Apocalypse Gachapon - Chapter 1088: Familiar people
Ye Zhongming wasn’t very interested in gambling. He looked at his two subordinates and asked if they wanted to play. If they did, he would pay for their chips.
But the two captains weren’t interested.
Since that was the case, Ye Zhongming planned to take a look at the gory red arena.
Mo Qi and Brother Yuan naturally didn’t have that thought. Bo Ge wanted to accompany Ye Zhongming, but his two friends tempted him. After expressing an apology to Ye Zhongming, they started gambling.
Ye Zhongming shook his head and led them down.
“Apologies, I need to check your identities.”
They bumped into a bunch of guards in a bar, and they asked them for their tags.
Ye Zhongming asked. So they actually needed some assets to enter here. If you were poor, you would just bet on the machine above. Those were for small amounts. If you wanted to enter the arena to watch it live and make your bets, you would have to prove that you were worth it.
“How much?”
“300 level three crystals.”
Ye Zhongming didn’t say anything. The crystals weren’t much. He grabbed a bunch of crystals, which were a mix of level three and four crystals. The people here took a look and were stunned.
This guy casually grabbed from his bag and got that many? One person was sharp and saw a level-five crystal inside.
They looked at the tag, which had Trio on it. These people were sure they had never heard of this organization, so they were even more curious about Ye Zhongming.
But they definitely pass the verification. After inviting the three of them in, the person in charge recorded their names in the books as someone to observe. He planned to inform the manager about it.
As they were just an ordinary squad, the three of them weren’t allowed to the top of the arena. Neither were they allowed to get to the second floor. They were only on the first floor. There weren’t any suites, just rows of seats.
Although it was comfortable, it still showed the gap between the second and third floors.
The second floor had individual chairs with many plants around. The third was solo suites with everything inside.
The arena hadn’t officially begun, but there were already performances. Two level-three mutated lifeforms were battling. Some people nearby shouted and cheered for the lifeforms they had their bets on.
Moreover, evolved entered and sat down at the best spots. There would be some squabbles when they fought for seats, but the Five Ring Money guards would quickly calm them down.
No one could cause any trouble here.
The three of them found a seat and saw an instrument in front of their knees that clearly reported today’s situation. The instrument introduced each battle and the records.
At first, the initial rate would change when it was close to the start of the battle, but you could bet at any moment.
“So advanced?” Zhao Xiangxue realized that you just needed to click on the screen to bet and then scan your tag. An attendant would come over to collect the fee from you, and if you won, they would send your winnings.
“How did they do it?”
One had to say that Zhao Xiangxue found this similar to QR codes in the real life.
“These might be real, but they can only exist in Bright Water World.”
Ye Zhongming’s words filled the two captains with disbelief.
“Boss, you are saying that… Bright Water World created all of this?”
“En.” Ye Zhongming looked around. It might be super-space equipment. To get control of this place, you need to unlock some seals, which are the ones we have to face. Whoever gets control can create all of these.”
“This place is really special and magical.”
Ye Zhongming’s interest in this place was piqued. He wanted to see what those seals were and what you would get if you unlocked them.
The warm-up had ended, and someone cleared the battlefield. But there were pools of blood that were left that still shocked everyone.
An MC stepped up and started to speak, increasing the atmosphere. After all, more than half of the seats were already filled.
Ye Zhongming listened; they were just about rules, payout, things to pay attention to, etc.
Some of the rules shocked Ye Zhongming. It seemed like Five Ring Money was pulling out all the stops to earn money.
There was some movement at the entrance. The entrance to the first floor was sealed, and some people got up through this place. Some factions who had the right to get to the second and even first floors were here.
Then, the first battle began.
Ye Zhongming looked at the screen before him, and it indicated that it was a battle between a human and a mutated lifeform. A four-star evolve and a level four mutated lifeform. The payout indicated that the mutated lifeform had a higher chance of winning.
That was normal. When both were on the same level, ordinary mutated lifeforms were stronger than ordinary evolved.
The bets increased, and the number behind it indicated over a thousand level-three crystals.
“Just play, it is okay.” Ye Zhongming passed the bag with the crystals to the two of them.
“Boss… The two of them hesitated. It didn’t feel good to spend their boss’s money.”
“Call me when it reaches the 4th game.”
Ye Zhongming closed his eyes to rest.
Gao Yi and Zhao Xiangxue looked at each other. Since the boss said it, then they shall play a little.
They started to bet one or two pieces.
The person who came to take their crystals even looked at them in disdain.
As they waited for the battle, more and more people observed. Very quickly, the cheers reached a peak.
It was as if Ye Zhongming was asleep. He opened his eyes only when Zhao Xiangxue called him and told him that the fourth battle was about to start.
When he opened his eyes, he saw a person standing there holding two guns. On his waist was a bullet case filled with bullets.
“Why can he still use guns?” Someone shouted.
But very quickly, they stopped as his opponents had arrived… They were a bunch of Soldier Hogs!
Many people exclaimed and started to bet. They didn’t indicate that this person was battling a horde.
Some people cursed Five Ring Money for conning them, but it didn’t matter.
Ye Zhongming paid attention to the person on the battlefield.
He recognized that person. He was Li Qiang.
“I hope you survive; I have something to ask you.” ye Zhongming thought to himself, and then he bet 500 level-three crystals on him.
