âAlthough... many of our sisters have died because of you.â Ella's face was filled with complex emotions as the biting cold wind brushed her hair, accompanied by the occasional falling snowflakes and a tone of desolation, making the scene suffused with tragedy.
âBut you have also allowed others to survive.â
Looking at the delicate face of the young Eastern man in front of her, the leader of the women's camp, a white woman, could hardly believe that he had gained the greatest reward with minimal losses during the roulette test that nearly annihilated the women's camp.
The Mountain King Crown!
That was the Mountain King Crown, one of the Dominion Equipment on Earth! A solid piece of rainbow equipment!
And there were other rewards too, although she didnât know what they were, just by looking at what she held in her hands, she knew they would be very good.
âWhat do you want to say?â Ye Zhongming furrowed his brows, unsure of the womanâs intentions after she emerged from the space.
On the other side, the Mechanical Genius also remained still.
Indeed, in the last few rounds, the four forces joined hands to eliminate jannadrah, which was a cooperative relationship. However, in the end, it was still a competitive one; in the earlier rounds, they fought fiercely.
Now that we are out, I could just directly knock you out. Do you dare to stop me? Am I not allowed to take everything from you?
âI have no ulterior motives; I just want to say thank you. Whether you believe it or not, regardless of... how we feel.â
Many surviving female warriors bowed their heads.
Yes, who has more complex feelings than them? It was Ye Zhongming who had caused them heavy casualties, who had aged them in an instant. Now many of their gray-haired comrades were standing behind, hugging their arms and shivering in the icy wilderness. They had lost their power and became weaker than ordinary people, unsure if they could endure and walk out of this icefield.
But in the end, it was also Ye Zhongming who spared them, and it was his toll that allowed them to pass the life-and-death test; this was another act of kindness.
Even if this kindness felt like charity, even if it didnât mean much to others.
âI received two items; as a token of gratitude, you can take them.â Ella handed the items to Ye Zhongming.
The King of Cloud Summit sneered and took them over.
Looking at them in his hands, he discovered that one was a piece of equipment and the other was an item.
The equipment was golden armor with five abilities, dual Earth and Wood attributes.
Golden equipment might be considered a treasure in the eyes of others, but to Ye Zhongming, it was not a rare item. After examining the attributes, as a top-tier craftsman, he immediately formed his own evaluation of this equipment.
A chicken rib!
The kind that is tasteless to eat but a pity to discard.
Several abilities were acceptable, but there was neither top-tier attack capability nor top-tier defense capability; they all appeared mediocre, with two passive enhancements, such as increased stamina recovery while fighting in the mountains and forests, but the added values were too low.
To be honest, the overall attributes of this equipment were just slightly better than some of the blue equipment Ye Zhongming had manufactured. Not to mention core members, even the red dress guard had over a hundred pieces that could surpass this golden armor in terms of practicality.
The other item, however, brightened Ye Zhongming's eyes.
It was a cooking pot.
Not the same as the Water and Fire Cauldron from Cloud Summit, just somewhat similar. The former could be used to create all sorts of delicious foods that enhanced an evolver's abilities, while this cooking pot was used to repair weapon equipment.
By placing some special energy-containing liquids, such as blood, body fluids, plant juices, etc., inside, and boiling them with fire, damaged weapons could be cooked in it for a certain period to restore them.
Naturally, this was a good item, even extremely precious. Because evolvers fought every day, damage to weapons was very common. Usually, evolvers had no way to repair them; most of the time they couldnât find a channel, and a small portion found craftsmen but couldnât afford it or felt it wasnât worth it and were unwilling to pay.
