CHAPTER TEXT:
"Happy New Year to everyone~~"
Ye Zhongming had a deep sense of vigilance towards the All Races of the Universe, but he couldn't help but feel a yearning for the equipment they could offer that would be helpful at this stage.
After all, it was a completely new category of weapons apart from roulette equipment, military merit equipment, and magic crystal weapons.
Struggling without contribution points, Ye Zhongming could only watch the product listings with envy.
He did not reject tasks, even if it meant working for the Tarros Red Dwarf.
However, the timing was a bit unfortunate.
An invitation from Ten Thousand Beasts Villa had arrived.
Ye Zhongming had intended to go there and did not want to miss this opportunity.
As for what to do there, he speculated there were a few reasons.
One was to showcase strength.
Just because Cloud Summit Villa was unwilling to do this did not mean others were as well. Reputation could bring benefits.
From his perspective, Ye Zhongming guessed that Ten Thousand Beasts Villa might want to use this moment while their reputation was at its peak to sell their specialty, the battle beasts, to various major forces.
Many forces and evolvers might be reluctant to raise battle beasts, but that didn’t mean they didn’t yearn to own one.
Having rebirthed, Ye Zhongming understood clearly the role a good battle beast could play in battle.
In this life, he had the earth yellow pill, Yangos, and to some extent, the Earth Spirit and Star Spirit, which had similar principles to battle beasts, providing him with immense help, as everyone could see.
Other evolvers either lacked sufficient money to buy a useful battle beast or, even if they bought one, had no time or energy to nurture it.
Fearing death in battle, wasting a battle beast, or fearing the battle beast’s death and wasting money… such thoughts kept many people at a distance from raising battle beasts.
However, if Ten Thousand Beasts Manor could provide a battle beast that was combat-ready immediately, that would be a good business opportunity, with immense profits. Ye Zhongming had once contemplated doing this himself, but he lacked the equipment for a large beast pool, making him unqualified for the business.
As for those nurtured by Cloud Summit, he barely had enough to handle them himself.
For some dreams, Ye Zhongming was gritting his teeth and spending time waiting for the day the Cloud Summit battle beast troop could be combat-ready.
Secondly, Ye Zhongming felt that Ten Thousand Beasts Villa was seeking some help.
What kind of help? It was nothing but in-depth research into ninth-level life or the necessary items required to kill ninth-level life.
This was not groundless speculation; from the intelligence returned by avoidance, he saw that the invitations sent out by Ten Thousand Beasts Villa were not distributed based on any national rankings, but were highly purposeful.
At first glance, it might not seem like there was a pattern, but Ye Zhongming had detailed information on every national force in his hands, and he quickly discerned some clues from these incomplete invitation lists.
These forces either had strong research capabilities, or even if they were not globally renowned, had quite reputable scientific laboratories. Or they had significant strength and the ability to act across regions in the apocalypse. Of course, those who could do business in the apocalypse were nearly all included by Ten Thousand Beasts Villa.
After coming to this conclusion, Ye Zhongming rubbed his chin, thinking that since Ten Thousand Beasts Villa had killed a ninth-level life, it seemed the method was either not mature enough or the required items were exceptionally rare and could only be used once. Now, they were likely looking to see if they could find more.
Also, Ye Zhongming now knew that many forces on Earth were supported by the All Races of the Universe. These powerful organizations probably had no one who could escape this fate; even Cloud Summit Villa, which was the least willing to become someone else's pawn, had become an agent. Thus, other forces likely were in the same situation.
