Apocalypse Gachapon-Chapter 1151: Name your price
Ye Zhongming smiled.
He could craft blue equipment now, but the materials were precious, and he had to use Ghost Metal.
Although Cloud Peak could produce Ghost Metal in scale, don’t forget that they needed large amounts of mutated lifeform flesh and blood. Each day, Cloud Peak’s warriors would need to kill a large amount of lifeforms to feed the Ghost Metal and Meditation Bone Demon Platform.
Ying City could not fulfill that request, so Cloud Peak had to head further to hunt. They would then have to transport them back, which would be a huge risk.
Even if there were people who transported mutated lifeform corpses to Cloud Peak and corpses without crystals were cheap, they needed a huge amount. Cloud Peak had a huge expenditure in this area.
Under such a situation, Ghost Metal was still precious, and Cloud Peak used its foundations to produce it.
Blue equipment also had a success rate. Even if he had Smith Heart, he might fail several times if he was unlucky.
Also, although blue equipment wasn’t the highest grade equipment that human evolved could get, it was still the pinnacle of what a six and seven star evolved had. Ye Zhongming was very careful when he crafted such things for outsiders.
“I have that ability, but the materials I need are precious, and I don’t have them on me. Moreover, crafting blue equipment has a low success rate even if I upgrade them from green grade. If I fail once, your equipment is gone. Are the two deacons willing to gamble?”
Hearing Ye Zhongming say that, both of them looked disappointed. Although they were one of the five heads and were one of the richest groups of people in the world, they were still using mainly green equipment. They had a few blue pieces. As for gold or purple, only the two of them knew if they had any.
Although green was their lowest-grade equipment, they were reluctant to let Ye Zhongming try his luck with them.
Even their green pieces of equipment were elite green pieces.
The two of them hesitated, but everyone else didn’t. The bosses or butlers started to talk about the equipment they needed. Of course, most of them asked for the price.
If Ye Zhongming sold it for too high a price, it would be meaningless.
Ye Zhongming answered patiently. He told them about the equipment's abilities, needed materials, and prices, or what materials he needed to craft a new piece of equipment and how much it would cost.
Cloud Peak often sold equipment, so they understood the current market price. Ye Zhongming naturally knew, too. The price he saw was slightly lower than the market, but not by much. It gave people a feeling that it wasn’t much cheaper, but they were still unwilling to give up on that bargain.
“If you provide the blueprint and all the materials, I will only charge the manpower fee. The price is cheap, right? Moreover, if I fail any equipment and below green grade, I will pay for it.”
Ye Zhongming’s words removed all their worries. They directly said what they needed.
He told Zhao Xiangxue, Gao Yi, Gan Lan, and Mei Na to record what the different battle squads needed. He himself started to craft some fire element pieces of equipment.
Right, no matter what these people requested, he would consider them. There was something he didn’t consider, which was crafting equipment that didn’t have fire element stats.
Smart people understood. He made all these equipment a similar type and had singular abilities.
He did so, of course, because he was wary of them.
They would do the same if they were him.
But did people give up? No.
Ye Zhongming could ensure a 100% silver equipment success rate. Although there was no green grade guarantee, and he didn’t compensate them if he failed, he promised that he would pass in two tries.
These bosses naturally were interested in green equipment. They had eliminated silver pieces of equipment, but their subordinates didn’t. The average equipment outside was white grade, so silver equipment was good stuff.
People usually carried all they had with them in the apocalypse. Few people had space equipment, and most people carried crystals as they were more convenient. R
So, apart from a few team leaders, very few could give him the needed materials. They basically provided equipment as blueprints for him to modify.
Ye Zhongming selected fire element equipment in his space, and one was enough to upgrade it. He made it clear what materials they were and the price they cost. He even told them the abilities that might appear, so when he modified the equipment, those people weren’t unhappy.
Seeing Ye Zhongming modify a piece of equipment in just a dozen seconds and crystals entering his pocket like a factory line, many people were envious. At the same time, they respected this guy for his overpowered crafting speed and success rate.
Ye Zhongming tried to hide his ability by saying his near 100% green equipment creation rate was 50%. But the 100% silver creation rate terrified these people.
Especially Deacon Tong and Deacon Water. When they saw him easily take unlimited amounts of materials from his space and craft equipment, they realized a problem.
With such a boss, Cloud Peak’s current equipment should be all silver, then… They looked at each other.
They knew that they might have made a mistake.
A full silver Cloud Peak. Would they only be ranked sixth?
Of course not. They should be in the top five and even the top two or three. If Cloud Peak had more people, they would be able to be at the top in the near future.
The other problem was whether they were going to change the list.
Ye Zhongming’s crafting speed was too quick. He crafted all the silver equipment here in two hours and earned all their money.
There weren’t many chances to have a Smith craft things for you.
All that was left were those who wanted green pieces of equipment.
It was slightly tough to discuss money with them as it affected the success rate. Ye Zhongming used the excuse that the green equipment process was a secret, so those people couldn’t see him do it. He went to the cave he came up from to work. At the same time, he placed the ice birds that had evolved and reconnected with him back into the nest.
After handing the equipment over, he estimated that he earned tens of thousands of level four crystals and a few thousand level five crystals in a few hours. He would have over four digits of five-star potions with his success rate.
These factions didn’t go against their word and went into the caves to test the equipment out. Only Ye Zhongming and his group, Mei Na, Gan Lan, and the two deacons remained.
They walked to his side and said solemnly, “Mr Ye, we don’t want to modify green equipment. Can you craft blue equipment for us? Don’t talk about success rate or materials; we will pay. Just give us a price.”
