88 - Spear Sales

  **Chapter 88: Selling Kevin**

  With the end of the pursuer mode, Chloe continued driving the RV, scavenging for supplies.

  Jason realized that, apart from himself, Chloe, and Kira, none of the other women on the RV knew how to drive.

  What if Jason, Chloe and Kira weren't on the RV? Wouldn't that mean no one could drive it?

  Since the group currently had no dedicated driver, Jason decided that all the women should take some time to learn how to drive.

  He wasn't asking them to be pro drivers, but at least be able to handle the RV if needed.

  So, Ellie and Lily went to the driver's seat to learn driving from Chloe.

  Kira and Jenna went to the kitchen to prepare a big dinner.

  Jason sat on the couch, with Tiffany on his left and Sophie on his right, guiding them on how to trade resources and develop informants.

  "Tiffany, you can find more people on the bus to help you sell items..."

  "Sophie, you need to find people to be your eyes and ears. You don't need them to do anything right now, just give them a couple pieces of jerky to build rapport..."

  Tiffany's face flushed as she nodded tightly in Jason's arms.

  It was the first time she had been held by a man, and she seemed nervous and uncomfortable.

  On the other hand, Sophie was quite relaxed in Jason's arms. If it wasn't for the slight blush on her face, you wouldn't have noticed anything was amiss.

  Following Jason's instructions, the two women started looking for informants and sales contacts in the Group Chat App.

  On a certain bus,

  Kevin opened the system and requested a serving of food for 3 Escape Coins.

  The market price for a loaf of bread was over 5 Escape Coins, so trying to buy a serving of food for 3 Escape Coins was practically impossible.

  But Kevin had only earned 3 Escape Coins from opening Bronze Chest today. He might earn another coin or two if he kept opening Bronze Chests before dark, but he couldn't wait that long.

  He was too hungry. If he couldn't get food, he might not even have the strength to get off the bus, let alone continue opening Bronze Chests.

  So Kevin decided to try his luck and see if anyone was willing to sell him some food.

  Kevin's request for food had been posted on the Group Chat App for ages, but hardly anyone paid attention.

  One person offered him two finger-sized pieces of Gray Wolf jerky.

  Another person offered him a half-eaten piece of bread.

  Neither the Gray Wolf jerky nor the half-eaten bread was much, but Kevin really didn't have any other options.

  He could only buy one to relieve his hunger for now.

  Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

  Just as Kevin was hesitating whether to get the jerky or the half-eaten bread, someone actually initiated a trade with him.

  Kevin opened it and was overjoyed. Someone was willing to sell him a loaf of bread for 3 Escape Coins.

  System transactions were legit, so Kevin, afraid the other party would cancel the trade, immediately accepted and quickly got a loaf of bread.

  Kevin didn't care about anything else and immediately started devouring the bread.

  It was best to eat any food on the bus as soon as possible, otherwise something unexpected might happen, like someone stealing it.

  Sure enough, a young woman on the bus immediately noticed that Kevin was eating bread.

  "Kevin... share a piece of bread with me, and I'll let you touch me, how about that?"

  The young woman slightly opened her jacket, her eyes fixed on the bread in Kevin's hand.

  If Kevin could earn a few Escape Coins from opening Bronze Chest, the women on the bus couldn't earn any resources even if they tried opening Bronze Chest.

  In this dog-eat-dog Escape World, women had to trade their bodies for food.

  Kevin paused his eating and subconsciously glanced at the white expanse of flesh in front of her, then shook his head.

  Soon, Kevin finished the loaf of bread, and the young woman could only despairingly sit back down.

  The gazes of some people on the bus also shifted away from Kevin.

  Kevin felt the gazes leaving him and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

  Then, Kevin took out a small piece of bread, which he had secretly hidden just now, and tossed it to the young woman when no one was paying attention.

  The young woman was stunned, looking at the small piece of bread in her hand, her eyes filled with tears of excitement. She quickly stuffed it into her mouth and looked at Kevin gratefully.

  Kevin shook his head at the young woman. He wasn't giving her food to take advantage of her.

  Losing a bite of bread wasn't a big deal to him.

  He just couldn't bear to see her starve to death.

  Kevin also had a beloved wife, and helping the young woman reminded him of his own wife.

  "That's right..." Kevin suddenly remembered that he had gotten a good deal by exchanging 3 Escape Coins for a loaf of bread.

  He had to thank the other person.

  So, Kevin opened the system and discovered that the person who sold him the bread was a young and pretty woman named Tiffany.

  Kevin wasn't stupid. The fact that she was willing to sell him bread for 3 Escape Coins meant she definitely wasn't on the bus.

  Tiffany was either a driver or a follower of a driver.

  So Kevin private messaged Tiffany to express his gratitude.

  After about a minute, Tiffany sent a message asking, "Are you on the bus?"

  Kevin naturally admitted it, his heart beating faster. Could it be... she wanted to recruit him?

  "Send a photo of yourself on the bus," Tiffany continued.

  Kevin immediately used the system to take two photos of the bus and sent them to Tiffany.

  But Kevin was soon disappointed. Tiffany didn't want to recruit him. She just wanted him to help sell some Wooden Spears, and he would get one Escape Coin for each Wooden Spear he sold.

  Kevin licked his lips. He didn't understand why Tiffany didn't sell the Wooden Spears herself, but he wouldn't pass up the opportunity to earn Escape Coins.

  So Kevin started selling Wooden Spears on the Group Chat App as Tiffany requested.

  Although Chloe had sold a lot of Wooden Spears before, Wooden Spears were easily damaged, so the demand was high.

  Also, many people on the bus had saved up enough Escape Coins to buy Wooden Spears to hunt Gray Wolf.

  Relying solely on opening Bronze Chest on the bus wasn't enough to feed everyone. Only by hunting Gray Wolf could they ensure that everyone on the bus got food.

  So there was no shortage of buyers for cheap weapons like Wooden Spears.

  Several people immediately asked Kevin to buy Wooden Spears, but Kevin didn't have any Wooden Spears in hand. He could only ask Tiffany for them first.

  Soon, Kevin had a Wooden Spear in his hand.

  Looking at the Wooden Spear in his hand, a trace of greed rose in Kevin's heart.

  At this moment, Tiffany sent him another message: "If you dare to pocket this Wooden Spear, I'll put a bounty on your head in the Group Chat App."

  Tiffany's message was extremely cold, as if she knew he was tempted to pocket the Wooden Spear.

  Kevin gulped, breaking out in a cold sweat.

  Tiffany could use just one Wooden Spear to put a bounty on his head in the Group Chat App, and someone on the bus would definitely attack him if they saw the bounty.

  No wonder she had asked him to send photos of the bus earlier, she was checking if he was really on the bus.

  Kevin quickly replied to Tiffany, saying he wouldn't dare, and then put away his petty thoughts. He immediately traded the Wooden Spear, received 20 Escape Coins, and then transferred them to Tiffany.

  After selling 5 Wooden Spears in a row, Tiffany gave him 5 Escape Coins, which was his share of selling the Wooden Spears.

  Looking at the 5 Escape Coins that belonged to him, Kevin was extremely excited and quickly thanked Tiffany.
