Doomsday Roulette

CHAPTER TEXT:

"I and my clan can serve you as our master."

Just this one sentence made Ye Zhongming's heart race wildly.

No matter how impressive Ye Zhongming had been on the beginner battlefield, he was ultimately just a newcomer who had recently stepped out of Earth.

Excluding those who had ventured into outer space and landed on space stations or the moon in human history, he was among the first batch of humans to truly step into the universe.

In the face of the countless races that have survived in the universe for who knows how many years, such a person is truly insignificant.

Perhaps, one day, Ye Zhongming would have the confidence to stand at the top of the countless races of the universe alongside humanity, but he could not deny the lowly position he and humanity held here at this moment.

From strength to influence, humans were in a state of being crushed.

But at that moment, a race from the cosmos suddenly wanted to become his subordinate—how could that not stir his heart?

It was like an ordinary person, powerless, facing a martial arts master and bowing their head in respect; initially, there would definitely be excitement and attraction.

However, Ye Zhongming quickly calmed down.

The more tempting something is, the greater the price that must be paid behind it.

Sure enough, before Ye Zhongming could speak, He took the initiative to say, "But you need to agree to a few things for me first."

Ye Zhongming stretched out his hand, signaling him to continue.

This was normal! The King of Cloud Summit felt a bit more at ease regarding his wariness towards He.

"Our Long Void Water Clan must become a key part of this plan, so naturally, we want to receive corresponding benefits when the plan achieves milestones."

The content of this condition is in contrast with the ultimate success of the plan. However, because this plan is too special and too rough, it was hastily conceived based on a thought from Ji Rui Guang's mind during the beginner battlefield, and so far it has been very crude and empty, with vast potential to be filled with much more content in the future.

If waiting for this plan to mature and be implemented, it would take a very long time, and the Long Void Water Clan might not be able to hold on until then.

Knowing all this, Ye Zhongming understood the request He made, and he immediately agreed.

"I hope you can use this reward and points to help us secure a place where we can settle down."

Hmm? Ye Zhongming felt a bit puzzled. What did this mean?

He brushed his hair back, his face carrying a hint of desolation as he said, "Races that have it better basically own one or even multiple cities in the seven Survivor Fortresses. Those super large clans even possess several city clusters. At the very least, they have a territory of their own."

Ye Zhongming nodded. He had seen the territory of the Star-Eye Clan; although they could only live underground, and it was called a castle or something, in reality, it was a fairly large city.

"As for us Long Void Water Clan, ever since we lost Long Void City many cosmic years ago, we can only rent places to live back and forth among the three smallest Survivor Fortresses. The reason why we can't find stable housing is that the rent is one of the means some people use to force us into submission."

Ye Zhongming listened quietly, while He continued to speak.

"Our clan is becoming weaker and weaker, which is greatly related to having no industries or even a place to call home. So I hope you can solve this problem for me first; the place doesn’t need to be too big, just as long as it belongs to us. My clan and I are truly tired of this wandering life. I also hope that in the future, if some of our clansmen who are fortunate enough to break free from control can have a clear destination, so they won't be as lost as they are now, like rootless duckweeds."

Buying land and property... Ye Zhongming rubbed his chin.

In any place, this is actually something that requires enormous capital. Although He only mentioned the issue of buying land and did not say she wanted Ye Zhongming to help with property acquisition, one could imagine that in a location with an overpopulation and only seven Survivor Fortresses, not to mention that land is precious, it certainly wouldn't be cheap. With Ye Zhongming's current resources, it would be difficult to say whether he could buy a piece of private territory.
