Chapter 70 Toy or Sculpture (2/2)
He had an idea. He sent the bug into one of the triceratops toys. The vision of the little bug remained dark. The empty space that was supposed to be in inflatable toys was missing.
Li Du understood after seeing this. These were not the kind of inflatable toys that he thought they were. These were sculptures; the sculptor had some bad taste and made them so that they looked like inflatable toys.
Second-hand inflatable toys were worthless, but these stone sculptures that looked like toys would be valuable, especially more because these sculptures were clearly new and not second-hand.
He controlled the bug to search more thoroughly of the storage unit and found a total of 55 of the sculptures.
All the stone sculptures were colorful, and they were made in all shapes and sizes. There were all kinds of dinosaurs, birds, and animals. The skills used to make them were incredible. From their appearance, they looked nothing like sculptures; instead, they were identical to inflatable toys.
The second, third, and fourth storage unit were all common family storage units, with nothing valuable to bid for.
The fifth was also a family-sized unit, with an old TV, an old refrigerator, and other similar appliances. Li Du was about to leave in disappointment until he saw some children toys in a box.
The owner of this storage unit was probably wealthy to some extent. The toys kept in the box were mostly new and unopened. One of the boxes was full of Barbie Dolls. From the looks of it, there were about twenty of them, with most of them unopened and kept in their original packaging.
He remembered the kids back at Mother Mesa's welfare home. He had promised the children that he would bring them back some Barbie Dolls back. He was thinking of buying some, but with the dolls in those boxes, he might as well bid for the unit and bring them back as a gift.
With the fifth storage unit thoroughly searched, Li Du had finished his task. Now they just had to wait and attend the auction tomorrow.
Hans led the way. They drove to a hostel that was by the road that was called Grant Family Hostel. There were kitchens, washing machines, microwaves and all sorts of household appliances. The place had a strong family atmosphere.
The group chose three bedrooms and a living room. The price was 220 dollars. Li Du said, ”This place is quite expensive.”
”Of course, this isn't Phoenix. There aren't any good hotels here. If we were to stay at some normal hotel, there would be issues with our meals.”
Li Du raised his brows. ”Sh*t, what do you mean?”
Hans pointed to the kitchen and said, ”My point is, you can showcase your cooking skills all you want here. Wouldn't that be great?”
”Great your *ss. Making me cook? Dream on,” Li Du laughed, and then carried Ah Meow into the first room.
It turned out that this room was a secondary bedroom. There was not much space. He then looked for the master bedroom and gave Clyne the secondary bedroom.
Hans said unhappily, ”Hey, why am I in the smallest room? D*mn it—I'm the one who found and paid for this hostel.”
”Because I am responsible for the next three meals, so I would like to have a more comfortable stay. Clyne is our driver; he had a rough time on the road, so he should have a good sleep.”
Hearing this, Hans said helplessly, ”Sh*t!”
Grant Family Hostel allowed their guests to make their own meals. Its location was good as well. Nearby was a Carrefour supermarket, and across the street was a Greyhound bus stop that provided free tours around the town.
Whether it was grocery shopping or going out, it was very convenient.
