I will lead the whole village to occupy the land and become the king.

Li Dachui survived and became the luckiest person in the whole evening. It also boosted the morale of Dingshui Village. Those who originally disagreed with coming to rob food no longer had the same idea.

"The village chief must have foresight. If he hadn't brought us here to rob food, wouldn't we have to flee the famine?"

"What? It was Lu Yanzheng's family who asked us to come. She's the daughter of a scholar, so it's normal that she knows more than us, right?"

"You're right. Scholar Jiang is the only scholar in our area for so many years. He's much more knowledgeable than us..."

Everyone was discussing while searching in Qinggang Village.

Some people have changed their opinion of Jiang Qinyu, while others still look down on her, such as Wang Laizi, the husband of Wang Pozi.

"I see, you all have forgotten that you are men. You are a bunch of cowards, and you are actually being led around by a woman."

Village Chief Li happened to hear what he said, and he immediately yelled at him, "Wang Laizi, stop talking nonsense! If it weren't for Lu Yanzheng's family, we'd all be fleeing from the famine, and how could we have what we have now?"

In just a short while, the people of Dingshui Village found scattered food in many houses, ranging from five to ten kilograms, which added up to a considerable amount.

Moreover, the food that was previously stolen by the bandits was basically left intact at the kitchen door. With these things, their village could last at least another month or two.

Wang Laizi was so embarrassed that he ran to another room in shame.

"Liu Deshui, you go follow him. I'm worried about him searching the house alone." Village chief Li made no secret of his concern for Wang Laizi.

Wang Laizi has always had a bad reputation in the village. He doesn't interact much with other families on weekdays. When he was young, he only did petty thefts. His reputation only improved after he married Wang Po.

Upon hearing this, Liu Deshui immediately responded, "Okay, don't worry, Village Chief. With me here, he won't dare to do anything reckless!"

There was a drought the year he was born, so his father named him Deshui. As a result, it rained heavily on his third day of birth, which made Liu Deshui always regarded as a lucky star in the village when he was a child.

Unfortunately, the drought this time was so severe that his name was useless and his reputation as a lucky star was gone.

Village chief Li ran from house to house to arrange things, and soon forgot about Wang Laizi.

At this moment, Jiang Qinyu was alone in a place where food was hidden as indicated on the map.

She had deliberately left it here untouched just now, wanting to leave it for the villagers, but there were only five or six hundred kilograms of food in it, so she had to put some more in.

Jiang Qinyu took out all the food she had just found in the stable from the system and added some small items. When she saw the boxes piled together that she had brought out of the cave, her consciousness froze.

She had been too busy before and hadn't had time to check what was in the boxes, so now was a good time to take a look.

As she thought about it, the lids of all the boxes were opened, and then Jiang Qinyu stood there in a daze, her heart beating faster.

She brought out a total of eight boxes, three of which were filled with silver ingots, one was filled with gold bars, and the other four were filled with the dagger she had just used to assassinate the One-Eyed King.

Four boxes full of daggers! Where on earth did the One-Eyed King get all these?

As the box opened, Jiang Qinyu heard the system prompt again in her mind: [Ding! Detected that the host has triggered the system upgrade function. Would you like to submit and enable it? Important reminder: This is the initial version of the system. If you choose no, the system will not be able to be upgraded in the future!]

Jiang Qinyu's mouth twitched. Isn't this forcing people to choose "yes"?

Never mind, it’s not like she hasn’t played the game before, so just think of it as picking up a hidden reward for free!

Jiang Qinyu mentally chose yes, and then heard the system prompt again: [Congratulations host for enabling the system upgrade function! Please work hard to unlock the supermarket area. Once all are unlocked, the system will be upgraded to version 1.0!]

Jiang Qinyu: "..." What the hell, it's not upgraded immediately? She is doing this for nothing!

Wait a minute, that cheating system just said that she triggered the upgrade system function, but didn’t say what she had to pay!

When Jiang Qinyu regained consciousness and looked at the pile of boxes, she felt unwell.

I saw that the four large boxes that were just filled with gold and silver were now empty!

What made her speechless was that the gems on the daggers in the other four boxes were also gone!

Jiang Qinyu understood. This was a greedy system!

So much money! It was all gone in the blink of an eye. Jiang Qinyu's heart was bleeding.

But there is no point in regretting it, the right thing to do is to do the things at hand as soon as possible.

After Jiang Qinyu put the food away, she placed a dozen daggers in the open before running out to call for help.

"Uncle Village Chief, there is a cellar in this room, and there is a lot of food stored there!"

Hearing her cry, Village Chief Li immediately brought his men over and looked inside. "Where is it? Where is it? Who searched this house just now? How come they didn't even find the cellar?"

"Liuyazi and I searched together. We can't be so careless, right?" Meng Tianze rushed over with Liuyazi, with a bit of self-blame on his face.

Jiang Qinyu said to Meng Tianze: "Don't blame Uncle Meng, the entrance to this cellar is too secret, I found it by accident."

Who would have thought that the entrance to the cellar was not on the ground but on the wall? Or behind a straw hat? If Jiang Qinyu hadn't had the map, she wouldn't have found it.

"Okay, okay, hurry up and move the things up!" Village chief Li waved his hand. He thought it was a small matter as long as he found the food.

Having missed the chance to find food, Meng Tianze thought he couldn't miss the opportunity to help everyone, so he immediately rushed in first, "I'll do it, I'm strong!"

He had just entered for a while when he shouted out in surprise, "Village Chief, there are several thousand kilograms of food in there!"

Jiang Qinyu laughed to herself. In fact, there wasn't that much, only about two thousand pounds. She only kept the neatly packed grain bags in the cave, and put all the other hidden grains of the bandits in this cellar.

When they heard that there were several thousand kilograms of food, everyone gathered around and couldn't stop laughing.

Based on an average of one kilogram of food per person per day, there are less than three hundred people in their village, and they consume more than two hundred kilograms of food a day. The food in the cellar is enough for the entire village to eat for more than half a month.

If you save a little more, it will be enough to last you a month.

This gives them more time to stay. What if it rains during this time?

Seeing them happy, Jiang Qinyu walked towards Chen, "Mom, why are you here?"

Chen, whose smile hadn't faded since she had recovered the food, immediately waved to her, "Eldest brother's wife, this time it's really thanks to you, otherwise we would all have fled the famine. Don't worry, I've locked Shufan and Pan'er in your room with the same lock I use for your father's room. The second brother and his wife won't dare to cause trouble."
