After Li Du and the others arrived at the units, he realized that there was no need for the bug, because the doors were opened and free to enter However, there were security guards watching, so they were not allowed to touch the books
When he saw the scene, Hans said, ”Li, you’re right Before every auction, we should coht choice this ti inside It was not easy to profit off of items that the others could see He had lost one of the e unit, they were hit with a smell of ink, as well as the scent of paper from the books; they mixed to form a unique smell
Godzilla creased his eyebrows and started fanning his face Hans asked, ”What’s up?”
He twisted his mouth and said, ”The smell of books is bad”
Li Du took in a deep breath, and said, while shutting his eyes, ”I feel like this s tireat!”
The books in the storage unit were nearly all brand-new Some were packed in boxes, some rapped with craft paper, and others were si at all the stacks of books, Li Du asked, ”Hoill these things be auctioned?”

”Would they raise the price in the social sciences category?”
”No, but for social science books, even some newer books are considered antiques For example, like the Philadelphia Medical Encyclopedia, published twenty years ago Normally, no one would want to buy one of these, so they would have re burrow into the stack of books What he first saas Religions: The Wisdoions There were many such books, with over hundreds of them in this stack
The next stack of books was philosophy related One of them was titled, The Monk and The Philosopher, written by a French author Those also didn’t have lance at all of them, and found that most of them were of little value titles like, The Troubles of a Prisoner, and, History of Christianity, and, Liberalism and Its Enemies were in the stack
