R'hllor didn't refute, and continued to admire the strange sights and the humans in strange costumes that he had never seen before.
Gary found a well-known jewelry store, walked in and found the exchange counter, and said, "Hello, I want to cash in gold."
"Okay, have you brought the things?" The teller was shocked that Gary spoke Mandarin extremely well, but he still kept smiling.
Gary handed over the gold cake in his hand, "Here."
The teller weighed the gold cake and said with a smile, "Huh, the portion is really big and heavy on your hands. I want to burn it first, do you mind?"
"Burn it." Gary doesn't care, real gold is not afraid of fire.
The teller used a flamethrower to re-melt the gold cake, put it into a plastic container, and turned it into a gold bar. He observed it carefully and said with a smile, "It looks like there are no impurities and the color is very pure. But to be on the safe side, I need to use an instrument to test it."
"Please." Gary waited patiently for his next words.
The teller put the gold bars into the gold detector and the results came out quickly.
"Yes, the purity is very high. The gold has been tested. Sir, have you brought the invoice and certificate?"
Gary waved his hand, "I didn't bring anything."
The teller gave an apologetic look, "Guest, this won't work. Gold is now recycled under a real-name system..."
Gary interrupted him, "Okay, stop talking nonsense. I just saw that the net weight of this piece of gold is 1143 grams. Please give me an integer, which is one kilogram."
The teller's eyes lit up, "Well... the customer is really direct, so I will give the customer 300,000. I need to manage the remaining 100,000, which is very troublesome."
Gary was too lazy to argue with him so much. Anyway, the gold was just something R'hllor picked up, "I just want cash."
The teller was stunned for a moment and looked at Gary suspiciously, "If the customer cannot provide even the most basic proof of identity, then we..."
R'hllor couldn't stand it anymore, so he pushed Gary away, stared at the teller, and whispered softly, "Do as he said."
As early as when she peeked into Gary's memory, she had already learned Mandarin.
The teller's eyes instantly lost their luster, and he said dullly, "Understood, three hundred thousand yuan, only cash."
He turned around and walked into the office with the gold bars. After a while, he came out with a black backpack.
"There is 300,000 yuan in the backpack. I will start checking the banknotes for you right away..."
Gary took the backpack from his hand and said, "No, a big brand chain store like yours would never dare to prepare so many counterfeit banknotes."
He pulled R'hllor and quickly left this place of right and wrong.
Just at the end of the commercial street, there is a large shopping mall. Gary and R'hllor came here, "Okay, we have money, now we will buy a suit of suitable clothes first, and then two mobile phones."
R'hllor didn't know what a mobile phone was, but she wondered why Gary wanted to buy clothes, "My divine power has been woven into any clothes, and they are even stronger."
Gary scratched his forehead, "The clothes woven by the divine power are too light. I can't feel their existence at all. In short, they are very weird. I need to wear real clothes!"
"Whatever you want." R'hllor couldn't understand Gary's thoughts, but she was not in the mood to interfere with Gary's lifestyle, so she just let it go.
Gary bought a set of sportswear and sneakers, and then he bought a set of JK clothes for R'hllor in a bad way, and also bought a smartphone, before going to a 24-hour fast food restaurant to take a rest.
When he bought a mobile phone, he also bought an anonymous black card, which can make calls and surf the Internet.
"We don't have ID cards, so we can't take planes or trains. At some bus terminals that are not strict, you can find long-distance bus drivers to buy tickets directly."
"But given the environment on long-distance buses... it's better to buy a second-hand car."
Gary was worried that the long-distance bus filled with various smells would make R'hllor go berserk, so he changed his mind instantly.
The two sat in a fast food restaurant until almost dawn, then hailed a taxi and headed to the second-hand car market on the other side of the city.
Gary randomly selected a nearly new car, "Okay, this is the Volkswagen. I'm in a hurry to go home. I'll give you the money first, and we'll deal with the procedures when I get back."
"Yes, yes, it's insurance..." the salesperson beamed.
Gary paid the car payment and reached out to ask for it, "If you don't need this little money, give me the car keys."
The salesman hurriedly handed over the keys and said, "Slow down."
Gary and R'hllor got into the car and left in style.
The salesman was left alone and exclaimed, "A car worth more than 100,000 yuan, without insurance or transfer of ownership. Tsk, it's great to be rich."
Gary turned on the mobile phone navigation and drove on the highway, quickly heading towards his hometown.
R'hllor looked at the scenery outside the car window, "A car... is much more comfortable to sit in than a carriage. You humans can really enjoy it."
"Have you ever ridden in a carriage?" Gary couldn't help but look sideways.
R'hllor seemed to be recalling, "Well, I once experienced human life."
Gary said casually, "If you're sleepy, just take a nap. We won't arrive at our destination until tomorrow night."
R'hllor said seriously, "We will not be sleepy."
The whole journey was silent.
Gary spanned two provinces and took more than thirty hours. It finally stopped at the nearest service area and did not rush to get off the highway.
"Why don't you leave?" R'hllor looked at Gary in confusion.
Gary closed his eyes to rest. There was divine power in his body to provide energy, and he was not hungry or sleepy. However, after driving for more than thirty hours continuously, his eyes were very sore.
"We have to wait until midnight, when the traffic police are off work, before we can get off the expressway. Because we don't have driver's licenses... Forget it, you won't understand even if I say it. Don't worry, I didn't delay on purpose."
The two waited until late at night before driving off the highway and arriving near Gary's parents' house.
Gary knocked on the door, only to find that another family of strangers lived in his parents' house. After asking, he found out that he had been in a coma for more than two years and his parents had sold the house to raise money for medical expenses.
Secretly anxious, he went to his uncle and aunt's house again and found that they had also sold the house.
Not only that, my uncle and the others also sold the supermarket. If something goes wrong, there must be a monster. Could it be related to Naviga?
In desperation, Gary found a few more distant relatives, and finally learned from them the whereabouts of his parents, uncle, and aunt.
"What? Have you all gone abroad?"
Several distant uncles took Gary's cigarettes and looked at the blond man and red-haired girl in front of them curiously, "Yes, it is said that they went to country A. Aren't you a colleague of Gary? He didn't tell you?"
Gary then asked, "Do you have their detailed address? Or their mobile phone number."
The distant uncles became suspicious, "Yes, yes, but what are you doing with Gary and the others?"
Gary was too lazy to waste words with them, so he launched R'hllor, "You come."
R'hllor's voice seemed to have a magical quality Mana, "Tell him the truth."
The uncles immediately looked blank and blurted out. "NY City, Country A, the phone number is 202-XXX-XXXX."
