Apocalypse Gachapon

Chapter 24: Second job gardener



Chapter 24: Second job gardener

The Gardener job and Glory Smith job were very similar. They all had more than one skill. But as compared to Glory Smith which had a prefix, the gardener only had two skills.

Cultivate and activate.

Cultivate, as its name suggested, would be to nurture a plant from a seed state and take care of it as it sprouts and grows. As it was a job skill, the cultivation speed and effect would be different from natural growth and it would be much more efficient. Moreover, some surprising effects might occur.

Activation was a way to control plants and its effects come in many sorts. But there was one certain thing that was that they could help gardeners complete various things and was slightly magical.

Ye Zhongming was someone that had been through the apocalypse and he knew what it was like to live in it. It was a time when one had to open their eyes even when sleeping. A time when one had to worry about food and water and also had to face all sorts of dangers.

Among them, mutated plants caught one off guard. They killed people without any sign and when they got stronger, they weren’t any weaker than those monsters or mutated humans. They were even stronger than them.

In his last life, Ye Zhongming saw a Sycamore Tree that was long evolved and the tree was three hundred meters tall and as thick as a skyscraper. Its crown was able to cover an entire city! Be it nine star evolved humans or monsters from the dungeons, they all tried to avoid this giant tree. Some bold mutated beings or beasts weren’t able to walk out the moment they entered the range of the tree. After a long while, this tree was called the Heaven Tree.

Ye Zhongming looked at the tree from afar once and just one look made him feel like his soul was being sucked out of his body. After looking aside, he was covered in sweat and his mind suffered from a giant hit. It took him two days of rest to heal up. One could imagine how terrifying it was for others who got close or entered its range.

From that, one could see how important and strong mutated plants were.

If one’s gardening level was high, one could cultivate or control mutated plants and the increase in one’s strength was easy to see.

Taking a step back, even if one planted normal plants like fruits and vegetables, that was good too. In the initial stages of the apocalypse, apart from obtaining food from low level gachapons, the food problem was an obvious one. Food basically expired and there weren’t any crops. Humans weren’t able to fight other races so there were many who starved to death. Only later on did humans get strong enough to kill mutated beasts and monsters were they able to consume their meat for food.

Even so, fresh fruits were a luxury. The good taste and vitamins meant that fruits and vegetables were as valuable as gold and diamonds.

Gardener, even if it was used to plant these, could help one exchange for huge riches.

After understanding this job, Ye Zhongming realised that this was a great secondary job. To an extent, it was no weaker that Glory Smith which had such a beautiful prefix.

Although the path to getting strong plant seeds was narrow, one could only get them from mutated plants or from dungeons, and one could only nurture normal seeds, but after seeing the introduction, Ye Zhongming was determined to learn this job.

A magical energy surged into him and Ye Zhongming became a gardener.

Ye Zhongming looked at the two regions on the badge as well as the zero skill familiarity, he wanted to test it out right away.

He didn’t have seeds so he couldn’t cultivate so the only skill he could use was Activate.

He saw several flower pots at the window. There was clivia, rose and lucky bamboo. He got close and used activate on the clivia.

After the skill familiarity increased by one, the leaves grew slightly bigger. Those fat leaves slapped at the window and the thin glass was shattered.

This change shocked Ye Zhongming. A moment later, Ye Zhongming used Activate on the lucky bamboo. The thirty centimeter branches grew much longer and the leaves were a round larger. The bamboo shook left and right and it actually started to bear flowers. They matured and formed white small seeds which shot out. Apart from Ye Zhongming who caused all this, everywhere else was attacked. Although it wasn’t strong but it was quite scary.

He blinked before using Activate on the rose. This change was even larger. A gap cracked from the middle of the flower and it opened like a mouth to show ‘teeth’. Who knew what material it was but the clivia was right beside the teeth. It didn’t hold back and just bit down half of its leaves. It chewed twice and the green flower juice flowed out from its mouth.

This was a small sized chomper!

Ye Zhongming looked at the activated rose and shouted.

He touched his chin and had some conclusions after using Activation thrice.

Firstly, the activated plants had some attack strength. As for what type it was, it had to do with the plant.

Next, the plants had a connection with Ye Zhongming. Although he couldn’t control them, but they won’t attack him.

Finally, after observing for a while, these activated plants didn’t maintain this state. After using up the energy that Ye Zhongming injected into their bodies, they would die and wither. It seemed like not only would the activation consume the gardener’s mental strength, it would also consume the plant’s life force. At least for the current beginner stage.

When looking at the introduction, Ye Zhongming saw that he could activate some low level mutated plants as a beginner gardener. With his current performance, those activated plants could fight for him for a short time and that actually exceeded the scope of a secondary job.

This was a decent job. Ye Zhongming smiled in satisfaction.

The three colored wheel lost its color and there was only one black color on the board. It didn’t disappear so it probably only would when someone spun it.

Who knew which unlucky person would spin this wheel that would surely bring him death.

Ye Zhongming thought about it and decided to warn the next person. He carved an arrow and wrote the words 'Be careful'. He hoped that people who find this wouldn’t be so foolish to spin it just because it was a gachapon. contemporary romance

After writing that, he left the broadcast studio. After looking around, he headed slowly toward the tennis court.

If things were as expected, the Secret Realm Key should be inside.
