"Dad! It looks like the Xu family can only sell off some medium and small enterprises that are not making money. Even if we go back to a trillion market value, we have to do this first to ensure the Xu family can survive!" Xu Yaowei suggested.
Xu Daqiang frowned at this, remaining silent. He was concerned about his reputation and didn't want to give up so easily; he hoped there were other ways!
"Dad, what are you thinking?! The situation is really critical now. The Jiang family has caused problems for us other families in getting loans from the bank. Our previous large project investments have also suffered losses. At this critical moment, with the Jiang family's issues, the projects we were working on together are also facing losses! This situation is beyond what we can bear right now!"
Every word from Xu Yaowei stung Xu Daqiang, but he was still a bit hopeful. He believed there was still a chance with the bank and other company matters!
Seeing their father's silence, the other brothers understood his stance. But ultimately, this was a decision for their father to make; their shares combined couldn't match Xu Daqiang's single share, and their authority in the company didn't compare to his!
Xu Daqiang was capable, but at his age, he struggled to grasp the concept of cutting losses at the right time!
Another late night, the lights in the Xu household were still on...
At midnight, Shang Yunyun was sleeping in bed when suddenly the system woke him up again!
"Ding! Congratulations, host! You've upgraded to Level 4. The system control panel is upgrading. Please wait a moment! The Universal Land is updating. Please do not enter the system space temporarily to avoid spatial disorder that could transfer the host to another parallel universe!!"
"Oh!" Shang Yunyun rolled over and went back to sleep. He knew that even if he stayed awake and stared at the system, it wouldn't help. He might as well adjust his state to the best before waiting for tomorrow when his parents returned to communicate with the system!
The next morning, the sky was clear, seeming to announce that today would be a good day!
After sending his parents off with the driver in a Mercedes, Shang Yunyun returned to his room and told everyone not to disturb him. He needed to catch up on his sleep and lay down in bed to chat with the system!
"System, is the upgrade complete?"
"Ding! Congratulations, host! The system has successfully upgraded to Level 4. A new function in the control panel has been unlocked, and other available functions have been refreshed!"
"Ding! Congratulations, host! The Universal Land has been upgraded again! Please observe the changes in the Universal Land yourself!"
Hearing this, Shang Yunyun was thrilled. The expansion of the Universal Land meant that the gold he had placed there, along with those super transport tools, the Divine Currency, and various quirky Earth specialties would increase!!
During this time, his gold had tripled, which excited him!
Originally, there were over forty tons of gold found beneath the auctioned land for space development. Before the system upgrade, Shang Yunyun had asked about the gold quantity, and the system said it was 120 tons!
And he had also accumulated billions in Divine Currency, but after buying land and companies, along with various expenses for his parents, he still had dozens of billions in assets!
Now that the system and the Universal Land had upgraded again, Shang Yunyun couldn't hold back and directly entered the Universal Land in the system space!
As soon as he stepped into the system space, Shang Yunyun was taken aback. The surroundings were completely different from before!
"What is this…" He looked around at the now vibrant Universal Land. A divine tree had grown to nearly 3 meters tall, flourishing with branches and leaves, and it even had small flowers blooming!
Originally, the Universal Land had just a bit of greenery, but after the upgrade, it had completely transformed. Countless lawns, rivers, and various strange creatures slowly appeared, leaving Shang Yunyun both terrified and amazed. In the system space, he could seemingly feel all the creatures' emotions and thoughts, which he had never anticipated!
"How could this happen? What is going on?"
"Host, the Universal Land is an invaluable treasure. I've told you before, compared to any system function key, the Universal Land is the true treasure. You're surprised because it seems you can feel the emotions and even thoughts of all the creatures on this land, right?"
"Yes! They seem to be afraid of me, and right now, there are just some strange bugs and microbes here; there's nothing else. System, how big is the Universal Land now?"
"It's 100,000 square meters!! Your current Divine Currency assets are 30 billion, and the weight of your gold is 200 tons. Additionally, there are 200,000 super transport tools and some other odd items you placed later!"
"Wow, that's amazing! And why do I feel like the Universal Land also has signs of life?"
"Yes! However, your level is still at Level 4. Once you reach Level 7, you'll be fully leveled up, and if you can break through at that stage, the Universal Land will give you the greatest surprise! That's when you'll understand why the system encourages you to study the Universal Land. But for now, the system can't explain too much! The system has its own rules! No one can break the rules, or else you'll face the consequence of being erased!"
