Apocalypse Gachapon

Chapter 46: Upgradeable Equipment

When he grabbed the necklace, the information regarding it entered his mind.

“Basic Meditation Oasis (Upgradeable): Natural mental energy recovery +25%, basic meditation exchange (Upgradeable): can absorb demon crystals to replenish mental energy, ratio is 1 unit of mental energy for 5 units of demon crystals.”

After seeing its stats, Ye Zhongming was delighted. This was like getting a pillow when you wanted to sleep. A few hours ago he had just used up his mental energy and he only replenished less than a quarter such that he couldn’t use his skills. He was afraid that he couldn’t control it and finished up his mental energy once more which would affect his body situation.

With this necklace, it would be much easier to recover. Not only did he increase the recovery speed, he could also absorb demon crystals to make up for it.

This meant that as long as he had demon crystals, he didn’t need to care about mental energy use!

Why did this thing look like it shouldn’t just be a piece of white equipment?!

In Ye Zhongming’s memory, equipment with two skills were all epic tier equipment! They either had gold or purple light. He had never heard of basic equipment with two skills.

In his last life, his green sniper rifle only had two stats and no skills at all! Even then, many people in his team were envious.

Ye Zhongming calmed down as he noticed something weird.

Why did such an accurate description of the necklace appear in his head?

It turned into pure numbers. Usually, only high level crafting jobs would have the skill. Apart from that, some scouting skills could too.

But Ye Zhongming didn’t fit both requirements. He didn’t have a scouting skill and his craftsman level wasn’t high. Logically speaking, he shouldn’t be able to see the stats so clearly.

But it did happen. Thinking about it, he could only put it down to the necklace being special.

But Ye Zhongming felt that the reason why the necklace could have two skills would have to do with the fact that it could be upgraded.

He had once heard of legends of such equipment. Different from job levels, one didn’t need upgrade scrolls but something called an unlocking potion. Someone said that these equipments were actually sealed so to use their full strength, one needed the potion to unlock it.

These potions were really rare and precious. Normal ones would rarely appear on level five wheels and was a market without supply. Occasionally they would appear but they weren’t something normal people could buy. Most of them were crafted by chemists and their levels weren’t fixed so whether or not you could use them to upgrade depended on luck.

Seemed like to upgrade this equipment, you needed precious liquid and it would be tough which was why it was set as a piece of white equipment.

Ye Zhongming estimated that if you upgraded this equipment to the highest level, it was epic or even legendary equipment!

As for now, this equipment was good, but its buff wasn’t as exaggerated as imagined.

The meditation oasis was a passive skill that increased mental energy recovery. 25% wasn’t much. After Ye Zhongming used up all his mental energy, he needed at least 20 hours to fully recover. With this skill, it would reduce it by 5 hours.

The other active skill, caused Ye Zhongming's head to hurt after he tested it.

Ye Zhongming was left with six crystals and he wanted to try to use them to exchange for some mental energy.

What he could confirm was that the level one demon crystal was one unit and it was fixed. One crystal was one unit.

Which meant that five units were the same as five crystals to recover one point of mental energy.

How much mental energy did he have? Ye Zhongming estimated and he was at 200. To recover it fully, that would need 1000 level one crystal!

The three of them risked their lives to only get 700! Even if he used them all, it was not enough for him to fully recover.

As compared to the things from the gachapon, it was not worth it to use them to recover mental energy.

No wonder this was just a white piece of equipment. Its two skills weren’t overpowered. Especially this active skill, it was not worth it at all.

But after all Ye Zhongming was someone who had lived once. Although he felt like the equipment was just average, but if it upgraded, then with the demon crystals along with smithing skills, he might be able to benefit from it.

He wore the necklace and allowed himself to recover automatically. No matter what, having something was better than nothing. Fortunately, it was quite neutral so Ye Zhongming could accept it.

They got many good things from the gachapon. Although they were just basic immunity potions and level one strengthening potions, but at the start of the apocalypse, they were very valuable. Just talking about the immunity potion, many people were willing to spend huge amounts to get it.

They looked at Ye Zhongming, they looked like… Dogs waiting to be fed. The real dog Yellow Ball wasn’t very interested and just ran to other spots to find food.

Each person got one immunity potion and after injecting it, they had antibodies. Apart from extreme situations, even if they were scratched, they would still be able to live.

No one was willing to become those dirty bloodthirsty monsters. Moreover, they were girls who cared about looks. When Ye Zhongming injected it into them, even Park Xiuying looked over at him with gratitude.

Naturally, Ye Zhongming kept the last bottle to exchange for useful things in the future.

But now there was a new question, how to split the three potions?
