Apocalypse Gachapon

“Collecting and Refining, Strengthening Skill, Crafting, Enchanting, Embedding.”

Ye Zhongming found the answer in the scroll. The five regions of the badge represented these five skills.

Ye Zhongming’s brow twitched, was this the final meaning of the Glory Smith job?

A job actually had five job skills?!

In the past ten years, he had never heard of such a thing.

For example his primary job marksman, he just went from beginner marksman to advanced marksman. Where was it so complicated?

But although Ye Zhongming was shocked but he was really happy. After all, more skills meant that his job was much stronger.

He read the introductory page of the Glory Smith on the scroll and he was both shocked and delighted.

The delight was because it was as what the scroll said, it was a rare job and it was even a unique one.

Think about it, when others reached max familiarity, they just needed one scroll to advance. As for Ye Zhongming’s Glory Smith… He needed six! Five for the skills and one overall.

Ye Zhongming didn’t know whether or not to laugh or cry. In his last life, he had only used five upgrading scrolls. The first three to raise his shooting to advanced and the next two to upgrade his blade skills to intermediate. But this… secondary Glory Smith job had five skills. He had to upgrade all the max familiarity to upgrade. This meant that he needed to prepare six scrolls to increase each level. He also needed to spend five times the amount of time to train the skills to full!

Was this a hell-leveling mode? Ye Zhongming felt like his own teeth were hurting.

Now, there was a problem in front of him. Such a difficult job, but it was also a secondary job, should he learn it or not?

If he didn’t then he would continue to spin and look what the other job was. Learn and face a difficult path to improvement?

Learn? Don’t learn?

He reread the description on the leather scroll and he bit his teeth, learn!

Isn’t it just many ascension scrolls? Five bankrupted him in the last life but he was revived in this! Why be afraid of a few scrolls?!

Thinking about that, he crushed the scroll and it turned into a ball of light that entered his body.

His body shook and an indescribable feeling spread across his body. Numerous weird things appeared in his mind, from roughly knowing to being familiar and then grasping it, it brought Ye Zhongming into a new world.

This feeling was really magical, it was like you didn’t do anything but you gained a lot.

After calming down, Ye Zhongming clenched his fists. A secondary job didn't give one more strength right away but this new dimension of thought was still exciting. Ye Zhongming knew that he was different. At this point, he was certain that he would become stronger than the last life and also much stronger.

He held the blade that he had spent a large amount of money to buy. The blade had many thin cracks and there were even signs of being corroded by the bed bug’s liquid. A while later, this decent-quality blade would become useless.

After so many fights, the fact that the blade wasn’t broken really surprised Ye Zhongming.

But now… Ye Zhongming laughed. He picked up the axe and used a Glory Smith skill-- Strengthening.

This skill merged two similar things into one to strengthen all of its stats.

Ye Zhongming chose the blade as the core to strengthen. The two weapons flashed white and after a few seconds, he was left with one blade in his hand.

The current blade was different from before.

The blade handle wasn’t cold like before, it was now wrapped in a weird wood and it felt really comfortable in his hands.

The blade handle and body’s connection became much smoother. Both sides had a slight arc to better protect the hand that was holding the blade.

The biggest change was the blade itself. The original blade body didn’t curve so much and there was just a slight curve at the top to make the tip sharper. After strengthening, it was a larger curve. Those small chips were all gone and the blade was much sharper. The most outstanding thing was that the blade's body was white in color. On close look, there was a layer of light flowing and it was really magical.

White light? Did he create a white weapon? Ye Zhongming was filled with excitement. This Strengthening Skill was actually so amazing.

In the last life, many weapons, food, potions etc would show a special color that represented the grade of the item. Things that weren’t modified were similar to normal things on Earth and there was nothing special. But once a survivor with a job strengthened or created something, it would show colors like grey, white, silver, green, blue, gold, purple etc colors.

Like the gachapon, these things were split into basic, rare, epic, legendary etc. Grey, white and silver were basic, green and blue were rare, gold and purple were epic and legendary was the seven colored light.

The sniper rifle that Ye Zhongming had in his last life was green and that was already a really good weapon.

He didn’t expect that the first time he used Strengthening would actually cause a weapon to have a grade. Moreover, it was white colored.

This weapon was already much better than basic weapons on Earth.

As for why the different colored light, many people had one theory. These things contained energy and they were shown differently. Ye Zhongming also agreed with such thoughts.

Playing with the new weapon, Ye Zhongming didn’t want to let it go. After playing with it, he noticed at the bottom was actually a small word. Ming!

Emblem?

Ye Zhongming knew about such things. In some special jobs, there will be similar things to signatures. Survivors would often call them emblems.

Don’t underestimate these things, with them, after the things you created gained recognition, it was a brand. The price would be high and there was added value. So in the apocalypse, many people with secondary jobs were very rich.

The appearance of this meant that Ye Zhongming had his own brand. In the future, he might be able to create a famous weapon!

Looking at the Strengthening Skill reached 1/100, Ye Zhongming’s attention landed on the Enchanting Technique.
