After waiting for a few seconds for ventilation, Chi Xingyue came to the secret room under the guidance of Ling Jiheng.
This secret room was large, at least sixty square meters. The boxes inside were neatly stacked, even covered with a thin layer of dust.
Ling Jiheng opened the one closest to him, and the glittering golden ingots inside instantly blinded Chi Xingyue's eyes.
My goodness, it's so shiny. Even if it's not as pure as gold in later generations, it's still money. And everyone likes money.
"Put this in your sleeve. It will be the capital for our future life."
Chi Xingyue nodded and took the box inside. Curiously, he opened the other boxes and found that most of them were filled with gold and silver. The rest were either pearls or jade.
Ling Jiheng looked at his wealth and sighed, "They're all top-notch, but it's a pity I can't take them with me. Pick out the ones I like and take them with me. When the world is settled, I'll come back to collect them."
Chi Xingyue also had this idea. He took out a box from the corner of the wall, rummaged through the box, picked out a few pairs of jade bracelets with excellent water content, and picked up dozens of pearls the size of longan.
As for headwear, she also likes it, but the space is limited and she can't take them all.
After thinking for a moment, she picked out a pair of rubies and put them away. She pursed her lips and greedily took the string of imperial green beads beside her: "Are these okay?"
Ling Jiheng chuckled: "Okay, you have good taste."
Chi Xingyue breathed a sigh of relief and put the box into the space. However, the moment the box was put away, the contents disappeared.
Chi Xingyue felt a sharp pain in his head, his eyes went dark, and he almost fell down.
"Xingyue, what's wrong with you?"
Chi Xingyue shook his head, his face pale and a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.
Ling Jiheng picked up Chi Xingyue and carried her sideways, preparing to go to the clinic to see the old doctor. However, just after taking two steps, someone grabbed her by the collar.
Chi Xingyue's eyes were extremely bright, and even her face had a slightly rosy complexion.
"Ling Jiheng, my space has been upgraded!" In his excitement, he even forgot to address the other party as the Second Young Master.
Ling Jiheng acted as if he didn't hear it. He touched Chi Xingyue's head and breathed a sigh of relief when he was sure that she didn't have a fever.
"You act like this, and I'll mistakenly think you're attracted to me."
Chi Xingyue smiled and moved Ling Jiheng's hand away, making sure that the physical contact wouldn't cause her to harbor any inappropriate thoughts about him. After all, their engagement was tainted with interests.
Ling Jiheng nodded, put the person down, and asked about the space.
Chi Xingyue then realized that he had spoken out of turn, but after a few seconds, he felt relieved.
"It's just that the area has gotten bigger. It's very, very big, probably as big as two or three study rooms. It can hold a lot of things!"
Just when he was about to faint, Chi Xingyue's consciousness was pulled into space.
An electronic screen appeared on the wall of the private room, with two lines of words written on it:
[Space Soul Binding Progress 0.1%]
[Level 1 space upgrade progress 5%]
No other explanation.
The disappearing jewelry told Chi Xingyue that its space was a "gold-eating beast" and could be expanded as long as good things were put into it.
For example, now, the door of the private room is open, and the cafeteria outside comes into view. Although it is only 60 or 70 square meters, it is tall and more than enough to accommodate this secret room.
What's more, the upgrade progress is only 5%, and it's only level 1. This shows that her space has great potential. As long as the right methods are used, it may be upgraded to a small world.
Chi Xingyue thought secretly that she was not greedy, as long as her Nanshan Village was returned to her.
Ling Jiheng stared at the little girl's face and was dazzled by her happy smile.
He felt an itch in his heart and wanted to pinch the other person's cheek, but when he thought of Chi Xingyue's "warning" just now, he gave up this dangerous idea.
Remind Chi Xingyue: "Put the things away first, there are other things to do."
Chi Xingyue nodded, but said: "The space upgrade requires energy, which means it will swallow those jewels."
His voice got lower and lower, fearing that Ling Jiheng would be unhappy. But Ling Ershao just raised an eyebrow and said, "It doesn't matter. As long as we have gold, we can buy more when we run out of it!"
Chi Xingyue smiled and put all the boxes in the secret room into the space. When he came out of the secret room, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.
"Do people in the South also say 'make'?"
Ling Jiheng was stunned for two seconds, then smiled and said, "I learned this from a northern businessman. It feels very vivid."
Chi Xingyue raised an eyebrow: "Really?" But he didn't get to the bottom of it.
Because she is more interested in what the space will become.
When I probed my consciousness inside, I found that the jewels in the box disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye. Then the kitchen appeared, the corridor appeared, the office building appeared, and the village committee compound appeared.
Even the cars in the yard were there.
Everything looked just like the Nanshan Village Government. The roses in the flowerbed at the entrance swayed in the sunlight. Chi Xingyue gently touched the flowers with her mind and could almost smell their fragrance.
Although it is not as boundless and does not contain billions of supplies as the golden fingers of other time travelers, this area is also very good for storing supplies and escaping famine.
Not to mention, before Chi Xingyue traveled through time, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the village committee warehouse was full of benefits prepared for distribution to the staff.
Rice, noodles, sugar, oil—everything was available. Mooncakes, fruits, and a wide variety of other items were also available. Plus, the space could automatically restock, so even if Chi Xingyue did nothing for the rest of his life, he could still be a wealthy, salted fish.
However, the space stops rising here.
Chi Xingyue glanced at the display screen in the private room, which read:
[Space Soul Binding Progress 2%]
[Level 1 space upgrade progress 100%]
In other words, relying on the jewels to provide energy was no longer effective. If she wanted to completely bind the space to her, she had to think of other methods.
Chi Xingyue was both happy and sad about this result.
She was happy because the existing space was sufficient and she could still stock up on a lot of shiny treasures. But she was sad because such an easy upgrade method was gone and she didn't know what the price would be for the next level.
By the way, can't this space have an instruction manual? It's not user-friendly at all!
She complained in her heart but didn't show it on her face. She was always smiling, and when she saw that Aunt Chen hadn't returned yet, she pulled Ling Jiheng aside to talk in private.
"Let me tell you, the space upgrade is complete. It's as big as this house. There's still a small portion of your jewels left, but they're all of average quality."
Ling Jiheng raised his eyebrows: "Is there any way to make it continue to expand?"
"I don't know, I can try it later. But this area is enough, let's buy some more things to stock up!"
Ling Jiheng had the same intention, but he was not as upright as Chi Xingyue.
Having heard that there would be a major flood in the south of the Yangtze River soon, I have already started planning to open up the several farms in Kaixian County.
They're all at odds with the Ling family, and I heard the royal family is behind it. Let Jinbao find out, and if possible, it'd be best to take it over.
But he didn't say this out loud, wanting to maintain a good image in the little fairy's heart. He took Chi Xingyue to the wing room to collect the supplies delivered by the merchant in the morning.
