Xiao Yu didn’t waste any ti, using eleven bottles for corpse disintegration on thirty-two bodies. Combined with the previous four bottles, that cost her one hundred and fifty thousand yuan.
She couldn’t afford to check the finances at that mont and swiftly moved to the second level of the ship’s cabin. This level usually contained the ship’s hardware and stored supplies.
Sure enough, as she made her way down to the staircase leading from the second floor to the first, she detected a distinct odor of decay.
Descending, she found the fish had gone bad, the vegetables were spoiled, and maggots were crawling everywhere—it was truly disgusting to the extre.
Xiao Yu felt a pang of disappointnt. After all her efforts, had this ship only been carrying thirty barrels of wine? Was there nothing else besides these?
Just as she was about to leave with regret, she suddenly heard a groaning noise from behind the vegetable racks.
She stopped dead in her tracks, steadied her nerves, and after carefully listening to confirm it was indeed a human voice, she hurried to the back of the racks.
Unexpectedly, she found a hidden trove behind them—a pile of rosewood chests. And by the pile lay a man in ancient robes, clad in white.
Approaching cautiously, she peered over and, behold, it was indeed a living person struggling to breathe. However, his condition was dreadful. Vomit and filth matted in his hair and stuck to his face, disguising his features. He was quite tall, very thin, with chapped lips and swollen lymph nodes—classic symptoms of the Black Death present all over him.
She pursed her lips, thinking that since she had found him, she had to rescue him.
She didn’t care whether it hurt him or not as she grabbed his arms and jerked him along to the deck above.
Then she returned to the cabin and opened the rosewood chests, discovering an array of antiques, jewelry, quality fabrics, rouge, and precious dicines—ten chests in total. It seed this was the ship’s most valuable cargo.
With greedy eyes, Xiao Yu murmured, "Liang Tian, do you think I can take all these items with ?"
Liang Tian scoffed, "What, getting excited?"
"Excited? Look at all these wonderful things! If I were to exchange them for food, think of how many poor people I could aid. And if I sold them in the Space Mall, how much money could they fetch?"
"These are indeed valuable goods. Selling them for several million should be easy."
"But I don’t want to sell them. Can I store them in the mall first?"
Liang Tian blatantly refused, "Sorry, you don’t have the required level to store them. Unless you reach Level 5, you have to either throw them away or... sell them here. The money from the sale can still be used to buy food to help the poor."
With the conversation having reached this point, what could she do? She could only watch helplessly as these rare treasures turned into a string of numbers: "6.78 million!"
Heh, it really wasn’t a small amount indeed—six to seven million. She hadn’t expected this man to be her lucky star, presenting her with such a large sum of money upon his arrival.
Aside from the gold and silver jewelry, she scavenged the entire ship again, collecting everything from the deceased bodies and their belongings, including Copper Coins and silver notes, and sold it all in the Space Mall, including the ship’s food supplies. This ti, she made another twenty thousand yuan, bringing her total to 6.89 million.
Well now, she hadn’t managed to glean a single tangible item, and yet she had brought back a man half dead. How to transport this person back ho was another matter entirely.
The small boats on the ship had vanished, likely taken by those who had managed to escape. She used rope to secure the man and then called out to her younger brother below.
"Co up here. We need to work together to get this man onto the boat."
