Chapter 172: Screaming Prison
There were many types of gachapons.
Most of them were normal and some were rare like multi colored ones and treasure-gathering gachapon etc.
But like the rules of this world, the rarer it was, the more precious it was. The type of gachapon was also the same.
Multi colored ones represented precious jobs, the treasure gathering wheel represented the number of treasures. The Devil Gachapon that Ye Zhongming had bumped into now represented risk.
Huge risk, that was pretty much a 1 in 10 chance to survive.
Without Shengyuan, Ye Zhongming wouldn’t have even come here even if he knew that the Devil Gachapon was there. That was no different from asking to die.
But with him here, Ye Zhongming wanted to take a gamble.
“This, what is this?” Little Tiger ran forwards and ran around this special wheel. He didn’t understand why this thing was deep in the forest and why it looked different from the other wheels.
The circular wheel was replaced by a square and on it there was something similar to a light… The square was split into four equal squares.
The wheel didn’t have holes for the crystals but there was a semi circular area with a white cap. It looked like… Two small Sydney opera houses combined together.
Beside the hole below the four squares were four coin holes.
The reward box was similar to the other gachapons that were on the other side of the platform.
“Why is it different from other gachapons?” Le Dayuan was really interested in this thing that couldn’t be destroyed. Now that he saw something different, his eyes lit up. But he was clear that he didn’t have a chance to study this so he could only ask Ye Zhongming who once again predicted the future.
“This is the Devil Gachapon.”
Ye Zhongming’s expression was a little complicated.
No matter which gachapon it was, their names were given by people. People originally called it the golden gachapon but as they learned more about it, they called it the Devil Gachapon.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThis was a high-risk high reward gambling wheel.
If you won, you could obtain unimaginable rewards. If you lost then your apocalypse journey would end and you would end up with decomposing bones and broken limbs.
After grasping information about this wheel, people would send teams and companies to face it. Only then could one reduce the death rate and increase the gains from the wheel.
Strictly speaking, Ye Zhongming was taking a huge risk today.
But although it was risky, but Ye Zhongming’s current evolution level was low so the activation energy he could provide was also low. The relative danger wouldn’t be high. Along with Shengyuan and his team, he could take a gamble.
Apart from these factors, Ye Zhongming also knew that as the apocalypse continued, his level would still lead many evolved but there would be some that were lucky and who had people behind them that could push them to his height.
His advantage was that he had lived this life before but he didn’t have the natural benefits that others had.
So deep in his heart, he was anxious. He had to keep up his level lead to use the advantages. There were many things that he had to use strength to obtain.
Thus he decided to come here to take a gamble.
“Teacher Park, stand beside me but you don’t have to protect me. Place your effort on Shengyuan and give him shields at the crucial moment.”
Ye Zhongming started to give each one a mission, “Teacher Le, you and your men wait 500 meters out. No matter what happens, don’t get any closer.”
This person was a treasure. It was good that Ye Zhongming allowed him to take one look at the wheel. He would naturally ask him to stay far away during the battle.
“Shengyuan was at the front and the Iron Zombie would be beside him. The others will stand between us. If an enemy breaks through, that is your job.”
Everyone didn’t understand but they listened closely.
“You will face beings that you have never seen before so be mentally prepared. Moreover, I might be unable to join in the battle so you need to rely on yourself. Today is very dangerous so be fully focused.”
After saying that, Ye Zhongming turned around and took out a huge bag of crystals before putting them on the wheel.
He took out one level one crystal and placed it into the coin hole.
The entire golden wheel lit up and a flash of light appeared on the wheel which lit up the dark forest.
The first square moved. Like a dice, it spun for a few seconds before it showed the picture of an item.
Ye Zhongming’s heart jumped.
Screaming Prison!
This black diagram represented the Screaming Prison.
Although it was called a prison but it wasn’t one, it was a conduit of a battle beast! If one got it and opened the prison, one would get a battle pet!
As Yellow Ball was here, Ye Zhongming ignored such equipment. But now that it appeared, Ye Zhongming realised that one huge thing that apocalypse survivors could rely on had appeared.
Battle pets were different from Yellow Ball. Yellow Ball had a close relationship with its master and after mutating it still maintained this relationship. The mutated animal would have the abilities of battle pets but didn’t have to follow its rules. Once their relationship changes, such a pet might leave and even attack its master.
The pets that one got from the prison would follow battle pet rules. Very simple. It was a servant relationship. It could die for its Master to ensure that its Master was safe but once its Master died, the pet would die too.
Battle Pets relied solely on the user.
Pets similar to Yellow Ball would have one function which was to fight. It had its one evolution function. But battle pets were different. There were many times. Not only could they fight, but some also had support effects that might not be related to fighting.
For example, Ye Zhongming knew that one person’s pet was a mermaid. This mermaid couldn’t fight as its combat strength was zero but it had strong healing ability. This made that expert change his fighting style to one that was highly risky which resulted in many stronger people not willing to offend him.
This was one use of a battle pet.
If not for this wheel, one had to spin a four star gachapon to obtain the lowest level Screaming Prison.
But today this thing appeared here. Even the closest level one was something from a four star wheel. To get one, even Ye Zhongming would take several months.
This was the charm of the Devil Gachapon.
You could get what others couldn’t.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNo dangers appeared so everyone focused on the wheel. Seeing that it moved and that a picture appeared, everyone was surprised. Only Shengyuan was confused. He didn’t know why the little fellow that saved him knew everything.
With his height, most guys in the country were indeed little guys…
Ye Zhongming grabbed more demon crystals and started to put them into the small hole.
“Pay attention, it is coming!” Ye Zhongming reminded them.
When a hundred crystals were placed into the hole, the white cover closed and then the other three squares started to flip! Only the first diagram didn’t.
There was the systematic mechanical flipping sound that stimulated everyone’s senses. The spinning method was similar to gambling machines and just one looked and one knew how it worked. But Ye Zhongming told them that it was dangerous so everyone knew that things weren’t so simple.
The second white square slowed down and everyone saw a few diagrams spin past. One of them was the exact same as the first one. There was also a green human diagram. Apart from that, a red beast ball was also really apparent. There was even a black smoke wrapped skull. Anyways, there were nine different diagrams.
The square slowed down and slowly stopped on the diagram of the red monster.
Before others could ask what that was, a light shone from the top of the wheel and reflected a dozen meters in front of the wheel.
There was a fierce roar and a red fur beast that looked the same as the diagram appeared.
“Flame Lion!” Ye Zhongming cursed and then shouted, “Stop it!”
Everyone saw a majestic lion looking beast appear. The black crystal on its head told them that it was a level three monster.
“What level is that?” Shengyuan only saw level one and two mutated lifeforms so he didn’t know what level three ones looked like. When he saw this monster, he instinctively asked.
“Level three!”
Level three? His eyes lit up. He placed the shield in front of him and shouted, “Bastard, bring it on!”
Ye Zhongming who was waiting for the third square to stop nearly fell to the ground.
People really don’t change. This fellow really shouted the same thing as what he did in the last life.
Flame Lion had a cruel human-like smile on its face. It suddenly opened its mouth and spat out a sulfuric-smelling flame.
At this point, the third square stopped and it was not the Screaming Prison but a black human-shaped lizard!
