Meanwhile, twenty minutes earlier.
Isaac was half-reclined in front of his desk.
Two bikini-clad girls were massaging his legs.
Standing before the desk was a seductive woman wearing a dark red ring on her finger.
"You say... you're here to help us?"
Isaac asked lazily.
He didn't believe that a轮回者 (reincarnator) wearing a red ring would be so kind as to help him.
There might be a conspiracy he hadn't discovered yet.
"That's right, we've already experienced one apocalypse, and we have some foresight regarding the cyclical events that may occur in the future!"
"And we understand the apocalypse better than you do!"
"If the apocalypse were a game, then we are veteran players, and you are just a newbie.
"At best, you're a newbie who levels up quickly!"
The seductive woman wore a backless dress and a miniskirt, not hesitating to show off her figure.
However, unlike the two bikini beauties, she didn't pose suggestively but stood quietly.
Her gaze was firm yet gentle as she looked at Isaac.
"Even if what you say is true, why do you want to help us?"
"Most of us are lower level than you, and you can do anything we can do!"
"If you're here for Core Crystals... we have some聚能晶核 (Energy Gathering Core Crystals), but after advancing to a high-level蜕变者 (mutant),聚能晶核 don't help much with leveling up."
"As for items... you've gone through a full cycle, so you must have more and more advanced items than we do."
"So I can't figure out what benefit you'll get from helping us?!"
"You should know, I'm a businessman, and I don't believe in free lunches!"
Isaac reached out and squeezed one of the bikini beauties beside him, a look of satisfaction on his face.
"My name is Kaimila, and our organization is called the Prophets."
"The purpose of our organization is to help promising survivor teams grow rapidly, so they can better face the dangers of the apocalypse!"
"At the very least, it will help them survive this cycle, and even equip them with the capital to survive independently in the apocalypse!"
Kaimila said with a smile.
Without waiting for Isaac to ask further questions, she continued:
"I know what you're going to ask, don't rush!"
"In fact, the final stage of the apocalypse is far more terrifying than you can imagine!"
"When it arrives, it will take away all of humanity's hope, confidence, and honor, leaving only endless suffering and hardship..."
"Any strong person in the ultimate apocalypse is nothing more than a tiny ant with little ability."
"Only by banding together can we have a glimmer of hope for survival!"
"The more strong individuals there are, the stronger our survival capability will be. What seems like me helping you is actually me helping myself!"
"These cycles will help us grow repeatedly and become stronger, eventually achieving the grand goals of our Prophet organization!"
"Mmm... hmm..." Isaac was clearly not interested in Kaimila's grand promises.
When it came to making promises, Isaac was a master!
As a businessman, he cared about profit.
As for the future... heh... who knew!
"Boss..."
Amelia, a woman with a slender figure, walked in.
She was one of the special forces members recruited by Isaac, skilled in disguise, and her strength had advanced to the first stage of a high-level mutant.
She was also Isaac's female secretary (introduced in Chapter 235).
"How is it? Was that item sold?"
Seeing Amelia enter, Isaac quickly sat up straight.
It wasn't that he was interested in Amelia, but in the money-making project she was currently handling.
"No..."
Amelia shook her head and said.
"No? How is that possible?"
"We've repeatedly stirred the market with rotten apples, so people should have accepted this price by now!"
"Rotten apples are worth 5000 [Energy Gathering Core Crystals], so selling fresh fruit for 8000 [Energy Gathering Core Crystals] isn't too expensive!"
Isaac frowned and asked.
It turned out that the rotten apples that appeared at the World Rare Item Auction House earlier were placed there by Isaac.
This was done for two reasons: first, to test if other survivors had surplus fruit.
If they did, someone would surely follow suit and sell them off. wap.kanshu伍.net
In fact, there were some, but not many.
In the past few days, Isaac had bought both apples and a peach that appeared at the Rare Item Auction House.
Now he was almost certain that he had a monopoly in the fruit market. kanδん
Second, he was also setting a price for the market.
If people were willing to buy rotten apples for 5000, then fresh fruit would naturally be more expensive.
Isaac had obtained 5 apples from addicts, one of which had rotted, leaving 4 intact.
Because his supplies were abundant, with plenty of frozen meat, canned fruit, dried fruit, etc., his team rarely suffered from scurvy.
As for the addicts and other customers, whether they got scurvy or died, it had nothing to do with Isaac.
Therefore, he planned to sell these 4 apples at a high price and make a fortune.
If all went smoothly, over 30,000 Energy Gathering Core Crystals would be enough to create another strong individual.
"Our product had tens of millions of views within an hour of being listed, and many people inquired and bargained."
"But just now, someone suddenly listed a [Crisp Fruit] with richer nutritional value than our apples."
"And the price is only 6000 [Energy Gathering Core Crystals]. I was wondering if we should buy it to prevent more buyers from seeing it, otherwise, our apples will really be unsellable!"
Amelia asked worriedly.
"Of course, just buy it directly. Only by maintaining our monopoly can we have the power to set our own prices!"
Isaac said confidently.
"Okay!"
Amelia's eyes glazed over for a moment, and then she quickly lowered her head and said:
"It's done, it's been bought!"
Only then did Isaac breathe a sigh of relief and say with a smile:
"I wonder who got lucky enough to find such a fruit!"
"6000 Core Crystals is enough for him to significantly improve his abilities!"
Suddenly, Amelia's eyes glazed over again, and then she said in a solemn tone:
"Boss, another [Crisp Fruit] has appeared on the auction house..."
"Appeared again?" Isaac was startled.
After a moment of thought, he said confidently:
"Buy it, buy it all. Use all our Core Crystals. We'll buy as much as they sell!"
"Buy all the Crisp Fruit they have, then we'll sell it at a 50% markup, and we'll make another big profit!"
"Haha, fate has decreed that I will get rich today!"
Amelia's eyes glazed over for a while longer, and when she recovered, she said with a distressed expression:
"Boss, that person listed 5 more, and I've bought them all, but now... he's listed 100 [Crisp Fruit]..."
"How many? One hundred?" Isaac almost fell out of his chair upon hearing this.
This guy, how much Crisp Fruit did he have? Was he a wholesale fruit dealer...
