Upgrading the Treasure Basin Again

As Lin Shi's words just fell, the golden light on the interface flickered slightly, and the jewelry piled up like a small mountain immediately reduced by a large area.

The numbers on the Treasure Basin interface quickly flickered and settled down to become:

[Treasure Basin]

[Storage Space: 96*96*96]

[Wealth Points Required for Upgrade: 32,000]

[Function: Item Duplication*45]

[Wealth Points Required for Upgrade: 160,000]

The upgrade pattern for the number of items is the first upgrade +3, the second upgrade +6, the third upgrade +12, and this is Lin Shi's fourth upgrade, which added a full +24 times!

At the same time, the amount of precious metals needed for the next upgrade has also increased.

It was previously 80,000, and later Lin Shi gave the extra gold to the item duplication for consumption, which became 58,000.

This time it directly became 160,000.

160,000 wealth points are equivalent to 16 kilograms of gold.

Rose gold and platinum can also be consumed, but they do not reach the 1g:1 ratio that gold can achieve.

Silver can only be exchanged at a rate of 100g for 1 wealth point.

As for diamonds, the Treasure Basin seems not to recognize this stone that has been speculated to a sky-high price.

Or only precious metals can be consumed by the Treasure Basin?

Lin Shi put aside these thoughts and continued to upgrade the item duplication.

The fifth upgrade.

Item duplication times +48.

Continuing to upgrade requires 320,000 wealth points.

The sixth upgrade.

Item duplication times +96.

Continuing to upgrade requires 640,000 wealth points.

Lin Shi glanced at the gold and silver jewelry on the ground, which had already reduced by more than half.

According to this upgrade pattern, the next upgrade requires more than a million wealth points.

The gold and silver in front of him should not be enough.

He chanted the upgrade again.

This time, it added a full 192 times of item duplication.

[Treasure Basin]

[Storage Space: 96*96*96]

[Wealth Points Required for Upgrade: 32,000]

[Function: Item Duplication*381]

[Wealth Points Required for Upgrade: 1.24 million]

The remaining gold and other jewelry, Lin Shi roughly estimated, could still be exchanged for four or five hundred thousand wealth points.

It is indeed far from enough to upgrade the next level of item duplication.

Lin Shi chose to upgrade the storage space.

After upgrading five times before, the space has the current size.

The gold required for space upgrades is much less than that for item duplication, and he estimated that after upgrading four or five more times, it would be enough without needing to upgrade the space in the future.

"Upgrade all storage space."

Lin Shi said decisively.

With the words falling, all the jewelry under his hand disappeared except for the diamonds.

This time, the upgrade time of the Treasure Basin obviously took much longer.

After the numbers on the Treasure Basin changed four times, it became:

[Treasure Basin]

[Storage Space: 1456*1456*1456]

[Continue to accumulate 985,755 wealth points to obtain a complete storage space.]

[Function: Item Duplication*381]

[Wealth Points Required for Upgrade: 1.24 million]

Complete storage space?

Lin Shi was slightly stunned.

He has always had a guess in his heart, if the Treasure Basin is upgraded to an extreme, some unexpected changes may occur, and he didn't expect it to be achieved so soon.

Lin Shi's heart beat slightly faster.

The storage space has been upgraded five times before.

Adding the four upgrades now, that is to say, at most only ten upgrades are possible?

Lin Shi took out paper and pen and began to calculate silently.

According to the rule that the wealth points required for each upgrade of the Treasure Pot doubles.

The wealth points needed for the tenth upgrade of the original storage space should be 512,000 points, but now, after absorbing the excess gold and silver, it still requires more than 980,000.

Lin Shi frowned slightly.

That is to say, the wealth points required for the last upgrade are no longer doubled, but quadrupled!

The item duplication has been upgraded seven times, and if it is also upgraded ten times to the maximum level, then he still needs...

20.82 million wealth points.

That is to say, he still needs to collect more than two tons of gold!

Or more other precious metals!

Lin Shi immediately opened the Sha City map to check.

The gold shops that he had previously raided had been crossed out by him.

There are not many gold shops left on the map.

Sha City is not a large urban area, and in just one day, 60% of the gold shops have been visited by him.

The remaining ones are all in the suburbs, not only will the collection speed slow down, but the number of gold shops is also not many.

It is far from enough to collect two tons.

Lin Shi pondered for a moment and immediately thought of the bank's vault.

But he immediately denied this idea.

When he went out to collect supplies today, Lin Shi had seen that most banks were all locked, although unguarded, but the walls of the banks are all anti-explosion walls, and the glass is bulletproof glass.

Not to mention the bank vault, it is said that bombs cannot blow it open.

Even if there is no one guarding, with the firepower he has in his space, breaking the bulletproof glass is already extremely difficult, and opening the bank vault is simply a pipe dream.

Lin Shi glanced at his hand, wondering if the space of the Treasure Pot could take the gold inside the bank vault through the wall of the bank vault?

Thinking of this, he immediately stood up and walked towards the wall.

To know if it is possible, it is very simple, just try it with his own safe room.

The outer wall of his safe room is more than three meters thick, but the inner walls that divide the rooms inside are not that thick, about thirty centimeters thick.

Let's try his own room first!

Lin Shi put his hand on the wall connecting the bedroom.

Close his eyes and communicate with the space with all his thoughts.

When his thoughts are connected with the space, there is always a feeling that consciousness can be vaguely scattered.

Before, when he took away the things inside the container and suitcase, he had a feeling that his consciousness could vaguely touch the things inside.

But at this moment, as soon as his consciousness just had the idea of taking away the items in the room, a sharp pain like a needle pricked his brain.

Lin Shi immediately disconnected the connection with the space.

The whole person also squatted on the ground.

"Wang!"

Seeing this, the Demon King trotted to Lin Shi's side and anxiously circled around Lin Shi.

Lin Shi endured the sudden nausea and dizziness, and squeezed a smile to the Demon King with anxious eyes,

Said: "I'm fine."

Lin Shi rested for a while, and the feeling of nausea and discomfort gradually subsided.

At this time, his heart has already cooled down a lot.

He tried other things in disbelief.

From cups to iron boxes, to cabinets and so on, he tried everything he could think of.

Lin Shi finally figured out the limitations of remote acquisition.

Whether remote acquisition is successful or not is related to the thickness and density of the container that separates the object.

To remotely take away something inside a container, first of all, no matter what it is, the maximum thickness of the container cannot exceed five centimeters.

Secondly, the greater the density of the container, the lower the thickness limit.

For example, after Lin Shi assembled a box shape with several alloy plates, he found that it would also be the same situation as before when he wanted to take something from the living room to the bedroom when it exceeded three centimeters.

"It seems that this way is not feasible."

Lin Shi rubbed his swollen temples.

To collect items through a container, it must be something with a relatively thin thickness and not too high density.

The bank vault obviously does not meet this condition.

It seems that there is only one other way, after collecting the gold shops in Sha City, go to other cities around Sha City to collect gold.
