Infinite Disasters: I Hoarded My Way to Godhood novel Chapter 145

Chapter 145: Chapter 145: The Fiery Sunflower Sprouts

Upon hearing what Gene Morton said,

Keith Griffith’s face twisted with unease and fear.

"Morton... I think we should stop ’doing business’ in this neighborhood from now on."

"Oh? Why?" Gene Morton frowned. "Since when did you become such a coward?"

"It’s not that I’m a coward," Keith Griffith quickly explained. "There’s a Player in our complex! A really powerful one, and really... brutal!"

He lowered his voice and gave an embellished account of how Sean Chandler had instantly killed the Insectoid Monster and then cleanly snapped Hunter Lowe’s neck.

Gene Morton’s initially dismissive expression gradually grew serious.

He didn’t live in this complex, so he hadn’t heard this news before, but he had heard of Hunter Lowe.

"From the sound of it... this guy’s pretty strong..." Gene Morton stroked his chin, a strange glint in his eyes.

"If we could pull a tough character like that into The Brotherhood our boss just formed, he’d definitely be the top enforcer! That’d be a huge contribution!"

Keith Griffith hesitated. "But... Morton, what if he’s not willing?"

Gene Morton’s gaze instantly turned vicious. He shot Keith Griffith a cold glance. "Not willing? Hmph. Either he becomes one of us, or... he becomes an obstacle we have to eliminate. If we can’t use him, we can’t let him become a stumbling block!"

Keith Griffith shivered under that gaze, immediately understanding the unspoken threat.

Those who follow us prosper; those who oppose us die.

"I... I understand," Keith Griffith said, swallowing hard. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

"Good," Gene Morton’s expression softened slightly. "For now, you keep an eye out. Find out which households in this complex have a good stock of supplies and make a note of them.

The boss has gathered a lot of brothers under him now. The daily consumption is huge, and we’re in desperate need of supplies.

I’ll report this news about the Player to the boss and see what he thinks.

If this works out, there’ll be plenty in it for you. When the time comes, I’ll be sure to put in a good word for you with the boss. There’ll be a position for you, guaranteed!"

"Then I’m counting on you, Morton."

...

For the next few days, Seraphina Sullivan didn’t leave her home once.

The extreme cold and blizzard raged on outside, and with chaos erupting from time to time, staying home was undoubtedly the safest choice.

Although she could have completely avoided the severe cold by hiding in the [Scavenger’s Farm] Space, Seraphina Sullivan was more accustomed to staying in her real-world home; it felt more like "living."

Of course, her work modifying and utilizing the farm never stopped.

The Giant Grass Seeds had already been planted.

She took out the [Fiery Sunflower Seeds] she had gotten from the Golden Treasure Chest earlier.

’I was worried before because I didn’t have a high-temperature environment to make it sprout, but I can’t wait any longer.’

Seraphina Sullivan looked at the seed in her hand, which contained a faint warmth, and made up her mind.

She knew that this plant would emit heat once mature, making it a natural heat source in this freezing weather. She had to make it grow as quickly as possible.

’Since it grows by absorbing heat, I’ll try this!’
