Chapter 127 Treasure Hunt in the Storage Room: Another Secret Skill Acquired
Lin Feng led Zhang Xiaoyu and the others to the storage room.
The storage room is three or four hundred square meters in size, and it contains all sorts of odds and ends.
Ragged clothes, rusty weapons, broken pots, and broken water tanks.
The storage room reeked of decay; it was practically a garbage dump.
The group could only work while covering their noses.
According to regulations, everything must be registered and recorded.
The few square meters outside the storage room are alright; people often come in to take or put things away.
Further inside, spider webs crisscrossed, and the dust was at least an inch thick.
It's obvious that no one has touched it for a long time.
The movement of things by the group created a cloud of dust, leaving them all covered in soot and grime.
"Pah!" Sun Yu spat out the grass he was holding in his mouth. "Zhao Youcai is such a scoundrel, assigning us such a terrible job."
Lin Feng wiped the dust off his face and said, "Let's take it slow. After all, Zhao Youcai is leading the team this time."
Lin Feng cleared a path in the storage room, leading directly to the innermost part of the storage room.
If there's anything good in the storage room, it's definitely at the very back.
Lin Feng searched the innermost part of the storage room for half an hour, but only found a few rusty broken knives.
Lin Feng was greatly disappointed, covered in dust but having gained nothing.
Just then, Zhao Youcai came to inspect the work.
He smiled at their disheveled appearance and said, "Brothers, hurry up and get to work. The brothers in charge of other places have already packed and registered the materials. Your progress is the slowest."
"Hurry up and finish, then we can have lunch."
Several people were furious.
Not only were we assigned the dirtiest and most tiring work, but we weren't allowed to eat until we finished it.
Lin Feng walked out from the innermost part of the storage room.
Suddenly, he kicked something, making a clattering sound.
Lin Feng looked down and saw a string of beads on the ground.
He picked it up and shook off the dust, discovering that it was actually a string of Buddhist prayer beads.
The prayer beads feel very light, and the material seems ordinary; they don't seem to be of high quality.
Lin Feng counted them one by one.
When he counted down to the last one, Lin Feng's eyes widened.
Because he discovered that he had added a new martial art to his attribute panel.
Indestructible Vajra Divine Skill (Ultimate Technique) (Beginner Level)
Legend has it that the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill is the supreme Buddhist technique, possessing unparalleled defensive capabilities.
I never expected to get it myself.
Lin Feng examined the prayer beads carefully. There seemed to be something inside, but he couldn't see it at all.
Without the system, he would have no way of deciphering the secret techniques hidden in the prayer beads.
I don't know how the system discovered it.
Lin Feng put the Buddhist beads into his storage space.
There were indeed some good things in the storage room.
Lin Feng didn't go out and continued searching through the storage room.
It wasn't until the afternoon that the group finally took stock of the items in the storage room.
Apart from the Buddhist beads that Lin Feng put in the storage space, nothing of value was found.
Naturally, there's nothing to register or catalog.
When Lin Feng and his group returned to the front courtyard of the city lord's mansion.
The yard was piled with all sorts of items, each sealed with a tape.
Zhao Youcai set up a table and a chair and took notes there.
The guards were all resting in the courtyard.
Lin Feng went over and asked, only to find out that everyone had already eaten; Zhao Youcai had ordered the meal from the restaurant.
Lin Feng and the others didn't look too good.
They didn't even bring their share of the food when they ordered it. Zhao Youcai is really something else.
Lin Feng walked around the yard twice.
The most valuable things they found in the yard were several boxes of jewelry and a large chest, one meter long and one foot wide, filled with silver.
These valuable items were placed in front of Zhao Youcai's desk, and he personally guarded them.
Lin Feng checked the storage space.
There was a little over one cubic meter of the thirty cubic meter storage space left; the rest of the space was filled with snake meat.
One cubic meter is enough.
Lin Feng looked around and found that everyone else was chatting in small groups and no one was paying attention to him.
So he walked past Zhao Youcai's table, blocked Zhao Youcai's view with his body, and casually put the money box and jewelry box into his storage space.
Zhao Youcai didn't notice, and kept taking notes while grinning foolishly.
It seems the city lord's mansion didn't have time to move anything of value.
The city lord's mansion has a lot of good stuff. There are 800,000 taels of silver notes and silver alone, and various jewelry and jade pendants are worth at least 100,000 taels.
There are also various antiques, calligraphy and paintings, herbs, clothing and other miscellaneous items.
The total value of everything is approximately 1.5 to 1.6 million taels.
He led the team to raid the city lord's mansion, and the more he seized, the greater his merit naturally became.
After Zhao Youcai finished writing down the list, he picked it up and admired his neat handwriting.
At that moment, he suddenly felt that the area in front of the table seemed somewhat empty.
He suddenly remembered that his most valuable money box and jewelry box were placed in front of him.
Now it's completely empty.
He rubbed his eyes, but there was still nothing in front of him.
He looked around for a while but couldn't find either of them.
Zhao Youcai immediately panicked.
He stood up and shouted, "Where are the money box and the jewelry box?"
His shout startled everyone.
Everyone turned to look at him.
Zhao Youcai shouted again, "I'm asking you, where did the money box and jewelry box go?"
Since no one knew the answer, no one responded.
Zhao Youcai thought someone was playing a prank on him.
He pointed at the crowd with a cold face and said, "I'm not joking with you. Whoever hid it, take it out now."
No one answered.
People weren't familiar with him, so who would joke with him, especially about something like this?
Zhao Youcai did recruit two trusted subordinates, but neither of them knew anything about it.
One of them said, "Sir, you personally kept the money box and jewelry box. No one else touched them."
Besides, there's nowhere to hide something that big.
Even if someone wanted to steal it, they couldn't.
The Iron Sword Army hasn't withdrawn yet.
"Forget about carrying a big box, not even a sparrow could fly out."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Youcai ran out.
He inquired about the Iron Sword Army commander who was surrounding the city lord's mansion.
Everyone says no one brought anything out.
The deliveryman was searched when he came out and was found to be carrying nothing.
Zhao Youcai rushed into the city lord's mansion and mobilized everyone to search for the money box and jewelry box.
They searched until nightfall but found nothing.
Around midnight.
Hong Baichuan and Zheng Tiejun entered the city lord's mansion together.
Hong Baichuan said irritably, "I told you to ransack my house, not to stay here. Why aren't you leaving so late at night?"
Zhao Youcai stammered, "General, we haven't finished copying yet."
Hong Baichuan showed no respect for Zhao Youcai, saying, "The city lord's mansion is only so big, and there are only so many valuable things."
So many of you have been copying all night and still haven't finished?
Are you here to ransack the place or to collect trash?
Zheng Tiejun's expression also looked rather unpleasant.
He walked over to Zhao Youcai and asked, "Youcai, what happened?"
Zhao Youcai recounted how the money box and jewelry box had been lost.
He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead as he spoke.
Zheng Tiejun's brow twitched upon hearing this. That was over 900,000 taels of silver; no one could afford to compensate for it if it were lost.
Lin Feng sneered inwardly, "Let's see how you get out of this."
