Luck approached the dusty counter in the motel and flipped open the laptop.
"Okay, let's check out what overpriced stuff you're offering today."
The online marketplace appeared, and this time featured a special sale called.
"Black Friday."
He clicked on it and nearly cried from joy. Selected items were 50% off until the countdown ended.
Countless items sped past—furniture, food packages, defense gear, and even ready-to-install auto-turrets.
He purchased several guns while the sale was still on, but the highlight for him was the ammunition—some bullet was priced at just 1 EC. It was still pricey, but in comparison to the golden ones, it was a bargain.
Next, he filtered the list down to basics—beds, water supplies, light sources, and defenses.
Luck looked through the furniture section and chose ten metal bunk beds.
They were simple—sturdy frames, thin mattresses, and secure joints. They would serve their purpose.
