Chapter 624 The Fifth System Upgrade

Zhao Xian handed the letter to Li Xue and said:

"Currently, we have raised more than two million catties of grain and a large amount of silver, and we will send these supplies to the disaster area as soon as possible."

Judging from the donations from the villagers, Uncle Lizheng can still raise more than one million catties of grain.

The disaster situation is urgent, and we must send this batch of supplies to Xunzhou immediately. The next batch of supplies that we collect will be delivered by the village head.

We need to hurry and find merchant ships to transport these supplies to the disaster area. That way, the victims can receive the relief supplies in just four or five days.

Upon hearing this, Li Xue quickly spoke up:

"Brother Zhao, let's go find a merchant ship and hurry up and load the cargo. Hopefully, there won't be any heavy rain in the next few days, otherwise it will affect our disaster relief efforts."

Zhao Xian nodded and went with Li Xue to the dock to look for a merchant ship.

During this period, due to concerns about flooding, merchant ships did not load cargo and remained docked. As a result, Zhao Xian easily found a large number of merchant ships.

When the ship owners learned that Zhao Xian wanted to use their merchant ships to transport relief supplies to the disaster area in Xunzhou, they agreed without hesitation and offered to provide free transportation to ensure that the supplies would be delivered to Xunzhou as soon as possible.

The village has a fleet of transport ships, so when Wang Lizheng is transporting the next batch of supplies, he can use his own fleet without having to look for other merchant ships.

Merchant ships on inland waterways are not large, and more than two million catties of grain is no small amount; it would take at least a dozen merchant ships to carry it all.

Two days later, all the relief supplies were loaded, and more than a dozen merchant ships lined up in a row, which was quite impressive.

Zhao Xian plans to personally lead the team to transport this batch of goods to Xunzhou.

The day before departure, Li Xue told Zhao Xian that she would also be going to the disaster area by ship, which startled Zhao Xian.

"Princess, please don't go this time. The rainy weather continues, and the disaster in Xunzhou is still spreading. It's very dangerous."

"It's just a flood, what's so scary about it? No matter how great the risk is, it's not as great as the Yuanxi trip back then."

"Besides, Brother Zhao has a life jacket, so even if he falls into the water, it won't be a problem," Li Xue said.

Li Xue insisted on going, and no amount of persuasion could change her mind. Since that was the case, then let her go. As long as he took proper precautions, the princess's safety should be guaranteed.

Having decided to send Li Xue to Xunzhou, Zhao Xian prepared to upgrade the system for the fifth time.

After this upgrade, the system will offer more products for sale, and its own storage space will be expanded again.

That's not the main point. The key is that the upgraded storage space allows you to enter by yourself, and you can even bring two helpers in.

To date, Zhao Xian is still unclear about the operating mechanism of the system he possesses.

Overall, the system is quite user-friendly; if you have too many items stored in your storage space, it can be difficult to find them.

The system allows you to bring helpers in to sort the goods, and the items stored in the storage space are clearly visible.

Having the system is a personal secret and cannot be easily revealed. Even if others are allowed into the storage space, it is only done under duress to avoid risks, not to allow them to manage the goods for you.

If we encounter great risks while traveling to Xunzhou with Li Xue, we can take Li Xue into the space to escape the disaster.

But this would expose his secret, which was not a good thing for him. There was no way to save people without letting his secret be discovered.

Next, Zhao Xian began to consider the problem, but after thinking for a long time, he still couldn't find a good solution.

Let's upgrade the system first. After the upgrade is successful, go into the storage space and see how things go.

It was late at night, and with no one else around, Zhao Xian began upgrading the system.

There is a lot of silver stored in the storage space, with over six million taels of silver notes alone, which is more than enough for upgrading.

The system is very intelligent at this point. As soon as you have the idea of ​​upgrading, a system prompt will appear in your mind asking whether you want to upgrade the system.

Zhao Xian immediately made a choice, and the upgrade began. Instantly, five million taels of silver notes disappeared from the storage space.

I watched the system upgrade progress until the progress bar showed 100%, and the upgrade was finally complete.

At this moment, a brand-new system interface appeared in Zhao Xian's mind. It was clear that the number of goods sold in the system had greatly increased, and some of the goods were not suitable for this era.

This is an analogy for firearms. There are guided bombs available for sale, but at this time there is no satellite navigation, so even if you buy guided bombs, they are useless.

Putting all that aside for now, he wanted to see what the upgraded storage space was like.

An option appeared in Zhao Xian's mind: whether to enter the storage space.

Zhao Xian didn't want to enter the space immediately; he wanted to check the size of the storage space first, as this would be much more intuitive.

The upgraded storage space is the size of half a football field, several times larger than before. I used to store a lot of things in the storage space, but now it feels empty again.

Just as Zhao Xian was about to enter the storage space, the indicator bar in his mind reappeared, asking whether to enter the storage space.

This system seems to be intelligent; it can sense its own needs.

Zhao Xian was extremely excited. He wondered what it would be like to enter an unknown space. The storylines he had only ever heard of in fantasy novels were about to happen to him.

Feeling his own heartbeat, Zhao Xian made his choice.

The surrounding air seemed to fluctuate, and Zhao Xian was instantly transported to another space, still feeling dizzy.

Zhao Xian knew he had entered the system's storage space. It was like a large hall, and although there were no lights, it was very bright all around.

Zhao Xian looked around but found no entrance or exit. It was clear that this was a closed space from which there was no way to get out.

This aligns with my own judgment. If this space has an entrance and exit, then it's hard to explain. This space is privately owned, so there's no way for it to be accessed through other means.

Zhao Xian took a breath and found the air to be very fresh, almost like the air in nature.

Next, Zhao Xian began to walk around in the space. After walking around once, he found that the space was approximately circular.

Somewhere in this space, there is a row of shelves, with all the items piled up on the ground.

At this moment, Zhao Xian finally understood that the system would not help him organize his items. If he had too many things stored in his storage space, he would need to organize them and place them on the shelves in different categories.

No wonder the system allows you to bring helpers in to organize the items.

When there aren't many items, you can place them anywhere in the space. But once you store too many items, it becomes too messy and difficult to find things, so it definitely needs to be organized.
