Reborn One Week Before the Apocalypse

Chapter 176: Chapter 166: The Real Tycoon

The extent of Tang Mo’s current wealth was beyond the imagination of ordinary people. It was something they simply couldn’t fathom.

When she had some free time before, she had roughly reorganized the Crystal Stones piled up in the empty area of her Space.

This was because everything in her Space moved according to her will.

So, Tang Mo easily used the native soil, stone, and wood within the Space to build three more large warehouses next to the existing one.

Each warehouse could hold about one hundred cubic meters of goods. Of course, these self-built warehouses couldn’t compare to the small one that came with the Space’s upgrade.

They didn’t have the time-stasis function and couldn’t preserve items, but they were more than enough for storing Crystal Stones.

Tang Mo’s High-level Crystal Stones filled one entire warehouse, while her Intermediate Crystal Stones filled one and a half.

Due to space limitations, the Basic Crystal Stones could only be stored in the remaining half-warehouse.

In addition, there were two small mountains of Basic Crystal Stones that still sat out in the open, as there was no place to put them.

At this point, Tang Mo’s Space was like a giant treasure vault.

The three self-built warehouses were used for Crystal Stones, and the system’s built-in warehouse was used for all sorts of rare and precious treasures she had collected.

Tang Mo was extremely satisfied.

One had to know that a chunk of Crystal Stone half the size of a palm was worth several hundred Crystal Coins.

And Tang Mo had a full three hundred cubic meters plus two small mountains of them...

”Two hundred High-level Crystal Coins.”

Qin Fen and Li Xian’s bids were still climbing, and each increase made the hearts of the people below pound with fear.

You have to understand, many people’s entire net worth wasn’t even fifty High-level Crystal Coins.

Now, each price hike was fifty High-level Crystal Coins. This was simply not something they could participate in. This was a battle between titans.

”Three hundred High-level Crystal Coins.”

”Three hundred and fifty.”

...

Qin Fen had clearly come prepared for this item. He had gone to great lengths to divert a considerable amount of money from his family. There was no way he was letting this go to someone else today.

As for Li Xian, he had only one treasured daughter. How could he possibly give up so easily? He was naturally determined to fight Qin Fen to the end.

Tang Mo didn’t even frown as the price climbed.

If she blurted out an exorbitantly high price right away, it would be too conspicuous, and she disliked doing things like that.

So, she could only wait for the two of them to bid for a while and join in when the time was right.

”They’re so rich,” Xiao Tao said, completely in awe.

”Who do you think they are?” Hu Laosan mocked Xiao Tao, but then proceeded to educate her on the basics of the base’s three great families.

Finally, when the price rose to five hundred High-level Crystal Coins, the voices of the two bidders clearly started to strain.

”Six hundred High-level Crystal Coins.”

At last, Tang Mo began.

Hearing a woman’s voice come from Qin Ling’s exclusive Sky Number Private Room, the people below didn’t pay it much mind.

Qin Ling was a man, after all. It was normal for him to bring a woman along to broaden her horizons.

However, those who were familiar with Tang Mo instantly recognized her voice.

Song Qing knew Tang Mo was back at S Base. He was currently watching his brother look up at the Sky Number Private Room with a gloomy expression, finding it hilarious.

Song Feng was clearly still hung up on the fact that Tang Mo was taken. After all, she was the strongest woman he had ever met.

An Yang, on the other hand, wore a grim expression.

’So it was Tang Mo who was competing with me for that Space Treasure earlier.’

’She must be doing this to target me on purpose. She must be.’

An Yang, who already held a grudge against Tang Mo, now hated her with a passion.

Humans, in their incompetence, always like to blame others, as if doing so will ease their own burden.

”Could this be Qin Ling’s doing?”

In the adjacent private rooms, both Qin Fen and Li Xian had clearly considered the same question. They didn’t believe a young woman like Tang Mo could casually produce so many Crystal Coins.

They both assumed that Qin Ling had returned to the base and was sitting in the Sky Number Private Room right now.

After weighing the pros and cons in his mind, Li Xian ultimately decided to give up and no longer compete for the Life Attribute suit.

He would just find something else for his daughter in private. It wasn’t worth offending Qin Ling over this.

”Qin Ling, why are you everywhere? Why do you have to fight me for everything!”

Meanwhile, Qin Fen gritted his teeth and smashed the cup in his hand.

The attendant beside him didn’t dare to breathe too loudly, not making a single squeak.

”Seven hundred High-level Crystal Coins.”

’So what if it was Qin Ling?’ He refused to believe it. He might not be able to compete with Qin Ling for other things right now, but to just hand over even an abnormal treasure like this? He wouldn’t accept it!

”One thousand High-level Crystal Coins.”

Tang Mo had originally wanted to be a bit more low-key, but now she was getting tired and just wanted to end this quickly.

”Twelve hundred!”

That was the highest amount Qin Fen could offer.

Although he had raised some money, it was only enough for him to make this one bid.

”Fifteen hundred.”

Tang Mo directly added another three hundred, effortlessly winning this battle of wealth.

Qin Fen collapsed onto his chair. There were no more cups within reach to smash.

’I will not admit defeat.’

The item quickly arrived before Tang Mo. After paying, she picked up the item from the platter, and her eyes lit up.

Holding the item in her hands was far more breathtaking than seeing it from a distance.

The texture was excellent; the moment she held it, she could feel that it was no ordinary item.

In the apocalypse, money couldn’t buy you everything. Truly good things still depended on fate.

As for this auction, Tang Mo couldn’t have been more satisfied.

”Night Elf.”

Tang Mo gave the Life Power Suit in her hands a name. It deserved to have one.

”Momo...”

Only when the item was right in front of her could Xiao Tao believe that what had just happened was real.

Fifteen hundred High-level Crystal Coins!

She already knew the value of Crystal Coins and understood even better what an immense fortune they represented—a number she wouldn’t even dare to dream of.

And Momo had just spent it all without even batting an eye.

”Is the Wen Family that rich too?” Xiao Tao asked Hu Laosan.

Hu Laosan had just given her a lesson, so she now understood just how wealthy the Qin Family and the Li Family were.

And she understood that Momo was part of the Wen Family. Was that why she was so rich?

”No, it’s Sister-in-law who’s rich.”

Hu Laosan looked at Tang Mo with adoration. Just as he’d suspected, his guess was right; their Sister-in-law was the richest person of all.

The Wen Family was indeed wealthy, but they had always been relatively low-key.

They would almost never make such an extravagant move on a whim.

Hu Laosan was certain that this was definitely Sister-in-law’s own money and had nothing to do with the Wen Family.

Furthermore, his intuition told him that Sister-in-law was even richer than the entire Wen Family...

”Ah.”

Xiao Tao was stunned for a long moment, slowly digesting this new information.

She gave Hu Laosan a hard pinch.

”HISSS! Ouch, what are you doing!?” Xiao Tao’s surprising strength made even the tough, thick-skinned Hu Laosan cry out in pain.

”So it really wasn’t a dream. I’ve actually latched onto a rich woman.”

Xiao Tao muttered to herself, then with stars in her eyes, she joined Hu Laosan in propping her chin on her hands, silently gazing at Tang Mo.
