Gold, a symbol of wealth, and for many people, even a symbol of the meaning of their lives—this gleaming precious metal is a rare treasure on most planets in the universe, and it can attract ordinary people to flock to it, and even go crazy for it , but for the Tana people in the past, this thing was just an ordinary material they used to build houses and decorate utensils, not even a high-grade material.

If a world is full of gold, is gold still valuable

Does a man need gold if he has faced a whole new realm beyond the mundane

Hao Ren was really shocked by the truth of this golden city, Alamanda, at the very beginning. A world full of gold made him even think of some mythical and legendary paradise on earth—the simple creators of these myths always It was such a straightforward way to describe the perfect world in their minds—but soon Hao Ren realized that these golds were just heavy and cheap building materials for the world of Thanagus. They are heavy, crude benzene, difficult to react with other substances, useless except stable properties, can only be mixed in cement and other metal building materials as auxiliary materials, used to build the cheapest parts of the city: such as paving and building walls, and manufacturing Decorative sculptures can be seen everywhere on the street.

Even Hao Ren didn't need it himself: many fields he was in contact with had already surpassed these worldly materials. If he thought about it carefully, he didn't seem to need these wealth, and the troubles they could bring far outweighed their usefulness.

"Gold! This is gold!" Becky jumped up and down, "Don't we have a few excavators digging 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 Becky honestly, "but don't take too much, economic officials are not fools, you'd be an idiot if you took half a ton of gold back and sold it." The problem. The same goes for other people. It’s okay to take some back as souvenirs, but don’t expect to carry a few tons of gold bricks back to make a fortune—we don’t lack funds, and God supports us. invite..."

Vivian stared at Hao Ren in a daze, before nodding her head after a while: "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 doesn't have much feeling for these golds. This bastard has a relatively weak concept of money. If it wasn't for the big bones that need to spend money to buy them, she wouldn't even pay attention to how much money she can earn a month. She just looked at Weiwei in surprise. Ann: "Bats, don't you 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 want this thing?" Vivian was very frank about the situation that she was being raised by others. Do you want to get on with business?"

Several other people also woke up at this time, and finally they were not fooled by this world full of gold. Nangong Sanba cut some gold nuggets from the statue: not to sell it for money, but to use it as spell-casting and repairing materials for monster-hunting props. Becky could only press her mouth hard after seeing the upright appearance of other people, with tears in her eyes, she followed Nangong Sanba to cut a small lump of gold from the statue, and looked at it with tears in her eyes after cutting Looking at Hao Ren: "...Landlord, my hands are shaking and I haven't cut enough, can I have another piece?"

Hao Ren was amused by this money-lovers mercenary: "All right, all right. You can cut whatever you want, as long as you can handle it yourself. Anyway, I won't carry it for you this time. I'll put it away for you when I go out."

As soon as Becky heard this, she felt like she was being pardoned, and the sword light flew and rattled and chiseled a lot of gold nuggets. Only then did he stand up and keep up with the team, turning his head and waving goodbye to his "own" golden statue as he walked, as if bidding farewell to the remains of a relative...

The greedy appearance of this money fanatic mercenary is really rare in the world, but her money fanatic is not annoying: because her greed for money is so clear and undisguised, she does not engage in conspiracy and tricks, and does not hide her desire to get rich Hope, let alone claiming to be a sage or gentleman. She likes money, but she doesn't steal or grab it. Not to mention taking advantage of others, even if they are spending dinner at Hao Ren's house, they have to settle accounts clearly. From the first day of Cengfan, I was trying to find a way to make money and pay back.

She would kiss gold bricks in front of her friends, because she didn't feel at all ashamed to do so, and she didn't feel that she should hide this hobby from her friends.

Everyone likes this money-grubbing mercenary girl very much, although she is indeed a bit too money-obsessed sometimes.

"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, "So I thought the owner of that thing was rich, Now it seems that he is probably a brick mover in this Alamanda... "

Hao Ren raised his eyebrows: "Is it necessary for a brick mover to put all the bricks in his pocket?"

"That's for selling building materials. Put the samples in the briefcase." Vivian poked Hao Ren's arm, "Can you not worry about these details..."

"After you go back, you can tell your father what happened here," Nangong Wuyue suddenly turned her head and said to Anna, "but tell him by the way, this is the witch's treasure house, and every gram of gold here is accompanied by a curse. You know me Why do you say that?"

"It's for his own good," Vivienne added with a slight nod from the side, "but I think it's best not to tell anything about the situation in this world at all, and don't tell your father: even if he doesn't care about the gold here, the gold around him But not necessarily. When the news leaks out, some people in the castle may not be able to resist the temptation of gold, and come here to dig gold through the cracks, and they will die directly in the poisonous atmosphere of Tanagus, even Worse..."

Hao Ren nodded: "After we go out, it's best to set up more seals and monitoring devices near the crack, and set up a few barriers around the stone platform to prevent anyone from approaching. Tanagus may still have lingering angry spirits. , it won’t be fun if they find a crack and come out.”

"Let's be more careful, we might encounter angry spirits," Nangong Sanba clenched his crossbow tightly. This was his first time stepping into a different world, and he was more nervous than anyone else. Point at her when something goes wrong."

Doudou immediately got half of her body out of Hao Ren's neckline and yelled loudly, "Point at her! Point at her!"

The little guy seems to be in good shape.

Lily raised her nose to detect suspicious smells in the air, but she didn't find any living creatures nearby. In a nervous state, she began to mutter: "It is said that the angry spirits come from here...they are all Tana People changed?"

"Perhaps there was a mass extinction on the planet Tanagus, and the angry spirits are the souls of the locals," Hao Ren said deliberately in a sinister tone, "Look at this city, there is no one left, what do you say? No matter how much wronged people are when they die, they must all become evil spirits."

Lily was frightened and fluffy: "You... don't use such a scary tone, please!"

Vivienne squinted at her: "I didn't see you scared when you were fighting Nuling, why did you become so cowardly when you told some ghost stories at this time?"

Lily took it for granted: "Isn't this nonsense, you don't need to use your brain when fighting, but now you have to use your brain when listening to ghost stories, of course you know how to be cowardly!"

Hao Ren was stunned by the Erha's logic and straightforward attitude, while Vivienne rolled her eyes at the latter in contempt: "You're a fool, you shouldn't be afraid of ghost stories no matter what you are afraid of."

Lily was taken aback: "Why?"

Vivian scanned her up and down professionally: "Dog blood to ward off evil spirits, you are the most evil spirit warding guy here, are you still afraid of ghosts?"

Lily actually lowered her head and thought about it: "... makes sense!"

This time even Vivian was stunned: "This guy really believes it!"

At this time, Anna suddenly interrupted their chatting: "Those evil spirits you call 'angry spirits' are not the dead souls of the Tana people, they are the Tana people themselves, Tana people who have changed their life forms .”

Anna said, pointing to another tall tower building not far away: "I think of more things... The Tana people have promoted themselves as a whole and transformed the entire race into a spirit body state. They are not after death. Transformation, but voluntary change. The tower in front is one of the towers of Ascension in Allamanda... probably the last one still standing. There must be a record of the Tana people transforming themselves into... well, into what you say The situation of 'Wrath Spirit'." (To be continued~^~)
