Chapter 213: Unexpected Guests

He had checked out this kind of thin board online, and it was easily pliable. Patterns could be engraved on them by using a saw and a hydraulic press, and then they could be affixed to the wall as a decorative item.

In ”The Lord of the Rings,” their use was even greater—this was the material used for building the castles on set.

In the movie, the exterior walls of the many towering, majestic castles were made of polystyrene splint. Patterns were engraved onto them before they were fixed into suitable positions.

Then plaster would then be sprayed onto the surface, using a huge plaster machine. Lastly, polystyrene and paint would be brushed on to give the city walls a perfectly melancholic, ancient look.

Li Du assumed that the polystyrene splint in the storage unit had been discarded after the movie’s filming was done. He saw that on the Internet, there were people asking to buy this—many ”The Lord of the Rings” fans had wanted to buy this to decorate their homes.

The second storage unit was much smaller than the first one, but unlike what Hans had said, the small storage unit was worth a lot.

There were many books in this storage unit: thick, expensive books such as Bibles and encyclopedias. Some looked as though they were made using leather, bamboo slips, or wood, just like antique books.

Li Du knew this was not so: they were props. Most of them only had covers and were actually hollow within. They could only be used as decorative items in the movies.

Many of these books had stains or had been damaged. They probably could not be used in movies anymore, and hence had been placed in storage.

Based on appearances, the old books in the second storage unit should have been very valuable. But after the little bug had taken a look, Li Du deduced that they did not have much value.

The third storage unit was more than 300 square feet in area and was filled neatly with wooden racks. There were toy figurines on a rack, some human and animal models.

After Li Du had taken a look, he shook his head and retrieved the little bug.

He could not determine the value of this storage, but as he could see all the toy figurines from the entrance, it would be unlikely that anything expensive had been left behind.

The purpose of using the little bug was to find what valuable items were left behind and not to investigate thoroughly what was within each storage unit.

After looking into the first ten storage units, Li Du was a little exhausted.

The storage units were too large, and had too many items. He needed to search carefully, which took up a lot of time and energy.

Directing the little bug to fly into storage unit 11, he felt quite fatigued. His eyes could barely stay open and all he wanted to do was find a place where he could sleep.

Godzilla saw how he was and walked over to hand him an energy bar. ”Hey, you look very tired; maybe it’s a good idea to replenish some energy.”

Energy bars were available only at large supermarkets. Most athletes liked to eat such stuff: at professional competitions like the NBA and the NFL, the athletes would chew on such bars during their breaks to replenish their lost energy.

Li Du ate two energy bars, and felt that he was mentally alert. Through trial and error, Godzilla had given him a great idea for replenishing his energy.

The little bug was flying faster in the storage unit. This unit was messier, as there were many rare weapons such as knives, spears, swords, and halberds at its entrance.

Some of the rare weapons looked shiny, but in actual fact, they were made of wood and merely coated with a coat of shiny paint. They were not made of metal at all.

Further in were some bookshelves. On them were some decorative household items like vases, fish tanks, and bottles. There were also some boxes, which contained many such items.

Among the dozens of boxes was a long wooden box. After the little bug had flown into it, it saw a strange-looking motorcycle.

This motorcycle was very long and wide. It had unbelievably thick tires. Its handles were parallel to the seat, which meant that the rider had to practically crouch down on the bike to ride it.

There were tubes extending from both tires: the narrower tube in front was a gun’s barrel, while the one at the back was a machine gun’s barrel.

Li Du gulped in a mouthful of cold air—this was a military vehicle!
