Chapter 27 What Triggered the Accelerated Upgrade

Besides a complete set of anesthesia and surgical equipment, there’s also a music player.

Finally, there’s the laboratory and the B-ultrasound and CT room. The machines inside are all brand new.

Chu Chenyin couldn’t help but pinch herself. She winced in pain and looked around. It was still the same.

She was overjoyed, “These are all real!”

With these things, many diseases that couldn’t be cured in ancient times could be cured here. It would be absolutely useful for escaping famine and dealing with natural disasters.

Chu Chenyin picked up a scalpel and looked at it. She found that there were also many beauty threads nearby.

Her suture skills were excellent. Maybe she could even give people double eyelids and facelifts.

Just as she was immersed in her joy, a voice suddenly sounded in the space.

Chu Chenyin quickly went to the door of the seventh layer.

She saw a progress bar on the door of the seventh layer, which displayed: “60 days left until the seventh layer space upgrade is complete.”

Sixty days?!

It seems that the higher the space level, the longer it takes to upgrade.

Chu Chenyin frowned slightly. Why did the sixth layer space upgrade ahead of schedule?

Did she trigger something?

She searched around, trying to find an instruction manual with hints, but she couldn’t find anything even after searching the entire space.

Seeing that time was running out, Chu Chenyin had to leave the space and return to her room.

When she returned to the room, she looked up and saw Fu Yanting.

Fu Yanting was holding a sword, as if he was waiting for her. He lowered his eyes slightly and said slowly, “Let’s go, to the Bai family’s rice shop.”

Chu Chenyin remembered that she had important business to attend to. She glanced outside, “It’s still early. Let’s go there right now.”

Fu Yanting got up and walked ahead to lead the way.

Chu Chenyin looked at his back and felt something was wrong. She felt he was different from usual.

But she couldn’t tell exactly what was different.

Chu Chenyin shook her head, maintaining her usual composure, and followed Fu Yanting to the Bai family’s rice shop.

Now, the only thing left in the entire Bai family was the fake rice mixed with white sand in the shop.

Zhang, the head accountant, still wanted to make a comeback with this rice. He personally came here to watch over it, afraid that even this little rice would be stolen.

When he saw Chu Chenyin coming, he quickly greeted her, “Customer, aren’t you supposed to pick up the rice tomorrow?”

Chu Chenyin looked around the shop and smiled, “Shopkeeper, our family needs rice. Please give me ten dou.”

Zhang, the head accountant, looked pale, and he had clearly lost weight, “Customer, our shop has little rice lately. We can’t get you so much rice for now. Can you give me another day?”

Chu Chenyin raised her voice and snorted coldly, “Shopkeeper Zhang, your Bai family is the largest rice merchant in Mengru County. How could you not even have ten dou of rice!”

“Or, you simply don’t want to sell it to me.”

She said, grabbing a handful of rice and taking out the white sand inside, “Or, you simply don’t have any good rice.”

Zhang, the head accountant, looked at the white sand in her palm, his face instantly turned black. He stammered, “Customer, what are you talking about? The rice here is all top-quality fragrant rice.”

“Okay, then give me my fifty dou of rice right now.” Chu Chenyin didn’t give him a chance to argue and interrupted him decisively.

Zhang, the head accountant, gritted his teeth, feeling very embarrassed, “Customer, I really don’t have fifty dou of rice.”

Chu Chenyin saw that it was almost time and got to the point, “If you don’t have it, then give me my twenty taels of silver back.”

Zhang, the head accountant, had been robbed clean the night before. He didn’t have twenty taels of silver, he didn’t even have twenty copper coins.

Chu Chenyin saw that he didn’t say anything for a long time and lightly tapped the table, “What, you don’t even have twenty taels?”

Zhang, the head accountant, was afraid that others would know he didn’t have any silver. He quickly looked up and replied, “I do, of course I do, but can you give me a few days?”

Chu Chenyin raised her cold eyes and sneered at him, “Shopkeeper Zhang, you still want to deceive me? The news of your Bai family’s mansion being robbed last night is known to everyone. Are you still thinking of conjuring up silver for me?”

Zhang, the head accountant, saw that he couldn’t hide it anymore and lowered his head, “Yes, we Bai family really don’t have any silver. Can you give me a few more days, customer?”

Chu Chenyin pretended to think for a moment and smiled, “How about this, I use your house to offset my twenty taels.”

“My house?” Zhang, the head accountant, was startled, “Customer, you’re joking. The Bai family’s mansion can be sold for at least two hundred taels of silver.”

Chu Chenyin said slowly, “But I heard that your Bai family is haunted. No one in Mengru County dares to buy your house. I’m an outsider and I’m not afraid of these things. Think carefully, otherwise, you have to return my twenty taels of silver tomorrow.”

Zhang, the head accountant, was in a dilemma. He thought about the house where Qing’er’s mother lived. After hesitating for a long time, he replied, “Okay, I can give you the house, but I won’t sell the fifty dou of rice.”
