They had come to Indianapolis this time for Pacers Storage Company, a warehouse located at the border of the city .
Li Du didn't understand . In any case, Dahntay Jones was a basketball player with an annual income of a few million . Why didn't he rent a better warehouse for these sneakers? For instance, those smaller storage companies that target household users .
Pacers Storage Company owned a few hundred warehouses . Its service targeted the masses, and the warehouses contained all kinds of items . This kind of warehouse was not suitable for storing high-value items .
The warehouse was located beside Indianapolis Motor Speedway . This race track was massive—the Indianapolis 500 was held annually here .
Every year, at the end of May, this speedway became packed with a sea of people . During that time, the number of spectators exceeded 450,000 people .
This time, twelve warehouses would be participating in the auction . Li Du found out about the warehouse numbers through Kobe: they were warehouses 220 and 221 .
Li Du would have actually still been able to find them even if Kobe hadn't share this information with him .
The little bug searched all twelve warehouses; only 220 and 221 were entirely stored with sneaker boxes . These boxes were densely packed and piled up in these two warehouses—there were probably more than a thousand pairs of sneakers .
Li Du reckoned that there would be quite a few people who knew about this information . Without a doubt, Kobe had to have known this information through some NBA players .
The other treasure hunter had their own connections . The storage company certainly knew about the sneakers . They just wanted to generate profit, so that is why they took the initiative to spread this information .
This was not illegal . As long as the storage company did not reveal the brand names, and merely described the appearance of the boxes, then that would be enough to attract many treasure hunters .
The little bug flew in and out of the boxes for a quick look . The sneakers were new and consisted of a few brand names, including Nike, Jordan, Adidas, Reebok, Under Armour, etc . There were also Chinese brands such as Li-Ning and Anta .
The sports industry here was well developed, and Americans had a strong interest in sneakers . Many of them loved collecting shoes . Thus, exclusive models of shoes had become very costly .
For instance, every Christmas, all the big brands would release Christmas sneakers for their own sports star . On top of that, they would also release an exclusive version with the star's autograph . These shoes were even more expensive .
Li Du did not understand this sneakers trend . He had no knowledge of the value of each sneakers model . He only knew that the ones with autographs were more valuable .
The autographs on the sneakers were very sloppy . He could only recognize a few of them . There was one interesting autograph, which was signed in Mandarin: Yao Ming .
Between these two warehouses, 221 contained more autographed sneakers compared to 220 . It was estimated that the storage mainly consisted of special edition sneakers .
Between these two warehouses, 221 contained more autographed sneakers compared to 220 . It was estimated that the storage mainly consisted of special edition sneakers .
Aside from these two warehouses, there was one other that was pretty decent . It had a race car—an unusual race car .
This race car was only a model about one meter in length . The unique feature of this race car lied in its material: it was comprised of small wooden sticks .
Li Du turned back time with the help of the little bug's ability . He realized that this material was not a bunch of ordinary wooden sticks but matchsticks .
The creator was a middle-aged man . He removed the match heads and kept the remaining matchsticks . He glued the matchsticks together and then used a small knife to carve the piece into the desired shape . At last, the car was created .
Once this car was placed in a house, it was absolutely a fine piece of decoration . Although it was a minor piece of construction, the final product was exquisite and perfectly replicated a real race car .
It could be seen that this was the creation of a race car enthusiast . In Indianapolis, similar artwork was pretty common . There were a lot of crazy race car fans who would also construct this type of stuff .
Li Du wanted this race car, but not for himself . He had a feeling that it would be a great gift for Frances .
He'd previosuly organized an event for Bruce . Frances had donated the Batman motorcycle at no cost, so he had to repay this huge favor .
Furthermore, after looking at this DIY matchstick race car, he thought of another item of his own: the Ferrari-watch-motorcycle he'd bought from the flea market in Australia .

These little cars had been put aside when he got them . He did not bother with them and had actually forgotten their existence until now . The truth was that they were exquisite works of art, and also very appropriate gifts .
In that case, he decided to take a shot at this warehouse and to gift this matchstick race car—along with his little Ferrari—to Frances . The fact that he owned many watch-motorcycles meant he could gift another one to Christian Bale .
All the preparations were ready except for one crucial item .
He could scan all twelve warehouses easily with his current ability . In terms of energy, there were no issues at all . Even after studying all these warehouses, his mental condition was great .
Then Hans, Brother Wolf, and he went to the speedway nearby to experience the local's craze for racing culture .
This speedway was the place of interest in Indianapolis . It covered a huge area and was packed with tourists . Hans went to buy the tickets . Then, the three of them queued up and entered .
First, they went the Hall of Fame museum . There were 75 race cars on display in there, and most of the cars had been driven by champions .
Besides that, there was an enormous glass trophy in the hall . This trophy had been gifted from Tiffany's; it weighed about 500 lbs and its height was almost equivalent to a human being . People could take photographs next to it .
When they were done with the tour, they continued the adventure by indulging the culinary delicacies .

Indianapolis was a famous city farm . It was for this reason it had been dubbed "Big Farm . " It contained many agricultural and grazing lands for farming . Thus, it naturally produced many farming and animal products . It also had been nicknamed, "Hometown of Corn . "
They happened to be in the suburbs of the city . Many farmers' markets were located here . Products in these farmers' markets consisted of fresh pork, mutton, vegetables, cream, butter, as well as other non-staple food . These products could be purchased and then later brought to a restaurant to be prepared into a meal .
Just like Australia's seafood restaurants, these farm-to-table restaurants also had their own distinguished feature . The locals loved it as the food was fresh and affordable .
Hans asked some friends for recommendations and they gave him the name of a restaurant: "Make a Pig of Yourself!" This was not only the restaurant's name, but also the reality once inside . The boss and employees of the restaurant were all massive, truly the result of making pigs of themselves .
The three of them sat down . A fat teenager, who was about 300 lbs, came over and placed three huge beer mugs on their table . He poured something into the mugs .
It was the locals' homemade soda, Anxious Root Beer . The weather was sizzling hot and the soda was iced . As the soda was poured into the mug, fog appeared on its surface .
Hans handed over the purchased goods to the waiter . The waiter suggested the cooking method and the payment method . He also introduced a few of their specials . They ended up ordering a whole lot of food without even noticing .
After placing the order, Hans became depressed . "This is way too much . How are we supposed to finish this much without Godzilla and Big Quinn?"
The fat waiter laughed, "Brothers, good food, good life! Eat hard, guys . Make a pig of yourself!"
