When the three of them left, they were still not fully awake from the shock and confusion.
The news they had just received was truly astonishing.
That person actually knew about the events in the brightwater realm and had just sold Ye Zhongming information about three locations.
Of course, there was a possibility that some of this information was false, but looking at that person's demeanor, Ye Zhongming and the others didn't think it was fake. He spoke with such authority that if he were fabricating it to such an extent, Ye Zhongming would willingly be deceived into buying three bottles of five-star evolution potion.
The information about those three locations was worth the price of a bottle of five-star evolution potion each.
If it was real, Ye Zhongming didn't think it was expensive, because the three pieces of information he needed were—the location of the Class Promotion Scroll, the location of the universal equipment upgrade scroll (gold level), and the location of the skill cooldown potion recipe.
The first two were needless to say, they were very rare items, and the latter cooldown potion was also a type that could increase combat power; reducing cooldown time could directly enhance fighting capabilities.
Especially for Ye Zhongming, the significance of the cooldown potion was substantial. To some extent, this potion related to his safety, as the second life had a cooldown time; the shorter the cooldown, the safer he was.
So he spent a lot of money to buy these three locations.
He didn't buy more because, even though Ye Zhongming felt he wasn't being deceived, he still needed to verify the information first.
"Boss, can we go to the three places separately tomorrow?" Zhao Xiangxue suddenly suggested to Ye Zhongming.
The three places were said to be located in Zone Three, all of which were places ordinary evolvers needed to go to. Since the five rings society had handed over this area to these not particularly powerful individuals, it also implied that these areas shouldn't be too dangerous. With the personal strength of the three of them, they had a good chance of obtaining these items even if they fought separately.
However, after hearing this, Ye Zhongming shook his head.
"Although we now know some information, it's actually not much. Judging that it's not very dangerous based on this is a bit rash. Let's go in together tomorrow and see if we can confirm that we can handle it alone; if we can, then splitting up can be done later."
With the decision made, the three found a seemingly nice hotel and enjoyed a long-awaited comfortable soft bed. By the time they got up, the entertainment area was buzzing with people heading towards the lobby they had previously entered.
The three followed and overheard some people discussing that the major forces had already gone in, among other news.
Ye Zhongming recalled what the owner of the all-category store had said yesterday: those major forces were headed towards Zone Two.
As they listened to others talking about gathering information, a sudden commotion broke out ahead. Ye Zhongming looked up to see a squad of soldiers from the five rings society rushing over.
These soldiers were uniformed, and their levels were not low, evidently elite troops from the five rings society.
As they reached the crowd, the soldiers parted to reveal someone dressed in a bizarre uniform among them.
It was hard to tell whether this person was male or female.
"You can call me Tong Steward."
This simple statement caused silence to fall over the crowd.
Not only was Tong Steward one of the five great figures of the five rings society, and not just because Tong Steward was a prominent figure on the national leaderboard, but also because everyone had received news indicating that the control of the brightwater realm was in the hands of this androgynous individual.
This was a subspace, and nobody knew how things would really turn out, but deep speculation was always inevitable. The controller held the power of life and death to some extent, naturally invoking fear.
