Although this amount of money is a drop in the bucket when it comes to upgrading, it's still a business with no initial investment.
It means you can make money just by doing a little bit of work, which is pretty good.
Suddenly, a white stone in front of Gu Sigou caught Gu Lili's attention.
Gu Sigou tried to kick the stone into the water, but it was too difficult, so he had to give up.
Gu Lili quickly stepped forward to check what it was.
Gu Lili looked down and the mechanical voice in her mind rang out again.
"Beep, ambergris, six thousand eight hundred taels!"
Gu Lili felt like her heart was about to stop; she was just too excited.
In my previous life, I had only heard of ambergris, which was the incense used by ancient emperors.
The price is even higher than that of gold, and they are sold by the gram.
This stuff is extremely rare and its fragrance cannot be replicated artificially.
It is said that this is the excrement of a sperm whale, and it takes decades of exposure to the wind and sun at sea for it to completely transform into ambergris.
Gu Erniu and his two companions did not notice anything amiss and continued carrying the buckets forward.
Gu Lili trembled as she squatted down, picked up a small shovel, and began shoveling the ambergris in front of her.
I didn't get to eat the big yellow croaker last time, so this time I have to pry off some ambergris no matter what, just to broaden my horizons.
In no time, Gu Lili pried off a piece the size of a baby's fist and held it in her hand.
Gu Lili then sold the rest of her goods into the system, earning a total of 5,500 taels, all of which were deposited into Gu Lili's system account.
Gu Lili glanced at her younger siblings walking ahead and decided to upgrade the system once again.
Having found the upgrade button, Gu Lili clicked it without hesitation.
Five thousand taels of silver were withdrawn from her account, but Gu Lili wasn't bothered by it.
"Beep, system upgrade!"
Gu Lili quickly reached out and opened the system to see what had been upgraded.
Upon inspection, I was surprised to find that the system had upgraded the storage function, and the product page had also been upgraded.
There were many new products, including boats, cars, and even helicopters.
Although the prices were all extremely high, Gu Lili was still very excited.
The next upgrade will cost 10,000 taels of silver, and Gu Lili is already looking forward to it.
She kept swiping the interface, carefully looking at the upgrades, completely unaware that her three younger siblings were slowly approaching her.
Gu Huanhuan was the first to notice Gu Lili's unusual behavior. When she turned around, she saw Gu Lili gesturing something in the air with her hands.
But there was nothing in front of her, so Gu Huanhuan quickly called out to Gu Erniu.
Gu Lili's system is only visible to herself, so it's normal that she can't see it.
Gu Erniu was also startled by Gu Lili's actions. Could it be that his sister was possessed by a sea monster?
My mother had told them before not to go to the beach, because there are sea monsters in the sea.
However, over the years, I haven't heard anyone in the village say that anyone has seen it.
After whispering among themselves, the three decided to use a boy's urine to drive the sea monster away from their sister.
Gu Sigou learned this method from Granny Yang.
The group looked at the bamboo tubes that others had thrown away on the ground. Gu Erniu picked them up and then led Gu Sigou behind the reef.
When he came out again, the bamboo tube in his hand was filled with yellow urine.
They watched as Gu Lili gestured, her face full of excitement.
He quickly and carefully carried the bamboo tube closer to Gu Lili.
Gu Lili looked up and saw Gu Erniu holding an unidentified liquid, about to splash it at her.
She quickly stepped aside, and in that instant, the urine spilled all over the spot where Gu Lili had just been standing.
Gu Lili smelled a strong odor of urine, and her brows furrowed instantly.
What the hell is that brat Gu Erniu doing, daring to splash me with urine?
"Gu Erniu, are you trying to die?!" Gu Lili roared.
Gu Erniu thought the sea monster on Gu Lili was about to go berserk, which was terrible.
None of the three expected the siren to be so powerful, managing to dodge their urine attack.
"Lord Siren, please spare my sister! If you must take a life, take mine instead!" Gu Erniu pleaded in terror.
Gu Lili then realized that she had been so engrossed in looking at the system that the three of them thought she was possessed by a ghost.
Gu Lili was both amused and exasperated. She quickly walked towards Gu Erniu.
Gu Erniu closed his eyes in fright, and Gu Huanhuan also trembled as she pulled Gu Sigou into her arms.
"oops!"
Gu Erniu's screams echoed across the entire beach.
"Gu Erniu, I was just chasing away a little bug in front of me, and you actually tried to piss on me! I'll beat you up!" Gu Lili shouted.
The whip in his hand struck Gu Erniu hard on the head.
After Gu Erniu's scream, a familiar feeling returned.
Only his own sister would beat him like that, so did they misunderstand?
So they almost peed on my sister just now!
No wonder my sister was so angry; it turns out she wasn't possessed by a siren after all!
"Hehe, sister, I didn't mean it, do you believe me?" Gu Erniu rubbed his head and said with a smile.
Gu Huanhuan and Gu Sigou realized they had made a mistake and kept their heads down, afraid that Gu Lili would beat them up too.
Gu Lili rolled her eyes, picked up the bucket in front of her, and walked forward.
"You know you're wrong, so hurry up and go home to cook for me!" Gu Lili said irritably as she walked away.
Hearing that Gu Lili wasn't angry, Gu Erniu and the other two hurried to catch up with her.
However, Gu Sigou got kicked in the butt by Gu Erniu.
"It's all your fault! What terrible idea did you come up with that made me get beaten by my sister!" Gu Erniu cursed.
The kick wasn't heavy, and Gu Sigou didn't feel any pain.
He retorted defiantly, "Wasn't it you who brought it up first? My sister was possessed by a sea monster, that's when I remembered the matter of boys' urine!"
......
As Gu Lili listened to the two bickering, the corners of her mouth unconsciously curved down.
It seems I need to be more careful when operating systems in the future, and not get too carried away.
Gu Lili thought to herself, if she saw someone gesturing wildly on the street, she would probably think they were crazy.
Gu Lili and the other three chatted and joked their way home. Once home, Gu Lili instructed Gu Erniu to go find some chives.
She kneaded the dough herself, preparing to make steamed buns.
She had already put the ambergris she had just shoveled into the system's storage space.
With this storage space, Gu Lili can easily stock up on whatever she wants in the future.
Gu Lili bought flour and yeast from her spatial storage.
I plan to steam a pot of oyster buns and give some to my neighbors and uncles who are building houses to try.
Especially Master Yuan, who happened to ask him to change the names of Gu Erniu and Gu Sigou today.
