"Why don't you get some more sleep?"

Gu Chengyan sat next to Lin Jiuyue and asked in a low voice, afraid of waking up Lin Qiye.

Lin Jiuyue frowned, but still expressed her concerns.

"Gu Chengyan, do you feel that the weather is a little strange?"

Gu Chengyan nodded.

"Something's definitely not right, but there's nothing we can do about it, right?"

Lin Jiuyue pursed her lips and was silent for a moment.

"After daybreak, we must hurry on our way. I always feel that the weather is not right."

It's been a long drought. And then there's been days of heavy rain. It's still July, and the weather has suddenly turned cold. There's something strange about this.

Although Lin Jiuyue has a space, people are social animals after all. She can't let herself and Qiye stay in the space all the time, right? Wouldn't she be bored to death if she did that?

"Well, there are still two hours left. We will set off as soon as the sun rises. We will try to reach the outskirts of Beijing as soon as possible."

Lin Jiuyue thought so too.

There were so many people fleeing famine along the way. Fortunately, I had the space and strength to keep walking along the mountain road. Otherwise, I might have been exposed to the wilderness by now.

"Go to sleep for a while, I'll call you when it's dawn."

Lin Jiuyue shook her head.

"I can't sleep, you go to sleep, I'll call you when the time comes."

The three of them didn't get a good night's sleep during the two days of rain, but Lin Jiuyue still couldn't sleep at all.

After hearing this, Gu Chengyan no longer refused and lay down beside Lin Qiye with his eyes closed to rest.

The entrance of the cave was slightly blocked by branches used by Lin Jiuyue and the other two.

In the early morning, a ray of light came through the gaps between the branches.

Gu Chengyan opened his eyes and nudged Lin Qiye beside him.

"Qiye, get up."

Lin Qiye rubbed his sleepy eyes.

"It's dawn? So soon?"

"Well, get up and pack up, we have to hurry."

After saying that, Gu Chengyan began to fiddle with his bow and arrow.

After Lin Jiuyue packed up the mule cart, the three of them quickly headed towards the capital.

We didn't stop along the way and finally arrived at the city gate before dark.

If the mule cart hadn't been moving a little slowly, the three of them would probably have started heading towards the next city by now.

"Are we ahead of those refugees?"

Lin Qiye said happily.

In the past, every time I arrived at a city, I would encounter a lot of refugees. But today is different from before, there are not many refugees to see.

"That's probably it. Let's go ask around and see if we can get through the city."

There were not many refugees, and the guards at the city gates were not that strict.

After Gu Chengyan finished speaking, he led the mule cart and walked ahead.

Lin Jiuyue and Lin Qiye, brother and sister, followed behind.

"If we can get into the city, can we replace this mule cart with a horse carriage? This mule cart runs too slow."

Lin Jiuyue looked at the mule cart with some disgust.

It was fine before as they were walking and dodging the refugees, but now the three of them were walking ahead of the refugees and wanted to travel at full speed, so this mule cart was not enough.

"Let's see what the situation is."

The three of them paid the entrance fee and began to inquire about the news once they entered the city.

"Gu Chengyan, let's split up as before. You go and change the mule cart into a horse carriage, and I'll take Qiye to get more supplies. We'll meet up at the city gate when the time comes."

It would save time if they acted separately. Gu Chengyan thought about it and nodded in agreement.

"Okay, then we should split up and move quickly. I just heard that a small number of refugees have arrived here. We need to leave before the large number of refugees arrive."

Lin Jiuyue responded.

After separating from Gu Chengyan? Lin Jiuyue gave the money for purchasing supplies to Lin Qiye and asked Lin Qiye to buy supplies. He himself, like before, looked for opportunities to sell the things in the space.

After selling all the things in the space this time, plus what I sold last time, the space should be able to be upgraded to another level.

Thinking of this, Lin Jiuyue was in a very good mood.

Lin Jiuyue has already experienced the benefits of space upgrade once, and is still looking forward to this space upgrade.

With the experience of the previous two times, Lin Jiuyue quickly sold the things in the space, and at a high price.

When he got the silver, Bubble was even happier than Lin Jiuyue himself.

"Master, Master, we have enough spatial experience to upgrade. When will we upgrade?"

Lin Jiuyue also smiled when he learned that the space could be upgraded.

"Bubbles, this upgrade shouldn't cause any big commotion, right?"

Bubble's head shook like a rattle.

"No, generally speaking, there won't be any big noise when upgrading. However, there are exceptions sometimes. But our space is only at level two right now, so even if there is some noise, it won't be that big."

Lin Jiuyue felt relieved after hearing this.

"Since there's no movement, let's upgrade."

After saying that, Lin Jiuyue handed the silver to Paopao and asked Paopao to arrange the upgrade.

He controlled the silver bubble with his mind and looked at the silver in front of him as if he had seen some treasure.

"Silver, lots of silver."

Lin Jiuyue: ...

"Master, this space upgrade requires one thousand taels of silver. Once you've made up your mind, you can't go back on your word."

Lin Jiuyue rolled her eyes at Bubble.

However, it does feel a bit sad to say it.

Previously, upgrading from level one to level two only cost ten taels of silver, but now upgrading from level two to level three costs one thousand taels of silver. So how much silver would it cost to upgrade from level three to level four?

Thinking of this, Lin Jiuyue, who was about to say "I'm not short of money", swallowed the words back.

"Um, Bubble, how much silver does it cost to upgrade from level 3 to level 4?"

Lin Jiuyue swallowed nervously, fearing that Bubble would say an astronomical number and scare her again.

Bubble glanced at Lin Jiuyue. He seemed a little worried about scaring her. He hesitated for a long time and didn't speak.

"Well, Master, let's take it one level at a time. If you want to reach level four, you still have a lot of work to do. Let's not think about things that far ahead for now, ah!"

When Lin Jiuyue heard what Bubble said, her heart sank.

Judging from the tone of Bubble's voice, it would probably cost a lot of money to reach level four.

"How much do you want? Just tell me straight away."

Bubble gritted his teeth and muttered quietly.

"Add two zeros."

Lin Jiuyue: ...

Add two zeros? Paopao definitely didn't mean adding two zeros to the ten taels of silver. So, to upgrade from level three to level four, five zeros are needed? Wouldn't that be one hundred thousand taels of silver?

Oh my goodness, one hundred thousand taels of silver!

The weight alone must be 10,000 kilograms. How spectacular would it be to have 100,000 taels of silver placed in front of you?

A spectacular scene of one hundred thousand taels of silver placed in front of Lin Jiuyue suddenly flashed in his mind, and he frowned as he thought about it.
