Li Du didn’t attend the rest of the auction. There was nothing valuable left behind in the units being auctioned off. If he attended, it would just be a waste of his time.

The other treasure hunters, however, didn’t know this. They were in a dilemma. A part of them wanted to watch as they cleared up the unit, while the other wanted to return to attend the auction.

Li Du couldn’t understand their thinking, and said, ”What’s the point of standing around here for? Why not go back to the auction and make some money?”

”They need motivation,” Hans said, his eyebrow twitching. ”Motivation for continuing in this business.”

”What do you mean?” Li Du asked, clueless.

Hans explained, ”They know that even if they attend the auction, they probably wouldn’t make much money out of it. Might as well stay and see how we’re about to make tons of money—use us as a motivator to keep going. Or, they could imagine being us.”

Li Du understood—to some extent—why they were here: to satisfy themselves. ”But I still don’t get it. What’s the use in staying here to watch?”

Hans shut the door of the truck and said, ”You don’t understand, buddy. You’re a natural in this business. It’s almost as if you have God’s blessing. We’re not. Most of us aren’t.

”You’ve never experienced it before,” he said, shaking his head. ”The feeling of attending five or six consecutive auctions, and only breaking even, or even going into the red. It’s miserable.

”That feeling makes you want to leave this business, but you know you can’t because you want to persevere down this road. So what do you do?

”You watch others strike rich to motivate yourself. As long as you persevere, eventually, you’ll be like them and strike rich.”

”You have a deep understanding of this,” Li Du said.

Hans shrugged. ”If I tell you more about the past screw-ups I had, you’ll discover that I have an even deeper level of understanding than you realize. Let’s go!”

They found a new motel to stay in. Beside it was an exciting-looking restaurant, as well as Griffith Park.

Griffith Park was one of America’s largest city parks. It was five times larger than New York’s famous Central Park. There were outdoor theaters, a zoo, an observatory, a museum, and a children’s playground.

”What are we here for?” Li Du laughed. ”We’re not on vacation.”

Hans asked him to wait for a bit. He went to the ticketing booth and came back with a postcard. He displayed it to Li Du. ”Ta-da, a mysterious card, right in front of your eyes.”

The postcard, which was a 3D pop-out card, was extremely beautiful. When it opened, a wonderful park emerged.

”It really is pretty,” Li Du exclaimed.

”Of course,” Hans said. ”A souvenir from Griffith Park. You can’t get it from anywhere else. It’s a perfect gift.”

”Thanks, brother.” Li Du went up to give him a bear hug.

”Let’s hope Sophie will be as touched when she receives it,” Hans laughed. ”Remember, if she jumps into your arms, then quickly confess.”

”Sure, I will,” Li Du said.

Since they were already here, they naturally wouldn’t miss out on the chance to tour.

The park was huge. There was no way they could tour the whole thing in one go. Hans led them to a strolling path.

”This path is very rugged, isn’t it amazing? If any of you liked the original Spiderman movies, then you can follow it. It will eventually lead to one of the caves where they shot one of the scenes.”

Hans was introducing to them to the park like a tour guide.
