Chapter 241

Not to mention how Li Lianhua was grumbling in his heart, the update of his Gold Finger was not yet complete, so even with a treasure chest placed right beside him, Li Lianhua had no desire to open it!

Thus, after waiting for another moment, the Gold Finger update finally finished!

Li Lianhua's focus was placed on the Gold Finger's update!

First of all, the updated feature was the addition of an appraisal function!

In short? Previously, the consultation fees Li Lianhua collected were only recognized in gold and silver; only gold and silver could be used to exchange for treasure chests!

But now, it doesn't just recognize gold and silver; other items, as long as they are of significant value, can be directly appraised and then used as consultation fees!

For example, jade ware, agate, gemstones, and the like can be directly appraised and used as consultation fees!

Additionally, there are precious materials similar to Cloud Iron from beyond the heavens, as well as rare medicinal herbs.

Even martial arts manuals and the like can be used for appraisal!

This function made the corner of Li Lianhua's eye twitch!

If one were to say it's useful? Other things can also be used as consultation fees, so it is indeed somewhat useful!

However, if one were to say it's of great use? This is merely increasing the variety of ways to obtain consultation fees.

If the consultation fees required to exchange for treasure chests continue to soar, these are all just flashy but useless things!

What is this somewhat similar to?

Housing prices keep soaring, to the point where ordinary people can no longer afford to buy a house!

Then, to stimulate people to buy houses, what strategies have been introduced?

For example, lowering the down payment ratio; previously the down payment was 30%, now it only requires 20%, or even 0% down payment!

What else? Extending the loan term; relay loans have entered the scene—if you can't pay it off in 30 years, you can take a loan for 40 or 50 years, and if you can't finish paying it yourself, let your son pay...

Good heavens!

Is it lowering the down payment and extending the term that the people want? Do these flashy things have any effect?

They do! But not much!

Not to mention how Li Lianhua was complaining in his heart.

This Gold Finger update, besides adding an appraisal function, had another feature!

Fixed-price treasure chest exchange!

Good heavens, he had just complained that the price of treasure chests was getting higher and higher!

This second function was aimed exactly at this point!

From now on, the prices of treasure chests are all fixed and unchanging!

That is to say, if you exchange for one treasure chest, it's this price; if you exchange for 10 treasure chests, it will still be this price in the future!

However, don't be happy too soon!

Although the price of the treasure chests is set, the quality of the good items that can be opened depends on opening the corresponding treasure chest!

In short, treasure chests are divided into five levels from low to high: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Diamond, and God-level!

Different levels of treasure chests can open items of different quality!

If you want good items, you can only go and open treasure chests with higher configurations.

Still want a situation where you open a 'Double-Handed Technique' for 10 taels of silver?

That is absolutely impossible now!

"That's fine, at least the price of the treasure chest determines the quality of what can be opened; clearly marked prices are acceptable!"

Looking at the second updated pricing function, Li Lianhua nodded, feeling satisfied.

When it all comes down to it, this Gold Finger update didn't seem to have any downsides for Li Lianhua, did it?

Thus, Li Lianhua's heart was much more at ease!

Additionally, the exchange prices for the five levels of treasure chests are also different!

For example, the lowest-level Bronze treasure chest requires 10,000 taels of silver in consultation fees to exchange!

The Silver level requires 100,000 taels!

The Gold level requires 1 million taels, and the Diamond level requires 10 million taels! The God-level treasure chest requires 100 million!

"Hiss, although the price is set, it's really not cheap!" Looking at the treasure chest exchange prices, Li Lianhua couldn't help but gasp!

Indeed, 100,000 taels of silver can only exchange for a Silver-level treasure chest?

I wonder what kind of items a Silver-level treasure chest can exchange for?

And what about the 1 million tael Gold-level treasure chest? What can it exchange for?

And those Diamond and God-level treasure chests—this made Li Lianhua even more expectant!

Most importantly, 100 million?

Is this definitely not a joke? Even if the Great Ming treasury were asked to produce 100 million, they probably wouldn't have that much cash flow, right?

Even if they used numerous treasures to exchange and appraise, for the Great Ming treasury, it would still be a bone-deep injury, right?

Li Lianhua silently complained again!

Forget it, the update is already finished, it's pointless to complain about these things now; let me first see what kind of items the Gold and Silver treasure chests can open!

Muttering to himself in his heart, Li Lianhua checked and saw that he still had 320,000 taels of silver.

First, he spent 10,000 taels of silver in consultation fees to exchange for a Bronze-level treasure chest and see!

Sure enough, the exchanged treasure chest looked like a bronze box, and it even looked tattered!

Li Lianhua complained in his heart about its appearance; it cost 10,000 taels of silver, and it looks like this?

Immediately, Li Lianhua opened this Bronze-level treasure chest.

Then, Li Lianhua looked at the item opened from the treasure chest, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly!

When opening treasure chests before, brilliant light would bloom; those special effects were truly not bad!

But this Bronze-level treasure chest opening? It doesn't deserve special effects, right?

As Li Lianhua's gaze focused, the function of the item opened from this treasure chest automatically appeared in his mind!

All in all, this is an electric fan!

That's right, it's the kind of floor fan essential for summer!

A thing that sells for a hundred or eighty yuan in the modern era, and you dare to charge me 10,000 taels of silver? This is more than just black-hearted; it's rotten to the core, isn't it?

Even if this electric fan (abbi) has some black technology, like being a solar-powered model that can blow for a whole day after an hour in the sun!

But no matter how you look at it, it's just an electric fan, right?

Most importantly, he wears clothes made of colorful cloud brocade, which are temperature-regulating and impervious to cold and heat!

What use could this electric fan have for him?

Li Lianhua silently complained in his heart, then thought, perhaps it's just that his own luck is bad? Let's try opening another one and see?

Another 10,000 taels of silver gone, and he exchanged for a Bronze-level treasure chest!

Good heavens, ten cases of Wuliangye!

That's okay! Wuliangye sells for about a thousand yuan a bottle in the modern era; one case has six bottles, so ten cases is sixty bottles, worth about 60,000 yuan?

Although it's still a loss, it's better than opening an electric fan, right?

Things shouldn't happen more than three times; let's try one more?

Just consider it as experimenting a bit more, so he can have a more accurate concept of the Bronze-level treasure chest?

Another 10,000 taels of silver vanished into thin air; this time, Li Lianhua's face looked even worse!

A flashlight, also a solar-powered model that charges in the sun, but a flashlight seems even cheaper than an electric fan, right?

Li Lianhua shook his head, having no more desire to open Bronze-level treasure chests, and his gaze fell upon the Silver-level treasure chest.

A Silver-level treasure chest costing 100,000 taels of silver should be much better than a Bronze-level one, right?

With some expectation in his heart, Li Lianhua consumed 100,000 taels of silver in consultation fees, and a silver-colored treasure chest appeared before him, which made Li Lianhua nod silently!

Not bad, at least in appearance, this Silver-level treasure chest looks better!

Immediately, Li Lianhua opened this Silver-level treasure chest, and a faint light appeared!

That's fine; compared to the Bronze-level treasure chest, it at least had some special effects; a Silver-level treasure chest costing 100,000 taels of silver is indeed different!

Following that, looking at the item that appeared in the treasure chest, Li Lianhua was first stunned, then overjoyed!

The item opened from this Silver-level treasure chest had been opened once before!

A sphere about the size of a ping-pong ball: a Dragon Essence fragment!

The Dragon Essence fragment he opened before had raised his cultivation to the Eighth Layer of the Yuqing Realm!

Now, he had opened another Dragon Essence fragment?

Then his cultivation could be raised by another notch!
