Chapter 434: Chapter434-Be Good, Drink Your Brown Sugar Water
Caelan helplessly spread his hands.
This kind of thing did not need any explanation at all, okay?
However, by this point, he had more or less come to understand the greedy nature of the human race.
For the next period of time, the value of Fragments of History was hyped up to an absurd height!
Fragments of History that had once been worth one copper coin were now worth one hundred gold coins.
And the price was still rising nonstop.
Basically, there was a new price every day!
Inside a luxurious manor, Kate looked at Caelan suspiciously.
"My dear brother, you really aren’t hiding anything from me, right? Why did I hear that after collecting all the Fragments of History, one can awaken an invincible, super-cool hidden class?"
Caelan helplessly covered his forehead with one hand.
"Wait, you actually believe such a low-level scam? If Fragments of History were really that useful, why did no one collect them before?"
Kate frowned and thought for a moment.
She felt that what Caelan said was not entirely unreasonable.
But if that was the case, why had the price of Fragments of History still not fallen?
Who would spend so much money buying a pile of junk?
Wasn’t that pure stupidity?
Kate voiced her doubts.
Caelan merely smiled helplessly and began explaining seriously.
"My dear sister, have you ever thought that this is actually a game of human nature?"
Kate furrowed her cute brows and thought for a while.
Then she shook her head again.
She completely failed to understand what Caelan was trying to say.
On the other side, Caelan began explaining with a helpless expression.
"Think about it. Right now, the price of Fragments of History has already been hyped up."
"Everyone can see that the price is rising, so many merchants, and even ordinary people, will begin hoarding them. They want to sell them at an even higher price."
"Under these circumstances, if the price of Fragments of History suddenly collapses, or if the lie about their value is exposed, what do you think will happen?"
This time, Kate gave a very clear answer.
"I guess the price of Fragments of History will definitely plummet. Then those people who hoarded and speculated on them will lose so much money that their families go bankrupt!"
Caelan nodded and approvingly rubbed Kate’s head.
"That’s right. So those merchants will maintain the price of Fragments of History at all costs, until they feel they have earned enough, or until they can no longer hold it up. Only then will they find a greater fool to take over."
A look of realization appeared in Kate’s eyes.
Suddenly, she seemed to think of something and excitedly said to Caelan, "Brother, I have an Instance to clear. Come with me!"
...
Ten minutes later.
Kate excitedly rubbed her little hands together.
Wait.
Her brother was way too awesome, all right?
He did not even bother defending himself and charged straight in front of the boss.
In the end, the boss was forcibly taken down by all kinds of misfortune, while her brother Caelan came out completely fine!
"My dear brother, how exactly did you do that? You’re so handsome!"
"Eh? Brother, why are you lying down..."
Kate froze slightly.
Then she immediately rushed over and helped Caelan up.
At this moment, Caelan’s eyes were tightly shut, his face was pale, and he revealed a pained expression.
Kate was stunned at first.
Then she seemed to think of something and immediately took out a steaming cup of brown sugar water from her storage space.
"Sorry, Brother. I forgot to calculate the days for your Uncle Period."
"Come on, hurry up and drink this cup of brown sugar water!"
...
Caelan remained dazed and unconscious for an unknown amount of time.
It seemed that he had overexerted himself earlier and passed out from exhaustion.
However, after waking up, he felt that his condition had already recovered quite a lot.
"Little Caelan, you’re finally awake!"
Caelan raised his head blankly.
He happened to see an extra-large nurse lady smiling as she leaned closer.
"Let me touch—ah, no, let me examine you!"
The nurse lady immediately began touching him, carefully giving Caelan a full-body examination.
Caelan’s face instantly turned red.
He covered his old face, wishing he could find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.
He had never dreamed that one day, he would almost be crushed to death!
Wait.
Wasn’t this nurse lady way too fierce?
Her outfit was definitely custom-made!
"How is it? I’m fine now, right?"
Caelan’s face was flushed red as he could not help asking.
The nurse lady, on the other hand, withdrew her hands with a satisfied expression.
"You are already out of danger. However, I suggest you remain in bed and rest for a while longer."
Caelan nodded.
He had just been about to close his eyes and doze off for a bit more when his communicator suddenly vibrated.
"Brother, are you finally awake? That’s great! Looks like my prayers to the gods worked."
"Oh right, when can you recover? I’ll come pick you up!"
...
Ironclad Legion Headquarters.
Caelan and Kate once again appeared at the entrance to the commander’s office.
At this moment, Caelan’s face was filled with a nervous little expression.
The main reason was that today was the Ironclad Legion’s summary meeting for collecting Fragments of History.
Caelan was extremely curious whether the Fragments of History they had obtained so far could produce an effect and help him find the truth of this world.
Knock, knock, knock!
Accompanied by rhythmic knocking, the door was slowly opened by Lina.
However, at this moment, a trace of exhaustion flashed across Lina’s face.
She pointed at the huge round table.
On the round table, a large number of Fragments of History were spread out.
"Little Caelan, come in and take a look. The Fragments of History we have collected so far are all here."
"However... aside from telling a piece of history, they do not seem to have any value."
Caelan narrowed his eyes.
Then he took the initiative to walk directly in front of the round table.
He knew very well in his heart that these Fragments of History were most likely the most important clues to whether he could complete this Instance.
He just did not know which period of history was recorded inside them.
Caelan shook his head.
Then he took the initiative to raise his hand and press it onto the round table.
The next instant, a large number of image fragments appeared before his eyes.
Gradually, these image fragments slowly pieced together into a complete video.
However, it was intermittent and did not flow continuously.
In the first video, a god appeared in the sea.
It continuously sprayed silt, forming a vast land.
The second video was even simpler.
Many living creatures appeared on the land and continuously multiplied and flourished.
In the third video, a meteorite fell from the sky.
Life suffered a catastrophe of extinction.
However, some creatures still tenaciously survived.
They gradually evolved and formed the myriad races.
Naturally, this also included the human race.
