Apocalypse Descends: I Win Effortlessly by Turning Trash into Treasure

These were still the more normal ones.

Beyond those, there was the Ice Skin Card. Using it would make one’s skin become smooth and delicate, like the finest jade, with no side effects.

The Jade Bone Card: Using it would perfect one’s bone structure, with no side effects.

The Hair Growth Card: It could restore a full head of thick, black hair regardless of the cause of hair loss, with no side effects.

The Beauty Care Card: It could enhance one’s appearance after use, with no side effects.

The Height Increasing Card: Increase one’s height by five centimeters, with no side effects.

These were actually still acceptable. They would probably be a huge hit with women if she ever decided to sell them.

But were the Breast Enhancement Card, Butt Lifting Card, Water Snake Waist Card, High Nose Bridge card, Smiling Lips card, Pearl Foot Card, and Xi Zi Card really necessary?

Perry Yates looked at the cards spread out before her, unsure if she should be happy or sad.

She was happy because these cards would likely be extremely popular with women, and they could be used by ordinary people, not just players.

She was sad because these Beauty Cards were obviously not as valuable as the Health Cards and Life Cards.

’Sigh. Might as well accept it. At least having these is better than nothing.’

Perry Yates consoled herself.

She took out a piece of fruit she had bought at the supermarket, washed it, and just before taking a bite, she subconsciously used Ascension on it.

Ascension allowed her to get information about an item, but since this was just an apple—its only unique quality being that it looked a little redder than others—she skipped reading the details.

CRUNCH.

Taking a large bite, Perry Yates’s cheeks puffed out as she chewed.

But the more she chewed, the more she felt something was off. Her chewing slowed.

After swallowing the mouthful of apple, Perry Yates took another uncertain bite.

’It’s confirmed. This fruit I bought is just like the wild fruit from the Deformed Jungle. After Ascension, it also restores energy.’

’In fact, the effect is even better than the fruit from the Deformed Jungle.’

Following that, she took out another apple and used Ascension on it.

[High-Quality Apple: Crisp and sweet. Consumption restores a large amount of personal energy and has a skin-whitening and beautifying effect.]

Having confirmed her suspicion, Perry Yates took out one of the ordinary apples she had bought previously and used Ascension on it.

[Delicious Apple]

And that was it!

’It seems not all apples can restore energy.’

’Could it be that my earlier experiments on Cerulea failed because the ingredients weren’t high-grade enough?’

’I’ll have to experiment properly when I get back.

But for now...’ Perry Yates tried some other foods. Without exception, all of them could restore energy and even had other effects.

For example, the fruits and honey had beautifying effects, and the meat was a source of protein.

She didn’t know about any others, because she hadn’t bought anything else.

’It looks like I’ll need to pay another visit to that supermarket.’

Coincidentally, while she was looking for trash cans earlier, she’d located the supermarket’s warehouse.

’If I go tonight, maybe the supermarket will get one more shipment before the disaster fully breaks out.’

With that, Perry Yates decided on her plan for the night.

Just then, the blade of grass Perry Yates had left on the beach sensed Una Lynch’s presence again.

A moment later, she appeared nearby.

When Una Lynch saw Perry Yates appear, a happy smile immediately spread across her face.

"You’re always popping up out of nowhere."

Perry Yates just smiled, avoiding the question. Instead, she asked, "How many cards did you collect today?"

Hearing Perry Yates’s question, Una Lynch couldn’t hide her grin. "I collected more cards today than the last two times, a whole five hundred of them!"

A flicker of surprise showed in Perry Yates’s eyes.

"That many?"

’It made sense that the first two batches were large, since they were probably an accumulated stockpile. But to get so many again today...’

Una Lynch nodded and said,

"Today, the dean of students at my school did a surprise inspection and confiscated all contraband, including these cards. After school, I secretly followed the principal and saw him throw all the cards into a trash can.

So I waited for him to leave, and then I went and picked them all up."

As she said this, Una Lynch beamed, thinking herself incredibly clever. ’It was no different from finding free money!’

Listening to Una Lynch, Perry Yates had to agree she was incredibly lucky.

After paying her, the two went their separate ways again.

Back in her Safe House, Perry Yates eagerly took out all the cards. ’There’s no way they’re all White Cards again this time,’ she thought.

However, after checking every single card, Perry Yates discovered they were, once again, all White Cards. To make matters worse, over three hundred of them were for Happy Group.

Seeing this, how could Perry Yates not realize what had happened? Someone had beaten her to the punch.

’Or maybe,’ she considered, ’a player was manipulating this whole thing from the beginning.’

After putting the cards away, Perry Yates didn’t start the Ascension process as she usually would. The sky was already growing dark, and she had other plans for the evening.

Once night fell, Perry Yates sent her Moon Avatar to the supermarket.

Seeing that the supermarket was closed, she breathed a sigh of relief. ’Good thing it’s not a 24-hour store, or I’d have to go through the trouble of knocking out the staff and customers.’

Perry Yates activated Invisibility and used her Any Door to enter the supermarket smoothly.

Since her goal this time was food, Perry Yates headed straight for the food aisles without a moment’s hesitation.

Once in the food section, she didn’t waste any time. Perry Yates grabbed everything and anything that was edible.

Twenty minutes later, after confirming she had emptied the main food aisles, Perry Yates moved on to the produce section, then the grains and cereals, various supplements, and even the frozen foods.

After clearing out the entire supermarket, Perry Yates paid a visit to the warehouse.

After slipping past the guard, Perry Yates entered the warehouse with ease.

By the time she had finished looting all the food from the warehouse, it was the middle of the night.

The rain outside hadn’t stopped; in fact, it was coming down even harder.

Perry Yates didn’t linger outside. Once she was done, she immediately dispelled the Moon Avatar.

Back in the Safe House, Perry Yates looked at all the food piled high in her inventory space, the corners of her mouth twitching into an uncontrollable smile.

A dreamless night passed.

The next morning, Perry Yates got up early and drew another tally mark in the notebook she was using to keep track of the days.
