Apocalypse: I Have A Multiplier System - Chapter 128

Chapter 128: Chapter 128: Penalty: Death

How could he have found her body? If he had found it, then how was she alive?

It didn’t make sense, and yet his smile suggested that he was telling the truth.

At least the truth he believes is true.

But just as she opened her mouth to question him further, a sudden pressure enveloped her mind—a system notification.

The familiar, mechanical voice echoed within her consciousness, startling her:

[Ding! A special mission has been triggered. Keep quiet and let Qin Feng achieve his goal.

Penalty: Death]

Huh?

“Why? And what is Feng’er’s goal?” Su Jiyai asked.

[Sorry host, no further information could be provided.]

Su Jiyai was irritated.

This was the first time, a mission’s penalty was death.

“Oh? What do you plan to do then?” Su Jiyai continued to probe.

However this time instead of answering Qin Feng asked her,

“Why are you so interested?”

“Because the cat…”

“…rescued you, right? But I think this much information is enough. Now you have got the answer to your question I won’t hold you back.” Qin Feng said in a cold tone.

Su Jiyai’s lips twitched.

Her Feng’er is truly…so cute!

System: “…”

“No, no Mr. Qin, you are not holding me back at all. By the way, who were those two black-cloaked figures, just now?” Su Jiyai asked.

“I am not obliged to answer you.” Qin Feng pursed his lips.

“You are not. Indeed. However, I have solutions to many problems. If you answer my question I might be able to help you.”

If she can’t tell her real identity to her Feng’er, then it’s better to use it, right?

Qin Feng’s eyes narrowed, many thoughts flashed in his mind and finally, he asked,

“Do you have any solution for the rising temperature?”

Su Jiyai tilted her head and looked at Qin Feng with a serious expression,

“Why? You want to offer it to the base leader’s daughter?”

Su Jiyai couldn’t control the rising anger and jealousy in the heart.

Even though she knew the person who proposed marriage to Xuan Jin wasn’t her Qin Feng, but…

“No.” Qin Feng shook his head. “I want it for my subordinates.”

“Oh.” Su Jiyai sounded calm but the cold aura around her dropped a little. “I do have a way.”

The moment she finished her words, a cloak appeared on her hand,

“This is a Sun Proof cloak. Just like its names mean, it can protect you from extreme heat. Also, it has the function to fit according to the size.”

Relief washed over Qin Feng as he took the cloak from Su Jiyai.

“I want to buy such cloaks.”

“How many?”

“Around 10,000.” Qin Feng answered in a serious voice. “What is the price of these cloaks?”

“1 million federal coins per cloak.” Su Jiyai muttered in an absent-minded tone.

If Qin Feng wants to buy 10,000 cloaks, he will have to pay 10 billion federal coins.

Qin Feng thought for a while and answered,

“Okay, then I will write an IOU…”

“No need. I have negotiated with the suppliers and they agreed to sell a single cloak for 10,000 federal coins.” Su Jiyai said with a wide smile.

“What?” Qin Feng was surprised.

How can the staggering number of 10 billion fall directly to 100 million?

“Hm.” Su Jiyai nodded as she stared at Qin Feng with love in her eyes.

However, the system in her mind was repeatedly scolding her.

[Host you can’t be so unfair! You are buying 10,000 cloaks at the production cost. You won’t be able to make any profit from this deal at all!

Host! Are you listening? I can understand that you want to give the world to your lover, but this is too much!

How can you miss out on such a huge order? Host, at least increase the price to 20,000 federal coins! You can still earn some profits from it!]

Su Jiyai ignored the system’s complaints, her focus entirely on Qin Feng.

The way his brow furrowed in confusion and surprise made her heart skip a beat.

Besides, profit wasn’t always measured in federal coins.

“Are you sure about this?” Qin Feng asked, his voice filled with uncertainty. “I don’t want to take advantage of you.”

Su Jiyai smiled softly, shaking her head.

“You’re not. Consider it a favor. Your subordinates need it, and I want to help.”

Qin Feng stared at her for a moment, his sharp eyes searching hers as if trying to understand her true motives.

After all, he didn’t see Su Jiyai calling anyone, so with whom did she communicate?

Did she decrease it on her own?

But why?

Out of goodwill? However the Boss Su he knows, wasn’t the type of person who would suffer a loss.

So why was she ready to lower the price?

Was she planning something?

But Su Jiyai’s expression remained genuine and unwavering. Finally, he sighed and nodded.

“Alright. Thank you,” he said, his voice losing some of its earlier coldness.

“Of course,” Su Jiyai replied, stepping closer to him. “Just remember, if you ever need more, you know where to find me.”

Qin Feng frowned and suddenly created some distance between himself and Su Jiyai.

“I have a lover already. You know that, right?” Qin Feng asked in a wary tone.

Seeing the alertness in Qin Feng’s eyes, Su Jiyai suddenly wanted to tease him and hence leaned toward him,

“Um…maybe…maybe if I try a bit harder, Mr. Qin might look at me the same way you look at your lover?”

Qin Feng’s eyes turned coldly. His body unconsciously turned tense and the words that came out of his mouth were also harsh,

“Boss Su, l can’t understand why are you interested in an ugly person like me. For your information, my entire skin has been burnt and there’s nothing left that’s worth looking at.” Qin Feng’s voice was sharp and defensive, his eyes filled with coldness as he stepped further back from Su Jiyai.

Su Jiyai’s teasing smile faltered slightly, but she quickly recovered.
