Apocalypse Gachapon - Chapter 2005: Getting much stronger

When they returned to the Star-Eye Clan, just after entering the underground castle, the two Clan Leaders had someone summon Ye Zhongming. Entering the room, he saw almost all the high-level members of the Star-Eye Clan were there.
The two Star-Eye Clan Leaders, Gold Order Leader Cheng Liujin, Silver Order Leader White Robe, Chief Technique Officer Jikesu, Chief Training Officer Ba Shilu, Chief Logistics Officer Ya Shinan, and the future successor Aslan.
“It’s really great to see you still alive.” White Robe raised his eyebrows. Although it sounded like a joke, everyone could sense a thread of killing intent in his tone.
Ye Zhongming was now the treasure of the entire Star-Eye Clan. He was actually openly assassinated in Starfall City. If Jie Su hadn’t been there, if six golden-masked warriors hadn’t desperately protected him, this treasure wouldn’t have returned this time.
If Ye Zhongming died, then the hope of the Star-Eye Clan would be gone. What awaited them would be the shattering of hope, leading to the clan’s extermination.
So they couldn’t not take this matter seriously.
The surviving golden-masked warrior didn’t dare not report such a major event. After following Ye Zhongming in, he sat in a corner, head bowed, not speaking.
He had actually received Ye Zhongming’s instruction not to discuss these matters, but after thinking it over, he didn’t dare conceal them.
Ye Zhongming didn’t mind too much. After sitting down, while drinking water, he said, “Rest assured, I’m fine. Although we don’t know yet who wanted to kill me, the incident itself isn’t actually strange, right? After all, we killed so many people on the Novice battlefield. How could their races swallow that anger? Even if the races don’t appear, the relatives and friends of those killed have sufficient reason to attack me.”
“Individuals don’t have the ability or courage to act in Starfall City.” Cheng Liujin shook his head, knowing Ye Zhongming was deliberately downplaying it to avoid worrying everyone.
“Don’t worry, the Su Clan promised to investigate and will inform me of the results. The decision to conceal this matter was also one we reached after discussion, mainly to prevent the major clans from intervening. Who knows what might happen during the investigation? On my home planet, there’s a saying: ‘It’s easy to invite the gods but hard to send them away.’ That’s the principle.”
Everyone thought about it and understood Ye Zhongming’s meaning. The Star-Eye Clan was the victim, that was undeniable. If an investigation were to happen, it would inevitably be led by the super major clans and major clans. But… who knows if those assassins have any relationship with them? If they were unlucky enough to encounter a situation in which the police were also the thieves, what would happen would be hard to say.
“But just letting it go is ultimately uncomfortable, and we’re afraid you can’t swallow this anger.” Jikesu had a good relationship with Ye Zhongming, so it was more appropriate for him to say some things.
Ye Zhongming smiled, “It’s nothing on my side. I can only blame myself for not being strong enough. If I could crush a survivor fortress with one hand, then probably no one would dare provoke me.”
White Robe, Aslan, and other younger people laughed upon hearing this. White Robe said, “There is no ‘probably,’ they definitely wouldn’t dare provoke you. I’d also have to stay far away from you to avoid being crushed by you.”
This time, everyone in the room laughed.
“I think you will have that day one day.” Eye Lord suddenly said, making everyone stop laughing and look at him, not quite understanding.
“Haven’t you noticed this kid’s strength has greatly increased in less than twenty days?”
Only then did everyone look Ye Zhongming up and down. White Robe directly pulled Ye Zhongming to a Furelai precision tester that happened to be nearby and insisted Ye Zhongming take a test.
Ye Zhongming had no choice but to obey. However, he held back a little, afraid that showing too much growth would raise suspicions.
However, the final value of just over 5,100 still shocked everyone.
This was Ye Zhongming’s value in his normal state! Everyone knew this guy’s peak combat power was during his transformation, usually considered to double his Furelai, with his strength even reaching three times that.
That meant, once Ye Zhongming transformed, his Furelai would surely exceed ten thousand!
How long had it been since he came up from his home planet? At full power, he already had over ten thousand Furelai? He had already reached the level of a Silver Mask Warrior.
If you added his strange and powerful abilities, then he basically equivalent to a Gold Mask Warrior.
After the surprise came heartfelt joy.
Ye Zhongming truly did not fail their expectations; his growth was really fast.
Moreover, this wasn’t achieved by hard work alone, but was the result of comprehensive development in various aspects.
The new look of the Bronze Camp, the reopening of the clan shop, and the talent he showed in manufacturing all indicated that he was developing comprehensively.
Only knowing how to fight, at most makes one a tactical talent. Someone like Ye Zhongming is a strategic talent.
The Star-Eye Clan desperately needed a standout figure to shoulder the heavy responsibility now.
Ye Zhongming was also very satisfied with the test value. He estimated privately that if he used all his strength, his Furelai should be around six thousand. Also, he was currently in the stage of digesting the ‘nutrition’ he brought from the Book Collection Palace. In the coming days, he should continue to grow rapidly.
“For the Novice reward, there is a shop in the commercial center of the largest city here. I think we can use it as a branch of the clan shop. Send someone recently to take over and renovate it.”
Ye Zhongming sat back down, knowing it was time to discuss his matters. This return to the Star-Eye Clan was very brief; he needed to finish preparations quickly and then go to the Su Clan.
“In that case, all profits there belong to you; the clan won’t take any.” The two Lords looked at each other and said together.
That place was originally Ye Zhongming’s private property. That he could offer it to support the clan’s reputation was already very good. Moreover, most of the items inside would also need to be provided by Ye Zhongming; the Star-Eye Clan’s contribution was really not much.
But Ye Zhongming shook his head and said, “Let’s split it 20/80. The clan needs to manage it and send some guards. I’ll just take a little advantage.”
The others didn’t say anything more upon hearing this. Even if the clan only took twenty percent of the net profit, it was still a gain.
“Also, for the other rewarded agricultural land, can I choose near Darkstrip City?” Ye Zhongming asked again.
“Yes, if you really want to choose near Darkstrip City, we might even be able to negotiate about the area.”
Cheng Liujin said, “Darkstrip City isn’t a major city, and there are no major clans inside. The surrounding land isn’t too tight. If you choose an empty plot, it’s actually possible to get a larger area, but it requires spending some Moonspan Gold.”
Ye Zhongming’s eyes lit up. Was there such a good thing? He wasn’t temporarily short on Moonspan Gold now. If he could purchase a large tract of land, then in the future…
In his heart, following Cheng Liujin’s words, a bold idea emerged.
