Apocalypse: Hero of Potato Fields

Inside the slave shop.

Lin Yi looked at his subordinates.

"...Have you all decided what to buy?"

"Yes! Boss!!"

This group of lustful men shouted in unison.

"Catwoman!" Piero shouted.

"Elf!" a soldier yelled.

"All of them!" Louis grinned.

"Alright, don't be too crazy. We don't need to buy them all, just those that are truly useful. Show me what you've picked first."

The group first went to the Catwoman area.

There were 92 cats here, all mature; otherwise, they wouldn't be put up for sale.

As Spider Woman had said, each cat came with a small metal container about the size of a Cuban cigar, which could be used to restore their breeding function.

But the key is, each box could only be used for the cat indicated on the container.

For example, the 1A-1602 container could only be used for the corresponding numbered cat.

Because of this reason, the price increased by 50 Coins, from 150 to 200 Coins.

Then, Lin Yi was led by the soldiers to a fenced area, filled with many short and thick trees with branches, and countless pretty girls.

The girls were lounging, running, and playing on those branches, almost entirely naked...

They replaced underwear with things made of vine and leaves, with some foliage decorations tied around their upper bodies.

"Why is only the lower body covered?"

"To maintain hygiene."

"They really do look like elves."

Lin Yi muttered to himself, carefully observing the figures of these forest maidens.

Malala was surprised.

"Elf?"

"Oh... They are popular fictional creatures in my world."

"Really?... These 'elves', as you see them, are agile, have flexible bodies, are skilled in jumping between branches, but a light touch could break their bones."

Malala walked to a shelf and picked up a booklet, handing it to Lin Yi.

"These are their care instructions."

"Hmm? Some positions are allowed, while others aren't? Hygiene... care... feeding... are they herbivores? Do they eat vegetables?"

"Yes, but they prefer leaves the most."

"What are we going to use them for then?"

Lin Yi turned around, looking at his excited subordinates, and asked glaringly.

At this moment, many warriors looked at the boss with pitiful eyes, pleading.

"Please, Boss! They're so cute, and can be amazing in bed... I mean, they're fast and agile, could be great for reconnaissance!"

"Alright, scouts jumping between branches? That's interesting. How much do they cost?"

"If you want them to be able to breed, each costs 200 Coins."

"Why so expensive?"

"Hey, this price is reasonable! It takes a long time for them to mature. Besides, I've spent 150 years cultivating them, improving their physique."

Spider Woman spoke in an aggrieved tone.

Lin Yi heard this, confused.

"Improved physique?"

"They used to be completely flat!"

Malala said, snapping her fingers three times.

The elves fell like apples from the trees, standing in a line.

As Lin Yi saw these girls up close, he finally understood why elf enthusiasts were so persistent.

They all had innocent faces, big eyes, and long pointed ears.

Slender bodies with a good figure.

At this time, they sized up the tall men standing before them with curious eyes.

"They have been properly trained, and they are all kind and adorable girls... I don't want to sell them to barbarians or uncivilized people who usually only cripple or kill these poor little creatures..."

"Are you trying to convince me to buy them all?"

Lin Yi squinted at Spider Woman's tearful eyes and said.

He didn't believe for a second that she truly cared about these elves' safety.

Once Malala realized her act had been exposed, she stopped pretending and hummed softly.

"Yes, I now have a new batch of younger elves, about ready. I need to get rid of these to make room."

"How many do you have here?"

"Exactly fifty."

"My soldiers like them, so let's buy them. Now, take me to see the next one..."

An hour later.

Lin Yi looked at his followers who came with him.

"Tell me why we need so many girls, hm?"

"They help us recover Magic Power faster!"

"They can boost troop morale."

"But it's not that useful. We have almost ten thousand soldiers now!"

"..."

All the men expressed their opinions, and Lin Yi found himself speechless in the end.

After buying the elves, he bought another fifty slaves of different races, finally satisfying them.

Malala smiled alluringly.

"I think you might be interested in... other kinds of commodities?"

"What, you want even more money?"

Lin Yi smiled and slowly reached out his hand towards her voluptuousness.

Spider Woman immediately jumped aside in panic.

"I was talking about skills and useful devices."

"Those you can definitely take a look at."

The team was led to another room filled with a variety of strange items.

There were some interesting things here.

Including contraceptive rings—if a woman wears one, she won't get pregnant.

Each contraceptive ring costs 30 Coins, so Lin Yi directly bought 200 of them.

There were also Beastmen and Transformation Skills for sale, but they targeted small, cute creatures like foxes.

Lin Yi wasn't interested, so he decided to stop there.

He had to hurry to the auction.

"You spent a total of 46,490 Coins."

Malala announced to Lin Yi in a businesslike manner.

Even though she was secretly pleased.

This was a very profitable transaction!

"Hmm... didn't you promise to give me a discount if we were alone together?"

"But you never agreed to the condition of being alone with me!"

"But we were indeed alone, weren't we? If you say we weren't, then we'll go now..."

"I'll give you a 5% discount! I must tell you, you almost exhausted me. This is the best discount I can offer. 44,160 Coins!"

"Alright." Lin Yi reached into his pocket and pulled out 45,000 Coins.

Malala was surprised he could conjure money out of thin air, but she accepted it and quickly gave him change.

Then she took out some documents and started filling them out.

As Lin Yi watched the satisfied Spider Woman, a not-so-pleasant thought suddenly crossed his mind.

"By the way!"

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

"I have to honestly ask you if you took my genes to impregnate your slaves with my children, right?"

"Absolutely not! Firstly, you need to know that no one is interested in mixed-race slaves. I only breed purebreds here. Secondly, that stuff would spoil quickly, so what you're saying is impossible."

"I'll believe you for now, but if I find you selling slaves with my genes... or of my race... I'll destroy the entire port."

Lin Yi said, staring coldly into Spider Woman's eyes.

Malala's heart couldn't help but race.

She had seen big scenes, and at first, she didn't believe him, but when she looked into his eyes and saw the confidence radiating from him, she felt a wave of nausea.

She instinctively stepped back half a step, trembling.

"Reputation is important enough to bankrupt me... I would never take such a risky move. Now... can I fill out a new form?"

Malala said, pulling out a new form and starting to fill it out.

She had accidentally torn up the old form.

Her alien writing was beautiful, resembling a combination of Egyptian and Chinese characters.

"Here are your documents. Everything you purchased will be delivered to your Ark within an hour."

Malala handed the documents to Lin Yi, then her eyes began to gleam.

"Also... since we're both going to the auction... would you escort me?"

"If you're willing to share some information about the auction, of course."

"Great! Please give me... ten minutes to make some arrangements and prepare, okay?"

Malala smiled sweetly, suddenly looking more like an ordinary young woman, and less like an arrogant and domineering slave trader.

Lin Yi nodded.

"Whether you're ready or not, I'm leaving in twenty minutes."

"I'll be back in ten minutes."

Malala led Lin Yi to the waiting room.

Then she herself descended to the basement.

She passed through a series of sturdy armored doors and entered a cavern, with a few dim lights barely dispelling the darkness on the walls.

The place was filled with spider webs.

She took off her clothes and crawled up to the ceiling along a spider web.

"You've all grown so big." Malala said as she patted her belly, then laid hundreds of tiny spider eggs.

These white little balls rolled down along the webs, gradually sticking to them.

Not a single one fell to the floor.

"I hope at least one of you can hatch, so my kind can be reborn... No! You must be born, do you hear?!"

She shouted, tears in her eyes as she looked at the multitude of eggs.

Every ten years, Malala goes into heat and seeks a strong male to fertilize her eggs.

But for centuries, none of her eggs had successfully hatched... they all died...

As the last member of her race, she had no way to find a suitable mate.

So she sought strong men from other races, but it was all in vain...

Hundreds of years ago, she was part of a group found on a fragment, then enslaved, used as a plaything, and eventually sold.

She was the only survivor of that group...

She didn't want to imagine others surviving somewhere, and all the men in her group were killed at the time...

That was so long ago.

Since then, Malala redeemed her freedom, opened this store, and began collecting slaves from every conceivable race to achieve her dream of reviving her species...

It might be impossible to realize, but it's the only thing that keeps her going!

"Alright, time to go!"

Malala leaped up, but before leaving, she cast a warm and hopeful glance at her unborn children.

She could feel that if nothing resulted this time, she might give up...
