Do you have many of these things here?

“There are plenty. This used to be a wealthy area, and many houses have them! What do you need these things for? You can’t eat them or exchange them for anything.”

"Ah, I'm useful!"

"Since you need it, I'll take you to look for it. I think there might be some in other houses."

"Ah, thank you!"

"You're welcome. Since you gave me so much food, consider this my way of repaying you! Wait for me a moment, I'll move the food to my room and then take you there to find it!"

"Okay, no rush, take your time moving it!"

Hearing Guan Xiaoyue's words, Wang Bin became even more excited.

After a long while, Guan Xiaoyue finally came out of the room, waved to Wang Bin, and then went out.

As soon as Wang Bin saw Guan Xiaoyue come out, he immediately ran up to her with the backpack he had vacated.

"Be careful, stay close to me and don't wander off. There are traps I've set up around here!"

"Ah, okay!"

Upon hearing Guan Xiaoyue's words, Wang Bin glanced around nervously and quickly followed.

Soon Guan Xiaoyue led Wang Bin to a nearby house and went straight to the second floor to a large bedroom.

"It seems there are some in this room as well."

Upon hearing this, Wang Bin immediately rushed inside and ransacked the place. He found more than ten pieces of valuable jewelry, including a gemstone necklace worth millions.

"Are you sure you don't want one?" Wang Bin asked tentatively, looking at the precious jewelry.

"No, these things are useless to me! If you want them, I'll take you to the other houses to take a look. It seems there's a large safe in one of the rooms, but I tried to open it several times and couldn't. It must contain these things, so I didn't bother opening it!"

"Ah, good!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Bin was so excited that he didn't know what to say. A rich man's safe must contain a lot of valuable things.

Soon, led by Guan Xiaoyue, the two arrived at the house that Guan Xiaoyue had mentioned.

Inside the cabinet, Wang Bin found a lot of jewelry, including several gold watches.

Wang Bin, who had never worn a gold watch before, immediately took out the largest one and tried it on, instantly feeling like a nouveau riche.

"The safe is here."

"Ah, good!"

Wang Bin grabbed all the jewelry from the drawer and stuffed it into his backpack, then excitedly ran to the safe Guan Xiaoyue had mentioned.

This is a one-meter-tall safe, with an electronic combination lock.

Wang Bin tried it and found that the combination lock still worked, and there was no fingerprint. He was immediately excited.

Generally, such valuable safes are connected to an alarm system, which would trigger an alarm or automatically call the police station if an error was entered. However, so many years have passed, the power has been cut off, and there are no police anymore, so he can boldly try it slowly.

However, he didn't know the password. Judging from the length, it was a six-digit password, so he had to use the most old-fashioned method: first, he entered six 0s, and then he entered 000001. He had plenty of time now and would eventually unlock it.

Guan Xiaoyue was getting a little impatient as she watched Wang Bin try for more than ten minutes without being able to open the combination lock. She just couldn't understand what the use of these things that couldn't be eaten or exchanged for food with others was.

"You try first, I'll go look in the other houses!"

"Uh-huh!"

Wang Bin tried with focused concentration, showing no impatience at all because he couldn't open it temporarily.

Seeing that Wang Bin didn't even turn his head, Guan Xiaoyue shook her head helplessly and went to search the other houses.

Ten minutes later, the safe was opened with a click.

Upon hearing the click, Wang Bin's heart nearly leaped out of his chest with excitement. With trembling hands, he opened the safe and was almost made to shout out in excitement.

The top shelf of the safe was piled with brand-new banknotes, but they didn't seem to be from his world, so he didn't take them as they wouldn't be of any use. The second shelf contained some documents, which he glanced at and thought appeared to be land deeds, but they were of no use to him. The third shelf held a glittering necklace covered with hundreds of diamonds of various sizes.

Wang Bin excitedly took out the jewelry set and examined it carefully. Even though he was not an expert, he knew that it was probably worth hundreds of millions of RMB.

Wang Bin swallowed hard, carefully placing the priceless necklace into the jewelry box before gently putting it into his bag.

The bottom layer of the safe contained a dozen gold bars and dozens of gemstones of various colors, each slightly larger than a thumb. Now, the gold bars were nothing to him. Trembling, he took out the gemstones one by one and examined them; almost every single one was a top-quality gemstone.

He knew that if he sold these things in modern society, he could definitely become a rich man.

Finally, Wang Bin carefully placed the gems into the box. To avoid damaging the necklace and gems, he tidied up his backpack, first putting the gold bars and watch at the bottom, and then putting the necklace and gems inside.

After doing all this, Wang Bin walked around the house again. Finding nothing of value, he came out of the house. Just then, Guan Xiaoyue returned, carrying a plastic bag.

"Here you go, these are all we have around here!"

After saying that, Guan Xiaoyue threw the plastic bag full of various precious jewelry over to Wang Bin. He was startled. If he hadn't caught it and it had hit the ground and broken the jewelry inside, he would have been at a huge loss.

Guan Xiaoyue found it quite amusing to see Wang Bin nervously catching the bag.

These things used to be very valuable, but now they are almost worthless in this small town. Wearing them would only be a burden. I wonder what Wang Bin is collecting these things for!

"The safe was opened?"

"Um!"

What's inside?

"There are only a few hundred thousand yuan in banknotes, some jewelry, and a dozen gold bars. There's a very valuable and beautiful necklace among them. Are you sure you don't want it?"

"I'm not interested, let's go back!"

"Ah, okay!"

Seeing that Guan Xiaoyue was genuinely uninterested in these things, Wang Bin felt relieved. To be honest, if Guan Xiaoyue had taken a liking to the most precious necklace, he really wouldn't have been willing to give it to her.

Soon the two returned to their old hideout. Guan Xiaoyue sat on the sofa, tore open a bag of QQ candy, and ate it with relish.

Wang Bin, on the other hand, began to admire the gemstones, examining each one carefully. He discovered that these gemstones were extremely pure, without any impurities. In terms of purity, these were definitely among the best.

What do you need these things for?

"Exchange money!"

"Pshaw, what does money matter!"

"Money is a wonderful thing; it can buy you everything you want!"

"Money is worthless here; it can't buy anything!"

"It's useless to you, but I can make it useful. The QQ candy you're eating and the cola in your hand were bought with money!"

"real?"

"Of course it's true?"

"If I help you collect these things, can you give me food in return?"
