Apocalypse Gachapon
Chapter 999: Sheikha Saaed's gift (2)

Ye Zhongming also saw the final thing in the box and sighed.

Were people so stupid to gift him things before he even helped?

Of course not, but Sheikha Saaed did. What did this mean? It meant that the thing he wanted Ye Zhongming to do was very tough.

Only by giving you something that would tempt you could he make it impossible to reject him when he told you what he wanted.

One had to say that Sheikha Saaed didn’t look reliable, but he did things well.

However, this gave Ye Zhongming a new understanding of the West Asian royal family.

This person was not as simple as he seemed.

The second item was the circular plate. This was an obvious trap.

No matter how well Sheikha Saaed described that thing, it couldn’t change the fact that it was restrictive. It only had one use- merging companion crystals. To merge the crystals, you had to obtain the crystals. So how could you get them?

There was only one solution, which was to kill those desert monsters.

But those desert monsters were very dangerous—especially those mutated cacti whose attacks caught one off guard.

If you wanted to kill these monsters to get the crystals, you would have to pay a price.

There was a reason why Sheikha Saaed gave him the merging wheels that only the royal family could craft and even promised to let Ye Zhongming exchange for items himself. He wanted to use Ye Zhongming to clear the desert monsters and those fake wheels!

If Ye Zhongming wanted to trade for good items, he had to clear the monsters around the Star Wheel.

But that place was a death zone.

This showed that Sheikha Saaed’s gift wasn’t so easy to accept.

Ye Zhongming recognized the third item.

It was a Smith Heart.

Intermediate Smith Heart.

“I already noticed you were a great smith during the Ocean King Wheel, so I think you need this. It is a Smith Heart that can increase the level of crafting jobs and permanently increase the success rate.”

Sheikha Saaed didn’t describe this item in detail. One reason was that there wasn’t much to say, and the other was that the simpler his explanation was, the more valuable this item would seem.

Increased crafting job level meant that this was similar to a precious Job advancement scroll. A permanent success rate increase meant that you would save on materials. If you added things up, it meant an unimaginable fortune. In other words, these were evolution potions, lives you could save.

This was very precious, so why did he want to give it away?

Ye Zhongming knew.

This person didn’t have the Basic Smith Heart.

The intermediate Smith Heart wasn’t so easy to use! It was an upgrade item, and only people who used the Basic Heart could use it. Sheikha Saaed took it out not because he was generous but because he didn’t have the basic heart.

Were the items he gave him precious? It was. But be it the support crystal or the wheel, they weren’t unique items. Or rather, they were not tough to get.

China didn’t have the sandman, but it belonged here. Maybe it wasn’t easy, but with Sheikha Saaed’s identity and strength, it wasn’t too difficult to get it.

The wheel was just an artificial item.

To Sheikha Saaed, the only precious thing was this Intermediate Heart. But it had restrictions.

One had to say that Sheikha Saaed chose good presents and knew how to grasp what the other person needed. He gave out things he could afford to lose to tempt Ye Zhongming.

“I have seen the items; what must I do to get them?”

Ye Zhongming interrupted him. He didn’t have time to beat around the bush with this West Asian.

Sheikha Saaed didn’t feel embarrassed and just smiled, “Then I will say it.”

Sheikha Saaed drank wine while talking about some things.

Half an hour later, Ye Zhongming knew what he wanted.

The first was to help him get his base back. It was occupied by someone. Second was to get the Star Elf. This was actually the same condition as the first, as the person who occupied his base took the Star Elf. But to get the Star Elf, that person must be alive, so it was listed as another condition.

Third, if possible, to help him become king.

Of course, if Ye Zhongming could help him complete that condition, he would also have to do things. For example, lead Ye Zhongming to replace the mother wheel and provide him with enough Star Sand. Pay something that was worth what Ye Zhongming was doing.

After asking some things, Ye Zhongming agreed. He had no choice.

Although it was tough, it was better than being lost.

“I need some time; we will head out tomorrow morning.”

Ye Zhongming gave his subordinates some orders and then returned to the room that was prepared for him.

Since he got some things, he needed to turn them into his strength.

The first thing he used was the Intermediate Smith Heart.

He just had to eat it.

The outcome was expected. His smith job was upgraded, and the permanent success rate went from 15% to 30%.

That was a terrifying value as it was an increase in the basic value. A 100% success rate was still 100%, but a 70% success rate would turn into 100%.

Even if the success rate were just 1%, that would increase to 31%, which meant that no matter what Ye Zhongming did in the future, his minimum success rate was 30%.

Thinking back to overpowered things like using seals on armor, you would know how useful this was to him.

Maybe Sheikha Saaed didn’t expect that Ye Zhongming had the Basic Smith Heart.

He calmed himself down and looked at the other item he could use. Support Bloodline.

He thought about it and decided to sacrifice the Basic Lightning Technique.
