388: Actually, I'm not that kind of person.
Seeing Roy's surprised reaction, Liu Yan smiled faintly, not feeling very surprised.
Because a few days ago, when he had seen some of the firearms, his reaction was nearly identical to Roy's.
"First, put these away, and then let's go into the city center to grab a bite to eat."
"I'm not familiar with this area. You should know where we can sell these things, right?"
"We'll sell a portion of them later."
It wasn't until Liu Yan spoke that Roy finally snapped out of his shock.
"Okay, okay. There's a specialized firearms market. We can go there and find merchants for recycling."
"However, if we want to cash out, gold bars would be faster."
Roy reluctantly shifted his gaze away from the firearms, helmets, and armor.
Afterward, he was drawn to the glittering gold bars for a moment.
*Buzz—*
Even after Liu Yan sucked all the items into the powerful vacuum cleaner, Roy still wore an expression of longing.
"The gold bars are useful, so we can't sell them, but I do still have quite a few gold coins."
"But gold appreciates in value, and I don't need this many firearms myself, so let's sell the guns first."
"Let's go fill our stomachs in a bit. Starting tomorrow, let's try to sell all these firearms."
"The money we sell them for, we'll split fifty-fifty."
After hearing Liu Yan finish, Roy nodded.
"Alright, I know the way to the city center. Just follow me."
When he had taken two steps, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.
Roy's shoulders were visibly trembling.
"What did you... just say?"
"The money we sell them for..."
"Fifty-fifty." Liu Yan spoke up first.
Roy's head turned back stiffly, like a rusted machine.
Looking at Liu Yan's casual expression, he couldn't believe what he had just heard.
Just those pieces of equipment, even if merchants bought them back cheaply, they could sell for hundreds of millions of haf coins with their eyes closed!
Half each?!
How many years of exhausting work at GTI would this damn amount cover?
Decades!!
Roy quickly shook his head, trying to calm himself down.
"You don't need to give me that much. You're not to blame for me being expelled from GTI. If you really feel bad, a few million would be enough."
Liu Yan smiled and shook his head.
"That has nothing to do with it."
"I'm hiring you. You find a stall and help me sell them. We split the money fifty-fifty."
"No need for excuses. Hurry up and lead the way to eat. I'm hungry too."
For Roy, the sheer quantity of these firearms and equipment was certainly exaggerated.
But for Liu Yan, this was just the tip of the iceberg.
The equipment just released was only the contents of one vacuum cleaner.
As for how many more vacuum cleaners like that he had, Liu Yan himself hadn't counted them carefully.
Faced with Liu Yan's non-negotiable tone, Roy choked back the words he wanted to use to refuse.
If it were a few million, he might refuse.
But this was damn hundreds of millions!
Even so, Roy was still hesitant to accept it.
It was like a poor person winning the lottery—the first thought must be whether he was dreaming.
The difference was, Roy knew clearly now that this was not a dream.
He watched as his hands moved back and forth uncontrollably, constantly searching his body.
It was as if he was looking for something.
Finally, Roy gritted his teeth and placed his hand on his belt.
"buddy, I really feel bad taking this for free."
"If you don't mind..."
"Starting today, I'll wear my long johns inside out!"
With that, Roy, with a solemn expression, immediately reached to pull off his belt.
By the time Liu Yan realized what Roy was about to do, it was too late.
This eye-stinging sight made Liu Yan's eyes ache slightly.
"What the hell, put your pants on!"
"Put your pants on!"
Only at this moment did Liu Yan realize how open-minded foreigners were.
Faced with Liu Yan's reprimand, Roy awkwardly pulled up his pants.
"Sorry, buddy, I'm actually not this type of person..."
"It's just that I thought you were. I really want this much money, but I feel bad about it."
"So I figured maybe I should just compromise..."
Liu Yan didn't hear a word of Roy's explanation, only covering his face and waving his hands repeatedly.
"Stop damn talking."
"Hurry up, which road leads to the city center? Let's go eat first."
Roy quickly fastened his belt and awkwardly scratched his head.
"Go this way."
Roy pointed in a direction.
Liu Yan nodded, then took another powerful vacuum cleaner out of his quantum storage.
And from it, he took out two mandel bricks with colorful ripples attached.
The moment he saw the mandel bricks, Roy's pupils couldn't help but tremble again.
"buddy!"
"Where did you get these from?! Aren't these mandel bricks?!"
Even though Liu Yan had already brought him enough shock.
But upon seeing the mandel bricks, Roy was still greatly astonished.
"I still have quite a few of these things. Why are you so surprised?"
Liu Yan frowned and looked at Roy suspiciously.
"Do you even know what this thing does?" Roy reached out and pointed at the mandel brick in Liu Yan's hand, his expression serious.
Those firearms and armor, ultimately, were only valuable because of their high price.
But the mandel brick is not something that can be measured by price alone.
In this world, the mandel brick can be said to be the industrial jewel that aggregates the crystallization of global top technology.
Before Liu Yan could speak, Roy said first:
"For this thing alone, the three major factions are fighting tooth and nail."
"Simply put, whoever gets this thing can occupy the dominant position in the world, and that's no exaggeration."
"Whether it's accessing Hafke's technological achievements or tampering with all other information and systems, including Skynet, it's all easy!"
Roy's tone was extremely agitated, while Liu Yan, by contrast, frowned, looking confused.
He had used this thing in his hand before.
It wasn't the same thing Roy was talking about at all, was it?
"You still don't understand."
"Whoever holds this thing is in danger! Throw it away quickly!"
Roy was so anxious he was practically stamping his feet.
Liu Yan glanced at the other man as if he were looking at an idiot, then pressed a finger and opened the two mandel bricks in his hand.
Instantly, the mandel bricks scattered into countless golden fragments.
And within them was a dazzling white light.
After the white light disappeared, two enhanced power propulsion devices appeared before the two men.
"Huh?"
Roy watched this scene, unable to stop himself from clutching his head.
They were clearly mandel bricks.
But was this method of use the same as what he knew?
Also, isn't this a goddamn power propulsion device?!
Mass-produced?!
Countless questions flooded Roy's mind.
Liu Yan ignored Roy's reaction, picked up one of the power propulsion devices, and tossed it over.
"Put it on. We can travel faster using this."
After his brain spun rapidly, Roy forced himself to straighten out the logic.
What Liu Yan took out was not a mandel brick.
It just looked the same, and like that USB drive, it possessed informational storage technology.
Hmm, that's it.
Logical.
After accepting this premise, Roy reluctantly picked up the power propulsion device from the ground and put it on.
"I don't know where you got this from. Even now, I feel like you're incredible."
"I've only ever seen Mighty Dragon use this thing before. I haven't tried it yet."
"I also don't know if I can use it."
"I heard Mighty Dragon say that the power propulsion device is triggered by body movements, but I just don't know..."
*Whoosh—!*
"Ah, holy crap!!!"
