Apocalypse: I Have A Multiplier System - Chapter 40

Chapter 40: Chapter 40: Luck

Good!

Now they are saved for sure!

But the reality was still cruel because the next second Fu Lin pulled away from Rui Wang and said,

“You take her away. Leave me and him here.”

Even if he leaves with Su Jiyai he won’t be able to make it to the car.

As for Rui Xiao…well he will transform into a zombie sooner or later.

“No! I won’t leave without you!” Rui Wang shook her head with tears in her eyes.

“Wang’er be good…” Fu Lin’s words were interrupted because the next second a bottle landed near him.

[Host you have to rescue that woman, her husband, and her father.]

“I know.” Su Jiyai thought that it was one of the system’s mission rules. However, even without the rule, she would have rescued the couple.

[Host, the husband is gravely injured, you should give him a healing potion. As for Father, he may look like he is about to become a zombie but his wound has just started to fester. Give him a healing potion too.]

“Where is the healing potion?” Su Jiyai asked subconsciously.

[Host you will have to buy it from me.]

Su Jiyai: “…” So you just want to take away my points, right?

After buying an E-Rank pan, her bank account almost had a heart attack.

God knows how much more shock it will be able to tolerate.

However, lives were at stake, she couldn’t be willful.

“Give 2 healing potions.” Su Jiyai said.

[Okay host. 2000 points deducted. Points remaining: 95200.]

“This is a healing potion, drink it.” Su Jiyai explained. She also threw one in Rui Xiao’s direction.

Looking at the blank expression on Rui Xiao’s face, Su Jiyai kindly explained,

“Your wounds have not yet infected, you will not turn into a zombie. Take the healing potion quickly otherwise, I can’t guarantee that you can be saved.”

Rui Xiao hurriedly bent down and drank the healing potion.

Fu Lin hesitated for a while but drank the potion.

Within 5 minutes the wounds on Fu Lin healed. Even Rui Xiao’s wound which had turned black slowly turned red.

“What? How is this possible?” Fu Lin was stunned.

He had never heard of the healing potion!

He thought that bad luck mummy was just scamming them.

Surprisingly these potions do work!

Rui Wang was the happiest.

Her father and her husband both of them were healed!

“Bad luck mummy-” Rui Wang stopped midway through her sentence.

God! She almost exposed herself!

“Huh?” Su Jiyai looked at Rui Wang in confusion.

“Nothing. Dear expert thank you!” Rui Wang changed her words.

Su Jiyai nodded and said,

“Let’s leave.”

Rui Wang, Rui Xiao, and Fu Lin followed behind.

Soon they reached the car. Some zombies were roaming around and Su Jiyai hurriedly dealt with them.

At the same time, she asked the system to collect the zombie crystals.

Once inside the car, Rui Wang, Rui Xiao, and Fu Lin were stunned.

The interior of the car was much more luxurious than the exterior of the car.

As compared to the scorching heat outside, the interior of the car was a haven of cool air and plush leather seats.

Rui Wang subconsciously fell back and closed her eyes.

Due to the constant pressure, she couldn’t relax. It was to the point, that she didn’t realize the toll that was taking place on her body.

Fu Lin was instantly worried.

“Wang’er? Wang’er? Open your eyes!”

Rui Wang by now had turned unconscious.

Rui Xiao checked the pulse and frowned,

“When was the last time she ate something?”

“Yesterday morning.” Fu Lin replied subconsciously. Once he did, he realized the problem.

[Host that woman is pregnant.]

“Huh?” Su Jiyai was stunned and instantly opened the car cabinet took out a small lunch with a water bottle and passed it to Fu Lin.

“Here.” Su Jiyai’s tone was filled with disapproval. “You are truly careless, she is pregnant and may forget to eat, but you as the husband should have reminded her!”

In the apocalypse with the decreasing number of humans, pregnant women are always treated as precious gems.

They carry the next generation of humans. One more newborn means one more 1% chance of humans surviving the apocalypse.

This was instilled in the minds of soldiers since the training.

Su Jiyai’s actions however stunned Fu Lin and Rui Xiao.

Fu Lin opened the small lunchbox, which contained a small bowl of steaming rice with vegetables and a portion of grilled chicken.

The aroma filled the car, making both men realize just how hungry they were as well. Fu Lin quickly took some food and tried to feed it to the unconscious Rui Wang.

What surprised them was how precious the meal box was!

The meal will cost them 60 zombie crystals!

However, Rui Wang’s health was more important. They can pay it off later.

“Rui Wang, wake up. You need to eat,” he urged gently.

Rui Wang still didn’t respond. Fu Lin could only sprinkle some water on Rui Wang’s face and when she woke up, he began to feed her.

Seeing the grilled chicken, Rui Wang’s appetite was immediately piqued, and she took small, hesitant bites at first.

As the food began to restore her energy, she ate with more vigor.

[Ding! Host your luck has permanently risen by 1. You have gained 10 points.]

Su Jiyai was confused.

[Host, that woman’s superpower is amazing. She has awakened luck. As long as you are good to her your luck will improve.]

Su Jiyai wasn’t overjoyed. Instead, her first concern was,

“Am I snatching her luck?”

[No, host. Her superpower is like this: She is lucky and can escape any dangerous situation. The people around her also benefit due to her luck. Just take her father as an example. Any normal person should have turned a zombie after the person’s wound festered, but her father was able to hold on till the host arrived and cured him. Also, her father has awakened thundersuperpower. He just hasn’t realized it yet.]

After hearing the explanation, Su Jiyai only had one word: Wow!

Once the lunch box was finished, Su Jiyai asked,

“Do you need more?”

“Can I?” Rui Wang asked hesitantly.

“I have 4 more boxes.” Su Jiyai said.

Rui Wang’s eyes brightened but suddenly dimmed as she asked,

“What is the price?”

She wasn’t a fool. The more she eats now… the more debt they will have later.

“Wang’er you don’t need to…” Fu Lin couldn’t finish his words because Rui Wang glared at him.

Before Su Jiyai could answer, Rui Wang added,

“Please tell me the total, from healing potions to the meal I had…and the transporting cost.”

Rui Wang already had a rough estimation.

The healing potions looked very expensive they should be worth at least 20 crystal cores. They took 2, so the total was 40 crystal cores.

Plus the meal she had should have cost 60 crystal cores.

So the total should be 100!

Rui Wang’s face paled.

If it was before, she could have paid that much easily. But now…

“The healing potions were worth 1250 points, you took 2, so the total should be 2500 points. Plus the small lunch box you had was worth 500 points. So the total is 3000 points.” Su Jiyai said subconsciously.

Rui Wang wasn’t aware of the concept of points and thought, that points were equivalent to crystals.

3000 crystals?

“So expensive?” Rui Wang blurted out.

But she shut her mouth when she remembered how Su Jiyai didn’t include transportation costs and the cost of saving them.

Fu Lin gritted his teeth and said,

“Mister we don’t have 3000 zombie crystals for now…”

“Huh?” Su Jiyai interrupted him, “When did I ask for 3000 zombie crystals? I said 3000 points. The exchange ratio between points and zombie crystal is 1:1000, meaning you only have to pay 3 crystals.”

“What? Just 3?” Rui Wang couldn’t believe her ears and asked with shock.

“Mister, are you joking?” Rui Xiao asked with disbelief. Just now he didn’t rush to make any conclusion because he knew points and crystal were different.

But he didn’t realize that their exchange ratio was so high!

“No. As for transportation and saving you, it was included in the services section, so you don’t need to pay.” Su Jiyai explained.

This time three of them were stunned for a long time.

Rui Wang suddenly realized that the flyer was of a residential area and asked,

“What is the price for renting a room for a month?”

“5 crystal cores.” Su Jiyai tried to be as clear as possible.

Silence.

For the next 3 minutes, the three people took their time to process the shocking news.

“Do you want the lunch box or not?” Su Jiyai asked kindly.

“Yes! Yes!” Rui Wang hurriedly said.

They have a total of 20 crystal cores with them.

Even if they pay for the 3 crystal cores and rent a room for 3 months, they will be left with 2 crystal cores, just enough to buy the 4 lunch boxes.
