "
Lil Pea tilted her head and listened to the adults. When she realized that no one was paying attention to her, she snorted angrily and dived into the water. She then came out and continued to spit water on Hao Ren's face...
Becky and Nangong Wuyue wandered around the streets of Athens until eleven at night. When they came back, they were carrying a lot of strange things, ranging from local food to handicrafts. Needless to say, most of them were Becky's purchases. Moreover, the two girls did not seem tired at all. In the living room, they were excitedly discussing what they had seen and heard. Hao Ren suspected that the two had been tricked by the local unscrupulous tour guide. It was rare to see a self-guided tour group like this. How could Becky's shopping ability be so attractive to the travel agency?
Becky grabbed a string of beads and put it on Nangong Wuyue's neck. She mumbled, "Anyway, someone will reimburse you. Why do you care? I heard that the gods pay for your work. With such a powerful backer, why don't you try your best to squander? I've already planned to buy as many things as I can in the next few days and stuff them into your Dimensional Pocket. I'll sell them when I get back. That way, I'll be able to earn at least two or three hundred MP5s. "
As the first thing Hao Ren gave Becky was an MP5 from Earth, the girl was particularly impressed. She then regarded it as a currency unit that only she could understand. The conversion method was incomprehensible to outsiders.
Nangong Wuyue asked, "How are you going to sell it when you get back? You don't even have a channel. "
"Don't worry about that. I got to know a lot of people when I was recording the show. I asked for at least one or two hundred phone numbers. I also talked to them. I think they like this kind of thing. Even if they can't afford it, they will still buy a bunch of foreign goods. Then, they will take pictures and post them on Weibo. Although I don't understand the way you people think, I admire this spirit."
Everyone was shocked by the girl's economic acumen and her ability to grasp details. Of course, what was even more shocking was that she had such a thorough understanding of the people she had interacted with in such a short time. Her mercenary career was not in vain.
Anyway, listening to Becky's wishful thinking, Hao Ren was deeply impressed. He realized that there were many times when the opportunity to get rich was right in front of everyone. It was just that most people lacked the ability to grasp this opportunity. Just look at the people in the room. Which one of them thought the same as Becky?
Vivian sighed. "I really envy you. You can make money just like that. Actually, I've done international business a long time ago..."
Everyone immediately quieted down. Hao Ren was shocked by the unexpected news. "Are you kidding me? You think you can do international business? "
"No matter what, I've lived for so many years. When you humans first used sheepskin to trade for grain, I was there. Do you think I haven't tried anything?" Vivian glanced at Hao Ren. "Thousands of years ago, I realized the huge profits of international trade. I used the last bit of money I had to trade spices and lapis lazuli between Egypt and Rome, trying to change my fortune. Although there are no records in the history books, I'm definitely one of the first businessmen on Earth..."
Hao Ren listened to Vivian's other feat and was very interested. "And then?"
"Then I almost begged all the way back from Rome." Vivian sighed. "I don't know what happened. Anyway, I lost everything I did. Later, I had no capital, so I dragged a few of the younger generation of the Blood Clan to do business. In the end, they went bankrupt. I then tricked a few Egyptian priests who worshiped me to give me money. In the end, Alexander destroyed the 31st Dynasty. I struggled for one last time. In the end, Octavian resolutely killed Cleopatra and simply turned Egypt into a province of Rome. I struggled for more than 2,000 years, but I couldn't do international business. Finally, I realized that I might not be cut out for it. And after that, no one would dare to invest in me even if I wanted to. "
Hao Ren said, "... I feel a sense of surprise every time I talk to you about history. How many more epic things have you done that you haven't told us?"
Vivian thought for a moment. "Definitely a lot, but I don't know when I'll remember them. If there's a chance, I'll tell you about the Trojan War... or if there's a chance, we can go to the ancient city to have a look. Maybe we can dig out the things I lost in the past."
Hao Ren and the others were in a hotel suite somewhere in the ancient city of Athens, chatting about all sorts of interesting things about Vivian and human history. The night outside the window was getting darker. The oldest and most secretive city in human history was gradually falling silent under the night sky.
When the humans who lived in the light fell asleep, the creatures in the darkness gradually woke up.
Some fast and invisible black phantoms swept through the deep night sky, conveying some news to the ears of the residents living on the other side of the city. The oldest city of Athens hid dark secrets that ordinary people could not understand. The power of the shadows divided the city into two parts, one part could be touched, and the other part was invisible to the naked eye. As one of the world's several major "lairs", the city of Athens had been built by the Night Clan for thousands of years into a secret, strange, and elusive fortress. Even the best demon hunters could not penetrate the intricate shadow paths of the city.
In these ancient streets that should not exist in the spatial structure, a piece of news was circulating:
The world's oldest vampire, the weirdest of the weirdest, one of the weird ancestral creatures, the Countess of the Crimson Moon had arrived in the city, and the Countess seemed to be taking some action.
While Hao Ren and the rest were busy discussing whether Vivian should kick Achilles into the moat, countless "people" were discussing whether the Countess would intervene in the Day of Return.
