Chapter 192 The Heroic Duo (2/2)

Hans said, ”Hey, when did you get the headsets?”

Li Du smiled and replied, ”When you brought me to the flea market. I had thought they might be useful.”

”Yes, they’re really useful! You know what? You’ve changed my mindset. Who said that only humans can be treasure hunters? Animals can do it too!” Hans declared.

The house was completely furnished. The furniture looked old but expensive; it must have been there for a long time.

There were cobwebs everywhere: in the living room, kitchen, bedroom, and so on. The whole house looked hazy when the bright rays of sunshine were shining into the rooms.

Both Hans and Li Du felt chills looking through the tablet; it was like a haunted house.

Ah Meow and Crispy Noodles were not afraid at all; they ran around and explored the building.

Whenever Hans was not looking, or when Li Du had the opportunity to stand behind Hans, he would give orders to both animals.

The two animals could understand commands such as ”walk forward,” ”turn back,” ”enter,” and ”leave.”

Although the furniture and appliances in the house were intact, they had yet to find anything valuable.

Hans said, ”Look for the safe first. If there’s one, this house is considered valuable.”

Many towns in the States were far away from the city. They had fewer residents and there were no banks in the town. Almost every household had a safe to store their valuables and cash in.

There was no safe in this house, nor were there any valuables kept away in the cabinets. Li Du released the little bug and found nothing.

They recalled the animal treasure hunters, and moved on to the next house.

House number 16 had been empty for some time too. Scattered papers were everywhere: on the floor, on the tables, and even on the beds.

”This house belongs to a not so well-known painter,” Hans said, ”but he might have a collection of some famous paintings in here. As painters need to hone their painting skills, they will train by referencing a master artist.”

It seemed that the painter had been living on a shoestring budget. There wasn’t any valuable furniture or appliances. Either that, or the valuables had been taken away by the owner or family.

Li Du did not find any famous paintings either.

After Ah Meow and Crispy Noodles explored the house and found nothing valuable, he released the little bug to check hidden corners and drawers.

The little bug flew around the house from the entrance, to the bathroom, to the living room, and the bedroom.

The little bug then flew to the kitchen, and when Li Du decided to recover it, the bug suddenly sped up, and dived straight into the wall.

At first, Li Du had thought there was a hidden storage area in the wall. But the little bug continued flying and went into another room, which belonged to the neighboring unit.

In the room, there was a large cabinet placed by the wall. Inside, a big box sat inside the cabinet.

There was a gun inside the box—the little bug was attracted by this gun!

The design of the gun was old-fashioned, made entirely of wood, with a thin outer layer of silver-white metal with elaborate patterns.

Li Du thought the appearance of the gun looked familiar. Moments later, he managed to recall where he had seen it.

With a slap on his thigh, he thought, Isn’t this the gun from Terminator 2: Judgment Day?

He could remember the scene very well: Arnold Schwarzenegger had single-handedly loaded the gun whilst riding a motorcycle. That scene was awesome!

Other than the gun, this cabinet did not contain any other valuables. Li Du then saw another bigger cabinet beside it.

Li controlled the little bug to enter the cabinet. He saw a pile of boxes with a bunch of different labels: ”StarCraft,” ”Diablo,” ”Warcraft,” ”World of Warcraft,” and many others.

Li Du noticed that the games were all created by the same game maker—Blizzard Entertainment!
