Apocalypse Gachapon - Chapter 1887: Shameless

The Novices present were all a bit stunned.

What? Ye Zhongming? Taros Red Dwarves?

Wasn’t he fighting as a representative of the Star-Eye Clan?

That was, in fact, the case, because on the ranking list, that’s what was displayed! It had been four small cycles already!

Why were these Taros Red Dwarves here asking this question?

The two remaining Gurui Star Race warriors were also confused.

What did this mean? Had they been fighting for so long, with points nearly reaching ten thousand, only for there to be a dispute over the warrior’s affiliation? They suddenly found it somewhat amusing.

After the initial shock, the Novices immediately realized the challenging nature of this question.

First, on matters of affiliation like this, no race among the cosmic races would take it lightly, because it involved many issues, the most enticing being points.

The number of points involved how much benefit each race could obtain. Currently, Ye Zhongming was ranked first among all Novices. Even if the Star-Eye Clan’s points were added during the final settlement and he wouldn’t be at the very top, he would certainly be near the forefront. It was undeniable that the Taros Red Dwarves were far more powerful than the Star-Eye Clan. The points of these three would be higher, and adding Ye Zhongming’s, they might even have a chance to get first place!

Such temptation, even for these very, very wealthy dwarves, wouldn’t be easily abandoned.

Second, the temptation of an excellent warrior.

Someone who could rank first in the Novice battlefield must have something special about them. Their personal strength was certainly strong. In other aspects, like judgment of the situation, grasp of timing, combat mentality, and experience against enemies, they must all be top-notch.

Such a person, with a little training, had a much higher chance of becoming a talent than others.

Throughout the universe’s races, there had been numerous examples demonstrating that those who achieved first place during their Novice period eventually became top-tier existences among the various races.

Not to mention others, among the three major factions, the leaders of two factions were once Novice first-place holders. Just look at the Gurui Star Race standing nearby; their Second Elder, next only to the Great Elder, the future successor of the race, had also once taken the top spot in the Novice battlefield.

Finally, it involved a little bit of a face issue. The Taros Red Dwarves’ influence was much stronger than the Star-Eye Clan’s. For a person to actually fight under the latter’s name, how could these proud dwarves stand it?

For all these reasons, these people were likely here to demand an explanation. If they didn’t get what they wanted, they might become three additional powerful opponents.

Opponents even stronger than the Gurui Star Race!

There was no helping it; their individual strength might not match these tree-men, but their equipment was good, and they brought all kinds of machinery, like this huge robot and battle vehicle, which were two very famous combat tools of the Taros Red Dwarves.

One was called Mujin, a support combat power bestowed only upon Three-Braid Warriors among the Taros Red Dwarves. Warriors of this level were basically equivalent to the Golden Mask Warriors of the Star-Eye Clan. It was naturally impossible to have a strong warrior like a Three-Braid Warrior in the Novice battlefield, so only one possibility remained: the person possessing the Mujin had potential recognized by the entire Taros Red Dwarf race and was a future hope-star.

Such a person was bound to be very powerful.

The other was called the Cliff Chariot, a tool issued only to mature squads. One ability was all-terrain mobility, which made up for the dwarves’ deficiency in this aspect. The other ability was combat power; it was a battle vehicle first, and a vehicle second.

Possessing both Mujin and the Cliff Chariot indicated that the Taros Red Dwarves placed special importance on this operation. These dwarves, rich from providing equipment to all the myriad races in the universe, would certainly be happy and excited to get the top reward of this Novice battlefield, but that was just adding flowers to brocade; it wouldn’t be a situation like the Star-Eye Clan facing annihilation if they didn’t get it.

In other words, they came here to fight for face, specifically for Ye Zhongming’s affiliation.

If they didn’t get the answer they wanted, these people might really not mind eliminating the Cloud Peak King.

He and Ji Ruiguang exchanged a glance and instantly decided they must defuse the situation. It would be best not only to stabilize these three dwarves but also to get them on their side.

As for what to say, Ji Ruiguang had already thought it through. He would say that Ye Zhongming was currently severely injured and recovering. Once he woke up, he would definitely make a decision satisfactory to the several gentlemen. However, the two Gurui Star Race members before them posed a threat to Ye Zhongming and had been pursuing him all along. Even though Ye Zhongming had revealed that his relationship with the Taros Red Dwarves was close, he didn’t receive any preferential treatment and was instead attacked even more fiercely. Look, could they deal with these two treants first?

Although it might not necessarily persuade the three dwarves, Ji Ruiguang felt it was very worth a try, with a high chance of success. That would truly turn death into life for everyone.

Ji Ruiguang took a step forward, intending to use his negotiation skills to persuade the three dwarves. But before he could speak, he heard someone behind him speak first.

“You were looking for me?”

The other Novices stepped aside to make way. Ye Zhongming, who had been resting with his eyes closed to recover from his injuries, had woken up at some unknown time and was walking out slowly from the crowd.

Seeing his calm and serious expression, He was a bit worried and softly told him to stay calm, urging Ye Zhongming to recognize the situation.

Ye Zhongming nodded, understanding He’s good intentions, and signaled for her to rest assured.

The three Taros Red Dwarves looked at Ye Zhongming, their eyes first lighting up, but their attitude remained unchanged as they said, “You have a chance to become our spokesperson again and complete this Novice battlefield.”

Ye Zhongming nodded, which made the Taros Red Dwarves very happy, thinking this Earthling was quite sensible. The other Novices also breathed a sigh of relief. Although this seemed somewhat spineless, compared to life, what was spine? Everyone was already struggling against two Gurui Star Race members; if they provoked three fully intact Taros Red Dwarves on top of that, they would really be in deep trouble.

“Back on Earth, even if I wasn’t the number one expert on the planet, I could definitely rank in the top three. I have basically completed all the tasks you issued. Why couldn’t I get an admission ticket from you?”

Ye Zhongming’s words made the atmosphere, which had just relaxed, suddenly become tense again.

Was this… a challenge?

The few Taros Red Dwarves were also taken aback, not expecting this person to bring this up in such a setting openly.

“We didn’t give you one, naturally, because you didn’t meet our requirements. There must have been some aspect where you fell short.”

“Then why ask me to come over now?”

“Because your current performance has met our requirements.”

Ye Zhongming chuckled.

He turned to the surrounding Novices and said, “How shameless do you have to be to say something like that?”
