Apocalypse Gachapon

Chapter 356: Scamming a kid

He rubbed a dozen crystals in his hands and looked around the Posthumous people.

These people didn’t need crystals.

Didn’t need…

How long was their history? They didn’t need it for so long, so they would have so many things that couldn’t be destroyed. If he searched, then could he get hundreds of millions of them? If he found them and got back, wouldn’t he be rich? Could he spin any wheel he wanted?

Ye Zhongming, who was rarely excited, was so happy that he was about to explode. He was more happy the more he thought about it. This was the first time he felt that entering the Secret Realm wasn’t bad.

But he wasn’t inexperienced and didn’t ask Ah Tao about it. He thought about it and suppressed the excitement in his heart.

He wouldn’t raise it as that would just be sacrificing himself.

It was as if they were celebrating a festival. These 30 Green Demon Apes were enough to feed them for 20 days. Only a large-scale hunt could give them such gains, but each hunt would cause many deaths. This time, only six to seven people were injured.

Ye Zhongming was a key reason for that, so they treated him well. He now had the right to walk around freely.

Of course, this camp wasn’t very big, and he could make two rounds around it in an hour.

He walked around and found his target. It was the little girl that had touched his clothing.

“Little girl is so beautiful.”

Ye Zhongming smiled and touched her head.

This girl heard about Ye Zhongming and wasn’t wary of him. Although she didn’t understand what this uncle was saying, she smiled happily.

“Eat sweet?”

Ye Zhongming took a chocolate bar. This thing was a good thing on Earth. Many evolved used it as grain to replenish energy. Xia Lei handed him a huge amount when he left.

Her eyes opened wide. She had never seen such beautiful packaging.

“This is chocolate, very nice. Do you want to try?” Ye Zhongming tore the packaging and placed a small piece in his mouth.

She was smart and understood right away. She took one piece and placed it in her mouth. Her smile became much sweeter.

So good, what was this?

Ye Zhongming didn’t need to understand what she was saying to know she was asking him that.

He took out a crystal and waved it at her.

“Tell uncle, are such things easy to find here?”

The little girl looked at the crystal and then at the chocolate. She chose the latter.

But…

Ye Zhongming rolled his eyes. She pointed around for a long time, and he didn’t understand what she was saying.

“Keke, Ye, you want this thing? You can come to find me.”

Damn…

Ye Zhongming felt awkward about being caught trying to scam a little kid. He looked around and didn’t see Ah Tao. He knew that his mental energy, which was so strong that he could compete with Yangos, was able to cover this small camp.

He handed the remaining chocolate to the little girl before turning towards Ah Tao’s tent.

Since his plan was exposed, it was time to have an open trade.

He walked in and saw Ah Tao smiling at him. Beside the old man were two middle-aged men and the two strongest muscular men. Miya blinked at him, and he didn’t know what she meant.

Ye Zhongming understood their rough situation. Ah Tao was their leader and the head of their tribe. The few middle-aged men were the fighters in charge of teaching them skills. One of the two muscular teens was Di Nuo, and one was Kai Nuo. They were the heads of the hunting team and were in charge of protecting the tribe and hunting for food.

“Let’s talk. I need these crystals. If you have them, we can trade fairly.”

Ye Zhongming didn’t drag things out. He admitted that he underestimated them. Although their equipment was primitive, they were very smart.

Ye Zhongming didn’t think it was a bad thing. On the contrary, smart people would fight for what they needed.

Ah Tao lowered his voice to say something. He was probably repeating to the others what Ye Zhongming had said.

The people in the room looked at the crystal that Ye Zhongming placed on the simple wooden table. They were familiar with this thing, which had existed since birth. But their ancestors studied it several times and proved that it was useless for them.

They didnʼt understand why someone as strong as Ye Zhongming needed such a thing. They didn’t believe that it was just for show. But since he needed it, it was valuable, and they could gain from it.

Ah Tao was prepared. He took a dirty beast bag and placed it in front of him. He shook it and poured the things out.

Ye Zhongming’s eyes constricted. He saw hundreds of crystals. Most were level one and two, a few black level three, and a blue level-five crystal was on the top.

“We have such things, but our demands will be higher.”

Ah Tao didn’t know why Ye Zhongming needed the crystals. His mental energy was strong but not strong enough to read his mind. He was trying to get benefits for the tribe.

The ancestors didn’t need this. He had to get some from his grandchildren as they played with them as toys.

“Tell me about it.”

Ah Tao was planning to talk to Ye Zhongming and was very eager to do so. The reason was that their lives were tough, and their population was slowly reducing. If this continued, they might get wiped out in ten thousand days.

It wasn’t because of their lack of births but because the monsters were getting stronger, and they had to pay a higher price when hunting. There were more losses. Each death of a strong teen meant the loss of a new member.

But if they didn’t hunt, then they would die of hunger. Although people didn’t die previously, the higher-ups had to go all out to ensure fewer deaths. Not to mention, the Green Demon Apes, who were as strong as them, would go all out against the weakest of monsters.

Ye Zhongming appeared at such a time. This was hope for the Posthumous people who had lost contact with the outside world for a long time. Even if this hope was fleeting and might bring disaster, he decided to gamble.

Now, it wasn’t fleeting. Ah Tao sensed that this young guy was their hope.

“I need…” Ah Tao said.
