I only have passive skills, so I'm extremely cautious

"Sir, this is the truck you rented. Do you need my help moving it?" A driver jumped down and handed the car keys to Chen Zhong.

While speaking, he was also looking around with doubt and curiosity. The entrance to the forest trail and the edge of the road were sparsely populated, and it was still midnight.

"No, someone helped me move, but I just found that there were not enough vehicles." Chen Zhong smiled and refused decisively.

The driver didn't think much about it and took out a small electric donkey from the truck compartment. "Then I won't bother you. When you are done, call our company and someone will pick up the car."

When there were few vehicles, Chen Zhong sat in the driver's seat, recalled his driving experience in his previous life, checked whether all the indicators were normal, checked the surrounding road conditions, put on the seat belt, released the handbrake, shifted gears and stepped on the accelerator, took a deep breath, and then slowly drove into the forest trail at a safe speed of 20.

When driving, you must also be cautious and steady. If you are not careful, you will overspeed and overturn, and you will be handcuffed if you are not careful.

The scene changed.

Chen Zhong was on the first floor below ground in the small villa, standing in front of a metal wall made of alloy. He needed to enter a password to open it.

He had sneaked in before and found this basement. He could guess with his little finger that it contained Zhang Ming's life-long accumulation.

Chen Zhong now needed a large amount of spiritual stones to ensure the stable operation of the spiritual formation at home. The consumption in the past few days had gradually exhausted the reserves left by his cousin.

For the sake of the safe house, it was necessary to take a risk.

Otherwise, Chen Zhong had several opportunities to kill Zhang Ming.

A cautious outlook on life is not only limited to the present, but also to expand the horizon and plan for the long term.

"mqhzm888."

The mechanical sound sounded, and the metal door slowly opened a small door that only one person could pass through.

Before entering, there was a vigorous spiritual power overflowing and hitting his face, instantly refreshing and full of energy.

The first thing that came into view was a few red "pyramids", the hundred-yuan banknotes issued by the Chiyan Empire, the most valuable currency in the world.

Roughly estimated, there are still several hundred million.

Of course, these are not very attractive to Chen Zhong, the focus is on the several retro big boxes at the back.

It is filled with diamond-shaped crystals, crystal clear, with a light blue color, filled with the purest attributeless spiritual power, which can be absorbed and cultivated by spiritual warriors of any attribute.

The uses of spiritual stones are diverse. In addition to cultivation, there are also spiritual array layout, spiritual weapon casting, new energy development, etc.

Ninety-nine percent of spiritual mines are controlled by the three empires and seven major forces, which can be regarded as holding the lifeline of all practitioners in this world. The value of spiritual stones themselves is related to the production volume in recent years. If the production volume is good and there is no emergency, the price of a spiritual stone is about 10,000 to 30,000 Chiyan coins. If the production volume is not good, or when the demand for spiritual stones is high, it may rise to 100,000 or even 200,000.

Therefore, cultivation is really not something that an ordinary family can afford. The "wealth, law, companion and land" in the immortal cultivation novels are not just a joke.

Most people will choose to rely on a certain force, you pay money and I pay for the work.

"Five hundred in one box, four thousand in eight boxes." Chen Zhong's eyes lit up, these four thousand spirit stones should be enough for the family.

These four thousand spirit stones are Zhang Ming's personal cultivation materials, not the reserves of Mingqihui. Although Zhang Ming is dead, Mingqihui will not fall easily. After all, the old president is still there, and Chen Zhong can't risk buying at the bottom.

In addition to these, there are a lot of collections in the basement.

Jade-sealed herbs and elixirs, various human-level skills and spiritual techniques, and high-quality first-grade spiritual tools.

"Flame Explosion?" Chen Zhong took out an exquisite fiery red scroll from the bottom of a pile of scrolls. This is the human-level advanced amplification spiritual technique used by Zhang Ming.

After counting, there are four human-level intermediate spiritual techniques, only one human-level advanced, and the remaining dozen low-level ones are also outstanding in the same level.

Chen Zhong found all the boxes and vacated them. Just because he couldn't use them didn't mean they were useless. Wouldn't it be nice to sell them or auction them off to exchange for spirit stones and materials needed to set up spirit formations?

"I actually have this!" Chen Zhong smiled and took out a small box from a pile of spirit tools. After opening it, he found a simple black soft-band bracelet with a small silver diamond inlaid between the straps.

A second-grade storage spirit tool with a space of two meters in length, width and height, which can hold dead objects.

A storage spirit tool requires extremely precious space raw stones, starting from the second grade, and the price is among the highest among the same-grade spirit tools.

Buzz——

Chen Zhong input a stream of spiritual power into the bracelet, and then dripped a drop of blood on the space raw stone to complete the recognition and binding.

"Is this... a second-grade spiritual pill?" Chen Zhong turned to a large shelf, which was full of first-grade pills. On the top layer, a jade bottle was hidden secretly. After opening it, the fragrance overflowed and filled the room.

Chen Zhong didn't know much about elixirs. He only knew that they were divided into nine grades like spiritual weapons and spiritual formations, and their effects corresponded to nine major realms.

Fortunately, there was a note under the bottle, which read, "Second-grade healing elixir, excellent efficacy, no side effects, has a miraculous effect on spiritual warriors in the spiritual body realm and blood surge realm, and can save a life in a life-or-death situation."

It can save lives!

Good stuff!

"Is it almost done?" Chen Zhong first put the first batch of things into the bracelet, and then sent it to the small truck, repeating it over and over again, and only emptied it after more than a dozen times.

Collapse...

A scroll cylinder suddenly fell from the remaining debris on the ground and rolled to Chen Zhong's feet.

Here it comes! Opportunity!

It's very dirty and old. The dust that came out when it was unscrewed must have been aged for at least ten years.

There was a leather picture lying alone inside. At first glance, it looked like a map. A closer look revealed that it was indeed a map, but the lines on it were completely scribbled, the location marks were all incomprehensible symbols, and there were no text annotations in the corners. It was believed that it was something from another world.

"Is this... a treasure map?"

Chen Zhong, who had rich experience in reading online articles, frowned and immediately paid attention. The more plain and unpretentious the map was, the more likely it was to hide treasures.

"Ancient and old, with unknown origins, this means that the map itself and the treasure place may be in danger. My current strength is not much stronger than that of ordinary people. I don't want to think about this for now. I'll talk about it when the fate comes." Chen Zhong put away his thoughts that were beyond the scope. According to the direction of the novel, this kind of thing must be handled by one side before it can be touched.

So, the map continued to be placed in the bracelet and covered with dust.

...

On the road outside the forest, a small truck drove away. The driver was Chen Zhong. He changed into the work clothes and peaked cap in the car.

In the forest, the small villa had been destroyed by the spirit formation. Only a little dust and residue of earth and bricks remained on the muddy ground. It was impossible to tell that there had been a mansion here.

The small truck entered the suburbs of Linglong City. In a wasteland, there was a van that Chen Zhong had prepared a week ago. After changing the place of things and calling the car rental company, Chen Zhong drove away.

After entering the city, he did not go home directly, but wandered around aimlessly for a few times, and then found a moving company to let them deliver the things to the community.

The things were not moved to the house, but were placed in a rented private warehouse by Chen Zhong and locked with eighteen locks.

After all, he would have to face Jia Shuangshuang later, and people's hearts were separated from his stomachs. He only let go of his vigilance against Jia Shuangshuang by 10%.

At home, a girl and a cat were looking forward to it. "Stranger Things" was playing on TV, and a girl who was afraid of dragons turned pale.

Originally, I couldn't sleep because I was worried about Chen Zhong, but I couldn't sleep after watching TV.

"Zhang Ming is dead, you can start to take care of your parents' funeral." Chen Zhong smiled.

Jia Shuangshuang, who couldn't fall asleep, was filled with tears and trembled as she threw herself into Chen Zhong's arms, "Thank you... Thank you... I will definitely repay your kindness!"

Chen Zhong, who had lived two lives, felt for the first time the sincere embrace of a fifteen-year-old girl... It seemed... It was not as comfortable as hugging Daju.

Chen Zhong pushed the soft and fragrant body away like a gentleman, "This is also to eliminate danger for myself. Don't think too much. Since Zhang Ming is dead, you go back. Let's try to have less contact in the future. Also, I suggest that you leave Linglong City and seek refuge with a cousin or aunt."

Jia Shuangshuang was stunned, her eyes were red, and she was about to cry, "Are you worried that Mingqihui's revenge will involve me? But this matter itself has nothing to do with you, I must repay you!"

"No, you think too much, I am just used to being alone, and I will accept a fat cat at most." Chen Zhong answered politely but awkwardly.

Jia Shuangshuang was right. Chen Zhong really didn't want to let troubles come to her in the future. This was only one reason. The more important reason was that she was an outsider.

People who have slept together for ten years may not know each other well. They sleep on a big bed on the floor, which is at most a period of time.

Only by decisively cutting off the entanglement between the two can we avoid all kinds of troubles in the future!

Having said this, Jia Shuangshuang nodded absent-mindedly and left the door reluctantly.

"Wait!" Chen Zhong shouted.

Jia Shuangshuang was startled and turned her head back in ecstasy, staring at Chen Zhong with expectation.

"Put it down." Chen Zhong pointed at the big orange in Jia Shuangshuang's arms.

The big orange rubbed the back of his head, very reluctantly.

Jia Shuangshuang (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻

Ah! Iron Ambition is the most annoying thing!
