Doomsday Roulette

Ye Zhongming reached out and opened the container, and as expected, it contained ninth-level magic crystals, but the quantity was... fifteen pieces.

To be honest, this was somewhat unexpected. At least from the information he had received, he thought his allies wouldn't have this many ninth-level magic crystals on hand. Li Daqian? Or Commander Mu?

At most, they could come up with a few pieces, and the rest should be the stock of the two major business alliances.

It seems that he really couldn't underestimate them; quietly, they almost gathered enough to make one spin of the grade 9 roulette.

"These magic crystals should be helpful to you..." Wang Hanran started, but he hesitated, showing a bit of anxiety.

"I... we suspect that in your villa, there should be someone capable of saving magic crystal energy when spinning the roulette, cough cough, or someone who can exclude certain rewards, or even control the pointer."

In Cloud Summit, only the core members knew that Ye Zhongming had the powerful exclusion technique. This was an ability highly valued, one that they definitely did not want outsiders to know about.

Cloud Summit often engaged in potion trade, and ordinary people wouldn't think too much about it, probably believing that it was just Cloud Summit's good luck to acquire a batch of evolution potions with a low average magic crystal cost or that they 'obtained' them from other evolvers. Of course, some even believed that these high-level evolution potions were just being sold off cheap by Cloud Summit.

However, individuals and forces sensitive to commercial activities, such as the Ogre Chain or the five rings society, would carefully track the shipment volumes of evolution potions, and thus deduce that Ye Zhongming or someone within Cloud Summit must possess some special ability related to spinning the roulette.

Considering Ye Zhongming's rise to fame, they further surpassed an eighty percent likelihood that the person with this ability was indeed Ye Zhongming himself.

Otherwise, the current King of Cloud Summit should be Liu Zhongming instead of Ye Zhongming.

It was good that they secretly knew this information; they could still negotiate prices in the potion trade. As long as it wasn't too excessive, they could trade for some low-level evolution potions that Cloud Summit didn't care much about. But once it was spoken out loud...

Leaving aside whether the King of Cloud Summit would get angry, just considering future trade in this aspect, it would likely be affected.

Not that it would be cheaper, but rather more expensive, especially for high-level evolution potions.

As for why, it was easy to understand...

Now was a critical time, and to persuade Ye Zhongming to go to the skies, Wang Hanran couldn't care about anything else.

"If you or your subordinates possess this kind of ability, the success rate of spinning the roulette would definitely be high, and perhaps the required quantity of magic crystals would decrease. Naturally... hehe, there's no one more suitable than you."

Ye Zhongming raised an eyebrow, and he wasn't angry or anything. This ability, which he had obtained on the first day of the apocalypse, was indeed something that anyone would covet. Once it was leaked when he was weak, he would surely be captured. However, it seemed that no one could do that right now, so even if it was known, it wouldn't cause too much harm, except for eliciting more respect from others.

Moreover, these people were still his allies.

"I'll accept this, thank you."

The King of Cloud Summit's words prompted the others to exchange glances and show wry smiles.

The water steward shrugged and responded to Wang Hanran's gaze, meaning, see, I told you so.

Wang Hanran pulled out... a piece of paper again.

"If you agree to take a look at the heavens for us and pave the way, we naturally have the responsibility to ensure you're fully prepared."

Before coming, they had gathered near Cloud Summit and discussed this issue.

The water steward, who knew Ye Zhongming well, said that the King of Cloud Summit would definitely ask for more, and the fifteen magic crystals they had prepared were indeed exceptionally precious but wouldn't satisfy his appetite.
