Chapter 31: Getting Rich Overnight!



Upon clicking the system link, Lin Mo's smile vanished.

The system displays: [The Diamond Master Key has a 100% success rate in opening all types of locks. Required points.]

[Platinum Master Key has a 50% chance of opening all types of locks. Requires 5000 points.]

The Golden Master Key has a 30% chance of opening all types of locks. Requires 3000 points.

The Silver Master Key has a 15% chance of opening all types of locks. Requires 1500 points.

"What the hell?!" Lin Mo almost laughed in anger.

Is this the legendary gamble within a gamble?

I only have 2353 points, which can only be exchanged for a silver key with a 15% probability. And I have no idea what's behind this secret room.

After thinking for five seconds, Lin Mo made a decisive decision: "Screw the system, I'll switch!"

When I, Lin Mo, was in junior high school, I would spend 50 cents to buy a bag of sunflower seeds and win a prize. I kept winning until the shopkeeper closed down!

This incredible luck is even more amazing than the winner of the 220 million yuan welfare CP prize in Nanchang.

Panic?

It doesn't exist!

[Ding, redemption successful!]

Current points: 853.

"Xu Chu, step aside, I'll handle this!" Lin Mo said.

Then, he took out the key he had redeemed from the system from his pocket, strode forward, and inserted the key into the lock.

"Your Highness, where did you get your key?" Xu Chu asked in surprise.

"Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask!" Lin Mo replied rudely.

Everyone fell silent!

The flammable material used to attack the Greedy Wolf Mountain stronghold was enough to shock them; by comparison, the key was hardly surprising.

With a nervous heart, Lin Mo gently turned the key.

"I mustn't let you down at this crucial moment!" he thought to himself.

With a "creak," the keyhole moved!

Lin Mo's anxiety subsided.

After the keyhole was fully opened, Lin Mo exerted force, and the door resisted for a while before slowly opening inward, but the creaking sound it made was frighteningly loud.

The iron gate opened completely, and Lin Mo and the others walked in with excitement.

"Your Highness, it seems there's no gold or silver treasure!" Xu Chu said, sounding slightly disappointed.

Indeed, the first thing that catches the eye is several old, large wooden crates, covered in dust.

Before Lin Mo could speak, Xu Chu picked up his double axes and swung them violently, splitting the wooden box in front of him open.

"Damn, what if there's nothing inside, and the wooden crate is ruined!" Lin Mo thought. "Even though the crate is old, at least it can hold some things!"

Sigh, it looks like all those 1,500 points are going down the drain!

As expected, after Xu Chu split open several wooden boxes, he only found some broken copper and iron, some moldy ancient books, and some copper coins that were about to rot.

"Damn it!" Lin Mo couldn't help but curse.

Seeing this, Qin Zhixing's face turned completely red. "This doesn't make sense!" he muttered to himself, "It's impossible that there's nothing at all!"

"Your Highness, let's go. We shouldn't stay here any longer!" Zhao Zhen suggested.

Although he felt helpless, Lin Mo could only nod in agreement.

"No, wait a little longer, it's impossible!" Qin Zhixing insisted, "Please allow me to search again."

"What are you looking for? There's nothing in this lousy place!" Xu Chu said unhappily.

"No, impossible! There must be other mechanisms!" Qin Zhixing shook his head, fiddling around with his torch. "They've deployed all their forces on the mountain; they must have ample supplies!"

In this dimly lit, spacious, and tall room, Qin Zhixing paced back and forth as if possessed.

Suddenly, he felt something touch his back.

As he turned around, he discovered that a sharp, tooth-like object had bitten Qin Zhixing's coat, hooking the leather and tearing a large piece off.

"This is it!" Qin Zhixing exclaimed excitedly.

Then he reached out and twisted the fang.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

After a loud bang, a hidden door was flung open.

"Your Highness, I told you there was a trap!"

Lin Mo was overjoyed, "Quickly, go in and take a look!"

After they entered the hidden door, what they saw before them filled them with immense excitement.

On the left side of the room was a pile of silver coins taller than a person, and on the right side was a pile of glittering gold.

In the very center were piles of burlap sacks.

“It must be grain!” Qin Zhixing said.

As he spoke, he stepped forward and used his single-edged sword to cut open one of the sacks.

"Splash!" Rice was flowing out!

"Haha! It's really grain!" Xu Chu laughed loudly. "And this silver, it must be at least a million taels!"

Lin Mo glanced at it and figured there were at least one million taels of silver and around thirty to forty thousand taels of gold.

If an individual were to acquire this wealth, they would never have to worry about food or drink for the rest of their life.

But now Lin Mo is the King of Shu, with tens of thousands of soldiers to support, and this amount of silver is far from enough.

The annual tax revenue of the Great Xia Dynasty is approximately 20 million taels of silver. The silver and gold in front of us combined amount to only the annual tax revenue of one province.

"Your Highness, I will immediately send men to remove these items!"

"Transport it? To where?" Lin Mo asked back.

His idea was to leave the silver there.

First, the road to the mountain is rugged, making it very difficult to transport silver down the mountain.

Secondly, this place is a sealed room, so it's very safe.

Finally, moving it to Xichuan City would require finding a warehouse to store it, which would be too conspicuous! The amount of silver wasn't a large sum, but it wasn't small either. Moving it openly like this might lead to a leak of information that would reach the chieftain's ears.

If those chieftains get malicious ideas and come to rob us, it will be a real problem!
