Ren Xiaosu got back into the driver's seat and continued looking for the next gold shop. Of course, he wasn't doing this solely for the money. There was a deeper plan behind it.
This time, Ren Xiaosu was very familiar with entering the gold shops. He directly requested to exchange for depreciated banknotes. These gold shops did not have a lot of inventory, so on average, Ren Xiaosu could exchange about 500,000 yuan for two of the Yang and Qing families' banknotes.
But since he could exchange them for cash and gratitude tokens, as well as help the stronghold residents who were suffering from the war, this was killing three birds with one stone. So why not?
When he visited 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 still thinking of getting a Perfect Skill Duplication Scroll to use on Chen Wudi. After all, his disciple's superpower looked very strong.
Unfortunately, it was meaningless to use the Basic Skill Duplication Scroll on Chen Wudi. Other than his superpower, his disciple did not have any other outstanding abilities.
The moment the quest was completed, Ren Xiaosu counted the cash he had on hand. It was a whopping 5.41 million yuan. The stacks of money stacked in his storage space made him feel a little dazzled. It was as though the money was glowing.
How could he have imagined he would have so much money in the past?
"Let's go, Wudi. Let's find a restaurant to eat at." Ren Xiaosu said generously, "Go ahead and eat. Master will treat us. Everyone else, let's go together if you're not injured. We'll bring you food after we finish eating."
At this moment, it was not easy to find a restaurant to eat at. After finding a stir-fry shop, Ren Xiaosu went in and looked at the menu. He said, "Other than this, this, and this, order everything else!"
Chen Wudi said worriedly, "Has Master's mental illness gotten worse?"
But all of a sudden, the voice from the palace said, "It has been detected that the host possesses a large amount of money. Would you like to unlock a higher-level storage space?"
Ren Xiaosu was at a loss. The palace was really taking advantage of every opportunity. But it was still the same as before. Money should be used to buy things to strengthen himself. Even if he had so much money, he had nowhere to spend it. How could money that could not be spent compare to an actual storage space that he could carry?
Right now, his storage space was only 15 cubic meters. Sometimes, it wasn't even enough to carry supplies.
Ren Xiaosu said, "Unlock it! Wait … "
More than half of the money in the storage space had disappeared, and the space was expanding rapidly. Ren Xiaosu's heart ached. "How many levels did you unlock in one go?"
He had wanted to tell them not to unlock so many, but it was too late! Ren Xiaosu even suspected that the palace had moved so quickly on purpose, not giving him a chance to save any money.
The palace said, "Unlocking 240 cubic meters. Together with the original space, there's a total of 255 cubic meters. The total cost is 4.8 million."
16 cubic meters = 320,000 yuan.
32 cubic meters = 640,000 yuan.
64 cubic meters = 1.28 million yuan.
128 cubic meters = 2.56 million yuan.
After unlocking four levels, Ren Xiaosu was left with 610,000 in cash.
At this moment, the voice from the palace said, "Do you want to unlock the vacuum preservation function? The vacuum preservation area will cost 200,000 yuan. "
Ren Xiaosu's face darkened immediately. "Hehe, unlock."
"Do you want to unlock the Plant Planting function? Yes …"
"Unlock, unlock, unlock!" Ren Xiaosu got angry. "Why do you only care about money? Aren't you charging too many things?"
Ren Xiaosu realized he only had 10,000 yuan left. The Plant Planting function actually cost 400,000 yuan?!
What did it mean to go back to square one overnight? That was it.
When Chen Wudi saw Ren Xiaosu sitting silently at the dining table with his face turning red and blue, he asked, "Master, are you feeling unwell?"
Ren Xiaosu glanced at Chen Wudi before turning around and shouting at the boss, "Boss, I was just joking when I ordered the dishes just now. Please don't mind me. We'll just have a bowl of white rice each."
Chen Wudi was speechless.
Of course, Ren Xiaosu could not be that stingy. In the end, he still ordered a few dishes.
But halfway through the meal, the people from the Public Order Division suddenly pushed open the door and came in. They were dressed in the Public Order Division's uniform. The moment they entered, they said loudly, "Whose military truck outside belongs to? Someone reported that you've been exchanging large amounts of banknotes from other consortiums and secretly storing oxidized gold. Your gold must have come from an illegal source, right?"
Ren Xiaosu thought to himself that they had finally arrived. He raised his Office of Special Investigations ID and said to the people from the Public Order Division, "Come here."
The people from the Public Order Division were dumbfounded. How did they end up encountering the Office of Special Investigations' god of plague?!
The three of them walked over in trepidation. "Please don't mind us, it's just a misunderstanding …"
Ren Xiaosu said as he ate, "The Public Order Division is quite a busybody. Are you trying to embezzle my gold?"
The people from the Public Order Division were startled. They had indeed come here because they wanted to steal the gold. When the gold shop owner reported them, he had already said that the young man must still have a lot of gold on him.
But they did not expect to encounter the Office of Special Investigations' iron plate.
However, the people from the Public Order Division still smiled apologetically and explained, "We've always been in charge of such matters. You've misunderstood."
Ren Xiaosu said unhappily, "You don't have to worry about this anymore. Our Office of Special Investigations will handle this matter."
"Your Office of Special Investigations is in charge of such matters?" The people from the Public Order Division were stunned.
"That's right. In the future, whatever the Public Order Division can't handle will be handled by our Office of Special Investigations. Whatever the Public Order Division can handle, our Office of Special Investigations will even more so!" Ren Xiaosu said, "Go back and repeat my exact words to your boss."
The three staff members from the Public Order Division turned around and left. This was a serious matter. The Office of Special Investigations was trying to seize power!
But half an hour later, the restaurant's door was pushed open again. When Ren Xiaosu saw who it was, he was overjoyed. It turned out to be Nonsense!
Nonsense sat down across from Ren Xiaosu with a dark expression. When he saw Ren Xiaosu's calm demeanor, he got angry. "I've only just returned to the stronghold, and I've already heard that my Office of Special Investigations is going to take over the Public Order Division?"
Ren Xiaosu said with a smile, "Expand our business, expand our business!"
"You're looking for me, aren't you?" Nonsense said angrily, "Why are you looking for me? You're still in the mood to eat in the stronghold? Do you know that Li Qingzheng has already been captured by the secret forces and is on his way back to the stronghold? "
When Ren Xiaosu heard this, he fell silent for a moment. "When will they arrive at the stronghold? Where will they be held? And what's the situation with the mysterious troops? "
"The Li Consortium has gone crazy." Nonsense sighed and said, "That mysterious troops are most likely soldiers who are completely controlled by nanomachines. They're extremely powerful in combat. The Yang Clan's frontline troops immediately suffered a setback when the same mysterious troops were deployed to the battlefield at Mt. Qingsheng's front line. These soldiers aren't afraid. They're not afraid of death. "
Ren Xiaosu was stunned. "The nanomachines actually have such an effect?"
