To get rich, build roads first? No, Wang Bin has a better way to get rich: go to the apocalypse and move gold bricks. One trip there and back and he'll easily become a billionaire!
That...
Because of this zombie horde, everyone has a lot more magic cores than before, so magic cores are not as valuable as they used to be.
Wang Bin set the price so low not only to make a little money from magic cores, but also because he wanted more people to come to him to buy things so they could see their videos.
Seeing that the effect was good, Wang Bin simply redeemed a large video in the system's store and had it installed on the store's signboard.
Just as the large video was being installed, more and more customers came in. Everyone happily bought various kinds of grains, and many people chose to watch the video in the store after purchasing their items, making the store crowded in no time.
With no other option, Wang Bin had to have the customers who had purchased items invited outside to watch the large video.
When everyone heard that there was a big video to watch outside, they all rushed out to grab a good spot to watch.
Before long, the large video was installed. When the video started playing, everyone was stunned. They never expected that such a paradise could exist in the apocalypse.
When they saw Wang Bin and his men fight in the valley, and how they managed to hold off an attack of more than ten million zombies with only about 100,000 men, they were all very surprised. They marveled at the strength of Wang Bin and his men, as well as their unity.
Then, when they saw that the three major island families, led by the Zhao family, had united 150,000 people to attack Wangyue Peak, which only had 90,000 people, everyone was worried about Wangyue Peak. But when they saw that Wang Bin had eliminated more than 10,000 of the enemy without losing a single soldier, they all clapped and praised him.
After seeing the Qian family and other major families wiped out, they all excitedly shouted, "Good riddance!"
With the accompanying text on the video and a man's narration, everyone knew the whole story, and everyone felt disgusted by this family that abandoned the lower class and ran away.
After seeing that Wang Bin and his group had actually killed a King-level zombie on the three islands, they were convinced of Wang Bin's strength. At this point, they realized that the rumors about Wang Bin were not false at all.
Seeing the scale of development at Wangyue Peak and the fertile farmland that has been developed at its foot, everyone is filled with longing and wishes they could fly there now and become a part of it.
When they heard that everyone could sign up to join Wangwangyue Peak, they were all excited to fill out the forms.
At this moment, Wang Bin suddenly had an idea and stepped forward, saying, "Everyone, don't be anxious. Although Wangyue Peak is open to the public, we also have strict laws and regulations. The punishment for adultery and theft is particularly severe. Anyone caught doing so will be executed! As for bullying the weak, anyone caught doing so will be punished with ten to one hundred lashes, depending on the circumstances. So, people with these kinds of problems are better off not coming to Wangyue Peak!"
These people also saw from the video that Wang Bin was the king of Wangyue Peak and the ruler there. They all listened attentively, and when they heard that they could not stay at Wangyue Peak, they became even more excited.
This is a good thing. Without these scumbags, everyone will be happier.
Moreover, judging from the video, Wangyue Peak is quite fair in selecting officials, with everyone rising to their positions based on their merits.
So these people excitedly rushed towards Wang Bin, all wanting to get their registration forms from him.
"Please be quiet, everyone. This is a commercial area. If you all gather here like this, it will block the road and affect the business of other shops. Anyone who wants to register can go to the former Black Dog Gang's headquarters tomorrow. Thank you for your cooperation!"
"Okay, we'll do as you say and go register tomorrow!"
Upon hearing this, these people thought that King Wang Bin was a good man and would consider the interests of other businesses.
The video kept playing, and more and more people learned about it, and more and more people came to watch.
Wang Bin and the others stood aside watching the exciting scene, and they all smiled, knowing that the deal had been done.
This matter quickly reached the ears of the bigwigs of various forces in Haidu. Their attitudes toward Wang Bin's behavior varied. Many small forces also longed for Wang Bin's Wangyue Peak. However, some large forces saw the crux of the problem: what if all the free survivors in Haidu went to Wang Bin's Wangyue Peak?
Several powerful figures secretly gathered to discuss the matter. Some suggested following Wang Bin to Wangyue Peak, while others said they should target or sabotage Wang Bin's plan and prevent it from succeeding.
However, many people were used to being local tyrants and did not want to become Wang Bin's subjects, so the proposal was quickly rejected.
Those who dared to attack Wang Bin were quickly thwarted. What a joke! Wang Bin's two concubines were both King-level superhumans, and there were also powerful elite superhumans like A Bao. Anyone who dared to attack Wang Bin would be courting death.
However, sabotaging secretly is something worth trying. After all, as long as it's done discreetly, Wang Bin won't know it was them who did it.
But when it came to deciding how to do it and who to assign, everyone started passing the buck, with no one willing to take the lead.
If Wang Bin were to find out, his entire clan could be wiped out, given his power. The risk is too great, and no one is willing to be the first to act. So, the matter can only be put on hold for now, and we'll have to see how things develop before making any further discussions.
The next day, Wang Bin brought Guan Xiaoyue and ten others to the city center to open a shop. As soon as they arrived, many people came to buy supplies. Wang Bin was quite helpless looking at the chaotic crowd, so he had people organize everyone to line up before coming in to make purchases.
Due to the strength of Wang Bin and Guan Xiaoyue, these people had no choice but to line up again.
Wang Bin did not implement the purchase limit at the Haidu store because he had enough resources in his system space to exchange for them all, and he did not plan to stay here for long; he just wanted to make a quick buck and leave.
As long as he takes in most of the magic cores of the idle survivors here, even if some survivors do not follow him back to Wangyue Peak, the magic cores here will become relatively scarce, and other forces will not be able to recklessly squander magic cores to improve their superpower levels.
To prevent anyone from sabotaging the place at night, all the supplies were stored in the system space when we returned. Only after everyone had arranged the goods were we allowed to enter.
Wang Bin dispatched a team of over 300 people early in the morning, but the surrounding food shops that also sold food fared much worse, with no one buying from them at all.
The reason is simple: these people's shops are not only expensive, but also of very poor quality. There is sand in the rice and insects in the flour, which they call "adding extra food".
Most of these shops were run by other factions. The idle survivors didn't dare to fight against these people, so they could only buy rice and flour and clean them up themselves.
The shop owners and their employees all looked worried and sullen as they stared at the customers queuing outside Wang Bin's shop.
Since the news of Wang Bin opening his shop spread yesterday afternoon, they haven't had a single customer. This is causing them a lot of worry; they don't know how to explain themselves to their superiors if they can't meet their targets.
