Apocalypse Gachapon - Chapter 1061: Life Grain

Chapter 1061: Life Grain

Da Ning was pulled into a room by Ye Zhongming, but he wasn’t afraid because he was smiling.

Although the rumors said that Ye Zhongming was cruel, everyone in Cloud Peak knew that Boss Ye was very peaceful as long as you didn’t hurt Cloud Peak.

Of course, as he was too busy, the subordinates didn’t have much time to see him.

Of course, Ye Zhongming was going to smile as Da Ning gave him a surprise.

He only wanted to create a workshop that could produce vitamin tablets. He wanted to mix materials to create medicine to sell to obtain huge wealth.

But who knew that Da Ning gave him an even bigger surprise? He said that he could create other medicines!

One could say that Da Ning opened a new door.

Ye Zhongming was restrained by the knowledge of his last life. He thought the apocalypse would end up like his previous life. It might not be totally the same, but it would be roughly the same.

But Ye Zhongming realized that his arrival had changed the world.

Many nine-star evolved in his last life didn’t have the chance to evolve to this level in this life. Soul Merchant, Glory Army, and Resistance Zone were all weakened. There were many factions in Ying City in his last life, but only Cloud Peak now. Zhang Dalong and other names had disappeared from this life…

Then, his way of thinking should change.

“Boss Ye, Boss Ye?” Da Ning shouted carefully. He didn’t know why his boss got distracted. Why did he pull him to this dark room? Was he…

Da Ning lowered his head to look at his dirty clothing and also at his middle-aged face in the mirror. He felt there wasn’t a chance his boss would be interested in him.

“Let me show you something.”

Ye Zhongming led Da NIng to a table and waved. A squarish thing appeared, and it was split into two separate parts.

On the left, some soil floating on the water had dozens of grains growing from it. There were just ten of them, and they looked different from Earth’s. They were pale golden in color.

They were 30 centimeters tall and were at their sprouting stage.

Da Ning observed and mumbled some things that Ye Zhongming couldn’t understand. It was probably something technical about grain.

On the other side was one lone grain. This was very special. The entire plant was golden and it was very thick, like a tree.

This was much more mature and was starting to bear fruit. Da Ning observed the other ten grains and counted them. The lone gain had ten fruits on it.

Da Ning took a look and also sniffed it. He actually picked up a nice smell. After it entered his body, he felt really comfortable, as if some heat was flowing.

Moreover, as the light shone in, the leaves and stem of that lone grain reflected many colors, which made it look like glass.

“This, this is too magical!”

Da Ning praised.

“Life Grain.” Ye Zhongming replied.

This thing was a reward from the competition death wheel. It was ranked before the battle contribution box and was the second last reward.

Logically speaking, this thing should be very good, but until now, it hasn’t been of much use to Ye Zhongming.

Be it the material bag of Basic Smith Heart, they gave Ye Zhongming huge help. Candy had the Neutralising Grasp, which created many potions.

The Contribution Box didn’t need a mention as those battle contribution weapons, submissive sets, etc., were all used extensively in battle.

Only the Life Grain, this golden reward promised so much but didn’t give Ye Zhongming any benefits.

“Life Grain?” Da Ning opened his eyes and repeated.

“En, Life Grain. Food that can strengthen skill after you eat it.” Ye Zhongming replied, “All skills, including job skills.”

“Ah?” He opened his mouth in shock.

This thing could actually increase skill strength.

There were usually two ways to increase skill strength. One was through upgrade scrolls, and the other was to strengthen your own body so that your stats increased.

The first method was difficult as scrolls were rare. Job advancement and skill upgrade scrolls were more precious than evolution potions. Even Ye Zhongming found it hard to get one of them.

The second wasn’t easy either. Humans had to challenge higher-level mutated lifeforms, and the later it went on, the more challenging it would be to evolve. The strength increase wouldn’t stop, but it would slow down. This resulted in one’s growth stopping at one level and their skill improvement being very slow.

Increasing one’s body stats was also tough, and this didn’t have much of an effect on one’s skill or strength. It was only useful if your accumulation reached the amount similar to another evolution.

So, humans judged skills based on their initial strength. It wasn’t that they didn’t care about progress, but that it was too difficult.

Two years had passed, and Da Ning naturally knew this rule. He was shocked when he heard that this Life Grain could solve this problem.

“Don’t be too excited; this thing isn’t that simple.” Ye Zhongming sat beside the table and looked at the plants with a complicated expression.

Ye Zhongming had the gardener job and had huge amount of mental energy. Logically speaking, he could easily nurture a plant. As long as he wanted, he could grow it quickly. But that was not effective on the Life Grain.

“The solo plant is the mother of the Life Grain. The seeds are the other few and after planting the others, the fruits that grow are Life Rice. Strictly speaking, rice is what can increase skill strength. Which is the ten you see on the other side.”

Da Ning looked to the side and then at his boss’s face. He saw his boss shrug and say something.

“I have never seen a mature Life Rice.”

Ye Zhongming’s words floated into his ear.

“The moment before they mature, they would wither and die. The rice would melt and disappear!”
