Apocalypse Gachapon

Chapter 1929: Spending is also an art

In Ye Zhongmingʼs hand was a thin booklet.

This was given to him by Cheng Liujin. It was a record of the lives of past Bronze Order Leaders. After Ye Zhongming opened and read it, he learned that he was actually the 333rd Bronze Order Leader.

333?

Ye Zhongming deeply regretted that it wasnʼt 666.

The content in the thin booklet wasnʼt actually much. The vast majority of predecessors were mentioned briefly, with only their name and the term of office listed after it.

Only a few people had some content recorded, but most also only had a few sentences. Those that left a deep impression on Ye Zhongming and were recorded in the booklet numbered about a dozen. Among them, only the first Bronze Order Leader and the 101st Order Leader were impressive.

The first Bronze Order Leader was a true genius. In thousands of battles, large and small throughout his life, he never lost. Even when he accepted a challenge from a powerful life form that came to the planet where the Star-Eye Clan resided in his old age, he still won, though he died not long after the battle due to severe injuries.

At that time, just as the Star-Eye Clan was stepping into the stellar era, the appearance of this Bronze Order Leader greatly boosted the morale of the entire race.

Ye Zhongming held great respect for this person, but he also learned one thing from this: the Star-Eye Clan did not leave their home planet with the help of the wheel at that time; they had achieved it themselves.

The other, the 101st Order Leader, his greatest achievement was forging the Bronze Mask combat team into an iron army, whose strength even surpassed that of the Silver and Gold teams. The most important and most unbelievable thing was that this powerful figure actually launched a military coup in the end, attempting to overthrow the joint rule of the two Star-Eye leaders.
Although he failed in the end, that battle severely damaged the Star-Eye Clanʼs vitality. Originally, all three major teams—Bronze, Silver, and Gold—were elites. The Bronze team was completely wiped out, and the other two suffered heavy losses, with less than one in ten remaining.

The Star-Eye Clan then declined from prosperity and had not recovered even until now.

Ye Zhongming rubbed the bronze mask in his hand, feeling the cold, crisp quality it transmitted. He recalled various legends about this position.

The most common one was that this was an unlucky position.

Starting from the 101st generation, those who retired successfully did not exceed twenty percent. Most died in battle or were assassinated. Even the previous Order Leader had just betrayed and left.

From the time of the 101st generation, the Star-Eye Clan made regulations for the three major teams. The Bronze team was assigned a more logistical unit job, not equal to the other two teams as before. Instead, it began to take up less important tasks and guarding less important positions.

Most importantly, the Star-Eye Clan changed the regulations: once a certain standard was reached, warriors would be promoted to the next level team.

Generally, ten thousand furelei was the ʼlineʼ for the Bronze team. Those above the line would be transferred to the Silver team. Those exceeding twenty thousand would be transferred to the Gold team. And within the Gold team, the most outstanding warriors and those with special talents would be absorbed into the core guard, which is responsible for the safety of the clan leaders, core repositories, and core personnel.

However, the core guard had few members and was not separately listed as a team.

Thus, the situation of the Star-Eye Clanʼs three major teams became—whoever became the Gold Order Leader was definitely a trusted member of the two clan leaders. The Silver Order Leader was the candidate for the Gold Order Leader and would, at the appropriate time, succeed the Gold Order Leader to become the next generationʼs leader of the Star-Eye Clanʼs strongest team.

As for the Bronze Order Leader, it was more of a position under observation, carrying a natural glow of being disliked.

Ye Zhongming put down the mask. Hearing the increasingly loud sounds outside, he knew the surviving Novices were about to be allowed to enter the Shop to select goods. He even heard someone walking towards his tent; they were coming to call him to depart.

He stood up and walked slowly outward, but his thoughts hadnʼt ended yet; he was still left thinking about Cheng Liujinʼs words.

The Gold Order Leader said this was a position with responsibility and burden.

Now, Ye Zhongming understood his meaning.

Recalling those bronze-masked warriors who had previously killed at will and were responsible for guiding rookies, just thinking with oneʼs toes, also knew the teamʼs situation was very bad.

This position was not easy to sit in.

”Order Leader, the time has come.”

The person outside in charge of notifying Ye Zhongming called out. Ye Zhongming opened the door and walked out.

The appearance of Ye Zhongming and the Star-Eye Clan was undoubtedly the focus of the entire scene. Their points were all ranked first, and Ye Zhongming would be the first to enter the Shop to make selections.

The Changxu Water Race people followed behind the Star-Eye Clan; they also had a relatively early position.

Some races hesitated for a moment, then walked towards the Star-Eye Clanʼs team. Cheng Liujin and Aslanʼs expressions immediately became不好.

Ye Zhongming knew what these people came for. Previously, the Star-Eye Clan must have stopped many such people. But on this occasion, they could no longer stop them. These races could directly negotiate with Ye Zhongming.

However, at this moment, Ye Zhongming made a move. He took out a mask and put it on his face without a sound.

Those peopleʼs footsteps stopped because of this.

”Bronze Order Leader mask!”

Someone knowledgeable exclaimed, recognizing what the mask on Ye Zhongmingʼs face was.

He actually took over as the Star-Eye Clanʼs Bronze Order Leader!

Everyone realized the meaning behind this event.

Ye Zhongming, this Novice number one, was determined to stay with the Star-Eye Clan.

Most people shook their heads. Expected from the countryside. Didnʼt he know the benefits of choosing a major clan? Didnʼt he know that once he stayed with the Star-Eye Clan, the races behind those he killed on the Novice battlefield would definitely find trouble with him whenever they had the chance?

They thought a generational genius had emerged, but it seemed he would fall soon.

Among the surrounding teams, many Novices from various races and the mature warriors who had survived the Novice battlefield looked at Ye Zhongming with complex eyes. Under equal conditions, they were totally defeated by this man. But now, this man had chosen an extremely difficult path.

”The rules your clansmen should have told you. Now, you are the first. Go in.”

Zizi Kaba didnʼt waste words. When Ye Zhongming walked to the front, he directly asked Ye Zhongming to hand over his spatial equipment and then gave him a piece of paper.

”After selecting items, write the numbers on them, then you can come out. Remember to calculate the price yourself. There are micro calculators inside; you can use them freely.”

After saying this, the person in charge of the Novice battlefield moved aside, revealing the already open door of the Shop.

Ye Zhongming nodded to Zizi Kaba and walked in directly.

………………

The Shop had undergone significant expansion since his last visit. As soon as Ye Zhongming entered, he was shocked by the energy fluctuations filling the space.

How many good things must there be to have such intense fluctuations in the space?

Ye Zhongming took a deep breath and walked toward the vast array of items ahead.
