Apocalypse Gachapon

There were three things in the case.

A metal board, a key, and a scroll.

Ye Zhongming picked up the scroll first; as expected, it was the job advancement scroll he had hoped for.

Be it Thousand Seal Slash or Cloud Slice, both had reached top famliarity. To evolve them, Ye Zhongming had to consider things for himself.

But what excited him more were the two other things.

That metal board wasn’t flat, and some slight protrusions on each corner made it look like a frame. Ye Zhongming thought about it and placed the puzzle peace he got on it. He guessed that it should be a board. If you gathered and placed six puzzle pieces on it, something magical would happen.

Finally, it was that key.

Ye Zhongming had a special feeling about this, as it usually involved space. For a key to appear in the Lord’s case, Ye Zhongming felt like it involved Bright Water World.

He picked up the key and read the information he got from it.

“Gift of the Puppet: Puppet Soldier.”

When he saw the simple but informative words, he raised his brow. He knew that this was better than the job advancement scroll.

The Puppet Soldiers should be those statues in the bodies of the puppets. Ye Zhongming didn’t know what they were for, but now, they should be those soldiers. This key was the way to control the soldiers.

Could be nurtured? Was this something like Beast Pools?

Of course, beast pools could endlessly nurture mutated lifeforms, but this Proof of the puppet couldn’t. The number of puppets was fixed, and once they were damaged, they were gone. Once all the puppets were destroyed, the key would lose its use.

In terms of value, it couldn’t be compared to beast pools.

Gao Yi and Zhao Xiangxue cleaned up the battlefield and handed him all the statues. Ye Zhongming didn’t want the rewards as they were useless to him, so he let them split it.

“Only four?” Ye Zhongming was talking about the puzzles. There should have been six, but they only found four. Along with the one he got, they were missing on.

“In the hands of those few people!” Zhao Xiangxue was annoyed.

The three of them neglected that issue.

Ye Zhongminng shook his head, “Let’s go out first; this place is going to close.”

The three of them had completed the dungeon with a 100% completion rate, and 12 hours were also up, so this place would close. They could only return to the hall from where they came.

It wasn’t as busy as before, but this was precisely the 12-hour timing, so the other tunnels opened up. Many survivors came out. Be it giving up, finding helpers, or making another choice, the moment they exited, they started to trade… No exchange information.

For example, what place they were in, what was inside, what they got, which faction entered, how many people… All of these were sold as valuable information. Gao Yi and Zhao Xiangxue, who were seeing such scenes for the first time, were shocked.

Some people even asked them where they went and wanted to give them crystals to get information.

But that person was destined to be disappointed.

Ye Zhongming walked around with some slight interest. He would even spend some money to get the intel he wanted.

This was the apocalypse that he was familiar with. Each person was thinking of a way to create interests for themselves. No fights were allowed, so these methods would be more peaceful, and it showed the intelligence of evolved.

Information that wasn’t physical was sold for a lot of crystals. Whether they were useful or not, real or fake, they all went for money. Most information was useless for those who paid, but they would still buy it. Those people had decided that they would sell this information to others for a higher price when the tunnels opened again.

After walking around, the ten minutes of rest was over. Most people entered another tunnel, and some returned to the entertainment zone.

“Let’s search for the puzzle piece after we come out; let’s hope he doesn’t die inside.”

Ye Zhongming’s group searched for the three of them immediately after they got out, but they didn’t remember their faces carefully and could only rely on their memories. Such a method wasn’t reliable. They confirmed two of them, but they said they didn’t know about any puzzle.

But fortunately, they knew the faction they were in, so that was a good clue.

Ye Zhongming’s group entered a tunnel called Tragic Hole, where the cooldown potion was.

After passing a black tunnel, they appeared in a desert. There was a giant planet above them and rough sand beneath their feet. Many corroded pieces of stones were around, and when the wind blew, it would give off a crying sound.

This was similar to sci-fi movies.

“There!”

Ye Zhongming pointed at a giant piece of stone and a tunnel headed underground.

“Actually, I like such a direct map.” Ye Zhongming shrugged and led them into the tunnel.

The moment he entered the second map, the Five Ring Mney deacons received a piece of news immediately.

Someone completed a map and activated the Lord’s Case.

100% wasn’t surprising. You just needed to fight, and someone would complete a dungeon. The weird thing was that someone did it in a round, which meant they crushed it. Moreover, they had over 90% completion rate themselves. Only then would they get the Lord’s Case, which was the best reward you could get.

Although Five Ring Money strategically gave up the second zone, they wanted the rewards in the Lord’s Case. They needed to pay a huge price to get over 90% completion. Who was it, and which faction was so strong?

The few deacons knew who it was.

Trio!

Deacon Tong was the first to get the news. He rubbed his hands, which were covered in blood, and looked at the flowers in the valley ahead. He ordered a subordinate, “Let the few factions we nurtured activate, follow… Trio. We can’t let them get another Lord’s Case!”

He also left out something important. If they completed another adventure with an above-90 % completion rate, they would reach the core of Bright Water World!

That was something Five Ring Money and him wouldn’t allow!
