Chapter 14: The Mystery

Everyone hurriedly gathered at the mouth of the well, and Li Jing said, "Sister, you tie the rope around my waist and put me down." Li Wei'er and Li Xin'er tied up Li Jing, one pulled a rope on one side, and slowly put it down, Li Jing sank near the waterline, began to scrape the moss with a dagger, carefully reached into the brick joint, dug up the brick little by little, and as the soil fell into the well water, Li Jing laboriously pulled out a brick, and then continued to pull out the brick. After pulling out five or six pieces in a row, he said, "Squire, give me the torch."

Holding the torch, the pine resin crackled, and slowly approached the hole in the wall of the well, and found that behind the bricks was an iron threshold. An iron door can be faintly seen.

Li Jing hurriedly pulled out the bricks, let the people above drop a bamboo basket, and put the bricks on the cloud, and soon a complete small door appeared in front of Li Jing, Li Jing tried to push the iron door, making a tooth-sore chirping sound, it is estimated that it has not been opened for many years, the door shaft is rusty, halfway open, a large amount of air poured in, and the flames of the torch were sucked straight in.

After a quarter of an hour, it is estimated that the air has changed almost Li Jing kicked open the iron door and walked in, with a knife only about one meter two, and soon a vaulted stone chamber appeared in front of him, judging from the distance, here is already under the stone wall next to the well, and the stone chamber is less than the left hand side There is a neat pile of gold bars. On the right-hand side were silver ingots and other iron boxes, and Li Jing pried open an iron box, which was full of jewelry.

At this time, the curtain lit up, and the customer service sister appeared, saying: "Found a large amount of gold, whether the host recharges,"

"You scan, how many are there,"

"About 1,205 tons of gold, 10 tons of silver, jewelry, porcelain, art, antiques, precious medicinal materials, bad stock prices, need to be scanned one by one for pricing. One ton of silver is about 30,000 taels in this era, a total of 300,000 taels of silver.

Li Jing felt stunned by happiness for a moment, more than a thousand tons of gold. I have money, I have money, I don't know how to spend it. With so much money, it's enough to lie down and eat every day, what else can you do?

The customer service sister didn't bother Li Jing to let go, obviously wanting him to get used to it.

After a while, Li Jing finally calmed down a lot and stopped panting rapidly.

"I have good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first." The customer service cutie said slowly.

|“ First of all, it's good, my heart is relatively large, the nerves are relatively large, and the ability to resist pressure is relatively strong. ”

"Do you want to go back to the plane you came from?"

"What, what are you talking about," Li Jing's eyes were blood-red, and he reached out to grab the beauty in the light and shadow. But how can a beautiful woman be caught by just an illusory light and shadow?

"Have you ever wondered why you were chosen to come to this plane?"

"Why, I want to know"

"Because gold, gold is a scarce existence in all different universes, so a mysterious organization created this kind of use to use creatures from different planes to collect gold by traveling through time and space in different planes, and the chosen host will also change their fate in the process and obtain unimaginable benefits."

"Why is gold a scarce resource, and why doesn't that mysterious organization collect it themselves.

"Because the element gold was formed in a very small moment in the Big Bang, only in that moment was produced, and then with the Big Bang, it was dispersed to all parts of the universe. So everywhere gold is scarce, because for a long time, it will never be produced again. If the gold of a plane is collected, there will never be any more gold in that plane, unless the universe of this plane collapses again into an infinitesimal point and the mass reaches infinity. Then wait for the next big bang. And then in the new cycle, there will be new gold. ”

"The second question is, they have such superb technology, why don't they collect gold themselves, and instead use our low-level beings to do inefficient things"

"Contrary to what you said, they use very little energy to teleport the magic jade to various planes, which is far easier than it is for them to break the time, space, dimension, and crystal barrier themselves, and it takes too much manpower, material resources and resources to sail in the infinite universe, transport supplies, and establish a site. The intelligent AI of my most advanced civilization does not know how many universes and planes there are, maybe there are infinite, so many that we can't imagine and cannot understand. I don't know how many Magic Emeralds they've teleported. I'm just the customer service staff of this magic jade. Actually, there is no difference between me and you who seem humble to them. And this magic jade ring is just a trading platform that transcends time and space. They get the gold, and each of your hosts can get what they want to change their lives. And what you get is, in their eyes, rubbish. Useless"

"What the hell is gold for, as far as I know, gold in this plane has no other great use than as currency and decoration."

"I don't know, but in any plane and space, as long as it is a scarce thing, it will generally have extremely high value, extremely special and extremely important uses, you can refer to the various scarce resources of your plane."

"Yes, that's right, like rare earths or something, tungsten ore or something, it's all very useful. Why are you telling me this now, instead of telling me the truth when I first got the Magic Jade?"

"The vast majority of hosts have worked for that mysterious organization until they die, like a donkey with a corn tether in front of them, constantly pulling a cart and running, thinking that they are making money for themselves, when in fact they never know that what they are doing is meaningless. As for you, you didn't have the opportunity to know this, because you, like those people, will never earn more than a thousand tons of gold in your lifetime. And you are indeed a lucky person to get the favor of the plane, you found 1205 tons of gold at one time, in the most important early stage, due to design problems, the magic jade has to be gradually cooled, step by step to close the high-level shelves, the contents of these shelves will be opened in the later stage, and many of the plane's hosts do not have such a long lifespan at all. And you can now make a deal before the premium shelves and hidden shelves close without cooling, so that the shelves never close. ”

"What's in the shelves, can I afford to buy it?"

"You only have enough money to buy one item."

"What goods,"

"A shuttle, a spaceship that can travel between planes and planes, it can transform into a vehicle form of any plane of existence without arousing suspicion, to help the best performing top hosts collect more gold. And you can buy synths as your henchmen to help you accomplish your goals. ”

The customer service sister said, and a cigar flying machine appeared in front of Li Jing, "The form is not important, the form and internal structure can be changed as needed." ”

"How much does this cost, is it expensive?"

"1,199 tonnes of gold can be purchased in a bare-metal version"

Li Jing silently calculated, although he found such a large sum of gold, but it was just a passing God of Wealth, and there were 6 tons of gold left in a blink of an eye. However, he really wanted to go back.

"What does this bare-metal version mean, is there any flaw"

"Yes, this bare-metal version doesn't have all the options, only the most basic transportation functions, and it can only open three planes, one of which is the era before you, and the other two are random, I don't know what era. And the shuttle needs to absorb the planet's sunlight and some mysterious energy that you don't know about to recharge. It needs to be fully charged to start, this time is hard to say, because the situation is different on each planet, but when the charge is complete, the light curtain will notify you. ”

Li Jing gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, buy the shuttle, place an order, and shoot it."

The beautiful customer service smiled like a wolf who stole a fat sheep, "Benefiting 1199 tons of gold, I also have a commission to get."

"What do you want to do with a virtual AI intelligence?"

"Of course it's useful, if there is no good incentive mechanism, how can it promote our enthusiasm for work, but I can't tell you what it is for"

At this time, a long time has passed, and everyone outside the well is anxious, Li Jing heard a faint shouting from outside, "Hurry up and place an order, I'm going out, the people outside should be in a hurry." ”

The light curtain flashed, and the gold disappeared in an instant. A three-dimensional image of a cigar-shaped object appears in my warehouse on the light curtain, but there is a progress bar underneath that indicates the start of charging.

Li Jing exited the light curtain, leaned out from the entrance of the cave, and shouted to it, "Pull me up"
