What a magical thing it is, Ye Zhongming was not clear. In his past life, he did not have the qualifications to know these secrets.
However, An Zhen made him take notice. Ye Zhongming was no longer the ordinary evolver who knew nothing in his previous life, living every day just for food and Evolution Potions.
In this life, he had learned too many things, too many secrets, and had come into contact with too many unexpected organizations.
If An Zhen had not appeared, it would have been fine, but once he did, it stirred up some memories from Ye Zhongming's past life. Combined with his experiences in this life, it immediately made him sense something unusual.
In his previous life, An Zhen was able to earn the respect of many nine-star evolvers at the eight-star level, so could it be that he was truly just a free evolver?
Since his identity was special, even mysterious, then why had he come to find him today...?
Many thoughts surfaced in Ye Zhongming's mind.
"I said there’s a way to cure Liu Zhenghong, and I mean it..." No matter how powerful An Zhen had been in his past life, in this life, in front of Ye Zhongming, he was still a small character who couldn’t even control his own life.
He looked at Ye Zhongming and then gritted his teeth, saying, "I can't just give it to you for free; you must pay the corresponding price."
Ye Zhongming nodded, "Yes, that's very reasonable. To gain something, one must pay a price, but I have already paid."
An Zhen was taken aback, not understanding what Ye Zhongming meant.
"Your life," Ye Zhongming smiled like a devil. "You give me the method, and I won't kill you. That's fair, isn’t it?"
"You..."
"You can blame yourself for not recognizing the situation," Ye Zhongming tapped the armrest of the chair. "Of course, you might have some leverage, but... you're too far away!"
Upon hearing this, An Zhen's body involuntarily shivered, which immediately confirmed many things for Ye Zhongming.
"I can tell you the method, but I will also tell you the price you need to pay. As for whether you agree or not, that's up to you."
An Zhen was, after all, a six-star evolver, a strong presence in this era when everyone was striving for four stars. After a brief treatment, he had regained some strength, and his complexion had improved significantly. Though he still felt fear towards Ye Zhongming, it was not as intense as before.
Ye Zhongming tapped the armrest, each tap rhythmic, maintaining a frequency of one tap every two seconds. When he stopped after sixty taps, he said, "The method."
An Zhen smiled, revealing his blood-stained teeth.
"So, the boss of Cloud Summit dares to make a decision without hearing the price first. You have guts."
Ye Zhongming sneered, leaning back in his chair, "Just a dog from some race up in the skies, but smart enough to be liked by its master."
An Zhen showed no surprise, even when Ye Zhongming called him a dog, and began to recite a series of medicine names.
"Find an apothecary or Alchemist to concoct the medicine, take it once a day, and within half a month, the side effects will be minimized to the point where they’re nearly undetectable."
"Not eradicated?"
"For a product of your Cloud Summit technology, it's already pretty good for roulette technology to have such an effect."
Their conversation was concise and clear; they both understood each other’s intentions.
"Now tell me, what’s your asking price?"
Ye Zhongming guessed that this person was likely a spokesperson for some force in the sky, but he didn’t know why they had chosen An Zhen as their spokesperson or what they wanted from him. However, he wouldn’t guess blindly; he would soon know the answer.
"All the data from the Life Gene Laboratory and the magic crystal weapon laboratory."
"You can ask your master to call his agents on Earth to attack Cloud Summit. If luck is on your side, perhaps you can achieve your wish."
"At least one of them."
"You’d better have a Plan B."
"Since you know these things, you should also understand how serious the consequences are if you get what you want but don’t give them what they want!"
