Chapter Chapter38-Eager Buyers! Mysterious Forbidden Zone!(3rd update, Cheer me with Power Stones!)
Alien enthusiasts worldwide swarmed Daniel\'s livestream, trying to make contact with him, and if possible, acquire the alien finger!
In a flash, the chatroom was lit up with all sorts of colorful lights.
Animations of sports cars, rocket emojis shooting into the sky...
These were all gifts sent by netizens to Daniel, each one represented real StellarCoins.
After splitting with the platform, Daniel had received gifts worth nearly a million StellarCoins in a very short time.
"Have these people lost their minds?"
"Spending so much money for an alien finger?"
"Damn, just now there were only a few thousand viewers in the stream, now it\'s skyrocketing towards a hundred thousand?"
"No wonder there are so many gifts, I\'m going blind with all these lights!"
"A hundred thousand viewers! That\'s more than some official large-scale competitions!"
"Looks like the streamer is about to hit the big time!"
"When did the streamer become such a hot commodity?"
The gifts in the livestream kept pouring in.
Each gifter would open the backstage to private message Daniel.
But at this moment, Daniel didn\'t have the time to pay attention to the happenings in his livestream.
Facing the men in black claiming to be from Area 51, Daniel broke into a cold sweat.
Area 51!
The rumored alien research base!
Over the past several decades, people have spotted various strange-shaped flying objects over Area 51 more than once.
There\'s even a rumor that Area 51 has established some sort of contact with aliens.
Hence, Libertopia has jumped from an insignificant third-world country to the world\'s number one superpower in just fifty years.
To think this matter would catch their attention!
Daniel chuckled bitterly.
Suddenly, he felt a pang of regret, questioning whether his actions had been a bit foolish.
Perhaps he should have let the system recycle it; five million would be much better than being taken away by these mysterious men in black.
Who knows what would happen after being taken away?
Just then, Daniel\'s phone rang.
Looking at the man in black, he indicated, "Can I take this call first?"
The man in black didn\'t respond, implicitly granting permission.
Daniel answered the phone, "Hello, this is Daniel."
On the other end of the line, a familiar voice came through, "Hello! Daniel! I want to buy your alien finger. How about a hundred million StellarCoins?"
A hundred million! That\'s exactly the market value that the system gave!
Daniel tentatively asked, "May I ask who this is?"
The voice replied, "I\'m Max!"
No wonder the voice sounded so familiar; he\'d often heard him speaking on TV!
This newly crowned world\'s richest man had an insatiable curiosity about the universe.
His grand ambition was to lead all of humanity into space.
It\'s no wonder he\'s interested in the alien finger, it\'s as normal as it gets.
But...
Daniel looked up at the men in black in front of him.
It was clear that selling this finger might be difficult.
Max on the other end of the phone mistook Daniel\'s silence as hesitation over the price.
He said, "Mr. Daniel, we can negotiate the price. Are you still at the Golden Shores City Police Department? I can fly over right now."
This is what it\'s like to be rich.
No need for private messages in the streaming chat.
Just find out your phone number and suggest a face-to-face discussion.
Money is a good thing indeed!
Daniel sighed internally, giving a wry smile.
"Mr. Max, your offer is very tempting, but I don\'t think I\'ll be able to sell it to you."
Max sounded puzzled, "Why? Is someone offering a higher price? You know my net worth. No one in this world is richer than me. I can offer more!"
Of course, I know!
Who the hell would be richer than the world\'s wealthiest man?
But this matter isn\'t one that money can solve.
Daniel looked at the leader of the men in black and asked, "Max called to buy the alien finger. Can I sell it to him?"
The fact that he needed to ask someone else\'s opinion before selling his own property was just absurd.
The leader of the men in black said nonchalantly, "Mr. Daniel, as you know, we came to you for that alien finger. It would be best if you didn\'t sell it to anyone else."
Daniel felt dejected.
The duck that was within reach flew away.
A hundred million, destined not to belong to him.
The leader of the men in black added, "However, rest assured. If we want this finger, we will do so through a purchase."
In other words, they would pay him?!
A light instantly sparked in Daniel\'s eyes.
He told Max on the phone, "Mr. Max, I\'m sorry, but I won\'t be selling it for now. I believe you\'ll soon find out the reason through online videos or live broadcasts."
With that, he hung up the phone.
As long as there\'s money involved, it doesn\'t matter who it is sold to.
Compared to Area 51, it\'s better not to offend them.
After all, nobody knows the extent of Area 51\'s power.
Pure merchants will never surpass merchants who also hold national power.
After saying goodbye to Rachel, Daniel went with the people from Area 51.
He got into a car at the entrance of the police department and headed straight to the airport.
From there, he took a charter flight to a place that felt unfamiliar to him.
He thought it was an airport, but seeing the cold-colored military buildings and armed guards every few meters, it was clear he was at the legendary Area 51!
Daniel got off the plane and was ushered onto a military SUV.
Two men in black sat on either side of him, constantly watching to ensure he didn\'t make any unnecessary movements.
As for his live streaming phone, it turned off due to some special interference.
At this moment, his live streaming chatroom was in chaos.
"Why did the screen go black?"
"I was hoping to get a glimpse of Area 51!"
"There\'s no way they\'d let you see that place. It must be blocked."
"I\'m so envious of the streamer, he actually gets to go to Area 51."
"The holy land of us alien enthusiasts!"
"When the streamer comes out, we must ask him about the inside."
...
The car drove into a hangar and stopped at the very end.
The leader of the men in black took out his phone and pressed something.
The next second, there was a loud rumbling sound all around.
Daniel noticed that he was slowly sinking underground with the car.
It was an underground tunnel!
Through the window, he watched as the structure above him slowly closed, and everything around him plunged into pitch black.
But soon, the lights turned on.
Daniel found himself in a place similar to a car park.
The place was also heavily guarded.
As soon as the vehicle carrying Daniel appeared, armed soldiers approached immediately.
The leader of the men in black signaled Daniel to get out of the car, and they went through a strict check before being allowed to pass the checkpoint.
They took an elevator that went straight down five hundred meters.
After several minutes, the elevator doors opened.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Daniel realized that he had finally entered Area 51!
In his line of sight were all sorts of advanced flying vehicles.
But they were all within the realm of human design.
However, when he walked into another area, Daniel was dumbstruck.
In the enormous space, there was a disc-shaped flying object!
Isn\'t this the rumored alien spaceship?!
Daniel\'s eyes widened in shock.
But when he thought about it, having already obtained an alien finger, it wasn\'t all that shocking that Area 51 would have an alien spaceship.
Soon, an old man in a white lab coat appeared before Daniel.
"You\'re Daniel? The one who got that alien finger?"
Daniel nodded, feeling a bit nervous.
The man in the lab coat smiled, "I\'m Nibel, in charge here. Don\'t be nervous, we\'ve just invited you here to help with some experiments."
Daniel was a bit stunned, "I can help with experiments?"
He suddenly feared that it could be human experimentation!
Nibel laughed and gestured, "The box you\'re holding contains the alien finger, right? Could you lend it to me?"
Daniel handed it over without hesitation.
Nibel opened the box, and as soon as he saw the finger, a bright light flashed in his eyes.
He immediately grabbed the finger and walked directly towards the spaceship.
Daniel craned his neck to watch, curious about what Nibel was going to do.
To his surprise, Nibel held the finger up to the underside of the spaceship, which then lowered a white pole.
