“Energy... is replenishable!”
Alamos's answer made everyone present a bit irritable.
They were all bosses of their respective factions, strong men in their own territories. They were used to being in charge and giving orders, so they were not accustomed to Alamos's high-and-mighty attitude and his roundabout way of speaking.
“What exactly is it?!”
It was still that short-tempered muscular man from the battle tribe who barked the question.
“Mr. Damov, when speaking to our director, it’s best you pay attention to your tone. Our Alamos Laboratory is the leader of this operation. We provided the essential equipment for the success of this plan, namely this spartitu space. In the upcoming battle, our people will fight as hard as yours. You should maintain the respect we deserve for the contributions we made,” David, a loyal guard of Alamos, expressed his dissatisfaction towards the Russian named Damov.
Damov rolled his eyes and retorted, “If you want my respect, then hurry up and get this thing sorted!”
“Alright everyone, let’s hear what Mr. Alamos has to say. It seems there’s a way to address the energy issue,” Wen Yan stood between the two sides, blocking the simmering tensions with his body.
These foreigners were still bickering at a time like this. Wen Yan had already endured Alamos's attitude; how could everyone else not tolerate a little indirect speech?
Moreover, these people gave Wen Yan the impression that they looked down on the folks from the national district, showing a contempt that dated back to peacetime when foreigners often viewed locals with disdain.
Wen Yan wanted to tell these people that the national district was far more powerful than they imagined. Let’s not even mention it; have any of you from the foreign districts ever killed a ninth-level life? A significant reason for your visit here is to study that body of immense research value, right?
So why create discord? You’re not afraid of failure, but I am. If we fail, you can just pack up and leave. I still have to survive in the national district. Am I supposed to face the revenge from the major forces like Ten Thousand Beast Manor, Five Rings Society, and Ogre Chain of Cloud Summit Villa? The pavilion of quality truly can’t take it.
Alamos hummed and mumbled something that no one present understood, though some knowledgeable individuals speculated it resembled ancient Hebrew.
Alamos was once a renowned figure in the global academic community, so it was not surprising that he mastered a rare language.
However, it was clear that his last few sentences were likely curses, which made Damov’s eyes widen in anger, but he was once again stopped by Wen Yan.
“By killing these targets within the space, energy will be replenished to a certain extent. Additionally, as a reward for victory, energy will also be replenished,” Alamos said.
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent for a moment. Wen Yan quickly asked, “Does that mean as long as we keep winning, our energy can increase instead of decrease?”
“It’s not that simple!” Alamos replied somewhat impatiently, then continued, “The division of energy in the space is very detailed. Even individuals of the same level consume different amounts of energy when entering these individual spaces. The energy rewarded after victory also correlates with the opponent's strength. The better the opponent performs, the more energy is replenished upon their death. Conversely, if they perform poorly, the returned energy will be very little, not enough to cover the consumption.”
What the dark sorcerer said left everyone confused, but as they pondered, they gradually began to notice some connections.
Seeing the thoughtful expressions on several faces, Alamos scoffed, “Have you all figured something out?”
Many people indeed had realized the complex relationship between the energy return and rewards in the space, as well as their personal stakes in it.
The energy return and rewards in the space were tied to the strength of both combatants. The closer their powers were, the more energy they would receive after victory. For instance, with Nine Dragons and Xia Bai, their disparity was not significant. Thus, if Nine Dragons won, they would receive a substantial amount of energy replenishment.
