188: A house full of gold, an unexpected gain

"Gulu! Gun Gun will protect Mo Yan!" Gun Gun straightened its round chest and earnestly promised when it heard its task was to stay by Mo Yan's side.

Mo Yan chuckled, no longer paying attention to the commotion outside.

He walked to the safe in the shop, in front of a wall.

The disturbance from those thugs earlier had left one thing undone.

This wall looked like an ordinary brick wall.

But in his Value Insight, behind this wall, a completely different energy emanated, attracting him.

Mo Yan stretched out his hand, seemingly casually fumbling on the wall.

When his finger pressed on the seventh brick from the left in the third row, he pushed it inward.

"Click... clack..."

A sound of mechanical turning echoed, and that solid wall actually split open in the middle, slowly moving to both sides, revealing a pitch-black entrance.

It was a hidden secret room.

The entrance was deep and dark, exuding an old musty smell and the unique coldness of metal.

The secret room was not large, about fifty square meters, and its four walls were built with heavy granite, obviously for anti-theft and fire prevention.

And the scene inside the secret room was enough to drive any ordinary person mad.

There were no antique paintings or dazzling jewels as imagined.

Here, there was only gold!

Neatly stacked gold bars formed several golden hills, reflecting a dazzling light under the secret room's ceiling lamp.

A rough estimate would be several tons.

He stepped forward and casually picked up a heavy gold bar.

Name: Gold Bar (Purity 99.99%)

Quality: Ordinary

Description: Weighs one kilogram, a precious metal, can be used for construction, scientific research, every 100 grams can make 1 gold coin.

Mo Yan put down the gold bar and looked at the dozen or so huge safes next to it.

His finger traced the dial of one of the safes, and his spiritual power permeated the inside of the lock core.

The precise pins and levers crafted by modern top-tier technology, under the perception of his Divine Thought, had their structures clear at a glance.

Click!

The heavy safe lid sprang open in response.

Inside were not gold bars, but neatly arranged jadeite stones.

Ice Jade, Glass Jade, Imperial Green... each piece was crystal clear and full of luster, previously all priceless.

Name: Ice Jadeite Raw Stone

Quality: Rare

Description: A jade stone containing water-attribute energy, can be used for Artifact Refining or setting up miniature Formations, or can be carved into ornaments, with the effect of calming the mind.

Mo Yan waved his hand, and all the jadeite in the entire safe disappeared without a trace.

Then came the second, the third...

He repeated the process, opening seven or eight safes in a row, and without exception, all of them contained various high-quality jadeite stones.

It seemed the owner of this shop was also a jade collector.

But Mo Yan knew very well that when order was re-established and the currency System collapsed, these precious metals and jade stones would once again become resources people scrambled for.

After all, these resources all contained energy and were excellent Materials for Artifact Refining or setting up Formations.

In just one minute, the entire secret room was swept clean, not even a single hair was left.

Rare Resources: (Ice Jadeite) +10 every 50 minutes

Two more automatic production lines were obtained.

After completing all this, Mo Yan walked out of the secret room with satisfaction.

He casually opened the remaining few ordinary safes; to him, these so-called special anti-theft locks were no different from wooden boxes.

This time, they contained not gold or jade, but various dazzling gemstones.

Diamonds, rubies, sapphires, emeralds... they shimmered with colorful light in the dim shop, making people dizzy.

Mo Yan's Value Insight swept over them.

Name: Flawless Diamond

Quality: Rare

Description: Pure crystal, possessing extremely high hardness and energy conductivity, an excellent Material for making Advanced enchanted equipment.

.

Name: Ruby

Quality: Rare

Description: A gemstone containing fire-attribute energy, can be inlaid into weapons to add fire damage.

Mo Yan was not polite, plundering all the gemstones, and several sparkling small mountains appeared again in his talent space.

[Hint: You have successfully hoarded, Rare - Flawless Diamond, Ruby, Sapphire... x500, the illustration has been lit, activating Level 8 automatic production!]

...

A series of System prompts made Mo Yan feel pleased.

After he finished, the Soldiers outside had also finished scavenging useful supplies nearby, piling them outside the shop, waiting for Mo Yan to collect them.

He moved a grand armchair out of the shop and sat leisurely by the door, while Gun Gun skillfully climbed onto his lap and curled up in a comfortable position.

While idly stroking Gun Gun's soft fur, he opened the Cangming Alliance channel.

The channel was unusually lively, with message records already showing 99+.

Wang Haochen: "Let me tell you, S City is full of Professionals. I just led my Totem War Wolf and took down a foolish stronghold calling themselves the 'Red Tea Gang'."

"It's hilarious, they were all so weak, yet they tried to collect protection fees. I confiscated a lot of good stuff!"

Attached was an arrogant photo of him stepping on a bruised and swollen fat man's face, with a phantom of a giant green wolf howling to the sky behind him.

Xie Yufeng: "@Wang Haochen, be more low-key, don't be too ostentatious. The official forces should not be underestimated; S City is very deep."

Wang Haochen: "Scared of what?! Xie, you're just too timid! Don't you see how mighty our Alliance Leader was in the Ice Plains! As people of the Cangming Alliance, how can we disgrace the Alliance Leader? We must act!"

Wang Haochen: "By the way, Xie, how are things on your side? Did you go back to your Family where everyone looked down on you? Were you mistreated? Do you want me to bring the brothers to back you up?"

Xie Yufeng sent a wry smile emoji: "For now, it's fine. I hid outside in time and didn't go back. But they've already sent people to look for me, probably because they're eyeing my gains in the Lord World and want me to hand them over to the Family."

Wang Haochen: "Pah! A bunch of shameless old farts! Xie, you wait, I'll gather my men now and go help you settle things!"

Xie Yufeng: "No, don't be impulsive, I can handle it myself."

Watching their conversation, Mo Yan's lips curled up slightly.

Wang Haochen was still as boisterous as ever, but this loyal personality was quite good.

His gaze continued to move down, seeing Chen Yutong's message.

Chen Yutong: "@Mo Yan, Alliance Leader... are you there? There have been people fighting in my community, and my Family and I are hiding in our home in K City. The official rescue team hasn't come yet, what should I do?"

Following the message was a string of crying emojis.

Looking at these distinctly different messages, Mo Yan first replied to Chen Yutong's message.
