Apocalypse Gachapon

“You got me down to do all this?”

She squatted on the ground to cover the exposed parts. She looked at the busy guy in disbelief.

Ye Zhongming was repairing her armor.

Repairing and crafting were different. It was something that a Smith had to figure out and understand.

Crafting things needed job skills and a blueprint, which was quite strict and standard.

But repairing was different. It tested the Smith’s understanding of equipment and materials and job familiarity.

You couldn’t add fire element materials if you repaired water element equipment. You also had to select things that could merge with it and control when you added the materials.

Anyways, repairing equipment wasn’t tough for smiths familiar with the skill. The difficulty would be understanding the equipment’s points. That would waste time. It would take even more effort for an ordinary Smith, and they couldn’t fix it perfectly.

So no matter which Smith it was, if the conditions allowed it, they rather remake a piece of equipment than repair one.

Ye Zhongming had such a thought, but after carrying Gan Lan down, he checked the equipment and saw that it was what he needed. He changed his thoughts and decided to repair it for her.

“What do you think?”

He glanced at the shivering woman and stopped. He took a red bracelet and tossed it to her.

These were soul artifacts that he crafted to try things out. It wasn’t very powerful but gave off the fire element's energy. As long as you don’t activate the equipment's ability, you can use it as a heat source.

“Yi, good stuff.” Gan Lan was close to breaking down, but she felt much better. She was in a much better mood, especially after finding out what she had to do.

She wore the bracelet and felt much warmer. Most of the cold air was blocked, so there was no bone-chilling feeling near the entrance.

But she suddenly realized that Ye Zhongming was talking to her with disdain.

“I know I am not strong, but you need me, right? Don’t act like I am negligible!”

Ye Zhongming told Gan Lan to do what she did previously as a guide for Ye Zhongming.

To Gan Lan, that was her value.

“You…” Ye Zhongming hesitated and said, “Although you aren’t negligible, you provided first-hand information. Even without you, it won’t affect the situation much.”

Gan Lan’s mouth was agape, and she looked at the guy, who was focusing on her armor. She had an urge to rush over and bite his face.

Compared to him doing so on purpose, it felt more depressing when someone told the truth.

“Stop bragging. You could pay 10% to me. If I was really useless, would you do that?”

Ye Zhongming was slightly impressed.

The fact that she could think that proved that she wasn’t brainless.

Speaking of which, he couldn’t help but glance at the part she was trying to hide but couldn’t fully do so. It was indeed quite big.

Apart from Xia Lei and Miya, no one else was her match.

“What you say makes sense, and I can tell you why.” He added some materials to her armor, and the Scorching Flame Technique appeared. It melted the materials and added them in. The holes in the armor that he used another material to fill up had a slight light that shone as it was repaired.

This made Gan Lan walk forward.

She saw that the area around the guy was warmer, so she took two more steps.

“Be careful.” He stared at the armor, and his hands didn’t stop, “Be more careful; 10% to exchange for more safety is better than dying here from an accident.”

Gan Lan kept silent and mumbled that he was just afraid of dying.

Ye Zhongming heard it, but he ignored her.

He never denied that he was afraid to die. People who denied it didn’t mean that they weren’t afraid of death. He had died once and knew that only when you lived would you have limitless possibilities. If you died, nothing would be left…

Moments later, the armor that was about to be destroyed shone bright. An equipment different from before appeared in Ye Zhongming’s hands.

Ye Zhonmging really recreated this thing, and it was a brand-new piece of equipment.

Ye Zhongming looked at the female armor, which was now blue and pouted.

He was surprised that he could increase its level.

Ye Zhongming didn’t add any country products and used stored materials with Ghost Metal as the base and other materials. He also used the method to create soul artifacts to repair it.

He didn’t expect it to level up and become a blue piece of equipment.

Ye Zhongming only had one thought when repairing it. He wanted to increase flame element abilities in the equipment.

This equipment was flame element previously. Gan Lan probably paid a high price to get it, which was another reason Ye Zhongming didn’t throw it away.

This aspect of the equipment became stronger after he modified it.

It was as simple as countering the low temperatures here. The low temperature wasn’t the only problem here; there were also those ice bugs and those Frost Monsters, which this armor had to face.

Although Ye Zhongming said he got Gan Lan down just to be safe, it was true. With one more person he was familiar with, that person could help him and help remind him.

Since that was the case, he had to ensure her safety.

It protected her from the low temperature and had a strong defense.
