Ye Zhongming displayed a total of five pieces of renyi level equipment: two weapons, two pieces of armor, and one accessory. Among them, the accessory and one half of the weapons could be considered as high-end products.
The price of renyi level equipment is not easy to define. The most basic ones might go for around a hundred thousand years gold or even slightly lower, while better ones could be priced at several hundred thousand. The main factor is still demand. If it were before, Ye Zhongming would never have presented renyi level items to these small races, because they couldn't unleash their full power and wouldn't be able to sell for a high price.
Such items, often in the six-figure range, are too luxurious for these races that struggle to make ends meet. Perhaps one or two races among them might have renyi level equipment, but they would certainly keep it stored and wouldn’t bring it out unless in dire circumstances.
While kegang level and crimson condensation level equipment are good, Ye Zhongming only had the ones he brought out, which he had crafted during his spare time after returning from the planet hunting grounds. Some of them even included spoils that he had simply repaired and improved after capturing. Without Ye Zhongming’s terrifying speed in crafting equipment, these items wouldn't exist.
However, Ye Zhongming felt these items were still not enough. The crimson condensation level equipment could probably sell for several million years gold, while kegang level would be in the tens of millions. When averaged across each small race, this didn't amount to much.
At present, which of these small races hasn’t plundered millions of years gold from the Eight Heads? This doesn’t even account for the compensation and damages paid by the Star-Eye Clan and Ye Zhongming. Previously, the crimson condensation level and kegang level equipment only extracted a few million years gold from each race, far from their limits.
Yes, Ye Zhongming didn’t want them to have too much money. This idea had been in his mind from the start. He originally wanted to work alongside the Star-Eye Clan to drain wealth from these small races, turning it into other forms, such as weapons, equipment, potions, and machinery.
This way, they would be less likely to become complacent or overconfident. When people are used to being poor, if they suddenly become rich, their behavior can become uncontrollable.
Ye Zhongming regarded these small races in Dark Strip City as the foundation for his continued progress and the best source of soldiers for any future endeavors. If these small races, after benefiting from this battle, decided to close their doors and live modestly, or if they became inflated and frequently drew attention from other large races, that was not what Ye Zhongming wanted to see.
Particularly after what had happened with the Star-Eye Clan, Ye Zhongming understood that while these small races might be excellent fighters, their decline was not without reason. Their thinking was limited, or rather, having long been at the bottom of society affected their vision and mindset.
The renyi level items and those that followed were prepared to ensure these small races would exhaust their savings. Once they ran out of money, they wouldn’t become timid, would maintain their hunger, and would have the courage to continue fighting.
Now that the Star-Eye Clan was unreliable, the task of extracting wealth fell solely to him.
The renyi level equipment was usable and far more attractive to the leaders or decision-makers of these small races compared to the crimson condensation level. Looking at the five fine pieces of equipment before them, each person’s eyes lit up.
Ye Zhongming then announced the prices for these items. Ordinary renyi level weapons were priced at a hundred thousand years gold, while high-end ones were two hundred thousand. The two ordinary armor pieces were eighty thousand years gold, and the high-end armor was likewise priced at two hundred thousand years gold.
