Chapter 495 Sublimation

Gold is a symbol of wealth, and 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 for it. Crazy, but to the Tana people of the past, this thing 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 come face to face with 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 earth - the simple creators of these myths. They always described the perfect world in their minds in such a straightforward way - but Hao Ren soon realized that these golds were just heavy and cheap building materials for the world of Tanagus. They are heavy, crude and difficult to react with other substances. They are useless except for their stable properties. They can only be mixed into cement and other metal building materials as auxiliary materials and used to build the cheapest parts of the city: such as paving roads and building walls, as well as manufacturing. Decorative sculptures can be seen everywhere on the streets.

Even Hao Ren himself has no need for this: many areas he is exposed to have gone beyond these worldly materials. If he thinks about it carefully, he does not seem to need these wealth. The trouble they can bring is far greater than their usefulness.

"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. If you want to get rid of half a ton of gold when you go back, you will be a fool." Question. Others, too. It’s okay to take some back as souvenirs, but don’t expect to make a fortune by carrying tons of gold bricks back home - we are not short of funds. God supports us and we can have whatever we want. Don’t take so much gold and then use it back home. Special police are called..."

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 it for money, but to use it as a casting and repair material for demon hunting props. After seeing the righteous and upright expressions of the others, Betsy could only flatten her mouth with tears in her eyes. She followed Nangong Sanba and cut a small piece of gold from the statue. After cutting it, she looked at it with tears in her eyes. Asked Hao Ren: "... Landlord, my hands are shaking and I didn't cut enough. Can I have another piece?"

Hao Ren was amused by this money-obsessed mercenary: "Okay, okay, you can cut it as you like, as long as you can handle it yourself. Anyway, I won't help you carry it this time. I will help you put it away later when you go out."

As soon as 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. 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 undisguised, she does not engage in conspiracy or conceal her desire to get rich. . Hope, let alone claiming to be a saint or 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 she paid for the meal, she has been trying to find ways to make money to pay it back.

She would kiss Gold Nugget 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. He keeps the samples in his briefcase, right?" Vivian poked Hao Ren on the arm, "Can you not worry about these details..."

"You can tell your dad 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 nodded slightly and added, "But I think it's best not to tell anyone about the situation in this world at all, not even to your father: even if he doesn't care about the gold here, there are many things around him. But not necessarily for those who don't. When news leaks out, there may be people in the castle who can't resist the temptation of gold and 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 wouldn’t 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 setting foot in a different world, and he was more nervous than the others. "Make sure your fish daughter 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 shouted loudly: "It's pointing at her! It's pointing at her!"

It seems that the little guy is in good condition.

Lily flexed her nose to detect suspicious smells 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 said in a deliberately sinister tone, "Look at this city, there is no one 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 looked her up and down professionally: "You are so damn good at warding off evil spirits. You are the most evil-proof 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, Tana people who have changed their life forms." .”

Anna said, raising her hand and pointing 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 there of the Tana people transforming themselves into... well, transformation For what you call the 'angry spirit' situation."
