Chapter 3 Emptying His Own Warehouse
Wenwen wasn't scared at all, and looked curiously at the...transparent little man in front of her...Teletubbies...SpongeBob...hard to describe...?
"Hey, Teletubbies sounds good. Let's go with that. Hehe~~~."
Wenwen's expression cracked: "You can hear my thoughts?"
"Nonsense, of course we can, you and I are bound together." The little voice was both cute and fierce.
Wenwen couldn't help but mutter to herself, "Tsk, what's there to miss about this lousy place? Getting tied up here is a losing proposition."
"This place is indeed dilapidated, all because of you."
"It's not my business?"
Wenwen was speechless for a moment, and a thought suddenly occurred to her: Did she need to do quests? Level up by defeating monsters?
The sweet, childlike voice mercilessly revealed the truth: "We do need to do a mission."
Wenwen's attitude immediately softened, "Oh, oh, so what mission do I have now? This place is so poor, how many missions do I need to complete to make it look decent?"
"Well, it depends on your own growth rate. It can be fast or slow. With your idiotic state, it's probably not going to work out."
"That's very impolite of you," Wenwen said, offering a slight objection.
"Alright, I'll be polite. You've been unconscious for three days, so your newbie gift will be forfeited if you don't claim it soon. Hurry up and collect it. Remember to check your weekly task list at the same time." With that, Teletubbies vanished in a blur and ran to the end of the embankment.
Wenwen!
She didn't know how to claim or view it, so she cleared her throat and shouted towards the earthen slope, "Claim your new bride gift!"
A familiar, stiff, mechanical voice immediately echoed in my mind: "Confirm to claim?"
"determine."
As soon as the words were spoken, a loud thud and a bang came from the end of the earthen slope, raising a cloud of dust. Through the dust, an oversized gift box appeared on the slope, square and with a grayish outer packaging.
Wenwen really wanted to run over and take a look, but then she thought she should check the mission first, just in case it was urgent.
"Check this week's tasks."
Two beeping sounds appeared in Wenwen's mind, displaying only two sentences:
【1---Collect your own warehouse.
2---Collect the family warehouse. (Optional)
Friendly reminder: Less than two hours until your home is raided and you are imprisoned.
Wenwen!
Is time really that urgent?
At the same time, a warning voice drifted from the end of the earthen slope, "Don't blame me for not warning you, time is of the essence!"
"Understood, we'll set off immediately."
In her desperation, Wenwen shouted: "Thor, get out!"
I appeared in the room in the blink of an eye, but not in the same spot as before. I didn't have time to investigate now; I'll deal with it later.
She walked around her room and saw that the canopy bed, tables, chairs, and screens were all made of rosewood, with exquisite craftsmanship and carving. They were very pleasing to the eye, proving that precious wood is indeed excellent.
Several valuable calligraphy and paintings hung on the walls, and the antique shelves were filled with various jade artifacts and antiques. The bookshelves were piled high with books, writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones.
The fact that the Wen family was so generous in providing a room for a girl shows how much care and attention they put into her.
Wenwen couldn't let her family's love go to waste, so she put it all into her space without hesitation.
Looking at her dressing table, there were all sorts of boxes and chests on it. Just opening the top few boxes, I was instantly dazzled by the glittering gold jewelry.
It's really a bit much to buy so much gold and silver jewelry for a ten-year-old girl... There are hundreds of pearl hairpins and hair ornaments, and the box is packed full.
Wenwen was shocked, but she took it without hesitation.
Next, she strolled into the dressing room, and as expected, the clothes were neatly hung up, in all styles, categorized by season, and there were probably hundreds of pieces.
Wenwen was having a headache. Could she possibly wear all these clothes? It seemed the Wen family had poured a lot of effort into her.
Not wanting to examine it any further, she took a few deep breaths, closed her eyes, and took everything away.
He walked around his room again, leaving only some everyday items like a table and teacups.
Wenwen dared not stop. If even her little maid's room had so many valuable items, one could only imagine what the Wen family's master's storeroom must be like.
She hurriedly changed into a coarse cloth outfit. Thanks to her usual mischief with her fourth brother, she had several sets of clothes that were neither male nor female in her wardrobe.
Wenwen fiddled with it for a while, then turned and went out.
It was nap time, and all the courtyards were quiet, exuding a sense of peaceful tranquility. No one knew that a storm was about to break.
Wenwen followed her memory and turned to the northwest corner of the backyard, where her grandparents' storeroom was located.
She made full use of her short and thin stature and worked hard to use her lock-picking skills from her previous life to successfully slip through the door and pick the lock.
He slipped into the warehouse, oh dear, how should I put it?
My grandfather had acquired countless riches through his military achievements, and with my grandmother's dowry, the room was crammed full, leaving no room to move. Every item in sight was priceless.
Wenwen went into a frenzy, taking everything she saw with a smile. After a frantic shopping spree, she finally realized that the empty storeroom didn't look very nice. After some picking and choosing, she tossed out two slightly crooked washbasin stands, placed them in the middle of the room, and turned to leave.
Next, Wenwen slipped along the wall to her parents' storeroom.
Thanks to the great care she received from her family, she had the opportunity to explore every corner of the courtyard and knew roughly where important things were kept.
After doing as instructed, he evaded the spies outside and entered the warehouse.
Her parents' storeroom was nothing compared to her grandparents'.
Although her father was a general, his military achievements could not compare with those of his grandfather, and the wealth he received was also very limited.
However, her mother's dowry was quite impressive, with more than a dozen boxes of antiques and calligraphy, more than a dozen boxes of silk and brocade, and countless gold and silver jewelry.
Wenwen glanced at them briefly and then happily took them all.
Climb over the wall, and the next house will be my second uncle's.
Upon entering the warehouse, a medicinal aroma greets you.
Wenwen looked around and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Like her father, her second uncle lacked military merit and was very poor in terms of wealth.
The storeroom contained only a small corner of my second uncle's belongings, and the items were sparsely arranged.
The rest of the items were all my second aunt's dowry.
There were more than a dozen boxes of valuable medicinal herbs, more than a dozen boxes of rare herbs, and more than a dozen boxes of finished pills.
No wonder the warehouse smells so strongly of medicine.
Wenwen was overjoyed. On the road to exile, there was a lack of medical care and medicine, and the worst thing was to get sick. These medicines would at least provide an extra layer of protection. How could she not accept them?
With a nervous heart, Wenwen climbed over the courtyard wall and ran all the way, feeling her way along the base of the wall to reach the courtyard in the northeast corner, which was her third uncle's courtyard.
My third uncle was a businessman, and my third aunt's family were imperial merchants. Clearly, the Wen family's wealthy life was inseparable from the efforts of my third uncle and aunt.
Wenwen was clearly prepared and even a little excited.
She used the same trick again, entered the warehouse, and was instantly blinded by the dazzling light.
Oh my god! So much money! What should I do? What should I do?
How lovely are all these shiny pieces of real gold and silver!
Wenwen went completely mad, taking away boxes and baskets of gold, silver, jade and jewelry, and no one could stop her.
Soon, Wenwen emptied the entire warehouse. Looking at the empty room, Wenwen was so excited she felt like she was flying.
The important warehouses in each courtyard were looted completely.
After collecting everything, Wenwen was panting and a little dizzy: it seemed that this body didn't have enough stamina, and she was already tired after running such a short distance.
After a short rest, they left the mansion through the small gate in the northeast corner and ran towards the Luo family's residence.
On the way, Wenwen was still thinking about how to sneak in. When she arrived at the side gate of the Luo residence, she happened to run into the maids and servants who were carrying vegetables at the gate. She lowered her head and hurriedly went forward to help, and picked up a basket of cucumbers by the door and went inside.
After entering the courtyard and looking around to make sure no one was there, I turned into the bushes and crouched down.
Glancing at the fresh cucumber beside him, he happily stored it in his spatial storage. "Dear Teletubbies, where is the Luo family's warehouse? Can you give me a hint?"
"The hint is fine, but two tasks are still needed."
"Deal, tell me the location quickly."
"Turn left after exiting the door, go through three connecting corridors, then turn right..."
