Apocalypse: I Have A Multiplier System - Chapter 37

Chapter 37: Chapter 37: Scammer?

Mu Qin almost lost her temper.

She glared at Dong Junhua,

“If you were a better friend, then you might have noticed.”

Nan Wurong shifted his gaze to Dong Junhua,

“Don’t bully Qin’er.”

Su Jiyai: “…” Wow…what a blind man.

It wasn’t like Su Jiyai never saw such blind men in the army. There were many. The men in the army though stern, are very honest.

Because of their honesty, they fail to look through the green tea skills.

‘Thank god Feng’er wasn’t blind.’ Su Jiyai thought.

The thought of Qin Feng filled her with sadness.

Mu Qin continued with her story, trying to evoke sympathy.

“He was my only family. Losing him was the hardest thing I’ve ever faced. Now that I am meeting you, Brother Su…I get reminded of him.”

Sob…sob. Mu Qin sobbed.

“Qin’er don’t cry.” Nan Wurong felt his heart being sliced and he hugged her.

Normally Mu Qin would have buried her face and cried even more. But today her goal was different she pushed him and turned toward Su Jiyai,

“If Mr. Su if you don’t mind, can I call you Brother Su?”

Su Jiyai said lightly,

“No need.”

“Why?” Mu Qin’s tone was a bit aggrieved.

“Have you ever seen a lotus calling a woman, brother?”

“No.” Mu Qin subconsciously blurted out.

“Hm. Good.” Su Jiyai commented.

Mu Qin was baffled,

“What do you mean…”

However, before she could finish her words, Fei Bao chuckled. Even Dong Junhua felt like laughing.

Zi Jiao laughed loudly while Nan Wurong’s face turned a bit black.

“Hey! Why are you laughing?” Mu Qin glared at Zi Jiao.

“Hahaha! Oh my god! She…she is calling you a white lotus! Hahaha! And even if you want to make some relationship with her, you have to call her Sister Su, not Brother Su!”

Mu Qin’s eyes spit fire hearing Zi Jiao’s words.

She turned to look at the mysterious figure in the driver seat and her eyes were filled with malice.

Why?

Why could a woman…have such a luxurious car?

Before Mu Qin didn’t notice but once inside, Mu Qin understood the difference between heaven and earth.

The car had AC and the seats were very comfortable to sit on.

As compared to the scorching heat outside, the car was truly heaven!

Why should this woman have everything while she had to struggle?

Fei Bao noticed Mu Qin’s expression and decided to intervene again.

“Mu Qin, let’s just appreciate the ride and be grateful. We’ve been through a lot, and right now, we need to focus on surviving.”

Dong Junhua nodded in agreement.

“Fei Bao is right. We need to be thankful for the help we’re getting.”

Mu Qin bit her tongue, suppressing her anger. She forced a smile and nodded.

“You’re right. I’m sorry. Thank you, Su Jiyai, for helping us.”

Su Jiyai simply nodded, focusing on the road ahead.

The rest of the journey continued in relative silence, each person lost in their thoughts.

Once the destination arrived, all five of them alighted. Fei Bao as the leader paid 19 crystal cores to Su Jiyao bowed,

“Thank you so much for dropping us here.”

Su Jiyai took the crystal cores and finally revealed her true intentions,

“I have a favor to ask.”

If it was earlier, Fei Bao would have been suspicious but now that he reached his destination, he relaxed.

“Please go ahead.”

“Do you know where the people of Willow Land are?” Su Jiyai asked with some expectation.

Fei Bao’s eyes narrowed,

“Why are you asking?”

“My relative used to live there. For some reason, I couldn’t contact him till now. Just the previous day when I arrived at Willow Land, I found the area was completely destroyed.” Su Jiyai explained.

Zi Jiao frowned,

“Was there ever a willow land?”

“Jiao you don’t know, since you have come to Raven Base just 6 months ago. Willow land was one of the major bases but…” Dong Junhua paused halfway through her sentence and looked at Fei Bao.

Fei Bao took a deep breath, his expression somber.

“Willow Land was indeed a major base. However, about a year ago, it was attacked by a large horde of zombies. The defenses were overwhelmed, and the survivors were forced to flee.”

Su Jiyai’s face paled.

“Do you know where they went?”

Fei Bao shook his head.

“I’m not sure. Many scattered in different directions. Some might have joined other bases, but the exact whereabouts of the survivors are unknown.”

Su Jiyai’s shoulders slumped.

“I see. Thank you for the information.”

Though she had a vague guess in her mind, Su Jiyai was disappointed when she was proven correct.

However…

A glint flashed in Su Jiyai’s eyes.

Something was fishy about this matter.

[Host you should promote your residential area.]

Su Jiyai snapped out of her daze took out 5 flyers and passed them to Fei Bao.

“This is my residential area, the rent for a single room is 5000 federal coin. The electricity will be 24/7 and the water will be free to use.

The residential area is protected by an electric fence so you don’t need to worry about zombies attacking the base suddenly.”

“Huh?” Fei Bao was stunned.

Zi Jiao instantly snatched one of the flyers from Fei Bao and stared at the flyer with greed.

“This…is this true?” He asked with disbelief.

The flyer looked very beautiful.

It had an image of the room, along with the benefits and the price of renting a single room for a month.

“It is.” Su Jiyai confirmed.

Mu Qin looked at the flyer and suddenly chuckled,

“Now I know why you were being so kind to us. You want to scam us into renting your place. Is that it? Can such a good place even exist?”

Su Jiyai’s expression didn’t change.

“Believe what you want. My offer stands. It’s up to you whether you take it or not.”

Time will tell, who was wrong and who was right.

Mu Qin snorted and before anyone could make any move she tore the flyer in her hand,

“I know one thing for sure. If such a place existed, I, Mu Qin would have been informed already. Since I don’t know this place there are only two possibilities.

First, this place exists but it doesn’t belong to this woman, she just wants to scam us, second she is faking everything! Final conclusion, she is trying to scam us!”

Su Jiyai chuckled,

“Think whatever you like.”

Before anyone could react, Su Jiyai left. Mu Qin’s hostility was so clear, that even if she was blind she would have sensed it.

“See! See she is scared! I think we should report her!” Mu Qin shouted.

“Qin’er what has happened to you?” Nan Wurong was surprised by Mu Qin’s sudden outburst.

In his memories Mu Qin was like a gentle lily, however, today she was more like a poppy.

Even if Su Jiyai was a scammer, why was she so angry? At most, they can ignore her. Why was she shouting?

Mu Qin gritted her teeth.

She knew…she was jealous.

Jealous because Su Jiyai could have such a carefree life by scamming, she(Mu Qin) on the other hand is stuck with a sh*t like Nan Wurong just because of her(Mu Qin) honesty.

So infuriating!

Mu Qin wanted to scratch Nan Wurong’s face.

With a huff, she left.

Zi Jiao hesitated and followed behind her.

Though he was greedy, he understood that such a good thing doesn’t exist in today’s era.

Nan Wurong too left behind Mu Qin.

Dong Junhua asked with hesitation,

“What do you think?”

Fei Bao shifted his gaze to Mu Qin,

“This is not photoshopped. Not to mention…the material of the flyer is very different.”

As a person who had served in the army, Fei Bao knew the basic difference between Photoshop and real images.

“Give me one.” Dong Junhua took one and felt that the flyer was indeed unique.

“Not only that, look at the flyer which was torn by Mu Qin.”

“This…how is this possible?” Dong Junhua’s eyes widened. “Wasn’t it torn?”

The flyer had somehow returned to its original state.

“Also they might not have noticed but the material used in the car was unique too. The air conditioner too was different.

From the interaction with Miss Su, I understood one thing, she wasn’t interested in conversing with us. As if nothing on us can attract her.

As for the point as to why she asked for crystal cores, I highly doubt that I would have allowed the team to sit if she hadn’t asked for any.

Maybe she has already considered it and hence asked for crystal cores. She is genuine. As for this place…we can only know after trying.”

Dong Junhua believed Fei Bao hence she nodded,

“Okay.”

…..

After an entire day of spreading flyers, Su Jiyai returned to her territory. She did some exercise and took a shower.
