"Recently, I have updated less; I will make up for it starting tomorrow!"
"Wooden puppets?"
The person who had traded with Ye Zhongming not long ago was surprised again when he was found. After hearing this request, he was momentarily stunned, then groped around his body and pulled out two wooden puppets.
"I would like you to help me contact those who have been to the puppet ruins; I will buy the puppets in their possession," Ye Zhongming stated his request, then added, "As for the price, I won't set a standard because everyone has different expectations. Please help me gather the information."
Saying this, he pointed his chin at the two wooden puppets, "You can make an offer."
The person blinked, opened his mouth as if to say something, but then hesitated and held back.
Ye Zhongming did not wait for him to continue speaking and placed a white jade pendant in front of him.
"It increases agility and provides a slight enhancement to your other equipment."
For such equipment, the person had no resistance, and he also understood that these useless wooden puppets weren't worth much. This boss from the three-person team had given him the equipment as an advance payment for contacting other puppet owners.
After completing the transaction, the person went to contact others. Most factions that entered the adventure land were familiar with each other.
Ye Zhongming then looked for a middleman and released news of buying the eyeballs and puzzles from the desolate pit.
The so-called middlemen were evolvers who had begun to establish connections after acquiring information. Their personal strength might not be strong, but they were willing to invest, understood how to gain people's trust, knew how to do business, and were highly sensitive to information.
Of course, they also had capital.
Such people emerged after many had gone through several periods of adventure, seizing business opportunities and connecting everyone to achieve mutual benefits, from which they profited.
While it might be an exaggeration to say that circumstances create heroes, the birth of these individuals was inevitable.
After assigning the task of collecting eyeballs and puzzles to them, Ye Zhongming returned to rest for a while. Once the adventure land reopened, the five rings society clearly did not give up on cooperating with Ye Zhongming just because they hadn't reached an agreement previously. They invited him to participate in a higher-level adventure, but Ye Zhongming politely declined. He still had some things to obtain in the lower-level adventure area.
The five rings society did not pursue it further; they clearly did not understand Ye Zhongming's behavior of sacrificing potential gains for minor losses. The rewards in the high-level area were certainly better, so why was this boss from Cloud Summit fixated on the lower-level adventure area? Was it simply because it was safer?
They naturally wouldn’t know that Ye Zhongming had already obtained the most comprehensive information about the brightwater realm. Besides the completion rate where the five rings society had an absolute advantage, in other aspects, Ye Zhongming had completely distanced himself from them.
Alongside Gao Yi and Zhao Xiangxue, the three of them continuously fought in these adventure areas to obtain the rewards Ye Zhongming desired.
After two open periods, which amounted to over eighty hours, Ye Zhongming completed the clearing of the lower-level area.
Probably no one imagined what Ye Zhongming gained from this.
Naturally, he obtained quite a few good items, among which a few were particularly representative.
The first item was a medical tent.
This was a very special piece of equipment that looked extremely simple, its only distinguishing feature being its cleanliness.
Its significant function was to allow injured individuals to enter and heal.
This equipment was rare; it could only be produced on very high-level wheels, yet very few people desired it.
This formed a stark contrast to the popularity of medical practitioners or healing potions.
