Based on the proportions, this fragment is about 20% larger than the previous one. Qin Yun’s price seems reasonable.

Hearing its value at twelve thousand yuan, Wu Qiulan was even happier.

In her mind, she thought it would be good if it was worth ten thousand yuan. Unexpectedly, it’s worth two thousand yuan more.

"Here is twelve thousand yuan, please count it."

Qin Yun didn’t waste any time and took out the money directly.

On his way here, he passed by a bank and Qin Yun withdrew twenty thousand yuan for this transaction.

Quickly, the transaction was completed. Wu Qiulan tightly held the small bag containing the money, while Qin Yun happily obtained the exotic fragment.

"Ms. Wu, if you find other antique fragments in the future, give me a call, and I’ll come to purchase them." Qin Yun smiled at Wu Qiulan.

He guessed in his heart that Wu Qiulan was certainly helping him constantly search and wouldn’t miss any place.

Therefore, he didn’t need to spend any effort.

"Okay, Mr. Qin!" Wu Qiulan nodded quickly. She decided in her heart that she would go home and search every corner of her house again.

"Alright, I’m leaving." Waving his hand, Qin Yun left directly.

Leaving behind Wu Qiulan and the little girl Lele watching his back. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

"Grandma, do we have money again?" The little girl Lele tugged on her grandma’s clothing cheerfully.

"Yes, we have money again."

Wu Qiulan’s face revealed a slight smile.

"Let’s go, Lele, we’re going to have something tasty tonight."

...

On the other side, Qin Yun looked at the crescent fragment in his hand and finally released his restraint over it.

Swish!

The fragment disappeared instantly, and as before, appeared again within the Wealth Gathering Array Source.

Currently, the Wealth Gathering Array Source was densely packed with light spots, but there was a second, much larger crescent fragment.

After the second fragment appeared, the first one immediately moved, like two magnets, they instantly stuck together.

The two fragments actually combined into one.

"What on earth is this?" Qin Yun was full of confusion, staring at it bewilderedly.

However, he wasn’t puzzled for long before information suddenly appeared in his mind.

"Name: Qin Yun."

"Level 3 Wealth Gathering Array: None"

"Level 2 Wealth Gathering Array: 112 seats (Used 112 seats)"

"Level 1 Wealth Gathering Array: 194 seats (Used 194 seats)"

"Balance: 3,451,615,000"

Seeing this information, Qin Yun’s expression changed.

"This is?"

The Wealth System information usually appeared on the first day of each month and got updated. Qin Yun could mostly summon the Wealth Gathering Array Source during normal times, which was that virtual copper coin.

But now, his Wealth System information appeared again!

This was the first time such an anomaly occurred.

After this information appeared, voices began echoing in Qin Yun’s mind.

"Due to unknown changes, the Wealth System is now updating. Host, please wait... Updating..."

Within three seconds, certain parts of this information abruptly changed.

"Name: Qin Yun."

"Level 3 Wealth Gathering Array: None"

"Level 2 Wealth Gathering Array: 112 seats (Used 112 seats)"

"Level 1 Wealth Gathering Array: 194 seats (Used 194 seats)"

"Balance: 4,451,615,000"

"System update complete."

"The balance has not reached ten billion, insufficient to activate a Level 4 Wealth Gathering Array."

Upon seeing the updated information, Qin Yun’s expression drastically changed.

"This..."

His eyes were full of shock. After the update, nothing else changed, but the system’s balance had directly changed!

"One billion! The system balance has directly increased by one billion!"

Previously, Qin Yun’s Wealth System balance was over 3.4 billion; now it turned into over 4 billion!

Of course, this balance is virtual, like points, and unrelated to reality, Qin Yun himself did not instantly gain an additional billion.

However, this balance is crucial for system upgrading!

"System, what exactly happened?" Stunned, Qin Yun quickly inquired.

"Host’s authority is insufficient to provide an answer!" The system coldly responded to Qin Yun’s query.

Qin Yun: "..."

This system was playing mute again.

However, last time the fragment removed the influence of the Seven Deadly Sins, this time it directly increased the balance. Their effects are different.

"Could it be that these fragments affect the system balance, and last time the Seven Deadly Sins were removed first because they appeared first?" Qin Yun thought quietly in his heart.

He pondered for a moment and suddenly said, "System, if I find more fragments, can the balance continue to increase?"

Initially assuming the mute system would once again be vague, this time it wasn’t silent and replied directly: "Yes."

"It really can!"

Upon hearing the affirmative answer, Qin Yun’s eyes gleamed with excitement.

Now, Celestial Fortune is continuously developing, generating profits of several hundred million each month. In reality, the expansion speed of Celestial Fortune has obviously slowed down.

Each month adds markets in only a few cities, which, in a month, generate only tens of millions in profit for Qin Yun.

At this moment, Qin Yun definitely wants the expansion speed to be faster.

Last July, the Wealth System was upgraded, activating a Level 3 Wealth Gathering Array. At that time, Celestial Fortune’s profits couldn’t even purchase a shop. Qin Yun was often taking loans from the bank and thought expanding a few city markets quickly in a month was splendid.

But now, with Celestial Fortune’s capability, it could be much faster, and Qin Yun was obviously a bit dissatisfied.

However, money isn’t so easy to earn, and Qin Yun could only gradually accumulate it, waiting for more than half a year to gather ten billion, then upgrade the system to level four!

But now, accumulating this fragment suddenly exploded the balance by one billion!

If more fragments are discovered, wouldn’t it mean gathering ten billion quickly? Qin Yun wouldn’t have to wait so long, and Celestial Fortune would expand faster, significantly shortening the time?

Thinking about this, Qin Yun suddenly turned back, preparing to find Wu Qiulan.

"Mr. Qin?"

Watching Qin Yun return, Wu Qiulan was puzzled.

"Ms. Wu, can you tell me where you found this fragment?" Qin Yun asked.

Upon hearing this, Wu Qiulan explained the situation briefly.

"Back in your hometown?" Qin Yun thought for a moment and said, "Ms. Wu, could you take me to visit your hometown?"

Earlier, Qin Yun valued the fragments but hadn’t reached that extent.

But now, since they could directly boost the balance, their importance in Qin Yun’s mind increased greatly.

"I have a sense for the exotic fragments. Wu Qiulan may not find them, but as long as I’m near one, I can undoubtedly sense it." Qin Yun thought silently to himself.

Of course, this chance is small, but not impossible.

Wu Qiulan didn’t refuse Qin Yun and led him back to her hometown.

However, after searching thoroughly, Qin Yun still didn’t find anything.
