Gold is a symbol of wealth. For many people, it is even a symbol of the meaning of their lives. This shining precious metal is a rare treasure on most planets in the universe. It can attract ordinary people to flock to it and even go crazy for it.
But to the Tana people of the past, this was just an ordinary material they usually used to build houses and decorate utensils, not even a high-end material.
If a world is filled with gold, is gold still valuable?
If a man has faced a new realm beyond worldly matter, does he still need gold?
Hao Ren was really shocked by the truth of this golden city Allamanda at the first moment. A world full of gold made him even think of the paradise paradise in some myths and legends on the earth. The simple creators of these myths always
Describing the perfect world in their minds in such a straightforward way, Hao Ren soon realized that these golds were just heavy and cheap building materials for the world of Tanagus. They were heavy, crude, and difficult to react with other substances.
It is useless except for its stable properties. It can only be mixed into cement and other metal building materials and used as auxiliary materials to build the cheapest parts of the city: such as paving roads and building walls, as well as making decorative sculptures that can be seen everywhere on the streets.
Even Hao Ren himself doesn't have any use for this: many areas he is exposed to have gone beyond these worldly materials. If you think about it carefully, he doesn't seem to need these wealth. The trouble they can bring is far greater than their usefulness.
[≮, w≠ww. "Gold! This is gold!" Betsy jumped up and down, "Why don't we have a few excavators digging for him here for half a year? Are you not interested?"
"Just take some with you. You might need it when you go back." Hao Ren nodded to Betsy sincerely, "But don't take too much. Economic officials are not fools. You'd be a fool to get rid of half a ton of gold when you go back."
Question. Others are the same. You can take some back as souvenirs, but don’t expect to make a fortune by carrying tons of gold bricks back. We are not short of funds. God supports us and we can have whatever we want. Don’t bring so much gold back and call in the special police.
…”
Vivian looked at Hao Ren for a while, then nodded: "Okay, landlord, I didn't expect you to be more enlightened than many old guys. I was just thinking about how to calm you down first."
Lily didn't feel much about the gold. This idiot had a weak concept of money. If it weren't for big bones that needed money to buy, she wouldn't even pay attention to how much money she could earn in a month. She just looked at Weiwei in surprise.
An: "Bat, you don't want gold? Aren't you poor?"
"I can't keep the gold when I'm alone, and I can't spend the gold when I'm with the landlord. Why do I need this thing?" Vivian was very calm about the current situation of being raised by others, "Speaking of which, we can still
Do you want to continue doing business?"
Several other people also woke up at this time, and finally they were not blinded by this world full of gold. Nangong Sanba cut some gold nuggets from the statue: not to sell for money, but to use as a demon hunting prop
Spell casting and repair materials. After seeing the righteous and upright looks of others, Betsy could only flatten her mouth, with tears in her eyes, and followed Nangong Sanba to cut a small piece of gold from the statue. After cutting,
He looked at Hao Ren with tears in his eyes: "... Landlord, my hands are shaking and I haven't cut enough. Can I have another piece?"
Hao Ren was amused by this money-mad mercenary: "Okay, okay, you can cut it as you like. As long as you can handle it yourself, I won't help you carry it this time. I will help you put it away later when you go out."
When Betsy heard this, she felt like she was being pardoned. She chiseled down a large pile of gold nuggets with a flash of sword light, and then she stood up and followed the team. As she walked, she turned around and waved goodbye to her "own" golden statue. She looked like she was saying goodbye.
Like the remains of a loved one...
This money-obsessed mercenary is really rare in the world. But her money-obsession is not annoying: because her greed for money is so clear and uncovered, she does not engage in conspiracy, and she does not claim to others that she is
What a saint and gentleman. She likes money, but she doesn't steal or rob, and she doesn't take advantage of others. Even if she pays for a meal at Hao Ren's house, she has to settle the accounts clearly. From the first day of doing so, she has been trying to find ways to make money to pay back the debt.
She would kiss the gold brick in front of her friends because she didn't feel any shame in it at all, and she didn't think she should hide this hobby from her friends.
Everyone likes this money-grubbing mercenary girl, although sometimes she is a bit too money-obsessed.
"I suddenly understood why there was so much gold in the storage space of the first key," Vivian muttered as she walked beside Hao Ren, "It turns out that I thought the owner of that thing was very rich.
Now it seems that he is probably a bricklayer in this Alamanda..."
Hao Ren raised his eyebrows: "Is it necessary for brick movers to carry bricks in their pockets?"
"That's the one who sells building materials. The samples are in the briefcase, right?" Vivian poked Hao Ren on the arm, "Can you not worry about these details..."
"You can tell your father what happened here when you go back," Nangong Wuyue suddenly turned to Anna and said, "But by the way, tell him that this is the witch's treasure house, and every gram of gold here is accompanied by a curse. You know what I
Why do you say that?"
"This is for his own good," Vivian added with a slight nod from the side, "but I think it's best not to tell anyone about the situation in this world at all, not even to your dad: even if he doesn't care about the gold here, the people around him
But that's not necessarily the case for people who don't know. When the news leaks out, if they come here to dig for gold through the cracks, they will die directly in the toxic atmosphere of Tanagus, or even worse..."
Hao Ren nodded: "After we go out, it's best to set up more seals and monitoring devices near the cracks. In addition, set up several barriers around the stone platform to strictly prohibit anyone from approaching. I'm afraid there are still angry spirits lingering in Tanagus."
, it would not be fun if they find a crack and escape."
"Let's be more careful, we might encounter angry spirits," Nangong Sanba tightened his grip on the crossbow. This was his first time stepping into a different world, and he was more nervous than the others. "Make sure your fish girl is in normal condition.
If something goes wrong, point your finger at her."
Doudou immediately got half of her body out of Hao Ren's collar and yelled: "Pointing at her! Pointing at her!"
It seems that the little guy is in good condition.
Lily flexed her nose to distinguish the suspicious smell in the air, but she didn't find any living things nearby. In a nervous state, she began to mutter: "The angry spirits come from here... They are all towers."
Naren changed?"
"Perhaps there was a mass extinction on the planet Tanagus, and the angry spirits are the souls of the locals," Hao Ren deliberately said in a sinister tone, "Look at this city, there is not a single person left, you say so
No matter how unjust it is when many people die, they must all have turned into evil spirits."
Lily was immediately frightened and said: "You... please don't use such a scary tone, please!"
Vivian looked at her sideways: "I didn't see you scared when I was fighting the angry spirit. Why are you so timid about telling ghost stories now?"
Lily said with a matter-of-fact air: "Isn't this nonsense? When fighting, you don't need to use your brain. Now when you listen to ghost stories, you have to use your brain. Of course you will be timid!"
Hao Ren was dumbfounded by this Erha's logic and straightforward attitude, while Vivian rolled her eyes at the latter with contempt: "You're a coward. No matter how scared you are, you shouldn't be afraid of ghost stories."
Lily was stunned: "Why?"
Vivian glanced at her professionally: "You are so damn good at warding off evil spirits. You are the most evil-warming guy here and you are still afraid of ghosts?"
Lily actually lowered her head and thought for a moment: "...That makes sense!"
This time even Vivian was stunned: "This guy really believes it!"
At this time, Anna suddenly interrupted the chat between the two of them: "Those evil spirits you call 'wrathful spirits' are not the dead souls of the Tana people, they are the Tana people themselves, the Tana people who have changed their life forms.
.”
Anna said, raising her hand to point to another tall tower building not far away: "I remembered more things... The Tana people have promoted themselves as a whole, transforming the entire race into a spiritual state. They are not dead.
After transformation, but actively changing. The tower in front is one of Alamanda's promotion towers... It may be the last one still standing. There must be a record of the Tana people transforming themselves into... well, transformation
