A Priceless Wall!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Xia Zixin approached the front door of the house.

Captain Zhao and the others followed closely behind. They were eager to see how she would open the door.

After all, there were no visible keyholes on the door.

However, Xia Zixin did the unexpected.

She went up to the door and casually placed her palm on it.

The door opened!

Biometrics?!

Captain Zhao's eyes widened in astonishment.

Xia Zixin's palm had laid on the very spot he had spent so much time sawing with the chainsaw!

Just how well-built was this thing?

Captain Zhao looked at the now lowered door on the ground while lost in thought.

Saa and the homeroom teacher were equally dumbfounded.

The officers observing the situation through binoculars from a distance were just as taken aback.

The viewers in the livestream room were fervently sending bullet comments.

They hadn't expected the door to be so thick!

"Oh my goodness..."

"Is this the door to a vault?!"

"Fortunately it retracted downward. Otherwise, if this door fell on top of them, it could have been fatal!"

"Captain Zhao, even if you sawed at it for a year, I doubt you'd be able to cut through it. Moreover, there isn't even a sign on the palmprint recognition area."

"As expected of a criminal who can privately manufacture firearms!"

"This kind of door is incredibly sturdy. I'm not sure even a bomb could blow it open."

"Xia Zixin's father is truly amazing!"

Xia Zixin stood behind the door and waved at Captain Zhao and the others.

"Come in and have a seat. I'll get you some drinks!"

Captain Zhao quickly nodded and walked in.

Saa and the others entered cautiously.

As the last person stepped inside, the door automatically rose again. The sound of its mechanisms added to the surreal atmosphere.

Captain Zhao walked into the room while surveying his surroundings.

He suddenly realized that this place wasn't simply a house; it was a small courtyard!

It had been deceptively concealed from the outside.

The courtyard's wall was about ten meters long!

This wall had been constructed using the same special alloy as the door!

It was almost half a meter thick!

Had he chosen to push down the wall for entry previously, even several bulldozers might have struggled to topple it!

The livestream viewers also witnessed the full scene as the camera moved.

Everyone was left flabbergasted.

"Oh my god!"

"This house is beyond amazing!"

"It's terrifying. The walls are made of a special alloy. How much did it cost?!"

"What's even more shocking is, how did he acquire so much special alloy? He can't have refined it himself, right?!"

"I guess Xia Zixin's father's potential for manufacturing firearms privately is going to waste. He should be working on making rockets!"

"In case of war, as long as we stay inside, we'd be safe!"

"The person above is right. Even in an extraterrestrial attack, he could probably remain untouched!"

"This is amazing. I want to live here too!"

After sizing up the scene for a while, Captain Zhao began to speak.

"Your house's walls do seem quite high, don't they?"

Xia Zixin smiled and nodded.

"Dad said it before.

"As long as the walls are high, we won't have to worry about windy weather!"

Everyone was momentarily speechless.

That was such a roundabout way of answering it!

Saa ventured to ask, "Xia Zixin, why did your family build walls that high and thick?

"Are you guarding against something?"

His question was rather direct.

However, Xia Zixin didn't grasp its implication.

She continued to smile as she replied, "Daddy said that since we're in the South, there's no heating during winter, so we made the walls higher and thicker.

"That way, we can stay warm! Mr. Saa, isn't it a pretty ordinary thing to do?"

Saa was momentarily taken aback.

He wasn't sure whether he should reveal the truth to Xia Zixin.

But just as he was pondering how to put it delicately, Xia Zixin's innocent smile returned.

"Mr. Saa, when my dad comes back, I can have him build a wall like this for you! Teacher said friends should help each other!"

Saa was truly touched by this.

Xia Zixin was incredibly endearing.

The special alloy used for this wall was extremely valuable.

Currently, it was only used for government rockets.

If an ordinary person wanted to use this special alloy to build a wall, they wouldn't even know where to buy it!

After thanking her with a smile, Saa nodded, "Thank you, Xia Zixin."

As he said that, he turned to look at the wall and couldn't help but marvel once again.

There were no traces of welding on the wall.

It was as if an entire sheet of alloy had been placed there.

The livestream audience was equally astonished. They found the sight absolutely mesmerizing!

"Where are the special materials enthusiasts? This is a perfect opportunity to gain popularity. Release the video quickly!"

"How much do you think it costs to build a wall like that?"

"The cost is non-consequential at this point. The crucial issue is there's nowhere to buy it!"

"Are arms dealers really this wealthy? How did he obtain so much alloy? This is terrifying!"

"As expected, some people are different. We've never heard of this material, yet it's being used for walls. That's the disparity…"

As the comments continued to pour in, something unexpected happened in the livestream!

"Hello everyone, I am back with more research.

"While watching the livestream, I was also quite astonished!

"The price of this special alloy is already rather astronomical. The thickness and height of this wall are truly astounding.

"The value of this entire wall is incalculable.

"With so much special alloy, it wouldn't be ridiculous to price it at hundreds of billions!"

Upon seeing these words, the livestream audience went into a frenzy.

"Are you for real?"

"It's not a troll account. It's the real deal. His profile matches up..."

"If he could use such expensive materials for a wall, could Xia Zixin's father be some kind of major arms dealer?!"

"Indeed, this level of wealth probably surpasses that of 95% of people on Earth, right?!"

Captain Zhao was also taken aback.

However, having weathered numerous storms, he quickly regained his composure.

He had entered the house in search of evidence.

However, there was nothing significant in the courtyard. Even though the wall was expensive, it couldn't be regarded as evidence that Xia Qi was involved in unauthorized firearms manufacturing.

Yet, at this very moment, something caught his attention.

It wasn't just the walls that were special; the door itself was equally extraordinary!
