Chapter 84 Little Golden Town (5-star review required)

then

Gel followed Xia, and the two of them walked towards the small hill in the center of the island.

After a while, Gel was brought by the old man to a small cave halfway up the mountain.

This is a naturally formed rock cave, which is quite spacious inside, estimated to be about 2 to square meters. The ground is meters high from the stone wall above. People can walk around in the cave without bending over, so it is very suitable for living.

But Israel's height is so high that he doesn't even have to lower his head even if there is a 1-meter ceiling, let alone two meters.

As soon as he entered the cave, Gel saw a table made of tree stumps on the left, on which were placed some pots, pans, and miscellaneous daily necessities. On the right was a simple stone bed covered with hay. Apart from these, there was nothing else in the cave. It was obvious that this was Xia's residence.

After Xia entered the house, he first put down his gains of the day: two dirty leather jackets and a beret worn by a woman.

"Boy, this way!"

Just as Gel was visiting the old man's living environment, Xia had already walked deeper into the cave and signaled Gel to catch up.

"Coming~"

Gel followed Xia and turned two corners and passed through a relatively narrow aisle. Before he walked out of the passage, Gel saw a flash of golden light at the exit of the aisle, which made it impossible to open his eyes.

After exiting the cave, the view suddenly became clear. I didn’t expect that there was a bigger cave behind this small cave!

The space inside is much larger than the cave outside. It is at least as big as a standard basketball court, and is about 5-6 meters away from the top stone wall.

The space was large, but also very crowded, because the entire cave was filled with things. More than 3/4 of the space was filled with treasures, most of which was gold, and there were also quite a few valuable things such as gems, pearls, agates, and jade. It could be said that there was everything.

Even though it was covered with dust, it still couldn't stop the treasure from shining brightly, and it was this jewels and gems that illuminated the entire cave.

The remaining space was not idle, it was filled with all kinds of sundries. Obviously, all the things here were collected bit by bit by Xia from those shipwrecks over the years.

"Haha, what do you think, Gel? Feel free to take whatever you want from this pile of stuff! Even better if you can help me move it all out. I think it's a bit of a nuisance to have all these things piled here."

Xia pointed at the pile of gold treasures and said, then without paying attention to Gel who was in a daze, he walked to the place where miscellaneous items were piled nearby and began to search through them.

Gel looked at the pile of gold in front of him, his eyes began to sparkle, and he almost shot out lasers.

Why do I have the illusion that this is the golden country?

Gel shook his head to clear himself up.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, it is not surprising that there is so much gold in the stomach of this esophageal goldfish. This guy must have existed for a long time. It has eaten countless ships over the past few hundred years, and the treasures accumulated in its stomach are immeasurable. These are just what the old man Xia has collected. The actual amount must be far more than that.

"Senior Xia, did you move all these back?"

Geer was a little surprised, not only because of the amount of gold, but also because he was curious about how this old man had collected so much at home.

"Yes, I was young and strong at that time. When I first came here, I saw so much gold and treasure on the sunken ships. I thought I was lucky and had encountered a pie in the sky."

"I moved gold into the cave like crazy, imagining that one day I could live a good life with this amazing wealth. I never thought that I would never be able to get out, nor did I consider how to take all this stuff with me even if I could get out. Every day, I only knew to move gold into the cave except for eating and sleeping."

"Hahahaha! Now it seems that I was so stupid."

Xia smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Later I realized that this was not pie in the sky, but a mouse falling into a rice warehouse. No, no, no, I am worse off than a mouse falling into a rice warehouse. Although I am trapped as well, at least the mouse has endless rice to eat, while this pile of garbage is of no use to me and is not even as valuable as that half bag of nuts."

Xia pointed to the place closest to the aisle entrance, where a small sack of nuts of many kinds was placed. This should be the precious food he stored for emergency use.

"Later, as I got older, I no longer had the energy to clean them out, so I just left them there."

"Senior Xia! You are so awesome!"

After listening to Xia's feelings, Gel also had some insights in his heart, but not much. As the saying goes, one person's trash may become another person's treasure, so Gel decided to help Xia clean up this pile of "garbage"!

Because he now has the Gold-Gold Fruit in his hand, Gel will intentionally keep some of the gold unless he is really short of money.

Gel estimated in his mind that this pile of treasure would require a space of at least two to three hundred cubic meters.

Don't ask how I calculated it. A standard basketball court is 28 meters x 15 meters, 3/4 of which is about 300 square meters. Since this pile of treasures is in the shape of a pyramid, the height is about 1.5 meters, which is 450 cubic meters. And because there will definitely be many gaps when these treasures are piled together, the volume of the treasures is multiplied by 0.5, and the result is more than cubic meters. (Anti-Gank)

"Son, expand the system space."

【Ding】

Gel kept poking at the plus sign behind the space capacity on the pop-up system interface. Watching the balance number flashing continuously, Gel truly experienced what it meant to spend money like water.

Fortunately, the system had a change of heart and the activation price for the first 100 cubic meters was 1 million Baileys per cubic meter. After 100, it became 1 million Baileys per cubic meter. After 1000, it was discounted to Baileys per cubic meter, and so on and so forth, the price above that was Baileys per cubic meter.

[Ding! Ding! Ding!]

The more Gel clicked, the cheaper he felt it was, and the more excited he became. He almost mastered the six-style finger gun on the spot, without realizing that he had completely fallen into the consumption trap of the system. By the time he reacted, Gel realized that he had spent 28 billion Baileys to open up 1 cubic meters of system space.

Gel refused to admit that he was an irrational overspender. He could only force an explanation: 28 billion was just a drop in the bucket compared to the treasure in front of him.

Gel tried to let the system recycle a cubic volume of gold and found that the system's recycling price for one cubic volume of gold was about 4 million Beli. Based on this price, the total value of this pile of treasure is conservatively estimated to be more than 800 billion Beli.

(The bag of gold that the Straw Hat Pirates took away from Sky Island was worth 3 million Baileys)

Haha, this wave really made a fortune! As expected, good people will be rewarded! It's not that there is no retribution, it's just that the time has not come yet.

Gel almost laughed out loud, and he didn't care about anything else. He jumped into the ocean of gold and collected all the gold treasures in the cave into the system space!
