CHAPTER TEXT:
"Are you sure you want to take a look?"
In response to Zhenghua's inquiry, Xia Lei remained noncommittal. Zhenghua raised an eyebrow, walked over, and opened the first box.
Inside the mobile home, there were only two boxes.
As the box opened, the cold aura inside the mobile home intensified. However, neither Xia Lei nor the giant Zhenghua was affected much, as they were both seven-star evolvers.
At this moment, Xia Lei cast a somewhat surprised glance at Zhenghua.
"How many people are in your storage department?"
This question was already a subtle inquiry into Zhenghua's status.
"Not many, but it can't be compared to Cloud Summit," Zhenghua replied with a smile, smoothly shifting the topic.
"This is the Ghost Eye Prism Flower."
Zhenghua looked at the huge, eye-shaped plant inside the box with a hint of nostalgia.
He didn't know if Cloud Summit already knew that the Ogre Chain had this item or if it was a coincidence that they acquired it, but one thing was undeniable: obtaining this item had cost the organization a lot of manpower and resources.
Although Zhenghua didn't participate personally, he knew that for this magical flower, the Ogre Chain mobilized all armed forces from two major regions, and the second and third leaders from headquarters also went to assist. It was only after paying a great price that they managed to bring this item back from a deep mountain.
The specific effects of the Ghost Eye Prism Flower were still being explored by the Ogre Chain. What is currently known is that it can prevent injuries from worsening.
These injuries include curse and corrosion types.
One could say that this ability might not surface in ordinary times, but at critical moments, it can truly save lives.
Additionally, surrounding the eye-shaped body of the Ghost Eye Prism Flower are patches of purple leaves, each only a few centimeters in size. After consumption, these leaves can provide temporary resistance to low temperatures, and those with ice attributes will also receive a similarly limited-time enhancement in their abilities.
The Ghost Eye Prism Flower is undoubtedly precious, but it hasn’t reached the level where the Ogre Chain would cherish it excessively. So when Ye Zhongming requested this item, Ruan Xiao contacted headquarters and obtained a reply that it could be given.
However, due to its strange shape and special abilities, combined with the difficulty of obtaining it, it has become one of the more conspicuous items in the Ogre Chain's treasury. Zhenghua, who was responsible for everything regarding the treasury, saw it every day. It had been over a year since then, and now, parting with it was inevitably a bit reluctant.
After observing carefully for two minutes, Xia Lei nodded, indicating she was satisfied. Zhenghua closed the first box and moved to the second one.
Without speaking, Zhenghua paused for a moment before opening it.
The second box was larger and longer than the first, looking more like a... coffin.
In fact, there was indeed a person lying inside.
"I don't know why you want this person, but we've brought him, so it should meet your requirements."
"Dark Abyss Envoy practitioner."
Xia Lei glanced at the person; he was an unremarkable middle-aged man, eyes closed, breathing steadily, clearly under some form of control.
"Very well, thank you, Ogre Chain. When you return, please convey our gratitude to your chairman or general manager, and Manager Ruan Xiao." Xia Lei personally closed the lid of the box and added, "Of course, thank you for coming in person, Minister Zhenghua. If you don't mind, let's go to the villa and rest for a while; the scenery there is quite nice."
Zhenghua was slightly surprised. Was this due to him guessing his identity? However, he didn't mind much; whether he was recognized or not was of no consequence. Just like the current invitation, he could take a look inside Cloud Summit Villa, and perhaps he could even have a chat with the legendary Lord of Cloud Summit.
"Aren't you even a little curious about this person's identity and past? I don't understand why you want him, but I feel it's definitely not to invite him as a guest. If that's the case, it's a crime of choice, isn't it... damaging the reputation of Cloud Summit?"
