Chapter 58 Where does this staircase lead to? (Overhaul)
The two men and the tiger were stunned when they heard the voice.
Shi Jiaojiao frowned. Absorbing energy?
She remembered that the last upgrade page had indicated that the energy in the Golden House had been exhausted.
Is it absorbing energy now?
But why is it 20%?
Also, what exactly did the Golden House absorb?
Shi Jiaojiao was confused.
She and Mu Ci looked at each other, neither of them understood.
She closed her eyes and used her consciousness to check the entire space. After checking everywhere, she found that there seemed to be no changes.
wrong!
What's that corner?
Shi Jiaojiao took a closer look and found that there was indeed something extra in the corner of the wall. It looked like a staircase?
How is this possible?
She would enter the Golden House almost every day, and she was very familiar with its structure. She could tell the direction even with her eyes closed.
How could there be a staircase in the golden house?
Where do the stairs lead to?
Mu Ci looked at Shi Jiaojiao with a worried look on his face and asked, "What's wrong?"
Shi Jiaojiao pulled Mu Ci to the corner, pointed at the extra staircase, and said, "Brother, look."
Only then did Mu Ci notice the changes in the golden house.
Because Shi Jiaojiao is connected to the golden house, she can easily scan the entire space with her consciousness.
And he himself must rely on his eyes to see.
Mu Ci frowned and looked at the half-stairs.
The stairs are not high, but very exquisite.
There are carvings on the handrails and carpets on the stairs.
But going further up, it was covered by a vast expanse of white fog.
I had no idea what was up there or where the stairs led to.
Shi Jiaojiao frowned and tried to go up the stairs, but was stopped by Mu Ci.
"Be careful, there is danger."
Shi Jiaojiao looked at Mu Ci's disapproving expression and didn't continue.
But she didn't expect that Mu Ci, who had just given her instructions, would walk straight up the stairs.
Shi Jiaojiao shouted anxiously, "Brother, why are you..."
But she found that nothing unexpected had happened.
Then he became a little unhappy, "You just warned me that it was dangerous, and you tried it again."
After saying that, she followed him up the stairs.
Mu Ci smiled and explained, "You are the owner of the Golden House. If anything happens to me, you can save me in the first place."
Shi Jiaojiao was still unhappy, "What if I'm too late?"
Mu Ci looked at Shi Jiaojiao's expression and quickly admitted his mistake, "I was wrong this time. Please be more careful next time, okay?"
Shi Jiaojiao turned her head away, not wanting to pay attention to him.
His behavior shows that he doesn't take his life seriously at all.
The two walked to the top of the stairs. The fog in front of them was so thick that they couldn't see what was on the other side of the fog.
Shi Jiaojiao sighed and could only go down with Mu Ci.
The Golden House absorbed 20% of the energy. Will it automatically upgrade when it has enough energy?
Shi Jiaojiao told Mu Ci her idea.
After listening to this, Mu Ci looked at the stairs and nodded slightly, "It's possible. Look at the carvings on the stairs and the carpet. They are obviously the same type as the furnishings in the living room."
Shi Jiaojiao was a little bit unbelievable, "What do you mean?"
Mu Ci hummed, "At this length, it's more like the stairs that come with the villa."
Shi Jiaojiao was pleasantly surprised. "Then when the golden house absorbs 100% of its energy, will this place turn into a large villa?"
Mu Ci chuckled, "It's possible, but now the question is what did the Golden House absorb?"
Shi Jiaojiao also fell into deep thought. Yes, until now, she still didn’t understand how the Golden House absorbed the energy, let alone what it absorbed.
But there is nothing missing from the warehouse. Apart from these, where else can it get the supplies?
The two of them thought carefully while clearing the dishes on the table.
Suddenly, Shi Jiaojiao thought of something and looked at Mu Ci.
Obviously, both of them thought of it.
"It's that container, right?" Shi Jiaojiao asked.
Mu Ci nodded, "I think so too. Apart from this, there should be nothing else."
But even though they knew that it was a container that was absorbed, the two had no idea what was in the container.
Shi Jiaojiao was a little overwhelmed. Couldn't this Jinwu explain things more clearly?
…
Time passed, and the government released good news.
To welcome the Spring Festival, freshly made multi-grain cakes will be distributed free of charge.
Everyone had a happy face. Although their lives were not that good, when compared with those in foreign countries, they instantly felt a sense of superiority.
As the New Year approaches, the street stalls that had disappeared due to insect infestations have reappeared.
The stalls were set up in a small square near the supermarket. In order to ensure the safety of the people, the army even sent several soldiers to take turns patrolling.
The safety issue has been resolved and the flow of people has gradually increased.
This is probably a tradition ingrained in the Chinese people's bones.
It’s okay to eat plain food on ordinary days, but you must have a good meal during the Chinese New Year.
Even if you can't eat, at least you have a full meal.
Shi Jiaojiao and three others also went downstairs.
Wang Jia and Tang Wei didn't lack anything, they just came out to join in the fun.
But Shi Jiaojiao has a goal.
Although I don’t know what Jinwu absorbed, she has read a lot of apocalyptic novels in recent times.
According to the novel, gold, silver, jade, and antiques are all possible.
I'll try changing a little bit today.
If you can get lucky by accident, collect a large amount quickly and let the Golden House absorb it.
Shi Jiaojiao couldn't wait to see the whole view of the stairs.
The four of them had just walked to the small square in a hurry when they were asked to leave, and everyone's face turned a little green.
It's a hot day and everyone smells bad. Especially now that water use is restricted, we have to use it sparingly even when drinking, let alone taking a shower.
When the breeze blows, the sour smell is overwhelming.
Shi Jiaojiao held her breath and pretended to take out a few masks from her bag and handed them to the four people.
Although it cannot completely block the smell, it is better than nothing.
After putting on masks, the guys looked better and started visiting each stall one by one.
There were quite a few people in the small square. Although it wasn't crowded, people would still touch each other when passing by.
Mu Ci half-hugged Shi Jiaojiao with his arm and tried his best to prevent others from touching her.
Shi Jiaojiao no longer had any time to be pretentious at this moment. She wanted to stick closely to her brother because the smell of other people was too suffocating.
Her eyes kept scanning the stalls.
Nowadays, there are all kinds of things on the street stalls, including unused household electrical appliances, brand-name watches, various jewellery, luxury bags and so on.
But no one was willing to spend food in exchange.
Now food is one’s life, who would be willing to exchange it for something that can neither be eaten nor drunk?
"Beauty, do you want to see my bags? They are all brand new. I bought them for my collection and never used them once. I can exchange them for a pack of instant noodles!"
"Skin care products are on sale now, all unopened. They used to cost 998, but now you can take them home for just two packs of instant noodles!"
"Does anyone want elementary school textbooks? We have them for every subject. No matter how hard life is, we cannot let our children suffer. No matter how poor we are, we cannot let our children suffer from education!"
