The moment the lid was briefly opened, Anna and Lu Li saw the shillings stacked in the small treasure box.
There were four stacks of Macdonald II coins with a denomination of 100 shillings, almost filling the space of the small treasure box. The height of the small treasure box was about the height of a palm.
If you get this little treasure box, the wall that can be used in the shelter is not just 10 centimeters thick - even 1 meter thick can be used.
Compared to Lu Li's calmness, Anna's emotion was more obvious, which drove Hades to count the money faster. He didn't even finish counting the seventh time before he put the fifteen hundred shillings on the counter, turning his head and not wanting to look at it.
.
Lu Li picked up the money on the counter without counting it again.
Hearing the sound of the money disappearing into his pocket, Hades twitched in his heart, couldn't help but look at it, and prayed: "Promise me to take good care of them, don't let them get moldy, and don't touch them too often..."
Under the illumination of the oil lamp, Hades's furrowed face looked like that of a teenager.
"I will."
Lu Li said.
With his goal accomplished, Lu Li no longer had the need to stay here, and staying here might further irritate Hades.
Ding bell——ding bell——
As the wind chimes swayed, Lu Li's figure was swallowed up by the closed door.
The tavern returned to the dim light of the oil lamp.
Hades never relaxed. He looked around nervously and took out a dark branch covered with bite marks from under the counter.
The inspiration spread outwards, and the malice that filled the tavern hall gradually emerged, but there was no cold aura that was close to the wraith.
They have completely left.
Hades let go of the branch, breathed a sigh of relief, and put the few remaining shillings back into the small treasure chest with blood dripping from his heart.
If he had known earlier that that guy would grow rapidly in just two months, he would have asked for less money. Now, fortunately, the psychic gun that originally cost six times the premium now only earns one-third, which is equivalent to a serious loss.
!
Heartbroken, Hades suddenly froze.
He recalled the scene of Lu Li's first visit. Lu Li showed no emotion about his asking price and bought the psychic gun at an insignificant price.
A cold wave rose up Hades' back.
Could this guy... be so generous in the beginning just intend to come back later!?
Thinking of this, Hades began to feel restless. The price he was asking for was not just for the psychic gun and bullets. If Lu Li found out that the news he bought for 1,000 shillings was not worth 1,000 shillings...
Although Hades believed that it was an exchange of equal value, a willing transaction between you and me.
After pacing back and forth impatiently behind the counter, Hades suddenly made up his mind.
no!
Can't stay here any longer!
…
"How many shillings are we short of?"
In the streets where people were coming and going, Anna's whispers sounded in Lu Li's ears.
"That's enough." Lu Li said.
He was even richer by 2,300 shillings.
But it was just a temporary illusion. Lu Li still had a gap of at least three cubic meters.
It was difficult for Lu Li to raise more than 20,000 shillings by accepting a commission or withdrawing his deposit from Huds Bank.
Not even completing the event.
Even if Lu Li completes a simple event with 100% completion, he can only gain 500 contribution points. Obviously, an investigator can make people knowledgeable, but they cannot make them rich.
Lu Li wants to make this money from other places, such as——
A hint of cold air penetrated his skin from beside him. Lu Li turned his head slightly and saw a figure in black uniform walking out of the crowd in front of him.
The fully opened dark eyes of the armband are disturbing.
The night watchman stared closely at Lu Li, or rather beside Lu Li, and slowly touched his waist with his palm.
Lu Li understood the purpose of his approach. He thought for a moment, took out the investigator's three-eyed black crow badge from his pocket, and pinned it on the chest of his coat.
The night watchman's steps paused slightly, and his eyes briefly paused next to the badge and Lu Li. His hand dropped, and he nodded to Lu Li, his "colleague", then turned around and blended into the crowd before disappearing in the blink of an eye.
"He just discovered me." Anna's figure said at this time.
"I know."
Lu Li thought to himself that this night watchman didn't seem to be on a mission, but more like patrolling or looking for something.
Looking for the wraith wreaking havoc in Belfast? Or a security patrol?
Either way, it's an indisputable fact that things are getting safer around you.
On the way back, he passed by a department store. Lu Li remembered what Hades had said about the real rainy season, and bought another five liters of kerosene and a box of canned fruits whose prices had increased.
After returning to the detective agency and putting them away, Lu Li went out to buy ingredients again. Anna didn't want to follow him this time. She probably had enough fun.
Lu Li came back ten minutes later. Anna took the ingredients from his hands and got into the kitchen where the sound of water boiling could be heard.
After hanging his coat on the hanger, Lu Li rolled up his sleeves and walked into the kitchen, turning on the faucet.
Next to her, Anna was cutting the washed carrots with her own hands, and her dicing movements were much more skillful than before.
The two of them were almost shoulder to shoulder, squeezed into the not-so-spacious kitchen. A vague and warm atmosphere of life filled the air. Anna's eyes curved up, and a small thought that could not be extinguished emerged in her heart, and she silently asked for help.
Lu Li posted——
Anna stood blankly, staggering upright, staring blankly at the figure who turned on the faucet and left the kitchen.
Lu Li wiped his palms dry, returned to the desk and sat down.
Winding up the alarm clock like he did every day, Lu Li leaned back in his seat and thought about the next way to make money.
It's obvious that money is hard to make, and Lu Li doesn't have much time, maybe a year, maybe half a year, maybe closer.
Completing the event is the most obvious and rewarding method, but the risk is very high. At least the Shadow Swamp and Disc Reef, which he experienced directly or indirectly, left an indelible impression on Lu Li.
Although it is largely related to Lu Li's bad luck.
So what else? From which other channels can Lu Li get a lot of money?
As soon as this thought appeared in my mind, it pointed to a charming figure: Baron Joseph.
Newspapers once calculated that all of Baron Joseph's properties and wealth totaled more than 10 million, and even a party she held at her mansion was enough for Lu Li to buy four cubic meters of deep sea stone.
Because of the lawsuit, the young baron who had visited Lu Li did not bother Lu Li again for a long time. But I thought that as the lawsuit came to an end, she would continue the unfinished business.
If she is still interested in Lu Li.
With his hands crossed and resting on his chin, Lu Li thought about how to get some money from Baron Joseph.
After putting the meat in the pot and closing the lid, Anna walked out of the kitchen: "What are you thinking about?"
Lu Li replied: "I want a woman."
"???"
Lu Li briefly told Anna what he was thinking about, and the latter raised her mouth and shouted as if she was angry: "Actually, my family has a buried treasure!"
Feeling Lu Li's calm gaze, Anna discarded the fact that the story about the treasure was a story her mother told her when she was a child, and said loudly.
"I dare not say that the things inside are very valuable...but they will be!"
