Chapter 27: Milestone

“It turned out to be like this…”

After understanding the secrets of the digitalized body, Fang Linyan had a clear understanding in his mind. It was no wonder that Fang’s movement wasn’t affected after suffering severe injuries. This must be the reason.

Next, he looked at the phone, and he frowned slightly.

It turned out that Fang Linyan had already sent a short message to some potential customers in Worcester in advance when he got on the car, saying that he had the news of rare element additive TIC in his hand, and he could trade face-to-face; Item first, then money later. However, in the news that Fang Linyan released, he reduced the amount of rare element additive TIC by 10 times which was calculated in grams.

At this time, he had already seen that the message from the mobile phone showed that there were already several customers who were willing to make a deal. In this case, although the transaction would be a little troublesome, Fang Linyan calculated that he could sell them for tens of thousand dollars. This was enough for his following expenses.

When there were about 34 hours before the main mission deadline, Fang Linyan came to Worcester and delivered them one by one according to the address given by the other party. Nothing went wrong during this period; the whole process was pretty smooth. He received almost 20,000 US dollars in cash and about 100,000 bank transfers, but these cash couldn’t be carried out of this world, so it meant that Fang Linyan could only use them in this world.

At this time, Fang Linyan’s rare element additive TIC had just been sold for less than 1/5, but he was cautious. Thinking that the money was almost enough, he didn’t want to get into more troubles. After thinking about it, he threw the bag with the remaining TIC to a few homeless people and told them that it was very valuable. This would be a good deed, but more importantly, he was letting them disperse the attention of the pursuers.

After satisfying the financial needs, Fang Linyan first bought the flight ticket for American Airlines Flight 11 (from Boston Logan International Airport to Los Angeles) to be boarded 30 hours later in accordance with the requirements of the main mission.

But at this time, he realized that he had already booked the first class of this flight 15 days ago, so he didn’t have to worry much.

Then, Fang Linyan thought for a while and booked a flight from Boston to Washington in 3 hours. Worcester is less than 100 kilometers away from Boston Logan International Airport. He had more than enough time by driving at high speed.

Why went to Washington?

It was because Fang Linyan calculated the time and found that the weather conditions in Boston and Washington would be good in the coming week. After ensuring that he would not miss the flight due to the weather, he felt that he could try the Scholar ??milestone.

After all, he had found out that the Mayflower Convention was recently being exhibited in Hall 4 of the National Museum. The exhibition items included “Lexington’s Rifle”, “Lincoln’s Top Hat” and so on. These things that were famous but not valuable, and they were most likely to be imitations of the original, so the relevant security forces were definitely not too strong.

Therefore, there was only one difficulty in this task which was “touching” it. Fang Linyan had already made a few plans about this, so he was confident in this. If everything went according to his plan, he only needed to spend 3 hours in Washington, then he could achieve his objective.

***

There was a cold wave here in Washington, and there was a patter of cold rain.

The rain was not heavy, but there would be a bitter chill when it fell on the back of the hand, face, and ears. The fallen leaves were rustling down in the wind and rain of the autumn.

The surface of the statue on the square in the middle of the street also showed a gray color, which made people feel a chill down their spines.

Fang Linyan was wearing sunglasses and a windcoat, and he had already put on some makeup. He put his hands in his pockets while walking hurriedly just like the other passerby. About 600 meter in front, the No. 4 Exhibition of the National Museum was there.

Prior to this, he had been wandering around for almost 2 hours. First, to familiarize himself with the terrain, and second, to plan his retreat route.

At this time, everything was ready. Fang Linyan began to look for the homeless people around. This was the time of the financial crisis, so there were many homeless people. Fang Linyan intended to use the money to persuade them to go smash the showcase of the Mayflower Convention or to attract the attention of others. As for the reason, just simply say that they were betting with friends.

Because the perpetrator would at most be charged with “damaging public facilities” and the premise was being caught, Fang Linyan felt that at most 200-300 dollars were sufficient, and this was the fact. He paid 300 hundred dollars to successfully persuade a homeless man named Jack, and he easily persuaded his companions to do this together.

After Fang Linyan gave 100 dollar in advance, Jack and his companion Tom went directly to the nearby convenience store to buy a cup of hot coffee and 2 sandwiches and began to gobble up. Although they bared their teeth due to the heat, they gobbled it up. It could be seen that they had not been eating for a long time.

After barely filling their stomachs, they greeted Fang Linyan, picked up 2 stones from the side and put them in their pockets, and walked directly toward the No. 4 Exhibition of the National Museum.

As Fang Linyan had predicted before, the security here wasn’t tight. There was no one outside the museum, and there was only the middle-aged security guard lazily leaning on the railing with a cigarette in his mouth.

Needless to say, there were very few people in the No. 4 Exhibition; there were only an old man, a couple, and 2 tourists. The blonde lady among the couple looked pretty. Although she was holding her boyfriend, she was still winking secretly at Fang Linyan. It was obviously highly likely that she was a bitch, but Fang Linyan also smiled back at her.

After getting near, Fang Linyan saw a flickering scroll in the No. 4 Exhibition in the southeast. He was shocked at first. Soon, he discovered that the flickering light was projecting directly at his retinas. The others couldn’t see it at all. This should be the specially marked mission item.

Therefore, he also pretended to be a tourist and deliberately walked over once. After reading carefully and determining that it was the “Mayflower Convention”, he pretended to turn and leave. However, before leaving, he lifted up the wind coat’s collar. He stood in front of the exhibition cabinet for 10 seconds before walking away slowly.

This was the secret sign agreed upon before. This meant that the target was confirmed and the 2 people he paid could make a move now.

So simple? The difficulty doesn’t seem to be on par with the other milestones…
