Seeing their unpleasant expressions, Old Man Chen secretly gloated and said, "Your ancestors are allowed to show their power, but our ancestors aren't? Our ancestors bestowed just as many gifts as yours."
Their ancestor was Black Bull's underling, how dare they accuse their daughter Er Ya of stealing?
Of course, he wouldn't say that; it would be too offensive.
An elder asked, "What else did your ancestors bestow upon you?"
Old Man Chen felt a pang of anxiety. There were many people in the Bai clan, but they received very little. Even the village chief only received a mineral water bottle, and many people received nothing at all.
Could it be that they're trying to take advantage of them and seize their things for themselves?
Old Man Chen bluntly stated, "The things bestowed upon us by our ancestors belong to us, and each of us should keep them. Don't even think about confiscating our treasures."
The elders' faces turned ashen upon hearing this.
Old Man Chen doesn't care; don't think he's afraid just because there are many of them.
In the end, these people were driven away by Old Man Zhou's anger.
Old Chen was a little worried because he couldn't sign in. He thought he could just plant a blade of grass, but he failed to sign in because the land was too dry and the plant couldn't survive.
The land was so dry that even grass couldn't grow. Then he went to the vegetable garden, took some easy-to-grow wild vegetable seeds, sowed them, and watered them, but it still failed because there was not enough water and the plants could not grow.
Old Chen was unwilling to give up. He gritted his teeth and painfully scooped up half a ladle of water to water the seeds, but the planting still failed. The reason was that the weather was too hot, the water evaporated easily, and the seeds could not maintain enough water to grow.
No matter how he tried to plant it, he failed, and finally Old Man Chen gave up.
One day, Chen Nong and Bai Chuan were playing in the sand by a dried-up river when suddenly two glowing orbs appeared in front of them. Before they could react, the orbs entered their bodies.
Shirakawa said, "Did I just see things wrong? There was something glowing, and it looked like it entered our bodies."
Chen Nong's eyes widened: "I saw it too."
No sooner had they finished speaking than a strange sound suddenly echoed in their minds.
"Host locked out of order. System binding successful. Would you like to spend one hundred taels of silver to activate the space system?"
"Host locked out of order. System binding successful. Would you like to spend one hundred taels of silver to activate the space system?"
"Host successfully locked, system successfully bound. Would you like to spend one hundred taels of silver to activate the space system?"
The two looked puzzled. What was talking?
Shirakawa looked completely bewildered and said, "I heard a strange voice. He's trying to scam me out of my money."
Chen Nong said nervously, "There are scammers trying to cheat us out of our money. Let's go home quickly."
Then the two kids ran home as if they were being chased by a ghost.
They only had a few copper coins, and they thought they could swindle them out of a hundred taels of silver? No way!
"Dad, Mom! A swindler is trying to cheat me out of my money!"
Chen Lao Er asked, "What happened?"
Chen Nong recounted what happened when the two of them were playing by the river.
After listening, Chen Kai felt there was something to it and asked curiously, "Brother, what did that voice say?"
Chen Nong: "Host successfully locked, system successfully bound. Would you like to spend one hundred taels of silver to activate the space system?"
After saying that, he snorted, "Trying to swindle my money? No way!"
Holy crap! Did I find a system?
Chen Kai asked, "You mean Shirakawa can hear that sound too?"
Chen Nong nodded, "Yes!"
Chen Kai: "!!!" The space was found by two brats? Are you kidding me!
Chen Kai quickly went to find Xiao Tian to ask what was going on.
When Chen Lao Er heard his eldest son's words, he felt that these strange words seemed familiar, and suddenly he remembered Da Hei.
Chen Lao Er said excitedly, "Good son, come on, I'll take you to find your grandfather."
In the lobby.
Old Man Chen looked at Chen Nong curiously: "You also had strange voices in your head?"
Chen Nong nodded. "Yes, he just spoke again. Did you hear him? He actually tried to cheat me out of money in front of so many people."
Chen Kai: "..."
With Dahei serving as a cautionary tale, people were less suspicious about Chen Nong being able to hear things others couldn't. Perhaps it was just the spirits of their ancestors appearing again.
Old Man Chen hurriedly asked Big Black, "Big Black, can you hear the voice that Chen Nong heard? Can you communicate with it?"
System: "No, Dahei cannot communicate with the outside world except for the host."
Hearing that communication was impossible, Old Man Chen was a little disappointed.
Zhou said, "Chen Nong, ask that voice what that space system is for and what its purpose is."
Chen Nong did as he was told: "Hey, can you hear me? What is that space system for? What is it used for?"
System: "Host successfully locked, system successfully bound. Would you like to spend one hundred taels of silver to activate the space system?"
Chen Nong said speechlessly, "He seems to be an idiot, he just keeps repeating that one sentence."
Chen Kai said, "It must not be open yet, so it can't reply. Dad, why don't you give him money and have him open the space?"
Old Man Chen hesitated, saying, "One hundred taels of silver is too expensive. If we activate it and that space system doesn't give us anything good, wouldn't we be at a huge loss?"
Chen Nong nodded in agreement, saying, "That's right, what if they're just trying to scam us out of our money?"
Chen Kai choked. If only he could take back the space, it would save them from complaining.
Chen Kai looked at Old Man Chen and advised, "Dad, Chen Nong's thing should also be a treasure bestowed by our ancestors. Look how powerful Da Hei is, that thing should be just as good."
To convince his family, he had no choice but to bring up his ancestors.
Old Man Chen was undecided. One hundred taels of silver was a lot of money, and opening it would cost so much. He was reluctant to part with it, but he also wanted the treasure bestowed upon him by his ancestor. If it was opened on Chen Nong, it would belong to their family.
After hesitating for a while, Old Man Chen said, "Alright then, I'll go back to my room and get the silver."
Not long after, Old Man Chen brought over a wooden box, carefully unlocked it, and found it full of gleaming silver.
Chen Kai said, "Chen Nong, try to activate the system by touching the box."
Chen Nong looked at his grandparents and his parents.
Zhou said, "Let's give it a try."
Chen Nong walked towards the box, touched it with his hand, and said with an expression as if someone owed him money, "Open it?"
Chen Kai wanted to punch Chen Nong because of his expression. This brat had taken over his space and dared to look down on him!
As soon as Chen Nong finished speaking, the silver in the box disappeared, causing everyone's hearts to ache. All that pure silver was gone just like that.
The system in Chen Nong's mind rang out: "Space system successfully activated. Congratulations to the host for obtaining 0.5 cubic meters of space."
