The Assault Camp was in training, but everyone’s expressions were a bit unusual.
As members of Dark Strip City, they also had contact with the outside world, and discussions about the recent attack had already reached a fever pitch.
However, no one believed that the Star-Eye Clan was responsible.
On one hand, everyone knew that the Star-Eye Clan was struggling to survive, relying solely on the rewards from the rookie battlefield, which had been further depleted by the recent movement of the Survivor Fortress.
Although reopening their shop had brought them some glory lately, it was obvious to anyone with discernment that they hadn’t made any real progress.
Why was that? Because everyone knew that Ye Zhongming, who succeeded Commander Qing Tong, had a good relationship with the Long Void Water Clan. It was not impossible to acquire an eighth-tier medicine from them.
As for the crimson condensation level equipment, hadn’t Ye Zhongming obtained seven pieces? Auctioning one wouldn’t be a bad idea. The remaining six might gradually be sold off to sustain the operations of the Star-Eye Clan in the future.
Moreover, various signs indicated that the three main battle teams of the Star-Eye Clan had not left their territory at all.
Another reason they believed the Star-Eye Clan wasn’t responsible was that an auction was about to be held. Who would be foolish enough to stir up trouble at such a critical moment?
Thus, no one thought it was the Star-Eye Clan.
The more this was the case, the more excited the soldiers of the Assault Camp became, but this excitement couldn’t be easily expressed. Hence, their strange expressions were not surprising at all.
Another thing that made them happy was that their Lord Commander Qing Tong was improving their equipment.
The equipment they had received before was already quite good, and they were all knowledgeable enough to recognize that those items were at least at the level of Tarros Red Dwarf’s ordinary grade. In the past, such items were scarce among the Star-Eye Clan; even if they had some, they were prioritized for the Golden and Bai Yin teams, leaving them with no chance.
Now, with Commander Qing Tong personally modifying the equipment, it was evident from what had already been improved that they were getting close to the kegang level.
How could that not excite them? Equipment of this level was standard for large clan teams!
After spending some time in the Assault Camp, these seventy individuals felt a complete shift.
Everyone knew that their lives should be rewritten because of this choice.
Ye Zhongming's manufacturing skills were rapidly advancing, not in terms of roulette technology, but rather in the context of the All Races of the Universe.
The combination of these two types of technology opened a brand new door for him.
With the mastery and proficiency of various knowledge, he might not yet be able to create overly powerful combined equipment, but the kegang level was no challenge for him at all.
This was nearly the highest level achievable by Jikesu. The elder, while astonished, couldn’t help but marvel at the new commander’s exceptional talent.
Technical progress was made, yet a problem lay ahead: to continue improving, a substantial amount of manufacturing and practice was needed, even various experiments that he knew would fail.
This was no small expense.
Jikesu’s talent was also excellent, but the reason he remained at this level after so many years, even in his twilight years, was that the Star-Eye Clan couldn’t provide him with enough materials for practice and experimentation.
Ye Zhongming’s rapid improvement was largely due to the fact that he had exchanged a significant number of various-level equipment from the rookie shop for research!
However, he couldn’t just sit idly by; the rookie rewards had been mostly consumed after being distributed to the Long Void Water Clan and Husky, along with the usage during this time.
This was an important reason prompting Ye Zhongming to launch this attack.
