Apocalypse Gachapon

When Ye Zhongming noticed this, what he first saw was people; there were many people.

Some people sat on the streets near the luxurious stall. They closed their eyes and sat. Although there wasn’t an ocean amount of people, it was enough to make things very squeezy.

It seemed like these people were cultivating, but Ye Zhongming didn’t understand. Shouldn’t they be in a secret or quiet spot? Why were they at the center of the city? Was this the custom of this territory?

That wasn’t right. Ye Zhongming walked for so long and only saw such scenes here.

Ye Zhongming walked over curiously and wanted to ask someone. But the people around seemed used to this, and no one stopped. But occasionally, people who passed would show a look of indulgence, which he found weird.

He observed for a while before walking slowly up the street. When he entered their range, he picked up a fragrance.

He backed off to be safe and sensed everything. He saw that his body didn’t react. At the same time, people passed safely, which was why he relaxed and continued moving forward.

This fragrance wrapped around his nose, and he felt refreshed and comfortable.

At the same time, the strength in his body started to rile up and was urging to explode.

He stood on the spot and wanted to find the reason. He glanced at the luxurious stall. The scent came from there.

As he watched, he saw two people walk out and head towards Ye Zhongming.

“Do you not know the rules?” One of them walked to his side and asked solemnly.

Ye Zhongming was stunned. Rules? What rules?

This person looked at his ear and was shocked. His attitude became slightly better.

“Outsider? Then you probably don’t know the rules here.” This person pointed at the people around, “To cultivate around our Elite Product Store, you need to give us some payment. After all, we sacrificed so much to capture the Bug Emperor.”

Ye Zhongming was confused. He felt that the Bug Emperor this person mentioned was the king of the Heima. He heard Yindi say that it was very valuable. This shop captured it, showing that they should be strong.

But what did it do with him having to pay for standing here?

That person saw that Ye Zhongming was stunned, “You don’t know that the scent the Bug Emperor Honey gives off can help you cultivate?”

Ye Zhongming was enlightened. This smell was from the Bug Emperor Honey and could help people cultivate—no wonder so many people were sitting here.

“How much?”

Ye Zhongming was curious about the sale.

“One needle time for five coins, three units for 14, 10 units for 45. If you pay one diamond coin, you can stay for as long as you want. But if you leave to eat or drink, then the time is up.”

Needle time was a way this place calculated time. Ye Zhongming found out from Yindi; that it was around half an hour on earth. Square coins were the common coins of this place. There were even smaller denominations called circle coins. The bigger one was called a diamond coin, and the difference between them was hundred.

Smelling the scent cost five square coins for half an hour? Ye Zhongming thought about it. The price for a Red Scarf Fruit that hadn’t reached one circle was five diamond coins? This meant if you used Earth’s 24-hour time method, 3 days, you could buy one Red Scarf Fruit? Although you could sit for however long you like for one diamond coin, how long could you last? Three days or four days?

Ye ZHongming didn’t know how long the scent of the Bug Emperor Honey would last. If it was permanent, then this would be a great deal.

“Can I ask, do you sell the Bug Emperor?”

Rather than just stay here and smell, Ye Zhongming would rather purchase the Bug Emperor so he could smell it at home.

That person wanted to laugh, but he controlled himself. He glanced at Ye Zhongming. This outsider wore low-grade leather armor and had no weapons. He didn’t seem like an expert and had no followers.

From any angle, he didn’t look like someone who could afford the Bug Emperor.

Of course, even in Scarbi City, even in the entire Freedom Territory, the number of people who could afford the Bug Emperor could be counted on one hand.

“This friend, it isn’t that I am looking down on you. The price of the Bug Emperor is so high that most people can’t afford it. Apart from making you feel despair, there is no point. Many buyers will come to Scarbi City a while later, and we plan to sell it. You will naturally know the price then.”

This fellow saw that Ye Zhongming wasn’t planning to pay, so he told him to leave politely.

Ye Zhongming couldn’t afford it now as he had no money.

Ye Zhongming left the range of the shop and turned back. He observed those cultivating. They weren’t evolved, so he could only estimate their strength. None of them were too strong.

Ye Zhongming experienced it, and that scent was useful for him, so it would be useful for the strong people here. But they weren’t here.

He thought about it and guessed that either those people were in the store where the scent was thicker. Spending some money to get more efficient cultivation was very worthwhile. Either that or these high-level people had their short cuts that were better than this.

He walked for half a day and opened his eyes. He then headed to the inn.

If he was willing, he could use things from Earth to exchange for some stuff. But he didn’t do it. After all, things from Earth were too special. If he drew attention, people might find trouble.

Before understanding the situation, it was better to be more careful. What if a level nine person targeted him? That would be too dangerous.

Before returning to his room, he saw Yqain walking around anxiously. After seeing Ye Zhongming, she was delighted and pulled him.

“Quick, follow me. Yindi and the others are fighting!”
