Ding! You lost [Energy Crystal Core] * 50000, [Steel] * 5 tons!
Congratulations on obtaining [Automatic Sentry Turret] * 100, which has been stored in your storage space!
Zhang Chen traded the [Automatic Sentry Turret] to Isaac, who immediately offered 9500 crystal cores.
Both parties clicked to confirm.
Transaction complete!
Isaac looked at the 100 [Automatic Sentry Turrets] in his storage ring and was overjoyed.
He went outside and found an alleyway swarming with zombies.
He installed two Automatic Sentry Turrets at the entrance of the alley.
Then, he had Bazel, disguised as a naked survivor, run into the alley with a horde of zombies in pursuit.
Finally, over a hundred zombies on a single street were easily eliminated by the [Automatic Sentry Turrets]!
Isaac sent this video to his marketing and sales personnel in various cities.
He had them play it continuously in the regional channels.
After all, advertising in the apocalypse costs nothing, so why not spam the channels!
Soon, orders started coming in!
One was from a survivor camp trapped in a zombie horde.
They were the unluckiest, as they were surrounded by the zombie horde while sleeping at night.
In the dark, they couldn't see the road clearly and found it difficult to evade surprise zombie attacks, making retreat impossible.
By the time dawn broke, they were completely trapped.
They had been trapped for two days, although they had sufficient food.
However, there were too many zombies, and they couldn't break through. This meant they wouldn't be able to upgrade and get stronger in the coming days.
Moreover, who knew if these zombies would become even more terrifying after the thirtieth day!
So, the camp spent a fortune, 1500 crystal cores, to buy 10 [Automatic Sentry Turrets]!
The ten units were easily sold.
This made Isaac a bit overconfident.
He directly raised the price to 180 crystal cores per unit!
Fifteen more units were quickly sold.
The price was raised again to 200 crystal cores per unit...
Orders continued to pour in.
Isaac's network covered over a dozen nearby cities, giving him a very wide sales reach.
Before Isaac could raise the price further, all 100 [Automatic Sentry Turrets] were sold out.
His subordinates kept urging Isaac to ship the goods.
In some regions, the price of sentry turrets had been bid up to 280 crystal cores per unit.
However, it was a situation of supply exceeding demand.
Mr. Zhang... are you there?
Isaac's fawning tone could be felt through the screen.
Speak!
Zhang Chen replied simply.
Well... may I be so bold as to ask, for 100 units, you gave a 5% discount... how many units would get a larger discount?
Isaac asked cautiously.
300 units or more at once, and you get a 10% discount. That's the highest discount!
Zhang Chen replied.
Seeing Isaac's question, Zhang Chen knew that those hundred units had already been sold, and the market was in a state of insufficient supply.
300 units... at a 10% discount, that's 90 crystal cores per unit, totaling 27000 crystal cores...
Isaac calculated to himself.
He had just sold 100 units and now had 17500 crystal cores.
He still needed to find a way to get another ten thousand crystal cores!
He immediately targeted buyers who were eager to purchase the goods. By offering a 10 crystal core discount for upfront payment, and relying on Isaac's excellent business reputation, he managed to collect all the payment in advance.
I'll buy... 400 units this time!
Isaac directly produced 36000 crystal cores and clicked to trade.
Zhang Chen then made another 400 [Automatic Sentry Turrets] and traded them to Isaac.
Transaction successful!
Zhang Chen had spent a total of 250,000 crystal cores making turrets, and had earned 45,000 crystal cores from the transactions.
Out of over 200,000 crystal cores, only tens of thousands remained.
However, the speed at which the crystal core count in the lower right corner was increasing began to pick up rapidly.
At first, it only changed in single and double digits.
Soon it became hundreds, and occasionally thousands.
Hundreds of crystal cores were being earned almost every second.
And this was even before the 400 [Automatic Sentry Turrets] he had just sold had started working!
These 400 units should keep Isaac busy for a while.
Zhang Chen conjured a villa from the mountaintop in the park.
He then sat on the second-floor balcony and looked down.
The entire farm park and the surrounding streets came into full view.
Hundreds of people were working with clear divisions of labor.
Some were specifically responsible for fertilizer synthesis, planting, fertilization, and harvesting were all handled by different people.
The planting times for each plot were staggered by an hour.
Just as one area finished planting, the adjacent land was harvested, allowing for planting in the next plot.
This rotating cultivation significantly improved efficiency.
In a trance, Zhang Chen felt as if he had returned to the ancient farming era.
He was able to enjoy a rare quiet afternoon.
Zhang Chen fried several large chicken cutlets, french fries, and fried calamari, topped with cheese slices and ketchup.
Hiss...
It tasted really good!
At this time, high-calorie food was the most filling, and there was absolutely no need to worry about gaining weight; you could eat as much as you wanted.
Because if you ate too little, you might be hungry again soon.
After eating, Zhang Chen took out an ice cream bar and ate it with relish.
This was life in the apocalypse... simple and leisurely...
Zhang Chen subconsciously checked the total number of energy crystal cores.
When he was at the wall, the total was still over fifty thousand.
Now, in less than an hour, the total had increased to over two hundred and seventy thousand.
He had broken even and even made a small profit.
From now on, all subsequent income would be pure profit!
Zhang Chen was in high spirits and took stock of the skills and items he had obtained from recently defeating S13 and others.
[Rare Skill: Anti-gravity Flight], [Rare Skill: Fatal Charm], [Rare Skill: Equipment Enhancement]...
Upon seeing the third skill, Zhang Chen's eyes lit up!
[Rare Skill: Equipment Enhancement]: By decomposing energy weapons and rare weapons, there is a certain probability of extracting the weapon's special attributes and fusing them into new equipment.
Zhang Chen also had a skill called [Rare Skill: Blueprint Optimization]. Unfortunately, this optimization could only upgrade weapons and equipment to the rare tier. In the first 30 days of the apocalypse, rare was the strongest tier, excluding unique items.
However...
Zhang Chen felt that his Thousand Bone Saber could still be strengthened further.
Actually, both the Thousand Bone Saber and the Seven-Colored Precious Saber were rare weapons, but the latter was too gaudy.
Zhang Chen felt that carrying such a weapon was not imposing enough and ruined the originally somber and tense atmosphere.
So, he decided to decompose the Seven-Colored Precious Saber and enhance the Thousand Bone Saber!
The moment Zhang Chen focused his attention on [Rare: Seven-Colored Precious Saber].
A prompt reappeared in a timely manner:
[Please note, decomposing the Seven-Colored Precious Saber only has a 25% chance of obtaining skills, and a 3% chance of obtaining all the above skills!]
[If you think you are an Emperor of Luck, you can decompose it now!]
