Doomsday Roulette

“Golden-coated body?”

“It sounds pretty good, increases strength, increases defense.”

“I remember there’s a zombie with a similar talent skill.”

Ye Zhongming immediately interjected, “Yes, the horror of that type of zombie seems to have been witnessed by someone; it’s almost indestructible. This is the same as that zombie’s talent skill.”

Almost all types of mutated zombies exist in Ying City, and the choker that attacked Cloud Summit Villa came from Ying City. It’s not surprising that someone has seen this before; it only highlights the power of this skill.

While everyone was discussing, Young Master Yun and Shasha looked at Ye Zhongming with a different expression.

The two of them had participated in the zombie tide battle and personally witnessed how much trouble the grade 4 choker’s golden-coated body caused for the survivors. Now, with Ye Zhongming producing a similar skill scroll, they couldn’t help but think that there must be a connection. Could this man really strip abilities from zombies?

If that’s the case, it would be terrifying.

However, they quickly dismissed the thought. If that were true, then everyone at Cloud Summit Villa should already possess skills.

But this method, which even they couldn’t comprehend, made them realize once again how powerful and mysterious this man was.

“What’s the price?” Bai Feng’s eyes lit up; this skill was tailor-made for him!

Bai Feng’s profession was ‘Bronze Fist’—a powerful style of boxing—with the professional skill being to increase defense and the power of his punches. The previous decision to sell his white weapon was partly due to the fact that he didn’t use weapons.

Now, seeing the golden-coated body, Bai Feng felt more excited than anyone else present. Once he gained this skill, both his defense and strength would be greatly enhanced. It was almost like a free upgrade to his professional skill. If the power was significant, it might even be more than one upgrade. So, when his profession advanced in the future, the power of his professional skill would definitely surpass that of survivors at the same level!

Thus, the boss of the Renxing Battle Team, the top person in Ying City, eagerly began to inquire about the price.

Bai Feng had already made up his mind to obtain it at all costs, willing to pay any price. He even thought… if what he had on hand couldn’t satisfy this man, he wouldn’t mind doing something morally questionable in peacetime!

“Everyone, start bidding. If I’m satisfied, I’ll make the trade.”

Ye Zhongming patted the scroll in his hand, making many people’s hearts race, fearing that he would accidentally break it and lose the chance to learn it.

For the moment, everyone fell silent, internally weighing the value of this skill and contemplating the cost they would need to pay to acquire this skill scroll.

“One bottle of two-star evolution elixir.”

Finally, someone couldn’t hold back any longer; the bid was for a two-star evolution elixir that hadn’t been offered for the professional scroll earlier.

This didn’t mean that this skill was better than a profession; it was simply because Ye Zhongming had made it very clear what this skill was, leading those in need to feel it was of high value. It was easy to understand why someone would offer a high price.

This price was already quite high; even Bai Feng raised his eyebrows and glanced at the bidder, internally considering whether to deal with this person or that young man.

“Unless it’s a three-star elixir, I don’t need evolution elixirs.” Surprisingly, Ye Zhongming shook his head in rejection.

Skills are indeed more valuable than evolution elixirs; people from previous lives all knew this. In fact, good skills can be worth as much as high-level evolution elixirs above seven stars. After all, magic crystals can ultimately be acquired with perseverance, luck, and helpers, but skill scrolls are truly something that is encountered rather than sought after.
