I'm a villain, not a devil

Chapter 264 Am I the fifth prince? That white leaf...

The Imperial Treasure House is also called the Imperial Exhibition Hall by many people.

The entire building is divided into two parts, the front and back. The front is the expo hall that can be entered by empires and tourists with valid imperial identity certificates, and the back is the famous treasure house.

Every other year, the Expo will take out a part of its collection from the treasure house for everyone to visit. It is said that in the decades since its establishment, there has been no duplication of exhibits in the Expo, which are updated every year.

In the front is a viewing area that everyone can enter, and in the back is the vault where various rare items are placed.

Unlike the Exhibition Hall, only a few people are eligible to enter the Imperial Treasury.

Senior officials, royal family members, military bosses, etc. As the largest businessman in the imperial capital, Ai Youqian has made considerable contributions to the economic prosperity of the entire empire, so he is naturally qualified to enter.

The rights of those who are qualified to enter are different. Most people can only enter the first half of the first floor of the treasure house, and their stay cannot exceed fifteen minutes.

Ai Youqian's authority has been increased one level, and he can freely visit the first floor of the entire treasure house, and his stay can be up to thirty minutes.

As for bringing appraisal experts, it is normal. Some of the collections on the first floor of the empire's treasure house are allowed to be exchanged, and occasionally some new things will be put in.

I heard that a congressman once brought his daughter in for a visit. At the latter's strong request, he exchanged it for a very beautiful piece of jewelry. It was finally identified as a piece of jewelry left before the end of the world. It was extremely valuable. It was considered a big purchase. leak.

It is precisely because of this that many people who are qualified to enter like to bring people around from time to time, and Ai Youqian is one of them.

The guard opened the door for Ai Youqian and stood outside the door without following him in.

Unlike the expo, which has a large number of guards, there are no guards in the treasure house.

Just like the guard at the door said, the treasure house can protect itself. Although most people don't understand why, this does not affect the fact that the treasure house has never been stolen since its establishment.

Although this was not the first time he came to the Imperial Treasure House, Ai Youqian was still shocked by the huge treasure house that was almost the size of an entire football field and had a ceiling of thirty meters.

Most of the empire's precious resources are stored here.

The young man he brought could not hide the surprise in his eyes, and his head turned around, as if he had lost sight of himself.

"Is there no surveillance equipment in the Imperial Treasury? Although there is an evil dome, can it be equipped with wired equipment?" the young man asked curiously, looking confused that there was no camera in a place where so many valuables were placed.

The guard at the door turned his head when he heard the sound and said with a smile: "The treasure house does not need any monitoring, because no one can steal things from here. If someone hides it privately and tries to take it out, the treasure house will react on its own, even if it is Neither can the vetoes of the space department.”

This is not a secret, and the guard does not feel any psychological pressure to tell it.

As he said before, he is just a janitor.

Ai Youqian smiled and led people to the collection area where they could be redeemed.

It wasn't until he was out of sight of the guard that Ai Youqian whispered: "According to my information, the treasure house has a mechanism so that thieves will be noticed immediately when they go out. It is precisely because of this that there is no monitoring in the treasure house. Because the treasure house itself monitors those who enter."

So confident?

The young man raised his eyebrows.

Naturally, he found Ai Youqian's Sean.

Ai Youqian was still shocked when he was approached. He originally thought that it would be some time before Sean would come to the imperial capital, but he didn't expect that he would already be here.

Combined with the infiltrator of the Earl's Villa who had previously caused a stir in high-level circles, Ai Youqian subconsciously identified that person as Sean.

Without him, he knew all too well how terrifying Sean was.

Therefore, when Sean asked Ai Youqian to take him around the empire's treasure house, the big businessman secretly complained in his heart.

This man is not a literary young man who likes to visit exhibits. He most likely has ideas about the treasure house.

Now that he has entered the treasure house to see the opponent's performance, Ai Youqian is more and more sure of his idea.

Sean looked around with interest and focused on a row of displays.

"Produced by Empire Shelter 1, attached prosthetic prototype..." Sean looked at the prosthetic body that looked like a spider's legs and read the introduction above, "Excellent quality, all components except the drive core are complete, exchange requirements Nine hundred thousand lire...I'll blanch it and attach the soul bone."

There was a look of surprise in his eyes: "What a good thing. It is rare to see a prosthetic body attached. Although the most critical driving core is not there, 900,000 lire is still cheap enough."

Although Ai Youqian didn't know what external soul bones were, he shook his head after hearing the words: "It's hard to say. The new models developed based on this thing are only supplied to the military. A brand new set on the black market costs close to 10 million lire. . If you are willing to sell it here at a low price, I guess the missing driving core is the key, and I’m afraid it’s impossible to find it.”

Sean nodded: "So, you are the one who took advantage of me?"

Ai Youqian agreed: "No one will buy this thing. There were people who suffered losses in the beginning, but now no one who is qualified to enter here will buy it again."

"Then buy one." Sean pointed.

Ai Youqian paused and shook his head helplessly.

He pressed the golden button under the redemption item, and the prosthetic body slowly sank to an unknown place.

Ai Youqian explained: "The redemption items must undergo some kind of processing so that they can be taken out of the treasure house normally. Then the redemption items will appear in the big box at the door."

"What about paying? If you don't pay, can you just take it away?" Sean asked curiously.

Ai Youqian shook his head: "You can't take it away, and the most precious items in the collection that can be exchanged for lira are only tens of millions of lira. It's not worth it for people who can enter here to fall out with the empire for this little money. And For those high-value items that can only be exchanged for items of the same level, the redeemer must hand over his own first, so it’s not worth it.”

Sean leaned over and looked at the sunken base. He couldn't see clearly through the glass, and it was pitch black underneath.

He tapped on the glass and even tried a few other buttons.

Ai Youqian watched with horror. This is the empire's treasure house after all. Although it is only the first floor, you don't take it to heart...

After looking around for several times, Sean didn't find what he wanted, but unexpectedly found something else.

There is a fountain at the edge of the treasure house, and water with a strong chemical smell sprays out and falls on a pile of exhibits around the fountain.

Seeing Sean stop, Ai Youqian introduced: "These are also exchangeable items. You must have heard of the Poison City not far away from the emperor, right? These are all taken from the Poison City. I guess they need some kind of Chemical spraying can maintain its original effect.”

Sean squatted aside and looked at it and said, "What's in it?"

The collections are sealed in square black boxes, with only some small holes at the top to allow chemicals to flow in.

Ai Youqian shook his head: "I don't know, but the things in Poison City are very special. They may be mechas, prosthetics, parts of some mutant species, or even living creatures. The common point is that the products of Poison City have been around for a long time. It is combined with the characteristics of Poison City, otherwise it may become ineffective. "

"Then how to use it after redeeming it?" Sean asked.

Ai Youqian said: "For normal use, it also needs to be soaked in chemicals with poisonous city characteristics when placed. Chemicals are not expensive, but constant use of poisonous city products will cause irreversible damage to the body. This thing has great side effects, and You can’t see what’s inside, so buying it back depends on luck, and it can only be used by the dead men of the family. It’s not very valuable, so the empire has basically stopped developing the Poison City.”

Sean nodded thoughtfully, but he still followed Ai Youqian's previous example and ordered a few boxes.

Ai Youqian didn't stop him. These 'blind boxes' were not expensive, costing half a million lire each. He also knew that Sean liked to do whatever he wanted, so this little money was nothing.

It has only been half a year, and he has already earned nearly 80 million lire from Paradise City. Spending hundreds of millions to make his partners happy is a very cost-effective deal.

Sean looked relaxed and seemed to just buy a few to play with.

However, what no one knows is that the ones he ordered may be the most dangerous and valuable ones in this batch of blind boxes.

The Heart of Deception pays different prices for deceiving according to the level of the item. For Sean, his own ability is the best level appraiser.

He could clearly feel that the deceitful heart issued a warning when facing those blind boxes. This was a sign of higher costs after fraud.

It's not a treasure appraiser, but it's definitely more reliable than an appraisal expert, and it's only a few dollars, so it's a waste as if it's the imperial princess's introduction fee.

However, the Imperial Treasure House is indeed not very kind. Except for the few items that Sean bought, the real value and the price of other items are quite different.

Passing by a tree that spits out gold, Sean bought it again.

Although according to Ai Youqian's estimation, the gold- spitting tree costs 10 million lire, and it will take a full fifty years to repay the money, the reaction of the deceitful heart shows that the gold- spitting tree is not low-level.

Anyway, if you can't research it, you can pass it on to Xiao Ci as a family heirloom.

"That's the second floor, and there are very few people who are qualified to go up there."

Following Ai Youqian's direction, Sean looked over.

There is a simple spiral staircase with a red carpet on it. When you stand at the bottom, you can even see some exhibits on the second floor through the gaps.

The reaction of the Fraudulent Heart became much larger.

Sean looked surprised: "There are a lot of good things on the second floor."

"I have good eyesight, but I'm not qualified to go up to the second floor." Ai Youqian shook his head.

Sean glanced at the unobstructed staircase: "What, an air wall?"

Ai Youqian said in surprise: "You know?"

"Is there really an air wall?"

Sean walked over and touched it, but came up empty.

"Where's the wall?" He turned his head in confusion, only to see Ai Youqian frozen on the spot.

"You, can you go in?" Ai Youqian said in disbelief.

"Can I go in?" Sean narrowed his eyes.

Ai Youqian walked over and stretched out his hand in front of Sean. You could clearly see that his hand stopped in mid-air and was firmly resisted by an invisible wall.

"I am not qualified to enter, because those who can enter the second floor and above are those who have been granted qualifications by His Majesty the Emperor himself, such as marshals, justices, cardinals, etc..." Ai Youqian looked at Sean as if he were a ghost. ,"unless……"

Sean's eyelids twitched: "Damn it, can't you?"

There was no surveillance around, but Ai Youqian still pulled Sean to the corner. He looked at Sean in disbelief: "You have royal blood..."

"Yeah?"

"Yes! This is the only explanation. Baoku has never identified anyone wrong!" Ai Youqian's eyes were filled with shock.

He suddenly remembered the news he had heard a long time ago, which was that he once invited a high-status congressman to drink.

The congressman received a sponsorship of 80 million liras that night. He drank too much in the moment and accidentally leaked some royal secrets.

His Majesty the Emperor once had a fifth prince, but he was kidnapped and left the palace in his early years. His life and death are unknown. In order to save the face of the royal family, this matter was concealed from the public. Only a few high-ranking people knew the truth.

According to the time mentioned by the congressman, the fifth prince is indeed in his early twenties now...

Ai Youqian looked at Sean as if he were a ghost. Is he the fifth prince?

Not to mention that Ai Youqian couldn't believe it, Sean himself was also confused.

Seeing his appearance, Ai Youqian thought again and again and whispered everything he knew.

After a moment, Sean raised his head: "You said, I am the fifth prince?"

"This is the only explanation."

Ai Youqian lowered his voice, but the shock inside could not be concealed. At the same time, you could even hear a hint of surprise in his words.

His biggest partner actually has such an identity? !

Make a lot of money!

For this big businessman to behave like this is enough to show the weight of the identity of the fifth prince.

Sean narrowed his eyes.

Am I the fifth prince?

The first thing that came to his mind was: Well, if I slept with Bai Ye, wouldn't it be...

Something is wrong.

Sean thought about everything carefully. According to Ai Youqian, the fifth prince was robbed out of the palace, so no matter what the robber wanted to do, he must have a purpose.

But Sean grew up in the slums of Paradise City, and that's the biggest problem.

Could it be that Jin Kui robbed it and threw it into the slums for him to practice before finally picking it back up? This is pure bullshit.

Sean is very sure that he is definitely not the fifth prince, because the links in it don't make sense. The most important thing is that everything Sean does in this world was designed by him - a person who should have died in various 'aftermaths' An intellectual boss, a person who has suffered countless plot kills, cannot possibly be the fifth prince.

Because, for people who are about to die in Paradise City, there is no point in designing the identity of the fifth prince.

only……

Sean looked at Ai Youqian. The shock in the big businessman's eyes had not subsided.

After thinking for a moment, Sean did not express his views on the fifth prince, but pointed to the second floor: "I'll go up and take a look."
