Chapter 130 Chapter 130 Spending Money Day 130
On the second and third days after arriving in Xinjiang, Liu Yue spent most of her time on the road.
After arriving in the area surrounding Kanas Lake, she switched to a more in-depth, slow-paced tour. Although her RV was too large to enter the core scenic area, she still had a car.
He Zhiyuan was still shocked when he saw her use the remote control to open the garage in the RV and an SUV appeared inside.
No - RV, garage? How did these two words come together?
In any case, he got on the off-road vehicle and caught up with Liu Yue in the morning mist of Kanas.
The morning fog will last for two hours, so Liu Yue went to Shenxian Bay first.
The terrain here is open, and the morning mist shrouds the mountains and forests. From a distance, you can see the rolling sea of clouds, and from up close, you can see the ethereal air. It has the flavor of the residence of immortals in ancient legends. The name is so appropriate.
The temperature in Kanas was quite low in the morning, so Liu Yue wore a windbreaker jacket. She thought to herself, I should have worn Han-style clothing earlier. Isn't this a perfect location for a goddess-style photo shoot?
But she had just taken off her jacket when the chilly morning breeze instantly woke her up. In this temperature, the conditions for taking photos were really not right.
Seeing her shiver, He Zhiyuan quickly asked her to put on her coat.
He discussed the itinerary and strategy with Sang Yu last night, and now he was holding Liu Yue's hand as they strolled slowly around Shenxian Bay.
Kanas entered autumn relatively early this year, and the entire scenic area is golden.
The birch trees shimmered golden in the sunrise, and the lake shimmered like flowing turquoise. The scenery was truly breathtaking, and Liu Yue preferred to experience it with her own eyes rather than photograph it.
What do you need to do when traveling? Sometimes you don’t need a tight schedule or fun activities; just relaxing is enough.
Liu Yue rode horses at Kanas Lake, took photos with lambs in Hemu Village, drank sour kumis, and experienced the scenery of a small wooden house where you can see the snow-capped mountains by opening the window.
She also rested on the RV's lift terrace and watched an open-air movie on a screen. When she turned on a switch in the RV and a hidden staircase appeared in front of He Zhiyuan, he was dumbfounded again.
Every time he thought that this RV was big enough and had all the functions, it always gave him more surprises.
How to say it... If Liu Yue took out a missile from the RV now, he wouldn't be surprised.
He Zhiyuan said this to Liu Yue as a joke, but she thought about it for a while and then told him that of course there were no missiles in the RV, otherwise it could not be driven in the country, but it was equipped with full bulletproof armor, explosion-proof tires and electromagnetic pulse protection.
Wow, this RV is enough to deal with the end of the world.
Liu Yueyao listened but shook her head. "It's not enough. Its solar roof isn't enough to power the entire vehicle. The water recycling system's rainwater collection and sewage purification functions aren't efficient enough to meet full coverage requirements. It's still a long way from self-sufficiency."
He Zhiyuan: ...
No way, is she really planning to build an RV that can survive the apocalypse?
——To be honest, the end of the world may not come, but as long as Liu Yue is willing to spend money, those manufacturers will really compete to make it for her.
"What are you thinking? Definitely not."
Liu Yue laughed at him for overthinking it. "If the apocalypse really comes, we'll definitely need to find a safe base to live in. An RV can only store so much stuff, and I don't have unlimited space, so I'll have to find a castle to store food and weapons."
She added, "My dad really enjoys researching this area. He's been looking for a new castle lately, and I really want to buy one too."
To be precise, she wanted to steal the safe house he had his eyes on.
Hehe, Mommy can even intercept her plane, so why not give her one of Daddy's castles? We're family, so when the 10 billion arrives, she won't have to look for another place to spend the money.
Liu Yue had a great time these two days. She took some pictures of the scenery and posted them on her Moments, which received a lot of positive comments.
Lin Feiran asked her what games she played, and Liu Yue said that she just sat on a chair most of the time.
She had picnics at various locations in Kanas and Hemu, feeling the wind of nature, chatting with others, watching variety shows, playing card games, and even experiencing camping.
Of course, she just set up a tent and rested there during the day, and went back to the RV to sleep at night.
Lin Feiran, a fan of special forces travel, couldn't understand why they couldn't do these things in Shenzhen's parks.
Wen Huiyi, who was in the group, really wanted to travel this way - no matter where they went or in which corner of the world, as long as they could lie down and rest, it was fine.
Besides, Liu Yue also ate a lot of Xinjiang specialties. When traveling to other provinces, lying in the hotel and ordering the best local takeout is a very happy way to travel.
The purpose of traveling is to relax and have fun, so of course you can do whatever you like and feel comfortable.
Liu Yue, who had a great time in Xinjiang, came to the Urho Ghost City on the sixth day.
The journey was long, but it didn't matter. Liu Yue definitely wouldn't be able to make it in the morning, and it was very hot at noon and in the afternoon. But she didn't expect that five o'clock was still too early.
She had looked up guides for Devil City in advance, hoping to film a wasteland movie there. But the temperature outside was over 30 degrees Celsius, and the ultraviolet rays were so strong that she didn't have the courage to go out in her clothes.
But it doesn’t matter, Liu Yue quickly changed her travel plans.
She originally wanted to take pictures first and then pick up stones, but since it was so hot outside, she adjusted the order of her actions.
She put on a full set of armored protection, got out of the RV and got on an off-road vehicle, and arrived near Lake Eric. A mudflat covered with golden jade appeared before her.
Compared to her impulsive decision in Keketuohai, this time Liu Yue came specifically to collect rocks. She brought a full set of tools and slowly made her way deeper.
He Zhiyuan also pulled her: "Don't go too far, be careful not to get lost."
This is not groundless. It is indeed easy for people to get lost in such an environment with endless space and few changing reference points around.
However, Liu Yue still had to go deeper. She was looking for fragments under the guise of picking up stones.
"A lot of people have picked up things in this area, so you have to go inside to find the good stuff."
Liu Yue made an excuse: "Ren Zhen will follow me, don't worry, I'll pick out a good stone and make a pendant for you."
Gold silk jade is not valuable, but He Zhiyuan still felt sweet when he heard this.
"Then I'll find you the best-looking one." He said seriously.
Liu Yue and he went their separate ways. She looked for stones along the way while complaining in her heart.
"Do you know how big Xinjiang is? Coming to Xinjiang to look for debris requires me to come across it myself. Luckily you happened upon this mudflat by chance. If you were at the bottom of Kanas Lake, people would think I was looking for a water monster."
System: "But this mission takes a long time. The host has been very leisurely for the past few days and has no intention of rushing."
...That's right, forget it. Just as there is nothing perfect in the world, there are no easy tasks at the Time Management Bureau. Otherwise, why would they need to find a host?
Liu Yue couldn't just stride forward like that, so she could only pick and choose along the way, and put some into the bucket when she saw something she liked.
She doesn't need to care whether it is real golden jade, what kind of stone it is, or whether it is valuable. As long as she likes it, it's enough.
This is the significance of collecting jade. If she likes it, this thing is worth a fortune.
Guided by the system's built-in map, Liu Yue walked further and further away. Before Ren Zhen could help but remind her, she finally found the location of the fragments.
Oh my god, this is not easy...
The fragment was attached to a golden stone. Liu Yue picked it up with a tool and held it in her hand to examine it carefully.
When she took off her gloves and used the palm of her hand to feel the texture of the golden jade, a faint light flashed that only she could see, and the fragment was in her hands.
System: "Congratulations, host, you have redeemed 22 points. The host currently has 65 points."
Very good, at this rate, she can get the second turntable exchange ticket after two more trips!
Liu Yue was first happy about her 10 billion, and then she found that the stone in her hand seemed quite good.
This stone must be Golden Silk Jade, and it is a beautiful golden yellow. Liu Yue wiped off the mud and stains on its surface and looked at the texture inside against the sun. It looked like golden silk threads, which is why it got its name.
She looked at the luster again. The stone felt a bit oily, and the sound when tapping it with her fingers was quite crisp. It was considered the best among golden jades.
This was an unexpected gain from searching for fragments, so Liu Yue took the stone back.
When she met He Zhiyuan, she found that he also had a good piece of stone. The stone was white with yellow, a beautiful yellow sugar color, and it was quite large, big enough to make a bracelet.
The two of them appreciated the stones in each other's hands and found a jade processing shop on the way back to Devil City.
You don't have to look for this kind of store specifically, as they are basically clustered together. They not only provide processing services, but also purchase gold silk jade in bulk, with different prices.
The first few customers who came into Liu Yue's store wanted to sell the golden jade to the boss, but unfortunately the boss's price was too low. The price by kilogram was not as much as what they could earn by picking up scraps. So these people turned around and left, preparing to take the stone back as a souvenir.
The boss saw that Liu Yue and her group also came with stones. He had a casual look at first, but when he saw the golden jade in Liu Yue's hand, his eyes lit up instantly, but only for a moment.
Anyone with eyes could see that this stone was smoother and more transparent. The boss didn't want to buy them together by weight, so he just said that he could buy the golden jade from her separately and he would pay 500 yuan.
Liu Yue laughed after hearing this. She wasn't an expert, but she wasn't stupid either. The only reason Golden Silk Jade wasn't valuable was when compared to jadeite. Furthermore, jade was graded. To buy Golden Silk Jade of this quality on the market, you'd have to pay at least an extra zero.
However, it is normal to want to find a bargain in the jade business, and the owner of another store will probably quote the same price.
"I'm not selling it." Liu Yue said bluntly, "I know this is good material, and I'm not short of money. I came here because I saw that your processing technology for the samples displayed outside is quite good. This piece of jade is a bit small, so can you help me make it into a peace locket?"
Liu Yue looked at He Zhiyuan: "Is a peace locket okay? You can hang it on the car, or use it as a bag pendant."
He Zhiyuan felt very happy. He said, "I'll go back and find a string and hang it around my neck every day."
"This is gold jade, not jadeite. Aren't you afraid your colleagues will laugh at you if you wear this?"
"What's the big deal?"
He Zhiyuan said nonchalantly, "Jade is essentially a stone, and its price is affected by market supply and demand. As for its value..."
"This is a stone you picked up with your own hands. It is a priceless treasure in my heart."
Liu Yue pushed him and scolded him for being smooth-talking.
But I have to say, this sounds really nice.
The stone that He Zhiyuan picked up was also made into a bracelet. He didn't expect Liu Yue to wear it every day. After all, it would be difficult for a jadeite worth tens of millions to stay on her hand for more than a day. As long as it had a place in her cloakroom and she would occasionally think of it, that would be enough.
Liu Yue saw that the stones she picked up were of good quality. Although they were not top-notch, the boss was willing to buy them at a relatively high price by the kilogram, and they could be sold for a few hundred yuan.
This was a very realistic price, but Liu Yue still refused.
Are you kidding? How tiring is it for her to pick up stones, and she only earns a few hundred yuan an hour? She can give it to a friend as a souvenir.
However, since I can't sell it, placing a processing order here is a good option. If I just send the stones directly, people won't know where to put them after receiving them. It's better to make them into beads, at least it can be used as jewelry.
Liu Yue did not forget the agreement with Qiao Yi and planned to pick out a good piece and send it to her separately.
He Zhiyuan was surprised at her memory—not just her memory, but how much Liu Yue cared about this matter. She was actually willing to remember it.
It seems that it is really important to create a good personality in her heart.
