Apocalypse Gachapon - Chapter 1919: Changxu Water Race's Crazy Choice

“You didn’t say it wrong?”

“No.”

He was very calm. The determination in her eyes told Ye Zhongming she was not joking.

The condition He proposed was to annihilate the Huo’er Star people at a suitable time.

This condition was simple, only seven words, but it struck Ye Zhongming’s heart like a heavy hammer.

Who were the Huo’er Star people? They were the leader of the Huo’er Star Alliance, the strongest in the faction, with the largest population, the most warriors, and the most experts. Their King was one of the few top experts among the cosmic races, one of the most powerful existences.

Even among all the cosmic races, they were among the strongest.

Annihilate such a top race?

Ye Zhongming and the others’ plan was indeed majestic, enough to scare people to death on a planet if spoken aloud, but it didn’t include the intention to wipe out a super major clan completely.

Asking someone who had just stepped into the universe, just completed the Novice trial, to annihilate a super major clan standing at the pinnacle of the universe—this condition was truly crazy enough.

With Ye Zhongming’s current strength, if the King of the Huo’er Star people stood before him and let him attack without fighting back for three days and three nights, he probably still couldn’t kill him.

“Why?” Ye Zhongming had some vague guesses in his heart, but he still wanted a definite answer.

He’s reason took several minutes to explain.

To sum up, it wasn’t really complicated. Essentially, the Huo’er Star people were almost the prime culprit for the Changxu Water Race’s current predicament. Others were at most accomplices, and those who added insult to injury.

Think about it: without a supermajor clan causing trouble behind the scenes, even if the Changxu Water Race’s population was small, their abilities were still there. Due to their special attributes, they maintained very good cooperative relationships with many major clans, employing methods such as intermarriage, making it extremely difficult for ordinary people to move against them.

Not to mention them, just look at the Star-Eye Clan. Their life was very hard, almost facing extinction, but in Ye Zhongming’s view, they were still quite strong and wealthy.

Every race that could still survive on the Survivor Fortresses was not that simple.

It was because the Huo’er Star people had ill intentions towards the Changxu Water Race that this race had its tragic situation today.

To this day, the largest group of enslaved Changxu Water Race people was in the hands of the Huo’er Star people.

At the same time, the largest number of Changxu Water Race people who died were killed by the Huo’er Star.

Compared to the Changxu Water Race’s sworn enemy, the Evil Armor Star people, they hated the Huo’er Star people more.

“I know this is very difficult, and once you show hostility towards the Huo’er Star people, they will definitely not let you off. But…”

He suddenly smiled radiantly.

“We have all pledged allegiance to you. Whether you want to be enemies with the Huo’er Star or not, you have to be now. Especially me…” He pointed playfully at her own nose. “A genius like me, they won’t let go. They wouldn’t dare act openly, but they will definitely try every means to force me to submit. So, boss, you need to be prepared to deal with it.”

Ye Zhongming directly rolled his eyes. He swore to heaven he really didn’t know about this part! Otherwise, forget it. Even if he knew, he probably couldn’t resist the temptation of the Changxu Water Race pledging allegiance to him.

“Here.”

He handed Ye Zhongming a small chip.

“What is this?” Ye Zhongming took it, looked at it, and found it matched the universal device interface used by the cosmic races. It should be a storage device.

“Disconnect your device from the fortress’s transmission.”

Ye Zhongming did as told, then inserted the chip. If he hadn’t looked, it would have been fine, but once he looked, his hand trembled.

This He had startled him twice in a row.

“The first page is the list of all Changxu Water Race clansmen we can currently control. The ones in green at the front are in free status. The ones in white behind are in trapped status.”

“The numbers after each name: the first is age, the middle is the number of holy symbols, and the last is Furelai.”

He looked at Ye Zhongming and said, “The first two items are accurate. The last one changes constantly. The updates for free clansmen are instant. For those trapped clansmen, it can only serve as a reference.”

“The second page lists some assets mastered by our Changxu Water Race. The ones at the front are all good assets. Those below the horizontal line either don’t make much money or have various troubles.”

They had assets? Ye Zhongming resisted and didn’t ask this question aloud. How could a race without even a base have assets? If they had assets, couldn’t they buy a base themselves? Afraid of the Huo’er Star people? That was possible. However, the Changxu Water Race was now almost on the verge of collapse. Couldn’t they rely on these assets to hold on for a while?

As if seeing Ye Zhongming’s question, He explained, “Whether good assets or those problematic assets, we are not touching all the profits now. Regardless of how others investigate, these industries have no connection to our Changxu Water Race; they all belong to other races. There are only two situations where we can use these resources: first, when the clan truly reaches a critical life-or-death moment; in such cases, this is then life-saving money, used only once. Second, when the clan regains vitality, these will then be the future money-making machines.”

Ye Zhongming scanned it. Good assets… There were about several dozen. The number of problematic assets was larger, exceeding three hundred.

It seemed that after being detached from the Changxu Water Race’s management for a long time, many assets had lost control. But this was still impressive. Looking at the content of the first two pages, Ye Zhongming again felt a sense of ‘No race is easy to deal with.’

A ‘dying’ race actually had such a backup plan!

“The third page lists the drugs of four cycles or above currently controlled by the free clansmen, including those passed down. The further back, the more precious.”

Ye Zhongming’s heart pounded as he looked.

These were truly good things. He had personally experienced the high-cycle drugs made by the Changxu Water Race; they were really excellent. Now, he saw their drug reserves…

“The fourth page…”

There was a fourth page!

“The first half contains some secrets we have mastered. They might be worthless, or they might be priceless; it depends on how they are used. The second half contains the locations of several… treasure troves of our clansmen. Inside are some past accumulations. Each location has an inventory on the fifth page.”

There were treasures!

Ye Zhongming felt that even if He now asked him not only to annihilate the Huo’er Star people but also to go annihilate the Reina Star people, he would do it!

Although these treasures, assets, and such might not seem too much to those major clans, for Ye Zhongming, who currently had nothing, it was a huge fortune.

He looked at Ye Zhongming, knowing that this person who might create miracles had, at this moment, truly accepted the Changxu Water Race’s allegiance.

“I have told you all our clan’s secrets and given you all our wealth. But you, how can you guarantee you will fulfill your promises to me?”

Ye Zhongming was stunned. This… seemed really hard to guarantee. The key was that there were too few ways to gain trust that both sides would agree on.

“How about… you marry me?”

He said while smiling.
