Apocalypse Descends: I Win Effortlessly by Turning Trash into Treasure

Sylas Sawyer and the others stared wide-eyed at the dazzling array of cards.

One of them asked in an uncertain tone, "You guys think these cards are real?"

"What do you think?" Sylas Sawyer shot the man a look.

Someone who could casually produce a five-star item card with a wave of their hand, saving not just all the players but even the NPCs on a whim, wouldn’t joke about something like this.

After speaking, Sylas Sawyer’s gaze fell upon the Life Span Card, and he couldn’t bring himself to look away.

On the eighteenth day of the game, the torrential rain continued to fall, but it did nothing to dampen the group’s enthusiasm for hunting Deep Sea Cannibals.

And now that they had experience, their hunting had become much more efficient.

This was especially true for the players. With their various abilities, once they mastered the hunting techniques, they could harvest up to a hundred cards a day.

This was no exaggeration.

Having failed to find food elsewhere, the Deep Sea Cannibals were already ravenous. When they suddenly saw so many humans appear, they swarmed madly toward them, constantly attacking the protective shield, desperate to devour the people inside.

But how could the shield of Noah’s Ark be something they could easily break through?

And so, a peculiar scene was born.

All around Noah’s Ark, various boats were gathered, and the atmosphere between everyone was quite amicable.

Outside the shield, the rain poured down and the wind howled. Countless Deep Sea Cannibals surrounded the shield layer after layer, their eyes filled with a greedy hunger for food, only to be easily hunted by the people inside.

Most of the drops were useless White Cards, predominantly Happy Group and Water Element Cards.

Consequently, most players chose to exchange these cards for others, like the Health Card.

One hundred White Cards could be exchanged for a single Health Card.

Now that everyone had more cards on hand, a hundred of them no longer felt expensive.

Besides, you get what you pay for. This was three years of life, after all.

In addition to the Life Span Card, the Space Backpack Card was also a bestseller.

「Meanwhile, in the cockpit.」

Perry Yates looked at the cards she was receiving and couldn’t help but beam with joy.

’Telling the other players was definitely the right move,’ she thought. ’This is so much faster than hunting Deep Sea Cannibals all by myself.’

However, Perry Yates wasn’t idle in the cockpit. Besides constantly Ascending cards, she was also monitoring the developing super typhoon and the activity on the seabed.

For now, the seabed was relatively calm, aside from the growing number of Deep Sea Cannibals congregating below.

’But...’

’Isn’t this number a little too high?’

Perry Yates looked at the monitor. In addition to the ones visible on the surface, a large number had also gathered beneath Noah’s Ark, constantly attacking the shield with their sharp teeth.

Moreover, it was obvious that these underwater Deep Sea Cannibals were at least twice the size of those on the surface, if not larger.

’If the ones on the surface are mobs,’ she thought, ’then these must be the elites.’

Naturally, Perry Yates wasn’t about to let them get away.

Perry Yates opened a panel beside her, revealing a row of multi-colored buttons.

She scanned them for a moment before finally pressing a yellow one.

As she pressed the button, an opening suddenly appeared on the bottom of Noah’s Ark. Immediately after, two small fish, each about thirty centimeters long, swam out and headed beyond the protective shield.

Because the Deep Sea Cannibals didn’t attack other creatures when humans were present, the two small fish smoothly reached the most concentrated part of the school.

The next second... BOOM!

Like a pair of missiles, the two small fish exploded simultaneously.

In an instant, the entire surrounding school of fish was blown to bits.

Bomb Fish. This was something Perry Yates had created by fusing and Ascending a Bomb Card with a School of Fish Card. As a three-star card, its explosive power was no less than that of a torpedo.

She collected all the cards that dropped.

’Not bad,’ she thought. ’Mostly one-star cards this time, but there’s also a two-star Iron Armor card—a Metal Attribute Defense Card.’

After repeating this a few more times, Perry Yates finally stopped once the fish beneath the vessel were more or less cleared out.

There were still some Deep Sea Cannibals underwater, but not enough to be worth using more Bomb Fish. It would be a waste.

In addition to the Deep Sea Cannibals, Perry Yates also used Noah’s Ark’s detection systems to find several other schools of fish.

After using Identification and confirming they were edible, Perry Yates caught all of them.

’Can’t be helped,’ she mused. ’With so many mouths to feed on this ship, even a single meal is an astronomical expense, let alone the daily cost. Like I always say, waste not, want not.’

「Elsewhere on Noah’s Ark.」

Even though the storm still raged outside, many people wore happy smiles. This was likely because their lives now had a sense of hope; they were using the cards they’d earned to exchange for various supplies and those amazing cards.

After experiencing the wonders of those cards, they were more convinced than ever that Noah’s Ark was a divine vessel. Even its captain, Perry Yates, was becoming deified.

On the nineteenth day of the game, the downpour continued, and the super typhoon was drawing closer. It was expected to arrive the next day.

To prevent any accidents, Perry Yates decided to suspend the Deep Sea Cannibal hunt for the next day and assess the situation.

Just as Perry Yates was thinking about other matters, she accidentally infused too much energy into the card in her hand.

’Ah, what a waste!’

Perry Yates’s heart ached at the loss. The energy she had just used was enough to Ascend several one-star cards.

When the light faded, Perry Yates looked at the card in her hand. It wasn’t a Health Card or any other card she had seen before, but a completely new one: [Super Gene Mutation Card].

’What kind of card is this?’

At first, Perry Yates thought this card was like the Genetic Potion, something that strengthened the body through genetic enhancement.

But after she inspected it, she found that wasn’t the case.

[Super Gene Mutation Card: Upon use, the user’s genes will randomly mutate, granting them a supernatural ability.]

After reading the description, Perry Yates’s mouth formed an "O" shape. ’Isn’t this basically the same as the Talents players awaken when they first enter the game?’

Most importantly, this was a card that even an ordinary person could use.

She could already imagine the sensation it would cause if this card were brought back to the real world, especially among ordinary people.

After all, no one ever knew when they might suddenly be dragged into the game.
