Rebirth: I Will Win Easily in the Apocalypse-Chapter 6 - 4 Space Upgrade_2

Gu Yanzhi had just placed the first box of items into the space when everything before her eyes blacked out, and her consciousness was ejected from the space. When Gu Yanzhi tried to enter the space again, she found that she could not connect with it.

Song Zhao, who had been paying close attention to Gu Yanzhi, noticed her troubled expression and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

"I... seem to be unable to contact the space," Gu Yanzhi said with uncertainty. In her previous life, after she had obtained the space, she used it constantly and had never encountered such a situation.

"Are you okay physically? The space isn't important; if it's gone, it's gone," Song Zhao quickly looked Gu Yanzhi up and down, fearing that the sudden incident might negatively affect her.

Whether the space existed or not wasn't important; Gu Yanzhi's health mattered more. Even without the space, he would strive to ensure that Gu Yanzhi could live well in the apocalypse.

"Yes, yes, sister, are you all right?" Gu Yanlin, who heard the noise, also quickly expressed his concern.

"I'm fine; it's just that suddenly I can't contact the space anymore," Gu Yanzhi initially panicked, but she quickly calmed down. Knowing about the apocalypse in advance was already an advantage. Even without the space, they would strive to make a good life.

Since the space was unreachable, Gu Yanzhi and Song Zhao each went back to their rooms to pack up the items they wanted to take.

Gu Yanqi was to streamline the items he had already packed.

Without the space, many of their plans had to change, and so did the direction of their hoarding. Some bulky items couldn't be bought anymore.

After the three quickly sorted out their belongings, they sat down at the dining table downstairs to discuss the hoarding plans anew.

Before the discussion, Gu Yanzhi tried to contact the space again and was surprised to find that the space was accessible again.

"Eh? The space seems a little different," Gu Yanzhi voiced her confusion.

After careful observation, Gu Yanzhi excitedly discovered that the space had become somewhat larger. Before, the space was about the size of two soccer fields; now, it had expanded by nearly half.

Gu Yanzhi tried taking items out of the space and putting them back in; she succeeded smoothly. She also tested the space's preservation function with ice cream and found that there was no change; it could still preserve indefinitely, which made Gu Yanzhi even happier.

"Could it be that the box I just put in contained something that could upgrade the space?" Gu Yanlin speculated, recalling a plot from a novel he had read where the protagonist unexpectedly obtained items that upgraded their space.

Gu Yanzhi quickly fetched the box and the three of them took out everything inside it and placed it on the table.

"It seems that a necklace is missing—the one Dad gave Mom for their 20th anniversary," Gu Yanlin, who had packed the items, remembered that the necklace was supposedly in that box, but Mrs. Gu had too many pieces of jewelry for him to remember clearly.

The three of them then hurried upstairs to move all the items from their parents' room and check each one, indeed finding the necklace missing.

"Could it be the emeralds that cause the space to upgrade?" Gu Yanzhi remembered the necklace was a 100-karat emerald gemstone necklace, which Mr. Gu had bought at an auction for two billion.

"Possibly, let's give it a try."

The three gathered all the jewelry and antiques in the house and picked out various materials for Gu Yanzhi to test.

Eventually, the three determined that all types of jade could upgrade the space. Depending on the jade's size and quality, the degree of the upgrade and the time required for the upgrade varied.

The more precious and larger the jade, the greater the space was upgraded, and the more time it consumed.

For example, a 1-karat old pit glass species Emperor Green and a 100-karat ice jade upgraded the space by nearly the same amount, and the time spent was also the same.

After determining these factors, they spent another day throwing all the remaining jade in the house into the space to upgrade it.

Gu Yanzhi had wanted to throw everything in at once, but Song Zhao was concerned about potential harm to her body and kept insisting that she do it piece by piece. Gu Yanlin kept nodding in agreement, and unable to convince Song Zhao and Gu Yanlin otherwise, Gu Yanzhi had to agree.

While Gu Yanzhi was busy throwing the jade into the space to upgrade it, Song Zhao and Gu Yanlin were not idle.

Since it was confirmed that the space could be upgraded, they re-planned the hoarding list, enumerated more hoardable items, and added a clause to collect as many types of jade as possible.

Song Zhao contacted Gu Qiang and Gu Li, offering to accept their jade jewelry as full payment against the 100 billion debt at market price.

Although Gu Li and Li Hong thought Song Zhao was trying to humiliate them, they agreed since he was willing to deduct at market prices.

The day after the contract was signed, Gu Qiang transferred the first 100 billion to Gu Yanzhi's account. Then he heavily auctioned off the stocks, real estate, and luxury goods he held. However, because too much was suddenly released into the market, many were sold below market price.

Of course, another reason they agreed was that they believed once the Gu Family was in their hands, dealing with a few powerless individuals would be easy, and they could get their beloved jewelry back without spending a penny.

The jewelry from Gu Li and Li Hong deducted 10 billion. It was clear how much the Gu siblings had drained from Mr. and Mrs. Gu over the years.

The Gu Family was founded from scratch by Mr. and Mrs. Gu. After they became wealthy, they did not forget their siblings. Although they did not let them enter the corporation directly, they gave them shares, helped them start businesses, and provided them with money.

Unfortunately, greedy like elephants, the good-hearted Mr. Gu raised two ingrates who, for money, viciously attacked their own brother and sister-in-law and even sought to completely eliminate their nephew and niece.
