Post-Apocalyptic Survival Modpack

Chapter 113, Section 112: The Deal

"You are humble."

Number Nine said, "I can't lie to you, this item is extremely valuable."

"If there's anything I can do to help you in the future, please don't hesitate to ask and contact me anytime."

After saying that, Number Nine carefully put away the amulet and hurriedly left under the urging of headquarters.

"Is that so?"

Wang Ji looked at the amulets he had bought wholesale in his inventory.

The cost of this thing isn't actually that high.

In the later stages of the old world's apocalypse, they almost managed to get one for everyone.

It seems like there is a way.

Maybe later we can assess its value in the market and generate some income.

But not before that.

Wang Ji retrieved a coordinate—the Tower of the Wise.

It's supposedly a place where you can get Genesis Coins, so I should at least take a look and check it out on the map.

At least figure out what 'Genesis Coin' is.

Move when you say it.

Before long, Wang Ji arrived at the central area of the administrative world.

I also saw the building whose coordinates were displayed.

The sound of the clock hands turning rang out.

Wang Ji raised his head and looked at the so-called Tower of the Wise Men before him, and remained silent for a moment.

"Why does this look so familiar?"

Isn't this the tower of the Keeper of the Secrets?

Well, after all that, we've come full circle.

What else can we do but go in?

Wang Ji took a step forward, and immediately a voice came from behind him.

"Stop."

He was stopped.

"This is a private area. Entry is prohibited without an invitation."

Wang Ji asked, "Does that mean no one can enter without an invitation?"

The person who stopped him nodded, showing no disdain or impatience because the person in front of him was a boy who looked very young.

He replied in a serious tone, "Yes, this is not a place for ordinary people, no matter how powerful your background is."

"Unless you are..."

Before he could finish speaking, Wang Ji revealed his title.

The words "Genesis Level" flashed overhead, and everyone nearby received a notification simultaneously.

[A 'Genesis-level' powerhouse is passing through this area. Please pay close attention!]
The words I was about to say were stuck in my throat.

"Please come in."

The man respectfully stepped aside and showed Wang Ji the way.

Wang Ji walked in with practiced ease, crossed the gate, and arrived at the first floor of the tower.

An arrow floated by, but this time it didn't point upwards; instead, it pointed in another direction.

After flying for a while following the arrow, Wang Ji arrived at a large hall.

They met the young man who was waiting there.

He still looked the same, with dark circles under his eyes and lifeless eyes staring at Wang Ji from head to toe.

The hall was somewhat quiet.

The two of them maintained an eerie silence, as if by unspoken agreement.

After a moment of silence, the keeper of the secret spoke first:

"what."

"Anything else?"

Wang Ji: "It's nothing, I just came to browse."

The keeper pointed behind Wang Ji and said:
"The gate is open, feel free to do as you please, and leave when you're done looking around."

“If you weren’t special, I would have kicked anyone out, even if they were a creation-level being.”

"I'm very busy."

He looked like he was dealing with an uninvited brat.

"Wait, something's wrong!"

Wang Ji stopped the guardian who was getting up to leave and said, "I just want to ask what 'Genesis Coin' is and what it's used for?"

Upon hearing this, the keeper sat back down.

Only then did he straighten out his attitude and present Wang Ji with a chair.

After Wang Ji sat down, the keeper of secrets went straight to the point, saying:
"It's very simple. One Genesis Coin is worth the same as a standard ordinary world, such as the reception world we met before."

As he spoke, the keeper of the secrets stretched out his hand, and a deep black dot, as dark as the Milky Way, appeared in his hand. Sometimes it appeared to be in a state close to matter, and sometimes it seemed very illusory, as if it did not exist in reality.

"This is the singularity of the world's source power, worth one 'Genesis Coin'."

Wang Ji stared intently at the singularity of the world's source power, feeling an extremely alluring aura emanating from it.

Once I get my hands on this thing, it will definitely bring about some new changes in me.

Wang Ji immediately asked, "How do I obtain it?"

The keeper of the secret said, "That depends on you."

"Either build and create a new world in your own way and condense the singularity, or find an existing world."

It seems like it's not possible to do that for the time being.

Wang Ji appeared somewhat embarrassed.

Or perhaps…

The Keeper of the Secrets scrutinized Wang Ji and said, "Your world is unprecedented; it's a completely new system with no prior records." "If you wish, you can choose to sell some valuable world specialties."

Wang Ji's eyes lit up.

"That's exactly what I wanted to ask."

He took out a protective amulet.

The person guarding the secret listened to the explanation of the function and then tested it himself.

"Hmm... an absolute product that can be immune to all negative statuses. It is very rare. Its biggest advantage is that it can be carried around and can resist apocalyptic-level infections."

"Considering the number of uses, it's worth about 50,000 World Coins."

"You should take this to the market, not come to me."

Take less?

Wang Ji opened his eyes wide.

fifty thousand!?
Considering the purchasing power of the world's currency, this is simply an extremely profitable business.

Throw the resources that can be bought with 50,000 World Coins into the conversion table, and you can get countless amulets in return.

It can no longer be described as a highly profitable venture.

If we can keep selling, then we'll achieve global currency freedom.

The only problem is market saturation; this thing might not fetch a good price.

Moreover, judging from the tone of the person guarding the secret, it's not that similar things don't exist, but they are relatively rare and cannot be wholesaled in unlimited quantities like they are.

But it's enough.

Given the vastness of the world, it will probably be a long time before the market reaches saturation. Until then, achieving global currency freedom is not difficult.

Thinking about it, Wang Ji said, "What if I had a lot of this?"

The keeper glanced at him.

"That can allow you to earn a lot of World Coins."

"Ok."

This means that no matter how much you have, you can't exchange it for Genesis Coins.

In this case…

Wang Ji began his presentation, taking out and examining all the objects in the world that did not involve the origin.

This includes various redstone machines, as well as a torrent pocket watch that can control the flow of time.

However, the keeper of the secrets did not have a very high opinion of them.

"It can create perpetual motion machines that generate an infinite amount of energy and matter, but the power output is rather low. However, the redstone is quite interesting; these machines can be collected as collectibles."

"That pocket watch can control the flow of time, it's certainly somewhat useful, but..."

The keeper of the secret waved his hand, and a scene of an empty world appeared.

He snapped his fingers, and within a second, day and night alternated dozens of times, with the vegetation on the ground growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Any creator-level being can do this, and even some of the stronger world-level beings can."

"Any more?"

"what?"

When Wang Ji took out the six elemental flames from the mysterious craftsman, the guardian paused for a moment.

He picked up a bottle of Flame of Departure, examined it for a few moments, and said:
"These elemental flames are interesting; just a small bottle is enough to scorch the entire world."

The keeper couldn't help but glance at Wang Ji.

“But it’s no use.”

"It's a meaningless thing, and it's also a bit dangerous. It behaves like some kind of apocalypse."

If a bottle is thrown in and not stopped in time, the whole world will basically be destroyed.

Not to mention the Keeper of Secrets, even Wang Ji himself never wanted to touch these things. These elemental flames were all artifacts that destroyed save files and would burn the entire world into a single block.

Like the flames of the Xun wind, it can quickly burn all matter in the world into sand, and turn fluids into cakes.

If you throw a bottle down and let it burn for a minute, even Kaizou's creation won't be able to stop the spread.

The only solution is to roll back the game.

Looking at it this way, it really does resemble the end of the world.

After looking at similar items, the Keeper of the Secrets was not very satisfied, and most of the time he only commented that they were "worth collecting".

Finally, he pointed to the transformation table in Wang Ji's hand and asked, "What about that thing? Aren't you going to sell it?"

"Not for sale," Wang Ji refused outright.

"What about the workbench?"

"Not for sale either."

"Pity."

The keeper shook his head and concluded:
“Apart from the workbench and the conversion table in your hand, everything you bring out, including those machines, I can offer 0.1 Genesis Coins.”

Wang Ji asked in confusion, "So many things are only worth 0.1 Genesis Coins?"

"You're not trying to lower the price because you think I'm naive, are you?"

The keeper said in a calm tone, "Giving you 0.1 is just my personal way of showing respect for new knowledge and because I see you're too poor."

"No one in all realms respects knowledge and secrets more than I do."

“Other Genesis-level entities might not be willing to accept this junk.”

"Ok."

Wang Ji thought about it and realized that it made sense.

After all, he didn't bring out anything truly crucial.

but…

0.1 Genesis Coins really can't do much.

Besides exchanging it for World Currency.

This 0.1 Genesis Coin can be directly exchanged for ten million World Coins, but the reverse is not possible; this exchange is one-way.
