Food Frenzy (4): Business Pivot is Fucking Hilarious lmao
> This is the meta, fr
> Wonder how these guys will react after Oasis... industry switch??
> Food cartels needed a shakeup anyway yeah yeah
> Fr, compared to Oasis they were saints but that stagnant water was rotten af;; System for the cleanup
> The wind of change itself lmao
“Pfft...”
I couldn’t stop laughing. I’d been curious how the folks in the same line of business would react. The merchants who’d monopolized the market were bound to foam at the mouth and flip out once I started selling. I’d even been bracing for another bloodbath like with Oasis.
But nope, no need for that anymore.
“Symbiosis though... yeah, fair play.”
A world where everyone eats well is good for me too. The economy out there has to churn for my wallet to fatten up.
> Total likable guy lmao
> Lmao [Juddak] straight-up advertising... not cool...
> Juddak-nim... just let it slide this once hehe... I’m doing this to feed my family...!
> [Juddak] ....Fine, just this once yeah
Folks even if shop stock goes to 700!! Love our mini rat meat!!!
> Yeah yeah true
> You set a precedent with Oasis lmao
Ah, survival ads are fair game
> System << straight disaster for merchants;;
> Gotta eat during a natural disaster lmao
> Gotta go try it sometime;;
Even Kim Sajang himself—or at least someone who looked like him—popped up to advertise. He seemed to have switched industries assuming stock would jump to 700 like with the water.
“Aigoo... no need for that...”
Just lower the price a bit and sell. It’d still move.
“Can’t bump up stock big this time...”
Tuna cans can’t be scaled like water. Why?
“Not enough of ’em...”
I roughly counted the tuna cans on my owned tiles—nowhere near 700. Processed food corners in a complex mall like this stock a ton of variety, not thousands of one item piled in the warehouse.
“Ballpark, just over 100?”
Only this size tuna anyway, and now I’ve only got a few left for myself. So I listed 100, couldn’t flood like with water.
Maybe it’d just quietly blow over, I thought.
I like stirring shit up, not actual fights.
Of course, that wasn’t why I held off listing the meat section goods I’d unlocked on a whim. If I can’t sweep magic stones with volume like water, selling high-price stuff makes sense.
“But I haven’t even tried ’em properly... sell these sight unseen...?”
Basic merchant rule: boss tastes first, sells what’s good. I don’t even know the taste yet. Can’t hawk what I don’t know.
Not like I’m gonna grill up some prime two-horned Hanwoo first for that Maillard reaction pop, then sell.
“For real, no.”
Plus, there’s an order to things.
I’ll buy it all I’ll buy it all
Kids all suddenly hit with tuna menthira syndrome...
> Fuck, you think it won’t hit???
> Tuna can...!!!
Invite my ass invite my ass
> Invite plz...
> When tf does membership cap increase...!!
> Do it now... Shop I know you see this...
> Plz invite
> Biggest request of my life...
Just listing one tuna and one water, and it explodes like this. No reason to rush meat first.
“Life and sales are all about timing.”
Sell at the right moment.
“Could gift it too.”
Send to Juddak later, get her to do stuff. Lots of reasons not to dump now.
Still time before members can buy.
“If it all sells... revenue around 18,000 stones...”
Tuna pricier but limited stock, total a bit lacking. But no, not selling like this.
Oh no.
“One more.”
I picked my fave snack and muttered.

The gallery went nuts over the new food listing too. Same time, Orange Zone frontlines, Pangyo North Fortress—screams erupted.
“Waaaaaah!!!!”
“Tuna cans!! Tuna and cup ramen!!!!”
A massive roar exploded outside the command post. Soldiers on the defensive line, checking the gallery window in midair, howling like beasts.
Tuna’s packed fat and pure protein. Cup ramen’s sodium and spicy broth. For troops dying on tire-like mutant meat daily, what could be more perfect and stimulating?
“Fuck! No one dies till I drink that broth today!!!”
“I’ll shred the zombie wave aaaah!!!!”
Captain Kim stared at his men cheering wildly, raising weapons, body trembling.
“Boil dirty water NOW!!!”
“Yes sir!!!”
They hadn’t even tasted it, but just seeing those junk food names skyrocketed morale to the heavens.
So Captain Kim muttered.
“System-nim... thanks to you, morale’s plenty boosted...”
Meanwhile, same time, Orange Zone 1st Relief Center.
“Director!! Tuna followed by another one!!”
“What now?!”
“C-cup ramen...! Saball Myeon just went up!!”
The nurse’s shout made Director Kang Seok-hyun stare blankly at the gallery window.
It’s real. Actual cup ramen.
“R-real... that cup ramen!!”
“The one we ate on night shifts!!!!!”
Probably the pre-apocalypse stuff. Tuna and spicy cup ramen. Pre-fall, as a doctor, he’d flip the table in horror. Sodium bomb instant tuna and spicy ramen for malnourished gut patients? License-revoking insanity.
But six months post-fall. No beast bone shards ripping guts, no mystery bug shells, no chemical toxins—just perfectly processed soft wheat noodles. Plus pure tuna protein and fat, uncontaminated.
Thick tears rolled down Director Kang’s rough cheeks.
“Tuna... and cup ramen...?”
“D-Director... y-you okay?”
Kang muttered in a trembling voice.
“In this world... it’s too healthy...”
