Chapter 58: A Mountain of Treasures

After finding the location, Su Chen and James came to another tombstone wall next to the entrance, took out a slender crowbar from behind, and dragged the stone slab hard from left to right.

The slab itself is not too heavy, but it is stuffed a little tightly, and you may kick away both feet from the inside, but it is not that easy to remove the slab from the outside.

In fact, brute force cracking is the easiest. For example, if you take a hammer or something, you can knock the stone slab in half. The problem is that Su Chen doesn't know how long he will stay in the treasure room. If he is discovered in advance by the workers in the church boiler room like in the movie, his treasure hunting plan will not be so perfect.

It was finally difficult to pull the stone slab off the wall, revealing the dark entrance behind it.

Su Chen crawled in first with a flashlight, James hugged the stone slab and pulled it back into the wall according to his original position.

After moving slowly in the dark passage for several minutes, Su Chen suddenly saw something flashing in front of him. He took the flashlight and looked at it. Only then did he realize that he had arrived at the stairs on the wall in the movie.

In other words, where he and James are located, the exit of the treasure room, and what flashes in the distance is actually the reflection of the gold counter flashlight.

After descending from the stairs, Su Chen took out the prepared combustion lighting rod and wiped a drop of sparks from the passage where the oil was stored. The flames instantly spread throughout the treasure room, making this space of tens of thousands of square meters shine brightly.

Countless treasures piled up into mountains - in the past, it might be just a metaphor, but for Su Chen, who is now in the treasure room, he personally verified this for the first time.

Su Chen screamed strangely, "Wow! It's really... James, what do you think?"

James was unmoved, "Congratulations, this is a wealth that is as rich as a country. You are going to make a fortune!"

"I'm stealing American wealth, you don't have any ideas?" Su Chen asked with a smirk and pointedly.

James just shrugged, "I'm British!"

"Okay... I'll make a place first, I'll go back to drive the forklift, you'll be responsible for transporting it. What do you think?" Su Chen was a little worried. There were too many things, far exceeding his expectations. I guess he would be able to move it in one night.

"Transport with both hands? Those statues made of gold weigh at least a few thousand pounds!" James didn't think he could move those big guys.

"Let me think about it... move it lighter first, let's talk about it at the end!"

"You won't leave me alone here and never come back?"

"Just kidding, I can't bear to let you be with these babies forever!"

The two of them complained and complained, but neither of them was idle. After a while, a large piece of open space was sorted out in the middle of the treasure room.

In the next few hours, the two of them worked as porters without stopping.

Previously, Su Chen stored several forklifts in the warehouse of Green Card World, but now he has moved them all into the treasure room. James is responsible for lifting a box full of gold and jewelry with the forklift, then jumping out of the car to drive another forklift, while Su Chen drove the forklift back to Green Card World, unloading the goods and then driving it back.

Boxes of priceless treasures were transported back to the world of Sweetheart Ladies by the two of them. Because they were almost all big guys, such as statues made of gold, it was very convenient for the two to carry them. They just had to push them down the ground with a forklift and then lift them away. In just three hours, the entire treasure room was almost emptied.

This speed is much faster than Su Chen expected. It seems that before dawn, you can completely clear the place.

As for how Ben Gates, the male protagonist of this movie, will react after finding this, it is not a question that Su Chen needs to worry about.

The reason why I do it so ruthlessly is mainly because I can't stand the hypocrisy of the Americans.

There is nothing wrong with the movie itself. The first movie of National Treasure also achieved a box office success ten years ago, but a conversation between the protagonist and FBI agents at the end of the movie made Su Chen very disgusted.

The male protagonist Ben Gates suggested that the treasures plundered from all over the world be returned to museums in various countries, and the FBI agent leader even agreed!

I can tell with my butt that if I put it in the real world, what a ridiculous conversation! When did the Americans become so selfless?

Let’s take a step back, even if the male protagonist is a saint, what about the US government? Referring to the actual US government, and then comparing the movie…

So as a "reward" to the male protagonist, Su Chen decided to leave him a gift, whether he liked it or not.

"What is above?" James asked after clearing the treasure of the entire space.

Su Chen looked up and saw that it should be the entrance found by the hero and others. It was a small treasure room. "It is all antique cultural relics, but it is of great value, so empty it!"

Walking up the steps, Su Chen saw a lot of ancient Egyptian relics in this small storage room. He knew that this thing was too sensitive and it was not easy to deal with it no matter which world it was placed in. However, he was unwilling to leave it to Ben-Gates, the living saint, and finally decided to take it all away and nothing was left.

The treasures in the small storage room are not convenient to use forklifts. The place here is too narrow and can only be transported by manpower. So Su Chen could only drag a large item with one hand and take out his mobile phone to click the icon of the green card world in the other hand. He kept traveling back and forth between the two worlds, but his efficiency was not slow at all.

Until the entire treasure room was emptied, Su Chen wiped the sweat off his head and glanced at James, and found that his head was covered in dust, looking extremely embarrassed, and couldn't help laughing.

It is not easy to make the elegant 007 so embarrassed.

James raised his lips and showed a hint of sneer, "It's funny? Look in the mirror first and then smile."

Su Chen was choked and suddenly realized that he was not much better than James.

"Go back now?" James Sue

"Ahem! It's done, prepare to return safely!" Su Chen was about to take James away, but suddenly slapped his forehead, took out a can of spray paint from his backpack behind him, and sprayed a message on the wall.

[When the thief of time and space is here, please cry slowly after the latecomers! Note: Mr. Gates, please forgive me for your idle trip. I hope the FBI will not send you to prison for this incident.]

James shook his head speechless, except that he didn't understand who Ben Gates specifically pointed to, he just regarded Su Chen's behavior as a farce for a child.

...

"What are you going to do with so many things?"

After returning to the green card world, looking at the mountains of treasures in the warehouse, both James and Su Chen were stunned.

Su Chen thought for a while and said, "First register an offshore company, then choose a relatively precious antique cultural relic. It is best to have the favorites you like. Use the money you sold to buy a large manor. I want to move all these things to the manor!"

"A good idea is the best large manor with underground storage rooms." James nodded in agreement. After all, in developed countries in Europe and the United States, the concept that private territory should not be trespassed is deeply rooted in people's hearts.

"Go back and have some rest first, I'm exhausted." Su Chen stretched weakly, "This warehouse is very remote, but it's far from the city. No one comes here normally, so there shouldn't be any problems in a short period of time."

There is another subtext he didn't say, that is, even if someone stole these treasures, he actually didn't care, because he still had more worlds to look for treasures.

The two sat back on Aston Martin and drove back to the apartment by James.

"Oh! My God, have you just gone to Africa?" Vespa, who has always been clean and has a little obsessed with cleanliness, couldn't help but shake his head and sigh when he saw the shape of the mud monkeys on both sides.

Su Chen and James looked at each other and went to take a shower in their bedroom.

After washing, Vespa had already prepared a hearty dinner for the two of them.

"It seems that the harvest this time is good. Are you going to share the spoils?" Perhaps because he noticed that the two men were smiling all the time, Vespa couldn't help but tease.

Dividing the spoils? It’s not wrong to say that!

"Vispa, do you know what is the most valuable thing in the antique cultural relics market in 2004?" In Su Chen's opinion, as an elite of the British Finance Ministry, Vespa should have some knowledge of this.

"If it is a private collector, ancient Egyptian cultural relics are the most valuable to collect, and that is a civilization hidden in the dust of history." As expected, Vespa could indeed say it.

To this day, the so-called four ancient civilizations have long been exposed. This is just the Chinese people's own name. There are no major statements abroad. However, it is recognized that the ancient civilizations of China have been preserved relatively intact. Other countries such as Egypt, the races living on their territory are no longer ancient Egyptians.

In other words, today's Egypt is just a country called Egypt, and it has nothing to do with ancient Egyptian civilization, let alone the inheritance of civilization.

Su Chen knew this, especially after self-studying the history textbooks of high school and university, he knew very well what the current regime in Egypt is.

After some understanding, Vesper gave his own advice, "The statue of pharaoh made of gold is too sensitive, unless you want to attract the FBI, I think James knows this best."

James nodded when he heard this, "The greatest value of these things is to be stored in museums, not traded in the market."
