Starting My Treasure Hunting In England

In the outskirts of London, a van that looked half-new was parked in front of a red-brick Victorian townhouse. The rare sunshine in the British Isles shines on the white car and the road, making the area at the door of the room look much brighter.

In the house closest to the car, bursts of sounds of objects colliding came from the open window on the second floor.

"Bang -" A large pile of thick books and magazines was placed heavily on the ground from a bookshelf, and then some books originally hidden behind these books were revealed.

"It seems that my guess is correct. How can such a wide cabinet only hold one layer of books?" Liang En shined the flashlight into the depths of the bookshelf, and then used his hands with thick tool gloves to remove the items inside. The items were taken out.

Perhaps because these things have been inside for a long time, even on an island like the United Kingdom, which is not very dusty, these things are each covered with a not-so-thin layer of dust.

When these books were taken out from the partition of the bookcase, clouds of dust immediately filled the small room. Fortunately, Liang En was wearing a gas mask used for spray painting and was not hit.

For some reasons, Liang En did not engage in work related to what he studied after finishing college in Ireland. Instead, he chose to go to London to become a freelance treasure hunter.

Unfortunately, due to bad luck, all his work in the past two months was acting as a porter and recycling all kinds of junk.

But now Ji Tai finally came. After running through six houses in vain, he finally found something valuable in the seventh house that needed to be cleaned.

"If it doesn't work, I'll have to ask my parents for living expenses, so let me make a little more money this time -" Liang En muttered in a low voice while carrying things.

There weren't many books hidden behind the bookcase, and he didn't look so old that he might fall apart at any time. So it only took ten minutes for a dozen items to be laid out in a row on a table by the window.

These things all looked like books with leather or artificial leather covers. Considering that book prices across Europe are generally on the high side, hardcover books, even second-hand ones, can be sold for a considerable sum of money.

Next, there was another round of rummaging through the cabinets. After making sure that everything in the small living room had been checked and that nothing was missing, Liang En began to sort out the trophies that he had placed on the table in front of the window.

"Pride and Prejudice in 1962, The Hobbit in 1968, A Tale of Two Cities in 1951..."

After using a dry cloth to wipe off the thick dust on the covers of the books, Liang En discovered that these books were all hardcover books from before the 1970s.

Although these dozen or so books seemed to be some old books, after opening the books, Liang En found that basically all of these books were brand new and looked like they had no trace of being read at all.

Used books in the UK are not cheap, so these books can be sold for at least three to four hundred pounds.

Obviously, considering that the residents of these row houses are all low-income manual workers, they probably did not buy this hardcover literary book themselves.

Based on the current situation, Liang En easily judged that the previous residents should have obtained these books under some accidental circumstances, and then they were left here to eat ashes.

It wasn't until the landlord of the house wanted to sell the house that Liang En was hired to clean up the house, which had been abandoned for at least a year or two, and discovered the books.

This discovery made Liang En quite excited, because although these hardcover books were all mass merchandise, if you find the right place and sell them as second-hand books, you might be able to get them for four to five hundred pounds.

For his current job, he can't actually save much money from simple cleaning work. The real money comes from finding some good things that others don't want or forget during the cleaning process.

For example, the contract signed by Liang En this time was like this. The landlord paid Liang En only half of the market price, but it was specifically stated that except for the house itself, everything found would belong to him.

But whether you can find something good is purely a matter of luck. In the previous two months of cleaning work, Liang En's biggest achievement was to find a limited edition silver-shell zippo with carvings in a pile of garbage in a house, and then exchanged it for 150 yuan. Over ten pounds.

After checking all these expensive books, I packed them one by one in the big bag I brought. Liang En moved a stool from the side and took off the gas mask on his face and sat down facing the window. Then he breathed in the fresh air and stared at the blue sky and white clouds in the sky.

He is 24 years old and comes from a parallel space Earth. As a result, when I woke up two months ago, my life was changed and I became myself in another world.

After spending a few days summarizing the memories in his mind, Liang En discovered that the history, geography, and politics of the two worlds were very different, and they could be regarded as twin worlds.

For example, this world also has Zhou, Qin, Han, and Tang dynasties, as well as Europe, Asia, and Africa. Even his relatives are the same as in the previous life, with almost no changes.

The word "almost" is used because overall there is not much difference between the two worlds, but in some small aspects, the two worlds are quite different.

For example, compared to himself in the previous world, Liang En’s biggest change was from a Chinese to a Chinese-Irish.

The reason for such a change was that a relative who had been missing for more than half a century in this world chose Liang En's father as the heir, instead of one of his uncles in the original world.

As for the reason why I am doing this job now, it is also very simple, that is, in addition to my memory, I also have a heritage called historical explorer that comes with me here. To activate this cheat, a series of conditions must be met.

But what he didn't expect was that it was so difficult to make money from this job that the money he had now was just enough to survive.

"Cards." I thought of this. Liang En immediately used his mind to activate the only usable function of his golden finger, and then, in front of his retina, a card began to appear——

This is Liang En's current golden finger, and it is also the embodiment of that inheritance. Unfortunately, this card is now gray, which means it has not been successfully activated.

In the middle of the card, a line of golden text is floating on the card. [Exploration completed and can be activated]

"Huh?" Seeing the three words "activable" in the last status column, Liang En stood up from his seat suddenly, even knocking over the stool.

Because before this, the text in front of this line of text always showed that the exploration was not completed, and the last text also always showed the words "inactive".

"In other words, my behavior of finding these books was actually a recognized exploration, and neither reading books nor finding the silver lighter before was considered as such." After calming down, Liang En quickly summed up a pattern.

According to his guess, these books can barely be regarded as items of historical value, so finding these books is an exploration recognized by Goldfinger, and the previous lighter is obviously not as valuable as this in terms of historical value.

"Okay, let me see what you are -" After taking a deep breath, Liang En clicked on the card with his own consciousness.
