Chapter 14: Upgrading the Treasure Pot
As soon as his palm was empty, the interface of the Treasure Pot began to change.
In the blink of an eye, the length, width, and height of the space in his consciousness doubled, and the volume increased eightfold!
[Treasure Pot]
[Function: Storage Space 12*12*12]
[Upgrade Required Wealth Points: 4000]
[Function: Item Duplication*1]
[Upgrade Required Wealth Points: 10000]
The wealth points required for the next level upgrade have doubled.
Without stopping, Lin Shi picked up four gold bars to continue upgrading the space.
Then eight bars.
Sixteen bars.
After using a total of thirty 1000g gold bars and upgrading four times in a row, the storage space had transformed into:
[Treasure Pot]
[Storage Space: 96*96*96]
[Upgrade Required Wealth Points: 32000]
[Function: Item Duplication*1]
[Upgrade Required Wealth Points: 10000]
The area of the space had expanded to over 9000 square meters, with a volume of nearly 90,000 cubic meters.
It was equivalent to the size of a museum.
Translated into the size of a standard shipping container, it was equivalent to more than 29,000 containers stacked together.
Such a vast space was now more than sufficient.
Now, there were ninety one-kilogram gold bars and three 500-gram gold bars left for upgrading.
Lin Shi picked up ten gold bars this time, filled with anticipation.
"Upgrade item duplication."
As soon as the words left his mouth, the gold bars in his hands disappeared.
The numbers on the interface quickly flickered until they stopped.
[Treasure Pot]
[Storage Space: 96*96*96]
[Upgrade Required Wealth Points: 32000]
[Function: Item Duplication*4]
[Upgrade Required Wealth Points: 20000]
It really increased the number of times!
And it increased by three times at once!
This means that as long as he continues to upgrade, he can gain more duplication times.
Lin Shi's eyes gleamed with excitement; if he could pull off this trick a few more times, wouldn't he be able to infinitely upgrade the Treasure Pot?
But soon he calmed down.
Going to the bank to buy gold bars and then sell them back, once could be seen as a young person not knowing the business and losing money.
Doing it again would definitely raise suspicion.
Secondly, the duplicated gold bars could not be used for upgrades and were not easy to sell.
Now, every citizen's account in Xiaguo is under the surveillance of the state, and a large influx of unexplained funds would quickly attract the attention of the relevant authorities.
Apart from the original 25 million, any more money would not be able to see the light of day.
Not to mention spending it.
He upgraded the Treasure Pot to prepare for the arrival of the extreme cold apocalypse.
If he wasted valuable time accumulating supplies just to upgrade the Treasure Pot, it would completely go against his original intention.
Moreover, the apocalypse is the best time to collect gold!
Within a month after the apocalypse, a large area of the world's animals and plants died.
Human food became scarce, and at that time, a few breads could be exchanged for a one-kilogram gold bar.
No one would care about those gold and silver jewelry that couldn't feed or clothe them.
After thinking it through, Lin Shi directly placed his hand on all the remaining gold bars and continued to upgrade item duplication!
As the gold bars under his hand quickly disappeared, the numbers on the Treasure Pot interface flickered continuously.
Until the gold bars completely disappeared, the Treasure Pot interface had changed to:
[Treasure Pot]
[Storage Space: 96*96*96]
[Upgrade Required Wealth Points: 32000]
[Function: Item Duplication*22]
[Upgrade Required Wealth Points: 58500]
Lin Shi was ecstatic, and a smile appeared on his face.
A total of 22 duplication times!
According to the current upgrade pattern, the next item duplication upgrade, he would get 24 duplication times!
But that's all a matter for after the apocalypse.
The most important thing now is to stock up on supplies.
At this time, Lin Shi had 320,000 left.
He needed to sell the gold bars he withdrew from the bank to recoup his funds.
Considering that the gold bars had just arrived today, Lin Shi decided to sell them at the bank two days later, which would be safer.
Since that's the case, he would deal with another batch of gold bars that couldn't see the light of day.
Lin Shi first found a manufacturer of high-frequency heating equipment in Haishi online and drove there to buy a small gold melting machine for 20,000 yuan.
Then he went to another factory and spent over a thousand yuan to buy a few crucibles for holding melted gold bars and gold bar molds,
After taking them back to the warehouse, he started to operate.
Melting, casting, and shaping.
It was not until three in the morning that the 60 one-kilogram gold bars were all processed into 180 gold bars of various sizes by Lin Shi.
Lin Shi had already figured out how to deal with these gold bars.
There is a pawnshop on the eastern outskirts of Haishi.
On the surface, it is a pawnshop, but in reality, there is a gang inside the pawnshop that smuggles all kinds of contraband, and they buy and sell everything.
Lin Shi knew this because after the apocalypse, the pawnshop still existed.
It is said that someone once exchanged several hundred jin of rice for a 54 pistol.
Lin Shi decided to take five kilograms of gold bars to check it out tomorrow.
If it's just a rumor, he can also exchange these gold bars for cash.
After putting all the gold bars and tools into the space, Lin Shi ended the day's work and fell asleep.
...
"Huff, huff, huff."
With rhythmic breathing, Lin Shi slowly stretched and stretched his body, and the next second, he slapped out with a sudden palm.
Then gently retract.
Sometimes still like a virgin, sometimes moving like a hare.
The action is like flowing water, similar to Tai Chi, but a little different.
This is an exercise method designed by scientists in Xiaguo in the previous life to allow humans to better survive in extreme cold.
It requires a certain level of physical fitness to start practicing.
After a few days of basic exercise, Lin Shi felt that his body's flexibility had improved a lot, and his strength and endurance had increased a lot.
He began to try to practice this set of exercises called "Resonance."
In the previous life, scientists speculated that after the outbreak of the geomagnetic storm, a magical substance appeared in the air due to changes in the Earth's magnetic field.
This substance can greatly improve the physical condition of organisms after being absorbed by organisms.
And the evidence is that as long as the animals and plants survive the first three years of the apocalypse, they all start to mutate, and their blood and muscles contain this mysterious substance.
The size of the surviving animals is getting larger and larger, and a few plants can grow in the snow layer at temperatures below zero for dozens of degrees.
But this substance has a minimal effect on humans, except for making humans more resistant to the cold, there seems to be no other obvious change.
So in the sixth year of the apocalypse, scientists and martial artists jointly developed this set of exercises.
And in the sixth year of the apocalypse, it was popularized among survivors.
This set of movements can accelerate the absorption of this substance by humans.
In the previous life, Lin Shi practiced for two years, and even without a down jacket, he could stay outdoors for two or three hours in extreme cold.
At that time, it was said that some people in the army could reach the level of unlocking genes.
I don't know if it's true or not.
With a set of movements completed, Lin Shi felt his body was hot.
He took a bath, went out for a hearty breakfast, and drove to the eastern suburbs.
