Doomsday Roulette

“Is there anything else?”

Shasha looked at the dozen or so people gathered around the table and asked in a low voice.

After thinking for a moment, these people shook their heads and smiled, saying things like it was the same every month, that it was fair, and they had no objections.

“Big Sister Shasha, the supply of Evolution Potions coming down from above has decreased recently. Now that Boss Ye is a nine-star evolver, we shouldn’t be lacking in these, right? Could you talk to the higher-ups? Even if the quantity doesn’t increase, maintaining the original supply would be good,” someone suddenly stood up and said to Shasha with a hint of flattery.

As small organizations within the sphere of influence of Cloud Summit Villa, they were now more reliant on Cloud Summit. Under an increasingly完善 system, the more they contributed to Cloud Summit, the more benefits they could gain; the more they gained, the more they needed to give back.

This rule had become a consensus among everyone.

Compared to other forces in the apocalypse fighting for their lives, working within Cloud Summit’s sphere of influence, while still dangerous and requiring effort, at least ensured that every contribution would yield corresponding returns, and they would never return empty-handed.

Moreover, Cloud Summit provided them with hope.

Hope, while seeming ethereal, brought a power that anyone had to acknowledge.

Cloud Summit had always maintained an open attitude towards the people below. As long as they met many stringent conditions, they could aspire to be a member of the villa—this hope had become a lifelong dream for many.

Along with various rewards and benefits, it formed the ‘loyalty system’ towards Cloud Summit.

The low-priced purchase of Evolution Potions was one such benefit.

Normally, a bottle of Evolution Potion that required ten spins to obtain could be bought at Cloud Summit for thirty to eighty magic crystals depending on the level, with the higher levels being more expensive.

Although spinning the wheel was inherently a gamble, where one might get lucky on the first try, that was a rare occurrence. Most people typically needed at least five spins, with seven or eight being common, and over ten spins happening quite often.

In the long run, purchasing was definitely more reliable.

At this stage, many people had clearly felt that the supply of Evolution Potions from Cloud Summit had dwindled. Logically, they had no right to inquire about such matters, but this person had coincidentally promised several subordinates that he would help them purchase potions and pocket some profits, and now that he had received the money but no stock, he found it hard to explain.

Shasha’s gaze turned to this person’s face, making him shrink his head back in fear.

The woman before them was not ordinary. Centered around Cloud Summit Villa, the four major force regions—north, south, east, and west—were led by Shasha, one of the four titans on the periphery of Cloud Summit, commanding tens of thousands of warriors and equipped with a large number of high-end gear provided by Cloud Summit. She was a true master of life and death.

Offending her might result in becoming a rotten corpse lying in a sewage ditch by night.

“Cloud Summit obtaining cheap Evolution Potions is something we should be grateful for, and not a responsibility of theirs. You should understand that, right?”

Shasha’s voice was calm, as if chatting with a close friend, but to others, it sounded like the chilling wind of winter.

Rumor had it that this woman was Boss Ye’s bed partner. What was I thinking? Why did I ask this? The person thought regretfully.

“Y-Yes, I’m sorry... Big Sister Shasha...”

“Alright.” Shasha stood up, “If there’s nothing else, I’m leaving.”

After saying that, she left the room.

Outside, Shasha took a deep breath of fresh air and felt much better.

These men, each a leader of their own battle teams, with a few thousand to tens of thousands of subordinates, surely had some status in the apocalypse. Why couldn’t they just wash up regularly?
