Apocalypse: I Have A Multiplier System - Chapter 36

Chapter 36: Chapter 36: Charging Low Price

Just 5 crystal cores!

“The reason why I am charging so low is because I am impressed by your honesty. Now go and call your group members.” Su Jiyai continued.

Zi Jiao almost jumped with happiness.

“Let’s go!” He said to Nan Wurong and turned to leave. However even after he walked 10 steps, he didn’t hear Nan Wurong’s footsteps.

Turning around, he saw Nan Wurong staring at the car in a daze.

If it was other times, Zi Jiao would have definitely scolded him.

But today, because of Nan Wurong he got this unexpected pie, so he was particularly tolerant of Nan Wurong’s stupid behavior.

“Brother Nan, let’s go. Your Qin’er is waiting for you.”

This one sentence was enough to make Nan Wurong snap out of his daze.

He quickly followed Zi Jiao back to their group, his face lit with excitement.

As they approached, Mu Qin, who had been waiting impatiently, pounced on them with a barrage of questions.

“What took you so long? Did they agree to give us a ride?” she demanded, her eyes glittering with anticipation.

Zi Jiao nodded with a grin.

“Yes, they agreed. But there’s a condition. For mercenaries, it’s 5 crystal cores per person, and for soldiers, it’s only 2 crystal cores.”

Mu Qin’s face fell slightly, but she quickly masked her disappointment.

“Fine, as long as we get to ride in that car.”

However, in her heart, she cursed the mysterious owner. Why was he giving special preference to soldiers?

Can’t he give special preference to a beautiful girl like her?

However, she instantly consoled herself.

Maybe he had not seen her beauty yet and hence was so cold!

Just wait! Once he sees her beautiful face, he will fall for her!

Dong Junhua frowned and asked,

“Wait! Why is he offering a lower price for soldiers? What’s his reasoning behind it?”

(Author: She thinks the person who owns the car is a man.)

“Maybe he was a retired soldier?” Fei Bao guessed.

Dong Junhua bit her lips.

“What if he is a scammer?”

Mu Qin rolled her eyes,

“What do you have, to fear scammer? You are not rich, don’t own a car, don’t have a good face, and don’t even have a wealthy background!”

Nan Wurong frowned,

“Qinqin, don’t talk about Hua like this.”

Dong Junhua glanced at Nan Wurong.

Sometimes she truly couldn’t understand him.

He would take a stand for her when she was mistreated but then he would be completely blind to Mu Qin’s manipulative nature.

Dong Junhua sighed, deciding to drop the topic. There was no point in arguing further.

“What did I say wrong? She is too suspicious! Let me make it clear! No one would be interested in a poor woman like you…”

“Mu Qin, it’s better to be cautious. Not every glitter is gold.” Fei Bao warned.

If someone heard the word properly they would hear the hidden meaning in it.

He was berating Mu Qin for being a glitter that isn’t gold.

How could Mu Qin the green tea b*tch can’t hear the hidden meaning in his words.

She was instantly angry.

“Let’s just get in the car,” Dong Junhua said, brushing off Mu Qin’s hurtful words.

The group approached the car again, with Zi Jiao and Nan Wurong leading the way.

As they piled in, Mu Qin strategically positioned herself closest to the front, hoping to catch Su Jiyai’s attention.

She was regretful that she couldn’t sit in the passenger seat. But thinking it was reserved for the future Mrs. of the mysterious man, she was delighted.

Such a pure man! If she could capture him, she would laugh even while sleeping!

Once everyone was settled, Su Jiyai started the engine and the car began to move smoothly along the road, after getting to know their destination and putting on the navigator.

The group remained mostly silent, each person lost in their own thoughts.

After a while, Mu Qin couldn’t resist any longer. She leaned forward, trying to engage Su Jiyai in conversation again.

“Thank you so much for letting us ride with you. By the way, what is your good name, again?”

(Author: Due to the veil’s effect they can’t see Su Jiyai at all. Only a vague figure.)

Su Jiyai glanced at Mu Qin in the rearview mirror, her expression unreadable.

“Su Jiyai,” she answered curtly.

Even though Su Jiyai was naive, Mu Qin’s green tea skills were too eye-catching. She could sense Mu Qin’s thoughts just by looking at her face.

Mu Qin’s eyes sparkled with interest.

“Su Jiyai, such a nice name! Are you from the military, by any chance?”

Su Jiyai kept her eyes on the road.

“No, I’m not. Just someone trying to survive like everyone else.”

Her tone was cold, indicating she wasn’t interested in talking with Mu Qin. However, Mu Qin acted as if she didn’t understand her hint.

Fei Bao, sensing the tension, decided to steer the conversation away from Mu Qin’s probing questions.

“We really appreciate your help, Su Jiyai. It’s tough out there, and finding someone willing to lend a hand is rare.”

Su Jiyai nodded.

“It’s important to help each other. We need to stay united in times like these.”

“Sir, you are so kind! I wish I could have a big brother like you! Can I call you brother Su?”

Nan Wurong frowned,

“Qinqin, what happened to you? Why are you behaving so differently, today?”

Mu Qin wanted to punch him. She regretted making Nan Wurong her boyfriend.

If only she had held it till now, she could have caught a big fish today.

However she decided to use Nan Wurong’s words as an opportunity and sobbed,

“Even you can sense it?”

Nan Wurong was instantly concerned about her,

“Qinqin don’t scare me. Tell me what happened.”

“Today is my brother’s 10th death anniversary.” Mu Qin started her sob story.

“Brother? Qin’er when did you have a big brother? As far as I remember you didn’t have any brother.” Dong Junhua interrupted her
