Apocalypse: Infinite Supplies System - Chapter 267

Chapter 267: Group purchases
More than just Wright, others were also paying attention to the trading platform.

The prices of cola and instant noodles were within everyone’s affordability.

They were a bit expensive, but not outrageously so.

However, they weren’t rushing to trade with Alex.

Mainly because they didn’t have enough experience points on hand.

Alex clearly stated the minimum purchase requirement.

They had to buy at least ten boxes of instant noodles and one hundred bottles of cola in one go.

Otherwise, they were advised to look elsewhere.

This restrictive condition made those with limited resources hesitate.

Four hundred and fifty experience points were not a small amount.

With that much experience, they could level up, strengthen themselves—wasn’t that appealing?

Soon, the trading information Alex posted spread rapidly and caught the attention of more people!

…

“Wow, it’s really instant noodles and cola!”

“Oh my, I haven’t had instant noodles in ages, let alone cola!”

“Me too, I really miss that taste!”

“Back in the day, it was instant noodles with cola in every bite. Now, sob…”

“Tsk tsk tsk, you’re not alone!”

“Instant noodles with cola, forever divine!”

“I really want to eat, but the price is a bit outrageous. Honestly, buying at least ten boxes of noodles and one hundred bottles of cola at once is really beyond my budget!”

At this point, someone suggested that those interested in buying instant noodles should pool their resources and buy together.

This way, the problem would naturally be solved!

This proposal received unanimous approval.

Soon, many survivors started pooling their resources to make collective purchases.

As a result, sales of instant noodles and cola were rapidly increasing…

“Very good, completed the first transaction!”

Upon receiving 900 experience points from Wright, Alex couldn’t help but feel a bit pleased.

It seemed that, as he had expected, instant noodles and cola indeed had strong appeal.

“How did it go?” Olivia asked, tilting her head.

“We’ve completed the first transaction and gained 900 experience points!” Alex replied with a smile.

“So much?” Both women were somewhat surprised.

Nine hundred experience points from just one transaction?

With a few more transactions, wouldn’t they easily reach tens of thousands?

“It’s hard to say for now. After all, not everyone is so generous,” Alex lightly shook his head.

However, he soon found himself contradicted.

This was because he suddenly received numerous private messages.

While most people asked if he could lower the minimum purchase quantity, Alex rejected all such requests.

However, there were still some who were quite bold and purchased large quantities of instant noodles and cola right away.

Soon, Alex earned 30,000 experience points.

…

Yet Alex soon noticed that many people were lamenting that they couldn’t buy instant noodles or cola.

“Could it be that I’ve set the bar too high?” Alex wondered to himself.

Upon reflection, the threshold indeed seemed rather high.

Most people were reluctant to spend so many experience points.

Moreover, for most people, instant noodles and cola were not essential goods.

Buying them was more of a desire to satisfy cravings.

“But if I don’t set limits, won’t I just become a convenience store, selling one box and one bottle at a time? If transactions become too frequent, when will I even get to rest?” Alex pondered.

After some thought, he came up with a solution.

“Group purchases!”

So, Alex tactfully suggested to everyone that they could buy together through group purchases.

Indeed, it was Alex who first proposed this idea!

In an instant, many people woke up to the idea.

As a result, numerous survivors joined in group purchases.

Even those who weren’t particularly interested in instant noodles and cola joined in.

Soon, sales skyrocketed.

The experience points in Alex’s account were rapidly increasing.

With every successful transaction, he could earn at least 450 experience points, which was quite substantial.

…

At this moment, discussions about instant noodles and cola were fervent.

“This scene feels oddly familiar. Once, in East 8 Zone, there was a legendary figure who first appeared selling a large quantity of supplies to everyone!”

“Brother, may I ask if that legendary figure was none other than Alex?”

“Hahaha, indeed it was! Unfortunately, since entering the Ocean Era, Alex seems to have disappeared without a trace. There’s been no news of him since.”

“Times change, people change. After the East 8 Zone opened up, there are too many outstanding and powerful survivors. Alex, though strong, is no longer the lone star he used to be. It’s normal that his fame isn’t as widespread.”

“Sigh, that’s true…”

…

“Hahaha, I’ve already eaten the instant noodles. What about you guys?”

“Hehe, I’ve had some too! The familiar taste, the familiar recipe! Whether it’s cola or instant noodles, it reminds me of the past.”

“Ah, time flies, things change. Instant noodles are still instant noodles, cola is still cola, but I’m no longer the youth I once was.”

“Haha, quite sentimental.”

“Oh no, the atmosphere is getting eerie!”

…

“Alex has been closely monitoring the latest developments.

Seeing the enthusiasm among the crowd, Alex decided to take another drastic step!

He announced a series of promotional measures.

Moreover, he specifically issued a promotional notice.

[Due to limited quantities of instant noodles and cola, for those interested in purchasing, please do not hesitate and make your purchase quickly, first come, first served!]

[Furthermore, there’s a limited-time offer. For the next 12 hours, instant noodles are 20% off!]

With this announcement, numerous survivors began placing orders like crazy.

The main reasons were clearly stated in the announcement:

Firstly, instant noodles and cola were not unlimited; supplies were limited, so it was first come, first served.

Secondly, there was a current discount on purchases!

Quickly, transaction volumes increased at an even faster rate.

Alex was grinning from ear to ear.

Mia and Olivia also noticed everything that was happening.

Of course, they knew that Alex probably had an endless supply of such goods.

Alex was clearly deceiving the others.

“Hehe, we’re all here to earn experience points. There’s nothing wrong with that!” Alex chuckled.

However, as a large number of transaction orders were completed, survivors gradually began to sense that something was amiss.

No matter how many people bought instant noodles and cola, Alex always seemed to have timely supply, as if the resources were endless.

“Damn, didn’t he say the supplies were limited? Why do I feel…”

“I thought his supplies would be sold out in a matter of minutes. I was even planning to stock up and make a big profit when he ran out. But now it looks like I might lose…”

“I wonder how much stock he has left. It can’t be much, right?”

Some speculated.

That was the general thought among most people.

They couldn’t fathom how someone could come across such a huge stash of instant noodles and cola.

But surely, the supply was limited.

He could probably sell around 100,000 experience points worth at most.

However, as time passed, things started to look more and more suspicious.

“This doesn’t add up. Why do I feel like we’ve been duped?”

“How is it possible to have this much instant noodles and cola?”

“This has to be fake!”

Many people found it unbelievable.

There couldn’t possibly be this much in a supply crate.

…

However, as their suspicions continued to grow,

Alex finally announced that all instant noodles and cola had been sold out.

And he had taken them off the trading platform.

“Wow, this guy had an incredible stockpile of instant noodles and cola. It took until now to clear out his inventory…”
