Chapter 214: Finding a Reward

Eldest Bei HuaRong and Second Bei LuHua sat on either side of Bei YuYao.

"Lao San, quickly let us have a look!"

Bei HuaRong said.

"Hurry up!"

Bei LuHua urged.

"I'm really fed up with you two!"

Bei YuYao, helpless, had no choice but to show the wound to the two of them.

After seeing it, eldest Bei HuaRong looked astonished and said, "Lao San, it's swollen like a peach—doesn't it hurt?"

"Yeah! Should we put some medicine on it?"

Second Bei LuHua asked.

"It doesn't hurt, not at all!"

Bei YuYao shook her head and said.

"Besides pain, any other feeling?"

Bei HuaRong asked again.

"It's just… it was very painful at first, then gradually got better…"

Bei YuYao began to describe.

"That's amazing!"

"Yeah!"

Bei HuaRong and Bei LuHua sighed in admiration.

Such a large needle, yet Bei YuYao's wound looks so small…

"Yikes! What is this!"

Bei LuHua suddenly pointed at Bei YuYao's wound and exclaimed in surprise.

Xinshi Xiaoqu Building 4, Unit 803.

Lin Feng pressed the doorbell.

After the door opened, a wave of heat surged out.

This is why Lin Feng likes high-quality tenants.

In the deep winter, the heating is on everywhere.

Even just popping in for a moment lets you enjoy it.

Shu Jingya wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses and was dressed in a black winter sleeping robe.

Under the robe, a section of her calf was visible, and on her feet she wore a pair of plush slippers.

"Come in quick, I'm freezing!"

Shu Jingya grabbed Lin Feng and pulled him inside, then immediately shut the door.

Lin Feng felt the heat hit his face, while Shu Jingya sensed a blast of cold air rushing in from outside.

After entering, Lin Feng changed into a pair of black plush slippers.

"May I smoke?"

Lin Feng asked.

With the heating on, the space is sealed.

"Feel free."

Shu Jingya said with a smile.

Lin Feng sat down on the sofa, took out a cigarette and a lighter.

The living room had several rows of bookshelves, looking somewhat cramped.

Shu Jingya took a stack of documents from the bookshelf, placed them in front of Lin Feng, and said, "The data I just collected came from an old soldier in Germany. The old man said it was left behind by a major named Conrad. Do you know who Conrad is?"

Saying this, Shu Jingya sat down opposite Lin Feng, crossing her legs.

Lin Feng unintentionally glanced at it.

Sister Jingya still has this habit; at home she likes to wear only one piece of clothing.

"I don't know."

Lin Feng shook his head.

Shu Jingya said with a smile, "Even the old soldier who sold this data doesn't know who Conrad is, but I do."

Conrad Hoffman, a former Nazi officer, responsible for logistics, was one of the military officers most trusted by Germany's top leader at the time.

As World War II was nearing its end, Conrad disappeared and never reappeared.

But later someone discovered a family letter that Conrad had written to his relatives before his disappearance.

Conrad was a code expert, and he used a code in the family letter.

His family did not know the code in the letter; later, due to financial hardship, they sold this letter, which amounted to wartime material.

The letter eventually ended up in the hands of a World War II history professor, who found a set of codes on it.

Then, using that set of codes, he deciphered the letter's content.

It turned out Conrad was carrying out a secret mission to transfer wealth; knowing he would be buried together with that wealth after completing the mission, he hoped his family would not miss him and would live well.

The letter did not reveal what the wealth was or where it was buried.

But this is nevertheless a major clue.

Thus the World War II history professor spent several years gathering data, hoping to find other textual materials left by Conrad.

The result was nothing.

That history professor only revealed this information on his deathbed.

Of course, this happened several years ago. Many countries wanted to find these materials, but they came up empty-handed.

"Then how did you obtain these materials?"

Lin Feng asked curiously.

Shu Jingya smiled and said, "You guess where these materials were found?"

Lin Feng shook his head.

"It was in our country."

Shu Jingya said: "In 1948, a German official hid his name and fled to our country, where he settled down."

Later he also became a senior technician, making a huge contribution to our country's construction.

He married and had children in our country, passed away in 1985, leaving behind many things.

These materials were found by his daughter when she was moving house, sorting through household items, inside a wall.

His daughter only then learned her father's real name, Li Xite. Li Xite had been Konrad's adjutant and was also Konrad's good friend.

Before Konrad disappeared, he handed these materials over to Li Xite. Li Xite changed his name to avoid possible trial ahead.

Of course, these are our inferences; we spent a long time reading and cracking these materials.

Even after inputting these materials into a computer and using the fastest computing machine to crack them, we found no clues about any treasure inside.

"Who are you?"

Lin Feng asked.

"Mischievous!"

Shu Jingya gave Lin Feng a look and said, "You clearly know what I do, yet you still ask."

Lin Feng chuckled.

Then he said, "Suppose, I mean suppose! If I could find treasure clues from it, what benefits could I get?"

Shu Jingya said: "Even if you found it, do you plan to dig for treasure in Deguo territory? In Miandian, in the Philippines it's possible, but not in Deguo."

After we cracked them, we could only trade them for what we wanted, such as some high-precision technology, mechanical data, etc.

Actually, these things are the most important; such a treasure might be just a few hundred tons of gold, or artworks we cannot appreciate.

At most it's a few hundred billion dollars, but obtaining the key technology, the value created by such technology is infinite.

Lin Feng nodded.

He greatly agreed with Shu Jingya's statement.

"Little brother, do well! After you find it, sister will reward you!"

Shu Jingya said this with a charming expression, stood up, and waved at Lin Feng.

Then she walked over to the bookshelf, took a book, and started reading.

Lin Feng began flipping through the pile of materials in front of him.

They were all in German.

There were also some strange symbols.

With the experience from the last gold treasure, Lin Feng first memorized all the materials.

This process took nearly two hours.

With these memories, he then analyzed them to see if he could find the so-called password.

Shu Jingya had said that even if these materials were given to the most advanced computer for calculation, the password information would not be found.

But in some aspects, the human brain is far more advanced than computers.

For example, in text processing.

Computers can never think like humans.

"Can computers write a poem like 'Flying straight down three thousand feet, doubting the Milky Way falls nine heavens'?"

"Of course they can; just keep arranging and combining Chinese characters, and it's only a matter of time to compute."

"But computers cannot grasp the artistic conception of this verse."

Lin Feng can, so he quickly found the pattern within.
