18 Floors Above the Apocalypse novel Chapter 161

These two were priceless treasures, but whether they were genuine or not, was up for debate.

Monkey was confident, "Miss, these are boss' most cherished items. When he got them, he couldn’t sleep for three days and nights."

He laughed even in his dreams, dreaming of the end of the natural disasters and transforming into a wealthy tycoon with billions in assets.

Unfortunately, as the apocalypse dragged on, his dreams shattered.

Although the authenticity was uncertain, Stella had no reason to refuse them since she had saved their lives. "Thanks."

Additionally, Monkey pulled out a brick from his bag, a gold bar wrapped in newspaper, weighing about two pounds. "This is also for you."

Stella was confused, "For me?"

"It was what the punks weregoing to use to buy water. I didn't expect them to dare to rob us."

The man was killed by Stella, so naturally, the gold belonged to her.

Stella was shocked, "The saltwater was this expensive?"

This statement upset Monkey, "You really have no idea what thirst feels like. Do you know how hard it is to get a truckload of water? The boss had to pull strings, give gifts, and it took several days to stock up, thinking we could make a little profit. But we didn't expect to be robbed."

From his words, Stella learned that those punks spoke fluent local language and was a regular customer with whom they had dealt numerous times. No one expected them to be wolves in sheep's clothing.

Monkey and his boss had almost lost their lives in this encounter.

Austin was very sincere, so Stella did not hesitate to accept everything, but she had a larger appetite, and wanted to make a bigger trade.

Favors aside, business was business.

Monkey was particularly professional, "We can exchange for antiques, gold, silver, and jewels. But what do you have to offer?"

"What do you want?"

Here we go again, this attitude. But Monkey was used to it, "That goes without saying, food or water. Gasoline is also in demand."

Food needed a growth period, and gasoline was even more precious, but water was easy for Stella to get.

She touched her nose, downplaying, "I have connections. I can get water."

Monkey's eyes sparkled, "How much can you get?"

Why didn't you say so earlier? So they didn’t have to go around fetching seawater for pennies.

Stella glanced at the water tank truck, and Monkey instantly understood. He thought so, Stella can do anything.

"Alright, alright, I'll go back and ask the boss. I'll give you an answer tomorrow."

Stella had no objections. She also needed to verify the authenticity of the painting and the antique.

So, she took half a bucket of seawater and went home.

She closed the door, took pictures of the two treasures with her phone, admired them a bit, then threw them into Arcadia.

Rare treasures, they were not so easily obtained. Stella didn't hold much hope, but Arcadia actually swallowed it.

She couldn't wait to check. Huh, The Garden had no changes. There were two more rooms on the third floor.

No, were they only worth this much? It seemed that Arcadia had no distinction of noble or cheap, but pursued the most primitive value of the item.

She threw in the two-pound gold bar, the third floor originally had only half a toilet, and it added about two square meters.
