Donating supplies, Zheng Yifan thought to himself. Resources were scarce now, and the exchange prices had skyrocketed over a hundred times. Almost no one in Qianyuan Village could redeem food. 0
 
If food were available for exchange now, those people would surely go crazy. They would be eagerly anticipating the chance to obtain food. 0
 
This was the opportunity—a rare chance. What Zheng Yifan wanted was to give them this opportunity, to use the currency they had saved. 0
 
As his hand rested on the Primordial Pearl, Zheng Yifan quickly found the donation option. 0
 
To his surprise, when he selected this option, he discovered that this frustrating so-called System could directly transfer items from his Storage Space into the interior of the System God’s Primordial Pearl. 0
 
The internal space of the Primordial Pearl was surprisingly similar to Zheng Yifan's Storage Space! 0
 
This was terrifying; after all, Zheng Yifan's Storage Space was a byproduct of the Time-Space Barrier, a top-tier technology from the First Vitality Era. Now it could be replaced by a single Primordial Pearl. It was simply incomprehensible. 0
 
However, Zheng Yifan soon understood that he was merely utilizing the auxiliary capabilities of the Primordial Pearl; its true potential had not yet been developed. He believed that the System God’s Primordial Pearl would become even more formidable in the future. 0
 
As for the three Primordial Pearls that Zheng Yifan had already set up, they were likely just expanding the range of influence, and there weren’t many ways to enhance their power. 0
 
On the contrary, having this System God’s Primordial Pearl in hand meant he could elevate his strength to its maximum potential and showcase his power fully. 0
 
The front lines represented more opportunities and more battles. It also meant gaining more energy to nourish the Primordial Pearl. 0
 
This was a cyclical process. With this expectation, Zheng Yifan placed 100 tons of rice along with numerous side dishes and daily necessities like seasonings into the System God’s space. 0
 
These items could be stored inside while waiting for others to complete their tasks. 0
 
Meanwhile, on the streets of the village, the Starving Corpses suddenly brightened with hope. 0
 
In the crowd, a young man in his twenties was gasping for fresh air intermittently, with his favorite System interface displayed before him. 0
 
 
He didn't know why, but he always felt that if he had the chance to survive, it would be because something he needed would appear in this System interface. 0
 
Accessing System information didn't require hands; it could be controlled solely by thought. 0
 
He focused his mind on the Exchange Interface, staring at the empty Exchange List. A deep sense of frustration filled his heart. 0
 
In the past, the Exchange List was filled with supplies—food, drinks, necessities… Almost everything from the Post-Apocalypse could be exchanged, except for items made by other Survivors. 0
 
What a blissful life that was. 0
 
Unfortunately, that life had come to an end at some unknown point. The System could no longer provide any supplies. In the beginning, everyone was still completing missions, accumulating points, hoping for miracles to happen again on the Exchange List. 0
 
But those miracles shattered his dreams time and time again. 0
 
Now, perhaps it was time to wake up from this dream because there were no more good things left in this world. 0
 
Maybe. His hope truly felt completely shattered. He had no confidence left to live properly. 0
 
The entire world seemed to have turned into an enemy, crushing his last bit of hope. 0
 
Now, he could no longer drink water. He felt as if his body had lost all sensation, as if he could die at any moment. 0
 
This feeling was truly unbearable. 0
 
Suddenly, he sensed a sound rising. It was a sound that often appeared with the System. Perhaps it indicated that the System had completed an update? What had been updated this time? No one knew; it must have included something useful for warfare. 0
 
But they didn’t care; they couldn’t fight. The combat units had gone outside to gather food. All they could do was wait here for supplies to arrive, hoping to obtain something that would allow them to survive. 0
 
That was their greatest happiness. Unfortunately, happiness felt distinctly out of reach. 0
 
 
Now they truly felt as if they were hovering on the edge of death. 0
 
The young man gently opened the System update with his thoughts, his face filled with helplessness as he read the news. 0
 
The Donation System had been activated, allowing them to gain control by donating supplies. It sounded impressive, but in reality, it was just a trap. Who had the resources to control this Gathering Place? 0
 
This was essentially a blood transfusion for Qianyuan Village. He opened the Donation List and saw the requirements for donated items. 0
 
Everyday supplies offered the lowest rewards, followed by seasonings. Grain came next, while vegetables and meat provided the highest rewards. 0
 
It was simply a scam. They didn't even have enough food right now. Who would go out of their way to gather that much food? 0
 
In that moment, he instinctively opened the Exchange List. 0
 
Perhaps there were Big Shots who wanted this status. What if they could exchange a few dozen pounds of grain in the Exchange List? 0
 
That could mean survival. 0
 
Then he saw that the previously empty Exchange List suddenly displayed over a hundred pages, each page containing twenty types of items. 0
 
That meant there were over a hundred different items in total. 0
 
What an enormous quantity! As they looked at the numbers behind each item, their expressions began to tense up. 0
 
Each item had only a hundred pounds available. 0
 
The supply was limited; it was truly a case of too many wolves and too little meat. With so many people around, they were on the verge of madness from hunger. 0
 
Among the supplies, the most abundant items were those that could be eaten immediately after opening, and astonishingly, there were various types of porridge. Each type had a hundred pounds available—there were at least ten varieties—and they were all hot. 0
 
 
This was exactly what they needed. 0
 
There was nothing to hesitate about; after being hungry for so long, their stomachs needed to recover. Moreover, the value of this porridge was simply higher than that of other food items. 0
 
In an instant, many people found a bowl of porridge in their hands, served in plastic bowls. The porridge inside wasn't particularly hot; it was just warm enough to eat immediately. 0
 
Without thinking, he instinctively exchanged for ten bowls of porridge, then began to spend all his remaining points on storable food items. 0
 
He only managed to exchange for the bowls of porridge, but he had spent all his accumulated points on food. 0
 
He had to exchange; there was hardly anything else available. Now that the System offered these items, he had to grab them instantly, or he would be at a huge loss! 0
 
Many others were making the same moves as him, and numerous Superpowered Individuals began frantically purchasing supplies. 0
 
The resources were quickly running low, with only a few new items appearing sporadically. 0
 
This was Zheng Yifan's strategy. If they replenished everything directly, wouldn’t that make them feel invincible? It would inevitably lead to a stagnation in consumption later on. 0
 
Now, the market was suddenly revitalized; people had to consume all the supplies. They didn’t know when their points would become worthless again. (To be continued...) 0
