Chapter 84 Still Not Enough
It turned out to be a pharmacist's formula!
Hiking Potion, William had heard of this before. In his previous life, it was a popular artificial potion that could be used for hunting or combat. It had effects like reducing fatigue and increasing stamina.
At that time, a master-level pharmacist's Hiking Potion could last an entire day. Increased endurance was said to make people feel like they had a new body.
Indeed, the Hiking Potion wasn't the top-tier artificial potion, so the formula wasn't top-tier either. But whether for personal use or trading, it was definitely a very practical formula.
The potion was good. Unfortunately, none of them were pharmacists so they couldn't learn it. William had to set it aside for now.
William then looked at the second item, which made his heart race at first glance.
"Space Crystal: Capacity 35 cubic feet," William said.
Was it space equipment?!
This was definitely top-tier equipment in the apocalypse!
Although it couldn't increase the owner's strength, space equipment was convenient.
Most people in the apocalypse lived nomadic lives. Even those in settlements didn't know when they might have to leave. So, what would they do with their accumulated belongings? Space equipment would make it much easier.
Moreover, space equipment had the property of preventing decay, meaning that items stored inside would remain as fresh as when they were put in, no matter how long they stayed in there.
This allowed for the storage of food and other perishable items. In his previous life, William knew some apocalypse merchants who specialized in selling luxury goods. They used space equipment to transport freshly made delicacies, fresh fruits and vegetables, fresh meat, and eggs—items that were expensive and highly sought after in the apocalypse.
With space equipment, one could store items that needed to be carried but shouldn't be seen by others. The more skilled a person was, the more they needed such equipment.
Although there were many benefits, William couldn't think of them all at the moment. But one thing was undeniable: the space equipment was definitely good stuff. Large space equipment was considered almost divine.
This Space Crystal was only the size of an egg and easy to carry. Although it only had 35 cubic feet of space, it was enough to store commonly used items like magic crystals, saving him the trouble of carrying a backpack and attracting unwanted attention.
He never expected to get a piece of space equipment. William knew how rare this item was, and its rarity made it extremely valuable.
The Monster Baby was truly a shortcut to wealth in the apocalypse.
Closing the box, William looked at Ivan and asked, "What's that card?"
"Summoning Card," Ivan's response was brief and somewhat dismissive.
Candice's face turned red. This card was something she had left with Ivan for safekeeping. But it was unbelievable that in just a few days, as a highly respected person, Ivan would refuse to return it for various reasons, clearly intending to keep it!
To Candice, although she and the others obtained these treasures, they belonged to William. From finding the treasures to seizing them, it was all part of William's plan. She had only completed the final step. Most of the credit should go to William.
Now, because one of her treasures was taken, Candice felt very ashamed and disappointed in Ivan. She couldn't understand how someone she respected so much could do such a thing.
Candice was too embarrassed to snatch it back, so she could only blush and blame herself for being useless.
William showed no dissatisfaction. He just nodded and stopped looking at Ivan. He said to Jacob, "These things can't be divided."
As Jacob's face changed upon hearing this, his subordinates slightly raised their guns, glaring at William.
"Brother, I don't understand what you mean," Jacob said.
I'm grateful that you saved our lives. But these things were obtained before you saved us. They have nothing to do with you. Naturally, there's no reason to share them with you," William said.
"You really know how to argue!" Jacob was so angry that his eyes twitched, exuding a hint of killing intent.
William waved his hand hinting for them to calm down. He patiently said, "Let me finish."
He pointed to the box in his arms and the card in Ivan's hand, saying, "Candice and the others obtained these treasures, so they own them. They don't have enough to share among themselves, so how can they share with you?"
"How about replacing them with something else?" William said calmly, his hand constantly stroking Pill's long hair.
'Did he replace it with something else?' Jacob sneered, thinking William was stalling. He coldly said, "Fine, let's see what you can offer!"
William had Natalie open his backpack and took out a bottle of liquid.
"Immunity Potion, it can prevent you from turning into zombies," William said.
Seeing this, everyone except the three women who had already been injected with the Immunity Potion, including Michelle, showed a look of desire.
No one wanted to turn into those mindless, disgusting monsters. The Immunity Potion could prevent that, making it hard for them not to be tempted.
Jacob licked his lips, thinking William indeed had good stuff. If he had known William's backpack contained this, he would have taken it earlier.
He greedily replied, "This is good, but not enough." At this point, Jacob realized there was more. He became even less easily satisfied.
William rummaged through his bag again and took out another vial of potion.
"One-Star Evolution Potion. After taking it, you can become a One-Star Evolver. As for what an Evolver is, I think you already know," William said.
If they were eager for the Immunity Potion, they were now extremely keen for the Evolution Potion.
No one was stupid. They knew the only way to survive in the apocalypse was to become an Evolver. But Evolution Potions were only available on the roulette. To get them, they needed to spin the roulette, which required a lot of magic crystals.
If they were lucky, a few dozen magic crystals might be enough. If not, it could take hundreds or even thousands. And that was assuming they had a safe roulette to spin.
This city might have thousands of roulettes scattered around. Finding one wasn't extremely difficult, but it wasn't easy either. Plus, the number of magic crystals needed to spin it made obtaining a One-Star Evolution Potion extremely difficult.
Now, with a ready-made Evolution Potion in front of them, what did it mean? It meant they could safely become Evolvers without fearing the virus-carrying zombies. It meant they could safely hunt zombies for magic crystals and get other good things from the roulette!
This Evolution Potion was like the capital for the wealthy to get rich in peaceful times!
Jacob's subordinates began to stir. They understood that whether they had saved William from Thomas or helped him these days, it was mostly for their benefit. If this incidental help could get them an Immunity Potion and an Evolution Potion, they would be making a huge profit!
They all looked at Jacob, waiting for the highest leader in command to agree after Caleb was killed by the Chain Prisoner.
But they heard Jacob say, "It's still not enough!"
