Apocalypse Gachapon

Chapter 1098: Completion bar

“This place is so scenic, it looks more like a tourist location than a dangerous place.”

An evolved looked at Ye Zhongming’s group standing there and knew there wasn’t any danger. He walked to the front and exclaimed.

“Do we need to get to the palace on the mountain?”

Other people guessed.

Ye Zhongming looked ahead. There was indeed a pavilion being hidden on the peak between the greenery. It was the only place with something good they could visibly see.

The others looked at each other and ran toward that location.

But they took two steps before stopping. They took out their tags and were confused.

Ye Zhongming’s group was the same. They sensed their tag was trembling.

He took out the unassuming tag, and there was some information on it.

“Puppet Ruins, completion rate, 2%.”
“Participants: 29.”

“Completion rankings: Nil.”

“Reward obtained: Nil.”

Everyone was shocked when they saw such an advanced bar. No wonder Five Ring Money was not afraid that people wouldn’t pay taxes. So everything obtained was written. The person controlling Bright Water World, which was Deacon Tong, used a method everyone didn’t understand to obtain this information.

Ye Zhongming laughed coldly. He had gone through many mysterious wheel spaces and knew that such spaces were special. Although the Bright Water World wasn’t the same as those, it had its magical parts. Just that such a situation would make one feel like they were being monitored.

Fortunately, this was all the tag showed. If not, it would be tough to keep your identity a secret.

Apart from Ye Zhongming, the other 26 people looked at each other and started running toward the mountain.

They couldn’t attack each other here. This was a rule and also why Free Competition came into place. The person who could find the reward the quickest would gain the advantage.

Whoever got it first would obtain it, and you couldn’t fight for it.

“Boss, we…”

Zhao Xiangxue was anxious. They had spent a huge amount to get the information. If these people took it first, then things were over.

Ye Zhongming smiled and raised the tag, “What do you see from this?”

Gao Yi and Zhao Xiangxue didn’t understand and shook their heads together.

“This place is Puppet Ruins, and the completion rate is only 2%. This meant Five Ring money came here before but left for some reason. No matter what, it is either that this place is too dangerous or problematic. Or there is a reason why they weren’t willing to continue. So, it isn’t so easy to get the rewards.”

Ye Zhongming said while looking at the dense forest.

“Also, there are completion rankings and a record of the rewards obtained. This means that there are many risky areas. Since that is the case, we don’t have to fight with the others.”

“Thirdly, I am not underestimating them, but they… There isn’t much with them to tell me they can get the biggest reward here.”

Zhao Xiangxue and Gao Yi felt a little embarrassed. The information didn’t need any high intellect to understand, but they missed out because they were too anxious.

“Let’s go there and take a look,” Ye Zhongming said, pointing ahead to the dense forest he was looking at.

The two captains didn’t ask. They took out their weapons and guarded Ye Zhongming between them.

As they weren’t far away and the three were quick, they entered the dense forest and immediately spotted their target.

It was a 1.5-meter human-shaped puppet that was copper in color. Someone would have thought it was a real human if it weren’t for the head not having hair and the face being a flat board with no eyes, nose, or mouth.

As it spotted the three of them, the copper puppet turned its head towards them. It spread its legs and dashed over.

Zhao Xiangxue raised her short staff and the untransformed Flame Elf state showed its decent attacks.

But Ye Zhongming told her to stop and signaled for Gao Yi to attack.

This Chameleon captain’s wide body blocked before the puppet. He punched it without any hesitation.

A ripple could be heard, and that fist had lightning wrapping around it.

Surprisingly, the puppet also punched. Although there wasn’t any visual effect, it looked threatening, as if it contained decent power.

Gao Yi loved such a direct battle. He hollered, and his fist picked up speed, smashing the puppet’s fist.

After a low “peng,” Gao Yi took a step back. The energy wave swept the surrounding plants and caused the leaves and flower petals to fly.

Ye Zhongming and Zhao Xiangxue were shocked. They knew how strong Gao Yi was, and he was actually forced back? How powerful was the puppet?

When they looked back at the puppet, they saw it was lying on the ground, one hand totally shattered. Its body also cracked and was twitching.

“It is around four-star evolved strength but much more powerful.” Gao Yi said his analysis.

Ye Zhongming nodded. He took a close look and touched its chest. Then, using strength, he ripped it open.

Zhao Xiangxue saw something inside and exclaimed.

Ye Zhongming took it out and saw that it was a half-palm-sized wooden statue and a potion.

Their tags shook, and the information changed when they looked at them.

“Puppet Ruins, completion rate, 2.1%.”

“Participants: 29.”

“Completion rankings: 1: Trio, 0.1%.”

“Obtained reward: Trio, Basic Speed Increase Potion.”

They obtained only 0.1% progress after one killl? Each puppet would have one reward?

Then what was this statue? A memento?

Ye Zhongming moved the corpse around and saw that the material was useless.

He sat up and looked at the mountain peak with some suspicion.

Would the best reward be what that person told him? Would there be something… Better?
