Apocalypse: I Have A Multiplier System

Chapter 591 - 591: Joining The Hope Base

Even though those were the words Su Jiyai spoke out loud, in her heart, she was thinking calmly.Four times the price was already huge. Cedar Base had way more people than Hope Base. That meant the demand would always be high, and the coins would flow in without end.

She could easily gain more money than what her own population could ever provide. It was simple math. More people meant more mouths to feed, and four times the price meant profit without loss.

Her mind ticked like an abacus.

'If I had agreed to ten times the price like they offered, I would be squeezing them dry too fast. But four times is perfect. They will think I am being kind, while in truth, the profits will never stop. And besides…'

Her gaze lowered for a moment. She remembered the system's betrayals, the times it had almost cornered her into traps with rules and points. She no longer trusted it fully. She trusted herself.

'This apocalypse will end. I will end it. When that happens, Federal Coins might start becoming real currency again. At that time, food will not hold the same power. It is better that I invest in land, in buildings, into my own foundation, rather than just stacking points for the system. My own hands will build my future.'

work. Together, we will build something greater."

The delegation exchanged shocked glances. Their fear was melting, replaced by greed and hope.

Leader Shi tapped his fingers slowly against the table. He could feel his subordinates' gazes pressing on him. They wanted it. They wanted it so badly that he could see the hunger in their eyes.

Weilin, beside Su Jiyai, leaned closer and whispered softly, "Jiyai… you are really planning far ahead, aren't you?"

Su Jiyai smiled faintly but did not answer. She kept her gaze steady on Leader Shi.

He finally sighed, shaking his head slightly.

"Boss Su… you truly are a terrifying woman. You see everything, you think of everything. If Cedar Base joins you, then perhaps… humanity really will see the end of this apocalypse."

Su Jiyai's voice was calm, but her eyes glowed like steel.

"That is the goal. To end this world of zombies and give humans a chance to rise again. Alone, each base struggles. But together, under one vision, we can end it."

"Alright then." Leader Shi took a deep breath and answered.

Leader Shi sat in silence for a long time after Su Jiyai's final words. The hall was so quiet that even the sound of people breathing could be heard. Finally, he let out a long sigh and nodded firmly.

"Alright then," he said, his voice steady. "Cedar Base is ready. From today, we will walk with Hope Base."

His subordinates looked at each other, some with relief, some with disbelief. It felt like history was being written in front of their eyes.

Su Jiyai's lips curved slightly. She lowered her chin in respect and said, "Then let us seal it properly. Leader Shi, I will draft a contract. This is not just words, it will be something all can trust."

Leader Shi's eyes warmed. He gave her a small smile.

"You are wise, Boss Su. I see you not only think of strength but also of fairness. A contract will make everything clear for both sides."

And so, the contract was signed. Su Jiyai's strokes were elegant as she signed her name, and Shi Liang followed with his own, his hand steady.

When the papers were exchanged, the whole room seemed lighter, as if a heavy stone had been lifted.
