Chapter 264 Am I the fifth prince? That white leaf...

The Imperial Treasure House is also called the Imperial Expo Hall by many people.

The entire building is divided into two parts, the front and the back. The front is the expo hall that can be entered by empires and tourists with valid imperial identity certificates, and the back is the famous treasure house.

Every other year, the Expo will take out a part of its collection from the treasure house for everyone to visit. It is said that in the decades since its establishment, there has been no duplication of exhibits in the Expo, which are updated every year.

The front is a viewing area that everyone can enter, and the back is the vault where various rare items are placed.

Unlike the Exhibition Hall, only a few people are eligible to enter the Imperial Treasury.

Senior officials, royal family members, military bosses, etc. As the largest businessman in the imperial capital, Ai Youqian has made considerable contributions to the economic prosperity of the entire empire, so he is naturally qualified to enter.

The permissions of those who are qualified to enter are different. Most people can only enter the first half of the first floor of the treasure house, and the stay time cannot exceed fifteen minutes.

Ai Youqian's authority has been increased one level, and he can freely visit the first floor of the entire treasure house, and his stay can be up to thirty minutes.

As for bringing appraisal experts, it is normal. Some of the collections on the first floor of the empire's treasure house are allowed to be exchanged, and occasionally some new things will be put in.

I heard that a congressman once brought his daughter in for a visit. At the latter's strong request, he exchanged it for a very beautiful piece of jewelry. It was finally identified as a piece of jewelry left before the end of the world. It was extremely valuable. It was considered a big purchase. leak.

It is precisely because of this that many people who are qualified to enter like to bring people over from time to time, and Ai Youqian is one of them.

After the guard opened the door for Ai Youqian, he stood outside the door and did not follow him in.

Unlike the Expo, which has a large number of guards, there are no guards in the treasure house.

Just like the guard at the door said, the treasure house can protect itself. Although most people don't understand why, this does not affect the fact that the treasure house has never been stolen since its establishment.

Although this was not the first time he came to the Imperial Treasure House, Ai Youqian was still shocked by the huge treasure house that was almost the size of an entire football field and had a ceiling of thirty meters.

Most of the empire’s precious resources are stored here.

The young man he brought could not hide the surprise in his eyes, his head turned around, as if he had lost sight of himself.

"Is there no monitoring equipment in the Imperial Treasury? Although there is an evil dome, can it be equipped with wired equipment?" the young man asked curiously, looking confused about how to place so many valuables in such a place. There are no cameras.

The guard at the door turned his head when he heard the sound and said with a smile: "The treasure house does not need any monitoring, because no one can steal things from here. If someone hides it privately and tries to take it out, the treasure house will do it Out of my own reaction, not even the vetoes of the space system can do it.”

This is not a secret, and the guard does not feel any psychological pressure to tell it.

As he said before, he is just a janitor.

Ai Youqian smiled and led people to the collection area where they could be redeemed.

Until he was out of sight of the guard, Ai Youqian whispered: "According to my information, the treasure house has a mechanism so that thieves will be noticed immediately when they go out. It is precisely because of this, There is no surveillance in the treasure house, because the treasure house itself monitors those who enter."

So confident?

The young man raised his eyebrows.

Of course he found Ai Youqian's Sean.

Ai Youqian was still shocked when he was approached. He originally thought that it would take some time for Sean to come to the imperial capital, but he did not expect that he would already be here.

Coupled with the infiltrator of the Earl's Villa who had previously caused a stir in high-level circles, Ai Youqian subconsciously identified that person as Sean.

Other than him, he knew very well how terrifying Sean was.

Therefore, when Sean asked Ai Youqian to take him around the empire's treasure house, the big businessman secretly complained in his heart.

This man is not an artistic young man who likes to visit exhibits. He most likely has ideas about the treasure house.

Now that he has entered the treasure house to see the opponent's performance, Ai Youqian is more and more sure of his idea.

Sean looked around with interest, and he focused on a row of displays.

"Produced by Empire Shelter 1, attached prosthetic prototype..." Sean looked at the prosthetic body that looked like spider legs and read the introduction above, "The quality is excellent, except for the drive core. All parts are complete, and the exchange requirement is 900,000 lire...I will blanch it and attach the soul bone.”

There was a look of surprise in his eyes: "What a good thing. It is rare to see a prosthetic body attached. Although the most critical driving core is not there, 900,000 lire is still cheap enough."

Although Ai Youqian is not He knew what external soul bones were, but he shook his head after hearing the words: "It's hard to say. The new models developed based on this thing are only supplied to the military. A brand new set on the black market costs close to 10 million lire. I'm willing to put it here. Selling it cheaply, I guess the missing driving core is the key, and I’m afraid it’s impossible to research it.”

Sean nodded: “So, you’re taking advantage of someone else?”

Ai Youqian agreed: "No one will buy this thing. There were people who suffered losses in the beginning, but now no one who is qualified to enter here will buy it again."

"Then buy one. " Sean pointed.

Ai Youqian paused and shook his head helplessly.

He pressed the golden button under the redemption item, and the prosthetic body slowly sank to an unknown place.

Ai Youqian explained: "The redemption items must undergo some kind of processing so that they can be taken out of the treasure house normally, and then the redemption items will appear in the big box at the door."

"What about paying? If you don't pay, can you just steal it?" Sean asked curiously.

Ai Youqian shook his head: "You can't take it away, and the most precious pieces in the collection that can be exchanged for lira are only tens of millions of lira. Those who can enter here will pay for this little money and the empire." If you fall out, you can’t get it back. As for the high-value items that can only be exchanged for items of the same level, the redeemer has to hand over his own first, so you can’t get it back.”

Sean leaned over and looked at the sunken base. He couldn't see clearly through the glass, and it was pitch black underneath.

He knocked on the glass and even tried pressing a few other buttons.

Ai Youqian watched with horror. This is the imperial treasure house after all. Although it is only the first floor, you don’t take it to heart...

After turning around for several times, Xiao En didn't find what she was looking for, but unexpectedly discovered something else.

There is a fountain at the edge of the treasure house. Water with a strong chemical smell sprays out and falls on a pile of exhibits around the fountain.

Seeing Sean stop, Ai Youqian introduced: "These are also exchangeable items. You must have heard of the Poison City not far away from the emperor, right? These are all taken from the Poison City. I guess they need some kind of Chemical spraying is required to maintain its original effect."

Shaun squatted aside and looked at it and said, "What is inside?"

The collections were sealed one by one. In the square black box, there are only some small holes at the top to facilitate the flow of chemicals.

Ai Youqian shook his head: "I don't know, but the things in Poison City are very special. They may be mechas, prosthetics, parts of some mutant species, or even living creatures. Commonly The point is that Poison City's products have long been combined with Poison City's characteristics, otherwise it may become ineffective."

"How to use it after redeeming it?" Sean asked.

Ai Youqian said: "For normal use, it also needs to be soaked in chemicals with poisonous city characteristics when placed. Chemicals are not expensive, but constant use of poisonous city products will cause irreversible damage to the body. This thing has great side effects, and You can't see what's inside, so buying it back depends on luck, and it can only be used by the family's dead soldiers, so it's not worth much, so the empire has basically stopped developing Poison City now," Sean said thoughtfully. Nodding, he still followed Ai Youqian's previous example and ordered a few boxes.

Ai Youqian didn't stop him. These 'blind boxes' are not expensive. They all cost half a million lire each. He also knows that Sean likes to do whatever he wants, so this little money is not worth it. Nothing.

It has only been half a year, and he has already earned nearly 80 million lire from Paradise City. Spending hundreds of millions to make his partners happy is a very cost-effective deal.

Sean looked relaxed and seemed to just buy a few and go back to play.

However, what no one knows is that the ones he ordered may be the most dangerous and valuable ones in this batch of blind boxes.

The Heart of Deception pays different prices for deceiving according to the level of the item. For Sean, his own ability is the best level appraiser.

He could clearly feel that the deceitful heart issued a warning when facing those blind boxes. This was a sign of higher costs after fraud.

It’s not a treasure appraiser, but it’s definitely more reliable than an appraiser. And it’s only a few dollars, so it’s a waste as if it’s the imperial princess’s introduction fee.

However, the Imperial Treasure House is indeed not very kind. Except for the few that Sean bought, the real value and the price of other items are quite different.

Passing by a tree that spits out gold, Sean bought it again.

Although according to Ai Youqian's estimate, the gold-vomiting tree costs 10 million lire, and it will take a full fifty years to repay the money, the reaction of the deceitful heart shows that the gold-producing tree is not at the highest level. Low.

Anyway, even if you can’t research it, you can still pass it on to Xiao Ci as a family heirloom.

“That’s the second floor, and there are very few people who are qualified to go up there.”

Following Ai Youqian’s direction, Sean looked over.

There is a simple spiral staircase with a red carpet on it. When you stand at the bottom, you can even see some of the second-floor exhibits through the gaps.

The reaction of the deceitful heart has become much larger.

Shawn looked surprised: "There are a lot of good things on the second floor."

"I have good eyesight, but I am not qualified to go up to the second floor." Ai Youqian shook his head.

Sean glanced at the unobstructed staircase: "What, an air wall?"

Ai Youqian said in surprise: "You know?"

"Is there really an air wall?"

Sean walked over and touched it, but came up with nothing.

“Where is the wall?” He turned his head in confusion, only to see Ai Youqian frozen in place.

"You, can you go in?" Ai Youqian said in disbelief.

"Can I go in?" Sean narrowed his eyes.

Ai Youqian walked over and stretched out his hand in front of Sean. You could clearly see that his hand stopped in mid-air and was firmly blocked by an invisible wall.

"I am not qualified to enter, because the people who can enter the second floor and above are those who have been granted qualifications by His Majesty the Emperor himself, such as marshals, justices, cardinals, etc..." Ai Youqian saw ghosts Looking at Sean the same way, "Unless..."

Sean's eyelids twitched: "Holy shit, no way?"

There was no surveillance around, but Ai You Qian still pulled Sean to the corner. He looked at Sean in disbelief: "You have royal blood..."

"Really?"

"Yes! This is the only explanation. Treasure House has never recognized anyone wrong!" Ai Youqian's eyes were full of surprise.

He suddenly remembered the news he had heard a long time ago, which was that he once invited a high-status congressman to drink.

The congressman received a sponsorship of 80 million lire that night. He drank a little too much for a while and accidentally leaked some royal secrets.

His Majesty the Emperor once had a fifth prince, but he was robbed and left the palace in his early years. His life and death are unknown. In order to save the face of the royal family, this matter was hidden from the public. Only a few high-ranking princes Talent knows the truth.

According to the time mentioned by the congressman, the fifth prince is indeed in his early twenties now...

Ai Youqian looked at Sean as if he was a ghost. Is he the fifth prince?

Not to mention Ai Youqian couldn’t believe it, Sean himself was also confused.

Seeing his appearance, Ai Youqian thought again and again and whispered everything he knew.

After a moment, Sean raised his head: "You said, I am the fifth prince?"

"This is the only explanation."

Ai Youqian lowered his voice, but the shock inside could not be concealed. At the same time, you could even hear a hint of surprise in his words.

My biggest partner actually has such an identity? !

Big money!

For this big businessman to behave like this is enough to show the weight of the identity of the fifth prince.

Sean narrowed his eyes.

Am I the fifth prince?

The first thing that came to his mind was: So if I slept with Bai Ye, wouldn’t it be...

Something was wrong.

Sean thought about everything carefully. According to Ai Youqian, the fifth prince was robbed out of the palace, so no matter what the robber wanted to do, he must have a purpose.

But Sean grew up in the slums of Paradise City, and that's the biggest problem.

Could it be that Jin Kui robbed it and threw it into the slums for him to practice before finally picking it back up? This is pure bullshit.

Sean is very sure that he is definitely not the fifth prince, because some of the links do not make sense. The most important thing is that everything Sean does in this world is designed by him - a man who is supposed to be in all kinds of situations. The intellectual boss who died in "Aftermath", a person who suffered countless plot kills, could not be the fifth prince.

Because it makes no sense to design the identity of the fifth prince for a person who is about to die in Paradise City.

It’s just...

Sean looked at Ai Youqian. The shock in the big businessman's eyes had not subsided.

After thinking for a moment, Sean did not express his views on the fifth prince, but pointed to the second floor: "I'll go up and have a look."
