Chapter 475: Harvesting the Qingcheng Gang

The jade bracelet on Annan's hand has been upgraded along with the space. At first it was just a glutinous variety, but after many upgrades, it has become a veritable glass variety.

If it weren't for the two more touches of green after this upgrade, at first glance I would have thought it was a large transparent glass band on my hand.

Annan looked at the changes in the jade bracelet and couldn't wait to enter the space to test it.

So he hurriedly urged: "Let's speed up the progress, collect everything and hurry back to the space to test the upgrade effect."

Gu Zhiyu nodded: "Okay."

Afterwards, the two men and three pets stopped acting in unison and searched one house each, and soon all the houses in the alley were searched.

There was nothing good in the residences of those team leaders, deputy team leaders, and deputy hall masters, only a pile of stinky socks that had not been washed after being worn, which made the rich and powerful disgusted.

Annan curled his lips and said, "This lady boss is really cunning and stingy. She holds all the good things in her hands, while her subordinates have nothing but some useless little rights."

Soon, the only thing left in the alley was the last three-story building. Seeing that it was locked tightly, Annan guessed that this should be their warehouse.

When the two people and three pets flashed in and took a look, they saw that the room was indeed piled high with supplies.

Various foods and messy and not-so-clean drinking water were stored in the small rooms on the first floor.

In the lobby, there are all kinds of winter clothes, and even small accessories like hats, gloves, and scarves.

It is estimated that because of the extremely cold weather these days, they went out to search in a hurry and did not have time to sort them out properly, so everything was piled here in a mess.

Annan looked at the clothes and sighed, "This lady boss has a narrow mind!"

The younger brothers from the other two halls were obviously not dressed warmly enough. They were from the same gang, but the proprietress kept so many thick clothes and only kept them for her own Yunyin Hall.

The loyalty and support of the other two hall masters to her were in vain.

Annan sighed twice, collected some food and clothes that were of good quality, and then went directly to the second floor.

The reason why they collected some winter clothes was that they could sell them at a high price at the official base and exchange them for points. When they moved there in the future, the points would be the currency circulated in the official base.

The remaining food, drinking water and winter clothes were the way she left for other survivors.

To Annan's surprise, the second floor was full of fuel.

It seems that the Qingcheng Gang is indeed the largest gang in the local area, and it can even monopolize so much fuel.

Thinking about it this way, the lady boss is really too idle. She is clearly sitting comfortably with so many good things, but she has to go to the inn in person to cheat and deceive people.

You must have hit her rock bottom!

Now these good things are all cheap for her.

Annan waved his hand and collected all the fuel into the space. This thing is now a strategic material, the more the better.

After collecting the fuel, the group went to the third floor. There was nothing special here, just some daily necessities and some instant foods.

Annan collected them casually and was about to leave when Gu Zhiyu called him:

"An An, wait a moment."

She turned around and saw Gu Zhiyu squatting in the corner, groping for something on the ground.

Gu Zhiyu explained to Annan that he had just seen Fugui sniffing several times in the corner, so he came over to take a look.

There were several tiles that were obviously empty underneath, but he tried several times and found that he couldn't open them.

Annan raised his eyebrows, walked over, and knocked on it with his hand. It was indeed empty.

Since it is empty, there must be cat shit underneath.

However, as Gu Zhiyu said, this brick was not movable like the tunnel entrance they had seen before, but was firmly fixed and could not be opened at all.

Annan thought about it and took out a large iron hammer from the space: "Great force can produce miracles."

Gu Zhiyu took the hammer from her hand and said, "I'll do it."

After a round of violent hammering, the tiles were broken into pieces.

Gu Zhiyu returned the hammer to Annan, carefully moved away the broken tiles, and looked inside.

There was indeed a thin secret compartment inside, with a round object wrapped in red cloth. He was about to reach in to take it when Annan stopped him.

"I'll do it."

Although Gu Zhiyu reacted quickly, he didn't have the protection of space. It was safer for her to take action. If there was any emergency, she could enter the space in time.

Unexpectedly, after untying the red cloth, there was a large disc with a diameter of about 50 cm inside - made of jade.

It is old, with fine meat and plenty of water, and is definitely a high-quality product.

Annan's eyes lit up. He didn't expect that he would find something good before leaving.

But she didn't understand why this jadeite was placed alone in the warehouse when there were so many in the boss lady's room? And it was hidden under the floor tiles in the corner.

Judging from the way this floor tile is fixed, it seems that there is no intention to take it out again, and it is impossible for people to play with it under normal circumstances.

What does this mean?

Gu Zhiyu, who was standing by, guessed, "It must be a Feng Shui scheme set up by that woman."

Annan raised an eyebrow: "Feng Shui Bureau?"

Now that I put it that way, it does seem to make sense. It's in a fixed corner, wrapped in red cloth, and there seems to be some special pattern on the disc...

The proprietress even knows the art of fighting with dragons, so it's not surprising that she can set up a feng shui layout.

Gu Zhiyu hummed and said, "I've seen a similar arrangement at a business partner's house before."

Although he doesn't believe in these mysterious things and decorates his home according to his own preferences, Feng Shui is still very popular among other wealthy people in his circle.

Before settling down or setting up a new company, most wealthy people will hire a Feng Shui master to select a location and check the layout. They will also usually do some Feng Shui arrangements in the house.

He had seen and heard of many layouts, such as the Sun Layout, the Dragon Attracting Layout, and the Five Ghosts Bringing Wealth Layout. The most common layout method was to place fixed things in a fixed position.

Jade is inherently yin, so many of the homes he has seen use jade to arrange their feng shui.

The proprietress even placed a fortune-attracting crystal cave at the door of the two-story building where she lived. She must have believed in these things.

Annan held up the large jade disc and examined it carefully, and discovered that it was engraved with two beasts that looked like tigers and leopards, with heads and tails shaped like dragons and horns on their heads.

"What is this? A Qilin?"

Gu Zhiyu stepped forward to take a look, shook his head and said, "It looks more like a Pixiu."

“Pixiu?” Annan took another careful look and said, “It seems to be… I have only seen three-dimensional Pixiu ornaments, but I have never seen one carved into a flat pattern.”

After a pause, she understood: "So this is a layout to attract wealth?"
