A lucky cat fell from the sky.

Chapter 17 The Bucket-Carrying Maid

Wu Cheng originally wanted to visit the places in the Four Heavenly Kings' memories, but before he could go, the Gu family's treasure-hunting competition began.

Wu Cheng was also invited. He had received an invitation to the Treasure Competition before, and now that Old Master Gu had specifically asked him to attend, it would be inappropriate not to go.

Moreover, Wu Cheng possessed items belonging to the Gu family ancestors, and he planned to take this inkstone used by Gu Bingzhang to the Gu family to see if he could try his luck.

Given Old Master Gu's generosity, he'd probably be willing to come up with around ten million.

Although I'll be at a slight loss, as long as I can get ten million, I can just discount it by recharging 500 gold coins and level up smoothly.

If I were to recycle all those inkstones, the gold ingots I would get would be enough to upgrade my membership level. At that point, I would be a silver member with a recycling limit of 1000 gold ingots, and I probably wouldn't feel like I was losing out by recycling anything anymore.

With that in mind, Wu Cheng hailed a taxi and arrived at the Gu family's villa on Qifeng Mountain.

This is one of two mountains in Longchu City.

Longchu City has two rather famous mountains, one in the south of the city and the other in the north.

To the south is Qifeng Mountain, where, according to legend, a phoenix once flew up and left behind many treasures.

The mountain to the north is called Qianlong Mountain. It is said that there is a dragon well and a dragon pool on this mountain, and that a real dragon is lurking here.

The biggest dream of the people of Longqiu is to live in Qifeng Mountain and be buried in Qianlong Mountain.

However, you can't do this without money.

In the Longqiu era, the number of families that could truly live in Qifeng Mountain and be buried in Qianlong Mountain could be counted on two hands.

The Gu family certainly has the right to do so.

It is said that this is entirely due to Old Master Gu, who is also a martial artist with unfathomable martial arts skills. It is also said that he once taught at a martial arts university and has a close relationship with the current Governor of Linyuan.

Some say that among Master Gu's students, some have entered the three ministries and four departments of the Jiuyuan Kingdom and held important positions.

The Gu family's attitude towards these rumors has always been neither to deny nor confirm them, which has made them appear quite sophisticated.

The Gu family's villa is located at the highest point of Qifeng Mountain.

This place boasts the best views and the freshest air. It's said that the Gu family also owns a natural spring on Qifeng Mountain.

The car could not go any further than a certain distance from the Gu family villa area, so the taxi driver dropped Wu Cheng off, and Wu Cheng had no choice but to walk to the Gu family.

Fortunately, the road was lined with exotic flowers and plants, and even some beautiful, unidentified butterflies flew by. Birds sang under the leaves, their voices incredibly melodious.

Walking on such a road is never boring, even though it's always uphill, Wu Cheng feels very relaxed.

Finally, they arrived in front of the Gu family's villa. Looking at the villa, it was built very luxuriously and grandly. Wu Cheng had a feeling that if he lived in such a house, even if he didn't practice martial arts, just breathing the air would make him much healthier.

He secretly calculated in his mind when he would be able to afford a villa like this.

Wu Cheng probably wouldn't have dared to dream of such audacity before, but things are different now. He's making money at a fast pace. He's only had the system for a few days, but he's already earned over four million. At this rate, he might be able to achieve a small goal by the end of the year.

Even if they can't afford a villa like the Gu family's by then, they can still find a smaller place to live in Qifeng Mountain.

Upon arriving at the Gu family's courtyard, Wu Cheng saw that the parking lot in front of the gate was filled with all kinds of luxury cars, some with bull's head logo, some with horse's face logo, and some with Neptune's fork logo. Wu Cheng had limited knowledge of cars, but he could tell at a glance that these cars were all high-end vehicles.

After taking only two steps, Wu Cheng was blocked by a young man dressed in luxurious clothes.

The young man was wearing clothes from Ruilongxiang, the best brand in Jiuyuan Kingdom. The whole outfit probably cost at least 100,000 yuan. Fortunately, it looked quite decent on him and didn't look like a waste.

"Sir, please show me your invitation." The young man said politely, but his politeness carried a hint of disdain, and a hint of expectation that Wu Cheng would not be able to produce an invitation.

Wu Chengxin said, "You're dressed so nicely, you must be here to participate in the Gu family's baby-fighting competition, right?"

Since everyone is here to participate in the treasure-hunting competition, why are you so free that you're checking my invitation?

He didn't indulge the young man and wanted to move on past him.

The young man blocked Wu Cheng's path again, with an expression that said, "Sir, please cooperate with my work. I am a security guard from the Gu family."

What?

In Wu Cheng's mind, thousands of alpacas rushed by, each one singing "Drop the Handkerchief".

I spent three thousand yuan on this outfit today, which is the most formal I've ever worn in my life, and yet a security guard is wearing a 100,000 yuan Ruilongxiang brand? Is there any justice in this world?

He had no choice but to take out the invitation that Old Master Gu had given him.

The security guard took the invitation and examined it repeatedly, even taking out an electronic device to verify its authenticity.

To be honest, if he hadn't authenticated it, Wu Cheng wouldn't have known that the invitation had anti-counterfeiting features.

After verifying everything, the security guard respectfully handed the invitation back to Wu Cheng with a smile: "I didn't expect you to be a guest personally invited by the old master. My apologies. Are you here incognito?"

Wu Chengxin asked me if this was what I meant by traveling incognito.

However, he did not refute it, after all, he had nothing to talk about with a security guard who looked down on him.

The security guard was very enthusiastic, leading Wu Cheng to the entrance of the lobby.

Upon entering the hall, Wu Cheng was immediately overwhelmed by its magnificent splendor. Looking at the handsome men and beautiful women in the hall, he saw that none of them were dressed in clothes worth less than 200,000 yuan. These were either the best brands in Jiuyuan or luxury brands from abroad.

If he hadn't come here, Wu Chengzhen wouldn't have known that money was so worthless.

Among these people, Wu Cheng spotted Lu Shao and Ma Yue at a glance.

Seeing Ma Yue's clothes, Wu Cheng felt a little better. He estimated that Ma Yue's clothes cost less than 10,000 yuan. Although it was a decent domestic brand, her outfit was really inconspicuous compared to the security guards who all wore Ruilongxiang and Gujia brands.

She didn't walk with Lu Shao, but followed behind him with her head down, carrying a large cardboard box. Overwhelmed by the brilliance of these handsome men and beautiful women, her originally decent appearance paled in comparison.

Looking at the shape of the cardboard box in her hand, Wu Cheng suddenly had a thought. Could it be that he had actually tricked Young Master Lu into buying that toilet?

It probably really is that toilet.

He looked at Ma Yue again and suddenly felt both pathetic and ridiculous. These people are all just shameless.

Instead of having the chance to be a goddess, she insisted on becoming Lu Shao's chamber pot maid.

A maid carrying buckets? Hmm, that name suits Ma Yue quite well.
