Chapter Fifty-Nine: An Astounding Fortune

【Host~】

Gu Zuozuo remained remarkably calm, waving her hand to store the jade snake in a space beyond the system's reach, and continued walking forward.

"Our ancestors also have a saying for you: 'If a person doesn't look out for himself, he'll be punished by heaven and earth.'"

Ha, if you want to get the treasure from her, no one but the country can!

After crawling into a hole that could only accommodate two people, the area of ​​the cave in front of them suddenly expanded, and the faint sound of flowing water could be heard.

[Iron Man... Ah... Host, be careful!]

The vines quickly formed a dense, impenetrable net in front of her, tightly binding the little creature that rushed towards her.

What did you just call me?

The system smiled obsequiously, its aura trembling so much it looked like it had Parkinson's disease.

"Host."

Gu Zuozuo gave a cold snort, successfully silencing the system.

"If you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll report you and make sure your dream of surpassing the 'Mary Sue' and 'Dragon Overlord' systems remains just a dream forever."

System: ...Its host is ruthless! As expected, the mastermind was right.

The more beautiful the female, the more dangerous she is, regardless of race.

The system dared not say another word, as if it had spoken a thousand words through its electronic face.

The little creature that attacked Gu Zuozuo was a fox cub. Its gray fur was a messy, tangled mess, and it looked so thin that it seemed like it hadn't eaten in a long time.

"Where did this come from?"

The question was answered when she took a detour.

The carcasses of one large and three small foxes were huddled in a corner, severely decomposed, with an unbearable stench lingering around them.

"Chirp chirp"

The fox cub, bound by vines and hanging in mid-air, suddenly began to struggle violently. It only stopped its panic when Gu Zuozuo put it down and quickly darted back to the adult fox.

How did they get onto this cliff face?

"Who knows?"

Seeing the little fox baring its teeth and claws at her in front of the big fox's corpse, Gu Zuozuo clicked her tongue, turned around and continued walking. She had no interest in a badly decayed fox carcass; she had enough fox pelts in her spatial storage to last her a lifetime.

After walking a few steps, Gu Zuozuo sighed helplessly and looked back at the little thing that was sneaking around following her.

"Don't follow me, I'm not interested in foxes."

Seeing its pitiful eyes and its tentatively outstretched little paws, Gu Zuozuo ultimately couldn't bring herself to harden her heart and left it a palm-sized piece of spirit beast meat and a bowl of low-grade spirit spring water.

She thought she understood King Zhou at that moment. Who could resist such a naturally adorable creature? Not to mention it wasn't even as big as a watermelon.

Ignoring the little thing, Gu Zuozuo quickened her pace. She had been away from the educated youth settlement for almost five hours, and if she didn't go back soon, people would become suspicious.

Have you ever seen rows of wooden crates neatly arranged together?

She saw it.

The system had already started screaming in her head without any rhyme or reason.

【Ahhh!! Yellow! So much yellow!】

Gu Zuozuo tore off the seal, and the moment she opened it again, she had already crouched down.

Just as she crouched down, a whooshing sound rushed past her head, and the bed slammed straight against the cave wall with a thud.

She said, "How could these things not be guarded? They were waiting here. If anyone comes and opens the box in their excitement, they'll be lucky to escape with their life."

[Host, the arrows have been tampered with.]

Gu Zuozuo pulled out the arrow stuck in the cave wall and brought it to her nose to smell it.

"Three steps to fall."

As the name suggests, those poisoned will die within three steps.

No wonder you're from the same family.

Gu Zuozuo raised an eyebrow. Why did that sound like such a nice thing?

Looking at the densely packed boxes in front of her, she finally understood why those people were so fixated on everything related to the Gu family.

Even when she went to the countryside and her parents went to the secret base, they couldn't escape their endless tricks.

The wealth before us certainly provides the capital to drive people crazy.

Not to mention the boxes and boxes of jade, pearls, agate, antiques, and calligraphy and paintings.

What's even more enviable are the boxes and crates filled with gold and silver.

[Tsk, if the Gu family hadn't been targeted and brought about their downfall, with all that wealth, they'd probably be a first-rate family by now, right?]
