Zheng Yifan laughed heartily and beckoned the Fellow to come in. Although he was only a few years older, their statuses were different. Zheng Yifan sat comfortably while the boy trembled in fear.
"Ten Thousand Steps! You arrange for him to calculate the quantity of Essence Fruits and distinguish their quality, exchanging them for food according to their grades. The prices remain unchanged!" Zheng Yifan pointed at the boy.
"Chief! Do I really need to do this? Let me find a couple of lackeys to run errands for you. You shouldn't have to carry your own luggage around! Chief, you're holding that girl; it looks exhausting for us too. I'll get two strong fellows to carry her, and she'll be much more comfortable!" Ten Thousand Steps exclaimed excitedly as he dashed out of the room.
He couldn't wait; if he delayed, there would be no good things left for him.
The stove was already set up in the room, with four Legs of Lamb roasting on it.
These legs were all carefully selected hind legs, robust and powerful, wrapped in a thin layer of fat that made them look incredibly appetizing.
Though they all knew these were frozen products, and if there was an expiration date, it had long passed.
But it didn't matter; Superpowered Individuals had strong bodies. Even if they ate poison, they might not die. Moreover, it was roasted Leg of Lamb; even if they ended up with an upset stomach, it would still be worth it!
If Zheng Yifan knew what they were thinking, he would definitely slap them. These were 100 marinated Legs of Lamb he had specially ordered from the best roasting shop in Shengjing, meant to celebrate their successful defense at Hope Gathering Place.
Who would have thought they would end up in such a remote place, hundreds of miles away? He could only satisfy his cravings early.
With all sorts of seasonings at hand, Zheng Yifan felt like he had entered a proper Leg of Lamb restaurant. He slowly brushed on oil as sparks flew from the fire, filling the air with a mouthwatering aroma.
The first stomach to growl was definitely not Zheng Yifan's; they had eaten breakfast earlier. Although for Superpowered Individuals, that meal was merely a light snack.
The first one to feel hunger pangs was the young boy at the door. He stood on tiptoe, craning his neck to watch Zheng Yifan and the others eating behind the Counter. The Counter was the cash register from the Post-Apocalypse era, positioned centrally in the room.
Ten Thousand Steps had carelessly left the boy there while he ran off first.
"Fellow, if you have something good nearby, just sit tight for a moment. If I'm satisfied with your trade, I'll allow you to join us for a nice meal! After all, you're the first one here! Trust me—being with Zheng Yifan will always bring you benefits!" Zheng Yifan pointed at the roasting Legs of Lamb.
"Turn them over quickly! Don't just roast one side; they'll burn! They'll burn!" Liu Hao interrupted Zheng Yifan's conversation and hurriedly urged him to flip the meat.
The aroma of roasted Leg of Lamb was rich and oily, but there was one downside: it needed to be turned frequently. Otherwise, burning it would be a waste—especially in this Apocalyptic World where food was precious, let alone something as luxurious as Leg of Lamb.
Meanwhile, the young boy watched in awe with drool pooling at his mouth, only thinking about how he could snag a bite later since their chief was here! As long as he satisfied them with his goods, he hoped to enjoy a meal alongside them.
This was undoubtedly the best thing he had heard in the past two years. However, she hesitated again, and while others might not know, he was fully aware that the Essence Fruit in the woven bag was of the lowest quality. Many of those Essence Fruits had been stored for too long and were already wrinkled, some even showing signs of rot.
He feared that if even a third of all the Essence Fruits were purchased, it would be considered a success.
As for bringing all the Essence Fruits here, that was purely a gamble. Another reason was that there were simply too many Essence Fruits. The various types of fruits made them difficult to categorize.
If someone only bought a small amount and then left, he would be at a significant loss!
At that moment, outside, Ten Thousand Steps was striding along, observing the bustling crowd. Most had begun trading. They brought their entire fortunes here to exchange for Essence Fruits, hoping to become Superpowered Individuals.
In the center of the crowd, he could see two people collapsed on the ground, their faces flushed red—clearly they had consumed Essence Fruits. They cared little for their surroundings or the attitudes of those nearby; they consumed the Essence Fruits as soon as they got them. If successful, they would become Superpowered Individuals; if not, they would simply become corpses to be discarded in the sewers to feed Zombies.
Everyone had their fate; wealth and nobility were fleeting. Many were driven by desperation.
Yet, they only saw those two who seemed to have successfully evolved. The four or five corpses in the corner served as a stark reminder that success rates were not as high as they imagined. Those bodies had all been killed outright. As soon as any sign of turning into a Zombie appeared, their necks would be severed immediately and tossed aside. Once everyone had consumed their share, they would collectively dispose of the bodies in the sewer.
There was no compassion—only success and failure. The successful gained the right to live; the failures became food for Zombies.
“Hey! To all our esteemed Survivors rescued by our great leader, I have good news! Our leader urgently needs three lackeys—two men and one woman. The men must be strong and good-looking; the woman should be articulate, fair-skinned, and beautiful with excellent calculation skills!” Ten Thousand Steps counted off his requirements on his fingers.
These were all spur-of-the-moment ideas. As for fair skin and beauty, that was purely his personal preference; whether Zheng Yifan liked it was beyond his concern—as long as he liked it!
As a leader of a Gathering Place, would he lack women? That was simply impossible!
Silence!
Like the sound of wind sweeping across a vast prairie in winter, only the most basic quiet remained. Everyone stared at Ten Thousand Steps, dumbfounded.
They could hardly imagine that in this day and age someone would still recruit lackeys. Was this a joke? Such things were favored by wealthy young masters in a Post-Apocalypse world.
In this new world, only strength was reliable.
None of his earlier requirements mentioned strength; they were all about appearance and skills relevant to surviving in a Post-Apocalypse.
"Me! I can be a bitch! I am a Superpowered Individual! Strong in body. No disease, Post-Apocalypsefamous fashionModel!" "Choose me, choose me! Please keep me! Keep me! I can warm the bed and have a good figure Big breasts! Please take them away! These are reserved for the leader inside. You don’t want those dirty hands anymore, do you?” !" At first, most of them were just women, but soon some men came over and yelled at Ten Thousand Steps: "I can do it! I can fight and kill myself, Second Tier Superpower, you dare to go in and out of the mountain of corpses! You are right to choose me!" Zheng Yifan in the room was speechless to Ten Thousand Steps. Covering half of his face, he felt like he had almost lost all his life. But who is Ten Thousand Steps? They are the offspring of great scientists from Post-Apocalypse. With data analysis, it is easy to pick the most suitable one from these people. "You! You! And you! The three of you come here and take some test questions. If you pass, you can go in and become the happiest bitch in the world!" Ten Thousand Steps called the three people over. One of the three people was the young man whose brother died in front of the botanical garden before entering the botanical garden, and the other was a strong man. He is one of those Fellows whose intestines are connected to the bottom at a glance. The chosen woman can really be called fair-skinned and beautiful, with a slender figure like a femme fatale. Only those breasts were so visible, and coupled with the clothes he was wearing, Ten Thousand Steps was almost unable to resist at that moment. What satisfied him even more was this woman's academic qualifications, a female doctor. A fighter among women! In Post-Apocalypse, she is a proud daughter, but the end is coming. He could only survive by starting a second-hand business in this dilapidated botanical garden. But that figure and appearance were all made up and dressed like a beggar. She also put makeup on her face to cover her face. Acting like a lunatic. Only when Ten Thousand Steps was being tricked just now, this woman restored her true colors with a basin of water. He even took off almost all his outer clothes, leaving only the last line of defense, and put on sexy clothes in front of everyone. Along with this are his astonishing academic qualifications and excellent IQ. All in all, this woman has a great taste for Ten Thousand Steps, so naturally she was successfully brought into the house by Ten Thousand Steps. "Wow! Where did you find such an energetic girl? I've been here many times and I've never seen her before!" Liu Hao was the first to blow loudly before Ten Thousand Steps came in whistle.
The Rogue Whistle caused the woman's lips to curl slightly, revealing two dimples as she looked at Liu Hao as if he were prey.
"Brother Hunter! Don't tell me you don't recognize your old sister?" Her words were startling, leaving Liu Hao momentarily stunned, his right hand trembling as he pointed at her.
"You! You're Nono!" Liu Hao's astonishment was palpable, and he could barely articulate his thoughts as he pointed at her.
Stunning! All the words that could describe a seductive woman fit Nono perfectly.
But she was definitely not the same Nono from before, the one with a sallow complexion who always wore a sweet yet unattractive smile.
She had been so unattractive that even the Survivors in the game had turned a blind eye to her. In the botanical garden, it wasn't about adhering to the rules of mutual agreement; her ugliness made everyone reluctant to look at her even once.
And now, that very girl had made such a stunning entrance that left him utterly shocked.
"We can catch up later when we have time! Our client is getting impatient!" Zheng Yifan said with a smile, pointing at the young man waiting to purchase the expired Essence.
"It's time to test your abilities. I don't need a vase here; the apocalypse doesn't require decoration." (To be continued...)
