For the Twin Sisters, the happiest time of the day was always mealtime. In the cold winter days, they could never get enough of hot pot, and there was such an abundance of ingredients too.
Thinking back to before they had joined Xiao Jun's team, the two sisters had hidden in their house, surviving on a bag of potato chips, two slices of bread, two bags of spicy sticks and two milk teas for three to four days.
In comparison, their current life was simply heaven. Moreover, they did not need to go out killing zombies.
Today, after giving Sister Yue a massage, Sister Yue had rewarded her with a set of Chanel perfume which she had treasured for a long time before the apocalypse but had not been willing to buy.
"We'll have to think of other ways since we can't go outside the city in the future."
While eating, Jiang Yue suddenly came up with this sentence.
"What other ways?"
"Speculating."
Speculating — Xiao Jun also knew about it, and he had been making preparations all along, but now was not the time yet.
In his storage space, he had stocked up on a large quantity of table salt, chili sauce, and all kinds of seasonings. He had even stocked up thousands of jin of spicy sticks.
In the future, anything with flavor would become a valuable commodity.
Moreover, in this city, if there was no spicy flavor, everyone could still endure it for now, but after a couple of months when Future City became stable, they would become bestselling products.
Apart from these daily necessities that met bodily needs, he had also stocked up on a large quantity of cigarettes and alcohol.
These would all start skyrocketing after Future City completely stabilized.
But at present, it was not possible to speculate with them to sell at a profit.
"We definitely can't speculate with alcohol. Table salt and chili sauce don't hold much value now either, but cigarettes are different."
"Because of packaging issues, 80 percent of cigarettes were damaged after a rainfall. There are not as many cigarettes in Star City as imagined."
"It is only the storage rooms of large shopping malls and supermarkets where there might be some leftover."
"Moreover, at the present stage, space equipment itself is a rare item. No one will waste space to stock cigarettes. Most of the space has been used to stock water and food."
"Therefore, cigarettes can be tried."
Xiao Jun lit a cigarette. His fingers tapped lightly on the table without hurriedly agreeing.
After considering for a long time, Xiao Jun finally nodded.
"Alright."
To exit the city, sufficient strength was needed, and the source of strength was Mutated Crystals. Speculating with cigarettes was indeed the fastest way to make money.
"We only have around a week's time..."
"A week's time is enough."
Jiang Yue was full of confidence. She then looked towards the Twin Sisters.
"Right?"
The older sister, Jing Ru, had a confused look on her face.
"Sister Yue, no good. Although I majored in this in college, I only just finished my second year. I really can't do it."
Jiang Yue rolled her eyes and impatiently brushed her off.
"Can you give way? I'm asking your younger sister, why are you butting in?"
The older sister immediately obediently moved aside. As long as it did not involve her, things were good.
"Sister Yue, I'll... I'll try my best."
Jing Yi hesitated for a moment before nodding.
Jiang Yue smiled, satisfied.
"Before the apocalypse, their family ran a business. Jing Yi was smart since young and started helping in her father's company after entering college."
She explained to Xiao Jun. The idea to speculate with cigarettes today was initially casually brought up by Jing Yi.
Xiao Jun looked at Jing Yi in surprise. He did not expect this young lady was actually a businesswoman. He just did not know if her dealings were proper.
Then he looked towards Jing Ru and sighed, shaking his head.
They were birthed by the same parents and brought up in the same family, so why was there such a huge difference between them?
"Jing Yi, I'll give you 30,000 Mutated Crystals to operate with. Is that enough?"
Since he had decided, Xiao Jun would not equivocate.
"Enough, enough!"
30,000 Mutated Crystals. That was more than half of the entire team's first grade Mutated Crystal resources.
Jing Yi had not expected the team leader to actually give her such a huge amount of startup capital. Now, the pressure was on her.
But of course, the greater the capital foundation in speculation, the better. With a startup capital of 30,000, everything would become much simpler.
She believed that with this capital, she would definitely be able to raise the price of cigarettes within three days.
"Come up with a proposal tonight."
For this matter to succeed, it needed to be done properly and quickly. Time would not wait for anyone.
At most after ten to fifteen days, Xiao Jun had to gather at least ten front rowers with tenacious special abilities, then leave the city.
The pace of this apocalyptic world was too swift that even Xiao Jun as a reborn person felt time was somewhat insufficient.
Jing Yi nodded earnestly. The team leader trusted her so much. She would definitely work hard to produce results to prove herself, unlike her older sister who only thought about all kinds of nonsense all day.
One should first produce results to establish one's presence before thinking about those matters, just like Sister Yue...
"Jing Ru."
The twin sisters' older sister was happily watching the show while eating the roasted lamb meat she had just cooked in the hotpot. She did not expect the team leader to suddenly call out her name.
A huge mouthful of lamb meat had just been stuffed into her little mouth without even being blown on.
Her little mouth bulged huge as she kept blowing out air.
"Hot, hot, hot, hot, hot!!"
Li Jingyin who was beside her frantically passed her a can of coke to gulp down before she finally managed to swallow it. She looked at Xiao Jun innocently with her huge eyes.
Xiao Jun helplessly looked at her and waited for her to finish eating that mouthful before speaking.
"Go together with your younger sister. Fully listen to her arrangements. No causing trouble."
"Also, arrange for a few unfamiliar new young ladies to protect them. People shouldn't know it's our team speculating cigarettes."
Among Xiao Jun's entire team, only these two sister flowers had the least exposure. With them doing this matter, people would not suspect their team for the time being.
After earning money subsequently, whether others knew or not would be immaterial.
"Okay, Brother Jun, don't worry. I'll watch over my younger sister properly and make sure she completes the mission as soon as possible."
At this point, everyone at the table looked at her helplessly. With her attitude, how could she be the older sister?
However, no one dampened her enthusiasm. They still had to let her do something. If Jing Yi could not even handle her own older sister, in the future, the two of them might as well be obedient vases.
"Come, let's make a toast to Boss Jing's great success."
Seeing that everyone had finished discussing, Li Jingyin raised the beverage glass in her hand.
"To Boss Jing's great success!"

ave】 Shen Qingling was a man with peerless looks, a cunning mind, and the ability to play both the aloof noble and the innocent sweetheart—a master of seduction who could outplay any player. But after an untimely death, he found himself bound to a system and transmigrated into the tragic "true young master" of a melodramatic novel. In the original story, his childhood sweetheart treated him as a backup plan, his fiancée swore to break off their engagement for the sake of the "fake young master," and his own sister saw him as the family's disgrace. He was nothing more than a rat everyone wanted to stomp on. System 077: "Your mission is to change the original fate and conquer the goddesses." Shen Qingling: "Thanks for the invite. If seduction had tiers, I’d be max level." His childhood sweetheart knelt, begging for forgiveness: "Qingling, I was wrong. Please give me another chance." His ex-fiancée refused to marry anyone else: "Shen Qingling, I was blind before. In this life, I’ll marry no one but you." A yandere CEO went mad for love: "Shen Qingling, you can only like me. I’ll stop at nothing to make you mine!" His green-tea sister clung to him daily: "Brother, look at me, won’t you? I’m more obedient than them—I love you the most~" At first, they scorned and trampled on him. Later, they burned themselves like moths to a flame, all for his sake. His looks were his weapon, his sweet words the bait—heroines obsessed over him, villains turned to madness for him. Shen Qingling became a true male siren, igniting battlefield after battlefield of women fighting for his affection. Years later, when System 077—now one of the elites—was asked how to become as outstanding as it, it lazily exhaled a smoke ring and replied: "Just know how to cheer ‘666’ at the right time."
