The high-ranking members of the Star-Eye Clan looked at each other in disbelief at Ye Zhongming's extravagance.
Previously, he had put out five million as the capital for mining the resource planet. Later, it was estimated that he would need to inject another two to three million. Now, he was going to take out one hundred and fifty thousand to buy land. Just how wealthy was this kid?
However, they didn't question the source of the money, attributing it to Jie Su and his backing, the Su Clan.
Currently, Ye Zhongming was the only person, aside from the Tarros Red Dwarf, capable of producing Crimson Condensation Equipment. Just this alone made it easy for the Su Clan to invest one or two million Moon Age Gold. Observing Ye Zhongming's manufacturing efficiency, he could produce approximately twenty pieces of Crimson Condensation Equipment in ten days. Even if each sold for an average of thirty thousand, that would still be six hundred thousand Moon Age Gold. For someone like him, a few million wasn’t a problem at all.
Moreover, in the coming time, Ye Zhongming would go to the Su Clan to fulfill his reward for achieving first among beginners, which might lead to further investments. That’s why he felt so confident.
During this period, the major examination had already completed one individual event. The winners were asked to come to the podium, where Ye Zhongming personally awarded the first place winner a piece of Crimson Condensation Equipment, resulting in thunderous applause both inside and outside the training field. The winner was incredibly excited, holding the equipment high above his head and shouting in delight.
Afterward, Ye Zhongming also distributed two pieces of Kegang Level Equipment to the second and third place winners, and personally handed out the basic equipment to the top one hundred, all on the podium, in front of all high-ranking members of the Star-Eye Clan.
Everyone was smiling, aware that Ye Zhongming was using this to enhance their sense of honor and closeness, but this was a good thing, and they didn't mind.
However, after watching the first individual competition, the training commander, Bashiru, suddenly asked after Ye Zhongming finished distributing the rewards: “The first place score is already close to the average score of silver warriors, right? And how much is the average score of the top one hundred compared to yours?”
This latter question was directed at Pao Bai.
Bashiru was a robust man with a ring of bone tissue wrapped around his neck. Although he held the position of training commander, he was primarily responsible for the training of the three major teams of the Star-Eye Clan. He rarely had the chance to intervene; in fact, he was only responsible for the training of the novice camp and the patriarch's guard, his position being more like a guard leader.
However, since he held the title of training commander, he was very attentive to various training data. After seeing the assessment of the Bronze Camp, he felt something was off.
Pao Bai shot an unamused glance at Ye Zhongming, somewhat awkwardly saying, “The first place score is indeed nearly on par with the average score of the Silver Camp. As for the average score of the top one hundred, it’s slightly behind ours, but not by much.”
The eyes of the two clan leaders brightened.
The strongest combat force in the Star-Eye Clan was undoubtedly the Gold Camp, which surpassed all teams. The Silver Camp was a step behind, while the Bronze Camp was the weakest, with a considerable gap between them, much larger than the difference between the Gold and Silver Camps.
“Actually, this isn’t my credit. The current state of the Bronze Camp is distinctly uneven. The strong individuals are very close to the Silver Camp's level, and some have even reached it in specific areas. For instance, the one just now was originally a hundred-man leader, with fuleira levels nearing eight thousand. If he hadn’t focused solely on cultivation, he could have held a deputy commander position. But more people are quite weak, averaging around three thousand fuleira, with many not even reaching that.”
