Apocalypse Gachapon
Chapter 946: Boat

Xia Lei turned the mother platform upside down and saw the crystal’s level.

It was day, and the platform that didn’t feed was a harmless baby. Of course, you couldn’t be too out of hand; if not, it would fight back.

There was a black crystal in the purple tentacles. Xia Lei didn’t understand. The thing her guy was so interested in was only level three?

Seeing Xia Lei’s confusion, Ye Zhongming smiled, “Each time it reproduces, this thing would evolve to the next level. If someone feeds it…”

Ye Zhongming didn’t continue and knew that Xia Lei would understand.

In his last life, the faction with the Death Bone Platform nurtured it to level nine. Although it didn’t have combat strength, but the aura alone would scare many mutated lifeforms away.

That was the truth. That faction’s base was one of the safest human bases. It was much safer than the super faction city that Le Dayuan was in.

“Find a safe place for this. No one to get within twenty meters of it at night.” Ye Zhongming thought about it, “No, fifty meters. Then capture some level four lifeforms and toss them beside it until it stops feeding.”

Although the Death Bone Platform was only level three and the range was only over a dozen meters, Cloud Peak would feed it, so it was probably evolving soon. Ye Zhongmign felt it was safer to set the distance more conservatively in case accidents occurred.

Seeing that Ye Zhongming was pleased with it, Mu Xinfei relaxed. The more she came into contact with him, the more she understood how amazing he was. In addition to his magical crafting ability, the strength of his men and himself also impressed her.

The strength pyramid structure in the apocalypse was becoming more obvious. The people at the top got there by ripping off and condensing riches. It was the same even in the resistance zone.

But Cloud Peak was the opposite. Although the strength structure was still the most stable pyramid shape, the higher-ups returned the favor to those below, and they all helped each other.

80% of the resources that the higher-ups used to evolve were provided by Ye Zhongming. They got the remaining 20% themselves. Cloud Peak’s structure formed an environment where the warriors fought to win interest for their battle squads. Their higher-ups would then get potions and equipment of similar value.

In other factions, that was impossible. In normal situations, warriors would put in 100% effort, but they would only get 30-50% of the reward.

Mu Xinfei was filled with emotions. No wonder Cloud Peak members had such a strong sense of belonging. They didn’t even collapse when such a huge mutated lifeform army surrounded them. The people here would get rewarded for their effort, and the rewards would also exceed.

Everyone was willing to come to such a place. She might even think about joining if not for her being stuck in the resistance zone.

She was joining to stay for a period of time. Apart from bringing him the gun production line and some workers, she brought around 100 people. They were the teachers and future leaders of the new division. She was going to start recruiting nearby.

When she left for Ying City with a batch of potions and equipment, Xia Bai and her squad returned with a batch of water and ice element gems.

After Xia Bai was better, Ye Zhongming sent her to the Upper River Dungeon.

Xia Lei’s Flame Tiger Operation wasn’t a full success due to the mutated lifeform army’s siege. The bit of failure was that they only took down a part of the Upper River Dungeon. There was still an area that was occupied by lifeforms. Xia Bai led her group to gain full control of the dungeon.

With her seven-star strength and her full silver squad, which was all five-star, they spent two days before gaining full control. They then followed what Ye Zhongming taught them to mine that natural gem mine. Once the team sent to take charge of the area arrived, Xia Bai led her members back.

Ye Zhongming was satisfied with her gains. Over a thousand basic ice gems, a few dozen intermediate. There were fewer basic water gems, only 400, and over ten intermediate ones.

With these, Staff of Nature’s energy source wouldn’t be a problem for a period of time. As they got full control of the dungeon, such gems would be sent back regularly until that gem mountain was emptied.

Xia Bai was back, so she took over Ye Zhongming's protection. The monitoring squad also returned to Xia Lei’s side, which made Ye Zhongming a little helpless. Did he need protection? But he looked at Xia Lei and Xia Bai’s gazes and could only agree.

“Look at this data.” Ye Zhongming passed what he had to Xia Lei and Xia Bai. On it was the situation about a wheel.

“Level seven wheel?”

The two of them took a look and didn’t know what he meant.

Although they knew that he could eliminate some options to increase their chances of getting potions, they didn’t have too many level-seven crystals. They obtained some in this fight, but the number shouldn’t be enough to get a seven-star potion.

Based on what Ye Zhongming usually did, he wouldn’t gamble.

“Look at the rewards.”

The two of them took a closer look.

Seven-star potion, a silver sword, silver boots, green bracers, a battle beast egg, an intermediate strength potion, an advanced airdrop, a bag of millet seeds, building cement, and a crystal energy-powered fishing boat.

Starting from the level seven wheel, there weren’t many useless rewards. Each of them was precious. Of the ten rewards, the most valuable ones were naturally the seven-star potion and green bracers, but the others were good items, too.

“No recipe, no scroll, no card.” She shook her head, “I don’t understand; what do you want?”

Cloud Peak was preparing for the Imperial City defense, so Xia Lei couldn’t understand Ye Zhongming’s thoughts.

He smiled and pointed at the last reward.

“This ship.”
