Apocalypse Gachapon - Chapter 270: Time to pick up spoils

Oh?

Many people looked at the tray and saw a red stone.

“This is something our Renxing Battle Squad got during an adventure. We don’t know what it is but we can sense its heat. It is probably useful for some job users, so we will use it to open the event.”

The others started to discuss. No one recognized this item, so no one started to bid.

“Do you know what this is?” Sha Sha sat directly next to Ye Zhongming, which attracted the gazes of many people. She observed that his eyes lit up, so she guessed he recognized the red stone.

“The base price is 200 level-one demon crystals or two level-one potions. Does anyone want it?”

Bai Feng shrugged, but he didn’t seem too disappointed. After all, each faction took out things they didn’t need. But evolved could sense the heat from inside, so Bai Feng took it out to try his luck.

“Bid.” Ye Zhongming said softly, and Brother Bao raised his hand.

Bai Feng nodded, “Brother Bao is bidding; what about the rest of you? Will anyone add to the bid?”

They weren’t professional auctioneers, and there was no need for any rituals, so the auction was casual.

The others discussed but no one bid. Jill Warrior Squad, who hated Burning Rage, didn’t cause trouble. After all, demon crystals weren’t money but things they used human life to trade for. They couldn’t joke around with it.

“Okay, then this stone with magical energy would belong to Burning Rage.”

Ye Zhongming smiled and knew that his gains today were what he expected. He was more knowledgeable than everyone else, so that he could pick up some spoils.

This red stone was a nature gem, a fire element nature gem. It was the same as the water and ice ones he had previously.

The nature gems were useless for most survivors at this stage. After all, humans hadn’t evolved to that level. But Ye Zhongming was an exception as he had the Nature Staff. This allowed him to use the nature gem.

Although he didn’t know what the fire element gem would do, ice, fire, and lighting were all attack skills. That made up for him not having any ice-element gems.

Moreover, although this was a one-time use item, for him to buy it for just two evolution potions was very cheap.

This also considered the difference in how many demon crystals they needed. As Ye Zhongming had the Basic Elimination Technique, he would choose gachapons that needed fewer crystals to get his potions. After eliminating one option, he would get more potions than others. The increase in chance meant he would need a few dozen to get a potion, while others required a hundred.

Two potions were just around 150 crystals for him. Others needed 200 crystals to purchase this, but he needed 50 less.

“What is this?” Sha Sha asked. She was curious about this stone.

Ye Zhongming pouted. It was tough to explain this. Moreover, he didn’t think there was a point in telling her.

“Mysterious!”

Seeing that he didn’t reply, she crossed her arms, making her chests appear bigger. That attracted more perverted gazes.

“Next.” Bai Feng was surprised that this unknown stone would get sold. He didn’t think two evolution potions were cheap. He was a practical person. This thing might be useful in the future, but it wasn’t now. So it was worth trading for something he could use now.

Another tray but this time, it wasn’t covered. Everyone saw what was on it right away.

A shining key!

The moment he saw it, his blood started to surge.

Secret Realm Key!

Ye Zhongming got one of these on the first day of the Apocalypse, and it was still in his secret space. He didn’t expect to see another one here today!

Secret Realm was something that was still really mysterious ten years later. Other people didn’t know any information about the key besides those with the key. Each person with a key would become one of the strongest in the Apocalypse.

The only thing Ye Zhongming knew was that the thing the key opens would be filled with unknown dangers. Although he got a key, he hadn’t used it. With his current three-star strength, he wasn’t confident walking out of the Secret Realm.

But another one appeared. Moreover, he sensed an intense energy fluctuation. It was obvious that this key had been used.

Who used it? Could this thing be sealed again? Who owned it, and why were they selling it?

Ye Zhongming didn’t expect such a thing on a low-scale trading event.

“This is the Secret Realm Key. Although I know its use but I can’t solve its mysteries.” Bai Feng had a face filled with regret, “Everyone has heard of Blue Bay Battle Squad, who was stronger than us, but they suddenly disappeared.”

Most people knew about this. Blue Bay Battle Squad was the previous boss of Ying City. When they were around, Renxing Battle Squad was like a little brother. They were sneak attacked at night, and nearly all their members were lost. They rose like a meteor and fell like a meteor too.

“Some of their members were absorbed into my squad, which belonged to them.” His gaze toward the key was different from when he saw the stone. He was very reluctant to sell it.

“Honestly, this was why Blue Bay Battle Squad was wiped out. They used this key and noticed that the things within were not something they could go up against. They could only flee. But only 1% of the people who went in survived.”

Many people were shocked by the news. They had never heard of equipment that would cause one to face an enemy. This was even the first time that Ye Zhongming had heard about it.

“Boss Bai, this item is a problem, so why are you still selling it?”

A faction leader shouted, and many people agreed.

This thing caused the strong Blue Bay Battle Squad to collapse, so weren’t they trying to con people now?

Bai Feng expected the question and calmly explained, “High risk means high reward. This thing is dangerous, and even I don’t dare to enter. But what if you pass the dangers? What will you get? Higher-level potions? Stronger job scrolls? Overpowered skills? Who knows?”

He waved, “Apocalypse, gachapon… It is just a gamble of luck. Since that is the case, since we can even gamble with our lives, then why can’t we gamble with this?”

His voice was loud, and he was determined, “Not only do I want to sell this to someone who dares to gamble something that I don’t dare to, it won’t be cheap. The person who wants to gamble needs to pay two… Two-star potions!”
