Chapter 1043: Anian, are you really a high school girl?
"Hey!"
Li Nian struggled to widen the gap in the vault door a little, and then happily slipped in like a mouse stealing rice.
“Wow!”
Through the heavy vault door, Lin Yu could hear Li Nian's extremely happy cheers.
Lin Yu also hurried in - and then saw the scene inside the vault.
Rows of shelves were filled with all kinds of gold. In addition to gold, many shelves were filled with a dazzling array of various styles...
Rare materials!
Colorful crystal minerals, translucent pearls and gems, spiritual flowers and plants, and mysterious animal bones and teeth...
It is like an exhibition of natural materials and treasures from the ten realms. All the precious materials from various realms are displayed here like a supermarket with special sales.
Among the ones that Lin Yu recognized, there were the Black Swamp Blood Crystal, the Hell Mountain Fire Lotus, the Mist Island Mirage Orb, the Wasteland Emerald Laurel, and so on...
even……
The discovery of these things made Lin Yu even more unable to confirm which world this ship came from!
Li Nian immediately took out a sack and started to dig into it.
"Hey, hey, get rich, get rich!"
There was a hint of silliness in Li Nian's laughter.
Lin Yu was not in a hurry to collect these materials. He could get half of them from Li Nian anyway, and Lin Yu did not have any need to make equipment now.
After the excitement, Lin Yu started to think...
"Could it be that... this ship is even more special than I thought?"
Lin Yu murmured.
Li Nian turned his head: "What's so special?"
"All the materials stored in this casino's vault don't come from the same world. Can't you see?"
Lin Yu asked back.
Li Nian nodded. "I see, but it's nothing surprising... Aside from the 'Gray Domain,' the remaining six known realms do have exchanges with each other. Although it's very troublesome and means civilians can't benefit from the exchange of supplies... But the bigwigs in each realm have ways to do it."
"For example, the Wasteland Realm's border gate deep in the Great Wilderness, and the pioneering team that the City of Night invests a huge amount of resources in every year, are all to ensure this channel for importing supplies from other worlds."
"The fallen demigod of Kirishima, who called himself the 'Lord of Kirishima,' was also very keen on selling Kirishima Aged Wine to other worlds in exchange for other materials he needed."
"Many collectors in Jingxu are proud to collect artifacts from other worlds... The [Exquisite Gloves] I often use are made in Yushan, but they were purchased from Jingxu."
As Li Nian spoke, Lin Yu shook his head.
"I understand this situation... but the 'supplies' on this ship are a bit too balanced," he said, looking around at the shelves. "The resources [items] from different worlds are almost equally distributed—this is unreasonable."
"Logically speaking, if the distinguished guests here are from the same world, they should focus on the supplies from that world."
Li Nian couldn't help but stop collecting materials, frowned and said, "You mean, the guests on this ship are all from different worlds? But... how is that possible? Although 'material exchange' can be achieved between different worlds, it is still difficult for living things to move across worlds!"
"Even if this could be a ship from the distant 'past'... in the limited records of the Ten Realms, no world has been able to consistently transport large numbers of living people to another world, let alone be so extravagant as to build a cruise ship for everyone to cross worlds and revel together."
After hearing Li Nian's words, Lin Yu pondered: "Maybe... they really are from the same world, but what if these people are all engaged in industries related to the cross-world exchange of 'materials'?"
As Lin Yu spoke, Li Nian was stunned for a moment, then realized what Lin Yu meant.
"You mean, this ship is a group building for the bigwigs from an organization like the Never-Sleeping City Pioneers?"
Lin Yu nodded: "Yes, but it is definitely not the Wasteland Realm. After all, according to the records of the City That Never Sleeps... the Wasteland Realm has never crossed the sea - the civilization of the entire City That Never Sleeps has survived and is relatively coherent."
As Lin Yu spoke, Li Nian began to think: "Hmm... that makes sense... then is it possible that the mysterious disappearance of the people on this ship is because something that does not belong to their original world has 'gone out of control'?"
"After all, if it were something from their own world, this ship full of wealthy and powerful people wouldn't have vanished without a trace of resistance."
"But if the great demon of Night Vale went to Prison Mountain, or the thousand-year-old demon of Prison Mountain went to the Pure Ruins, it would very likely cause some unexpected harm to the local tycoons."
After hearing Li Nian's analysis, Lin Yu nodded slightly: "Your statement is very reasonable and has a certain possibility..."
Li Nian interrupted him: "Wait a minute, it seems that saying there was no resistance isn't entirely correct. After all, when we were playing the slot machines just now, when the lights were flickering... I seemed to vaguely see a lot of signs of fighting in the casino."
After hearing what Li Nian said, Lin Yu also recalled it.
"That's true... this is very strange."
Recalling the fleeting traces of fighting and blood, Lin Yu felt a little strange.
The entire ghost ship, from its landing to now, seems to have many "contradictions".
but……
"Crash!"
The sound of Li Nian sweeping things rang out again, and Lin Yu also reacted.
Whatever—it’s a “bonus level” after all!
Let’s collect these “rare materials” first.
Thinking of this, Lin Yu also started to collect these things.
but……
After Lin Yu started to take action, he soon noticed that Li Nian glanced at him and began to mutter to himself.
"One, two, three, four, five..."
"What are you counting for?"
"Of course, it's to prevent you from making false reports after you go out," Li Nian said seriously, "What if you deliberately say less to trick Sister Zhu Ming? I have to be on her side!"
Lin Yu was helpless: "Do you really think we are a couple? If we are a couple, then how could I, as the person closest to her in the world, possibly cheat her?"
Li Nian shook his head. "Not really, not really. Even if we ignore the possibility that you're a selfish, emotionally deceitful scumbag, and consider you a good man...hiding private money is a common phenomenon."
"Every time I go out to fill up my gas tank, I'll charge a few more dollars, and when I go to the vegetable market where prices aren't marked, I'll round up to the nearest dollar. If I do this two or three times, I can save enough to buy a pack of cigarettes!"
Li Nian raised his finger and spoke very professionally.
