NOVEL WEB Chapter 120: Comparison
[Second time multiplication done. 10,000 rice packets have been multiplied 25 times.]
Ivy's eyes brightened, and she immediately posed her next question, "I want to multiply again."
[Processing… Error! Third time multiplication is not possible! Exception: Third time multiplication is possible if the owner does another kind of deed worth 2500KB.]
[Ding! Kind deeds detected… earned 100KB. Please do a kind deed worth 2400KB!]
The barrage of notifications sounded again and again till the number was achieved, and Ivy was able to trigger third-time multiplication. This time, the food supplies were only multiplied by 10.
After multiplying the rice packets for another time, Ivy realized the patterns. On the first multiplication, the items can be multiplied 50 times, on the second, the number reduces to 25 times, on the third multiplication, the number reduces to 10 times, and on the fourth, the number reduces to 5.
There was no further multiplication after that. Even the number of KB to be earned during each cycle of multiplication is reduced. From 10,000KB to 5000 KB to 2500KB and eventually 1250KB!
Anyhow, Ivy's primary concern now wasn't the number of KBs but the amount of rice packets she had. 900,000 packets of rice!
With an average of 0.5 kg of rice in each packet, she almost had 450,000kg of rice! Ahh! How nice!
Though she still doesn't have enough to purchase the solar panels completely, at least she could buy 250,000 solar panels and 250,000 solar generators!
She soon contacted Atlas and asked curiously, "Hey, what are the prices of solar panels and solar generators now?"
Maybe Atlas didn't have work or his marketing worked entirely digitally, hence Ivy received a reply within a few seconds: "The prices are reduced by half, Miss Ivy! If you have any friends who are interested in still buying the solar panels and solar generator, do let me know!"
Ivy raised an eyebrow and suddenly understood the logic. Prices of rice and salt had soared, due to which the prices of solar panels, which were originally marked at 1kg of rice and 1kg of salt, suddenly seemed pricey.
Though the rich had hoarded quite a huge amount of rice, no one knew the upcoming situation. Not to mention, she read some articles where it was claimed that many regions of Country U were flooded. Even the food ration of the country suffered, and only 30% or so was salvaged.
The rich who had hoarded a lot must have 450,000 kg of rice, but do they have the luxury to use it on solar panels? Absolutely not!
Now food was the currency, and with each passing time, it would become even more valuable. Compared to Ivy, who had an infinite source of food, others truly have to think twice before spending their money.
Without hesitation, she messaged Atlas and ordered 500,000 panels and 500,000 solar generators.
The order was so huge and the amount was so staggering that for a moment Atlas wondered if Ivy had mistake and asked if she had put zero properly.
Only when he received Ivy's confirmation did Atlas let the joy seep into his heart. Mommy! He almost thought that he wouldn't be able to survive!
With so many mouths to feed, he was ready to sell his solar panels and solar equipment for a mere 0.2 kg of rice, but this wealthy person actually agreed! He must have encountered a goddess of food!
This golden thigh… he refused to give up and, without hesitation, gave Ivy a discount and replied, "Since you are buying in bulk, I will give you an extra 10,000 solar panels and solar generators!"
Ivy stared at the message in surprise, before hearing the familiar notification in her mind with a complex expression.
[Ding! You have earned 300KB!]
Ugh… the world was truly good to her. Not only did she receive a cashback, but also got herself a discount and extra solar panels and solar generators.
Since the other party was the one who had initiated the discount, Ivy didn't reject and instead she thanked him, "Thank you, Boss Atlas. I will come by 11 o'clock in the morning, and no need to prepare a truck; I have awakened space superpower."
Reading the message, Atlas recalled the gorgeous beauty with cascading pink and icy demeanor and couldn't help but compare his daughter with her… ugh…
They say ignorance is bliss. As long as he didn't compare his daughter, his daughter looked very capable, but now… sigh!
His daughter: "..." What happened? Why was I dragged in between?
Atlas could only force himself not to think about his daughter's matters and turned his focus to Ivy, replying to her with an excited expression.
His wife, Elani, stared at him suspiciously and tried to sneak a peek, but to her dismay, Atlas shut his phone and stood up. Seeing her behind, he almost shouted in surprise.
Elani reacted quickly and covered his mouth with her hand. Atlas took a deep breath to calm his racing heart and almost scolded his wife.
"Who were you talking to?" Elani questioned, not wanting to be scolded. She knew her husband well. As long as she distracted him, he would forget the main matter.
Sure enough, Atlas looked at her excitedly, and when Elani stepped, she expected a reply, but he only gave her a mysterious stare, causing her to be irked as she asked, "What?"
But Atlas only left four words: "You will know tomorrow," and left.
Elani suddenly thought about the news her daughter was reading this morning, and her eyes narrowed in suspicion.
Just today morning, her daughter read how a businessman had pretended to surprise his wife, but in reality, he had plotted a murder along with his beautiful mistress.
Elani bit her lips and decided to secretly watch her husband's transaction tomorrow. She will kill them both before they can kill her (if there were a mistress!).
If Atlas knew that his wife had started to doubt him because of his daughter, he would have vomited blood.
Who needed an enemy when they have a daughter like his!
