Chapter 330 Hidden Space Grid, Get Rich! (5600)

Cao Xing pushed the door open and walked out.

A female corpse suddenly appeared in front of him

Cao Xing was stunned for a moment, "Another female corpse?"

You know, in the last sacrifice of the Church of Light, almost all living beings in the city were sacrificed.

Those who are able to preserve their corpses are generally not ordinary beings.

Cao Xing walked over and took a look.

I found that this woman was extremely beautiful.

Her long silver hair, as smooth as a waterfall, fell messily on the ground.

Beneath the delicate facial features, there is a sense of tranquility and peace.

What attracted the most attention was her pair of pointed ears drooping on the ground.

Cao Xing glanced over.

[Elves: Nereida’s corpse…]

(The corpse of a pure-blooded elf was caught by a slave trader for some reason and ended up in the Dream Tavern after several twists and turns.)
...

"Oh my goodness, it's actually the corpse of an elf!"

Cao Xing was shocked instantly.

No wonder the price outside is so high. The Dream Tavern can even catch this kind of creature. It is really powerful.

This time, the word "corpse" was noted behind the system.

This means that this elf is really dead.

Speaking of which, this is the first time Cao Xing has seen pure-blooded elves in this world.

The result was a dead body.

And Cao Xing also saw the system notes at the back.

"It turns out that this female elf was captured by those slave traders."

"Those stupid players said before that there might be female elves serving in taverns in big cities like this. So it turns out to be true?"

Cao Xing couldn't help but sigh at the audacity of these slave traders.

After all, the elves are a sacred and powerful race.

If it weren't for their low reproductive capacity, the most numerous race in the world would not be humans.

As a sacred race, they would never allow their own people to end up in such a place for those guys to vent their anger and play with.

Once discovered, they will hunt down these slave traders to the ends of the earth.

Many guilds of commerce were destroyed due to the revenge of the elves, and those slave traders who were captured were also subjected to the most brutal executions.

Skinning and cramping are the least of the worries!

Some more extreme elves would even massacre the entire city as a warning to the world.

However, despite this, the value of the elves is too high.

Any pure-blooded elf is worth at least several million crowns!

Yes at least!
Moreover, top-quality goods like these have to be auctioned off.

Some nobles or wealthy people often wait for auctions for several years and raise a lot of money just to buy an elf.

Therefore, every elven slave would be sold at an extremely high price.

This is also the reason why those slave traders are willing to take huge risks and attack the elves.

If you catch one, you will become rich instantly!
Even the corpses of elves are worth a lot of money.

Of course Cao Xing would not have such a beastly idea.

Instead, he placed her body in a hidden corner and cast a magic seal on it to prevent it from being harmed by the cultists.

Just as he was about to leave the room, curiosity drove him to search the room.

Sure enough, under one of the loose floorboards, Cao Xing found a secret compartment.

After the secret compartment was opened, a small bag was taken out.

There were about 10,000 or 20,000 crowns in it, which seemed to be all the savings of this female elf.

In addition, there is a letter.

[Obtained letter: Nereida's letter to her sister...]

Cao Xing opened the letter and took a look, only to find that the letter was written in a strange language that he could not understand at all.

"This should be Elvish, right?"

"Ask Sarah to see if she can translate the contents of the letter when we get back."

Cao Xing shook his head.

Leaving the elf girl's room, he returned to the corridor.

Now, there is only one last room left to explore.

For now, there is not much to be gained from this tavern, compared to its magnificent decoration and superior geographical location.

They only managed to collect tens of thousands of kronor, which was indeed a bit shabby.

Cao Xing thought to himself, "I hope the last room can give me a surprise."

Walk straight to the end of the corridor.

When we arrived in front of the iron gate, there was no plaque on it.

Cao Xing pushed the door open.

"Crench!"

From the inside, it looked like another ordinary room.

Apart from some wooden tables, chairs and benches, there is a simple small wooden bed.

Shaking his head, Cao Xing sighed, "It seems that this tavern really doesn't have anything good."

But be careful to prevent anything from being missed.

He decided to search thoroughly.

However, Cao Xing spent three minutes searching almost every corner of the storage room, but found nothing.

Just when he was about to give up, the [Eye of True Vision] suddenly discovered something wrong.

In a corner of the room, there seemed to be an unusual fluctuation.

It's not a magical fluctuation, but a more special fluctuation.

"Hmm? Is there really something?"

Cao Xing leaned over to take a look.

A system prompt appeared in front of me.

[Hidden space grid: 1 cubic meter]

Current status: Closed

(Note: A hidden space that may contain something.)
...

"It's actually a hidden space grid."

[Space Grid] is a special hiding method belonging to the natives of this world.

Sometimes they acquire something important or accumulate some wealth that is not safe to keep in the basement, but they cannot take it with them.

So these things will be hidden in this kind of space grid.

I didn't expect to meet one here.

However, this space grid is closed, and it seems a bit troublesome to open it.

And the system does not prompt how to open it.

Cao Xing thought for a moment and decided to try Vivian's hairpin.

The previous few times he used it, he had already discovered the special features of this hairpin.

It looks like it pierces the barrier, but in fact its specific function is to pierce the space.

It will directly cause a hole to appear in the entire barrier space, making it completely ineffective.

This is the principle of hairpin.

As he took out his hairpin, he poked it gently.

In an instant, it was easily popped like a layer of bubbles.

A window the size of a head appeared out of nowhere in front of me.

The state of this space grid also changed from [Closed] to [Open].

But when Cao Xing looked through the window and saw what was inside, his pupils suddenly widened!

"Fuck! It turns out that all the good stuff in this tavern is hidden here!"

He saw that the one cubic space inside was filled with all kinds of things.

There was a large amount of kronor underneath, which looked like at least a million.

On top of this pile of kronor, there are also many well-made jewelry, paper bills, etc.

At this moment, Cao Xing was as excited as if he had discovered a dragon's treasure!
"Hahaha, I said there would definitely be good stuff in such a big pub."

"I finally found it!"

With excitement.

Cao Xing reached out and took out all the kronor and bills.

[Obtained: Crown*1742361]

[Obtain: Money Shop Receipts*17 (Total 3240 million)]

[Obtain: Gold jewelry (hairpin, ring, necklace) * 17KG]

[Obtain: Advanced Brewing Workshop Construction Blueprint (Gold) *1]

[Obtain: Dream Magic Wine Recipe (Gold)*1]

[Obtain: Fantasy Magic Wine (Gold)*3]

[Obtain: Indenture*32]

[Obtain: Duolun Lake City Land Deed*3]

[Obtain: Slave Contract Scroll * 5 (Purple)]

...

"Hahaha! So much money and bills, I'm rich!"

Cao Xing exclaimed: "Not bad, not bad. It has only been less than an hour since I entered the city."

"The total revenue has exceeded... 70 million crowns!"

This is a staggering number.

The biggest part of it, naturally, was Cao Xing’s harvest from this space grid.

Any survivor who gets this money can go to the main city of Yongshuang and live a rich life from then on!
With an excited look.

Cao Xing took a look at the newly obtained blueprint.

[Advanced Brewing Workshop Construction Blueprint (Gold)]

[Blueprint Description: You can upgrade the intermediate winemaking workshop in the territory to an advanced level, increase production efficiency, and brew more advanced wine]

[Armor: 800]

Durability: 7900

【Area: 1753 square meters】

[Upgrade requirements: Intermediate Brewing Workshop, Wood*6000, Stone*3000, Iron*1000, Mithril*100, Advanced Elements, Crystal*50]

【Maximum staff: 20 people】

(Note: A brewery with a larger area and more equipment can increase the prosperity of the territory)
...

"This blueprint is great. I've already planted the Kulin barley in my territory."

"Once a batch of barley grows, we can try to make some barley wine. I heard that this kind of wine is very valuable."

Cao Xing nodded secretly.

Of course, the brewing workshop in his own territory is only at the elementary level, and it needs to be upgraded to the intermediate level before this blueprint can be used.

He glanced at the other drawing of the golden wine recipe again.

[Recipe for making Dream Wine (Gold)]

【Quality: Treasure】

[Effect: After drinking, it reduces mental resistance by 30% (resistance affects the probability of mental control), causing the person to enter a dream state, and enhances sensory experience by 50% (pain, taste, pleasure, emotions, etc.). The effect lasts for 6 hours, and after it ends, the person will enter a 12-hour drunken state.]

[Materials required for brewing: Advanced Brewing Workshop, Dream Magic Vine, Top-quality Tree Sap*1, Cold Spirit Water*200ml]

(The recipe for the signature magic wine of the Dream Tavern. After drinking a bottle, you will never forget the wonderful feeling.)
…"Oh? Is this wine so horrible?"

Cao Xing immediately thought of the two bottles of potions he had just obtained.

The Night Demon's potion directly ignites desire.

And this magic wine is to amplify the senses.

"Oh my god, what if I use the Night Devil's magic flame secret medicine with this dream magic wine on one person?"

"Then we have to go straight to the sky?"

Thinking about it, Cao Xing felt his whole body tremble.

terrible!

However, it would be different if this was used on the enemy. It would definitely make them wish they were dead!

It just so happened that he had three bottles of [Dream Magic Wine (Gold)] in his hand, and hoped that no unlucky person would be targeted by him.

Cao Xing thought happily.

Then start looking at another prop.

[Slave Contract Scroll (Purple)]

[Item Effect: This contract can be used on a creature below level 20, thereby controlling the other party's life and death.]

[Probability of success: 20%~40%]

(Note: Although the circulation of this scroll has been banned on the continent under the joint request of the elves, dwarves, giants and other major tribes, many slave trade associations still have the production method of this scroll to control those disobedient slaves.)
...

"Oh? This scroll is similar to the Soul Contract Scroll."

"However, the Soul Contract Scroll has a 100% success rate, and it can also force the other party to have the maximum favorability."

"In comparison, the effect of this slave contract scroll is far inferior."

Cao Xing put it into his backpack to see if there would be any chance to use it later.

As for the final indenture and land deed, there is no need to check them.

These are all contracts of some women.

Those land deeds are for some land in Duolun Lake City and are of no use at the moment.

A look of satisfaction appeared on his face again.

"This tavern has such a rich harvest!"

"Sure enough, this trip is the right one."

"As long as the kingdom's army doesn't attack, I can continue to plunder."

"Until I can empty this entire huge city."

Thinking of this, Cao Xing's mouth could hardly close with a smile.

However, just as he was about to leave the tavern.

Suddenly I heard a noise coming from the street outside.

The group of hunters outside shouted, "Bishop Sainz is back!"

"Hurry up and open the city gate to welcome the Bishop!"

After hearing this, Cao Xing was slightly stunned.

"Hmm? The Bishop has returned?"

"Are all these bishops not in the city?"

When raiding those camps, Cao Xing happened to hear two white-robed priests say this.

All members of the Church of Light above the level of white-robed priests seemed to have gained some kind of strength improvement.

The red-robed bishops he had met before were at least level five.

In other words, the red-robed bishop in this city is definitely at level six, or even above level six!
This kind of strong person has extremely sharp perception in all aspects!
Cao Xing thought to himself, "I'd better not risk going out. I'll just hide in the tavern. As long as the red-robed bishop doesn't get close to this block, he shouldn't be able to find me."

Thinking of this, he tried his best to control his breathing and stood quietly there.

Soon, the sound of the city gate opening came from two blocks away.

Then, there was a rush of footsteps outside.

It sounded like it was still coming towards the street where he was.

Cao Xing was startled for a moment, "Damn, is it coming for me?"

"I haven't searched enough yet!"

"No, the Red Robe Cardinal's perception ability shouldn't be that exaggerated. Could it be that he just happened to pass by?"

Just as he was anxiously waiting.

The dense footsteps on the street were getting closer and closer.

Soon, the footsteps passed the tavern and went straight forward.

This also made Cao Xing gradually feel relieved.

"Fortunately, we were not discovered. These guys should have just passed by here."

However, the words just fell.

The red-robed bishop outside seemed to sense something was wrong and turned back with his men.

And stopped directly at the door of the pub.

Cao Xing now has amazing hearing and can hear the conversations of people outside through the building.

A cultist asked in confusion: "My Lord Bishop, what's wrong with you?"

The red-robed bishop did not speak, but instead looked towards the Dream Tavern.

Then, a powerful voice sounded.

"Who's in the tavern? Come out!"

Hearing this, the cultists around were all shocked.

They realized something instantly.

"Is there anyone in there?"

"Who is it? Could it be that an assassin from the Ice Crystal Kingdom has sneaked into the city?"

"Damn it! Get ready for a fight!"

The next moment, everyone drew their weapons.

"Keng! Keng Keng!"

In an instant, the atmosphere outside became solemn and murderous!
At this time, Cao Xing, who was hiding inside, looked depressed.

"Damn, these bishops' perception abilities are really strong. They can even find me!"

"Am I going to be exposed so soon?"

During this short period of time, Cao Xing's brain was working rapidly.

Then start thinking about coping strategies.

At this moment, the murderous voice of the red-robed bishop outside rang out again.

"Whoever you are, I'll give you five seconds."

"If you're not out in five seconds, I'm going to raze this building to the ground!"

"Don't even think about running away. You will never be able to escape from my grasp in Duolun Lake City."

As soon as he finished speaking, he began the countdown.

"five……"

"Four……"

As the countdown continued, other cultists walked over and surrounded the entire tavern!
"three……"

When the countdown is about to reach 'one'.

"Crench!"

The door of the tavern was pushed open.

At this moment, at least a dozen cultists at the door raised their weapons, ready to deal with the enemy at any time.

However, something unexpected happened to them.

The person who walked out of the tavern was not an intruder.

Instead, it was a hunter wearing a linen cotton suit, a shadow cloak, and also a mask.

His thin body kept shaking in the cold wind.

He trembled and said, "Master, Master, Master... Bishop..."

At this moment, the red-robed bishop outside, including the hunters, all had puzzled looks in their eyes.

It seemed that no one had expected that the person coming out would be an ordinary church member.

The red-robed bishop also felt very strange.

He frowned, but did nothing.

"Take off your mask."

Hearing this, the thin hunter opposite heaved a sigh of relief.

Following the other party's order, he stretched out a pair of pale hands and tremblingly took off the mask on his face.

Then a pale but very young face of a boy of only fifteen or sixteen years old was revealed.

At this moment, when the young man took off the mask, it seemed that his movements were too big.

Accidentally, a bunch of crowns jumped out of the pocket of his clothes and fell to the ground.

"Ding! Ding-ling-ling!"

The sound of coins falling continued to echo.

Everyone's attention was instantly drawn to the Krona that fell to the ground.

The young hunter, as if his secret had been exposed, was so frightened that his face turned pale and he stood frozen in place, not daring to move.

At this moment, the other cultists seemed to have understood something, and a playful smile appeared on their faces.

However, the red-robed bishop did not speak, but a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.

It seemed as if he was recalling this person's appearance in his mind.

But as mentioned before, the power of the Church of Light is huge.

Plus, they are a hidden force.

To ensure that the situation does not occur where everyone is exposed because of one person.

Therefore, each red-robed bishop and even each black-robed priest is responsible for different members.

In addition, due to the recent chaotic situation, many new people enter Duolun Lake City every day.

Therefore, he couldn't remember at all who was the teacher in charge of this person.

Cao Xing was also gambling that they could not remember the face of an ordinary member.

The red-robed bishop thought for a moment and asked again, "What's your name?"

Cao Xing replied tremblingly: "My name is Mike..."

Without waiting for the other party to speak, Cao Xing continued: "My Lord... My Lord Bishop... I will never dare to do it again!"

"I have a seriously ill mother at home, and I urgently need money for her treatment. I...I really have no other choice...I can only do this!"

After saying this, he took out an iron box from his arms, which was filled with tens of thousands of kronor.

"Your Excellency, I didn't steal much. These are all the things I took from the store!"

Seeing this, the red-robed bishop was silent for a moment.

For a moment, the atmosphere froze.

Everyone was waiting for the red-robed bishop to speak and see how he would deal with this inexperienced newcomer.

After a moment, the red-robed bishop said, "The church has repeatedly stressed that all resources in this city must be transferred to the church headquarters for subsequent development."

"Yet you ignored the rules and stole assets belonging to the church."

"According to the regulations, people like you who are disloyal to the church will be severely punished!"

There was a hint of threat in his tone.

Hearing this, the young man in front of him was so frightened that he trembled all over.

But secretly he is ready to transform into a demon form at any time, prepared to explode.

Including the other hunters, there was an expression of gloating on their faces at this moment.

They seemed to have foreseen the fate of this kid!
