70 Storage rights (1/2)

When Xu Xianchu returned to the hollow, he saw Wang Lei inspecting his wound. He asked Ren Xiaosu, ”Do you still have any of that medicine?”

With Wang Lei acting as the guinea pig, Xu Xianchu knew well how important that black medicine was. If he sustained any injuries in the wilderness, his survival chances would greatly increase as long as he had the black medicine with him!

”No,” Ren Xiaosu instinctively replied.

”I'll pay you for it…” Xu Xianchu said.

”In that case, I still have a little,” Ren Xiaosu replied. If it were for something else, he would probably not be willing to exchange it for money. After all, there was no use for money in the wilderness. However, the black medicine was different.

But Ren Xiaosu suddenly thought of a problem. ”Haven't you run out of money?”

Xu Xianchu said, ”There was money on those three that you two killed, so I took it from them.”

Ren Xiaosu suddenly felt such a heart-wrenching pain that he couldn't breathe. He was too inexperienced! How could he not have searched the bodies?! How could he have made such an amateur mistake?!

So it turned out that Xu Xianchu had gone outside to search the corpses just now. This guy was too good at waiting. He was afraid it would be dangerous during the night, so he waited until dawn before going outside.

Ren Xiaosu said resentfully, ”That isn't your money! It's clearly my money! You have to at least share half of it with me!”

Xu Xianchu gave it some thought and said, ”Money is of no use for me here. As long as you give me the black medicine, I'll give all of the 8,000-plus yuan on me to you.”

When Ren Xiaosu heard that those three had more than 8,000 yuan with them, the pain in his heart grew even greater.

However, Ren Xiaosu carefully sized up Xu Xianchu. 'This guy really isn't greedy for money?' He took out the bottle of black medicine, which was now half-used after it had been applied on Wang Lei, and handed it to Xu Xianchu. ”Money, please.”

”Here.” Xu Xianchu took all the money out and handed it to Ren Xiaosu. He even purposely turned his pants' pockets inside out to prove that he had no money left on him.

Ren Xiaosu nodded in satisfaction. Although he did not know Xu Xianchu well, it felt like he was rather sincere through his actions on the journey thus far.

And when Ren Xiaosu took the money from Xu Xianchu, the voice from his palace said, ”It has been detected that the host is carrying 20,000 yuan in cash. Basic storage rights have been unlocked for purchase.”

When Ren Xiaosu treated Wang Lei's wound, Wang Lei paid him 1,200 yuan. Then Luo Xinyu handed 10,000 yuan to him for his help. And now, he received a further 8,900 yuan from Xu Xianchu. Added together, Ren Xiaosu's cash on hand reached 20,100 yuan.

But Ren Xiaosu was astounded this time. Before this, he had been very anxious to unlock the palace's storage function, but the palace never once told him how to gain access to it.

He had guessed that he might have to complete a certain quest or side quest that was similar to unlocking the weapon.

But never could he have imagined he would have to spend his own money to unlock the storage! 'As a virtual palace, why would you need money?!'

Ren Xiaosu had never saved more than 10,000 yuan in his entire life before. But now that he had received close to 10,000 yuan from Xu Xianchu, he was going to have to spend it all again. This really felt like going back to square one.

He had no choice but to spend the money! Ren Xiaosu knew very well how important it was to have a storage space in the wilderness. He clenched his teeth and said to his mind palace, ”Purchase it!”

”Purchase successful. You've unlocked basic storage rights.”
