“Brother Ye, I don’t quite understand…” Xiao Xuan scratched his head, unsure of what Ye Zhongming meant.
In his view, the choice of the Mechanical Genius wasn’t wrong; it seemed clear to choose battle when it was easy and to purchase when it was difficult. Why did the boss say it was foolish?
Ye Zhongming smiled, observing the battle already initiated by the Mechanical Genius, and explained, “Many things aren’t simply black and white; they aren’t always one or two.”
“Many times, it depends on the situation. Our warriors at Cloud Summit have many strengths: bravery, fearlessness, loyalty, obedience… However, as we develop, there are times when I, along with some captains, cannot be by your side all the time to give you clear instructions. In such moments, you will need to judge based on the actual situation and ultimately choose the best way to solve the problem.”
Many people, especially the young soldiers of the Youth Army, were momentarily stunned by this, then focused intently.
They understood that the boss was training them, laying the foundation for future independent combat and even leading a small team.
Ye Zhongming pointed to the deceased black soldier at Bright Star and said, “You all saw that monster; how powerful is it?”
“Very strong. Didn’t you say it has eighth-level strength?” a Youth Army soldier replied.
Many female warriors of the red dress guard chuckled.
“Isn’t it?” The Youth Army soldier realized he might be mistaken and scratched his head in embarrassment.
“It exceeded eighth-level and should be very close to ninth-level,” Dai Zhi said.
Even with just a glance, their strength and experience allowed them to estimate the level of the Nether Moth.
Ye Zhongming expressed his agreement with this assessment.
“If the difficulty of Bright Star here is progressive, and it’s already this challenging, then the later ones will be even more severe. In this case, it seems reasonable to choose the seemingly simpler challenges first to preserve resources for the later ones, but therein lies the problem.”
At this point, Ye Zhongming paused, watching the battle at Bright Star for a few seconds. The Mechanical Genius indeed had some skill; he performed excellently in combat, with the entire mechanical team under his control moving in sync, advancing and retreating strategically, and was beginning to gain some advantage.
However, the lives on Bright Star were also very formidable. Even in a bad situation, they were tenacious and posed significant trouble for the Mechanical Genius’s team. So far, over ten mechanical puppets had been destroyed.
“I believe the final test will definitely not be something that can be purchased with money.”
Everyone readily agreed with what the King of Cloud Summit said next. In the final test to obtain the Mountain King Crown, they would not allow evolvers to buy their way through; otherwise, what would be the point of the previous tests? It also did not align with the consistent nature of the roulette space.
“Then it must be very difficult.” Ye Zhongming sighed slightly before continuing, “How should we respond to such a final exam?”
Without needing anyone else to answer, Ye Zhongming directly provided the answer: “We must save our strength as much as possible, in preparation for the final test.”
“If we choose to challenge right at the start like the Mechanical Genius, with our strength, we could naturally win. But what is the standard? How many challenges should we undertake? Do we enter the chaotic zone and just buy our way through? What if we run out of money after purchasing a few Bright Stars? Do we just keep fighting?”
These questions raised plunged everyone at Cloud Summit into silence.
Indeed, if it were a wealthy force, nothing would be a problem. Ye Zhongming’s analysis could easily be dismissed as nonsense. They could keep buying until the final test arrived.
But the current situation was that every purchase of a Bright Star was very expensive. It was unlikely anyone would have confidence in buying them all outright; even Ye Zhongming and Cloud Summit's wealth could not manage that.
