Apocalypse: I Have A Multiplier System-Chapter 524: Mistake In The Plan

She collected dishes, copied recipes, and even "borrowed" a few secret ingredients by charming kitchen staff. Her bag was full of recipe scrolls and sealed food boxes.

Su Jiyai, the little blue wolf, worked the night shift.

Each night, a new team of bounty hunters came.

Each night, they placed down their 5 million star coins.

And each night, Su Jiyai acted all cute and clueless, only to trap them, hum them to sleep, and steal their coins.

By the end of day five, they had 25 million star coins.

But that wasn’t nearly enough.

That Night

Su Jiyai sat alone on top of the RV, staring at the stars.

[If I keep doing this... I won’t make it in time.]

She thought and thought.

Then... her eyes lit up.

[Wait a minute. What if... I don’t wait for them to come to me?]

..........................

That night, the stars sparkled above the RV like tiny diamonds in the sky.

Su Jiyai, the little blue wolf, sat on the rooftop, her tail curled around her paws as she waited patiently. Soon enough, the sound of footsteps echoed through the forest trail.

Qin Feng and Xi Ping returned, carrying bags full of ingredients and scrolls.

"We’re back!" Xi Ping called, stretching her arms.

Qin Feng looked tired but smiled. "Did anything happen while we were gone?"

Su Jiyai jumped down from the roof and landed with a soft thump. She looked at both of them with shining eyes.

[I have a new plan!] she said through the system, tail wagging.

"A new plan?" Qin Feng asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Don’t tell me it’s dangerous," Xi Ping muttered, already sensing something crazy.

[It’s not that dangerous,] Su Jiyai said with a cheeky grin. [Just a little tricky. But it’ll work. I promise.]

She explained everything.

When she finished talking, there was silence.

Xi Ping’s jaw dropped. "Are you serious?! That’s super risky!"

Qin Feng frowned. "Yeah... what if something goes wrong?"

Su Jiyai tilted her head and smiled.

[Nothing will go wrong. Trust me. I have trump cards.]

"Trump cards?" Xi Ping asked.

Su Jiyai nodded proudly. [Yup. Hidden skills.]

Both Qin Feng and Xi Ping looked at each other, then back at the little wolf.

"...You’ve been holding out on us," Qin Feng said with a smirk. freewebnoveℓ.com

Xi Ping laughed. "Alright, alright. Let’s do it. But I’m still gonna worry about you!"

Su Jiyai puffed her chest. [I’ll be fine!]

The Next Day

Two bounty hunters in long white robes walked through the forest toward a shady-looking outpost.

They were carrying a golden cage.

Inside it? A very calm, sleepy-looking blue wolf cub — Su Jiyai.

One of the robed hunters knocked on the wooden wall of the outpost.

"Delivery," he said with a flat voice.

The door creaked open.

A fat man with oily hair and sparkling rings stepped out.

His eyes lit up when he saw the cage.

"She’s real... the blue wolf cub!" he cried. "Hahaha! I’ll be rich! The princess will love her!"

He handed the hunters a glowing suitcase filled with shiny golden star coin bars.

"Here. One billion. Just as promised."

The robed men nodded, took the suitcase, and walked away without a word.

The fat man chuckled like a villain in a cheesy drama. "Driver! Take us to the royal city!"

The beast cart started moving. The man leaned close to the cage, eyes greedy.

"You’re gonna make me famous, little one," he whispered.

But then... Su Jiyai opened her eyes.

She looked at him with glowing blue pupils and made a small nod.

The man blinked. "Huh?"

He reached into the cage slowly, trying to touch her fur.

"I bet you’re soft—AHHHH!!"

Su Jiyai bit his finger hard.

Before he could even scream again, poof!

She vanished.

The cage door was still locked, but it was empty.

"She—She teleported?!"

The fat man yelled, clutching his bleeding finger.

"DRIVER! TURN AROUND!! THE WOLF ESCAPED!"

Meanwhile, Back at the RV

The two white-robed bounty hunters walked inside.

They looked around.

And then...

Fwoosh! With a shimmer of energy, they both transformed.

Xi Ping rubbed her face. "Ugh, that wig was so itchy."

Qin Feng stretched. "But it worked. Let’s see..."

He opened the glowing suitcase, and his eyes sparkled.

"Yep. That’s 1 billion star coins."

Just then—

Poof!

Blue sparkles appeared in the room.

Su Jiyai teleported in and landed on the table with a proud grin.

[Mission complete!]

Xi Ping clapped. "She did it!"

Qin Feng patted her head. "You’re amazing."

Su Jiyai wagged her tail happily.

[See? We didn’t even need to fight. We just needed to act.]

The three of them laughed.

They had just pulled off the greatest scam of the year.

No traps. No fighting.

Xi Ping stretched her arms and flopped on the couch with a grin. "That’s it, right? We’re done with scamming for now?"

Su Jiyai, sitting on the table like a proud blue puffball, blinked slowly.

[Done? This? This was just the beginning.]

Both Qin Feng and Xi Ping froze.

"...What do you mean ’just the beginning’?" Xi Ping asked suspiciously.

Su Jiyai stood up and puffed out her chest.

[We’re gonna take the real bounty now.]

Qin Feng raised an eyebrow. "The one from the princess?"

Su Jiyai nodded, her tail swaying confidently.

[Exactly. This time, we don’t just trick bounty hunters. We go straight to the top. We accept the bounty ourselves, hand me—Blue Wolf Cub—over, and in return, get something way more valuable than star coins.]

Xi Ping sat up straight. "More valuable than one billion coins?! What could that even be?!"

Su Jiyai’s eyes sparkled.

[Maybe land. An island. A sea. A hidden mine. Or maybe... royal favors.]

Qin Feng’s eyes widened as he slowly realized the scope of her idea.

"Su... this is huge."

Xi Ping blinked like she couldn’t believe it.

"You’re telling me we hand you over to the princess?! What if she locks you up forever?!"

Su Jiyai smiled mysteriously.

[That’s the trick. We don’t get caught forever. We just stay long enough to collect the rewards.]

Su Jiyai muttered, "If you weren’t Boss Su of the Hope Base, I’d say you were born to be a scammer..."

Su Jiyai rolled her eyes and looked away.

[Me? A scammer? I’m just... efficient.]

Qin Feng chuckled.

Xi Ping huffed. "Fine. But this time, I wanna see the plan."

[Nope,] Su Jiyai said, hopping down to the floor. [This one’s a secret. You’ll know when the time comes.]

A Few Days Later – The Royal Capital

The princess’s guards stood at the city gates, majestic and stiff like statues.

From the crowded road, two travelers appeared. One was tall and quiet, dressed in long black robes with a silver mask. The other was covered in soft purple robes, wearing a golden fox mask.

Between them, on a floating platform of glowing glass, was a silver cage.

Inside it sat the legendary blue wolf cub—Su Jiyai.

She looked weak, her ears drooping, her fur a little dusty. She didn’t move much.

One of the guards squinted. "Is that..."

"The bounty," the masked man said. His voice was calm and deep. "The Blue Wolf Cub."

The guards immediately bowed and called for backup.

A crystal carriage soon arrived, followed by trumpets and fanfare.

And out stepped the princess.

She wore a long white dress with silver gems and had an aura of nobility. Her eyes sparkled with greed when she saw the little wolf.

"She’s real..." she whispered. "Finally. I’ve been waiting so long."

She reached into her carriage and pulled out a glowing purple gem and a scroll with royal seals.

"This is the prize. One million star coins in cash and one deed to a private island with farming rights and a rare mana vein."

Even Qin Feng, behind his mask, sucked in a breath.

It was better than they hoped.

The trade was made.

The cage was handed over.

And the princess gently touched the top of the cage.

"Now, let’s take you to the palace."

But the moment she did—

ZAP!

The cage lit up with purple runes.

Su Jiyai flinched.

[What?!] she cried through the system. [Teleportation block?!]

The moment she tried to poof away, the energy circled her like chains, and the system gave a loud ding:

[Teleportation skill is blocked.]

Inside the Royal Palace

The princess walked proudly through golden halls, holding the cage like it was a trophy.

"Prepare a special room," she said. "And don’t let anyone near this cub. Not even the maids."

Su Jiyai was placed inside a massive glass chamber covered in rune patterns and ancient spells.

Guards stood outside with golden spears.

Inside, Su Jiyai stared at the glowing cage and muttered to herself:

[Okay, okay... I wasn’t expecting this. But I still have trump cards.]

She reached into her system and opened a hidden scroll.

It shimmered with golden light.

[Time to use... the Backup Escape Plan.]

She gently hummed a strange melody—one she had never used before.
