Soon, the day of the assessment for the Bronze Camp arrived.
Originally, the internal assessments of the three major teams of the Star-Eye Clan were the teams' own affairs, but due to Ye Zhongming's presence and the excellent rewards he announced, the assessment attracted a lot of attention.
On this day, almost all the silver masked warriors and golden masked warriors who had no missions came, and their commander was naturally present as well, with Jack Su, Yashinan, and Bashiru all in attendance.
Finally, when the two leaders of the Star-Eye Clan appeared together, it marked the first peak of the event.
All the bronze warriors felt the pressure and tension, and everyone once again witnessed Ye Zhongming's prominence and status within the Star-Eye Clan at that moment.
An internal team assessment, and even the clan leader came to watch—this level of support was undoubtedly unprecedented.
However, it was tough for these bronze masked warriors; they were both excited to see the clan leader and felt pressured to perform under the gaze of nearly all the clan's high-ranking officials, causing many to sweat profusely.
Since the two leaders of the Star-Eye Clan were present, they naturally couldn't remain silent. Lord Yan briefly spoke on behalf of the clan before announcing the start of the assessment.
Ye Zhongming, along with several high-ranking officials, accompanied the two leaders to observe the assessment. As the host today, Ye Zhongming sat beside the two leaders.
"There are some developments regarding the mining machines, but there are issues," Lord Yan whispered to Ye Zhongming.
"What issues?"
The purchase of the machines had to remain a secret; naturally, they could not buy them from those major clans and could only find specialized channels. The channel the Star-Eye Clan found was a processing plant that dealt with waste, filled with various discarded machines and metal waste from all races.
Some discarded items from major clans were still valuable for smaller clans, and if they were to buy directly from major clans, they would be ignored. Thus, these processing plants came into existence.
Of course, this was not something just anyone could do.
Every Survivor Fortress had one or two such processing plants, and they mostly conducted this kind of business. To make sure other races would buy things instead of stealing, they needed powerful military backing or connections, which meant there was always a shadow of major clans or super experts behind these processing plants.
Additionally, the super clans and major clans were not foolish; they knew where their technological gaps compared to other races lay, particularly in key areas, so they would never let those items go for processing.
Therefore, the people working at these processing plants either had connections with super clans or understood advanced technologies themselves.
No matter which, it was not something ordinary people could achieve.
Such places and such people, speaking of the Star-Eye Clan, even for other major clans, they held their heads high.
"A batch of mining machines cannot be purchased separately. If we want to buy them, we have to purchase them all, but more than half of what's included is something we won't even need. In other words, what we could have bought for one to two million Moon Age Gold now requires almost six million Moon Age Gold."
Lord Yan sighed inwardly, feeling the heavy pressure.
This was the first significant task Ye Zhongming had truly asked the Star-Eye Clan to undertake. The previous tasks, like utilizing proxies for information exchange and running shops, were relatively easy and could be done with just a nod from the clan leader.
But this was different; it required testing the Star-Eye Clan's capabilities in various aspects like information acquisition, communication skills, execution ability, financial status, and so on.
In terms of efficiency, the Star-Eye Clan was indeed high; they managed to find a seller and reach the final negotiation stage within ten days, proving the clan's capability.
