There are Zombies at the Door, My Gunmen Have Auto-Aim Cheats! - Chapter 23
Chapter 23: Acquiring 460 White Crystal Stones!
Humans always harbored endless fears.
It was similar to the stock market in Lin Feng’s previous life, where there was a common joke about “chives”—a term for overly worried investors.
Fear was contagious. When Lin Feng started buying large quantities of food, he didn’t say a word but watched the market’s reaction. Other survivors, however, were overwhelmed by their own imaginations.
Thus, a stampede-like rush to buy food began, and the market quickly faced a shortage of food supplies.
The price of food skyrocketed to 3 jin per white crystal stone at an alarming rate. Initially, even during severe shortages, food was priced at 5 jin per white crystal stone.
Now, food became a scarce commodity.
“Damn, you guys are buying too fast! I wanted to get some food, but how am I supposed to do that now?”
“How did the price of food suddenly get so high? I’m completely shocked!”
“This is unbelievable!”
“Damn, I sold my food too early.”
Finally, the price of food stabilized at 3 jin per crystal stone, creating a distorted balance in the market.
At this moment, Lin Feng decided to sell all the food he had.
First, he bought back his four yellow crystal stones, creating the illusion that his yellow crystal stones were successfully traded.
Then, he began to sell the food he had.
However, he chose not to sell it at a fixed price.
Lin Feng mentally instructed the system, “Sell anonymously and in small quantities, each time selling only 3 jin of food, for a total of 1380 jin. Only accept crystal stone transactions!”
【Trade set, processing…】
【You have received 1 white crystal stone through anonymous trade】
【You have received 1 white crystal stone through anonymous trade】
【You have received 1 white crystal stone through anonymous trade】
【You have received 1 white crystal stone through anonymous trade】
…
In almost an instant, Lin Feng’s food was snapped up by the panicked crowd!
【Trade Summary: You have received 460 white crystal stones by selling 1380 jin of food!】
【Updating resource statistics…】
【Current resources: 180 jin of food, 672 liters of water, 460 white crystal stones, 4 yellow crystal stones, 5000 building materials, 500 steel!】
Lin Feng made a pure profit of nearly 200 crystal stones through the trade!
Such profit margins and costs resulted in almost a 100% profit!
Now, Lin Feng had an astonishing reserve of 460 white crystal stones.
However, Lin Feng knew that such an operation could only be used once for now, as frequent use would severely damage his reputation.
This time, he leveraged his reputation to gain nearly 200 white crystal stones.
The profit was indeed enormous. No wonder many billionaires in his previous life could earn money effortlessly. However, Lin Feng used his reputation as collateral.
Ignoring the market’s sentiments, Lin Feng noticed that the sun already set. He began to plan his next steps.
Using these 460 crystal stones to upgrade his soldiers’ levels and his own aiming skills would be the most prudent choice.
Recruiting more soldiers could be put on hold for now, as the current method of attack involved using wooden planks from the second floor. Having too many soldiers might negatively impact future offensives, so it was better to focus on an elite force for the time being.
Lin Feng returned to his room to rest. Although he slept quite a bit during the day, he now felt a wave of mental exhaustion. Transitioning from a normal life to surviving in the apocalypse required gradual adaptation.
Outside, the zombies occasionally let out roars. Beyond the house lay a true horde of the undead.
Under the night sky, the zombies seemed like fanged vampires, their bodies twisted and filled with an endless aura of death.
This terrifying aura was something the zombies did not possess during the day.
“Bang!”
A tall zombie smashed the head of a nearby ordinary zombie with a single punch, then extracted a white crystal stone from it and put it into its mouth.
After swallowing the white crystal stone, the tall zombie’s body visibly grew larger before it began to wander off…
Under the cover of night, these zombies were undergoing terrifying transformations…
The next morning, the system’s voice woke Lin Feng.
【Today’s shelter production: 10 white crystal stones and 1 yellow crystal stone have been distributed. Please check your inventory…】
【Current crystal stones: 470 white crystal stones, 5 yellow crystal stones.】
【Today’s food (30 jin) and water (11 liters) have been automatically deducted and given to the cook. Current food and water resources: 150 jin / 661 liters】
As soon as Lin Feng got up, he smelled a rich aroma.
The cook already started preparing breakfast.
