Chapter 4 - Chapter 4: Attempting to Copy

Added an item copying function! Lin Shi's eyes lit up. Was it the copy he had in mind? He immediately started preparing to experiment. The number of copies is only three, so it cannot be wasted casually. After thinking for a moment, Lin Shi returned to the bedroom, opened the safe, and took out the most valuable thing in the house - five 500g gold bars left by his father, which he held in his hand.

Lin Shi whispered, "Copy the item." A golden light flashed in front of him, and the next second, five gold bars appeared out of thin air, falling from mid air and making a crisp sound on the ground. Lin Shi immediately squatted down and picked up the gold bars, placing them one by one on the table to compare with the gold bars in his hand. The size and weight of the five gold bars copied are exactly the same as those on the hand. Including a small flaw on one of the gold bars, it is also perfectly replicated.

Lin Shi glanced at the interface of the treasure trove, and the column for copying items on it had changed to 'Item Copy * 2'. The current international gold price is 430 yuan/gram, and pawnshop recycling gold prices will be 10 yuan lower than the market price. The gold bars in my hand are all left by my former father. Five gold bars can now be sold for 1.05 million yuan. After item replication, the treasure trove suddenly increased my assets by 1.05 million yuan.

Jubao Basin, this is the real Jubao Basin, "murmured Lin Shi. This incredible ability to accumulate wealth is definitely the legendary treasure trove. There used to be a legend about the treasure trove in the Xia Dynasty, with various versions. The most famous one is a person named Shen Wansan. Legend has it that Shen Wansan once coincidentally obtained a treasure trove, which could be filled with anything he put in. Therefore, Shen Wansan became a famous wealthy man in the Ming Dynasty, with wealth comparable to that of an enemy country. If there is no limit to the number of times the items in this treasure trove can be replicated, it is only a matter of time before one becomes wealthy enough to rival the enemy. Isn't this its complete form?

Lin Shi quietly stared at the ten gold bars in front of him, calming his fiery mood. Although I knew that restarting the replication process could potentially turn my ten gold bars into twenty, I only had two replicates left on the Treasure Chest interface. He doesn't know if the total number of these three times can only be activated three times or can be replenished. If it can only be activated three times, he must keep the remaining two times and use them at more critical moments.

In addition, it is rumored that Shen Wansan, due to his massive wealth, attracted suspicion from the emperor and ultimately died as a result. If one suddenly gains so much wealth, it is also likely to be targeted by the government. Thinking of this, Lin Shi decided to use the 5 replicated gold bars to upgrade the treasure trove.

He picked up one of the gold bars and silently recited in his heart, "Upgrade space." Suddenly, several red characters flashed on the interface of the treasure trove: "Copying items cannot be used for upgrading. Can't it be used for upgrading? Lin Shizai carefully examined the gold bar in his hand, which was no different from a regular one, and confirmed that there were no loopholes to exploit, feeling slightly disappointed. But this is also reasonable.

He picked up the gold bar he had previously taken out of the safe and silently recited, "Upgrade space." The number on the interface in front of him jumped and turned into:

[ Treasure Chest ]

[Function: Storage Space 3 * 3 * 3]

Upgrade requires 500 financial points

[Function: Item Copy * 2]

Upgrading requires 10000 financial points

A 500 gram gold bar can be exchanged for 500 money points, and one gram of gold can be exchanged for one money point. This was known by Lin Shi in his past life. If it's silver, only 100 grams can be exchanged for 1 money point. Lin Shi has consumed another gold bar, causing the interface to blur and upgrading the space

[ Treasure Chest ]

[Function: Storage Space 6 * 6 * 6]

Upgrading requires 2000 financial points

[Function: Item Copy * 2]

Upgrading requires 10000 financial points

The space has increased, even though the numbers have only doubled, the volume has already increased by 8 times compared to before! And the amount of money required for upgrading has also doubled. Two gold bars worth 420000 yuan were suddenly gone. If it were him from three years ago, he wouldn't even have the qualification to upgrade to a treasure trove.

Three years ago, Lin Shi's father passed away unexpectedly, leaving behind an inheritance and a high death compensation of ten million yuan. A treasure trove is something left to him by his father. In addition to the house and these few gold bars, he currently holds 14.52 million yuan in cash. This amount of money may not be a big deal in a wealthy market, but for a nineteen year old young person, it is already a huge sum of money. For Lin Shi, this amount of money is far from enough.

Upgrading to the next level of space requires four gold bars, which translates to 860000 yuan in cash, while upgrading item replication requires 4.24 million yuan. He also needs to stockpile a lot of supplies, build shelters, and require a lot of money. Lin Shi pondered for a while and came up with some ideas. He took out his phone, searched for the phone numbers of several real estate agents, and called them one by one.

Firstly, Lin Shi wants to sell his house near the city center. My previous life experience told him that in the extreme cold apocalypse, these high-rise buildings in residential areas are not suitable for living. Haishi has a flat terrain, prosperous economy, and dense high-rise buildings. However, this cannot keep the tens of millions of people in this city alive. Most buildings in the south have good heat dissipation and average cold resistance. At the end of the world, there are nine out of ten frozen dead in southern cities. The arrival of the extreme cold apocalypse will be in June. The average temperature in Haishi suddenly dropped from 20 ℃ -27 ℃ to minus 50 ℃ - minus 80 ℃. 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 destroyed by blizzards. In just one or two years, most of these high-rise buildings will collapse and collapse. Some people did not die from low temperatures, but died in collapsed buildings and houses. In my previous life, this building did not collapse, but the one next to it collapsed and subsequently toppled the building. Fortunately, Lin Shi discovered ahead of time and escaped unscathed. It is impossible to live in this lifetime.

This house has a great location, close to the city center. Over the past decade, the housing prices in the Xia country have skyrocketed, and the housing prices in the Hai market have also remained high. Even though Lin Shi's 128 square meter old house has risen to a high price of 80000 yuan per square meter, it is worth nearly ten million yuan. When selling a house, Lin only has two requirements: quick sale and full payment. These two requirements may seem difficult, but Haishi does not lack wealthy people. The bottom line price given by Lin Shi is 9 million yuan, and he clearly stated that he has contacted multiple intermediaries and does not care how much he sells. He only takes 9 million yuan. Whoever has the ability to sell earlier will receive the excess commission. These real estate agents will do their best to help Lin Shi sell houses for high commissions. Although time is tight, even if they only sell for 9.1 million yuan, they can still get 100000 yuan!

The intermediaries who obtained the house information have already speculated in their hearts whether Lin Shi is the kind of wealthy second-generation spendthrift. No matter how cheap the house is, it takes time to sell, so this is the first thing Lin Shi needs to do. The more money he needs for his next plan, the better.

The next plan is to use all assets to buy gold bars at the bank, double the gold bars with replication skills, and sell the replicated gold bars to the bank to retrieve the principal. And the remaining gold bars can all be used to upgrade the treasure trove.
