Found 100 Million In My Rented Apartment Chapter 1
My Phone Can Automatically Find Treasure!
In a dilapidated, aging rental unit near Zhonghai University within Zhonghai City.
Ye Feng had just finalized the lease and watched the landlord depart when a chime echoed inside his mind.
[Congratulations, Host. You are now bound to the Treasure Hunting System.]
Simultaneously, the navigation app icon on Ye Feng’s smartphone flashed with a brilliant white radiance before reverting to its usual appearance.
What was happening?
Ye Feng stood there, slightly stunned.
As an avid reader of webnovels, he was well aware that a "System" was the standard equipment for any main character.
He didn't reject the idea; in fact, he looked forward to such a thing, though the reality of it felt somewhat surreal.
Unexpectedly, while he was still dazed, another system notification rang out.
[92 kilograms of stolen money has been detected.]
[The Treasure Hunting System is guiding you. Walking navigation has begun. Please proceed forward and to the left from your current position; you will reach the destination in 6 meters...]
Six meters to the left?
Wasn't that the location of his own bedroom?
Ye Feng wore a peculiar expression. Could the system be malfunctioning already?
He had inspected the bedroom earlier. It was empty aside from a bed, so where could there possibly be treasure?
However, considering the system mentioned 92 kilograms of stolen loot...
Since it was right there in the bedroom, it wouldn't hurt to take a look.
With that thought, Ye Feng headed toward the room.
As he walked, he analyzed the data provided by the system.
Because it was described as stolen money and weighed so much, it had to be physical cash.
Generally, hidden cash would consist of red notes.
A single red note weighs approximately 1.15 grams, so if there were 92 kilograms...
Ye Feng’s mind raced as he performed the mental math.
92 kilograms of red notes was the equivalent of 8 million in cash.
A full 8 million!
Just as he reached this conclusion, Ye Feng arrived at the bedroom door.
He began scanning the space thoroughly.
From the doorway, it was obvious that the room only contained a single bed, and there was nothing visible beneath it.
If that was the case...
The illicit funds had to be concealed within the walls or beneath the flooring.
Prompted by this realization, Ye Feng hurried to a wall and rapped his knuckles against it.
A dull, heavy thud echoed back.
It was solid.
No money was hidden there.
Shaking his head, he tested another spot, but it remained solid as well.
It appeared the walls were empty.
Next, he crouched down and tapped on a floor tile.
He had planned to check the remaining three walls if the floor proved solid, but he didn't expect...
Bang, bang, bang...
That hollow sound...
It was empty beneath!
F*ck!
The floor was actually hollow!
Surging with excitement, Ye Feng reached out and knocked on a different tile.
Bang, bang, bang...
It was the same; a hollow echo.
He tried another one.
Bang, bang, bang...
Still empty!
After a short while, Ye Feng had tapped every tile in the room, even those hidden under the bed. They were all hollow.
By now, he had zero doubts regarding the system’s treasure-seeking capabilities. The only problem was how to extract the cash hidden inside.
Should he just smash the floor open?
No, if the soundproofing was poor, the neighbors might complain about the noise disturbance.
Furthermore, if he ruined the floor, he wouldn't be able to explain it to the landlord.
Was he stuck just standing guard over this fortune?
Wait, that's not right!
Ye Feng suddenly recalled seeing a loose tile beneath the bed.
Maybe he could start prying from that spot.
‘I'll give it a shot. If it fails, I'll just smash the floor. If the landlord asks questions...’
‘I'll deal with that when the time comes!’
After shoving the bed aside, Ye Feng knelt down and used a knife to pry at the edge of the tile...
Before long, one side of the tile was noticeably higher than the rest of the floor.
Setting the knife down, Ye Feng gripped the edge and pulled. Without needing much force, the entire tile came loose.
It actually worked!
Overjoyed, Ye Feng carefully set the tile aside and peered into the gap.
A layer of black plastic was visible beneath the tiles.
Without a moment's hesitation, Ye Feng reached down and ripped the plastic away.
Immediately, the contents hidden beneath the sheet were revealed.
It was money!
And they were all red notes!
They were arranged in neat, orderly rows across the ground.
Staring at the bundles of cash, Ye Feng felt a surge of adrenaline, but he forced himself to stay focused.
This was only the start!
Stifling his inner excitement, Ye Feng proceeded to remove the remaining tiles.
The tiles were bonded to the cement, but luckily the layer was thin, allowing them to be pulled up with just a bit of effort.
One, two...
Soon, the entire bedroom floor had been dismantled and moved into the living room.
He returned to the bedroom and began hauling away the black plastic sheeting.
The second the plastic was fully removed, the ground beneath appeared entirely red.
The floor of the entire bedroom was carpeted in red notes!
The room wasn't large—roughly ten square meters—but stacks of red notes, about two to three centimeters thick, were packed tightly together.
The sight was nothing short of spectacular!
This was 8 million...
Looking at the fortune laid out before him, Ye Feng’s heart hammered against his ribs.
He had never laid eyes on such a massive amount of money!
Even though he knew 8 million yuan was hidden here, that was just a statistic. The visual impact was infinitely more powerful than the number itself.
What's more, all of this belonged to him!
In that moment, only one thought filled his mind: He had hit the jackpot! He was filthy rich!
