Apocalypse Descends: I Win Effortlessly by Turning Trash into Treasure

When Xavier Alden heard that gold, jade, and jewelry could be used as trade, his eyes lit up.

Although he wasn’t favored at home, outside, he was still addressed as Young Master Alden.

In short, money was the one thing he didn’t lack.

Moreover, since his mother was a world-famous, award-winning actress, his family had no shortage of jewelry either.

The problem now was whether that jewelry could be exchanged and how he would get it out.

As for how his mother would react afterward, Xavier Alden wasn’t worried at all. After all, he was her biological son. It wasn’t like his mom would beat him to death.

Besides, his lovesick dad doted on his wife. After Xavier was born, his father was so worried about his wife suffering again that he went and got a vasectomy.

Therefore, as the only child, Xavier Alden was quite fearless.

Moreover, he had already made up his mind to redeem a complete set of content cards for his mom.

Though not a first-wave player, as a third-wave player, Xavier Alden was still a certified veteran. Naturally, he had a few cards of his own.

And since the Happy Group’s ability was so useless, players didn’t even classify it as a White Card.

However, Xavier Alden had stockpiled quite a few of these cards to make his mom happy and coax some pocket money out of her.

Now that the owner of The Card Tavern had made this move, he was practically swimming in profits.

Thinking of this, he decided to come clean with his parents when he got back. That way, they wouldn’t be so shocked that people would laugh at them when he eventually revealed his identity.

If that really happened, he would definitely be the one to suffer in the end.

At this thought, Xavier Alden seemed to remember something and couldn’t help but shudder. He had no desire to experience the taste of a mixed-doubles beating from his parents.

Besides, Xavier Alden knew his father had inherited the bulk of his grandmother’s estate.

And his grandmother, in her lifetime, had a passion for all kinds of jadeite, gemstones, pearls, and agate that bordered on obsession.

’How am I going to pry these things out of my dad’s hands?’ he wondered.

Meanwhile, on the fifth floor, Perry Yates also learned of the situation on the first floor.

After a moment of thought, Perry Yates gave the butler an order. "Bring out the Super Gene Mutation Card as well."

After fusing with the card she had just Ascended, Perry Yates stretched languidly.

"It feels like the process of Ascending cards has gotten a lot faster this time."

Besides the high-quality, energy-rich food she brought back from the game this time, there was another very important reason: as she grew stronger, her Talent grew stronger with her.

"Put up one Super Gene Mutation Card. Set the exchange condition to top-tier ingredients, and they must be personally verified by me."

As Perry Yates’s collection of cards grew, bringing food out of the game was no longer enough to meet her needs, so she planned to look for some on Cerulea.

Recalling her discoveries in the game, Perry Yates figured the lackluster results of her previous experiments were due to poor-quality food, so she prepared to try again with high-grade ingredients.

Of course, to avoid failure, she decided to put out one Super Gene Mutation Card first to test the waters.

Meanwhile, after receiving Perry Yates’s order, the butler faced the frenzied players, raising a hand to signal for silence.

As a five-star card, the butler was surrounded by a mysterious aura that could subtly influence those around him, making them obey his commands.

Of course, this wasn’t compulsory; those affected would still resist if they sensed danger.

Once everyone had quieted down, the butler smiled and said at a leisurely pace, "Esteemed guests, please don’t be so hasty. I haven’t finished speaking.

This time, my master also acquired another type of card in the game. Although it’s single-use, it can awaken a special ability in a person—even an ordinary one."

When they saw the Super Gene Mutation Card, people weren’t very interested at first, but once they learned of its ability, the crowd erupted.

This was especially true for players who hadn’t fused with a card yet. With this card, they would already possess an ability within the game.

At the same time, they could plan better for their future, aiming for a higher-level first card.

"Butler, stop keeping us in suspense! How do we trade for this card?" someone asked impatiently.

"Brothers, do me a favor. I’m taking this Super Gene Mutation Card."

The speaker was a refined-looking man with long hair.

He appeared gentle and weak, but not a single person dared to underestimate him.

This was because he was not only one of the first-wave players from when the survival game descended, but also a Card Hunter with a fearsome reputation.

In the early days, when the game had just begun and most players chose to form groups, this man chose to be a lone wolf.

Few of those who formed groups back then are left, but he survived and even thrived, which was a testament to his formidable strength.

In fact, before now, this man had always held the title of number one in combat power in the survival game.

As for why "before," that was because the title had now been transferred to Perry Yates.

Although she was just a new player, regardless of her actual combat power, Perry Yates could simply crush the young man to death with the item cards in her hand.

Besides, would you really think someone who could casually customize four-star cards was weak?

However, at the moment, Perry Yates was still unaware of this new title of hers.

But back to the matter at hand. Seeing the young man’s declaration, the butler smiled and said, "Mr. Kane, please don’t be hasty. I haven’t finished speaking. The exchange method for this Super Gene Mutation Card is different from the previous cards."

With that, the butler looked out at the crowd and said, "My master has declared that this Super Gene Mutation Card can only be exchanged for food."

Food!

As soon as he said this, the crowd burst into an uproar. Food? Wasn’t that stuff everywhere?

However, some of the sharper people had already figured it out.

’How could the esteemed owner of The Card Tavern possibly be short on food? This food must not be anything ordinary.’

And indeed, in the next second, they heard the butler say, "This is not ordinary food, but high-grade ingredients. The higher the grade of the ingredients, the better. When the time comes, my master will perform the Identification personally. Whoever provides the best ingredients, in the greatest quantity, will receive the card."

Now, everyone understood the rules.

It wasn’t ordinary food, but high-grade ingredients. Not only did the quality have to be good, but the quantity had to be large as well.

Some of the people here had good ingredients, but providing a large quantity would be difficult.

Of course, this group did not include the people from the Survival Game Administration.

With the backing of the entire country, they would not be lacking in such things.
