Chapter 59 Selling Zombie Serum, Ready to Harvest!

As the words fell, the women in the Dormitory all looked over in unison.

Yao Qingya's brow remained slightly furrowed, her worry not yet dissipated.

Liu Qiaofei's face was full of curiosity and admiration.

Su Meier was the most direct; she pressed herself closer to Su Ze, exhaling like an orchid: "What bad idea does the Landlord have now?"

Only Jiang Yuwan stood to the side with her arms crossed, her cold face carrying a look of scrutiny.

She wanted to see how this man would stir up the winds and clouds again to wring profit from everyone's pockets.

Su Ze did not answer immediately.

He took his time opening his virtual panel and clicked on the [trade channel].

[trade channel · 5 People]

After confirming that the number hadn't changed, he unhurriedly entered the [Survival Mall] and switched to the [Limited Time & Quantity] section.

A reagent icon glowing with a faint blue light sat quietly in the first position of the item list.

【zombie serum】

【Quality: Excellent】

【Price: 100 copper coins】

【Stock: 500/500】

【Effect: Grants permanent immunity to the zombie virus after injection.】

【Description: A miraculous life-saving potion in the apocalypse. With it, you will no longer fear the claws and teeth of zombies.】

Without the slightest hesitation, Su Ze clicked purchase.

[Ding! Purchase successful. Spent 100 copper coins, obtained 'zombie serum' *1.]

He took the reagent out of his backpack and waved it in front of the women.

The faint blue liquid rippled in the small test tube, emitting a mysterious and reassuring luster.

"This is..." Jiang Yuwan's pupils shrank slightly.

"zombie serum?" Yao Qingya also recognized it, her voice trembling slightly.

They knew the value of this item all too well.

Su Ze smiled without explaining. Instead, he operated the virtual panel rapidly, opening the public channel belonging to the entire Jinghai University.

He composed a message and clicked send.

In the next second, the already bustling public channel was like a deep-water bomb being dropped, instantly boiling over!

“4th Floor-404-Su Ze (landlord): [Personal Trade] I have nine doses of zombie serum in my possession. Injection grants permanent immunity to the zombie virus. Only bartering is accepted. Those with high-level blueprints, special materials, powerful weapons, or rare skill books can bring their goods to 404 on the fourth floor for a face-to-face talk. No copper coins.”

This message was like a thunderclap exploding in the channel!

“9th Floor-113-Deng Feng: Holy shit?! zombie serum?! For real? This isn't a joke, right?”

“7th Floor-807-Ma Hua (landlord): @Su Ze, Boss! I have a [Common Quality · Animal Trap Blueprint] here, can we trade?”

“3rd Floor-781-Wu Jun (landlord): @Su Ze, Boss, Boss, I have both blueprints and skill books. Wait for me on the fourth floor!”

“1st Floor-451-Chen Lu (tenant): Wuwuwu, can someone buy one and give it to me? I'm willing to do anything! Permanent immunity, I won't have to fear waiting for death after getting scratched anymore!”

“2nd Floor-913-Ye Kai (tenant): Nine doses! Damn, how does Boss Su Ze have so many of these divine items?”

“9th Floor-945-Sun Qian (landlord): Don't get happy too early. Look closely, he said bartering only, no copper coins! This clearly means he's going to jack up the price on the spot and squeeze all the good stuff out of our hands!”

“1st Floor-659-Li Xiaoming (landlord): So what? I finally got a skill book, but before I could even get used to it, my arm was scratched by a zombie! As long as I can trade for the serum, I'm willing to give anything!”

The channel instantly turned into a chaotic mess.

Envy, jealousy, greed, doubt, desire... all sorts of emotions intertwined.

But everyone understood one thing—the appearance of the zombie serum would completely change the existing survival landscape!

...

“But if you do this, won't you fail to receive a single copper coin?” Su Meier leaned in, blinking her seductive peach-blossom eyes.

“Yeah, Senior Su Ze,” Liu Qiaofei asked softly, “if you trade like this, won't they still keep the copper coins in their hands?”

“Who said I'm not taking copper coins?”

Su Ze smiled and began to explain slowly.

“Think about it, what is this zombie serum? It's a life-saving trump card, capital that allows one to survive better in this apocalypse.”

“So, if I publicly said it could be bought with copper coins, some of them would definitely try every means possible to scrape together enough coins to buy it.”

“Once they gather a hundred copper coins, won't they discover the existence of the Survival Mall?”

“That's why I intentionally said 'no copper coins.' They'll have no choice but to bring what they consider their 'most valuable' items to find me. At that time, what do you think I'll say?”

He paused, imitating a picky tone.

“Hmm... this item of yours is decent, it has some value, but... to trade for a serum that lets you sleep soundly without worries, it's still lacking a little something.”

Su Meier's eyes instantly lit up, and she rushed to finish his thought: “Then you'll ask him, 'How many copper coins do you have on you? Add them all in, and I'll consider it'?”

“Smart.” Su Ze gave her an appreciative look.

“Think about it, for a life-saving item like the zombie serum, they've even brought out their hidden treasures. Would they be unwilling to part with those last few dozen copper coins?”

“Definitely not, because if you're unwilling, someone else will be!”

“This way, I get the items, and the copper coins they worked so hard to save also end up in my pocket, don't they?”

Jiang Yuwan's breath hitched slightly.

This dog man... his heart is truly filthy!

This was a total overt scheme!

If you don't buy it, plenty of others will!

Furthermore, Su Ze said there were only nine doses. If you don't buy it, they'll be gone in a heartbeat!

“Of course, I'm not that rigid. For someone like Wang Meng, who has a team and absolute authority, or others who just happen to have more copper coins, the speed at which they unlock the mall will inevitably be faster than others. I have to keep them hooked.”

“For people like that, I'll pretend to be a bit hesitant, and finally make a 'friend' or 'deal' with them...”

Su Ze's smile became even more playful.

“I'll tell him, I'm making you a friend, so I can sell you the serum in advance, maybe even for copper coins.”

“However, in the future, good items must be traded with me first, and you must keep your mouth shut and not tell anyone you bought it with copper coins.”

“Finally, pay me in installments—for example, thirty a day for six consecutive days...”

“To prevent him from defaulting, he'll also need to provide collateral, like his Dormitory's food and drinking water for the next few days.”

“This way, I can steadily harvest copper coins from him every day, ensuring he can't save up enough money recently.”

“I've also seized his lifeline for survival. Combined with my strength and the subsequent monopoly on supplies, I'm not afraid of him being disobedient.”

Su Ze finished and spread his hands.

“Hehehe...” Su Meier was the first to react, laughing so hard she trembled. She sat directly on Su Ze's lap and wrapped her arms around his neck.

“Landlord, you really are a natural-born unscrupulous merchant! A serum that costs one hundred copper coins is sold for 180 through installments. But if the person paying in installments dies in the middle, wouldn't you lose out on this business?”

Su Ze shrugged with an indifferent look: “In business, there are always risks.”

“Losing one or two doesn't matter, as long as the majority are profitable, it's fine.”

Liu Qiaofei looked excited and full of admiration, already faintly looking forward to it.

Yao Qingya looked at Su Ze gently and dependently.

Meanwhile, Jiang Yuwan had only one thought in her mind.

This dog man's schemes are too deep, and his heart is too black.

Fortunately, she was his teammate and not his enemy.

“That was my first idea—using this routine to harvest powerful players and lucky ones. As for the second idea, it's for the vast majority of ordinary players...”
