Chapter 337: A Little Trick

In the attic, Li Du saw more glassware. There were wooden shelves along the wall, on them many sealed glass bottles.
Other than these things, there was a pile of rose petals on the attic floor. There were two big tubs in a corner, and in the tubs were also rose petals.
These rose petals were dead—those on the floor had dried up while those in the tubs looked rotten, with their color having turned greyish-black.
The glass bottles on the shelves were filled with a sticky liquid. On one shelf was a batch of labels, with ”Damascus Rose Essential Oil” written on it.
Li Du scratched his head—what was this all about, had he entered a production workshop instead of a storage unit?
On the first level was some messily-displayed used glassware. Its identity could not be determined, and it looked worthless.
However, based on what was in the attic, these items probably belonged to a production line: the glassware in the attic was neatly arranged in order while the rest on the bottom level had been either put aside for use or left abandoned.
What was the glassware for? Li Du didn’t understand until he saw the labels, some advertising materials, and posters on the shelves. Then, he finally got it:
The glassware was used to extract the rose essential oil—the liquid in the glass bottles on the shelves was rose essential oil extract!
He gave it all a rough once-over. There was a total of 24 bottles of rose essential oil here; every bottle was very small, only containing about 200 milliliters.
At the very least, there was a total of 4,800 milliliters of rose essential oil.
However, he would not be able to deduce the real identity of the liquid unless he opened the bottles. This was just his guess after seeing the rose petals and the labels displayed on the shelves advertising rose essential oil.
He did not know much about things like rose essential oil, so he searched online for related information.
The very first search result he got indicated there was apparently a shortage of pure, good-quality rose essential oil. The price had increased to 500 US dollars for every 10 milliliters.
Looking at this information, Li Du unconsciously swallowed hard.
Five hundred US dollars for every 10 milliliters? If the liquid content in the bottles was what he guessed, that would mean that the value of the items in the attic was 240,000 US dollars!
Even if the quality of the rose essential oil was only average, then half the price would be 120,000 US dollars!
Swallowing another gulp of saliva, Li Du noted down this unit, and released the little bug again for it to look around.
There were another seven storage units left that would be auctioned off, but compared to the storage unit with the rose essential oil, the value of the other abandoned storage was insignificant.
Li Du had a look and was not interested, thus retrieved the little big and waved to Hans. ”Let’s go, we should take a look at the next storage company.”
Within a day, they had visited more than six storage companies and checked 45 storage units—Li Du was dead with exhaustion.
When they returned to their hotel in the evening, the Iron Knight appeared in their line of vision—Godzilla was here.
Not only had Godzilla arrived, the two young masters Ah Meow and Crispy Noodles were also here.
After Li Du spoke with the concierge, he pushed open the door of Godzilla’s room, and two shadows flew into his arms, one after another.
Mr. Li was extremely exhausted, and nearly fell when Ah Meow pounced on him—he had become a big ocelot at around 25 pounds. Just when he finished struggling to stand firm, Crispy Noodles also leaped over.
