Apocalypse Descends: I Win Effortlessly by Turning Trash into Treasure

Perry Yates was, to say the least, quite excited about this discovery.

Some Deep Sea Cannibals even dropped several cards at once. Although they were all just White Cards, as the saying goes, it was better than nothing.

Perry Yates, who had been ready to just lie down and let things rot on Noah’s Ark, was suddenly jolted back to life.

Since there was no one else left in Solara, Perry Yates simply had Noah’s Ark stop flying in the sky. After all, even though the typhoon hadn’t arrived yet, the winds were already starting to pick up.

Besides, being in the water made it more convenient for her to operate.

Perry Yates made her way down to the lower hold. There were several large access hatches there. Of the supplies previously salvaged from the water, some of the soaked food items, like flour and rice, would be sent directly up to the deck. Meanwhile, things like high-end tobacco and alcohol were brought into the hold through these hatches.

She opened one of the hatches, and her eyes were met with the calm surface of the sea.

A protective shield surrounded Noah’s Ark, so the Deep Sea Cannibals outside couldn’t get close at all.

In fact, Perry Yates could even jump out for a swim right now without any problem.

But this presented a problem.

Her current position was about a hundred meters from the edge of the protective shield.

Although she could hunt Deep Sea Cannibals using Water Lotus, it wasn’t an offensive card, after all.

’Besides, I plan to share this with the other players.’

’Only by helping the other players get more cards will more people patronize my Card Tavern.’

With this in mind, Perry Yates suddenly noticed the various goods piled up in the hold nearby.

Besides food and drink, there were all sorts of supplies, including boats. In fact, when she had integrated Noah’s Ark, Perry Yates had also equipped it with a number of vessels—over two hundred in total.

Perry Yates tested her range from inside the hold. A distance of one hundred meters was manageable for her; it wasn’t too far.

Although the Deep Sea Cannibals were covered from head to toe in hard scales, they had one weak point: their eyes.

Using the vines from her Thorny Rose, Perry Yates could instantly pierce a Deep Sea Cannibal’s eye, achieving a near one-hit kill.

Besides the eyes, she could also attack the Deep Sea Cannibals from the inside.

This was the experience Perry Yates had gained after hunting continuously for over ten minutes.

In just over ten minutes, she had already reaped a harvest of more than twenty cards.

Of course, a major reason for her success was that Perry Yates had mastered the hunting method; others might not have such a large haul at the beginning. After some thought, Perry Yates set up a supply exchange point inside the hold. Cards could be used to trade for various rare supplies, food, clothes, medicine, and even cabin upgrade services.

Of course, this was mainly aimed at the NPCs from the game, since cards were of little use in their hands. As for the players, they could do as they pleased.

From the players, Perry Yates mainly intended to earn money by renting out boats.

Once everything was ready, Perry Yates posted the announcement she had written.

[Dear Passengers:

As the number of Deep Sea Cannibals in the surrounding area continues to grow, and to ensure we can maintain a safe living environment, it is everyone’s responsibility to protect Noah’s Ark. A new mission is now being issued: Defend Noah’s Ark by hunting the Deep Sea Cannibals.

Noah’s Ark will provide boats and weapons for a fee. Any cards dropped from the hunt can be exchanged for any item—including cabin upgrades—at any exchange point on Noah’s Ark.]

The moment this announcement was posted, it caused quite a stir.

Everyone had witnessed the power of the Deep Sea Cannibals; reinforced concrete was like tofu in their jaws. As a result, many were unwilling to get involved in this mess.

For them, having something to eat and drink every day was enough. Even if they couldn’t eat their fill, they were content and unwilling to risk their lives.

Of course, besides this group, there were also many NPCs whose eyes were filled with ambition.

They might not care about food and such, but they wanted to upgrade their cabins.

They had heard that those who originally bought second-class tickets could eat their fill every day and had soft beds to sleep on.

The lives of those who bought first-class tickets were even said to be a world of luxury and decadence.

If the NPCs were like this, the players were even more so.

Sylas Sawyer, who had lost his freedom, was currently in a meeting room discussing this very matter.

Speaking of losing his freedom, Sylas Sawyer had taken it quite well.

The reason he had lost so badly back then was partly due to a fit of pique after a losing streak, but there was also an element of intention behind it.

"Knowing the boss, she probably discovered this a long time ago," Sylas Sawyer said. "Telling us now just means she wants us to work for her."

"After all, The Card Tavern can create custom cards, but it requires a payment of other cards—cards that ordinary players certainly can’t afford to part with."

"This severely limits the number of people who can order custom cards. Most people still opt for same-level exchanges, which isn’t great for the tavern owner."

"After all, if fewer people order custom cards, her own income will decrease."

As Sylas Sawyer finished speaking, everyone present fell silent, because they knew it was true.

But so what?

Even knowing this, they had no choice but to go. They needed cards, too.

Especially after witnessing the insane power of Sylas Sawyer’s four-star card, they were filled with longing for custom cards of their own.

In no time, large numbers of ordinary NPCs and players began flocking to the lower hold.

A sign detailing the rules and guidelines was placed in the most conspicuous spot.

There were two ways to hunt Deep Sea Cannibals. The first was from within the hold, with weapons provided by Noah’s Ark. If a hunt was successful, the dropped cards would be retrieved for them. However, at the end of one hour, fifty percent of the cards obtained would be deducted as payment.

The second method was to rent a small boat and go out to sea.

The sign specifically noted that the area within a one-hundred-meter radius of Noah’s Ark was safe for free movement.

However, the price to rent a boat was ten cards per hour.

In addition, next to the sign, in the most prominent position, were several glass display cases filled with a dazzling array of prizes.

To further stimulate "consumption," Perry Yates had even put out Health Cards, Life Span Cards, Life Cards, Beauty Care Cards, and Physical Constitution Cards.

These cards could be used not only by players but by ordinary people as well.

The Life Span Card, in particular, could directly increase one’s life by three years, making it even more potent than a Life Card.

However, the Life Card had one feature that the Life Span Card lacked.

Although the Life Card increased one’s life span by less, its primary ability was to restore the body’s Life Force.
