"What do you need that thing for?" Lin Shansheng scratched the back of his head, his eyes darting around. "Could there be jade here?"
"Let's look for it first, and we'll see what happens if we can't find it."
As Lin Chaosheng spoke, Lin Shansheng agreed. So the two of them began searching around.
Lin Chaosheng and Lin Shansheng took out the rice and flour one by one.
"Brother, I'll go take a look over there."
As Lin Shansheng spoke, he went to move the potatoes. "Wow, brother, look what else is down there? There are even squash and winter melon!"
“There are still some things we haven’t discovered yet,” Lin Chaosheng said with a smile. “We’ll have our fathers come up here sometime and sort all these things out.”
The two brothers searched intently, one after the other. After Lin Chaosheng carried away the last bag of rice, he unexpectedly discovered a cellar.
He reached out and knocked on it, only to find it was empty.
Lin Chaosheng was overjoyed. He thought to himself that this corrupt official must have embezzled more than just the people's grain.
Throughout history, which corrupt official hasn't embezzled some gold and silver jewelry to hide away?
Thinking this, Lin Chaosheng immediately opened the cellar door.
"Shansheng, you stay up here and keep watch. I'll go down and check."
As Lin Chaosheng spoke, he jumped down, still holding a torch in his hand.
Upon seeing this, Lin Shansheng immediately ran over and squatted down at the entrance of the cellar to look around, but from his angle, he could only see pitch blackness and his elder brother's torch.
"Big brother, slow down. If you need anything, just call me."
"Understood," Lin Chaosheng called from below.
Lin Chaosheng walked close to the wall, lighting a candle whenever he came across one.
Only after the last stick was pulled up and lit did I realize what a scene this was like.
Lin Chaosheng felt dazzled by the sight of gold and silver jewelry.
Some of the boxes were closed, but many others were open.
It was filled with various kinds of jewelry made of pearls, gold, silver and other precious stones, as well as many boxes of gold and silver ingots.
Even Lin Chaosheng couldn't help but swallow hard; he had never seen so much wealth before he died in his previous life.
Lin Chaosheng felt that even hesitating for a second would be disrespectful to money.
With a thought, he sent all those boxes of gold and silver jewelry into his spatial dimension.
"You'd better keep all of this safe for me, don't you dare swallow it!"
For the first time, the system felt speechless. It mechanically said, "Host, don't worry, our system only accepts jade. As for gold and silver jewelry like yours, we don't even look at it."
The strong disdain and sarcasm in his tone made it sound like a pile of junk.
"Alright, alright, I'll find you some jade right now!"
As soon as Lin Chaosheng finished speaking, all the gold and silver jewelry in front of him disappeared, and then the number of gold and silver jewelry appeared in his mind.
But Lin Chaosheng didn't have time to examine it carefully, because a large pile of jade artifacts appeared before him.
Wow, so many!
Lin Chaosheng ran ahead and picked up a string of jade pendants and necklaces, his eyes filled with admiration.
"Is this enough for you?"
Lin Chaosheng said happily, and before he could even speak, the system automatically put all the pre-made products into its space.
Then, as if a disc had stuck, it kept repeating: "System upgraded, system upgraded..."
He wasn't in a hurry, so he sat to the side and waited, pondering how to deal with the gold and silver treasures he had just acquired.
Although those pieces of jewelry were quite beautiful, they were made according to ancient styles. Wearing them out in this day and age would attract too much attention and might cause some trouble.
It would be better to pawn all of these when you have the chance to go to the city, and then buy some gold and silver jewelry to give to his wife and his mother.
Lin Chaosheng was happily thinking about it when the system's voice appeared the next second.
"Congratulations, host, the system upgrade is complete."
"Upgraded?" Lin Chaosheng's eyes lit up. "Can everything in the granary be put in now?"
"Of course, it can hold the contents of ten granaries, let alone just one."
Lin Chaosheng wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that after the system was upgraded, his tone of voice had somehow become more human.
"Okay, then let's automatically categorize these things in the granary, fill each category with 80% and put it into the space, and leave the rest for them."
"Alright, host, I'll install it now."
As soon as the system finished speaking, half of the grain in the cellar disappeared out of thin air.
Before Lin Chaosheng could react, he heard a terrible scream from above.
"Aaaaaah—there's a ghost!"
Lin Shansheng screamed, "Big brother, come out quickly! Big brother, are you alright down there? Something terrible has happened up there!"
Lin Shansheng's voice was filled with panic, and Lin Chaosheng slapped his forehead.
Oh no, he forgot about the Three Lives he left on it.
So many things suddenly disappeared into thin air, it must have frightened him.
"I'm coming up right now."
As he spoke, Lin Chaosheng climbed up the ladder in the cellar.
Upon going up, we indeed saw Mr. Lin covered in sweat, pale-faced, and with a look of terror in his eyes.
"Big brother, look! Look over there! So many things have suddenly disappeared!"
Lin Shansheng pointed to the spot where something was missing, his face filled with fear. "Is it really a ghost? We touched someone's things, and now they're angry. Should we hurry up and leave? If we leave any later, we won't be able to get out!"
Lin Chaosheng looked at him with amusement, and asked the system in his mind, "System, is there any way to make Shansheng forget what just happened?"
"Yes, we can erase his memory of those last few seconds."
"Okay, then let's erase it."
During the conversation, Lin Shansheng suddenly felt his mind go blank, as if he had forgotten something.
"Big brother..." Lin Shansheng looked bewildered. "What just happened? I feel like I've forgotten something."
Wow, it works so quickly?
Lin Chaosheng thought to himself, but didn't show it on his face.
"Nothing happened. I just went down to the cellar and looked, but I didn't find anything."
After saying that, Lin Chaosheng was afraid that he would ask some more questions, so he quickly said, "Let's report this matter to the brigade first and see how the brigade will deal with these grains."
"Yes, yes, brother, you're right. I'll go report to the brigade right away!"
“I’ll go with you. After all, we brothers found this place together. If you go and report it first, leaving me here, and some people with ulterior motives find out, they’ll definitely make up something about us, saying we’re secretly bringing things home. That wouldn’t be good.”
