Apocalypse Gacha Chapter 511- Be a chess player

Ye Zhongming looked at the cold face opposite him and the confused Shengyuan and felt like he was in his previous life.

In his last life, the three of them often sat together like this and talked to one another like ordinary people. But in a blink of an eye, he had died and revived here. He also found the younger versions of those two.

Little Peng was also Ye Zhongming’s ally. Like Shengyuan, they were in the same squad and lived together. They saved each other’s lives many times.

But the three of them sat here as strangers. Little Peng was wary and looked at him like he wasn’t a good person.

“You need Purple Ink Urchin?”

Ye Zhongming placed one on the table. This material that could make battle pets stronger lit Little Peng’s eyes up.

He wouldn't have followed him to this bar if Little Peng hadn’t seen him when he entered the city. The safety of the city was relative. This was the apocalypse, and there wasn’t any safety. So many corpses were transported out from the city every day, and they all knew how those people died.

“How much?”

Ye Zhongming looked at the polite expression on his brother's face from his last life and smiled, “Free.”

En?

Little Peng wasn’t excited or happy; he was very wary.

Ye Zhongming realized it and changed his words, “But I need you to do some things for me.”

Little Peng relaxed when he heard him say, “Tell me about it; I might not be able to do it.”

He didn’t understand Ye Zhongming but knew that the things that an expert who could lead 20 thousand wanted him to do might not be something he could accomplish.

“En, it isn’t too difficult. You know that I come from outside. I can buy some random items, but it isn’t appropriate for me to buy in bulk. So I need you to purchase some materials for me. When needed, you also need to help me sell some items. Are you able to do it?”

“Just that?”

Little Peng looked at Ye Zhongming in disbelief.

Ye Zhongming’s task wasn’t too difficult, and it was too easy. As long as one wasn’t a fool, they could do it. Why did he choose him?

“Are there any specific requirements?”

“I will give you a list of what I need, and you can just follow it. Right, move your battle squad to the city; that would make things easier. This is a sum for your relocation. Once it is done, someone from my side will contact you.”

He stood up after tossing a bag of crystals. The core members around him protected him in the center.

“Why me?”

Seeing that Ye Zhongming was about to leave the room, Little Peng couldn’t help but ask.

“I feel comfortable.”

“The last beast wave was ten days ago, and the scale wasn’t huge, around 20 thousand of them. In the recent two months, the beast wave has been getting more frequent, and it is rare for there to be a ten-day break between waves. Based on their experience, the next wave would be a mid-tier one.”

“How many monsters are there in a mid-tier wave?”

After saying goodbye to Little Peng, Ah Yang walked over and started to report to Ye Zhongming about the information he received.

“Around 50 thousand. The large-scale wave would be more than a hundred thousand and has only happened once. The city nearly fell, but for some reason, the wave retreated.”

Ye Zhongming looked at the two stalls beside him and said nothing.

Ah Yang continued, “Many reinforcements came but didn’t work together. Our faction is the biggest one, but after knowing that we were coming, the leaders of the other reinforcements met more often. They probably want to join hands and ask the alliance for conditions. Their movement has been obvious, and they didn’t hide it.”

“I haven't found the exact number of soldiers that Cloud Port Alliance has, but the five factions under the leaders should have over 40 thousand members. The deviation shouldn’t be more than three thousand. I am also not sure of any hidden factions.”

Ah Yang was smart and was able to win trust. He was one of the new Cloud Peak members, so not many people knew him, which made it easier for him to scout for information.

“Brother Ye, I also went to find out about the matter, but no one knows… Why not you go take a look?”

Ah Yang talked about what Ye Zhongming instructed him. No one from Cloud Port knew, so he suspected the news was fake.

He shook his head.

He promised to assist Cloud Port Alliance in getting the most crystals and materials to increase their strength quickly. Be it Soul Merchant, Glory Army, or the conflict after winter in the Secret Realm, Ye Zhongming had to get stronger. Not only himself, he needed a strong army. Ying City couldn’t meet those requirements anymore.

Next, Little Peng told him about his past in Cloud Port. Ye Zhongming was very curious and had many guesses. As such, he came to prove many of those guesses.

Ye Zhongming was not a top evolved in his last life and didn’t come into contact with many details. Even now, he still hadn’t.

He was anxious to find out about some things.

He was like a new billionaire trying to enter that circle. It wasn’t because he had to go in to show his status but only be entering; he could enter a new world and understand things ordinary people felt were preposterous.

In the end, Ye Zhongming didn’t want to be a toy; he didn’t want to be a chess piece but a chess player.

“Pay attention.” Ye Zhongming instructed and squatted down in front of a stall.

“How much is this?”

Ye Zhongming pointed at a purplish black metal and asked the female owner.

“This… Five level four crystals.”

This young woman looked at Ye Zhongming and the people behind him before saying a price.

The person noticed them. They didn’t know their evolution level but knew they were rich.

In the apocalypse, people who were so clean and had white and silver equipment were rich.

So she gave a much higher price than usual.

“I will trade with equipment.” He smiled and passed the equipment.

Her eyes lit up.
