Apocalypse Gachapon

After solving one puppet, Ye Zhongming didn’t use the paved path up the mountain and continued to move around the forest.

The reason why the three of them were confident was because of the tags. They could investigate the movement of others.

Out of the 29 people who entered the ruins, the rest were split into four factions apart from Ye Zhongming and his group. An hour had passed, so what were the tags saying?

“Puppet Ruins: Completion rate: 3%.”

“Participants: 27.”

“Completion rankings: 1, trio: 0.6%.”

“2, Scream: 0.2%.”

“3, Sword Finger: 0.1%.”

“4, Legacy Creation: 0.1%.”

“2, Scream, Clear Heart Talisman.”

“3, Legacy Creation, Hollow Fan.”

Based on the information from it, one kill was 0.1%. This meant that Ye Zhongming’s group killed six puppets and obtained three rewards. Of the other four factions, the Scream battle squad killed two. Two other factions each killed one, and even one hadn’t had any kills.

Those people killed four puppets, but two of them died.

Their ability didn’t put Ye Zhongming’s group under any stress.

But Zhao Xiangxue still didn’t understand why the boss was willing to spend time in the forest and not head to the palace. It was obvious that there would be more puppets there.

“I want to obtain more completion rate to see what happens.” Ye Zhongming replied.

Since the boss decided, Gao Yi and Zhao Xiangxue tried their bests. The three of them split up and searched the forest. They killed all the puppets that they faced.

After two hours, their progress bar reached 3%, and they received over ten rewards. Although they weren’t too good, their hard work wasn’t for nothing.

The other factions gained things, too, but they couldn’t compare to the trio. Scream only obtained 0.8% completion and was far behind.

As the three of them were sweeping in an orderly manner, so they were sure they didn’t miss out on any puppets.

“Boss!”

Gao Yi’s voice spread from the distance, and Ye Zhongming ran over. He saw this muscular guy fighting a puppet. The difference was that this puppet was black and much stronger than those copper puppets.

Ye Zhongming took a look and knew that Gao Yi was holding back so that he could observe. He signaled, and the captain shattered the puppet.

“Level five, but it has at least level six strength; it's very strong.”

Due to his job and equipment, his best stat was strength. Since he said it was strong, it proved that the black puppet was good in that area.

Ye Zhongming obtained a wooden statue and a… Puzzle from the puppet’s body.

This made him think back to the Earth Elf.

The puzzle didn’t have any information. It was one of six pieces. “Interesting.” Ye Zhongming knew that if there were something better than the information he bought yesterday, it would probably be the puzzle.

He called Zhao Xiangxue over and told her to pay attention to such puppets. Although the Flame Elf’s attacks were strong, her defense was weak. It was dangerous if this strong puppet sneak attacked her in the forest.

The three of them moved bit by bit toward the peak, and the information continued to refresh. Legacy Creation’s completion rate jumped from 0.3% to 1%. They also obtained the best reward so far—a Five Star Potion.

Ye Zhongming guessed that they had killed a puppet stronger than the black puppet, so not only did their completion increase dramatically, but they also obtained something good.

But they weren’t anxious and continued to clear the outer regions.

Ye Zhongming understood why Five Ring Money would give up on this place.

The challenge here was probably these puppets, which were around level four. There were also level five black puppets and level six ones in the palace.

These puppets weren’t too strong. After all, only their speed, defense, and strength were high. But their attacks were fixed, and it was easy for many people to work together to kill them. Their strengths and weaknesses were obvious.

But if you said they were lousy, ordinary evolved couldn’t handle them. Without five-star strength, this place was extremely dangerous.

How many five-star evolved did Five Ring Money have? Ye Zhongming didn’t know, but he was sure that it was fewer than Cloud Peak.

That gave rise to a problem. This place was a level two region with dozens of areas. Ye Zhongming believed that Five Ring Money could solve a few dozen of them, but they would need even a hundred five-star evolved with many three- and four-star evolved to solve them. Five Ring Money definitely didn’t have that strength.

This showed that the level one region shouldn’t be too difficult, and Five Ring Money solved them. They didn’t have enough manpower to deal with levels two and three. If they did so bit by bit, they could clear the level two regions after suffering high losses. But the level three regions weren’t something one faction could swallow alone. Thus, they invited so many factions.

Ye Zhongming thought about how the super factions went to the third region. How dangerous were those? Would any monster be level five or six?

Bright Water World would be quite difficult if that were the case.

After eight hours, Ye Zhongming’s group cleared the other regions, and their completion rate reached 99%.

What surprised them was that 21 people were alive, and eight were dead.

But none of these people came out from that palace.

Was there something they didn’t want to give up on?

The three of them came to the palace and were shocked to see that it was a connected structure. There was only one entrance, which was wide open, and a few copper puppet corpses lay at the door.

They entered a wide hall that resembled Chinese buildings built when the country was first being built. Numerous tall, lifelike Buddha statues lined the hall.

“There!”

Zhao Xiangxue pointed. Two hundred meters from them were a few evolved lying on the ground.

The three of them rushed over. Those evolved saw them, and their expressions changed, “Trio?”

It wasn’t tough to guess. Only the top faction was outside; since they came, they were naturally the ones.

Ye Zhongming glanced and saw that the group was injured. The most badly injured person only had shallow breathing and was about to die. The one with the lightest injuries was the person who spoke and had a broken arm.

Ye Zhongming ignored them and walked through a wooden gate. Then, he saw those evolved that were still alive.
