Chapter 136 Chapter 136 Spending Money Day 136
Although half a month has passed, the trip to the Amazon rainforest is still worth remembering.
Liu Yue really caught a lot of piranhas. She released the smaller white-bellied and yellow-bellied piranhas, and later caught the larger and most aggressive red-bellied and black-bellied piranhas, which became her delicious lunch.
This was her first close encounter with piranhas. Their eyes and facial features were indeed a bit scary, and their pointed teeth looked sharp. With the guidance of a local, Liu Yue held a piranha and took a photo with it, while Ren Zhen remained vigilant nearby.
There are many dangerous animals in the rainforest, and she was lucky enough to see an anaconda.
Anacondas are snakes, particularly large ones. Liu Yue was actually a bit afraid of snakes, so the guide hadn't specifically taken her to look for them. But as the saying goes, "One might plant flowers with care, but they won't bloom; one might plant willows by accident, and they will grow into a forest." While others might have tried hard to find them, she stumbled upon one while just wandering around.
The guide was worried that she would scream in fear, which was a bit disrespectful of Liu Yue. She had close contact with lions and brown bears, so she wouldn't be afraid of a mere snake...even a relatively large one!
She simply prefers furry creatures and is a bit afraid of the feel of snake scales. When she actually encountered an anaconda, she was able to observe calmly, take photos, and leave without disturbing it.
However, the furries in the rainforest can sometimes be more dangerous than snakes.
When Liu Yue encountered a sloth, she happily took a photo with one. She even held one from a family. Russians even keep brown bears, so why would Amazon natives keep sloths? It's perfectly normal.
However, when encountering an otter (tǎ), the guide warned Liu Yue not to get close.
The otters in the Amazon rainforest are not cute little cuties. The real name of this otter is giant otter, which can be 1.8 meters tall when standing.
Their claws and teeth are very sharp, they swim very fast, can fight and run, and are social creatures. Jaguars will retreat when they encounter a group of otters.
On the contrary, crocodiles, which many people think are very ferocious, are actually less dangerous in the rainforest.
The name caiman sounds very domineering, but in fact it will be preyed upon by otters, anacondas, and jaguars. When encountering a smaller crocodile, the guide will pick it up and let Liu Yue take a photo with it.
She also uploaded this photo to the Internet. Netizens who are familiar with animals were indifferent to the first photo, thinking it was just a caiman. But when they looked at the second one... Oh my God, it was a jaguar!
The photo of Liu Yue and the jaguar is certainly not so close. In fact, they are quite far apart, but the photographer is good at finding the right angle and blurred the actual distance between the two subjects in the finished photo.
As expected, we still have to find professionals. They are expensive for a reason. She will bring this team with her when she goes out to play in the future.
Liu Yue witnessed a jaguar dive into the water, snatch up a caiman, and then drag it back to shore for a feast. The entire process happened so quickly, and thankfully the camera was much quicker than her reaction time, so her documentary didn't miss this precious moment.
When she was watching the full version of the documentary in the cinema, she couldn't help but pull back the progress bar and watch the exciting hunting process again.
The full version also includes the entire process of her interaction with the pink dolphin. The actual color of the dolphin is not as pink as she imagined, but it still looks very cute. Dolphins are very smart and their brain capacity is larger than that of humans.
While watching the documentary, Liu Yue continued to read the comments and private messages.
Well...someone asked her where those animal-shaped cameras were customized, how they achieved the remote control function, and whether she could promote it through a channel.
This kind of camera is really enviable. In the past, people only saw it in professional documentaries. I didn’t expect that Liu Yue could use it herself.
No - this seems like a professional documentary, which makes sense.
It has a more intuitive name, "Animal Spy". As the name suggests, it is to disguise the camera as an animal and blend into the animal group to shoot higher-definition and more realistic content.
Liu Yue played with this in the rainforest. Each camera has built-in AI, which can not only store and memorize images, but also transmit them back in real time. She can also remotely control their movements on the boat.
When going to Monkey Island to see the monkeys, Liu Yue sent out several "monkeys", two of which were beaten by other monkeys. It seems that there is bullying within the monkey group.
After watching the documentary, Liu Yue lay down on the bed.
She went out a lot in October, so it was time to stay home and relax in November. She had a feeling there wouldn't be any shard-finding missions this month.
System: "How does the host know?"
"I have a feeling." Liu Yue yawned. "I've searched for the fragments so many times and even picked up several myself. Isn't it normal to have a premonition?"
Moreover, she had a vague intuition that the next time the fragments might appear somewhere very far away from her, and in the south, maybe really in Antarctica.
It's really not easy. She, who has had no concept of east, south, west and north since childhood, can now sense the "south".
It’s okay to go to Antarctica in December. Even if there are no fragments, she still wants to go.
The African grasslands, the Amazon rainforest, the glaciers of the polar regions... these places that sound far away and unlikely to reach have all had her footprints.
Liu Yue turned over and checked her spending habits over the past two months.
In September and October, she slacked off, spending small amounts of money carelessly and buying gold. In September, she spent 32.88 million yuan and received a cashback of 14.712 million yuan. In October, she spent 132.70 million yuan and received a cashback of 85.243 million yuan.
Among them, she won 100 million in the rainforest, and won 10 million six times in two months. Including the previous ones...how much gold has she bought?
There is so much gold that it is a bit difficult to calculate it. It seems to be about 200 million. If it is not enough, she can make up some from her own money.
She has already stockpiled over 200 kilograms of gold, and it's time to start making cat sculptures.
To make a sculpture, you not only have to provide the raw materials, but you also have to pay for the labor. If you want to make a cat that looks lifelike, it will probably cost hundreds of millions.
Not hundreds, not thousands, but millions or tens of millions.
For Liu Yue, it is definitely not a big problem, and the loss in the process can be made into small ornaments. After all, gold has good ductility.
Her biggest concern now was choosing a pose for the large sculpture. Liu Yue wanted it to be something that not only she liked but also Lucas.
For this, she even made a lot of models using a 3D printer.
Actually, this was something Liu Yue had been recommended when she was interacting with people in the comments section. She quickly got bored with other things, or lost interest before even receiving them, but this 3D printer was the only one she was getting more and more addicted to.
This thing is perfect for playing at home, especially if she has enough money to buy several shelves of supplies, and she also knows programming and modeling.
——It's true that she doesn't know how to do it herself, but wouldn't the result be the same if she hired a professional? She just needs to have the idea.
The many models on the website and community are enough for her to have fun, and personalized customization is even more exciting, as she can do whatever she wants.
The front and side views of the sculptures are not important, the main focus is on the movements. Some are standing upright on four legs, some are sitting quietly, some are looking around, some are licking their fur with their claws, and some are jumping up to "hunt"...
In a short period of time, she collected a large number of "figures" of cats in various actions, and then placed them all in front of Lucas, hoping that he could choose one from them.
Lucas probably didn't understand what she meant. After all, asking a cat to choose a sculpture action for it was really asking too much. The kitten didn't even understand what sculpture meant.
It pushed all the sculptures away and rubbed Liu Yue's palm with its face.
Liu Yue sighed: "Okay, let's go out and play."
This sentence successfully triggered the keyword, and Lucas instantly became excited. Without Liu Yue saying anything, he rushed to the cat room and ran towards Liu Yue, holding his favorite leash in his mouth.
This action gave Liu Yue an inspiration - let’s make this!
Lucas loves sports so much, so the giant golden sculpture of him had to be dynamic. Liu Yue thinks the Bengal cat is most charming when it runs and jumps.
She used to call him "little leopard", but she stopped calling him that later. A cat is a cat, and a leopard is a leopard. Lucas is not a substitute for a leopard, but a cat she loved at first sight.
"Cheetahs are just so-so." Liu Yue kneaded Lucas's little face and said, "You're still the best!"
A cheetah in faraway Russia might sneeze, but that doesn't matter.
Lucas nodded proudly, and Liu Yue took him out for a walk, searching for reference pictures and three-dimensional models of various cat actions on her phone.
Although the large sculpture's movement was fixed, the gold that was cut during the production process could be made into other things. She was going to open a special exhibition area for Lucas in the museum!
By the way, it can be made not only into ornaments, but also into jewelry to be worn on the body, as well as various household items...
Liu Yue's imagination was ignited. Aren't the game coins at home custom-made? She could make some gold versions. And now bowls, chopsticks, and spoons are all co-branded with anime IPs, so she wanted to make ocelot-themed gold bowls, chopsticks, and spoons...
There are indeed many uses for hoarding gold. Liu Yue began to worry whether the gold she had hoarded before was enough.
It’s less than 200 million... Otherwise, should she buy some more?
