Apocalypse Gachapon

“Then say it.”

Ye Zhongming kept silent for a while before he agreed.

“You must prove to me that you have the Secret Realm key first.” That guy didn’t back down, as if this was a market.

To Ye Zhongming, this was indeed a market.

He was sure that this person had a mysterious background or, to a certain extent, he represented the secrets of the apocalypse. Even if the bid were high, Ye Zhongming would consider it.

He took out the unopened Secret Realm key and waved it at that person.

Ye Zhongming saw the surprise in that person’s eyes.

He was confused. Why could a key cause him to have such an expression?

Indeed, the key represented an unknown space, another piece of land. There might be numerous demon crystals, materials, ores, and precious treasures.

The Blue Secret Realm was like that. It had been really unstable, and in the future, dozens of years, it might even fully collapse. But Ye Zhongming and Cloud Peak were still willing to fight a level nine expert to occupy that place. The reason was for those numerous benefits.

Strictly speaking, Bright Water World couldn’t compare to a secret realm.

But the problem couldn’t be analyzed from just one direction.

With Cloud Peak’s current situation, they could control one secret realm. They weren’t strong enough to control a second one.

No one knew what Ye Zhongming and Cloud Peak had prepared to kill the level nine Saint Father. Ye Zhongming’s space, Cloud Peak’s warriors, and the Posthumous people’s city all had trump cards. Some people even gave up on evolving and focused on doing something that might help in that battle.

Ye Zhongming and Cloud Peak paid a huge price for this.

This was a gamble. Blue Secret Realm will turn into Cloud Peak’s backyard if they win. All their input will receive tens of thousands of times its return, and Cloud Peak will enter a period of quick progress.

But if they lost, they would be forced out of the Blue Secret Realm and have nothing to do with that place. All their preparations would be for nothing. Their investments would be a loss, and they would have a burden of hundreds of thousands of Posthumous people. If they didn’t manage it properly, they would die from the burden.

Under such a situation, could they open another gate to an unknown world to face unknown monsters and experts?

Even if Ye Zhongming were confident, he wouldn’t do such a risky thing.

If today’s events didn’t happen, he would continue to keep this key in his space, which he had saved since the start of the apocalypse.

He would open it when Cloud Peak had enough strength to begin another new adventure.

But now, he had a chance, and he felt he shouldn’t give up, even if he had to pay the key.

Although the information was limited to Bright Water World, no one knew what the future would be like. Rather than say that he was using the key to trade for benefits here, he was having close contact with the mysteries of the apocalypse.

This could also be seen as an investment, which might bring Cloud Peak many benefits in the future.

That person calmly said his other conditions, which shocked Ye Zhongming.

In conclusion, his requests could be split into people and items.

People meant evolved, various levels of evolved with complete jobs, bloodline, skills, and equipment. They could either be alive or dead.

Items meant various levels of mutated lifeforms, including mutated plants and monsters. Each level needed three digits; overall, there had to be four digits of mutated lifeforms.

There were many specifics like battle beast eggs, seeds, fruits, etc.

This gave Ye Zhongming one feeling. This person wanted to make specimens of all lifeforms on Earth.

Of course, that wasn’t only it. At least he wasn’t going to make all of them into specimens. Ye Zhongming guessed that he wanted to do experiments.

He thought back to what Li Qiang faced, which involved various experiments. Ye Zhongming guessed that this person had contact with those aliens in outer space.

These conditions weren’t too hard to obtain and were even easy. But there were too many of them of various varieties, and they required a large amount of time and manpower.

“Two things, time and level.” Ye Zhongming said calmly, “I need some time to complete your request, and I can only do it after I leave Bright Water World. But I need the things now.”

“Also, some of your requests exceed humans' current abilities, like level nine lifeforms. No faction can kill such a thing.”

That person nodded, “Of course I know that. I can give you some time. The crucial thing is... that key.”

“Your worries aren’t a problem. Let’s sign a contract. I can tell you what you want to know. Of course, you have to give me the Secret Realm key first.”

The two of them came to an agreement and spent some time discussing specifics, such as the contact method and trading time.

That person took an old scroll and a brush to sign a contract with Ye Zhongming. After signing their names, that scroll turned into specks of light that entered their bodies.

A black mark appeared on Ye Zhongming’s left wrist. This was a high-grade item that Ye Zhongming had never seen before.

He also saw that person’s name-- Fuyou.

Next, that person told Ye Zhongming everything about Bright Water World.

When the three of them left the room, they actually hadn’t recovered from their shock. Things were just too weird today.

“Boss… Gone.” Gao Yi’s voice was shaking, and Ye Zhongming turned his head. They saw that the stall they had come from had disappeared and turned into a wall. It merged with the two sides, and one couldn’t see that there had been a stall there previously.

As expected… It exceeded humans?

Ye Zhongming looked into the sky.

He collected his feelings and returned to the hotel. In the hall, they saw Deacon Tong drinking from a wine glass.

Ye Zhongming smiled. If he still worried about negotiating with Five Ring Money, now, he only had a mental advantage.
