Chapter 579: Purple weapon exposed
But that was not absolute. The wheel allowed others to affect the situation to a certain extent.
When the challenger began the challenge, they would enter a closed space, but before that, they could discuss and communicate with others.
This gave Ye Zhongming time to perform. He just needed his core members to avoid fighting simultaneously, and then he could take care of them separately.
He was considering other things. He felt that the pearls that appeared after the challenge ended were very weird. The real danger, or the real value, came from these pearls.
Ye Zhongming was filled with questions, and the level-four wheel challenge officially started.
The four regions started at the same time.
The difference from the previous few wheels was that many evolved participated, but there were still only 50 spins. The competition was several times more intense than before. Many people weren’t willing to participate in the previous three rounds and hoped others could use the white spots on the wheel.
But it was different now. They were under the pressure of the ocean beasts, be it numbers or strength; there was also the uncertainty of the split in regions, which made many of them choose to challenge immediately.
Anyways, spinning the wheel depended on luck and probability. However, there was still a limited number of times. Joining late would mean you had a higher success rate, but the opponents you faced were stronger. It was better to gamble first. If you were very lucky, it made no difference.
Many people had such thoughts, so the challenge became very intense.
The first to face a problem was Little Tiger.
The first challenge in his region was still going on even after close to an hour. Over three digits of humans and ocean beasts participated. Just from the shining demon crystals and equipment, it was enough for both sides to throw more lives in.
Little Tiger was attracted by these demon crystals, which was why he joined in for the first battle.
Of course, although he was direct, he wasn’t stupid. He waited to the end before he attacked. When he saw a level-six ocean beast being the winner of five battles, he chose to enter. As long as he won, he had to fight only one battle.
It was sudden; Ye Zhongming couldn’t craft much equipment for him, but he could hand him the crystal energy gun.
This was a huge risk.
Why would humans take a risk even though they knew there were level six and even level seven mutated lifeforms?
It was because of the rewards on the wheel. After all, compared to the ordinary wheels, the rewards here were one or even two levels better. It was very worth it.
For the Chinese region, another reason was that the mutated lifeform items could be traded with Cloud Peak for great items. Those were things that you couldn’t get normally.
Now, when the number of challengers increased, everyone noticed that if you won, you would get the chance to spin the wheel and even pick the corpses.
When one battle ended, one side would die. You could get its demon crystal and materials if the ocean beast died. If the humans died, then you would be even richer. You could get all of his assets. When space equipment was rare, survivors often carried all they had.
People who lived until now had many good things. Their equipment alone was worth money.
If such a challenge lasted many rounds, the things would stack. As long as you won, you would get rich overnight.
So there was this weird phenomenon. Only people with the same strength would appear during the first three wheels. Many people would give up on fighting as they weren’t confident.
But things were different now. If there were many rounds and the number of dead increased, people were willing to take the risk to fight battles they weren’t confident in winning.
After all, the winner’s skills were exposed so you could deal with them more easily.
After the challenge started, those who used their real strength to scare off others were still safe. There wasn’t much riches, so it wouldn’t tempt many yet.
But if the number of rounds increased and there were more spoils, it would snowball. Even a calm person would start to weigh between waiting for the next challenger or starting immediately.
The greed from a year in the apocalypse often pushed them to challenge immediately.
Little Tiger couldn’t resist that temptation. He still challenged a level-six ocean beast even if he knew it was dangerous.
The silver blade, along with his job, was very strong. He also had a silver set of Thousand Leaf Phosphor Armor. Ye Zhongming gave him silver battle pants, which meant his attack and defense were strong.
But this level six ocean beast was a mutated spotted turtle with a strong defense. After he used Ordinary Man Slash, it only left a white mark on its shell, which made Little Tiger suspect that he was using the wrong equipment.
Moreover, its attack wasn’t weak either. Its explosive speed and attacks differed from the slow turtles that humans used to.
Little Tiger saw that he couldn’t do much to the opponent, so he fired the crystal energy gun.
A purple weapon could even hurt a level nine lifeform, much less level six. Even if this level six lifeform’s defense was strong. Little Tiger spent the crystals, and after 15 shots, he shattered its defense and killed this fellow.
Little Tiger never knew how to be low profile. After taking the gun out, he didn’t hide its glow but showed it off. The purple weapon was revealed to everyone.
A huge uproar swept the humans, and many were shocked by that beautiful purple color! The Ying City survivors knew, but the other Asian regions didn’t know about its existence.
This was a piece of purple equipment, something they had never seen before. When everyone was still fighting for white gear, someone already had purple.
White, silver, green, blue, gold. These were colors that humans had confirmed. They weren’t sure what was after those. Was it purple?
Such a scene caused Guang Yao, who was already shocked by Ye Zhongming’s strong crafting skills, to open his mouth wide.
Purple?
The glow in many people’s eyes grew brighter.
The problem mentioned had arrived. Many people realized a problem.
If they killed this arrogant kid, they could get a purple weapon!
