Chapter 587: Suddenly increasing success rate
Humans would always remember their sadness but forget that of others.
In the apocalypse, most survivors didn’t have any loved ones. The pressure of evolution pressed on their shoulders, and they were used to having their interests first.
As people had different ways of controlling those interests, some were better at plotting, some were better at killing, some at stealing, some at cheating, and some trading.
But no matter which it was, one’s desire wouldn’t change. It was burning, and you might often forget yourself.
The Ocean King Wheel challenge looked gentle at the start. It slowly expressed its kindness and tempted the humans and ocean beasts. Then, when interests blinded all lifeforms, it mocked them and gave them a huge blow.
Ye Zhongming looked at the number of reduced lifeforms and was silent.
The apocalypse was cruel, often shocking people who thought they had adapted. They would then realize that they didn’t understand it enough.
But at some point, the wheel would jump out and give you another lesson---
Your understanding is not enough!
Even though the China Region that Cloud Peak represented had the largest ratio of survivors, this didn’t make Ye Zhongming happy.
The feeling of being a toy was something that everyone felt.
Ye Zhongming raised his head and looked at the fake sky. He recalled that the nine-star evolved in his last life would rarely show themselves. Was it because they felt something like he did now?
Did they reach the end of the evolution path and realize they were being played with? Then… They tried to resist or had to yield to others.
Ye Zhongming was only a second-rate evolved in his last life and didn’t know the answer.
In this life, even if he worked hard and thought about how to get stronger, he still hadn’t reached the core of this apocalypse. Maybe the Secret Realm gave him some answers, but this answer was still far away.
He thought back to that shining Ocean King Crown. When he touched it, he felt that this thing would help to open up the mystery a little. He could see what was hiding in that gap if he was strong enough.
Ye Zhongming allowed Xia Bai to join, not because she had a connection with the mysterious pearls. It was because he was guessing some things. For example, those crystals with star patterns. He felt that it was best if Cloud Peak touched all of them as some mysterious things might happen.
After the level four wheel challenge, the people tempted by the good things were terrified of death. Anyone who wasn’t confident in themselves gave up. Even if the things on the level five wheel could only be found on level six and seven wheels outside, they didn’t let it get to their heads. Many people decided their challenge had ended and were just here to watch the show.
No matter how good something was, one had to be alive to spend it.
Xia Bai’s appearance stopped many who wanted to step onto the battlefield.
Although they might not bump into her, they didn’t want to take the risk. Who knew if she would choose to challenge them?
Thus, the challenge became cold. Less than 200 humans joined, and there were more ocean beasts, but it only reached two thousand.
But although the numbers were low, the quality was high. The lowest evolved human was four-star, and most were five-star. Some were six stars, but Xia Bai was the only seven.
The ocean beasts were stronger. There weren’t any level four; 70% were level five, 20% were level six, and over ten level seven ocean beasts.
All lifeforms knew that this was a tough battle.
“Defeat the opponent and enter the room; the level five wheel will open--- 20 times. Each time, you can spin twice.”
The notification appeared before the battle. Everyone knew that the wheel went from 100 choices to 40, and the chance of getting a reward had greatly increased.
But the lifeforms that could survive went from 50 to 20.
This caused many of their faces to change.
Ye Zhongming was used to the wheel conning people.
But 20 out of 3000 was better than 50 from 100 thousand.
The battle started quickly, but there was an interesting phenomenon. If humans didn’t participate, the ocean beasts wouldn’t. If humans did, then would the ocean beasts?
People understood. The ocean beasts had little money, but the level-five wheels needed level-five crystals. But there weren’t many level-five evolved that were killed previously. In the level-four wheel, many ocean beasts were forced to give up as they didn’t have enough crystals.
From this point alone, the rewards on the wheel were mostly prepared for humans.
The battle wasn’t as intense as the level four wheel, but it was exciting. New jobs, strong skills, and weird fighting techniques impressed many. Even Ye Zhongming didn’t recognize many of these jobs and skills.
One could see how complicated the apocalypse was.
Humans weren’t very lucky at the start. The level five wheel was split into 40 sets, and 30 were blanks. None of the six humans who won got anything, and they wiped out 12 blank spaces immediately. There were 28 spaces left, and the chances of getting something greatly increased.
Seeing that they could benefit, the lifeforms were more excited, and the battle intensified. More lifeforms challenged each round.
At this point, Xia Bai chose to appear.
She held the few pearls and dragged the Four Elephant Power’s bone platform onto the battlefield. Her opponent was a level seven ocean beast that just won.
She slapped the Four Elephant Power. When she wanted to fire a laser, something weird happened.
