It was clear that no one expected Ye Zhongming to directly take the red dress guard with him.
After all, Ye Zhongming had mentioned that he came back through smuggling and wanted to leave the same way. If it was smuggling, could he really bring so many people along?
However, Ye Zhongming understood that it was merely about spending a bit more money. Compared to taking nine-star evolvers, the cost of bringing eight-star evolvers was significantly lower. The earth had just provided him with over a hundred million years gold, which was enough to teleport hundreds of people at once.
As for why he wanted to bring the red dress guard…
The reason was extremely simple.
Ye Zhongming needed people—loyal subordinates who would fight for him without any hesitation.
Could he rely on the Star-Eye Clan? The Bronze Camp?
To some extent, yes, but they ultimately belonged to the Star-Eye Clan. They could die for Ye Zhongming, but they would never betray the Star-Eye Clan for him.
This didn’t mean Ye Zhongming would oppose the Star-Eye Clan in the future; rather, he had his own grand plan for the Great Country District. He had even repaired a separate base for this purpose, and he needed true allies with the same bloodline.
In a situation where he could not take tens of thousands of people, who had stronger combat capabilities in a small group? Naturally, it was the red dress guard.
As for whether they would lose their professions or the benefits from their team book when they reached the sky, those were simply not issues.
Was the strength of the red dress guard derived from these aspects? No!
Their greatest strength was themselves.
The team book could be replaced by ancient formation techniques, and as for equipment, that was even less of a concern. In extreme circumstances, Ye Zhongming could have them all equipped with renyi level gear within half a universe year.
Moreover, their bloodlines would not be lost; they were all carefully selected from Cloud Summit, each possessing unique abilities that complemented one another.
Additionally, because Ye Zhongming was already aware of what to expect in the sky, before leaving, he would bring out all the stock from Cloud Summit. Any item that could permanently increase their physical stats, be it potions, scrolls, or function cards, would all be utilized by the red dress guard, laying a solid foundation for them.
Another point that made Ye Zhongming very confident was that nine-star potions could also be improved.
Cloud Summit could now produce improved potions at a maximum level of eight stars, and the red dress guard would be the beneficiaries. In other words, this particular technology from Cloud Summit had matured.
The reason there were no nine-star evolution potions yet was that they were too precious to provide Liu Zhenghong with enough for research. However, the potion improvement system had already been established, and the only thing lacking for nine-star improvement was a clinical trial.
To this end, Ye Zhongming had specifically asked Liu Zhenghong about the chances of success, and Sister Hong had given an almost certain answer.
Thus, if this technology were taken to the sky, the red dress guard could quickly all become nine-star evolvers, and initially, fuleira would already have hundreds of levels.
As for why there were no improved potion technologies in the sky, it wasn’t that they didn’t exist; rather, the people up there didn’t really need them. They would cultivate themselves, breaking through various limits. The nine-star level was the easiest to cross, but to continue increasing fuleira after reaching nine-star was a challenge that not everyone growing in the universe could achieve.
Ye Zhongming was confident that he could enhance the red dress guard’s combat capabilities in a short time, and within a year, their overall strength would surpass that of the Bronze Camp.
By then, the red dress guard would once again become the sharpest weapon in his hand.
With the candidates confirmed, Cloud Summit began preparations. After all, besides Xia Bai and the red dress guard, everyone else had their own positions and tasks to manage. Even the earth yellow pill and Yama Tree had certain duties related to training battle beasts or participating in various experiments, while Liang Chuyin had to find someone to take over her squad.
