It’s a cliché power fantasy wrapped in academic jargon to make a simple story seem intellectually profound. Using terms like "survival economics" is just a pretentious way to describe a very basic get-rich-quick trope.

🔥Poor Boy Unexpected Opens Gateway Another World, Shocking! Trades Bread For Gold, Crowd Adores Him!Added:
My name is Liam Foster. My grandfather is dead. My step grandma is two years younger than me. That old man was a real piece of work. He said this shop held infinite wealth and would be an inexhaustible treasure trove. Instead, I inherited it only to lose money year after year. You had fun with over a dozen wives while alive and died leaving me to clean up your mess.
Liam, the $300,000 you owe me. Don't you think it's time to pay up?
>> Didn't we agree on 3 days from now? What rule says collect early?
>> Rules?
When you borrowed money for your girlfriend's leukemia treatment, you weren't talking about rules then.
>> Ruby, please get better soon in three days. If I don't see that $300,000, this crummy shop and your little girlfriend are both going to be finished. Let's go.
How can there be a door in this wall?
It's actually real.
Where the hell did this send me?
What the If you can't kill zombies, then stay put in the shelter.
>> I >> coming out here is either becoming free food or a death wish.
Where did you get bread? Food this rare?
This rare? You want some? As a thank you gift?
>> Since the apocalypse, I've never smelled anything so delicious. Do you have any more of this? What's the price?
>> The bread is eight.
>> Eight bars of gold.
>> Gold? You're that generous?
>> Buddy, it's been 7 years since the apocalypse. Food is the scarcest resource there is. Money is just useless scrap paper, too stiff to even use in the bathroom.
>> Did I just land in an apocalypse? The one thing people don't lack here is money.
>> The portal will close in 20 seconds.
>> Damn it, is there a time limit?
Hey, how about a deal?
Same time tomorrow. I'll bring 100 loaves of bread. We'll trade cash for goods. Deal?
>> I can't believe you have so much rare food.
Wait here. I'm going back to report to our base leader.
Time's up. Gate closing.
>> It's gone. It wasn't an illusion.
30 minutes. It seems this portal leads to another world. It just has a time limit. They need fresh food and water. I have plenty of that here. And it's dirt cheap. Now, not only is Ruby saved, but I can keep the shop, too.
This portal is my way out and my ace to make a comeback.
>> Boss, another person is dead from hunger. Is there really nothing we can do?
>> The warehouse supplies are already gone.
The scavengers haven't brought back anything decent for 3 days. It's the seventh year of the apocalypse. There's no food left out there.
>> Boss, there's hope. We're saved.
This thing, where did it come from? In this wasteland?
How can there be such fresh food? Is there any more?
>> Yes. I met a strange man outside today.
He suddenly appeared in the ruins holding fresh bread. He was almost killed by zombies. I happened to save him. The most important thing is he said he'd prepare 100 loaves of bread and milk. Same time tomorrow at the place we met to trade.
>> Trade? This must be a trick that bastard is setting for our base.
>> He He actually asked me for money.
>> Money?
>> Yes.
>> Listen up. Did you all hear that? This mysterious fraud wants the most worthless thing in these ruins. Money.
Mia, give this bread to the weakest. Let them take a bite just to keep them alive.
The rest of you, if you can still move, grab your weapons. Nobody sleeps tonight. We are definitely going to catch this fraud.
>> Yes, boss.
>> Tomorrow, I'll see for myself what tricks a fraud can pull in the apocalypse.
>> I hope it opens. I hope nothing goes wrong. Please.
Don't move if you want to live. 7 years into the apocalypse and you still want a scam. You must be crazy for money.
>> Wasn't it agreed? Cash for goods. Damn.
I see. You want it for free, >> boss?
It's real. Everything is fresh.
I'm Zayn Thorne, the boss of the survivor base.
>> Zayn Thorne? That's a girl's name.
>> We roughly estimated the value of these supplies. Please take a look.
>> This is way too much. My food and drinks aren't worth this much. Just the value of this gold likely exceeds $300,000.
Not to mention those emeralds and jewels >> in the world today. A bottle of clean water or a piece of untainted food is priceless. These goods of yours are too rare. I actually thought you were a scammer.
>> Glad I met someone normal in this apocalypse.
>> Sir, I wonder besides food and water, do you have medicine and such? Tools are fine, too. Though our base isn't big, our needs are huge. If you can get them, price is no object. We'll even pay extra.
>> This is big business. long-term business. If we keep this going, I won't have to worry about money for Ruby's treatment. Yes. Don't worry, Zayn. As long as I have it on my end, I can get you whatever you need. As much as you want.
>> Great. Mia, show the list to Mr. Foster quickly.
>> Oh, man. They're trying to empty half a supermarket. I just own a small grocery shop. Where can I get all this instantly? Even a wholesaler couldn't get it all at once. and the medicine.
Can you even buy that in bulk so easily?
This list is complex and the quantity is huge. On my end, getting it all ready, will take time.
>> Master, how long will it take? To be honest, the supplies you delivered today, even if we're careful, will only last us 2 days.
>> 2 days? Fine. 2 days. It is. This time, the day after tomorrow at this exact spot. I'll try to bring the most urgent batch first.
>> Great. You are indeed straight to the point.
>> Gosh, this is awkward. Let me take one to calm my nerves.
>> Damn. Cigarettes, >> master. Am I seeing things? That's spiritual nourishment. Real cigarettes.
>> Yeah, these. What's wrong?
>> 7 years. I haven't even smelled these in 7 years. Master, do you sell them? I'll trade gold bars or whatever you want.
I'll go find it for you. Just sell me a pack of cigarettes. A single one. Even just one puff.
Me too. Me too.
>> This is it. Gold for cigarettes. What kind of deal is this?
>> Is it possible, master? They have been repressed for so long and can't take it anymore.
>> Sure, but it's bad for your health. I I'll try to bring some.
>> Thank you so much. The day after tomorrow, I'll definitely be here waiting on time.
>> I didn't think cigarettes were hard currency in the apocalypse. Am I about to get rich?
This isn't a dream. It's really not a dream. I'm going to be rich. Hey, Zach.
I need 2,000 sausages and salted eggs.
Right. Right. A whole truck of ramen.
400 lb, not four. Hey, Alden.
The food and drink are settled.
Medicine. You need such a huge amount of medicine. Where am I supposed to find that? Do I have to tell Zayn that I can't get it? But without medicine, in that environment, an injury is fatal. If they're gone, where do I get my money then?
>> Who's there?
>> Liam, get the hell out here.
>> Are you crazy? It's only the second day.
Why are you early again?
>> Where is he? Oh, you're awake. Slept well. Did you, Mr. Foster? Well, is the $300,000 ready? Is it cash or a transfer?
>> Caleb, we agreed on 3 days. It's only day two.
I collect the money whenever I feel like it.
Stop your crap. Today, if I don't see $300,000, I'm declaring a default and the interest doubles right now. This dump right now immediately is getting torn down. Boys, >> wait. Money? I have it, but coming early to wreck my shop, destroying property, and scaring my late grandfather's spirit. How are we settling that bill?
Well, now Mr. Foster has grown some guts trying to settle scores with me. Fine.
You put down 300,000. No, 600,000 with interest. And I'll even lick this shop clean for you. Can't do it. Huh?
>> Just wait.
>> Gold. Gold bar. Where the hell did you get this?
>> This thing is to cover that 300,000. Is it enough? Just one bar for 300,000.
Give it here. Let me check.
>> Caleb, on the streets, we follow the rules and trust our eyes. Whether it's real, don't you already know? I won't waste your time. Take out the old IOU and tear it up now. Then write a new one. State clearly Liam Foster's debt of 300,000 paid in full with one solid gold bar, clearing all accounts. The debt is settled with no further claims. Write it. Sign and thumbrint it. and this bar is yours.
>> The money would go to the boss and I wouldn't get a single scent. This gold bar is worth more than the debt. When I sell it later, won't all the extra be mine?
Fine, kid. You got me.
Write a new one.
Whoa, this is heavy. Well, Mr. Foster, I guess I underestimated you before.
>> Wait, >> what now? Are you looking for trouble?
>> You messed up my shop, but I'll let that slide. I have to head out for a bit, restore the shop exactly how it was before I get back. Then cowtow three times to my grandfather's portrait, and we'll call it even. Otherwise, you took a gold bar from me, and I can't guarantee your boss won't find out.
>> Fine, Liam. You've got guts. What are you staring at? Start cleaning up.
>> Yes, boss.
>> Oh, right, Caleb. I forgot to tell you.
I just installed highde wireless cameras and they sync to my phone. So, clean it well. Especially those cow tows. Make them loud and show some respect. I'll be watching on my phone, rooting for you.
>> Fine.
>> Then transfer $100,000 to Ruby. She's in the hospital alone and she has a lot of expenses.
Jace, Liam is just my lap dog. Poor and stupid. See, I fake an illness and he's dumb enough to borrow from lone sharks.
Once I bleed him dry and take his money, I'll marry you.
>> Ruby Hail, how dare you lie to me?
>> So, you heard? Even better. Let's break up.
>> I believed your fake illness. I took out high interest loans for you, being hunted by debt collectors every day.
Don't you have anything to say?
>> What's there to say? You borrowed the money. You're the one being chased. None of it involves me. If you weren't such a good servant, I wouldn't give a loser like you the time of day.
>> Buddy, if you can't pay back, come find me. Maybe I'll feel generous and give you $200.
>> Ruby, you have no idea what you've lost.
You'll regret what you did today.
The quality is fine. Pure gold, but the craftsmanship is a bit dated. Looks like it's from 10 or 20 years ago. Friend, is this a family heirloom?
>> It's from my ancestors. I just need cash urgently.
>> All right. Based on today's market price, minus a small service fee for all of this, I can give you this much total.
>> That works. Cash or transfer. Let's do a transfer. It's safer.
>> Thanks.
>> Strange.
Trading real gold for quick cash these days. Is he in some kind of trouble?
>> Mr. Foster, it's just like you said.
Everything's handled and we bowed, too.
Can we go now?
>> Your bowing sounded sincere enough.
Fine. We're even. Don't be in such a hurry. I have a batch of goods arriving and I can't do it alone. The three of you are idle anyway. Help me unload.
Organize it according to the list and then you can leave. Think of it as making amends for my lost business today.
>> Liam, don't push your luck too far.
Why are you still standing there waiting for a show? Get to work.
Boss, what is he trying to do? Opening a supermarket or disaster relief?
>> Who knows? This guy is very creepy. Stay sharp. Finish moving and get out fast.
>> All right, thanks for the hard work. The doors that way. See yourselves out.
Let's go.
Damn, still no medicine. Do I really have to go empty-handed? Zayn and the others need this most.
What the hell?
It hurts. Where on earth am I? Did I walk through the wrong portal?
>> You You have no spiritual roots or essence, no cultivation level at all.
How did you break through the celestial barrier and sneak into the backyard of the alchemy palac's pill lab? Speak.
What kind of monster are you? What dark magic did you use?
>> Beauty. No. Beautiful fairy. It's a misunderstanding. A huge misunderstanding. If I said I have the same question as you, would you believe me?
>> How strange.
>> Lady Saraphina, it's time for lunch. I'm so hungry.
>> Food. Food. You only think about eating all day. The menu at the celestial court's kitchen never changes. And the peach banquet only happens once a millennium. Usually, it's just spirit fruit, elixir, or spiritual dew. It's completely tasteless. I'm tired of it.
I'm not eating.
>> This fairy knows alchemy, but she hates the food in the celestial court and wants something different. Oh man, this is my big chance. Do you both want to try something different?
You're in for a treat. I can promise you these boxes are filled with delicacies from the mortal realm. The celestial court definitely doesn't have these.
>> What is this?
>> These are my hometown's secret instant celestial noodles. Can you two heat up some water?
>> Easy. Watch this. Now what?
>> Now pour it into this bowl. Wait five or 6 minutes and you can eat.
>> Smells good. So good. When will the noodles be ready?
>> My lady and Corey, please.
Yum. It's so delicious. Lady Saraphina, try this quickly. It's 100 times better than spirit pills. No, a thousand times.
This thing, it tastes wonderful. Savory, delicious, and the texture is so springy. This red sauce is just incredible. Simply beyond words. When did the mortal realm get such incredible food anymore? This is delicious. I want more.
Mortal boy, do you have any more noodles? I will trade immortal crystals or lowgrade artifacts for them.
>> My lady, to be honest, not only do I have noodles, I have delicacies never seen in the celestial court. For instance, extra crunchy potato chips and refreshing soda.
But I don't want crystals, nor do I want artifacts.
>> Then what do you want?
>> I want immortal pills. All kinds of them.
>> I thought you'd want some rare treasure, but it's just pills. In the alchemy palace, above all else, we have plenty of pills. Aren't those just the low-grade pills I make for practice given to the workers like Cory as snacks? How many do you want? Say it.
>> Starting with 1,000 bottles.
>> How many? 1,000 bottles. That's 10,000 pills. Do you think my pills are made of dirt? Or are you treating your lady like a slave?
>> My lady, look, this is just an appetizer. As long as we have a stable trade, I'll regularly bring you these exclusive treats from the human world.
Hot pot, barbecue, milk, tea, cake, and chocolate. I guarantee you and Cory will never find eating boring again. And I only want the lowest, most basic pills.
To you, it's just a small effort. While you're refining anyway, right? Fine, since this food is indeed novel, 1,000 bottles it is. But these are just basic meds with ordinary effects. Don't expect them to perform miracles. Also, you must regularly bring me new varieties.
If the supply stops, >> rest assured, my lady, I'll be on time with plenty of variety. Pleasure doing business. Cory, go to the left shelf in the alchemy room. Take the bottles labeled grade B and C and give 1,000 bottles to this boy.
>> Wait here. I'm going back to rest.
>> I can't believe food could be this good.
>> Who knew there was such a gluttonous goddess in the celestial court?
Hey big guy, this cosmic pouch contains 1,000 bottles of elixir. They're basic ones, so you can eat them like candy.
Bring more cola and chips next time.
>> Thank you, little one. I definitely will.
>> That's odd. He has zero spiritual power, yet he can travel between worlds.
>> Ow, my back. Can I stop landing on the ground?
Darn it. This cosmic pouch actually won't work in this world.
I'm exhausted. I need some sleep first.
I almost overslept. Grabbing a snack.
Then I have to head out.
Where's the money? All this cash and gold given to me by Mia and the others.
Now it's turned to this. Does that mean Oh no. I must get to the apocalypse world now. Mia and her group must be in trouble.
>> Mia.
>> Master, you finally arrived. Zayn, what happened to Mia?
>> Earlier today, our base was suddenly attacked by a mutant swarm. Everyone fought hard, but many are. Lots of them are losing their minds and fading fast.
Mia was scratched by that zombies claws.
The claws were poisonous. The last of our antibiotics didn't work at all. Her wound is rotting fast and her fever won't break. She's She's slipping away.
>> Is this why the gold turned into stone?
>> Did you bring the medicine you promised to bring? Please save Mia.
If you can save her, our entire base will serve you. Anything you want, I'll grant it.
Without antibiotics, we only have 2 days. Any longer and we'll all become those creatures.
>> 2 days. That's enough. I'll find a way.
Wait for me.
So many people are sick. We need way too much medicine. I can't buy it all in time alone.
I have to try the divine elixir.
>> Liam, you Brad, how dare you scam me a stone?
>> Liam, do you dare play me?
>> Caleb, this is >> Don't play dumb.
The gold bar I took yesterday when I tried to cash them in turned into this useless stone playing tricks on me. Are you? It really is bound. The state of the apocalypse world is affecting this place. Caleb, do you think I'm that skilled?
>> Then how do you explain this?
>> I can't explain it, but I can fix it.
Give me one more day and I'll give you double the gold bars.
>> I don't believe you. Now immediately.
Either give me the money or pay the price.
>> The portal is still open. Mia can't wait. I must get away now. The police are here. Sorry about this, Caleb. I'll give you an answer tomorrow. Stop him.
Boss, are you okay? Boss.
>> Damn it. Where is he? A grown man just vanished into thin air.
>> B. Boss, this door. Was it glowing just now?
Master, you're back so soon.
>> There's no time to explain. This is a magic pill. It might work.
>> It's worth a shot at this point.
>> Mia, >> what's happening? Is the pill not working? Is it making it worse? Master this.
Master, you saved my life. I am at your service from now on.
>> This medicine is even better than the antibiotics we fought so hard for.
>> Master, from today, you are the benefactor of our base.
>> Don't thank me yet. There are other wounded fellows. One pill each. Keep the rest of the pills safe. You might need them for injuries or toxins in the future.
>> Such a precious treasure, master. You're just giving them to us.
>> Everyone's lives are more important.
Your survival is vital to my success.
These pills are great. I'll trade for more from Saraphina next time.
>> Master, don't worry. Whatever you need from our base, whether it's jewelry or other rare resources, we'll save them for you first.
>> Closing countdown. 10 seconds.
>> It's getting late. I should head back once I prepare the supplies. I'll be back.
Liam, you're finally out.
This kid vanished. It's creepy. We must be careful.
>> Caleb, here's double the gold bars.
Consider our past conflict completely settled. These bars, they aren't just stones again, are they? Check them yourself.
>> If they're fake, the shop is yours.
>> Fine, Mr. Foster. You're a straightforward man. The past was just a misunderstanding. From now on, just say the word and I, Caleb, will obey.
>> Good. Caleb, I have another business deal to discuss with you. My shop will have regular stock incoming, and I need help with the moving and shopkeeping.
Are you interested, Caleb? The pay is great. Every month, one gold bar.
>> One gold bar.
>> Caleb, your men have good skills, and I'm short on hands. It's just moving boxes and watching the shop. Nothing troublemaking. And every month, you get paid on time. What do you say? There's something odd about Liam. He can vanish into thin air in second, and he has real gold and silver. Following him is better than being a debt collector, not to mention a gold bar every month.
Mr. Foster, are you serious?
>> Do I look like I'm joking? These two are for the previous damages. Take them. If you agree, then starting tomorrow.
>> You and your two men can start work.
>> I I I agree. Of course I agree. Mr. Foster, from now on, I Caleb.
No, no, no. Cal, I Cal am yours to command. Wherever you point, that's where we strike.
Good. Come by tomorrow morning and I'll tell you what needs to be done.
Remember, working for me means following my rules. No slacking off and don't touch my stock, especially by the back door without my permission. No one goes near it.
>> Understood. Perfectly understood.
>> Boss, are we really working for this Liam kid?
>> Just lay low. Whether he's a wolf or a dog, we'll soon find out.
Mr. Foster, we're here.
>> Good. These and those outside. Bring them in, sort them, and log them. Rice and flour go on the left shelf.
Canned goods and sausages in the middle.
Medicine and tools on the right. Keep it tidy.
>> You got it.
>> You got it.
Here are this month's gold bars.
>> Mr. Foster, who are you selling these to? You restock daily, but I never see any buyers.
>> They're regular customers. They pick them up themselves.
>> I see.
Let me try some, too.
>> My lady, I brought you more treats.
>> Mortal boy, you finally arrived. The snacks you brought last time, I've finished them all. I was just waiting for you, >> big guy. What goodies did you bring today? Do you have more of that drink called cola?
>> Excellent. This fizzy immortal nectar is even better than those instant noodles.
>> My lady, to be honest, I'm not just here to drop off snacks. I want to make another deal.
>> What do you want? More elixir. I'm telling you now, even the basic ones can't be handed out so freely. Refining them is hard work.
>> My lady, I know how much effort you put in. Besides the snacks, I brought a real mortal feast. Please try some.
>> No matter how novel the food is, it won't last forever.
Say it. How many pills do you want this time?
500 bottles of detox pills and 300 bottles of strength pills. Mutant zombies are increasing during the apocalypse. Soldiers getting hurt or poisoned is common, so these pills will save many lives. Don't worry, I'll bring you new treats every time I come. Hot pot, BBQ, and brazed pork. I promise you'll taste every worldly delicacy.
>> My lady, big guy's food is so delicious.
Please just say yes to him. Then we'll have new snacks every day.
>> Fine. Fine. Your snacks got me hooked.
These are the detox pills and strength pills you wanted. All freshly made. So, use them wisely. By the way, last time I noticed you have no powers. Traveling between worlds is too dangerous. So, here is the breath guide. It's basic cultivation to help you sense spiritual energy and strengthen your body. Think of it as a bonus.
>> Big guy, this is for you. I made a simple storage bag that can hold so many things. Next time, bring more of that drink called cola.
>> I was worried about carrying supplies.
This bag is a real lifesaver.
>> Mortal boy, I'll give you a warning. If the portal ever acts up, it means disaster is coming. Remember to proceed with caution.
>> I will keep that in mind.
Boss, this Liam is too strange. He restocks every day, but no one ever comes to buy that white light just now.
>> Shut up. This kid is definitely hiding a huge secret. In the daytime, the goods he had us move. We're all food and supplies. What kind of shop is this?
Tonight, we sneak in to see what he's really up to.
>> Boss, look at the back door.
this breath guide. I only flipped through a few pages, but I can already sense the energy waves around me. It's definitely good stuff.
So useful.
The breath guide along with these strength pills. Twice the result with half the effort. Twice in the apocalypse. Once in the immortal realm.
Tomorrow I go back to the apocalypse. I need to prepare more supplies.
So exhausted. I'll do it tomorrow.
Boss, this is the kid's treasure. Will it make me an immortal?
>> You try it first.
>> Boss, I feel something. I'm full of energy.
Damn it. This is the real deal. Behind that door, there must be more of this stuff.
>> Should we go take it now?
>> What's the rush? Watch him first. Once we learn his routine, we'll take it all at once. By then, immortal pills and gold bars will all be ours.
>> Mr. Dale, as for the cigarettes, I'll take everything you have. Do you have the premium ones? I'll buy it all.
>> Mr. Foster, with so many goods, are you sending them to regular clients again?
>> Goods for my old clients must be delivered on time.
Watch it. Can you afford the damages if you drop them?
>> Sorry. So sorry, Mr. Foster. I was just being careless.
>> Mr. Foster, your regular client is quite mysterious. We never see anyone come to pick them up. Do they only come at midnight?
>> Something like that. They don't like meeting strangers. Midnight pickups are just easier.
>> Mr. Foster, you see, the three of us have been working for you for a while now. Why not take us along? We could lend you a hand.
>> No need. I can handle it. Just look after the shop. You'll be well rewarded at the end of the month.
>> All right, then. Mr. Foster, just call us if you need anything.
>> Kid, you're guarding against me.
Tonight, I'll have you begging on your knees.
Mr. Foster, it's late.
Where are you going?
>> Caleb, what are you doing here?
>> If we didn't show up, how would we find your secret? Behind this door is where you hide the loot, right? Vanishing into thin air, bringing out gold bars and elixir. It must be full of treasures.
>> Mr. Foster, don't be a fool and take us in. Otherwise, this shop and you will both be finished right here.
>> Don't be reckless. It's not treasure in there. It's very dangerous.
>> Dangerous. The three of us live for danger. Do you think we're afraid?
Either take us inside or we'll ruin you right now and open it ourselves.
>> Since you're so eager to end yourselves, why should I stop you? If those zombies bite you, it's not my problem.
Fine, I'll take you in. But consider yourselves warned. It's really dangerous inside. And if something goes wrong, don't blame me. Cut the chatter. Open the door now.
>> Where on earth is this, >> boss?
This doesn't look like a place with treasure. It looks more like a primitive forest. Shouldn't it be the apocalypse?
Why did it change again? Is there no pattern to this portal? Is it jumping randomly? Or is it because they broke in, disrupting the portal's stability and sent us to this unknown world? Are you messing with me? Where's the treasure? This forest is empty.
>> I sense a massive energy fluctuation.
This place, something's wrong. The portal might have failed. It's my first time in this dump, too. I suggest you keep quiet, >> boss. Look at that.
Go. Gold.
Such a huge chunk of gold. This place is covered in gold.
We're rich. Come on, eat it quick.
Let's split up and gather it. Dig up all the gold.
>> Don't go. It's too quiet. Something's wrong. There must be danger. We can't split up.
>> Danger? What kind of danger with the pills power? Even zombies are nothing.
If you're scared, just stay here and watch us get rich.
What's happening? What's going on?
>> An earthquake.
>> Run. Get out of here.
>> A T-Rex.
Seriously? I got dumped in Jurassic World. I'm just dinosaur food now. Help.
Help.
>> Run. Run. Now, >> boss, what are you doing?
>> I'm sorry, dude. You have to stall it for us.
>> Boss, you >> shut it.
If you want to live, run.
>> Such greedy and selfish bastards.
Get behind me.
>> Mr. Foster, think of something fast.
>> This T-Rex is too tough to fight with it.
Little Cory said this was a simplified version. It's limited in capacity and load. No choice. Time to take a gamble.
You two run to the left. Draw its attention.
You're out of your mind.
>> Only an idiot would listen to you. Go feed the dinosaur yourself, >> boss. Mr. Foster wants us to be the bait.
>> No way. Let's find a place to hide. Let the monster and him take each other out.
>> Help, Mr. Foster. Save me.
>> No, I don't want to die.
>> Back off.
Hold on tight.
This bag I don't think it can hold.
>> It's Zayn and the others.
>> Where are we now?
>> Mommy, I want to go home.
>> This impact on the portal was significant.
Oh no.
Help me.
Don't run. Run now. You'll die faster.
Why are there still so many monsters?
>> What on earth is that?
>> A dinosaur. Why are there dinosaurs in the apocalypse? Tired of the apocalypse and time to go Jurassic? It's drawn the zombies away. Zane, let's go. Take a team and check it out.
I didn't expect that fluke to work.
>> Master, did you bring us some help?
>> In a way, a pleasant surprise.
Hey, you've got the wrong target. I'm not your enemy.
>> Run.
>> Lamb skewers. At a time like this, you're thinking about skewers.
This actually works, buddy. Let's make a deal. Let me go and I'll bring you skewers every day in every flavor you want.
If this Jurassic King could be my mount, that would be incredibly awesome.
Get down.
Oh man, this backfired. Sit.
Holy crap, it actually listened.
>> I actually used lamb skewers to tame a Tyrannosaurus Rex. Look.
>> That's Mr. Foster.
>> Let me introduce everyone. This is our new partner. Let's just call him Skewer.
>> Mr. Foster, are you okay? How did you tame it? This guy. High speed acceleration. Didn't need much. Just one lamb skewer was enough.
>> This is too bizarre. Taming a monster like this with one skewer.
>> Master, you are truly a god. With skewer here, our base's security will be even more guaranteed.
>> I'll be counting on skewer to guard the base from now on. Don't worry, I've got plenty of lamb skewers.
with this T-Rex as a bonus. My path as a crossworld merchant. Just gained a major trump card.
>> Mr. Foster.
Liam, let's go back. I I know I was wrong. I won't dare do it again. I I'll do whatever you say from now on.
Please.
>> This crossing was full of surprises. I not only unlocked the Jurassic World, but even brought a T-Rex to the apocalypse. Who knows what chain reactions will follow.
>> Mr. Foster, these are the gold bars our base organized overnight. 50 bars in total. Please accept this small token.
Thanks to you and your pet skewer. Our base survived this disaster. You are our literal lifesaver.
>> Zayn, you're too kind. We are partners.
Keep these gold bars for now. Next time, I'll bring more supplies. Then we'll settle up properly.
>> No way.
You saved all of our lives and brought such a powerful beast. These bars are not enough to repay you.
From now on, I Zane am at your service.
>> Don't say such things to a simple guy like me.
>> Master Zayn is right. We'll also handle the food for our buddy skewer. Remember to bring more lamb skewers next time.
We'll build a dedicated snack warehouse for it.
>> Fine, I'll accept it then. We're heading out. I'll bring hot pot base and iced cola next time for everyone to enjoy.
>> Yes, Mr. Foster. We need to get back now.
>> Be good and stay here. When I come back, I'll bring you spicy lamb skewers.
Mr. Foster, I'll never do it again. That dinosaur could have swallowed me in one bite. And those zombies, they're terrifying.
>> Good that you're scared. You saw what happened to Caleb. Greed and selfishness will only ruin you.
>> Mr. Foster, I was wrong. I'll follow you with absolute loyalty from now on.
Whatever you say, I'll do. And I won't ever hesitate. Just give me a chance to redeem myself.
>> Get up. I actually do need someone to watch the shop. If you're being sincere, then stay and help me. But the back door, you know what's up. I get it. I get it. I'll never say a word and I'll stay far away from it. I promise to follow the rules. If I make even one mistake, you can do whatever you want with me.
I'm heading out tomorrow to get supplies and gear. So, I'm leaving the shop to you. Guard the door and don't let any outsiders in.
>> Thank you, Mr. Foster. Don't you worry.
I'll guard this place so well that not even a fly can get in.
>> That's not necessary. We still have a business to run after all.
>> My cultivation has advanced even further in just a few days.
Liam, this shabby shop, how did it suddenly get so fancy? Did you trick and swindle people and use shady items for the renovation? That $300,000 loan, you've paid it off. I just closed a big deal. I made over a million.
Unlike some people stuck in a rundown shop, never making anything of themselves. Look at this $50,000 in cash. It's more than this dump earns in 6 months.
>> What I do with my shop is none of your business. Now get out.
>> Get out. This gold actually looks real.
I'll take it to compensate for the youth you wasted. Let go of me.
>> Ruby, back then you tricked me into that loan, then ran off with the money and betrayed me. I haven't even settled that debt yet. And now you dare to rob me?
>> Liam, how dare you touch me? Want me to have Jace ruin you? Hey kid, let go of Ruby right now. I'm telling you, I just bought a Mercedes G Wagon. With one phone call, I can shut your little shop down for good.
>> A Mercedes G Wagon?
>> Do you mean this kind? Or this kind?
>> These keys are fakes, aren't they?
You're just showing off fake.
>> No, that's impossible. He had to borrow $300,000 from sharks. So, how can he drive a Bentley?
>> So, what if you have a luxury car? It's probably just a rental. How much could this dump of yours even make? You dare compare your wealth to mine?
>> I just deposited this yesterday.
You looked down on me for being poor, tricked me into debt, and ran off with my money to be with him. The wealth you're bragging about now is nothing but worthless trash to me.
>> Liam, I was only joking with you, don't take it so seriously.
>> Get lost. A vain and greedy woman like you, looking at you even once more makes me feel sick.
>> So, what if you have money? You'll never amount to anything stuck in this dump.
>> A dump? The meaning behind this shop is something a selfish woman like you will never understand. Now take your man and get out.
Cars are useless in the apocalypse. I just brought it back as I passed by. I didn't expect it to come in handy today.
Liam, just wait. I'll tear down this shop sooner or later.
Mr. Foster, you've finally arrived.
This is a gunshot wound. Ordinary zombies don't use guns, let alone injure him.
Unless it was heavy weaponry. Who hurt Skewer?
>> It's Bloodcrow.
>> Bloodcrow.
>> Bloodcrow is a terrorist organization in our region working with zombies and targeting survival bases. The people of Bloodcrow have frequently loitered outside the base lately. Not only did they catch two of our men searching for supplies, but they also hurt Skewer.
They probably noticed our plenty of supplies and developed malicious intentions. Their people are well equipped and ruthless. They've already swallowed two small survivor strongholds.
Besides, their actions are strange, so we must be careful.
These are essential medicines as well as skewers food.
Move everything back to the base.
Mr. Foster, this is the black crystal ore we found deep within the ruins.
Please see if you can use it. It's a small token of our appreciation.
>> This ore can block energy. It's perfect for forging weapons or fortifications.
Good stuff.
>> Leave the supplies and I'll let you live.
On guard.
Oh my god.
trying to run. Bloodcrow sent you all just to steal supplies.
>> The leader said once we take your supply route, it's only a matter of time before we crush this base.
>> They're coming for me.
Say, what is Bloodcrow really after?
Don't think playing dead will save you.
>> You have no idea who you're messing with. The leader of Bloodcrow >> is beyond your league. Cut the nonsense.
Tell the truth and I'll let you live.
>> Since you won't listen, I'll take your ears.
>> I'll talk.
I'll talk. The leader of Bloodcrow was originally Raven. He was a guard captain at a bolab.
>> A bolab? What kind of experiment?
>> It was gene splicing. They merged zombie viruses with animal DNA to create super soldiers. The experiment went wrong. The virus leaked and everyone in the base turned into monsters. Only Raven survived. He was changed by the virus.
He's not just powerful, he can control the low-level mutants. He even absorbs the virus to strengthen himself. He seized all the weapons and equipment from the research base to create what Bloodcrow is today.
>> No wonder you're so arrogant.
>> Arrogant? The leader's goal isn't this small base of yours. He's been looking for stable supplies to rebuild the facility and finish the experiments from back then. Since your supplies appear so strangely, the leader has been watching you. When he makes his move, none of you will escape.
>> He can control the zombies and knows genetic testing. This bloodcrow leader is tougher than I thought.
>> Controlling those zombies, that's too creepy.
>> I'd heard the rumors about the biological lab before, but I never thought they were true.
>> Maybe the world is like this because of their failed experiments. Now is not the time to panic. Bloodcrow has the base's weapon and the leader's mutant powers.
The raid in three days is a serious threat. Mr. Foster, we're counting on you and Skewer. Tell me, should we move the survivors now?
>> They're too large a target. Bloodcrow would hunt them down. Instead of running, we should stand our ground.
>> But our equipment is nothing to Bloodcrow. If we defend, >> boss, Mr. for Foster. Blood Crow's people dumped mutant zombie corpses around our base and they left a note.
>> 3 days I'm coming for the goods. Play any games and everyone pays with their lives.
>> It seems this bloodcrow leader is even more impatient than we thought.
>> That scumbag actually dared to provoke us.
He's coming in 3 days. Can we even hold out?
>> Maybe we should run. As long as we're alive, there's still a chance.
>> Don't panic. Running now is just going to die. Since Raven issued a warning, he must have scouts watching us. The moment we move, he'll pick us off one by one.
>> No need to fear. The more Raven rushes, the more it shows he's desperate for resources, and the more he fears we'll strike back. We have 3 days. Enough time to prepare. Zayn, send an elite squad out to scout immediately. Find the direction of Raven Stronghold and their deployment. Remember, don't engage head-on. A T-Rex might be king, but it's still carbon based. Can't survive modern weapons. To solve this once and for all, I need to find Saraphina.
>> Mr. Foster, I'm fine. What time is it?
>> Almost. The sun is up, boss. Why did you stay for so long this time?
>> I can't believe I stayed that long.
Could the portal be changing as my power grows?
At Saraphina's place, there must be something to deal with modern weapons and viruses. Saraphina is a foodie, so I'll need some exotic treats for a trade.
Mortal boy, you've finally arrived. What goodies did you bring this time? I still haven't had enough of those crawfish from last time.
>> My lady, I brought an earthly barbecue set this time, plus a self-heating hot pot. No fire needed.
>> Don't be so quick to eat. Nothing good happens whenever this kid shows up. Tell me, what do you want this time?
>> My lady, I'm in some trouble. A guy modified by a virus. Can control zombies and even use heavy weapons. He's trying to steal my supply channels. Can I trade for something that blocks heavy weapons and counters that virus?
>> Counter that virus? The detox pills you traded for earlier will work. Block heavy weapons.
This is black turtle armor. It stops bullets and shells and even hides your presence. I'll also give you 10 bottles of flame bursters. Toss one and it'll blow a group to bits. Is that enough?
>> Yes, more than enough.
Big guy, take the storage bag. Your old one is torn. This one is better and more durable.
>> Thanks, little one.
Detox pills, black turtle armor, and flame bursters. These will definitely be a huge help to them. I'll give it to them tomorrow.
Wait, it's not the apocalypse.
Why does this portal keep acting up lately?
>> Fellow cultivator, need some spirit herbs?
>> It brought me to a cultivation world this time.
I have top tier grade one spirit herbs here for early stage cultivators. All premium quality.
Friend, I'll trade this for your spirit herb plus a basic cultivation manual.
What do you say?
>> What is this? It rivals spirit herbs.
What's that scent?
It smells amazing. This is mortal calm incense. It clears the mind and while cultivating it keeps the spirit calm.
Any problem a smoke can't fix is no problem at all.
Deal. Though this manual is basic, its foundation is solid. Take it, friend.
>> Friend, got more calm incense? I'll trade heart purifying pills for it. I have the beginner's energy guide. Trade me two packs.
>> Trade with me.
friend. Do you recognize this?
>> Is this >> black iron crystal?
>> It really is black iron crystal.
With a treasure like this, one can forge a divine weapon. Young man, I am the head forger of the forge. I'll trade this newly refined spirit cutter sword, plus a manual for the blazing sword art for that halfpiece of black iron crystal. What do you say?
>> You think it's that easy? I am also from the sword sect, friend. How about selling it to me, young man? I'll give you this Azure edge sword, plus 50 focus pills for it. I'll even add in the spirit control sword manual.
>> This cauldron is the flame gathering tool. It can speed up alchemy and forging.
>> Plus 100 cal pills. The black iron crystal belongs to me.
>> I >> stop right now.
>> How can such a treasure be fought over in public? representing the forge. I offer the high-grade mountain shaker sword, plus the forge manual, 30% off future materials, and a promise to custom forge you a black iron crystal divine weapon. Young man, do we have a deal?
>> Deal.
>> It is a deal. I shall start the forge now to forge the sword for you.
I name this sword evil bane with black iron crystal as its core sharpened in ice essence to slay the fallen and cleanse the wicked making it unstoppable.
This is the secret tome plus 20 bottles of body tempering pills as a gift for you.
Regarding this black iron crystal, I can provide a steady supply. interested?
>> Yes, I'll take as much as you have. With such quality, I'll pay triple the market price.
>> Deal. Wait for my next visit.
Not only did I get treasures, but I also secured a long-term buyer. Plenty of profit ahead.
It's almost the third day. Bloodcrow is going to Apocalypse base tonight. Mia and Zayn. I wonder how they are.
Stay alert. Damn it. Bloodcrow is launching a sneak attack.
Mia, take a team and guard the front.
I'll block the back portal.
That jerk is controlling the zombies.
Mr. Foster, stay away at all costs.
It's too dangerous here.
But we really can't hold out much longer.
>> Hold on, Mr. Foster will definitely come. No matter what, the elderly and children must survive.
hand over the supply chain and I'll make sure you and this stupid dragon meet the quick end.
Mia Zane, I'm coming.
Give up.
Stop struggling. From now on, this apocalypse will be mine.
>> No.
>> Who dares touch my people?
Mr. Foster. Mr. Foster.
>> He actually had a backup plan. It seems you hold the secret. Hand over the supply channels and I'll make your end quick.
>> You want the channels? Answer to my sword first.
>> This sword can stop the poison.
>> It doesn't just stop poison. It stops monsters like you.
Interesting. If I absorb your power and this sword, my experiment will be a success.
>> Oh no, he's mutated again.
>> He absorbed enough virus. He's gotten even stronger.
>> Mr. Foster, we're here to help you.
Get lost.
Watch out.
Skewer. Cover me.
With this strike, it's all over for you.
No.
Now >> at last everyone is still here.
>> Take this. It will help heal and detoxify.
>> Thank you, >> Mr. Foster. I really owe you this time.
>> It's just a scratch.
You did a good job, buddy.
This is your reward, Mr. Foster. Now that Bloodcrow is handled, other bases will definitely want to join us.
only you have enough supplies and clout and we want to recruit them to build a truly safe place together.
As long as you're here, we have hope.
Before we just wanted to survive, but now it's different.
We see the light.
This is the first new life born in seven years since the apocalypse. We want to give this child and everyone else a real home, not some ruins vulnerable to zombies.
>> A new life.
>> Clean up that area.
>> All right, we're building a home. I'm in. We're not just going to survive.
We're going to thrive and build a paradise in this wasteland.
This man didn't just bring the hope of survival. He gave our base a real future.
>> I found these secret training scrolls.
You two start practicing. From now on, we three are the iron trio of this base.
>> Mr. Foster is truly reliable.
Once I've mastered this, I will follow you wherever you go.
>> This is a basic technique from the cultivation world. Once you both master it, your power will double and I can focus on my business.
With this quality, those cultivation guys will fight to trade for it. My orders are going to skyrocket. Follow the standards, everyone. Set the best ones aside. This is our money maker.
>> Take a break. You've been busy all morning. Look at you. You're drenched in sweat.
>> How can a man look so handsome just drinking water?
I'll leave you in charge of the mine.
I'll take the packed black iron crystals now. Just wait for my return. I'll bring you lots of good stuff.
>> Mr. Foster, there is something Mia and I have considered for a long time. And I came to tell you today, >> Mr. Foster, you are the strongest and most reliable person I've seen. We want to be with you. We don't expect anything. just to be by your side. Even if it's just serving tea or counting supplies, I am willing.
>> Mr. Foster, Mia is telling the truth. If you say yes, I'll handle all the bases chore and the guard duties and won't let you worry one bit.
>> The two of us, >> I want to stay together.
>> Both of you. Why are you suddenly saying this?
>> It's not sudden. Every time you save everyone with the portal, I find you truly amazing.
about this. It took all our courage to speak to you.
>> Mr. Foster, give us a clear answer. Do you agree or not? Don't keep us hanging.
>> Let me think. All right.
This is too sudden. I need to sort it out.
>> 10sec countdown.
>> I have to leave.
>> Sir, please give us a definite answer next time.
I'll be waiting.
With all these black iron crystals, there's no way Astroblaze won't want them.
So many. You are a man of your word, young man. Black iron crystals of this quality. It's been a long time since I last saw any.
>> Manager Astra, the goods I brought this time should keep you busy for a while.
The triple market price we discussed and the long-term supply deal. Let's finalize the agreement today.
Nothing would please me more.
From now on, you will supply all the black iron crystals for the forge. The price is triple the market rate. Payment upon delivery with zero delays.
>> Refreshing. I'll guarantee a steady supply. So, you just focus on forging divine weapons.
Good. Go to the warehouse and get 50 bottles of body tempering pills and 30 lowgrade spirit stones as payment for this batch.
>> Yes.
With this steady channel, I won't have to worry about selling black iron crystals anymore. Time to try something new.
Boss, is this storefront for rent?
>> It is. Five lowgrade spirit stones a month with a 10 stone deposit and a 3-month minimum.
>> I'll take one month first and then renew it later.
Deal. It's all yours, young friend. Just let me know if you need anything.
>> Step right up. Don't miss out. Exclusive treasures from the mortal world. Spicy sticks for a quick boost. Crunchy potato chips and the joy of cola. Essential goods for every cultivator.
>> What is all this, >> fellow immortal? One taste is all you need.
These are potato chips. They are perfectly crisp and full of savory flavor. A perfect snack to refresh while cultivating. There's also this, the calm incense. Light one up when cultivation gets dull and you'll be sharp immediately. This cola cools you right down. Even better than spirit springs.
Wonderful. This texture, this flavor.
I've never tasted anything like it. Such rare treasures. How do we trade?
>> One bag of chips for one low-grade spirit stone. One bag of spicy sticks for one heart purifying pill. One bottle of cola for one low-level manual. Rare materials.
>> Young friend, I'll use this body tempering pill to trade for 10 packs of calm incense. All right, >> deal. This calm incense don't just alert you. It steadies your soul during cultivation. You have a great eye.
>> I want one, too. Give me one.
>> My friend, your business is booming. Can you save some cola for me later? I'll trade you top quality spirit herbs.
>> No problem. We're neighbors after all.
With this treasure shop as a base, the crossrem trade is finally secure.
Doing all the hauling and selling alone would wear me out eventually. If I train a few capable people and I focus on the portals and the oversight, wouldn't that be easier and more efficient?
Mr. Foster, you're back. There's something. I'm not sure if I should say it.
>> What is it?
>> While you were out, a woman showed up.
She looked quite pathetic with messy hair and very dirty clothes, claiming to be your friend. Her name Ruby Hail.
She waited at the door for 2 hours.
She said she was wrong, shouldn't have betrayed your heart, wanted to apologize, and wanted to get back with you together.
I told her you were out on business.
She refused to leave. In the end, she left because she couldn't afford a ride and she kept looking back as she walked away.
She regretted a bit late for that, isn't it? When she stole my money and ran off with someone else. Why didn't she think of today?
people. They only cherish things once they're gone. Too bad it's too late.
1 bill560 million received. Your balance is $1.89 billion.
taking treasures from the celestial court and cultivation world and selling them to the resource starved but cashrich apocalypse world then bringing all that cash back to the real world. If there's a Forbes ranking for middlemen, I'm definitely in the top three.
Now my daily trouble is I have more money than I can ever spend.
this dump of a shop and he won't take1 billion to tear it down. The owner must be out of his mind.
>> $1 billion.
That's enough to last me lifetimes.
>> What do you all know? Last time a spoiled rich kid came in here full of himself, causing a huge scene in the shop, and his father's company was audited that very same day. Neither this shop nor the owner are simple.
I heard this dump is hiding treasures.
I'm curious to see what exactly made Mr. Vance so humble.
What are you looking for? Take your pick from the shelves.
This just looks like a run-down grocery shop. How could there be any treasures here?
Wait, what's this? A custom PC Philippe?
No.
The dial material doesn't look like a standard custom piece. I heard a top tier jeweler once paid a fortune for a fossil dial. This dial, it looks like a fossil, too.
Kale. What's this?
A bracelet made of ancient agarwood. My dad tried to bid for one and failed.
It's valued at $20 million at least.
This man, he might be a major shark hiding in the shadows. Everything in here is worth over 10 billion. Since he's alone, I should take all of this for myself.
Boys, he's all by himself. Take all these treasures from him.
I was just looking for help and this couldn't be more perfect.
>> Kale, he dares to watch the shop alone.
There must be bodyguards we can't see nearby. We shouldn't go looking for trouble.
>> Yeah, Kale, we can't mess with this guy.
Scared of what? Look at him dressed so poorly. He's clearly just a nobody.
Kid, walk away if you're smart.
Don't force us to act.
>> Exactly. Do you know who KL is? The heir of the Drake Group, a top three company in this city. Get lost while you can.
>> Why are you wasting words? Get him.
>> Top three in the city. Is that impressive?
>> You'll barely meet someone of my status in your entire lifetime. You're just a lowly worker. Who are you to judge me?
A lowly worker.
You scumbag.
Kick him.
>> Kid, don't be so arrogant.
Aren't they the three from the luxury car?
>> Wait, is that the grocery shop owner?
The guy who treats $1 billion like dirt.
>> I told you not to mess with him.
>> He ignores $1 billion.
Just how scary is he? Even the Drake group is only worth $1 billion.
>> Still planning a robbery.
>> Master, we were wrong.
We were blind to your greatness. We shouldn't have offended you. Please just spare us.
>> As long as you let us go, we'll do anything.
>> Anything? Yes. Yes. We wouldn't dare defy you.
Then work for me.
Didn't you want the rare treasures in my shop?
Work for me. And those treasures are yours to pick.
