18 Floors Above the Apocalypse

Chapter 163

A massive truckload of ice cubes was all set to be picked up at five sharp. Monkey and his crew, fearful of melting, had even prepared insulated boxes.

They agreed to meet not far from their previous saltwater trading spot. Stella drove around from another location.

Austin personally brought over the diamond raw stone, roughly the size of a basketball. One corner was cut open, revealing a glassy sheen. Its texture was finely pure and flawless.

Such high quality was a first for Stella. If it wasn't for this catastrophe, she wouldn't even have the chance to admire it up close, let alone hold it.

She scrutinized it carefully, then stuffed it into her giant backpack.

After storing the gemstone in Arcadia for a while, Stella examined Arcadia with her consciousness, her eyeballs nearly popping out.

Wow, it was huge! Really huge! She didn't have an estimate about how much bigger Arcadia got yet.

Stella instantly snapped back, "Austin, can you find more gemstones of this quality for me?"

Austin chuckled, "There's definitely stock, but it's all in the hands of the wealthy. You have precious water resources. Why would you worry about not being able to trade for good stuff? When you return from Swan Hill, we will continue our partnership. By then, even if you wanted the moon, I would find a way to get it for you."

Stella was overjoyed, "Thanks for your help during this time, Austin. See you again."

Austin also enjoyed working with the two. They were capable, reliable, and even reminded him of someone following him during their previous deals. Moreover, with the water they provided, he had met many high society individuals recently, and his business had grown. Back home, Stella brought Jasper into Arcadia.

Jasper took a quick survey, "Added about 1000 square meters."

"Not just that." Stella gestured for him to look up.

Jasper looked at the ceiling, and after a while, he said, "The ceiling's higher."
