The pizza was delicious; the coffee was aromatic, and the scenery, magnificent.

After enjoying the breakfast, Li Du, together with Godzilla and Big Quinn, drove to their destination, the King Kong Storage Company.

It was a large storage company, with thousands of storage units which were mainly smaller-sized or mini ones. They were especially popular with tourists.

Unlike the storage company for local residents, the King Kong storage company usually offered its customers short-term contracts covering only about a month.

After all, these customers were mainly tourists and did not stay long in Las Vegas.

As long as the contract had lapsed for three days, the storage units would be considered abandoned. As the storage company could then conduct an auction, it would hold auctions many times throughout the year.

But a large-scale auction like this one was rare. The company had realized the potential profit it could make from this and so decided to hold a cash auction to earn big bucks.

The storage company was located at the edge of the city. As it was surrounded by desert, the air was dry. A wall had been built around a large cluster of huts. Each hut was close to the next like a hive. It looked as though there were thousands of huts.

With the increasing ability of the little bug, Li Du had stopped going into storage companies to check the units. He could remain outside while the little bug flew inside for a look.

But this time, he would have to conserve every ounce of his energy and go into the storage company personally.

After passing over two Ben Franklins, the security officer welcomed him to enter.

This guy was more than obliging. After receiving Li Du's money, he even gave him a bottle of cola. ”Happy touring, bro!”

Li Du smiled and said, ”Thank you, I'm just looking around. You know, we haven't got such a storage culture back in China, so I'm curious.”

”No problem, bro. But don't let the boss spot you. That a*shole ain't too fond of colored people,” the security officer said.

Li Du did not take his advice to heart, since he had no intention of visiting the owner of the storage company.

The first of the 145 storage units to be auctioned off was unit number five. It was a mini storage unit of only 20 square meters.

The little bug went in and made one round. There was nothing that attracted its attention. It had seen only children's toys, a barbecue rack, a mountain bike and so on. There was nothing of value in there, so he quickly sent the little bug to the next unit.

The viewing was carried out in a fast but orderly manner. Li Du drank his cola at a leisurely pace as he wandered between the storage units, recording information about the units on his mobile phone.

Instead of using a notebook, he was using a notebook app on his mobile phone. He had a lock screen which could only be accessed via a password. He could also set a password for the notebook app. This would ensure the information was kept secure.

There were 145 storage units but with Li Du's ability to control the little bug, it would be a piece of cake searching through the storage units.

Besides, he was only going to view the first 100 storage units. He would wait until the auction began the next day to view the other 45 units. Otherwise, he would not have enough energy.

Eighty out of the 100 units were mini storage units with a total area of twenty square meters each. The little bug only had to look once or twice to see everything within the unit. It did not take a lot of time.

Within two hours, he had finished viewing these units, so he recovered the little bug and was about to leave the storage company.
