Li Du rejected Hans's suggestion.

If he had not fallen in love with Sophie, if he had not harvested so many gemstones from the national park, he might still have been somewhat interested in such a plan.

An auction tour was very bitter and tiring work. The word ”tour” was just to make the suffering seem more pleasurable.

Treasure hunters did not participate in auction tours to have fun, they did so to earn money. They were required to travel to places far away from their homes and try their luck at finding treasures among a crowd of foreigners.

It was a very strenuous process. Firstly, due to a change in environment, there was a need to adapt to a new environment. Second, it was exhausting, both physically and mentally, to travel on the road. Last, they would encounter resistance from a lot of outlanders.

Just like how the Tucson brotherhood had taken control of Flagstaff, the treasure hunters in other states would consider the districts that they were staying in to be their own territory. How could there not be any opposition when going to other people's territory and stealing their livelihoods?

Auction tours completely relied on luck. As they would go to wherever there was an auction, finding a valuable storage unit would be very difficult without insider information and information from fellow treasure hunters.

Also, Li Du and his group had the cabin and huge property as their base camp. It was best for them to bring back the things they found, which would incur a very high travel cost due to the long distance.

If they did not bring back the things they found and proceeded to sell them at the places they found them, they would earn a lot less money, which Li Du disapproved of.

Li Du rejected the idea by shaking his head. ”Forget it, not going—it will be Christmas soon. We should quietly stay here and rest for a period of time.”

”Rest for a month?” Hans asked, his tone full of regret. ”That will waste a lot of time.”

Li Du responded, ”There has to be at least one storage auction here in the next month, right? Even if there isn't a good storage unit for auction, we can go into other industries. For example, old goods trading?”

Every day, there were old goods treasure hunters going in and out of their camping ground. Li Du also understood the old goods market well enough and felt that this profession was pretty interesting and worth a try. Previously at the old goods market, he had gotten a taste of the benefits when the little bug absorbed quite a bit of time energy.

Hans shrugged. ”You're the boss. What you say goes. Making a living from the old goods trade is not easy. You sure you want to go into a new profession?”

Li Du casually snapped his fingers. ”Relax mate, everything will be simple.”

He did not just say it for the sake of it. He really intended on going to the old goods market for a try during the period where there were no storage unit auctions.

It was early December, where the smell of winter had completely enveloped the state of Arizona.

As Arizona was a mainland state, it had a subtropical climate. During the year, if it was not arid, it was half arid.

The state had two extremely obvious characteristics. One was the dry air and the other was the clear sky. Put together, this resulted in a high temperature.

The southern region of the state was a desert where the temperature was very extreme. The lowest temperature was around negative 40 degrees while the highest temperature reached around 127 degrees. Throughout the year, the difference in the temperature was huge.

Li Du and the others stayed in the northern part of the central region of Flagstaff. As the overall climate was better, wealthy people liked to come here to buy places to stay during vacation.

However, this ”better climate” evaluation of Flagstaff applied to three seasons: spring, summer, and autumn. During these three seasons, most regions in Arizona were arid and hot. As Flagstaff was located close to the Grand Canyons and Colorado Plateau, its temperature was lower and so was more comfortable to stay in.

Despite that, the temperature in Flagstaff became cold during winter.

In the morning, Li Du woke up and put on a leather jacket. As he still felt a little chilly, he picked up Ah Meow and placed him on his lap.

Li Du first drove to Sophie's house to bring her to work before returning to the cabin.
