Apocalypse Gachapon

Chapter 343: Handing out rewards

The face of the level-five Demon Frog was smashed.

It lifted its three tails, and coldness spread from its body, reducing the surrounding temperature. Small ice flakes formed in the sky around and were slowly getting bigger.

Ye Zhongming was familiar with such a situation. He was hit with this move the last time he faced this fellow.

This was the ultimate move of the demon frog-- Extreme Dragon Storm!

It was much stronger this time. After all, there was a huge gap between level five and level four.

But the frog was facing a four-star evolved whose real strength was closer to five-star. Ye Zhongming also had a purple weapon.

The second gun accurately hit where the frog was previously injured. Its head that was revealed was turned into paste.

He was too close and used the Lethal Gun Artist’s job skill to stack the space. Each attack was right on target, and there was no chance to dodge.

The entire head of the frog was opened up. The phenomenon caused by its talent skill disappeared, and its huge body shook a few times before collapsing.

Ye Zhongming walked to its side and dug the crystal off its head. At the same time, it stopped twitching and died completely.

Ye Zhongming wasn’t excited about this kill. It was as if he had done something simple. But in truth, there wasn’t anything to be happy about.

If he didn’t have the purple gun and the Lethal Gun Artist job, it wouldn’t be so simple for him to kill the frog. The outcome might be injuries on both sides.

Ye Zhongming was close to level five, but that didn’t mean he could crush level five monsters. He was relying on his experience and skills to deal with the battle. He wasn’t able to predict the outcome of the battle.

Unfortunately, he had a purple weapon that could deal huge damage against level eight and nine mutated lifeforms. After the skill addition, it was so strong that it wasn’t something that a level-five monster could block. One had to be at least like Yangos not to get killed instantly and have level-six strength.

Of course, if it were an ordinary level-five monster, it would be a waste if he used this purple weapon to kill it.

He needed at least two shots to kill a level-five lifeform, meaning ten level-three crystals. If not for him wiping out many factions, getting many crystals, and killing some monsters in the dungeon, he would be reluctant to use such good things. Ten level-three crystals were a big percentage of one three-star potion. It was a huge waste to get only a level-five crystal from it.

But level-five crystals were covered in treasures. Ye Zhongming was a smith. Apart from crystals, he would get some materials to compensate for the losses.

He dealt with the corpse and started digging out the nature gems. These were the biggest gains of this trip.

When Ye Zhongming left, he had one more high-grade water gem, 14 mid-grade ice and water gems, and a few hundred basic ones.

Ye Zhongming found it a waste. If not for the lack of time, he could get even more.

When Ye Zhongming returned to Cloud Peak, he was three days from the deadline.

He locked himself in the room for half a day, and when he came out, he gathered the core members for a meeting.

As they had already set a time, the other members were back apart from Lu Yi and his fourth team selling equipment.

Ye Zhongming ignored the worried looks of Liu Zhenghong and Le Dayuan and listened to the reports.

“We took down Yingchun Grain Storage; there were some losses but not much; we gained a lot of grain. But some grain couldnʼt be eaten due to the weather and mutated lifeforms spoiling some. But they should be enough for us for some time. After all, we are hunting and would go to other grain storages, so we should be able to last until next yearʼs farming period. As for how to last until the harvest period, that is what you feel bosses have to think about.”

Xia Lei squinted her eyes and said towards Ye Zhongming.

Ye Zhongming nodded and told her to continue.

“We haven’t progressed much into the neighboring villages as there is little time. We only cleared those nearest to us. The gains are quite good. We found some survivors, but most are weak and need to rest before they can go to work.”

Although life was worthless in the apocalypse, one needed people—especially new factions like Cloud Peak, which needed new hands to build the base. Ye Zhongming brought their focus onto this matter.

“There is no news about Soul Merchant; it was as if they disappeared. But the Glory Army has been active, so we heard some news. Of course, it wasn’t because of your reputation but because of the potions that we paid.”

XIa Lei passed a piece of paper, and it recorded news about the Glory Army. Ye Zhongming looked and compared it with the information he had before keeping it.

He stood up and kicked a bag. He opened it, and many things were inside.

“There are 30 Moon Edge; save some for when your blades get damaged. You can reward others with the rest.”

Thirty white weapons together gave off a shocking visual.

“Chuyin, this whip is for you.”

Ye Zhongming passed Liang Chuyin a weapon, and it gave off a silver light.

Little Tiger was excited and moved over to see this beautiful-looking weapon.

“It is called Cold Ripple Shadow. The main ability is that using the whip attacks will give rise to three whip shadows. In other words, when you use Shadow Dance, the number of attacks will increase by three, and the strength would naturally increase too.”

This ability alone made them suck in a cold breath, as it was too strong.

“There is also a passive skill-- Extreme Bloodline. When you hit enemies, you will slow them down and cause their movement to tense up.”

This was another useful ability. As long as the whip hit, you would continue to attack. Liang Chuyin loved it.

“Main ability Ice Dragon Storm. You can use the whip attacks to release an ice storm, rip apart, and freeze enemies. But it consumes mental energy, so you must pay attention to that.”

“The other skill is Ice Rain. It is an AOE attack. Its attack strength might not be as strong as Ice Dragon Storm, but its range is huge. It can also slow the enemy down and fits your job skill.”

“As for your previous weapon, you can use it as a spare or sell it at a suitable time to trade for things you need.”

Liang Chuyin’s smile got wider the more she heard. She moved over and pecked Ye Zhongming, which caused everyone to laugh.

Then, Ye Zhongming placed three more things in front of Xia Lei, Mo Ye, and Little Tiger.
