At the same time, in another room, a man about 180 cm tall, still covered in bloodstains, was holding a crossbow in his hand. His eyes were fixed on the door, but from time to time he still glanced at Rover's chat window.
"Damn it! Someone already bought the Door Upgrade Blueprint." He cursed angrily.
If anyone saw him, they would immediately recognize him as the first person to kill someone while scavenging for supplies, Danny.
He ground his teeth, his eyes turning red like a wild beast, but Rover's next message made his eyes light up.
"What?! A Survival Guide?"
…
"Survival Guide…"
In another room, a girl with an incredibly beautiful face murmured, her eyes staring at the chat window displayed in front of her.
Although she was beautiful and carried a noble aura, the special thing was that she was sitting in a wheelchair.
She glanced toward the entrance door, then let out a soft sigh and said quietly, "The defense here is probably stable enough. The Survival Guide might be more valuable."
…
Block A – 5th Floor.
A woman and a man stood side by side, their expressions extremely calm. Around them, other people were trying to hold back the zombies with simple weapons they had picked up.
But unlike those who were fighting without any tactic or only knew how to run away, these people were fighting with a certain method.
A group in front used tables, chairs, or anything they could find to pin the zombies outside, while a group in the back used weapons to continuously hack at the zombies' heads.
They then took turns to recover their stamina. Although their movements were still sluggish and not yet smooth, they had already formed a basic combat routine.
The woman and the man observing them were both wearing special forces uniforms, looking incredibly formidable.
At that moment, the woman glanced at her message interface, frowned, and said, "Dokai, that person has already sold the Door Upgrade Blueprint."
The man named Dokai was over 190 cm tall, with a sturdy build, tanned skin full of strength, and eyes as sharp as blades.
Hearing that, Dokai clicked his tongue and said, "He did not accept the price we offered?"
The woman shook her head, then said, "He did not say anything. He just sent a message saying he had already traded it to someone else."
"It seems we are not the only ones. There are other Survivors out there who have survival abilities no weaker than ours," Dokai said with a frown.
The woman suddenly saw Rover's new message and immediately spoke up. "Dokai, you should take a look at this."
She forwarded Rover's message to Dokai.
When Dokai saw the message, his eyes widened and he said urgently, "Buy it. Use any means to buy it. In this world, information is the most terrifying weapon."
The woman also nodded and immediately sent Rover a message.
…
Inside the room, Rover saw that most of the people he had messaged had already replied. After that, he had them contact Nanoe and trade with her instead.
When it came to things like trading, Nanoe was the professional. She knew exactly how to maximize profits as much as possible.
And him?
Rover went out, hunted for a while, then came back. He used all his Omni Points to buy bullets, then went out again.
His actions repeated over and over. Only when there were no zombies left on the 7th floor did he finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"Rover, open the trade interface. I will transfer all the resources people paid for the information to you."
Hearing Nanoe, Rover opened the trade window. Right after the trade was completed, he gaped, his eyes filled with disbelief as he looked at Nanoe.
"Nanoe, you… did you really get all this just by selling that information?"
Nanoe gave a slight nod and said, "Not only from the people who contacted you, I also found a few other potential customers in the common chat window."
"But… there is no way it could be this much," Rover stammered.
At this moment, he was looking at Nanoe with completely different eyes. The chief accountant of the company was truly a Goddess. With just a single sheet of information, she had traded for this many resources.
Rover had so many supplies that his backpack could no longer hold them, so he gave some to Nanoe since she also had a System backpack, and besides, he truly trusted her now.
But even with two backpacks, there was still not enough space to store all the supplies Nanoe had traded for, so he had no choice but to stack them in a corner of the room.
Most of what Nanoe had traded for was food and silver coins.
The amount of silver coins reached 820, and she had even managed to get 3 gold coins. The exchange rate was 1 gold coin for 1,000 silver coins.
That meant that in just one day, he had practically become the richest person in this game. Even if that was not entirely true, he was definitely not far behind whoever was at the top.
Rover arranged the things he had received. Aside from the types of food that spoiled easily which had to be kept in the backpack, everything else was stacked in the corner of the room.
At this moment, he felt that all he needed to do was fight to protect the room. As for economic matters, Nanoe would handle them for him.
He looked at her with a triumphant smile, which made her feel both happy and a little embarrassed.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Nanoe covered her mouth and asked with a laugh.
"I feel like I just picked up a gigantic treasure."
Hearing that, Nanoe laughed happily. "This is the first time I have heard something like that coming from a man's mouth."
"Hm?!" Although Rover found that strange, he did not ask further. He knew very well that as long as Nanoe wanted to, she would tell him about what happened between her and her husband, and he did not need to pry.
Rover looked at the items spread out on the floor and asked softly, "Nanoe, I'm thinking, should we keep everything, or just some of it and sell the rest? What do you think?"
Nanoe nodded and said with a smile, "Rover, right now this is the early stage of the game. Even though a lot of people have died, they still have not realized how important these things are."
"I think we should aggressively buy up more items, especially construction upgrade materials and things like construction blueprints or special items."
"Once the zombies retreat and they have time to think things through, they will realize how important these things are and how huge their impact is. Only then will it be easy for us to jack up the prices."
Rover's eyes lit up after hearing that.
"Nanoe, you really are my lucky star."
Nanoe gave a gentle smile. "Really?"
Rover said nothing more. He sat down beside Nanoe, one arm wrapping around her waist, while his other hand lifted her chin so that her beautiful face was facing his.
"Of course," Rover replied with a grin, then lowered his head and pressed his lips against those seductive lips that seemed to be teasing him.
"Um… mmm…"
Nanoe did not resist, letting him kiss her as he pleased. She even began to respond fiercely, extending her moist tongue to let him savor it as he wished.
[Notification: Because the number of Survivors who died has exceeded 150, the Zombie Raid event is temporarily suspended. Everyone has 24 hours to rest and prepare for the next Raid.]
[Support: The System has unlocked new areas, [Cafeteria], [Parking Lot], which contain many new items. We hope you can defend well during the 2nd Zombie Raid.]
At that moment, the System notification rang out, and Rover and Nanoe's movements stopped.
Seeing the notification panel, Rover frowned and said, "Nanoe, you were right."
Nanoe nodded, using her finger to wipe away the trace of moisture at the corner of her mouth left from the intense kiss earlier, then said with a smile, "It seems this game does not want to wipe us out, but is trying to keep everything in a state of balance."
"If too many Survivors die, the difficulty will be reduced and we will be given more support."
"The next Zombie Raid will probably be what decides the difficulty of the event after that."
"I think we should just stick to the plan. Rover, going out now is way too dangerous. Everyone will definitely be fighting like crazy over supplies, and there will be brawls, maybe even killings."
"Right now, we already have plenty of supplies. There is no need for us to go out. What we need to do now is seize the chance to buy as many Game items as possible. If we wait until they realize how valuable these items are, it will be hard for us to sell them."
Rover nodded, feeling that Nanoe's train of thought was truly precise and incredibly clear.
He felt like he was the supporting character, and the real protagonist was Nanoe. But that was fine. After all, he had an SSS-rank class. All he needed to do was fight and upgrade structures, and leave everything else to Nanoe. She was countless times better at it than he was.
"Rover, have you noticed something strange?" Nanoe asked with a smile.
Rover tilted his head, looking at her in confusion.
She smiled and pointed at the global chat window being displayed. "There are a lot of messages popping up in this chat, but no one seems to be saying anything about the information we sold."
"What?!"
