Chapter 179: Gold, epic tier
Equipment in the apocalypse were split into basic, rare, epic and legendary.
Basic had grey, white, silver. They were the most common and the most widely used ones.
Rare ones were green and blue. These pieces of equipment were very good. In the apocalypse, not everyone had one. They were the above average equipment for evolved. They were very expensive and one had to pay a huge price to get one.
In his last life, Ye Zhongming’s green sniper and the big fellow’s green shield were rare. They had to risk their lives for a long time to afford the equipment.
Epic was above rare and it included gold and purple. Equipment of this color was the top ones and these were things that eight or nine star evolved had.
Epic tier equipment was really hard to get.
If one wanted to get such a piece of equipment from a wheel, it would only come from a level seven wheel. Moreover, they were really rare and would only become more common on the level eight wheel.
But how many people in the world could spin level eight wheels? Only nine star evolved could get enough level eight crystals to try their luck. The other people drooled just thinking about it.
So Epic Tier equipment was like private submarines or planes in peace time. Only the rich could have it. Epic Tier belonged to the strongest.
.
As for legendary equipment, they were really legendary. They were said to shine seven colors and very few people had ever seen one. Ye Zhongming only recalled that they appeared on some merchant lists.
Normally speaking, only when one became seven star could one smell an epic tier equipment. Only eight star evolved could actually have one.
But now, on the devil gachapon, Ye Zhongming got on Gate of Sacrifice. A golden gate, a piece of epic tier equipment!
Who wouldn’t be excited?!
At this moment, even if Ye Zhongming went to take a risk again, he would still go. He just needed to get this golden equipment.
Ye Zhongming felt like his luck was a little overpowered.
The devil gachapon was called a gambler wheel because it was a test of luck. At the same time, it had a pattern.
For example, the level of the crystal decided whether or not the item gained was good or bad.
Level one crystals as the activation energy would definitely be worse than level two crystals. Level three crystals would naturally give better things than level two ones.
Each person wanted to get better things but the wheel was fair. If you wanted a good thing, you had to face more dangerous challenges.
If you used a level two demon crystal, you could face a level three or four monster!
In other words, if you used a level two crystal, you might have to face monsters like the Chain Prisoner. Ye Zhongming’s party couldn’t even fight back against some level three monsters. Without Shengyuan, they would have collapsed. If he chose to start with a level two crystal, what a joke? He would be eaten up.
Moreover, one had to be a three star evolved to use level two crystals to spin it. No one in the party met that requirement.
Even if there were, where would one find the level three or four crystals to fix the wheel?
Moreover, Ye Zhongming’s final move. It couldn’t even kill the level three lifeforms. Level four? It wasn’t a threat at all.
Under such a situation, Ye Zhongming had a guess about what he could get from the wheel.
He thought about it. If he was lucky enough, he could get two rare pieces of equipment and that would make things worth it.
But who could expect that he would actually get a gold epic tier equipment. How overpowered was his luck?
In his last life, many evolved mocked themselves. In peacetime, people said that luck was a part of strength and that was actually true now too.
Ye Zhongming knew that be it level one activation energy or level two, there would be an upper and lower limit of what you can get. The lower limit from a level one activation energy would be lower than the lower limit of the level two activation energy. The upper limit would naturally be lower too. But the upper limit of the level one would be higher than the lower limit of the level two one.
Ye Zhongming obtained the golden Gate of Sacrifice and that should be the upper limit of the level one activation!
But the Devil Gachapon was a special wheel and one only had two chances to gamble. After which, the wheel would disappear and spawn at another location.
In his last life, Ye Zhongming found out about this wheel because the wheel took a very long to be found in the forest. It was near the big fellow’s home which was how he knew the actual position. The other locations were of the devil gachapons in the future but there was nothing there now.
He gambled twice and the wheel was gone. Who knew where it went?
Ye Zhongming explained this to the team after and everyone felt like it was fortunate that the devil gachapon could only be spun twice if not Ye Zhongming would have continued!
Ye Zhongming naturally wanted to use such a good piece of equipment. He took out a level one crystal and tossed it in.
The water-like mirror rippled and then the crystal disappeared. And then… Then there was nothing.
Ye Zhongming couldn’t sit still. Although he was a smith and roughly knew its use, but he didn’t know exactly what it was like.
To him, he should toss sacrificial items in and the gem at the top would show the energy level. When the gem was full, the gate would give the user an item back.
But when he tossed a level one crystal in, there was no change in the gem at all. What was going on? Did he understand it wrongly?
Ye Zhongming looked around and didn’t understand what the problem was.
The item was wrong? Level was not enough? Or he was too ugly?
This situation sent Ye Zhongming mad.
He forced himself to calm down and he tossed another level one crystal in.
Still no reaction.
This made him think about the fact that if he was using it wrongly and that he couldn’t show it to anyone else, then wouldn’t he just be staring at this gold equipment for nothing?
This was the biggest irony of this adventure.
Eh, no!
Ye Zhongming was stunned. He looked closely into the empty stone such that his eyes were nearly touching it.
He saw a very thin white line.
Ye Zhongming was really sure that there wasn’t a line previously. That was because when there was no one around, Ye Zhongming had played around with this equipment so much.
There were changes…
Did that mean that there were some changes but the energy level was too little so the changes weren’t obvious?
Ye Zhongming bit his teeth and took a level three material and shoved it in.
As expected, the white line grew bigger. This time, Ye Zhongming grasped the change.
He continued to toss materials in and the white line got thicker and thicker. Even if one didn’t look carefully, one could see the white line taking up the bottom of the gem.
But what made Ye Zhongming amused was that he had tossed so many things in but he only filled up a small amount of it. Based on this situation, he had to throw everything in and he probably still couldn’t fill it.
Ye Zhongming’s emotions cooled.
Seemed like a golden piece of equipment couldn’t be used easily.
He felt dejected for a while. Ye Zhongming adjusted his mood and to him, this did feel normal.
If one sacrificed a small amount of things and the gate would return something good to you then was this even the apocalypse? Would that still be a golden piece of equipment?
Thinking about that, Ye Zhongming felt much better and he was really looking forward to using this.
He knew that since the gate couldn’t be filled so easily, then when it returned the item, the value of the item would also be very valuable!
Ye Zhongming tossed all the useless things in and the gem’s energy grew a little. But it was still not past a tenth of it.
Seemed like the road of sacrifice would be long and far.
He placed it aside and he took out the other thing he got from this operation.
Explosive Mechanic.
At this moment, its cooldown was over. Ye Zhongming paid attention to it and the cooldown was around 30 hours.
Ye Zhongming picked it up and played around with it before placing it down helplessly.
Gate of Sacrifice was a gold epic tier equipment but when you studied it, you could understand how to use it. The problem was in the amount of sacrificial items needed.
But this Explosive Mechanic was different. Ye Zhongming’s understanding of it was limited to just the basics. The information that appeared in his mind was about the basic use but that couldn’t satisfy him. He felt like this fellow wasn’t just a simple cannon builder.
After all, he might be the first person in this world to spin the devil gachapon. This was the first good thing from the wheel so how could it be so simple?
Ye Zhongming stared at the metal fellow and suddenly had a thought.
This was a mechanic, a thing that was crafted, he was a smith, then…
This thought made his heart beat quickly. If he did something to this fellow then based on the specialty of the Smith job, this should be considered something he modified. So would its stats be similar to Moon Edge, that he could clearly see them all?
Ye Zhongming weighed the possibility of failure and even planned for him to destroy the fellow. He decided to try!
A ghost metal appeared in his hands…
