Chapter 308 307. Humpty Cannon (Monthly Pass 46+)

Joining the 100,000 club not only has more information channels available, but also involves a status improvement issue.

When they returned to the steampunk hotel, when the treasure hunter chatted with them, his tone and attitude changed.

Status is a weird thing, and when it comes along, the way people treat it changes instantly.

Li Du still remembered that when he and Hans came to Phoenix, they always encountered a lot of ridicule, and there was no lack of malicious ridicule in it.

Even though they have won many times at the auction, even if they have dealt with all the opponents who are looking for trouble, the attitude of the treasure hunters is still very bad towards them.

It may be because of envy, jealousy and hatred. In short, the more they gain, the more people want to come to them, and there are even people who have just debuted who want to step on them.

But now everything has changed. He joined the 100,000 Club, and when he met treasure hunters, everyone's attitude towards them became much friendlier.

When the three of them entered the steampunk hotel, the treasure picker who was relaxing at the front desk greeted them when he saw them:

"Hi, Boss Li, Boss Fu, good afternoon, I heard that you have joined the 100,000 Club? Congratulations."

"Come on guys, come over for a drink, it's time to celebrate!"

"Let's pass on some experience, let us learn from it, how did this happen? It's really enviable!"

Li Du greeted with a smile, and then said in a low voice: "Wow, these guys are quite well-informed."

They joined the 100,000 Club for at most two hours, but during the lunch break, it seemed that all the treasure hunters knew the news.

Hans said: "We have a forum where the identity information of treasure hunters will be changed in time. Phoenix will make a special topic for us to introduce new club members."

When checking in the information, Iron Man smiled and pushed each of them a glass of cocktail, saying: "I'm really glad, guys, I'm glad I gave you the right to check in for free."

Li Du said: "This is fate."

Iron Man raised his glass and said, "Then toast to Fate, I hope I will have fate with more 100,000 Club members!"

After drinking and checking in, Li Du took Ah Miao and crispy noodles to rest, while Hans and Playboy joined the treasure hunter's party and started drinking again.

In the afternoon, Hans came over to find him, and said, "We are lucky, brother, this time we come to Phoenix to participate in an interesting auction."

"What interesting auction?" Li Du asked enthusiastically, "Anything good?"

Hans said: "I don't know if there are any good things. I haven't found any relevant information. This auction is very interesting. I will take you there to open your eyes."

"What's the point?"

"You haven't participated in the silent auction, have you?" Hans laughed.

It is true that Li Du had never participated in it, so he asked curiously, "A silent auction? What kind of auction is this?"

Hans lay lazily on the bed, and said, "Don't worry, stay in Phoenix for two days, and after two days, you can experience it yourself, so that you can experience it more deeply."

The auction was held two days later. Li Du called Godzilla and asked him to contact Da'ao. The two had to arrive at least two days later.

The next day, Li Du and Hans first went to the warehouse company to check the value of the warehouse.

The name of the warehouse company is Desert Coast Warehousing Co., Ltd. Hans said that this company is very old and has been in business for more than 80 years.

"When the company was founded, World War II hadn't even started, man, and my grandpa was just born," he said as he drove.

Li Du asked: "Then what? Will there be more good things in the veteran warehouse?"

Hans smiled and said, "That's not necessarily the case, but this warehouse company follows the old-fashioned auction rules. When the number of warehouses exceeds 20, in order to save time, it uses a silent auction."

Li Du understood, and said, "You mean, there are more than 20 warehouses waiting for the auction this time, right?"

Hans nodded heavily.

There are more warehouses, which means that there is a greater possibility of good things.

After arriving at the warehouse company, they looked at the auction notice posted on the notice board at the door, and then they realized that there were not only so many warehouses to be auctioned this time, but a very large number, a total of 28 warehouses.

Li Du understood why the warehouse company used the silent auction method. If everyone bids, it would take at least two days for the 28 warehouses to be sorted and visited.

The specific warehouse number was stated on the notice, and he released the little flying insects to do a big sweep first, wanting to see if there were any good things from the past that could attract the little flying insects.

As a result, he released a small flying insect to fly to the fifth room. Although there was nothing attracting it here, when the flying insect passed through a big box, Li Du saw a strange thing inside.

From the outside, it looks like a thick and short big iron pipe, but when you look closely, you can find that the iron pipe is very thick and surrounded by precision steel parts.

Li Du looked it over and found that the iron pipe was less than one meter long and about 20 centimeters in diameter. It looked like a gun barrel, but it didn't have the majesty of a cannon at all.

He controlled the flying insects to fly out, and there were two big wheels under the box. The diameter of the wheels was relatively large, about one and a half meters, and they were carefully wrapped with oilcloth.

In addition, there are several small boxes in the warehouse, which contain some parts such as rivets, iron chains, and large bolts. The color is the same as that of iron pipes and iron wheels, and the exterior is painted with black paint.

Under the iron pipe, there is a thick black iron plate.

Li Du estimated it, and felt that this thing was like the base of a cannon.

In this way, he was moved. Did he find a cannon?

Of course, this cannon is not a very domineering field cannon, it may be a weapon for small-scale conflicts.

But as long as it belongs to the cannon, it has value.

Not long ago when Li Du went to buy a gun, he saw a fake cannon model in the Veterans World. That thing was only used to suppress the market, but it was still worth 40,000 to 50,000 US dollars.

There was a row of letters on the steel base. Li Du studied it and thought it looked like German, but he didn't know it and couldn't search it.

After a general study of the dumpy cannon, he decided to take a picture of the warehouse, which seemed to be of some value.

Turning around in the warehouse, besides the cannon, he also found some car chassis or skeletons, but unfortunately, they were all rusty and not well protected like the cannon.

Except for this warehouse, there are more than 20 other warehouses, and there is nothing in it that particularly excites Li Du.

From his point of view, there is nothing particularly valuable in these warehouses.
