Doomsday Roulette

When Ye Zhongming returned to Cloud Summit, the entire villa felt festive.

Every time Ye Zhongming came back, it was like this.

Not to mention that he made quite the entrance this time, with five hundred battle beasts, most of which were adult ones. There were ones flying in the sky and others running on the ground, making it a spectacular sight.

Before Ye Zhongming could even settle down, the captains of the main battle teams who hadn't gone hunting came to visit—Little Tiger, Guangyao, Tonghu, and others were all present.

“Boss, dear boss.” If anyone had thick skin in Cloud Summit, besides Little Tiger, it was no one else.

“These battle beasts are quite good, I heard they’re a specialty from Ten Thousand Beast Manor, and they come with special control devices, right?”

Looking at Little Tiger’s expression, Ye Zhongming couldn’t help but smile, his gaze briefly sweeping over the cloth covering his eyes, feeling a twinge of sadness in his heart.

“Mm.”

With a soft hum, Ye Zhongming could guess what Little Tiger was after, even with his toes.

Guangyao, Tonghu, and Mo Ye looked on, unable to suppress their smiles as they watched Little Tiger show off.

“Can you share some with me?” Little Tiger said with a flattering grin, then put on a righteous expression, “Boss, look here, Guangyao has a Chain Cutting Tank, Sister Ye has Rong Clan Holy Armor, Hatsune has a set of battle skirt gear, Young Master Yun has that sixth-level battle beast you found for him, and Shengyuan just needs a shield, he doesn’t want anything else, and Ayang has all his many brothers...”

He rambled on, the meaning clear: everyone had something, but he had nothing.

“What about Tonghu? Why didn’t you mention him?” Ye Zhongming asked, stifling a laugh. Tonghu’s equipment was quite good, and his team’s strength was commendable. More importantly, they were the fiercest fighters, often leading the charge among the teams in Cloud Summit. But these couldn’t be used as bargaining chips.

Little Tiger found himself at a loss for words, and after a long pause, he replied, “Tonghu has Xiaoli.”

Everyone burst into laughter, with Tonghu laughing the loudest. Xiaoli came over and kicked Little Tiger, then returned to pinch Tonghu’s ear, telling him he was heartless for laughing when others did.

The laughter grew even louder.

“This time, there are no battle beasts for you.” After saying this, Ye Zhongming pushed aside Little Tiger, who was making a face of disbelief.

Looking at the captains in the room, before Ye Zhongming could speak, Mo Ye took the lead.

“Zhongming, we don’t want these battle beasts. We’ve already received quite a few battle beast eggs or cubs from the warehouse; it’s better to cultivate them slowly so we can handle them well.”

Mo Ye was an elder; although she had a tough personality and expressed her emotions in a restrained manner, she seemed cold but was actually warm-hearted and loved helping others.

When considering issues, she always approached them from the perspective of Cloud Summit as a whole. Whatever good things there were, she adhered to the principle of “not competing.” She knew that what should be given would naturally be given by Ye Zhongming, and what wasn’t supposed to be taken had no benefits besides disrupting unity and leaving a bad impression of Ye Zhongming.

Her team inherited this quality, being relatively upright and stable among the main battle teams, embodying the essence of a guardian.

However, her team was also well-rounded, making it an excellent choice as a backbone.

Ye Zhongming's evaluation of Mo Ye's team was that they could attack and defend equally well.

Hence, the characteristics of team leaders directly reflected the temperament of their teams.

Guangyao and the others also expressed their disinterest. Although these battle beasts looked decent in level, all their subordinates were above four-star. Having these additional battle beasts would require them to readjust everything; their combat effectiveness might not only not increase in a short time but could even decrease.
