Apocalypse: I Have A Multiplier System - Chapter 59

Chapter 59: Chapter 59: Fuel

This was the story Su Jiyai had come up at the last moment.

Anyway, the story wasn’t entirely false. The medicine would indeed be used for humanitarian purposes. Just…not for the humans in this world.

The pharmacist hesitated for a moment, eyeing her carefully. After a few seconds of deliberation, he asked,

“What is the name of your organization? Can you show me the working pass?”

Su Jiyai was stunned by the pharmacist’s alertness and almost wanted to walk away.

However, she held back the urge, and quickly thought of an idea.

“System can you generate a fake social worker ID that matches the id of this world’s social worker?”

[Yes host. However, it would cost 20,000 points.]

20,000 points?

She doesn’t have any points left! What was even worse…she had a debt of 1 million points!

However…she truly has no choice.

“Give me a loan of 20,000 points.”

Maybe Su Jiyai’s smart shopping spree made System confident because he agreed right away.

[Sure, host. 20,000 points deducted. Remaining points: 0. Debt: 1.02 million points.]

Su Jiyai: “…” Yeah! Go ahead! Stab knife in my heart!

[Host the ID has been placed in your bag.]

The entire conversation happened in just 2 minutes. From the pharmacist’s perspective, Su Jiyai looked as if she was stunned.

However suddenly she blinked and said,

“My organization operates under strict confidentiality due to the sensitive nature of our work,” she explained smoothly.

“However, I can provide you with a temporary identification pass that should suffice for this transaction.”

She reached into her bag, pulling out a sleek, official-looking badge that the system had generated earlier.

The badge had a minimalistic design, bearing only her name, a serial number, and the logo of a fictional but professional-sounding NGO: “Global Aid Network.”

The pharmacist scrutinized the badge, his eyes narrowing slightly as he examined the details.

Su Jiyai could see the gears turning in his head.

After a tense moment, he handed the badge back to her.

“Alright,” he said, still cautious but no longer as suspicious.

“I’ll allow the purchase, but please be aware that without proper prescriptions, this transaction is unofficial. You won’t be able to return any of these items.”

“Understood,” Su Jiyai replied with a small nod. “Thank you for your cooperation.”

Why would she return them?

These medicines are the hope of her world!

Even though Su Jiyai wanted only one piece of each medicine to multiply it, she couldn’t say such a thing to the pharmacist.

The pharmacist began gathering the requested items, carefully placing them in bags.

When the pharmacist finished, he totaled up the cost.

“That’ll be 345,690 yuan,” he said.

Su Jiyai handed over the money, with her heart sinking as she saw her remaining funds dwindle to just 4,310 yuan. She had spent almost everything she had, but she was satisfied.

With the transaction completed, the pharmacist handed her the bags filled with medical supplies.

“Thank you for your understanding,” Su Jiyai said, offering a professional smile.

The pharmacist nodded, still somewhat suspicious but no longer inclined to press the issue. “Take care out there.”

She left the pharmacy and returned to her RV, carefully placing the bags in the limited space she had left.

With everything she needed now in her possession, she finally allowed herself to feel the exhaustion that had been creeping up on her all day.

As she sat in the driver’s seat, she leaned back and closed her eyes for a moment, letting out a deep sigh.

“System?”

[Yes host.]

“Did I do enough?” Su Jiyai asked with some dissatisfaction in her heart.

It may seem that she has bought a lot of things but Su Jiyai knew, it wasn’t enough…

Many things were still not bought and the time was already up.

Medical Equipment.

Chemicals to make the antidotes.

Many other staple foods.

Weapons.

The sense of incompleteness gnawed at Su Jiyai. She had managed to gather a significant amount of supplies, but she was acutely aware that her mission was far from complete.

“System,” she began, her voice firm despite the exhaustion. “Is there any way to extend my time here? I need more supplies, and I’m not ready to leave yet.”

[Host, the time limit is fixed. Extending it would require an enormous amount of points, which you currently do not have. However, I can suggest focusing on prioritizing your remaining tasks. You have 4,310 yuan left.]

“How much time is left?” Su Jiyai asked.

[1 hours more.]

“Locate a cheap restaurant with the best taste and hygiene.”

As long as she gets a lot of food, she could multiply them.

[Host you can’t multiply hot food or food made by humans.]

Su Jiyai: “…” Okay…I guess there was no use in finding a loophole!

“System what can I buy for 4000 yuan?”

[Host, there are several things that you can buy for 4000 yuan such as…]

Before the system could suggest anything, Su Jiyai suddenly asked,

“Can I multiply fuel?”

The system was silent for a while before answering.

[Yes, host.]

“What is the price?”

[8.95 per liter.]

“Where is the nearest gas station?”

Fuel was important for driving the car. Though her world doesn’t lack fuel, but it was way more expensive than the fuel in this world!

In her world, the price of petrol per liter was 1 zombie crystal!

[The nearest gas station is 2.3 kilometers away, host. You can purchase as much fuel as your remaining funds allow.]

Su Jiyai quickly calculated in her mind. With 4,310 yuan left and the price of fuel at 8.95 yuan per liter, she could buy roughly 481 liters of fuel.

Of course, she would buy different types of fuel.

“Alright, let’s do it,” Su Jiyai decided, starting the RV and heading toward the gas station.

When she arrived at the gas station, she first bought three 20-liter bottles and asked the system,

“Can you adjust these?”

[Yes host. However only 3 of such can be adjusted.]

Su Jiyai sighed. She could carry one bottle too, but god knows what will happen when she enters the portal.

So what about her remaining funds?

“System,” she said after a moment of thought, “let’s fill up these three bottles with diesel, gasoline, and kerosene. We’ll need all types of fuel where we’re going. I’ll fill the RV’s tank as much as I can. As for the rest of the funds, let’s donate it.”

[Sure host.]

Su Jiyai asked the staff to fill the fuel in the bottles, paid the money, and went into an isolated corner.

“System put away the RV and the fuel inside.”

[Okay host.]

Whoosh.

The RV and the fuel soon teleported into the system’s space.

“System, where would this donation have the most impact?” she asked, trying to think of a place that could benefit from even a small sum.

[There is a local orphanage nearby that could use the funds, host.]

“How much time is remaining?”

[20 minutes host.]

Su Jiyai started running towards the orphanage. Within 10 minutes she reached the entrance of the orphanage.

Without a word, Su Jiyai placed the remaining money in the mailbox and started to find an isolated corner.

Su Jiyai found a secluded spot behind the orphanage, hidden from view by tall bushes and a few trees.

The clock was ticking, and she knew she had only a few minutes left before the portal would open.

She quickly checked her surroundings, ensuring no one was watching.

“I want to go back.”

A huge galaxy-coloured portal opened right before her.

Su Jiyai took one last look at the world around her.

The vibrant colors of the trees, the sound of children playing in the distance, and the relatively peaceful atmosphere—it was all so different from the chaos and desolation of her own world.

Taking a deep breath Su Jiyai vowed in her heart.

Someday…someday her world would be as peaceful as this world!

Su Jiyai entered the portal.

Whoosh.

When Su Jiyai opened her eyes, she found herself in a completely different world.

The land below her was completely red, and the temperature of the surroundings was very high.

“System? What is happening?” Su Jiyai was sweating so much that she wanted to throw away her clothes.

Wasn’t she supposed to be back to her zombie world?

So where she was?

Wait…

Did her world’s temperature… rise? Did her world change in just 2 days she was away?

No! The most important question was why was the land so red.

[Host, you are not in your world. This is a penalty.]

“Penalty? What penalty?” Su Jiyai was surprised.

[Host this is a penalty world—a trial realm where you’ll face severe challenges due to your significant debt. The system has decided to enforce this penalty as you’ve surpassed the debt threshold of 1 million points.]

Su Jiyai’s eyes widened in disbelief. “A penalty world? Why wasn’t I warned about this before?”
