Chapter 7

Gao Xi walked around the room on the fourth floor and found a few things that looked like leather scrolls on the table. They were densely filled with records of some events. Unfortunately, he still couldn't recognize the writing, but there were some numbers that were the same as those in the real world. According to Gao Xi's understanding, these should be records of some experiments. It seemed that someone had indeed lived here before, and it might have been someone who was very obsessed with science, or perhaps an elf?

In addition to these records, there were some scrolls. These scrolls were very strange; when touched, they felt different. Gao Xi thought they were probably magic scrolls, but unfortunately, he couldn't use them. Like the experimental records, they were basically useless.

However, he didn't throw them away. Instead, he put them back in their original place. Who knows, maybe one day he would be able to read the writing, and the things recorded might be useful to him.

Especially those magic scrolls. If he couldn't use them, they were indeed useless, but if he could use them, that would be amazing. Even if it was just a beautiful dream, it didn't take up much space to keep them there.

Then, he opened the cabinet in the room. Inside were two boxes, square and made of metal, both locked. He once again used the great pliers and hammer to force the locks open.

In one of the boxes, there were actually two weapons, or rather, a pair of weapons, emitting a crystalline cold light.

For someone familiar with the "Warcraft" or "Warcraft III" games, there was nothing surprising about these weapons, as they were so familiar that almost every "Warcraft" player could name them—

Egg Knives!

The Ashbringer, commonly known as the Egg Knives, are famous weapons used by the demon hunter Illidan Stormrage in the "Warcraft" series of games created by Blizzard Entertainment. According to legend, the Ashbringer was seized by Illidan from a doomguard officer named Ashbringer during the War of the Ancients, which took place ten thousand years ago.

And since Illidan Stormrage was an elf, it made sense that his weapons were here.

Gao Xi liked to play "Warcraft III," but he wasn't interested in "World of Warcraft," or online games in general. He usually only played old multiplayer games like "Warcraft III," "StarCraft," "Red Alert," "Romance of the Three Kingdoms," "Nobunaga's Ambition," and "Empire." Of course, his favorite was "Warcraft III."

His feeling about these weapons was the same as the ones held by the night elf hero, the demon hunter.

Gao Xi reached out and picked up the Ashbringer, but he didn't feel anything special, unlike the magic scrolls. It was just a weapon like the Egg Knives, with the same shape, but it probably wasn't as magical.

However, when he was about to put it down, he frowned slightly and then bit the blade.

He wasn't hungry; he just felt that the material of the Egg Knives was a bit unusual.

"Solid gold?"

Gao Xi was shocked. Each Egg Knife weighed about fifty kilograms, so two of them weighed a hundred kilograms!

A hundred kilograms of gold!

Even though the price of gold has been falling, it's still about 200 RMB per gram. A hundred kilograms is fifty thousand grams, so the value of a hundred kilograms of gold is over ten million RMB!

He's rich, really rich!

Thinking about this, he quickly opened the other box. Inside was another weapon, also from "Warcraft III," called Frostmourne.

Frostmourne is the weapon of Arthas, the Lich King, and the symbol of the death knight. As its name suggests, it is a powerful and evil weapon with a tragic and sorrowful aura.

This weapon is from the "Warcraft" game world, infused with the power of the Lich King Ner'zhul, and is a cursed sword. In "Dota" and "Warcraft III," Frostmourne has the same origin but different attributes. In the "D&D" template, Frostmourne is a powerful and evil artifact forged by demons, imbued with the power of the Lich King.

Of course, Gao Xi wasn't concerned about the mysterious powers of this weapon or whether his soul would be stolen, because it was just a form, not the real Frostmourne.

What he was concerned about was the material of this weapon.

Platinum!

Also known as white gold!

Gao Xi had seen this material before. In fact, his sister wore a platinum necklace when she got married, which was basically the same as this.

Of course, this was just his opinion. His judgment about the gold was also just a rough guess, not entirely confirmed.

If it was real, this Frostmourne, weighing about 120 kilograms, would also be worth over ten million RMB, as the price of platinum is roughly the same as gold.

From being penniless to owning over twenty million, this felt like a dream. So, Gao Xi tried to calm down. The higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment. What if these were just ordinary models made of materials similar to gold and platinum?

He thought for a moment and then put the two weapons back in the cabinet. He planned to buy some locks later to secure the boxes and the door, as he didn't know if anyone else was here. Locking them would make him feel more secure.

"Baa—!"

Just as he was about to continue searching, he heard Da Bai's call from outside. Looking through the window, he saw that the five puppies were tired from playing and were now lying there, whining for food. The little ones now considered Da Bai their mother, trying to drink milk from her, but Da Bai was just a lamb, and a male one at that, so she couldn't produce milk.

Da Bai's call was clearly a reminder that the five little ones were hungry.

She wasn't hungry because she was a herbivore. The ground was covered with grass, and the grass would quickly regrow after being eaten, as long as it wasn't pulled up by the roots. It grew back faster than leeks.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Gao Xi might have thought he was hallucinating.

Gao Xi smiled, left the Ancient Tree, and comforted the puppies. Since they were still primarily dependent on milk, and his family raised dairy goats, getting some goat milk was no problem.

A short while later, Gao Xi returned, carrying five small feeding bowls and a bucket of goat milk.

To avoid being discovered by his parents, he was very careful when milking the goats, taking a little from over twenty of them, enough for the five puppies.

The bucket wasn't very large.

He carefully poured the goat milk into the five bowls and then went to the Moon Well to scoop some Life Water and Magic Water, mixing them into the goat milk. He hoped the puppies would grow strong, and since the Magic Water had the effect of enhancing immunity and resisting bacteria, mixing a little in shouldn't be a problem.

The effects of the Magic Water were hard to define, but it shouldn't be harmful.

Interestingly, when he first poured the goat milk, the five puppies wrinkled their noses and refused to drink. Gao Xi knew that goat milk had a strong smell, which he didn't like either, and the puppies probably felt the same way. However, after adding the Magic Water, the puppies drank happily, even barking in gratitude to Gao Xi.

Gao Xi was surprised and poured some goat milk into his water bottle, adding some Magic Water. After taking a sip, he smiled. The milk had no more of the strong smell, and it tasted very fragrant, with a sweet and non-greasy flavor. He had never tasted such delicious goat milk.

He didn't expect the Magic Water to improve the quality of the milk, which was another interesting discovery.
