Chapter 64 Rewards, Second Night of the Novice Period!
After hearing Zhou Kai's report, Su Ze's face remained expressionless.
An orphan sponsored by Qiao Yunge's father, and a scholarly genius with superior intelligence.
This relationship was quite interesting.
"You did well."
Su Ze finally spoke, looking at Zhou Kai. "Send a few people to keep an eye on the vicinity of Dormitory 985 on the 9th floor. No need to get too close; I just need to know who he meets and what he does every day."
"Understood! Big Boss!" Zhou Kai nodded heavily.
"Besides these, is there anything else?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Zhou Kai hurriedly reported some rumors and scattered intelligence he had gathered.
"Well done."
After hearing it all, Su Ze waved his hand, and a large pile of supplies appeared out of thin air in front of Zhou Kai.
Food, fresh water, Wood material, Iron Material, hemostatic bandages, and antibiotics.
There were a full hundred units of each.
Finally, Su Ze also threw him a brand-new longsword.
Zhou Kai's eyes instantly bugged out, and his breathing became heavy.
So many things!
"Take these and use them," Su Ze's voice came. "Buy information and plant a few informants for me at the entrance of every floor's corridor."
"Big Boss... this..." Zhou Kai was so excited he could barely speak properly.
"Work hard in the future, and I'll save a bottle of zombie serum for you as a reward."
Boom!
These words had a hundred times more impact than the pile of supplies in front of him!
Zhou Kai felt a rush of blood to his head. With a 'thud', he almost knelt before Su Ze, his face filled with fanatical loyalty.
"Don't worry, Big Boss! From now on, my life, Zhou Kai's life, is yours! If you tell me to go east, I'll never go west!"
"That's enough." Su Ze waved his hand; he didn't want verbal loyalty.
He stepped closer, lowered his voice, and gave another instruction.
"Also, go and spread some news..."
He briefly recounted the plan he had previously discussed with the women to Zhou Kai.
"...Just tell them that the game's difficulty will keep increasing, materials will become scarcer, and prices could skyrocket at any time."
"And for consumables like weapons, it's better to rent than to buy. Saving copper coins to upgrade their doors is the way to go."
"After all, no matter how good a weapon is, you can't kill all the zombies, but a sturdy door can let you sleep soundly..."
Zhou Kai was a bit confused at first, but the more he listened, the more shocked his expression became.
Although he didn't know about any Survival Mall, he wasn't stupid.
He immediately understood Su Ze's goal—this was using panic and logic to squeeze every single copper coin out of the survivors' hands!
First create anxiety, then provide the 'optimal solution,' making everyone unknowingly follow the path he had designed.
In fact, this was actually the most reasonable survival plan!
With this combination of moves, wouldn't the copper coins of all the survivors in the entire Dormitory building obediently flow into the Big Boss's pocket?
He didn't even need Su Ze to explain too much; he instantly grasped the essence of it.
"I understand, Big Boss! I guarantee it'll be handled perfectly!"
Zhou Kai nodded heavily, putting all the supplies he could into his player backpack and carrying the rest in his hands.
He respectfully backed away a few steps before turning to leave quickly, his entire being full of drive.
...
Just as Zhou Kai left, the door to Dormitory 412 opened. Jiang Yuwan and Su Meier walked back, while Liu Qiaofei and Yao Qingya also stopped what they were doing.
"It's done, the warehouse has been initially organized," Jiang Yuwan spoke.
Su Ze nodded, then turned to the four women and said, "I'm preparing to go out."
"Going out now?" Su Meier's brow furrowed.
She didn't know the source of Su Ze's supplies, nor did she know that Su Ze could move freely among the zombie hordes at night.
With a face full of confusion and anxiety, she spoke up: "Landlord, it's almost twelve o'clock; the zombies are about to come out..."
Su Ze smiled and didn't explain.
As he spoke, he directly opened the Survival Mall.
[zombie serum (Excellent): Price 100 copper coins/vial]
Purchase * 4!
[Ding! copper coins -400!]
The next second, four syringes emitting a faint blue light appeared in his hand.
"Now, everyone use one."
Su Ze handed the serums to them.
The Dormitory instantly fell silent.
Yao Qingya and Liu Qiaofei's eyes immediately turned red.
They naturally knew there were serums in the mall, and there were a full five hundred of them,
But Su Ze held onto all the copper coins tightly; they didn't have a single copper coin on them.
Therefore, they hadn't dared to hope that Su Ze would directly buy them for their use.
Especially Jiang Yuwan.
She thought that with Su Ze's profit-oriented character,
These serums would definitely be strategic materials used for trading, winning people over, or exchanging for greater benefits...
"Senior Su Ze..." Liu Qiaofei's eyes reddened, and unable to hold back any longer, she threw herself into Su Ze's arms, her small head rubbing against him repeatedly.
"Su Ze, thank you..." Yao Qingya's eyes shimmered with tears, her voice so tender it could melt water.
"Landlord~ You're so good to me~"
Su Meier was even less restrained, pressing her impressive assets tightly against Su Ze's arm, her eyes seductive.
Only Jiang Yuwan, as she took the serum, had a very faint but soul-stirring smile blossom on her cold face.
She said nothing, only giving Su Ze a deep look.
dog man... he still has a bit of a conscience.
Su Ze ignored their reactions. With a thought, he again found the blueprint in the mall that he had coveted for a long time.
[Thorn Vine Door · Blueprint: Price 3,000 copper coins]
Purchase!
[Ding! copper coins -3,000!]
A blueprint flashing with brilliant green light appeared in his hand, and he casually tossed it to Jiang Yuwan.
"When the durability of the current door is almost gone, use this blueprint to replace the door directly."
Jiang Yuwan took the blueprint and nodded.
"Contact me immediately if anything happens," Su Ze gave a final instruction.
"If you encounter danger, activate the turret directly. Don't worry about consuming copper coins."
"Mhm, you... you should also be careful." Yao Qingya couldn't help but speak up, her face full of worry.
"Senior Su Ze, come back quickly..." Liu Qiaofei looked up from his arms, her small face written with reluctance.
Su Meier gave him a heavy kiss on the cheek, her breath like orchids: "Since you've decided, then... Landlord, we'll wait for you to come back~"
Su Ze's gaze finally fell on Jiang Yuwan.
Jiang Yuwan met his gaze and nodded heavily, her cold voice ringing out.
"Don't worry, leave the Dormitory to me. We'll continue to receive your traded supplies here."
Su Ze nodded and had just opened the door.
The next moment,
A cold, emotionless mechanical voice boomed in the minds of all survivors in the entire building!
[Ding! Midnight has arrived!]
[The second night of the novice period, the zombie attack begins!]
In an instant.
At both ends of the corridors on every floor of the entire Dormitory building,
The walls seemed to melt, and thick, ink-black mist began to spread outward!
One by one, zombies with rotting skin and various forms roared as they slowly stepped out of the endless black mist, densely packed...
At the same time, all the zombies that were originally in a dormant state in the corridors snapped their eyes open, and crimson light lit up in the darkness!
"Roar—!"
Simultaneously, three notification sounds rang out in Su Ze's mind...
[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining today's free attribute points +2!]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining today's Intelligence * 2!]
[Ding, congratulations to the Dormitory for obtaining today's refreshed supplies...]
