Apocalypse Gachapon

Chapter 32: Mental Strength

Even a level two mutated being couldn’t stop the sharp white blade.

The tip stuck into the throat of the lizard. Ye Zhongming flicked the blade and the wound was sliced open. Blood spurted out and there was instantly a thick blood smell in the air.

Just now, Yellow Ball charged from the side and bit the tail of the lizard so that it couldn’t move. Which was why Ye Zhongming was able to slice its throat.

This dog actually knew how to coordinate with Ye Zhongming. It was surprisingly smart.

Ye Zhongming pulled out the blade and retreated, going far from the lizard.

Mutate beings had a strong life force. Even with its throat sliced open it didn’t die right away. It became really frustrated and tried to bite Yellow Ball who was holding onto its tail.

.

But Yellow Ball was really cunning. It started to play hide and seek while biting its tail. When the lizard went left, it would go right. When it went right, it would go left. This lizard moved left and right and the blood formed a little pool below it. It slowly lost vitality and after crying out, it fell to the ground.

Only then did Ye Zhongming walk out. He looked at it for a short moment before stabbing his blade into its eyes and digging the level two crystal out.

In his last life, this mutated lizard was called Blood Tongue Lizard. It had thick skin and was really mobile. Especially the long tongue in its mouth. After it shot out, it could attack enemies that were a few meters away. There were also spikes on its tongue that would rip out the flesh from human bodies that it hit.

Its weakness was its soft belly and chin. Only experienced survivors could accurately find and attack these weak spots.

Ye Zhongming was coincidentally such a hunter.

After digging out the crystal, Ye Zhongming didn’t give up on the corpse. He first sliced off its sharp claws and then pulled out its famous tongue. These were all good materials. The tongue was also a great delicacy and after eating, it could strengthen one’s body.

While doing all this, he used Glory Smith’s collecting and refining skill. Ye Zhongming gained five notifications about his skill familiarity.

Ye Zhongming was stunned. This collecting and refining skill was like a passive skill. As long as he collected materials, the familiarity would increase and he didn’t need to activate it himself.

Moreover, Ye Zhongming noticed that the materials that he collected using the skill would be directly dealt with. For example, the 20 claws and the long tongue. after he collected them, they weren’t bloody and became orderly and dry. There was even no more bloody stench and he could use it for enchanting and crafting right away.

Even if he knew that the Glory Smith job was good, but this situation impressed him.

Upgrading this job would be tough but it was really strong!

But Ye Zhongming noticed one weakness. Be it whichever skill, it consumed mental strength.

In the apocalypse, obtaining a job would activate the mental strength mode and using job skills would consume mental energy. Once you consumed it all, you wouldn’t be able to use your job skills.

To replenish mental energy, it either took time to naturally recover. The recovery time was based on the evolution level. Some special skills could recover mental energy quickly too.

The second way is to obtain mental energy potions from the gachapon. As they were often blue in color, survivors called them blue potions. Drinking them could regain mental energy. There were many types of blue potions, some could increase recovery speed, and some instantly recovered. The former was called small blue potions and the latter was big blue potions. Each type was also split into basic, intermediate and advanced.

Apart from that, there was a third way to recover mental energy. Jobs like chefs or chemists could create food or potions that could recover mental energy. Eating such things could help one recover.

Recovery of mental strength was really important but the overall amount was the most important.

There were many ways to increase the total amount and the fastest one was to gain new jobs. Each job would increase it by some amount. For the same person, the mental energy wasn’t split between jobs. No matter which skill you used, it would consume total mental energy. In other words, the more jobs you had, the more energy you had and the more skills you could use. As for which job skill you used, that didn’t matter as long as you didn’t overuse your mental energy.

But jobs in the apocalypse weren’t so easy to obtain. Everyone knew this shortcut but very few people could increase their total mental energy in that way. Thus everyone would choose other methods like evolving which would increase the total amount. Like consuming food or potions which would have the same effect. Increasing the job level would also increase mental energy amount.

Ye Zhongming had two jobs now and his overall mental energy was quite enough for his evolution level and the jobs he held. He had strengthened and enchanted his blade, strengthened a baseball bat and collected these materials. He felt like he had already used up most of his energy.

In his last life, he also had two jobs but even if he used up all his mental energy he could still fight for several hours. As for now, he just used a few skills and he was emptied out.

Seemed like there were many things about jobs that he did not know and he had to spend some time to discover.

He dealt with this lizard and brought Yellow Ball to run towards Mo Ye. This cop had to face two lizards and if she wasn’t careful she would die.

On that side, she was indeed in danger.

In the bathroom, she could use the wall to kite the few Blood Tongue Lizards but to create a chance for Ye Zhongming, she ran to the courts.

This place was open and there was nothing she could rely on. After they caught up, she was surrounded. If not for the baseball bat that could cause them to cry out in pain as well as the kung fu that she had trained since young, her body would have already been split up.

But Mo Ye couldn’t use the bat to kill these two level two lizards. She looked like she couldn’t hold on anymore.

Ye Zhongming managed to rush over at that time and attracted their attention. The leader changed its target and charged Ye Zhongming.
