Apocalypse Gachapon

Ye Zhongming sat on the arena chair and saw Gao Yi walk over coldly. He did a mental calculation and got a six-digit number.

That was their current income from the Free Competition.

Ye Zhongming naturally wanted to show his value, so he had to do some things. One of them was Gao Yi and Zhao Xiangxue entering the Free Competition.

He wanted to use this to show Cloud Peak’s strength and also his wealth.

Ye Zhongming would bet heavily each time on his subordinates winning. The truth also proved that the Chameleon’s deputy rarely had a match at the same level.

At least, that was the case here.

He thought about Gao Yi’s payout rate and knew his arena journey had ended. Five Ring Money had adjusted their rates to a low level. Even after Ye Zhongming had bet a huge amount, he couldn’t gain much. He even had to take the risk of accidents happening.

Who knew if Five Ring Money would do something to con him, so he decided to stop.

He had earned enough.

Of course, he knew that Five Ring Money wasn’t losing money. They didn’t reveal that the Trio was Cloud Peak. They needed money, so after the free battles, even if Ye Zhongming earned most of the money, they earned quite a sum, too.

After heading out of the Gory Red Arena, he bumped into Brother Yuan and Mo Qi. Gao Yi and Zhao Xiangxue had taught them a lesson, and now, when they saw these two attack, their factions and them were silent.

Mo Qi was ranked 92nd in the combat strength rankings and felt he didn’t have a high chance. Xuanyue Corporation’s boss was stronger, but he was also quiet. He didn’t have absolute confidence in winning.

This time, the Progress Party and Xuanyue Corporation had lost their face, and it was no wonder they were in a bad mood.

When they saw the three of them, they were furious but also a little curious. How would the three of them be so low-profile that no one knew them?

Ye Zhongming didn’t look at them. He had just heard that someone was selling the Puppet Ruins puzzle piece.

The three of them hurried to a bar and found the person who sent them the news.

Ye Zhongming had some impression of that person. After all, he had met them in the Puppet Ruins. But this guy didn’t look like he was in a good state. Even if he wore clean clothing, a gory aura wrapped around him, he was badly injured.

That guy took out the puzzle piece and signaled to Ye Zhongming.

“Ask for your price.” Ye Zhongming relaxed when he saw the piece and asked for his price.

“Six star potion.”

Ye Zhongming shook his head, “I don’t even know what the puzzle pieces would do once pieced together. Under such an unknown situation, I can’t accept your price.”

“This is something the dungeon gave, and only I have it. The price won’t be cheap.”

That person was firm and felt like special things had to have special prices.

Ye Zhongming smiled and took out the pieces he got from the Tragic Hole.

“Do you see, as long as you complete a certain number, each adventure will have such pieces? They aren’t unique. Do you think it is as valuable as you think?”

When he saw the totally different puzzle piece, he was stunned. His firm aura disappeared. He knew that even if the piece in his hand was unique, the six-star potion was too expensive. If it weren’t unique, then the price would drop.

But he was forced to trade it for something to increase his strength. This was his only hope. He hesitated and said solemnly, “I met an enemy in the dungeon; my team has suffered huge losses, and only I am left. If I get out, I will be hunted down. I need something to keep me alive!”

“This thing might not be worth a six-star potion, but if I can’t get what I want, I'd rather it die with me!”

People in the apocalypse were vicious and selfish. This person showed that he was here to con Ye Zhongming. If he couldn’t, then no one would benefit.

But Ye Zhongming wasn’t angry. He could understand his feelings. After all, he was facing death.

There was more than one solution for things.

Ye Zhongming touched his chin and thought about it, “If I can give you something to escape from your enemy’s attacks, what do you think?”

That person’s eyes lit up. He wanted a six-star potion to raise his strength, but he would still have to fight them. He doesn’t know what the outcome would be. He might be able to live and kill his enemies, but he might also get surrounded and killed.

But flee? Although it wasn’t very glorious, that gave him a higher chance of surviving.

“In theory, it works, but I need to see what it is.”

Ye Zhongming nodded. He took out a capsule and placed it on the table.

It was the size of a finger, and it was dark red in color.

“This is a one-time-use teleportation capsule. You can activate it and teleport anywhere within a hundred meters. Of course, it will consume a large amount of stamina.”

He took out a second thing—two potions. “This is a speed potion, which you should know the ability of. The other is a stamina potion that allows you to recover your stamina quickly.”

That guy’s gaze shone brightly, and he knew these few things could allow him to get free.

“Wait a while.” Ye Zhongming placed the things on the table and left briefly. He returned a minute later, carrying a pair of white boots.

“These boots increase movement speed and jumping ability.”

Ye Zhongming waved, “All of these for your puzzle piece.”

That person licked his lips and was tempted. These few things didn’t help increase his strength but were enough to keep him alive.

“This, it isn’t…”

Although he was satisfied, he wanted more.

“This is my final offer. If you don’t agree, three more people will be hunting you.”

Ye Zhongming took out the metal board and placed the six pieces inside. The board shone, and moments later, the square board turned into a hexagon. On it was a mysterious picture.

A notification appeared in Ye Zhongming’s mind at the same time.

“Obtained: Ruins Formation!”
