Chapter 4: Item Replication
There is an additional item replication!
Lin Shi's eyes lit up. Is it the replication he was thinking of?
He immediately took action to test it.
There are only three replication times, so they cannot be wasted casually. Lin Shi thought for a while, went back to the bedroom, opened the safe, took out five 500g gold bars, and held them in his hand.
He whispered, "Item replication."
In an instant, a flash of golden light appeared. In the next second, five gold bars appeared out of thin air and fell from mid-air, making a crisp tinkling sound as they landed on the ground.
Lin Shi immediately squatted down to pick up the gold bars and placed them one by one on the table to compare with the gold bar in his hand.
The size and weight of the five replicated gold bars are exactly the same as the gold bar in his hand.
Even a small flaw on one of the gold bars is perfectly replicated.
Lin Shi glanced at the cornucopia interface.
The item replication column on it has become [Item replication *2].
The current international gold price is 430 yuan/g, and the gold price for pawnshop recycling will be 10 yuan lower than the market price.
The gold bars in his hand were all left by his father before. Five gold bars can now be sold for 1.05 million. With item replication, this cornucopia has suddenly increased his assets by 1.05 million.
"The cornucopia. This is a real cornucopia."
Lin Shi murmured.
With such an extremely powerful ability to accumulate wealth, it is definitely the legendary cornucopia.
There was once a legend about the cornucopia in Xia Country. There are various versions of the legend.
The most famous one is about a person named Shen Wansan. The cornucopia he obtained could fill it with anything and get a full basin.
Therefore, Shen Wansan also became a famous wealthy person.
If there is no limit to the number of times his cornucopia can be used, it will only be a matter of time before he becomes extremely wealthy.
Lin Shi looked at the ten gold bars and calmed his burning heart.
Although he knew that activating replication again could turn the ten gold bars in his hand into twenty.
But there are only two replication times left on the cornucopia interface. He doesn't know if the total number of three times can only be activated three times or can be replenished.
If it can only be activated three times, then he must keep the remaining two times and use them at a more critical moment.
Shen Wansan aroused the suspicion of the emperor because of his massive wealth, and this person died as a result.
If he suddenly has so much wealth, he is also very likely to be targeted by the country.
Thinking of this, Lin Shi planned to use the five replicated gold bars to upgrade the cornucopia.
He picked up one of them and silently thought in his heart, "Upgrade space."
Suddenly, several red characters flashed on the cornucopia interface:
[Replicated items cannot be used for upgrading].
It can't be used for upgrading? Lin Shi's pupils constricted as he looked at this gold bar that was indistinguishable from an ordinary gold bar.
Knowing that there is no loophole to exploit, Lin Shi was a little disappointed.
He picked up the gold bar that he had taken out from the safe originally and silently thought, "Upgrade space."
The numbers on the interface in front of him fluctuated and became:
[Cornucopia]
[Function: Storage space 333]
[Money points required for upgrade: 50000]
[Function: Item replication *2]
[Money points required for upgrade: 1000000]
A 500g gold bar can be exchanged for 50,000 money points. One gram of gold can be exchanged for 100 money points.
Lin Shi consumed another gold bar. The interface flashed, and the space was upgraded.
[Cornucopia]
[Function: Storage space 666]
[Money points required for upgrade: 200000]
[Function: Item replication *2]
[Money points required for upgrade: 1000000]
The space has doubled in size, and the money points required for upgrade have also doubled.
Two gold bars worth 420,000 yuan disappeared all of a sudden.
If it were him three years ago, he wouldn't even have the qualification to upgrade the cornucopia.
Three years ago, Lin Shi's father died unexpectedly, leaving behind an inheritance and a high death compensation of ten million yuan.
The cornucopia is something his father left to him.
In addition to the house and these few gold bars, he now also has 14.52 million in cash.
This amount of money is nothing in Haishi, a city full of wealthy people, but for a nineteen-year-old young man, it is already a huge sum.
For Lin Shi, this amount of money is still far from enough.
Upgrading the next level of space requires four gold bars, which is equivalent to 860,000 yuan in cash, and upgrading item replication requires 4.24 million yuan.
He also needs a lot of money to hoard a lot of supplies and build a shelter.
Lin Shi thought for a while and had some ideas.
He took out his mobile phone, found several real estate agent phone numbers, and called them one by one.
First of all, Lin Shi wants to sell his house close to the urban area.
The experience of his previous life told Lin Shi that in the extremely cold apocalypse, these high-rise buildings in residential areas are not suitable for living.
Haishi has a flat terrain, a prosperous economy, and dense high-rise buildings.
However, this cannot keep the tens of millions of people in this city alive.
Most of the buildings in the south are good at dissipating heat and generally average at keeping out the cold.
As a result, when the apocalypse comes, nine out of ten people in southern cities freeze to death.
When the extremely cold apocalypse arrives in June.
The average temperature in Haishi suddenly drops from 20°C - 27°C to -50°C - -80°C.
The reinforced concrete of those high-rise buildings will deform and crack under extreme freezing, and the beautiful glass windows with good lighting will be damaged by blizzards.
The foundations of high-rise buildings gradually turn into frozen soil and slowly sink.
In just a few months, most of these high-rise buildings will collapse.
Some people did not die from low temperatures but died in collapsed buildings and houses.
In his previous life, Lin Shi's building did not collapse, but the building next to it collapsed and knocked down this building along with it.
Fortunately, Lin Shi escaped in advance by discovering it in time.
Naturally, he cannot live here in this life.
This house is in a very good location, close to the city center.
In the past ten years, housing prices in the real estate market of Xia Country have soared, and housing prices in Haishi have also remained high.
Even for Lin Shi's 128-square-meter old house, the price per square meter has risen to a high price of 80,000 yuan per square meter.
That is, it is worth ten million.
Lin Shi has only two requirements for selling the house:
Sell it quickly.
Full payment.
These two requirements seem difficult, but there is no shortage of rich people in Haishi.
Lin Shi's bottom line price is 9 million.
And he clearly stated that he has contacted multiple intermediaries. He doesn't care how much it sells for. He only takes 9 million.
Whoever is more capable and can sell it earlier, the excess commission is theirs.
These real estate agents will do their best to help Lin Shi buy a house for the high commission.
Although time is tight, even if it is sold for only 9.1 million yuan, they can still get 100,000 yuan!
These intermediaries who have received the house information are already guessing in their hearts whether Lin Shi is the kind of prodigal son of a rich second generation.
No matter how cheap the house is, it still takes time to sell it. So this is the first thing Lin Shi needs to do.
His next plan requires as much money as possible.
The next plan is to use all his assets to buy gold bars from the bank. After doubling the gold bars with the replication skill, sell the replicated gold bars to the bank and get the money back.
And the remaining gold bars can all be used to upgrade the cornucopia!
