Apocalypse: Infinite Supplies System

Chapter 265: unscrupulous merchant

His gaze rested on the new item being traded.

“Instant noodles?”

Wright blinked in surprise.

“Geez, even instant noodles are being put up for trade!” That was Wright’s initial reaction.

However, just as he was about to ignore it, he suddenly caught a whiff of the aroma of instant noodles.

In an instant, Wright’s appetite was aroused!

He found himself really wanting to have a taste of instant noodles.

Deciding to indulge, Wright thought, “Let’s buy some to satisfy my craving.”

With that in mind, he checked the price of the instant noodles.

He wasn’t expecting much, but after a glance, he was taken aback.

“Good lord, fifty experience points for a box of instant noodles! Are you kidding me?!”

Wright’s face twisted in pain.

He was almost tempted to curse aloud.

“This guy is seriously out to get me. Just a box of noodles and he wants fifty experience points! Do you know you only get one point for killing a level one zombie? Two points for a level two!”

Wright was beyond frustrated.

“I’m not eating these damn expensive noodles. I can’t!”

But just as he was about to leave, he couldn’t shake the smell of those noodles from his mind.

The aroma was fresh in his memory.

Finally, he decided to send a private message to the seller.

“Hey buddy, your noodle price is way too high. Any chance you can lower it? I could buy a lot if it’s cheaper. What do you think?”

If the price was right, stocking up wouldn’t be a bad idea.

However, despite waiting and waiting, there was no reply from the other end.

“What the hell? They should have seen my message by now. And it’s daytime, they can’t be sleeping. Why aren’t they getting back to me?”

Wright was starting to get angry.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got.

In frustration, he sent a dozen more messages.

“Hey, answer me!”

“Is this how you treat customers?”

“Aren’t you here to do business?”

“Do I need to complain about you?!”

Follow new episodes on the "N0vel1st.c0m".

…

Finally, the seller responded.

“The noodle price is already low. How much more do you want? Don’t be greedy!”

…

Meanwhile, Alex was busy reprimanding Mia.

She had just flirted with him earlier.

Even though it was daytime, such behavior needed punishment.

Little did he expect that at this critical moment, someone clueless would keep messaging him.

Alex was furious, wanting to tear the person apart.

“Damn it, disturbing my peace!”

What made him even more furious was Mia taking advantage of the distraction to escape.

Seeing her smug face only fueled Alex’s anger.

He reluctantly replied to Wright.

“Just five points for a box of noodles, and you call it expensive? Get lost!”

Initially, he had set the price as low as possible.

Five points per box.

That was fair.

Yet someone still dared to ask for a lower price.

Alex: Are you out of your mind?

To avoid further interruptions, Alex turned off his message notifications.

…

Unaware that he had mistakenly set the price to fifty instead of five experience points, Alex continued to glare at Mia maliciously.

“Heh, you can’t escape today! If you provoke me, you’ll pay the price!”

Before he could finish, Alex charged at the terrified Mia.

“Mia, run! He’s coming! Hurry, don’t just stand there!”

Olivia couldn’t stop laughing on the side.

In the end, Mia couldn’t escape his grasp.

And thus, Alex promptly “took care” of Mia on the spot…

In the end, Olivia also suffered the consequences and was devoured completely.

…

Wright stared blankly at Alex’s reply.

“Damn it, fifty experience points for a box of noodles, and you call it cheap? Are you serious?”

Wright couldn’t believe Alex had the nerve to call it cheap.

He really wanted to ask him, “Do you even know what fifty experience points mean? That’s like fifty regular zombies, or twenty-five level two zombies, or more than ten level three zombies! Not a small number, huh?”

“Forget it, not worth arguing with someone like you.”

Wright sighed helplessly.

He figured this guy was just looking to make a quick buck.

“Oh well, I’ll buy it this once. At worst, I’ll just get ripped off once!”

In the end, Wright couldn’t resist and bought a box of instant noodles.

…

Meanwhile, others also noticed Alex listing instant noodles on the trading platform.

But when they saw the high price, many were shocked.

When stocking up, they usually bought hundreds of boxes at once.

That way, they could sustain themselves for a long time.

However, with each box costing fifty experience points, it was simply unaffordable for them.

Moreover, instant noodles didn’t offer great value for money.

The most appealing thing about them was their taste.

They were okay for occasional consumption.

“It’s too expensive. It should be cheaper.”

This was the sentiment among many.

In the end, they gave up on the idea of bulk purchasing but couldn’t resist buying a small amount due to their craving.

Soon, a night passed, and it was the next day.

Alex decided that from this moment on, he would turn over a new leaf.

Completely bidding farewell to his previous laziness, he resolved to stay as busy as possible.

“By the way, I’ve accumulated ten survival points recently, so I can draw twice now,” Alex muttered to himself.

With that, he navigated to the interface for the Infinite Supplies lottery.

“Let’s do this!” Alex thought.

Each time he spun the lottery, he held some hope, yet at the same time, he tempered his expectations because each draw was entirely random.

Quickly, Alex drew two Infinite Supplies chests in succession.

“I wonder what’s inside. Hopefully, it’ll bring me a pleasant surprise,” Alex silently prayed.

Then, he opened the first Infinite Supplies chest.

“Congratulations! You’ve received an Infinite Surfboard!”

In the next moment, a board about two meters long and sixty centimeters wide appeared before Alex’s eyes.

“A surfboard?” Alex was slightly disappointed.

His luck seemed mediocre—it was just a silver-tier surfboard.

Nevertheless, it did seem to have practical value.

“We’re over the ocean right now, so a surfboard could be quite useful. Whether for myself or trading with other survivors, it’s a decent form of entertainment,” Alex thought, his eyes gleaming with a newfound perspective.

Like a hungry wolf spotting a lamb, Alex’s gaze changed.

“The second Infinite Supplies chest!”

Having opened the first one and now equipped with a surfboard, Alex couldn’t help but anticipate what might be in the second chest.

“I don’t need anything extraordinary; practicality is enough. At least it can be traded,” he thought eagerly as he opened the second chest.

“Congratulations! You’ve received Infinite Cola!”

The system’s notification rang out.

“What? Cola?” Alex almost couldn’t believe his ears.

Wow, it really was cola!

Alex’s eyes widened in surprise.

This was a wildly popular drink.

“Damn!” Alex exclaimed, pulling out a bottle of cola and taking a gulp.

It was incredibly refreshing!

“Just as I remember it! That unforgettable taste!” Alex’s face lit up with a smile.

He took another sip, finishing the entire bottle in one go.
