A lucky cat fell from the sky.

Chapter 16 The Ingenious Use of the Man in Black's Camera

It seems that the camera belonging to the man in black serves the same purpose as depicted in the movies: to erase people's memories.

If everyone's memories could be erased... Wu Cheng suddenly thought of Young Master Lu. If he took a few more shots of him with the man in black's camera, would he turn him into an idiot?

He immediately asked Jin Wanliang if this was possible.

Jin Wanliang immediately denied it: "If something so amazing existed, could you buy it for just two gold coins? It's disposable; a camera can only be used once."

Wu Cheng thought about it and realized that he had been overthinking things.

Moreover, he hadn't read the instructions when he replaced it, and he didn't realize that this thing was disposable.

If you calculate it this way, wouldn't I have lost out, spending 20,000 yuan on a disposable camera?

Just as he was feeling sorry for himself, Jin Wanliang said with disdain, "What an idiot, meow. You've struck gold this time."

"What?" Wu Cheng was taken aback.

"That prop they used to stage an accident," Jin Wanliang said, knowing about staged accidents, "didn't you casually put it in the cat house?"

Wu Cheng quickly checked the cat house and found that there was an extra blue and white porcelain basin inside.

This basin isn't very big; it's only good enough to be used as a brush washer or something similar.

Jin Wanliang, however, used it as a cat food bowl.

Wu Cheng's heart skipped a beat: "Could this really be Yuan blue and white porcelain?"

"Yuan blue and white porcelain? That's impossible, meow. But this is a pretty good item, worth ten gold coins, meow."

"Ten gold ingots?" Wu Cheng's eyes lit up immediately. "This is really a treasure! I didn't expect that the person who staged the accident was right. This thing is worth 100,000."

Jin Wanliang looked at Wu Cheng with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot: "It's worthless to them, meow. This cat only collected it because I saw that it had some craftsmanship."

“Craftsmanship? What is craftsmanship?” Wu Cheng could understand the words “craftsmanship”, but he didn’t know what they meant.

"Craftsmanship means putting all your heart and soul into something. When you're focused and put in the effort, the result will have the spirit of craftsmanship. Otherwise, do you think I, the great cat, would spend gold ingots to buy some worthless things?"

Wu Cheng hadn't thought about that question.

He had previously only thought that Jin Wanliang's hobbies were a little different from others, such as collecting cat paw cups, which were only worth 700 yuan, but he could recycle them for one yuan.

For example, even though it's a Zisha (purple clay) Doraemon, it's willing to be recycled.

And that brick inkstone, it didn't look anything special, but Jin Wanliang was willing to spend 100 gold coins to buy it.

He had never understood Jin Wanliang's motives, but now he suddenly understood—it was craftsmanship. Jin Wanliang seemed to appreciate products crafted with dedication.

He confirmed again: "Are all the things you collect crafted with ingenuity?"

"Exactly, what else could it be?"

Wu Cheng was a little confused: "A cat paw cup can be made with craftsmanship? This is mass-produced."

“What’s so strange about that, meow? Creativity is also a kind of craftsmanship,” Jin Wanliang explained.

Well, that reason makes sense.

"But it's only ten gold coins, so there's not much to be happy about," Wu Cheng said.

"Ten gold coins is just your membership recycling limit," Jin Wanliang said. "Why don't you upgrade and see?"

Wu Cheng glanced at the number of gold ingots he had and immediately refused.

There are only sixty-odd gold coins in total, not enough to upgrade.

To upgrade, we need to have Jin Wanliang acquire a few more ingenious items, but acquiring them now would be a loss, so it's better to develop our strength cautiously.

Wu Cheng felt that if he really wanted to upgrade the system, he would have to wait until he had more than 300 gold coins.

Jin Wanliang saw through Wu Cheng's thoughts: "If you want to save your life and don't want to take risks, take out the camera that the man in black used to take pictures with and take a look."

"A camera belonging to a man in black? What's inside?" Wu Cheng was taken aback.

"Of course it's a photograph, otherwise why would it be called a camera?" Jin Wanliang thought Wu Cheng was really too stupid.

Wu Cheng took out the camera and discovered that there was a developing button inside. The camera of the man in black seemed to be the kind of instant camera that could take pictures as soon as you pressed a button.

He pressed the wash button. Then he saw the four people in the photo.

There was one person trying to stage an accident, and three burly men responsible for intimidation.

These people looked at the camera with empty, lifeless eyes.

"It's just a photo."

“Take a closer look at the cat; it’s staring at someone,” Jin Wanliang said.

Wu Cheng stared at the burly man on the far left. When their eyes met, Wu Cheng suddenly felt a daze, as if he had entered the burly man's body.

Countless memories flooded Wu Cheng's mind. First, Lu Shao told them that he would give them 50,000 yuan to settle his affairs, and then they discussed how to distribute the money.

These people originally planned to extort 10,000 yuan from Wu Cheng and call it a day, but Wu Cheng was actually willing to give 100,000 yuan.

Upon seeing this, Wu Cheng wanted to slap himself for spending too much money.

There are many trivial things in my memory. Some are the experiences of this burly man peeping at other people taking a bath when he was a child. Some are the experiences of being bullied when he was a child. Some are the experiences of him cheating on his wife with some girl recently. And there are also the experiences of this old guy taking selfies in women's clothing.

Wu Cheng was a little dumbfounded; he hadn't expected this guy to be so uninhibited.

There are also various accounts and passwords, including accounts and passwords for the recently released and hottest mobile game "Tianxing". It should be noted that this mobile game is a buy-to-play game, with each account costing 50,000 yuan, and it was sold out as soon as it was released.

Now, these accounts are being sold online for a staggering 100,000 yuan each.

Although this can't be converted into money, Wu Cheng plans to find an opportunity to list the account on a second-hand website and sell it, hoping to make some money.

He exited the memory of this burly man and then stared at another burly man.

They quickly grasped the memories of another burly man.

Finally, he entered the memory of the person who staged the accident.

As soon as he entered, Wu Cheng understood what Jin Wanliang meant when he said he had made a fortune this time.

Because this person who staged the accident got control of a small porcelain kiln.

In this small porcelain kiln, there are hundreds of porcelain pieces similar to the brush washer that Wu Cheng obtained. If this brush washer came from that small porcelain kiln and shows craftsmanship, then it means that all these porcelain pieces are craftsmen.

If all these hundreds of porcelain pieces could be bought back by Jin Wanliang, their value would reach several thousand gold coins, enough to upgrade oneself, and even allow one to advance two levels.

Wu Cheng exclaimed, "This is really a great thing! I never imagined that the camera belonging to the man in black could be used like this."

"Otherwise what?" Jin Wanliang pursed his lips, looking down on Wu Cheng. "Do you think the products in our mall are just for simply erasing people's memories?"

These words left Wu Cheng speechless.

That's exactly what he thought. But being able to erase someone's memory, especially fragments of their memory, would be quite impressive.

Moreover, now we can use this photo to delve into someone's memory, which is equivalent to possessing that person's memories.

This feature is incredibly powerful.

The 20,000 yuan was well spent.
