Apocalypse Gachapon - Chapter 1959: Notice
The Assault Camp was training, but everyone’s expression was somewhat peculiar.
As members of Dark Strip City, they also had contact with the outside world. The outside world was already in an uproar regarding the discussion about that attack,
But no one believed the Star-Eye Clan did it.
On one hand, everyone now knew the Star-Eye Clan was barely able to manage its own affairs, only relying on the rewards from first place in the Novice battlefield to survive barely. The resources they obtained were further depleted by the survivor fortress’s movement this time. Although reopening their shop had given them some recent limelight, discerning people could easily see they hadn’t made any real progress.
Why was that said? Because everyone knew that Ye Zhongming, who had taken over as the Bronze Order Leader, had a good relationship with the Changxu Water Race people. It wasn’t impossible for him to obtain an eight-turn medicine from them. As for the Red Condensation grade equipment, didn’t Ye Zhongming receive seven pieces? Taking one out for auction wasn’t a bad idea. The remaining six pieces would probably be sold off slowly in the future to maintain the Star-Eye Clan’s operations.
Furthermore, all signs indicated that the Star-Eye Clan’s three main combat teams had simply stayed within their clan and not come out.
Another reason not to believe the Star-Eye Clan did it was that the auction was about to be held. At this critical juncture, one would have to be incredibly foolhardy to invite such trouble.
Therefore, no one believed the Star-Eye Clan did it.
The more this was the case, the more excited the Assault Camp warriors became. But this excitement couldn’t be shown openly, so their peculiar expressions were no stranger than usual.
Another thing that made them happy was that their Bronze Order Leader was improving their equipment.
The equipment they were given before was already good enough, and they knew the quality. That equipment was at least at the level of the Taros Red Dwarves’ Common grade. Previously, the Star-Eye Clan didn’t have many such things. Even if they did, they had to be prioritized for the Gold and Silver teams; it wasn’t their turn yet.
But now, the Bronze Order Leader was personally making improvements. Judging from some of the already-improved equipment, it has absolutely approached the standard of Ke Steel grade.
How could this not excite them? Equipment of this grade was only standard issue for the teams of major races!
After this period in the Assault Camp, these seventy people felt a completely different experience.
Everyone knew this choice had probably rewritten their lives.
Ye Zhongming’s proficiency in manufacturing was rapidly improving—not in the aspect of wheel technology, but in that of the universe’s races.
The combination of the two technologies had opened a brand new door for him.
As he mastered various types of knowledge and his proficiency increased, he might still not be able to create overly powerful combined equipment, but the Ke Steel grade level no longer posed a difficulty for him.
This was almost Jikesu’s highest level. The old man, while surprised, couldn’t help but sigh at this new Order Leader’s exceptional talent.
His technology had advanced, but a problem lay before him: if he wanted to continue improving, he needed extensive manufacturing, practice, and even various experiments that he knew might fail.
This was not a small expense.
Jikesu’s talent was also excellent. Why had he remained at this level into his old age after all these years? It was because the Star-Eye Clan couldn’t provide him with too many materials for practice and experimentation. And the reason Ye Zhongming could improve so quickly was precisely because he had exchanged for a large amount of various grade equipment from the Novice store to study!
However, he couldn’t rest on his laurels either. Apart from the portions given to the Changxu Water Race, Helsky, and others, and the usage during this period, the Novice rewards were almost depleted.
This was an important reason Ye Zhongming launched the ambush.
The harvest was naturally not small.
During a break from manufacturing equipment, he was summoned by the two Clan Leaders.
Others didn’t know the Assault Camp carried out this attack, but the two Clan Leaders certainly knew. They called Ye Zhongming this time to ask how to handle these items.
“You keep the materials for your own use. What about the equipment? Although the grade isn’t high, they all have distinct characteristics. Whether we use them ourselves or sell them, it will expose that we did it.”
Star Leader looked at Ye Zhongming with a smile, very satisfied.
What satisfied him wasn’t the success of the ambush, but that not a single person died.
Ye Zhongming thought for a moment. The number of these illicit pieces of equipment wasn’t large —only a few hundred. They were similar to the Taros Red Dwarves’ Common grade. He had checked them before; measured by Earth’s standards, they were slightly better than Gold equipment.
Ke Steel grade was somewhat higher than the level of Purple equipment. As for Red Condensation grade, it certainly couldn’t compare to seven-colored equipment, but it was considerably stronger than Purple equipment. He hadn’t seen the subsequent Raini grade and Lie God grade, so he couldn’t comment.
Of course, wheel equipment and the equipment of the universe’s races had fundamental differences. The former emphasized skills, the latter emphasized functions. Each had its merits, and could only be roughly compared; they couldn’t be lumped together.
“When will the clan begin selecting the latest spokesperson?”
Ye Zhongming suddenly asked a question.
Star Leader looked at Ye Zhongming and said, “You mean…”
Ye Zhongming knew the other understood and nodded. “We agreed before that I would get one spokesperson slot and all five entry passes. If possible, I hope to confirm the spokesperson soon—the current leader of the force belonging to me on my home planet.”
“Can the entry passes be issued at any time?”
“The entry passes can be used at any time. The spokesperson must be registered with the clan, which requires completing certain procedures. But don’t worry, these aren’t problems. The universe’s races don’t regulate this too strictly, as long as you have the slot in hand.”
This time, it was Eye Leader who spoke.
“As for how to select, how to contact afterwards, and the transmission of equipment, there are fixed rules and locations. Someone will guide you through these matters when the time comes. It’s just…”
Eye Leader looked at Ye Zhongming and said, “I know you want to channel these equipment pieces that can’t be openly used through the agent channel to your home planet. But you need to know, because the Slave Race is occupying it, transmitting items requires consuming Moonspan Gold. There are quite a number of these equipment pieces, so the cost of transmission will naturally be large. The cost-effectiveness might even be low; it’s possible to lose money.”
Ye Zhongming nodded to show he understood, but insisted on doing it this way.
“Don’t worry, two Clan Leaders. With me here, if I can establish contact with my subordinates on my home planet and guide them to take targeted actions, our harvest will definitely be much greater.”
Hearing Ye Zhongming say this, the two Clan Leaders no longer objected. It was agreed upon anyway, and Ye Zhongming would bear the costs himself.
“By the way, there’s a letter for you. Take it back and read it.”
Star Leader handed Ye Zhongming an exquisite crystal envelope. He took it and gently wiped the surface. A watery, circular frame appeared on the crystal cover, and the reflection of Ye Zhongming’s head was imprinted on it.
As if this were the key, the crystal cover slowly opened left and right amid a piece of melodious music, revealing a beautifully crafted sheet of letter paper.
Ye Zhongming looked at it and discovered it was actually a notification letter.
