This proves that the gold storage location in the basement is more than 20 meters above the ground, exceeding the effective sensing range of the system.

As Lu Jingye entered the password and fingerprint, the steel door slowly opened, and Lin Dong's heart began to pound uncontrollably.

Holy crap, 1.9 billion! I've never seen so much money in my life, no, in my two lives.

I can't wait!

......

The group filed into the entrance and walked diagonally down about 30 meters.

The cement steps along the way, illuminated by the fluorescent lights on the corridor walls, did not feel gloomy at all.

At the very end of the passageway, another thick steel door appeared.

Lu Jingye took out a thick, long key and finally opened the last door to the basement.

As the steel door opened, the nearly 200-square-meter basement space came into view under the bright fluorescent lights.

The scene was filled with hundred-yuan bills, stacked into bundles of square blocks about one cubic meter in size, each bundle tightly wrapped in two layers of transparent plastic film.

These hundred-yuan bills were neatly stacked in the center of the basement, like a glittering little mountain.

This is 1.9 billion? Holy crap, that's incredible!

The sight before them left Lin Dong speechless, and even Lao Niu and Mo Huan beside him couldn't help but exclaim "Holy crap, holy crap!"

These people had never seen such immense wealth in their entire lives.

On the other side of the basement, there were more than 20 large rosewood boxes neatly arranged. Without even looking, you could tell they were full of gold jewelry and calligraphy and paintings by famous people.

Lin Dong was completely stunned. Damn it, he's struck gold this time! All these things in front of him are now his!

Of course, Lin Dong didn't forget to activate his Black Gold System:

[Ding! 1.9 billion yuan of black gold has been converted, bringing your wealth balance to 2.22 billion yuan.]

In the blink of an eye, I went from a small-time millionaire to a multi-millionaire. This feeling is simply amazing!

[Ding! The Black Gold System's wealth balance has reached 2 billion. The system has automatically upgraded to intermediate level, and the effective conversion range of Black Gold has increased to 200 meters.]

[Ding! Two new special skills added: Loyalty and Spatial Gate.]

Special Skill 3: Loyalty, Beginner Level. Can consume wealth points to increase the loyalty of subordinates.

For every 1 million spent, loyalty increases by 1%. This cannot be increased for non-protagonist subordinates, nor for those with negative loyalty; it is recommended to eliminate them immediately.

This system's sixth-ranking member has even learned to offer suggestions?

However, there's nothing wrong with this suggestion. If you disagree, just kill. That's pretty good.

[Special Skill 4: Spatial Gate, Beginner Level. Grants a personal space of 100 cubic meters, allowing the collection and storage of supplies, which can be permanently preserved.]

This... even the space master has been arranged?

Damn, the system is being way too considerate this time!

(PS: When the story outline was designed, the Black Gold System had a special skill called "Heart of Taming" when it was upgraded to the intermediate level, which also increased the loyalty of its subordinates.)

I recently saw some reader comments, and surprisingly, some readers raised the issue of loyalty. On second thought, the name "[Heart of Taming]" is too corny; "[Heart of Loyalty]" would be more fitting.
