She had weighed her options last night, which was why she handed over the silver. Even if she hadn't, Madam Qian would have exposed it, and she wondered how those people would have viewed her then.
She could have quickly stored it in her space, and no one would have noticed. However, after handing over the silver yesterday, she had gained a wave of gratitude, which was essential for her space's upgrade. Thinking about it that way, she hadn't lost out.
Moreover, she now possessed these three treasure chests. It was simply… time to open them!
Su Muqing raised the axe again and split open the locks of the other two chests.
Wow! It almost blinded her beautiful, large eyes! One chest was filled with silver ingots, and the other was filled with jewelry.
She carelessly dropped the axe, wiped her hands on her body, and then picked up a gold ingot. Its shape and size were similar to the silver ingots beside it.
It wasn't the traditional small gold bar. It was about as wide as her palm and about 2 centimeters thick. Not a large piece, but it felt heavy in her hand. She decided to call it a gold cake!
After placing the gold cake back, she quickly picked up a jade bracelet from the jewelry box. There were simply too many treasures; she was almost overwhelmed.
Looking at the bracelet on her hand, its translucency and color were almost like the bottom of a beer bottle! If she hadn't known that plastic and treated jade (B+C grade) didn't exist in ancient times, she would have thought it was broken glass.
Then there were the strings of pearl necklaces. Without artificial cultivation, having so many pearls of good quality was exceptionally difficult.
Not to mention the complete set of gold-inlaid agate hairpins, as well as some jeweled accessories she didn't recognize. Beneath the jewelry, quite a few copper coins were scattered. Beneath the copper coins were stacks of bank notes, each denomination being one thousand taels.
Good heavens! Was she striking it rich?
Su Muqing rummaged through the pile of jewelry for a long time. Why were they all such large pieces? These big gold bangles and gold hairpins… which wealthy household had these ruffians raided to acquire so much wealth?
Whatever! She was rich now! She recalled buying lottery tickets and scratch cards with her living expenses in her previous life, but not even a sound had come from them. This was the windfall luck she had accumulated over two lifetimes!
Su Muqing looked at the screen, which showed that she still needed 25% to upgrade her space to level three. She glanced at the chests and asked, "217, can this silver be used for upgrades?"
"Detecting. Responding to host, it can be used for upgrades." 217 quickly replied after a brief scan.
"Alright!" With that said, she directly took out a one-thousand-tael bank note and placed it in the item exchange area on the screen, thinking that one thousand taels should be worth ten thousand or so.
To her surprise… a large red X appeared on the screen! What was going on?
"Beep beep beep… This system only accepts physical currency, not checks! Please use gold and silver currency, host."
Su Muqing, feeling quite speechless, retrieved the bank note, folded it, and casually tucked it into her clothes. She then placed two gold cakes onto the exchange interface.
"Calculating, please wait…"
"Congratulations, host. Space upgrade successful. Current level: Level Three. Space Mall can now be unlocked. Upgrade rewards: Random Skill Card x1, Gacha Boost Card x2, Spirit Fields x2, Upgrade Gift Pack x10. Spirit Field growth cycle shortened to 24 hours."
As 217 finished speaking, the space underwent another change. It visibly expanded. Two more plots were added to the spirit fields, and the plants that had previously been green were now mature.
Alaskan traversed the spirit fields, gently sweeping with its little tail. Rows of crops were neatly arranged on the grass nearby. It ran back and forth, harvesting grains and vegetables.
No wonder 217 called it a thoughtful little helper. This was great!
217: "Does the host wish to open the Space Mall immediately?"
Su Muqing: "Open."
217: "Space Mall is opening… Opening successful. Please complete facial recognition for personal data calculation."
Standing in the designated spot, Su Muqing raised her head. A beam of light scanned her face, and then 217 informed her that facial recognition had been successfully recorded.
Su Muqing then looked at the large screen. The mall page was divided into several sections, and the content was quite rich. It was divided into six modules: Cultivation, Ancient Era, Beast World, Modern Era, Apocalypse, and Future.
At the top were her personal details. After the space upgrade, the two gold cakes remaining were directly converted into copper coin units. Her balance was 25,000 wen, which was 25 taels of silver. Her personal contribution points also stood at 193.
She first clicked on the Modern Era section. The large screen instantly changed. However, this… what was with this Pinduoduo-like mode? Was it reliable? Where would the address be sent?
If the delivery arrived directly at her tombstone in her previous life… that would be quite a challenge for the delivery person! (￢_￢) She couldn't think about it, she couldn't think about it. The more she thought about it, the more she felt like the delivery person would come back to haunt her!
Delivery Person: Are you a devil? What did I do wrong?
