Apocalypse Gachapon

Chapter 1008: Ye Zhongming bargaining

That was a seventeen-inch square musical box. It was made of wooden material, and elegant patterns were carved into it.

The musical box was split into two parts. One was the internal part. There was no mirror, but there were a few pictures. Inside the main body of the box was thin yellow sand.

The team leader saw that there were enough people around, so he started to demonstrate this silver piece of equipment.

He pressed onto one of the pictures in the box and then injected mental energy. The yellow sand started to surge outside, and moments later, it touched the ground, forming a human-shaped warrior holding a blade.

This warrior was 1.7 meters tall, and after being controlled, it raised the blade and sliced toward the ground.

This left a moat in the thick ground that was a meter long and around 20cm deep.

“Everyone can see that the hard soil is his majesty’s magical product. To be able to cause such damage shows how strong this is.”

The team leader smiled and was pleased with the sand soldier’s performance.

“Some people say that it is too expensive and that a piece of silver equipment isn’t worth much. But think about it: why is this equipment from the level seven wheel only silver? This means that it has unlimited potential.”

He pointed at the pictures in the box.
“There are a total of five pictures here, and only one of the five was summoned. Although this is already the limit of this equipment now, in the future, once this level is broken, all the other pictures can be summoned, and they will be much stronger!”

“This equipment is good, and good things won’t be cheap!”

After introducing these, he controlled the sand soldier to do some actions before he sat down and waited for the people around to consider. The sand soldier also disappeared after it stopped being controlled, turning back into sand that returned to the box.

The people around discussed it were all interested in the sand soldier. It was obvious that the soldier was strong. If you could summon them in battle, your team would get much stronger.

Ye Zhongming was close and observed the equipment and had a rough gauge of it.

“Is there a cooldown time?”

An older West Asian who was near Ye Zhongming asked.

“No, but if the sand soldier is killed and not actively retracted, there would be a two-hour cooldown.”

“How many soldiers can you summon at once?” Another person said.

“Only one now, but I think as you upgrade it, you can summon more.” The team leader hesitated slightly before answering.

“Do you upgrade the equipment directly? Can’t you upgrade the sand soldiers?”

That question was more special, but it made sense. If the sand soldiers could be upgraded individually, then there might be other ways to upgrade the equipment.

The leader shook his head, “The number and strength of the sand soldiers increase based on the equipment level.”

Another two people asked questions, and the team leader replied. At least it sounded quite decent.

Many people were tempted, but to be honest, not many could afford it.

“Can it be cheaper?”

The first person seemed strong, and he bargained.

The team leader saw that someone was interested. He stood up and walked two steps forward.

“That is the price. If I don’t want to become the third seven-star evolved in Saint City, I would definitely keep it.”

The old man frowned. He wanted it, but he couldn’t afford it.

Ye Zhongming had been silent and listened quietly. Seeing that no one made a sound and bid, he asked.

“What is your job?”

Ye Zhongming attracted attention. Everyone had been looking at the equipment and didn’t look around. Now that they saw this eastern face, they discussed it once again.

The team leader’s expression changed, solemnly saying, “Don’t you think that question is insulting?”

Ye Zhongming shrugged, “Since you aren’t willing to say that, allow me to guess. You should be a mental energy-type job user.”

This time, the leader couldn’t keep calm, “You don’t have to care. Also, can I treat your words as provocation and animosity?”

Ye Zhongming smiled and waved toward him and the other West Asians. “I asked you about your job, as it has something to do with the equipment.”

“You mentioned that you need mental energy to control the sand soldier. Allow me to ask, how much mental energy?”

Many expressions changed, including the old man who wanted to bid and this team leader.

Now, many people understood why Ye Zhongming asked him for his job.

Ye Zhongming didn’t know. But this team leader was from Saint City, and many people knew his job. These people thought about it and understood. He was a Weather Controller, a mental-energy type job!

Although they weren’t sure, but they looked at the team leader and then at the musical box. Once thoughts appeared in their hearts, these doubts started to develop.

You donʼt have to sell it even if you want to be a seven-star evolved. Moreover, you wanted level seven crystals, a star potion, or blue equipment for it. The latter two couldn’t allow you to spin the level seven wheel. So, what did those two items have to do with the equipment?

There was a problem! Although the West Asians didn’t say it out loud, but everyone realized the issue.

“Even if silver equipment consumes some mental energy, how much can it be?” The team leader stared at Ye Zhongming. He would have attacked this person if they weren’t in the strict Saint City.

“It might not be much for mental energy job users like yourself, but for others? The sand soldier will continue to consume energy as it fights, right? Even if it doesn’t consume much, then when it levels? How much, then? If people don’t have much mental energy, how long can they use it for?”

Ye Zhongming’s series of questions changed his expression. He became anxious and realized that this East Asian had led everyone to a misconception.

“Don’t listen to him; he is spouting nonsense!” He pointed at Ye Zhongming, but all it caused was for Ye Zhongming to ask another question.

“I also have another question. How much does an upgrade scroll of that level cost? Unsealing liquid? Higher level upgrade scrolls and unsealing liquid?”

The moment he asked that, everyone was silent.

Everyone’s mouths were agape when they looked at the musical box. They ignored an important question. How many more upgrade scrolls did this fellow need to upgrade? Could they afford it?
