This is...
Many people stretched their necks, looking towards the water steward's desk, wanting to know what the boss of Cloud Summit had given to the water steward in his pursuit.
Moreover, Ye Zhongming from Cloud Summit was pursuing the water steward of the Five Rings Society?!
This was big news. If the two of them were to become a couple, what would happen to the two major forces in the country? Would Cloud Summit merge with the Five Rings Society, or would the Five Rings Society submit to Cloud Summit? Or perhaps the water steward would bring her faction and pledge allegiance to Ye Zhongming?
The foreigner clearly hadn't anticipated that the water steward would casually turn his somewhat frivolous request into a comparison with someone unknown.
At this moment, he couldn't avoid the comparison or anything else. Previously, he had used lofty words about pursuing beauty and power to pressure the people of the country, leaving them unable to refute him. Now, the water steward was using the same method to put him in a position where he could say nothing.
However, although he was not pleased, the foreigner still had confidence in the power liquid. This product was top-tier even in their laboratory, not comparable to the sweet salt jerky brought out by those two earlier.
He did not believe that these people from the country could produce anything that could match the power liquid.
Before the apocalypse, the technological level in the country was lacking, and now it was even worse; he was confident about that.
"Water steward, what is this?"
Li Daqian was not interested in the matter of Ye Zhongming pursuing the water steward. The apocalypse was an era that valued interests more than peaceful times. He did not believe that the leaders of the country's top ten would make any irrational decisions because of personal feelings. The people surrounding them would push them towards decisions that aligned with their organizations' interests.
To put it simply, at the level of Ye Zhongming and the water steward, while they could claim to have great authority, it was all based on not harming their group's interests. Otherwise, they would face fierce opposition.
What he cared about was the item the water steward had presented, for he felt a genuine energy emanating from it.
Previously, whether it was the sweet salt or the mutated bear jerky, or that bottle of power liquid, he had not sensed such a stable and gentle fluctuation.
The water steward smiled gently and said, "This thing is called - Tranquil Spirit Water Wheel."
Upon hearing this name, everyone was even more eager to know its function.
"Let me demonstrate for everyone."
As she spoke, the water steward took out a small square box from her storage space. After opening it, her slender fingers picked out a purple five-petaled flower.
Then, she asked for some ordinary purified water and poured it into the water wheel.
With the water steward's actions, everyone could see clearly that this was a water wheel craft about fifty to sixty centimeters tall, entirely made of crystal, with the classic figure of a girl holding a water bottle beside it. When the water was added, the water steward placed a magic crystal at the base.
This action caused many to gasp as they recalled Cloud Summit Villa's most famous groundbreaking equipment—the magic crystal weapon.
Could this be a new model of magic crystal weapon manufactured by Cloud Summit?
Everyone knew that Cloud Summit had three treasures: advanced equipment, magic crystal weapons, and gene life. However, among these three treasures, only some equipment had circulated, while gene life and magic crystal weapons were hardly seen elsewhere. Only factions well-connected with Cloud Summit could barely obtain some, like the people from Ying City or the Five Rings Society and Ogre Chain, but those were all of lower quality, belonging to the batches eliminated by Cloud Summit.
Now that the water steward had produced this item, could it really be that Ye Zhongming had pulled out Cloud Summit's top-tier equipment just to pursue her?
