Apocalypse Gachapon

Chapter 524: You can rent

Ye Zhongming was going to create the Violent Thunder Turret.

Ye Zhongming had only crafted one on the Cloud Peak city wall and beside his villa.

It wasn’t that the materials were hard to get. On the contrary, it wasn’t too difficult. After a month, Cloud Peak had collected enough materials around Ying City to craft six of these.

What was difficult was that creating such a thing consumed a lot of time. With Ye Zhongming’s strength, if he had others to help him, it would take three days to complete one.

With these three days, Ye Zhomgming could spend them crafting weapons to earn a large sum.

Moreover, the turret consumed two sources of energy. Be it the crystals or electricity, one shot consumed a large amount. Ye Zhongming tested on a level-one turret. He could use level-four crystals and needed two of them to fire once. This consumption rate was similar to that of the Crystal Energy gun. Even if Ye Zhongming was rich, this was too luxurious for him.

Electricity was an even bigger problem. Cloud Peak’s electricity generator couldn’t even power this fellow. When Ye Zhongming left, Cloud Peak’s technical members were solving this problem. Ye Zhongming didn’t know if they planned to build a small factory or use a hydrolytic pool. He could only wait for the outcome.

Ye Zhongming had been preparing on his way here. One of the preparations was in crafting the turret. Although it consumed time, he did some daily and completed the base. He also did the other parts. This reduced the time needed, and he just needed to combine them.

So, he completed the main parts of three turrets. He just needed to assemble them.

Ye Zhongming observed the position of the wall and chose three places. Cloud Peak warriors moved the base up to fit them on. Ye Zhongming started to work on the other parts.

Be it Ying City Alliance or the faction defending this part of the wall, they looked over curiously and didn’t know what was going on.

Some Ying City bosses occasionally headed to Cloud Peak to do some business and had seen such a thing on the wall. But they were afraid to ask. Now that they saw Ye Zhongming crafting one, they guessed it was a strong defensive weapon.

Half an hour later, the first turret was built. After demon crystals were inserted, streaks of lightning wrapped around the ball at the top of the three-meter structure.

This meant that the turret was completed.

Many people exclaimed as this turret was silver grade!

Everyone respected someone who could create a turret that was silver grade so easily.

Ye Zhongming clapped. He was satisfied with how the parts were assembled.

“Violent Lightning Turret, level one.”

“Mode 1, lightning, consumes 1 unit of energy to fire a lightning attack. 500-meter range, strongest range, 300 meters.”

“Mode 2, lightning ball, consumes three units of energy and fires a lightning ball. It will explode after it touches something to deal an AOE damage. Best range, 300 meters.”

This was the data that Ye Zhongming picked up after he crafted it. There were five more abilities, but they could only be unlocked when the turret levels increased. He needed the next-level blueprints that he couldn’t find yet.

But he was still satisfied with its strength at this level.

Some survivors had climbed up the walls. This wasn’t tough for evolved.

These people were shocked when they saw the majestic tower. Many of them expressed their willingness to stay and help defend, but Ye Zhongming sent them over to the other faction.

The human and ocean beast wave battle reached its intense moment. When survivors couldn’t get into the city, they used their strongest strength.

The city was big, but it was still a central city. The number of survivors inside couldn’t compare to those on the outside. Even if those on the outside weren’t elites, there were so many of them. When they worked together, they formed a defense line blocking the gate.

Although the ocean beast wave forced them back, they still needed an hour to reach the walls.

Ye Zhongming continued to craft more turrets. With this speed, he should be able to craft all three turrets.

The middle-aged captain of that faction returned with 400 people. Many of them were bruised. It was obvious that this trip wasn’t smooth, but they did bring many things. They split the resources.

He saw that Ye Zhongming had made this defensive turret and was amazed. He told Ye Zhongming that he wanted one to help them defend.

Ye Zhongming was warm to him and told him he could purchase one. His face caved in. He saw the silver light and was afraid. Silver equipment was the best at this stage and was very expensive. At this crucial moment, its price would increase, so he might be unable to afford it.

Ye Zhongming saw his worry and told him he could lend it to him. Each shot would cost him three level-four crystals, and the strengthened attack would cost nine.

This price made him feel depressed.

The average human level was two-star, and they were improving towards three-star evolved. Level-three demon crystals were the most common, and level-four ones were rare. But to the leaders, their average level was three stars, and they were working towards four stars. They gathered the most level four crystals, so Ye Zhongming’s suggestion was what he could afford.

He could afford it, but he would have to find other ways to get what he needed to evolve.

“You might even die, so why are you thinking so far ahead?”

Ye Zhongming’s words destroyed his last bit of hope. He called his few deputies and paid 30 level four crystals for ten shots.

They weren’t sure of its strength, so they didn’t dare to pay too much.

But they regretted it after they paid. They thought of one problem. Now that they were fighting for their lives, wouldnʼt their lives be tough if they didn’t help them and their defense failed too?

But Ye Zhongming’s words changed their thoughts.

“Do you believe I can test the turret’s strength on you?”
