Post-apocalyptic World: Stockpile Ten Billion Supplies at the Beginning

Chapter 196



What do I want?

Of course, hehe.

Chen Luo had no thoughts about the Sea Princess.

First, Chen Luo is a good man.

Second, the current Sea Princess, although she seems to have a stunning appearance, is just an illusion, actually just a seafood.

After reaching the king level, Sea Princess can shapeshift, and even after shapeshifting, she still uses her current appearance.

But it’s also fake.

In his previous life, Chen Luo killed her, so he knows what her true appearance is.

She looks like an old auntie.

Sea Princess is very old, and no one knows how many years she has lived.

Clearly an old auntie, yet she transforms into a young appearance.

What does this show?

It shows that she loves to be beautiful.

Sea Princess has a sore spot, which is that she absolutely cannot be called an old woman or be insulted for being ugly.

If you praise her for being beautiful, she might let you go, but if you dare to insult her with words like ugly and old, she will definitely hunt you down.

While waiting for Sea Princess to arrive, Chen Luo has been thinking about how to deal with her.

Killed?

Directly destroying her clam shell would continuously weaken her strength, causing a decline until death, and this process takes time.

Using time acceleration to speed up this process, Chen Luo wasn’t sure who would die first, Sea Princess or himself due to excessive consumption.

For a level seven mutant zombie, Chen Luo would have to expend two-thirds of his abilities.

For a level ten Sea Princess, it would probably take the crystal to shatter.

Chen Luo thought of another way.

Could he subdue Sea Princess and make her work for him, or cooperate with her?

It’s about using her love for beauty.

Sea Princess transforming into a young appearance is just about caring about her age, right?

Then the time ability would come in handy.

Chen Luo cleared his throat and started to deceive.

“We don’t have any life-and-death grudges, or unresolved enmity. We don’t necessarily have to fight to the death. It’s you who came to cause trouble for me, and I retaliated. It’s not like I actively sought to harm you.”

Sea Princess looked coldly at Chen Luo, “Anyway, if you dare to harm my clam shell, it will be an endless feud.”

Chen Luo said, “Aren’t you curious why the Sea Turtle King’s eldest son is so big?”

Sea Princess’s eyes showed a keen interest, clearly intrigued.

“It’s simple. I have the ability to control time and can accelerate its passage.”

Sea Princess was momentarily stunned, then sneered, “You really can talk big. Why don’t you say you’re a sea god?”

Chen Luo smiled faintly and didn’t mind, “Then please find a few small fish and shrimp to verify it yourself.”

Sea Princess thought about it and wasn’t afraid that Chen Luo would run away with the clam shell. If he really wanted to run, she couldn’t stop him.

Soon, Sea Princess  found four small fish and shrimp.

Soon, Sea Princess found four black prawns that were thirty centimeters long.

Really small shrimp.

Chen Luo shrugged. If they weren’t mutated, such large sea prawns would definitely be delicious.

These small shrimp probably didn’t even have first-level strength. Chen Luo, who had practiced time acceleration on the little sea turtles many times, effortlessly made them grow significantly.

Sea Princess rubbed her eyes. Is this for real?

She had never seen this ability before; it was simply incredible.

Chen Luo chuckled, feeling triumphant. Surprise, huh?

Seeing Chen Luo’s smug look, Sea Princess disdainfully said, “So what? The little sea turtles need to grow, but I don’t.”

Her age was a secret, and she would never reveal that she was very old.

Chen Luo said, “Can’t you think in reverse? Since I can accelerate time, I can certainly reverse it as well.”

Sea Princess widened her eyes. Time reversal? Could it make me young again?

Sea Princess’s breathing became rapid.

In the past, she had a little intelligence, but no concept of age. However, since a mysterious change, she had gained intelligence and became increasingly concerned about her age.

Having lived in the sea for who knows how many years, she had also seen many humans and admired their elegant appearance.

Furthermore, she wanted to live a little longer.

Sea Princess’s eyes sparkled. “Come on, try it on me. As long as it works, everything is negotiable.”

But Chen Luo shook his head. “No, I can’t use it right now.”

Already bad-tempered, Sea Princess angrily cursed, “Then what’s the point of you saying anything?”

Chen Luo raised a finger and shook it. “As long as my level is the same as yours, I can use it. If it’s fast, it will be ready in about a year. Can’t you wait for a year?”

Sea Princess thought for a moment. “Alright, as you said, we have no grudges. I’m just helping the sea turtle. But if you can’t do it after a year and make me wait for nothing, don’t blame me for being unfriendly to you.”

Hmph, who knows who will be unfriendly to whom after a year.

As long as I make people insult you for being ugly, you’ll have to come ashore to hunt me down, and won’t the clam shell end up in my hands?

Chen Luo said, “It depends on you. As long as you can find some powerful sea monsters and give me the crystals from their heads, I can quickly increase my strength.”

Sea Princess readily agreed, finding this task not difficult.

Sea Princess said, “Can you return my clam shell to me now?”

Chen Luo blinked. “You have to prove your sincerity by giving me the pearl from your head.”

This pearl is quite beautiful, and Chen Luo also knows that it has the function of repelling water. It’s a treasure.

In his previous life, Chen Luo used it as a toy.

Chen Luo remembered that it was placed in the space of abilities, but when he was reborn, everything was gone.

Sea Princess cursed angrily, “You may be ugly, but you have beautiful thoughts.”

Chen Luo swallowed his pride. “I’m ugly?”

Frustrating.

If I didn’t want to fall out with you, I would have insulted you as an ugly woman right then and there.

Chen Luo snorted. “You show no sincerity at all. I’m afraid you’ll attack me as soon as you’re done deceiving me, right? Then let’s call it quits. Fish die when the net breaks.”

“If you’re sincere, I’ll return it to you after a year.”

After much struggle, Sea Princess slowly said, “Alright, but you have to help me keep it safe.”

The temptation of time reversal was too strong, and Sea Princess didn’t want to end up in a situation where both sides suffer.

Sea Princess slowly took off the pearl from her forehead and threw it to Chen Luo.

Chen Luo felt delighted as he once again received his toy.

He got it back.

Chen Luo also honestly returned the clam shell to Sea Princess.

Cooperating with Sea Princess had certain risks, and it might lead to a falling out.

But everything has two sides.

With Sea Princess, he would have a better understanding of the situation in the sea, and he would have someone on his side in the vast ocean.

It would also enable Sea Princess to help him obtain crystals.

If he didn’t dare to take any risks, Chen Luo, facing the terrifying future apocalypse, really didn’t have much confidence in surviving.

If he really went all out, it was uncertain who would survive.

Sea Princess squinted and said, “I hope that after a year, you really will have mastered time reversal.”

Chen Luo was very curious about Sea Princess’s strength, how she reached level ten at this point. Mutants were possible, but they didn’t live long. However, Sea Princess had lived for a long time and could continue to advance.

He never had the chance before, but now Chen Luo wanted to try asking.

“I’m curious, how did your strength reach this level so quickly?”

Sea Princess seemed to be lost in thought.

It’s late, not easy.

This plot with Hai Ji wasn’t forced at all; the Sea Turtle King’s hidden move of calling for reinforcements had been set up long ago.

The reason why some marine creatures are exceptionally powerful will be explained later. I have already planned the reasons for the emergence of the apocalypse and the arrival of monsters before writing this book, so you don’t need to worry about how I will round it out.

I have a clear idea of the specific direction of the whole story. What I’m currently struggling with is how to make the story interesting.

Many people have asked why the protagonist knows the world rankings while he’s just mixing in the Capital City area. This is because a major rainstorm will be arranged to flood the resources of other cities, and half of the survivors will come near Capital City.

If Chen Luo can run so far in just one hour, is it a problem for the survivors to run across the entire country in two or three days?

When you’re hungry and capable, you will search every corner of the world for food.

Sea Princess’s deception was quite successful.

It’s late, and the quantity has increased, but as for the quality, well, everyone can judge for themselves.
