280 Encountering Hu Shuo again (1/2)
Ren Xiaosu got back into the driver's seat and continued to look for the next gold shop. Of course, he was not entirely doing this for money. There was something more to his plan.
When Ren Xiaosu entered the gold shop this time, he bluntly asked to sell his gold for the inflated banknotes with a sense of familiarity. As these gold shops did not have that many bills on hand, Ren Xiaosu could only trade for an average of 500,000 yuan per shop with a mixture of Yang Consortium and Qing Consortium currency.
But since he could exchange for the currencies, receive gratitude tokens, and even help out the stronghold residents that were suffering because of the war, it was basically killing three birds with one stone. So why not?
When Ren Xiaosu finished visiting the tenth gold shop, the voice from the palace said, \”Quest complete. Awarded Basic Skill Duplication Scroll.\”
Ren Xiaosu was a little disappointed. He was hoping he could get a Perfect Skill Duplication Scroll to use on Chen Wudi. After all, his disciple's superpower looked really strong.
Unfortunately, it would be pointless to use the Basic Skill Duplication Scroll on Chen Wudi. This disciple of his had no other outstanding abilities other than his superpower.
The moment the quest was completed, Ren Xiaosu counted that he was left with 5.41 million yuan. The piles of money he hoarded in the storage space dazzled him a little. The money seemed to glow.
In the past, he could never have imagined he would have so much money.
\”C'mon, Wudi, let's find a restaurant to eat at.\” Ren Xiaosu said generously, \”It'll be my treat, so please eat whatever you want. Those of you who aren't injured can come along as well, but those who are injured will have to bear with it. We'll bring back some food for y'all after dining.\”
However, they could not find a restaurant even after looking around for a while. When they came to a sit-down restaurant, Ren Xiaosu went in after looking at the menu and said, \”I want everything on the menu except for this, this, and this!\”
Chen Wudi said, sounding worried, \”Has Master's sickness gotten worse?\”
But at this moment, the voice from the palace suddenly said, \”It's been detected that the host is carrying a large amount of money. Confirm unlock of higher tiers of storage rights?\”
Ren Xiaosu felt the pinch. The palace was really seizing every opportunity to use up his money. But he still stuck by what he had said before, that money was meant for purchasing things to strengthen himself with. After all, there was nothing else that he could use the money on for now. In that case, how could money that couldn't be used be worth more than having a portable storage space?
Currently, he only had 15 cubic meters of storage space, which wasn't even enough to store his supplies sometimes.
Ren Xiaosu said, \”Unlock! Wait…\”
However, he saw more than half of the money he had in his storage space suddenly disappear. Meanwhile, the storage space expanded rapidly. Ren Xiaosu's soul ached as he asked, \”How many storage tiers did you unlock in one go?\”
He had wanted to tell the palace not to unlock so many tiers of storage space, but it was too late! Ren Xiaosu even suspected that the palace was deliberately doing it quickly so that he would not have the chance to save any money!
The voice from the palace said, \”240 cubic meters have been unlocked at a total cost of 4.8 million yuan. On top of the original storage space, the host now has access to a total of 255 cubic meters.\”
Unlocking 16 cubic meters of storage space: 320,000 yuan.
Unlocking 32 cubic meters of storage space: 640,000 yuan.
Unlocking 64 cubic meters of storage space: 1,280,000 yuan.
Unlocking 128 cubic meters of storage space: 2,560,000 yuan.
After unlocking a total of four storage tiers, the cash Ren Xiaosu had left on hand was only 610,000 yuan.
Then he heard the palace say, \”Confirm unlock of the vacuum preservation function? A vacuum preservation area will be zoned out at a cost of 200,000 yuan.\”
Ren Xiaosu's expression darkened in response. \”Hah, unlock.\”
\”Confirm unlock of the plant cultivation function? A—\”
