Apocalypse: System of lotteries

"I dare not have such a luxury, the land price in zone 1001 is very high now."

Sam dug out a piece of water elemental stone and threw it into the suspended storage box, saying, "A big reason is what happened after zone 109 moved in."

"Hmm~"

Ming also dug out a piece of water elemental stone and threw it into the storage box, while pondering a question.

Would the act of inflating the land price be something that David did? After all, he quit the rankings overnight and said he wouldn\'t compete anymore. It must be because he found a better business opportunity.

But the end of the world hasn\'t ended yet, what if there\'s a market crash? Who will bail him out?

"I heard that the guy is called David."

"Uh, that\'s right."

"Do you know him?"

"We used to be very familiar, in the future...maybe we need to get to know each other again."

"…"

[Your little frogs are sitting on top of Little White\'s head. Foodie is very much looking forward to the fight with the crocodile. It has already thought about how to cheer for Little White. Plus, when Little White finally wins, they can share some treasures. Foodie thinks it has also become a good businessperson~]

[Da Vinci always feels that the treasure Little White is talking about is slightly different from what it thinks. It taps Little White\'s head and asks what the treasure looks like... Little White says the treasure is unique in this area and very precious, Da Vinci is somewhat reassured~]

"…"

Ming is now also very curious about what that treasure is.

He continued to talk with Sam, because he found this guy very suitable for sales, and asked, "What did you do before the apocalypse?"

"Car sales."

"Pretty good~"

"But, it\'s not of much use now, by the way, I see you are a person of taste, I have a batch of luxury perfumes here, I think they are very suitable for your status, I\'ll give you one as a friend."

"~~"

Ming slightly smiled, so you\'re starting to use your tricks on me, huh? Then he said, "Boss and employees, can never become friends."

"…"

[Your Foodie is curious about how Little White spends its time on this lonely prairie. It wonders if Little White gets bored... Little White tells Foodie that it had a fight with a lion the day before yesterday and the outcome was undecided, then it had a fight with a leopard yesterday and neither won. So, today it\'s here to vent its anger on a crocodile~]

[Foodie thinks that Little White has a good personality, very much like itself. It asks Little White, are there only the four of you left in this area... Little White tells Foodie, there is another herbivorous creature that is not easy to provoke. All four of us have been beaten by it~]

"That strong?"

Ming was slightly excited in his heart. A herbivore that had beaten a lion, a crocodile, a leopard, and a honey badger in turn. 

[Da Vinci blinked and tapped Little White, asking when they would reach the place with the treasure... Little White carried the little frogs out of the grassland and stopped in front of a muddy water hole, telling them, here it is~]

[Da Vinci and Foodie looked at each other and simultaneously tapped Little White\'s head, you mean, the treasure is in this stinking mud pond with a crocodile?... Little White told the little frogs, the muddy water pond is the treasure it was talking about because we all need to drink water~]

[Your Foodie wants to disband the crocodile hunting team and form a badger extermination squad instead. It feels like its feelings have been deceived~]

[Da Vinci was curious as to why the crocodile was covered in wounds... Little White blinked, that\'s the result of monopolizing the treasure~]

"…"

Ming felt that what Little White said was correct. In a rather dry place, a mud pond is indeed a treasure in the hearts of animals.

Everyone needs to drink water, no wonder the crocodile is covered in wounds.

Today, Little White came to drink water and beat it up, tomorrow the lion will come and hit it, the day after the leopard will come and bother it again.

That it didn\'t die shows that this crocodile has a bit of great luck.

He turned his head to look at Sam, "Do you ever feel that you are a very lucky person?"

Sam frowned, looking at the strange gaze of the person beside him, tentatively saying, "You… Do you mean, uh~ yes, meeting you here is my great honor, I think I am very lucky."

"Good~"

Ming nodded.

He was struggling with one thing, that is, whether or not to let Sam develop a little industry for him in zone 1001, after all, he can\'t go to other zones before the end of the third chapter.

[Your Foodie is very curious, this crocodile has been beaten up by the four of you, how is it still alive, does it have so strong ... The honey badger told Foodie, it has thick skin and is very resilient~]

[Foodie bumped Da Vinci, I heard that crocodile meat is delicious...]

"Heh~"

Ming analyzed the chat information between the little frogs and the honey badger, and thus found out that there were only four creatures left in this area:

The lion king, which had been tamed by Merlin; the leopard which he had not encountered yet; the honey badger, which was likely to become a member of his household judging by the current situation; and finally, the boss of this area, the mysterious herbivorous creature.

Oh right, there\'s also a crocodile that always gets badly beaten.

He was curious about how this crocodile had survived. Did it have some special talent?

He then asked Sam, "Do you have requirements for the life or death of the mutant creatures you want?"

"Uh~ this..."

Sam dug out a stone and put it into the storage box, saying, "Living ones are harder to control, but they are relatively more expensive, while dead ones are cheaper."

"I see~"

Ming nodded, "What about the cooked ones?"

"…"

Sam looked at the person beside him. The boss, the topic changes quite quickly.

[Your Da Vinci tapped Foodie, don\'t always think about eating. Ming has a car now, Merlin has a lion mount, and we\'re still hopping around on foot, don\'t we need to be a little more ambitious~]

[Foodie looked at Da Vinci, then turned its head to look at the thick-skinned crocodile, and then at Little White beside it, seriously inquiring, what is the speed of this crocodile? How much does it eat?... Little White rolled its round eyes and told Foodie that the reason it is still alive is that it runs really fast~]

"Are we not eating the crocodile anymore?"

Ming put away the Family Cooking Guide and continued to mine elemental stones. He found that there were no recipes for crocodiles in this cookbook.

It seemed that it was time to get a new book.

He continued chatting with Sam, "Do you pay protection money by the year or by the month?"

"By the day~"

"By the day?"

Ming suddenly felt that it was very easy to make money in their zone 1001.

[Your Da Vinci and Foodie are preparing to go to the muddy pond and have a good chat with the crocodile, discussing it becoming Ming\'s froglets\' exclusive ride. They just hopped off Little White\'s back when they saw a huge creature appear... They saw the huge creature use its thick, longhorn to pick up the crocodile and throw it into the air, then viciously trample on it after it landed...]

[Your Foodie is a bit upset, the car is gone~]

[Da Vinci comforted Foodie, pointing at the huge creature, we can get a new car~]
