[Vikram: What about you, Big Shot Sunny? Why donât you show us your generator?]
[Radhika: No, Big Boss Vikram, this is a bit too much, isnât it? We poor Survivors canât even use ordinary batteries, and youâre already complaining that generators are too slow?]
Radhika in the group sent a condemnation of Vikramâs humblebragging.
[Bobby: Big Boss Vikram, why donât you take me in? I donât want to work hard anymore.]
[Geetanjali: Me too, Big Boss Vikram. If you let me into your Shelter, Iâll even be your bed warmer maid.]
When Sunny Dalal previously said he had a generator, most members were skeptical.
Now that Vikram actually presented a photo of a generator, they all expressed a desire to join Vikramâs Territory.
Looking at the overwhelming messages in the group praising Vikram, Sunny Dalal immediately wilted like a frosted eggplant.
He had previously put on a brave front and claimed to have a generator, but now that Vikram could actually produce a picture, how could he compete?
He wanted to remain silent and no longer pay attention to Vikram, so that others wouldnât focus their attention on him again.
Otherwise, if his lie were exposed and he was asked to produce a photo of a generator, it would truly be social death.
However, that was what he thought, but Vikram had no intention of letting him off so easily.
[Vikram: Hey, whatâs my tiny little generator? Doesnât our Big Shot Sunnyâs Shelter also have a generator?]
[Vikram: Big Shot Sunny, why donât you show them your strength? Letâs see how big your generator is.]
[Vikram: Donât you want a beauty to share delicious food and wine with you? Isnât this your chance to show off?]
Looking at the messages in the group, Anjali was almost dying of laughter.
"Vikram, youâre too mean. This Sunny Dalal is clearly faking it, and now that he canât produce anything and youâre pressuring him like this, heâll probably leave the group soon."
Anjali had long been fed up with this fool who did nothing productive in the group all day but show off.
Sharing life in the Wasteland World wasnât a big deal, but what truly disgusted her was that this fool would @ Divya every time he shared something.
Even though Divya herself ignored him every time, this guy just wouldnât give up.
Donât misunderstand, even though she and Divya bickered and played around in Vikramâs Territory every day, their relationship was very good.
Divya was annoyed by Sunny Dalal, so Anjali naturally didnât have a good impression of him either.
Now seeing the other party speechless because of Vikram, she was genuinely happy.
In the group, Sunny Dalal seemed to have thought for a long time for an excuse before finally managing to squeeze out a sentence.
[Sunny Dalal: Iâm too lazy to compare myself with a superficial person like you. Thereâs nothing to show off about generators.]
[Vikram: Is that so? I thought your Shelter didnât have a generator at all. It seems I was indeed short-sighted.]
[Vikram: But Sunny, the placement of the light bulbs in your Shelter isnât quite right. Why is the light coming from the side?]
[Radhika: It really does seem that way?]
It was only after Vikramâs reminder that the group members noticed the anomaly from the reflections cast by the light.
The light in Sunny Dalalâs Shelter in the photo was indeed shining from right to left.
However, because they hadnât looked closely before, they hadnât discovered it sooner.
[Sunny Dalal: This... this, itâs hard to manage the wiring if I install light bulbs on the ceiling. Is it not okay if I install them on the side wall first?]
[Sunny Dalal: You have to talk about this too? Arenât you being a bit too nosy?]
[Sunny Dalal: If I had your free time, I would have collected so many supplies by now from going out.]
Sunny Dalal was still stubborn on the surface, but in reality, cold sweat was already pouring down his forehead.
He cursed inwardly, "Damn it, this bastard is really not leaving me any way out."
Staring at Vikramâs avatar through gritted teeth, Sunny Dalal wanted to tear Vikram apart.
His current thought was that it was a good thing he was quick-witted and could come up with a plausible excuse, otherwise, he really couldnât stay in this group.
[Vikram: Oh, is that so? I thought it was a desk lamp.]
As he spoke, another picture was posted by Vikram, showing a desk lamp sitting quietly on the living room table.
With his thought, a desk lamp type light appeared from the Treehouse, Vikram had thoughtfully positioned it slightly to the right, so the light it cast was almost identical to the light in the photos Sunny Dalal had shown off earlier.
As soon as the photo was sent, the group members instantly understood Vikramâs meaning.
Sunny Dalalâs previous lies about light bulbs and generators immediately fell apart.
After realizing that they had been tricked by Sunny Dalal, the group members naturally didnât give him a good look.
[Radhika: This is a bit much, Sunny Dalal. Weâre all group members, helping each other out, and youâre here deceiving people just to show off?]
[Bobby: Why bother, you know? If you spoke normally, no one would look down on you. Vikram is truly powerful, and you donât see him acting like this.]
[Geetanjali: Exactly, exactly. And he keeps thinking about rescuing Divya. Does she need you to rescue her?]
Perhaps embarrassed to show up again, Sunny Dalal remained silent after the truth was exposed.
Privately, he was flushed with anger, staring at the messages in the group, he only felt his face being rubbed on the ground.
But he couldnât do anything about it. Leaving the group was impossible.
The power of this group chat was greater than he imagined. If he were to leave the group over such a small matter, it would not be worth it.
So he could only cower behind the screen, quietly enduring the curses.
At the same time, he mentally cursed Vikramâs relatives eight hundred times.
But the group members were clearly not satisfied with his silence and continued to condemn him.
Just as things were about to escalate, the co-admin, who rarely appeared, finally arrived late.
[Director Aditya: Whatâs going on? Why are you all arguing again?]
After the group members collectively informed Director Aditya of the whole story, he quickly made a decision.
[Director Aditya: Thereâs no need to discuss this further. Sunny Dalal was indeed in the wrong first. Let him reflect properly.]
As he spoke, a message appeared in the group stating that Sunny Dalal had been muted for a week.
Director Aditya had no particular reaction to Vikram.
After all, he was only defending his own rights and didnât say anything he shouldnât have.
As the co-admin, Director Aditya was still fair.
[Director Aditya: Letâs put this matter behind us. We are all group members, and we should be understanding of each otherâs shortcomings.]
[Director Aditya: Thereâs no benefit in making the group atmosphere so tense, understood?]
The commotion about Sunny Dalal ended abruptly with him being muted for a week.
He didnât know how the other party was doing, but Vikram himself felt very refreshed.
As for their relationship becoming increasingly hostile, he didnât care at all.
They were just group members who didnât talk much anyway, so their relationship wasnât that good to begin with.
Even so, he was still harassing his little wife Divya every three days, which was naturally intolerable.
They were already in the apocalypse, so there was no reason to endure being provoked. With the system by his side, he just had to do it.
The previous incident almost made Vikram completely certain that power was no longer such an astonishing thing at this stage.
After the appearance of new resources, it seemed that the group members were not idle either, and all had some gains.
Otherwise, why would there be so many people in the group asking how to obtain power? This must mean that they all had electrical appliances they had found.
Thinking this, he looked at Divya and Anjali.
Seeing the two cast him puzzled glances, Vikram slowly began to speak.
"Now, the Wasteland World has new resource points, where various high-tech products from the previous world have appeared."
"This is clearly an opportunity for even an ordinary survivor to obtain many good things from it."
"My point is, we should also gather many appliances."
Still, Vikram has just taken these things for decoration for some time, when his Treehouse upgrade, and new amazing things available in the System store, he will remove and gift all the electrical appliances to his subordinates.
"This way, various trade matters in the group can be better carried out later. What do you two think?"
With that, Vikram looked at the two, trying to get some feedback from their faces.
It was Anjali who spoke first, "Hehe, Vik, do you want to show off the Shelterâs strength, or do you think you were very annoyed by being provoked just now and want to get back at them?"
Rubbing her hands, Anjali said with a suppressed laugh, not forgetting to raise her eyebrows mischievously.
"Cough ~ cough ~" He lightly coughed, covering up the embarrassment of his thoughts being exposed.
He secretly wondered how Anjali, this little silly girl, was usually so foolish, but always so clever at times like these.
"No, thatâs not it. Iâm doing all this for the sake of the territory."
"But itâs pretty much that meaning too." Hearing this, Anjaliâs smile grew wider.
"Then I have no objections. Although life in the territory is quite good, not being able to share anything is boring me to death." As she spoke, as if remembering something, she continued.
"Donât worry, I know what can be exposed and what cannot. I wonât cause you any trouble."
Divya and Sophia also nodded, "I have no objections either."
Seeing this, Vikram also nodded reassuringly, while his mind was already planning the next steps.
"Tomorrow is the last day before the natural disaster begins. We must collect as many supplies as possible before then."
"Especially livestock-related supplies."
Recalling the increasingly scarce creatures outside, coupled with the appearance of these seemingly free new resources.
Vikram had a persistent bad feeling directly hitting his heart.
With this thought, he ended this busy day...
