Apocalypse Gachapon Chapter 2203: You have grown up
Previously on Apocalypse Gachapon...
Everyone understood what Ye Zhongming was saying.
The White Dragon Horse's Furelai was originally just over 55,000, more than 40,000 away from 100,000.
Previously, this had naturally been a gap so large that it made them despair. But after this trial, it was no longer such a wish.
According to the consistent increase in reward points, the total reward points for this trial would be estimated to be between 8,000 and 10,000. The three of them—Ye Zhongming, White Robe, and Jie Su—had obtained a total of over 4,000 points. That meant the White Dragon Horse would get at least 4,000 points. If it was lucky enough, it might even reach 6,000 points!
At the current exchange ratio of 1:4, that could be exchanged for nearly 25,000 Furelai points. Adding the points it could exchange from its previous remaining points, about 2,000 points, and adding its original Furelai of just over 55,000, it would be just over 20,000 short of a great expert.
It all depended on how many Furelai points it obtained this time!
"I know what you're worried about. It's nothing more than the wastage issue with transferring Furelai." Ye Zhongming smiled.
He also knew that both his brothers believed that, between a master and a war beast, the master should come first. Cultivation was not easy. Ye Zhongming's progress had already been extremely fast. If he transferred his Furelai to the White Dragon Horse as he intended, he would have to cultivate again, and he might not be able to progress at the same pace.
This was not a simple issue. Just because you had increased your Furelai by 1,000 points in the previous month did not mean you could increase it at the same rate again. It was very likely that the efficiency would decrease.
"But I think the closeness between the White Dragon Horse and me should not be too much of a problem," Ye Zhongming said, looking at his points. Then he added, "And there's another point you haven't considered."He pointed at Jie Su, then at the White Dragon Horse, and said, "When Jie Su advanced to great expert, he did not encounter any bottleneck or obstacle. So can we hypothesize that once the White Dragon Horse's Furelai exceeds 100,000 here, it can also ignore that side effect?"
Jie Su, White Robe, and even the White Dragon Horse were all stunned. They really hadn't thought that far before.
White Robe stroked his chin and said, "Jie Su had no obstacle to advancement because everything was normal with him. But the White Dragon Horse has side effects after taking the drug... that's different, isn't it?"
Ye Zhongming nodded, then shook his head. "Of course it's possible that even if it exceeds 100,000, it still might not become a great expert. But I think the description of the Reverse Narrative Battle Agent says that, as you gradually evolve to this node, the breakthrough will become exceptionally difficult. What is a breakthrough? It means breaking through the 100,000 Furelai line. But here, we can directly add points to it. So I believe that having the White Dragon Horse break through to great expert here will very likely not need to worry about that side effect at all. That is still better than us having to find every possible way to solve it for it after we go out."
"Even if it doesn't work, the White Dragon Horse is our companion. If it becomes stronger, it will be of great help to us as well."
After Ye Zhongming said this, the White Dragon Horse suddenly flapped a wing and said arrogantly, "Don't think that just because you said this, I will increase the closeness with you."
Almost as soon as the White Dragon Horse spoke, a number appeared on the Eternal Grace in Ye Zhongming's hand— closeness: 78.
And after the White Dragon Horse said that sentence, this number suddenly jumped and became 80.
Jie Su and White Robe chuckled on the side. The White Dragon Horse turned its body sideways, deciding not to talk to annoying people.
Eternal Grace cost Ye Zhongming a full 1,200 points. After this, his points remained at 2,688.
The price of 1,200 points meant that Eternal Grace was at least a Raini-grade item.
Ye Zhongming then spent another 150 points to exchange for the equipment needed for repairs this time and recovery potions, leaving him with 2,538 points. Ye Zhongming directly exchanged all of them for Furelai, gaining 10,152 points. His Furelai points now became 40,576!
White Robe did a quick calculation in his mind, sighed, and said, "You bastard, over these few trials, you've increased your own Furelai by nearly 400 points. Are you even human?"
As White Robe made this unusual compliment, the final image among the three people and one dragon appeared—the White Dragon Horse, flapping its wings, the image very vivid. Its points quickly jumped and finally stopped at 5,871.
Although this number did not reach the 6,000 points everyone had thought, it was still quite good.
And the White Dragon Horse's Furelai points were also displayed after the reward points: 55,630.
The White Dragon Horse looked at Ye Zhongming. The meaning was obvious: what should I do now?
"Since we've decided, then exchange all of them for Furelai," Ye Zhongming said casually.
The White Dragon Horse obeyed and exchanged all 5,871 points for Furelai. Thus, its total Furelai points stopped at 79,114.
Now, the question was: should Ye Zhongming take the risk and transfer his Furelai to the White Dragon Horse this time, or wait until after the next round?
There were pros and cons to each option.
The advantage of doing it now was that if the consumption during the transfer was not too great, the White Dragon Horse could become a great expert this time. In the next round of challenges, the small team would have two great experts, and they should be able to easily survive.
The disadvantage was that if the consumption was a bit high due to closeness, and even after Ye Zhongming transferred his Furelai it was still not enough, not only would the White Dragon Horse fail to become a great expert, but Ye Zhongming would also fall into an extreme state of weakness.
"We'll talk about it after the next round is over," the White Dragon Horse said actively. "I feel much stronger now."
It moved its wings slightly, feeling the sudden increase in strength in its body.
"I think we should be able to get through the next round," the White Dragon Horse said, surprisingly speaking quite a lot. "That way, after the next round, when my points are exchanged for Furelai, I will have more than I do now. Master... the Furelai that the master needs to transfer to me will not be as much as it is now... Try to make sure the impact on him is not that great."
Ye Zhongming smiled and patted his war beast. "You've finally grown up."
The White Dragon Horse immediately turned its rear end toward him.
Everything was settled. The three people and one dragon were again pulled into the second round of the third stage of trials.
………………
"Did you feel that?"
In the pitch-black cave, a giant black shadow said in a deep voice. As it spoke, something like metal clanging clattered.
"Someone has advanced," answered a hoarse voice. But the position of this voice was a bit strange, as if coming from a place very close to the ground.
"It seems the divine trials have already begun, and someone has obtained benefits," said the first voice, taking a step forward. The entire mountain mass seemed to let out a loud rumble.
"We must... stop them. We cannot let them continue," said the second voice, somewhat progressively, but the viciousness and urgency within it were obvious to anyone.
"The divine trials... belong to us."
The voice echoed in the cave, and even some of it penetrated into that mountain belly. Unfortunately, Ye Zhongming had temporarily left. Otherwise, he would have been very surprised.
Because... it was Chinese...
