Ye Zhongming had a low status in his last life and was an average evolved. If not for his Shooter job and a green sniper rifle that gave him good ranged damage, he would have fallen to the bottom of the apocalypse.
So when he heard the news regarding the higher levels, these things were basically legends. They were also explosive news that had spread through many layers to get to his ears.
Some were exaggerated by others, so they left him a deep impression. Others were cloudy, and he didnât understand them fully. These sounded like stories that were made up. He would often just listen to such things and not care much.
But evolvedâs memory was very good. If no one else mentioned such things again, he wouldnât be able to recall it. But if someone did something to trigger those memories, he would have some impression.
Before this, everything that happened since he arrived in Thousand Beast Villa gave him a weird feeling. He was unsure what it meant. Only when Guancheng Chun brought up the request to borrow equipment did he recall something that had spread for some time in his last life.
The rumors said that Los Alamos Lab once used despicable methods to steal a factionâs resources and skills. Although they relied on their strength and backing to sell their results to China, many big factions suppressed them, so they couldnât fully enter.
The person who said it wasnât certain if it was true or not. Ye Zhongming just listened and didnât think much about it. After all, Los Alamos Labâs clientele wasnât ordinary evolved like him and he didnât think those things would concern him.
As for despicable methods etc, Ye Zhongming had seen a whole bunch of these in his last life and wasnât very interested. He only had some slight impression of this because it concerned the country and foreigners.
But when Guancheng Chun spoke today, Ye Zhongming recalled this matter. Los Alamos conned the big faction in the country and obtained two things that he had some impression of. One was a gold piece of equipment crucial to that factionâs leader. Because this gold equipment left the leaderâs side, Los Alamos was able to complete that crucial robbery. Another was a very strong beast pool equipment. It was a large-scale beast pool. Los Alamosâs future experiments were able to get an explosive breakthrough because of this.
All of that was very similar to what was happening now.
The rumors included other, more detailed details, which Ye Zhongming couldnât recall. He didnât know if the details he could recall were accurate, either.
Ye Zhongming had two choices. One was to act like he didnât recall anything and allow things to continue. Anyways, with his strength, Xia Bai and the female guards, even if something happened, he would be able to retreat.
The second choice was to tell Li Daqian about this so that he would get prepared just in case.
But Ye Zhongming hesitated and didnât know what to choose.
Choose the first one? Apart from making things uncontrollable, there wasnât any other use. If something happened, his squad and himself would be in danger. Should he stop or allow things to happen? Or just take the opportunity to gain something?
No matter the choice, he would have to bear the consequences.
As for the second? kYe Zhongming found it tough to make this choice, too.
He recalled the faction that Los Alamos plotted against wasnât Thousand Beast Villa. There wasnât anything regarding Guancheng Chun also. Of the people present, he hadnât heard that there were so many experts as the current event.
Was he going to tell Li Daqian about something he was so uncertain about? He might not say anything because of Ye Zhongmingâs identity, but he wouldnât fully believe him.
One must know that Thousand Beast Villa could kill a level nine lifeform and was very famous. Maybe they would be ranked first in the following Five Ring Money rankings.
This was also their home ground. Would someone dare to hurt them and even try to wipe them out?
Ye Zhongmingâs memories were cloudy. If he thought about it rationally, he wouldnât believe such a thing would happen.
Now, Guancheng Chun was looking expectantly at Li Daqian. The other Chinese and foreigners also looked. Would the boss of Thousand Beast Villa lend the equipment?
Ye Zhongming hesitated, but Li Daqian made up his mind.
Two pieces of equipment appeared in his hands, which attracted everyoneâs attention.
The first was a colorful clay puppet. It was exquisite, and after he removed it, everyone could feel an ice-cold aura from it.
Second was a beautiful star. It was the size of a palm, but there were many beautiful pictures on it. When Ye Zhongming looked at it from his seat, those were pictures of beasts.
âYou are my guest and also Chinese. I canât let others laugh at you. I will lend you these two pieces of equipment, but you better win the third battle.â
Li Daqian was happy-go-lucky, but it didnât mean he was a fool. Although he agreed to lend the two, the clay person and the star didnât leave his hands.
âNo, no, no.â David said, âThings canât be settled like this. We should settle it one by one!â
âYou lost the second one, so you must give me a gold piece of equipment. We will then have the third battle. If you win, you can choose to ask for the gold equipment back or choose Morning Dew! We have a spirit of contract. The stakes belong to their own battle and canât be mixed!â
Hearing David say that, Guancheng Chunâs expression turned even uglier. He spent so much effort in convincing Li Daqian to lend him two pieces of equipment. As long as he won the third battle, all problems would be solved.
But David wanted to follow the rules to the letter. Wasnât he forcing Li Daqian to regret? Everyone knew that he wouldnât really give the gold equipment to Los Alamos lab. This thing was too precious, and Li Daqian probably only had two pieces.
Both sides were at a standstill due to this problem, and neither backed down.
At this point, Mr Wen suddenly said, âWhy not since both sides canât agree, letâs compromise.â
