Apocalyptic Disasters: Carrying a bun and hoarding supplies novel Chapter 43

Bai Meiyue had been ignoring this notification the entire day as she did not wish to make a decision carelessly.

[Would you like to use the ancient artefact to upgrade the Barter System?]

She read the notification word by word before asking in her mind, "What are the benefits of upgrading the Barter System?"

Don’t blame her for being wary. Though the Barter System was a good thing, it was too good to be true. Bai Meiyue had no desire to be caught in a mess that was similar to taking a loan from a loan shark. If this system was similar to such a messy organisation, then Bai Meiyue didn’t want it; she was quite happy with the current situation!

At first there was no response, which made Bai Meiyue wonder if she was ever going to get a reply but then a mechanical voice dinged in her head and she heard it say,

[There are many benefits for upgrading the Barter System, host.]

[Your current Barter level is Level 1, which means that you can only barter personal belongings or the belongings that are occupied by the other barter hosts.]

[However, if you were to upgrade your barter system, then this limitation will slowly be removed and you will be able to see much better barter requests. For example, if you were to raise your level to level 2, then you would be able to barter goods that are found in the black or thief market.]

[And if you succeed in levelling up to level three, then you can put your own barter request without the limitation that you have currently as a level 1 host and even chat with the rest of the hosts without entering the barter arena. At the third level you can also request the host to help you with their skills. Temporarily. ]

[At the fourth level you can buy livestock, slaves, and many more things that you cannot at the present first to third level.]

[The fifth level allows you to barter in bulk; that is to say that as long as you fulfil a certain request, then you can receive goods in bulk.]

[The last level is where you can use the collected points and barter with the system’s management itself. Many hosts have actually bartered off stars and islands. And in some cases they actually asked for a planet in exchange.]

The more Bai Meiyue listened to the mechanical voice in her head, the brighter her eyes became. A planet? If she could really exchange a planet, then wouldn’t her son be able to live a normal life?

Bai Meiyue suddenly became really excited as if she had been injected with chicken blood. She asked the system, "Then how am I supposed to upgrade the Barter System?"

[By exchanging precious artefacts, gold, or rare and unique objects that could be resold.]

[Once the host collects the desired number of points, she will be able to upgrade the barter system to the next level.]

Bai Meiyue almost immediately understood what the system was trying to tell her. While she could receive barter goods by exchanging goods with the same or lower value with other hosts, she needed to exchange rare goods with the barter system to collect enough points for the next upgrade.

There was no limitation when she was bartering with the system.

She thought about it a little and then exchanged the artefacts that she had received from the warehouse.

[Thank you for your patronage.]

[The cost of Artefact Bartered: Hundred million yuan.]
