Apocalypse Gachapon

Apart from the usual level 1 to level 9 gachapons, there were also some very special gachapons. Among them were the Colored Gachapons with different colors and different areas. In the last life, people would name them based on the number of colors that they had. Those with three colors would be called the Three colored Gachapon. This was the one that Ye Zhongming was looking at.

Apart from that, there was also the Five Colored Gachapon, seven colored and nine colored ones.

Yes, there were only odd numbered ones and no even numbered ones. No one knew the reason why.

Ye Zhongming was excited as these had a very big use for survivors and it allowed them to have jobs.

This might seem similar to games but that was the case.

In truth, the apocalypse was just a game. Survivors were like small players, they were either struggling to survive according to the rules or they were killed while trying to find loopholes.

The Apocalypse Gachapon provided many jobs but they were mostly split into two. One was the primary job which gave survivors strong combat strength. For example, Ye Zhongming was a marksman in his last life on top of being a warrior. Out of which, his marksman job had reached advanced grade and when using guns, he had high combat strength. His warrior was just intermediate but that was still quite decent. One closed combat and one ranged job allowed Ye Zhongming to live for ten years.

Another type would be secondary jobs. There were all sorts of secondary jobs which mainly supported one’s character. For example, foodie, doctor, chemist etc.

To have a job, one had to get the job badge and contract scroll. These things were obtained from such colored gachapons.

In his last life, Ye Zhongming wasn’t so lucky to bump into one which was why his badge and scrolls were all bought from others. He spent all his savings and even owed a large sum of money that took a long time to pay up. Moreover, as he couldn’t buy higher-tier jobs, he could only move his primary jobs up to advanced and intermediate levels. He also didn’t have enough money to purchase secondary jobs.

Such a situation was not unique to Ye Zhongming. In the ten years of the apocalypse, only a third of survivors were able to get jobs. Those who could advance them to advanced were not many. This was also the reason why Ye Zhongming could complete many high difficulty quests as a six star evolved. As an advanced marksman, he could provide his team with strong firepower support.

Of course, this was also why he died. That was because he had to face targets that were higher level than him during his missions such that when he got sneak attacked, he couldn’t fight back at all.

But in this life, not only did he revive, he was also very lucky to bump into a three-colored gachapon!

This was a huge surprise. Although he hadn’t found the Secret Realm Key but he actually bumped into this.

Even with Ye Zhongming’s trained calmness, he found it hard to calm himself down. He walked in front of the gachapon and touched it like a kid.

This three-colored gachapon had three colors, golden yellow, ink black and fire red.

The difference with normal wheels was that apart from these three regions, the way it was activated was different. This wheel didn’t require a set level of crystal, it just required the amount of energy within.

In other words, to spin such a colored wheel, be it three, five, seven or nine colored, you could just place a single demon crystal. As long as it had enough demon crystal energy.

Like throwing coins into the game, it needs seven coins. You just needed to throw in seven, throwing six and not throwing gave the same outcome.

Thus there was a risk. This was why the colored wheel was a little scam.

Survivors were lucky to find it but if you didn’t prepare enough demon crystals and after putting it all in you realised that it wasn’t enough, then… Sorry, it was all useless. To spin it, you need to throw in more demon crystals.

Of course, there was also a time restriction. It might be a few minutes or tens of minutes. As long as you threw in enough during that time, it would be fine. As for the exact duration, Ye Zhongming had no idea. After all, he had never bumped into such a wheel before.

Another scam part was that there were either one or several black regions. Three and five colored ones had one, seven colored had two, nine colored had three.

These took up close to a third of the wheel. It wasn’t a secondary job but it represented death.

Right, if you spin the wheel and it stopped in the black region, then your good luck was now misfortune. Not only would you not get anything, but it would also cause the wheel to explode. The strength of which was something not even nine star experts could block. You would disappear along with the wheel.

So to people, it could make you rich overnight and could also make you die instantly. No matter how strong you are and who you are.

The reason why job badges and scrolls were always expensive was that to get them, not only would you need luck, you needed to brush past death.

If it was his last life, even if Ye Zhongming met one, he wouldn’t be so happy. That was because good opportunities and dangers coexisted. You might get it or you might die.

But in this life, he was so happy that his hand was shaking.

A few hours ago, he gained a skill.

Basic Elimination Technique!

He didn’t know whether or not it would work on this colored wheel but if it did then this wheel had no dangers for him, only gains!

The gains were so huge that it made him laugh!

After laughing for a short while, Ye Zhongming calmed himself down. After sucking in a deep breath, he used his skill and got the notification that he could eliminate one.

Ye Zhongming laughed and his eyes were a little wet.

After reviving, not only did he gain another chance to live, but he also had luck that he didn’t have previously.

The remaining problem was how many demon crystals were needed to meet the requirements of the wheel. The gold and fire represented two jobs and he wanted to get both of them.

He held his blade and had the axe on his back. Ye Zhongming’s body was filled with power as he walked out of the broadcast room. He looked at the zombies on the field like he was looking at beauties.
