Disaster Apocalypse: Farming, Family, and My Hidden Secret Space-Chapter 175. Get rid of
Chapter 175: 175. Get rid of
The smaller piece of ice jadeite Hua Jin planned to keep for herself, to go home and make jewelry for her mother and grandmother.
Enough for a set for each, with some left over.
Now, the two of them have made a name for themselves on this street, and people who got the news are flocking over here.
At the same time, right on schedule, the elderly man in dark clothing hurried over with the gold and silver he had prepared, with an assistant carrying a large box and a small box behind him.
The small box contained a thousand taels of gold, and the large box was full of silver, a total of fifteen thousand taels.
After checking that the silver was legitimate currency, they directly weighed it, as counting such a huge amount one by one would have been too cumbersome.
Confirming there were no issues, both parties nodded, and the transaction was completed at Shopkeeper Zhao’s place, exchanging money for goods.
Originally wanting to leave, Hua Jin decided to fleece another round at the sight of the greedy eyes of other managers and shopkeepers.
Not leaving felt a bit difficult anyway!
As for where to store so much silver, neither the father nor the daughter felt secure, and eventually decided to place them on their own bullock cart.
In broad daylight, they simply couldn’t believe anyone would dare openly rob them.
Without needing anyone else’s help, the father-daughter duo easily lifted the two boxes onto the cart brought over by an assistant; as soon as they were put on the cart, Hua Jin remotely stored the gold and silver from the wooden boxes into her magical space, their ease startling some people.
No need to think about it at all; surely many would get ideas over such a huge amount of gold and silver, likely leading to unrest afterward.
Hua Chengtian looked helplessly at his daughter, pondering inwardly how they should return and exit the city later.
In one more hour, while surrounded by other shopkeepers and managers, they fleeced another round.
Again letting her father pick at random, but this time placing them directly into the cart without a high-profile stone cutting demonstration on-site.
They had drawn too much attention; mainly, Hua Jin didn’t dare let the assistants reveal the stones.
The stones her father picked at random all contained goods.
Hua Jin started to believe that perhaps it was her father who was favored by the heavens.
How could they solve them on site when everyone knew? They had all the stones loaded onto the cart.
Even though without the stone-revealing show, this round still drew attention to other shops.
Everyone knew the luck of this father-daughter pair, and whenever they spent a little more time observing a raw stone, someone would jump in to buy it.
This round of operations led some people to win obviously, though more lost, yet who cares about those who lost when everyone’s focus is on those who won, realizing these raw stone shops aren’t just for show but indeed offer chances to become rich overnight.
By the time they left, it was already late afternoon. Upon leaving the crowd, under his daughter’s signal, Hua Chengtian directed their cart toward the secluded woods where they had previously collected goods.
As they left, several groups followed distantly behind, failing to escape Hua Jin’s notice. This would have been tough to detect without the mindfulness gained from fleecing those trades earlier.
Hua Chengtian drove the cart with excitement, choosing a densely wooded, remote spot as soon as they entered the woods. Hua Jin, who was already prepared, attempted to store the bullock cart into the space, taking her father along.
And... this time, it succeeded.
Just half an hour after they vanished, several groups approached from different directions towards where they had stopped.
Unfortunately, aside from faint wheel marks, there was no sign of the bullock cart, not even a bird, nothing.
The various groups looked at one another with trepidation before spreading out to search again, showing their reluctance.
Unfortunately, after several hours passed, with the sun about to set, the groups reconvened with no results, watching each other warily.
Each person’s brows were tightly knitted, clearly displeased with this outcome.
"Big Brother, this is so strange. That father-daughter pair seemed to vanish into thin air; could it be ghosts?"
It’s understandable that someone might irrationally speculate like this, as losing them under so many people’s noses seemed impossible, yet such was the fact.
After searching for so long, with nothing found, the speaker felt increasingly uneasy, his body involuntarily trembling a bit.
The wheel marks they had examined multiple times just ended abruptly, so mysteriously.
The surrounding groups heard these words, and a strange look flashed in their eyes—they had to admit, it was indeed strange.
They had searched everywhere within a few miles, even not sparing the birds on the trees.
Whether it was the person’s words that took effect or not, despite searching once more with reluctance, they were ultimately forced to give up, as truly nothing was found, and staying longer seemed pointless, so they simultaneously chose to leave.
All these scenes were clearly seen by Hua Jin inside the space.
Hua Chengtian, however, was completely unaware of the outside happenings, currently intrigued as he explored the space, amazed by its vastness.
After entering the space, he was again convinced this was an Immortal’s world, full of things they had never seen. He even saw cars faster than horses, motorcycles, electric bikes... even the houses were so peculiar, and Hua Chengtian was entirely engrossed in his daughter’s space, unable to think about anything else.
Watching the outsiders kept Hua Jin from immediately exploring her newly transformed space.
After the group left and the night was fully dark, and confirming no one was around, they disguised themselves as a grandfather and granddaughter, and Hua Jin then took her father and the bullock cart out of the space.
As for exploring the space, there would be plenty of time to do that once they left here, no rush.
As long as living things could enter, that was enough for now.
After absorbing spiritual energy, she had a vague feeling already, or she wouldn’t have decided to bring her father into the space first thing.
Then they quickly drove the bullock cart away from there toward the main street, where it was pitch dark with hardly any pedestrians around, smoothly reaching the main street. Finding a secluded spot, they stored the bullock cart into space and then chose a decently nice inn to stay at.
Arriving late, there were only a few scattered guests in the lobby; the duo, after feeling joy, excitement, and thrill, was quite hungry and started to satisfy their stomachs.
"... Are you going to check the excitement tomorrow?"
"I’m not going. It’s so hot, and who knows if we can even squeeze in. Besides, not everyone can be as lucky as that father-daughter pair; going is just a waste."
"True..." The young man speaking wavered a bit. "How come their luck is so good? I heard they sold for over twenty thousand taels and had a whole box of gold." The words were filled with envy.
"Yes... I heard many people extracted good things today and made quite a bit. Everyone says it’s thanks to that father-daughter duo’s luck, but it’s a pity we knew too late. By the time we went, they were already gone," added a big man sitting at the adjacent table with a hint of regret.
"Yes, I went too, a step too late."
"However, if I had such a huge amount of silver on me, I wouldn’t dare stay too long either; it’s too dangerous!"
Hearing this, the people agreed with nodding heads, recognizing it was indeed the case.
