CHAPTER TEXT:
"Two-in-One" wasn't that Ye Zhongming didn't want to place a heavy bet, but rather that he wanted to win.
He was confident that his four companions could secure first place. Although he couldn't guarantee a victory, the odds seemed quite favorable.
The King of Cloud Summit didn't truly believe that four individuals with the maximum two thousand fuleira, equipped with renyi level sets and various other preparations, couldn't carve a path in the novice battlefield.
However, seeing so many participants this time, along with the Hall People's clear targeting actions, made Ye Zhongming feel a bit more concerned despite his confidence.
Moreover, he still had some money on hand, and placing a heavy bet would inevitably attract attention, which wasn't good for keeping his identity hidden.
Of course, after looking at the rules, Ye Zhongming scoffed a bit at the betting method.
With no odds, and simply winning meant splitting the bets of others, what was the difference between a hundred thousand years gold and ten million years gold?
Ye Zhongming felt that the novice battlefield hadn't started yet, so the betting options were casually thrown up, not to let everyone win money here, but to give members a 'warm-up' opportunity.
To stir up excitement, and then talk about it, this should be the intention behind it. Such an organization wouldn't rely on these crude projects for members to place bets.
Ye Zhongming closed the network and began gathering materials to craft some equipment, planning to take advantage of the fact that many members were present for this opportunity and see if he could make a few deals.
Speaking of materials, Ye Zhongming had actually seized quite a bit from the Tarros Red Dwarf last time.
The total value was about five billion.
This figure was calculated bit by bit with everyone after Ye Zhongming returned.
Everyone was astounded, losing sleep over it that night.
Yes, it was too much. How much did a piece of divine level equipment cost? It was said that the profits from the self-discipline sale this time were about that much.
To put it this way, if these materials were given to another top-tier artisan, they would probably last them for decades, even for a divine artisan, under continuous usage.
In fact, only a divine artisan would have the qualifications to use materials worth more than fifty billion years gold in a lifetime.
Due to his mental strength, Ye Zhongming certainly didn't fall into the 'ordinary artisan' category, but to be honest, aside from supplementing some lacking materials, what he already had was enough for him to use for a long time.
Long, at least two to three years.
After all, Ye Zhongming's manufacturing speed was dozens of times faster than others.
So, whether fifty days or five hundred days, Ye Zhongming could manage.
Currently, Ye Zhongming had made progress in his manufacturing skills.
This was no easy feat, regardless of the profession, once reaching a sufficiently high level, moving upward again became very difficult.
The artisan profession, being a manufacturing type, was even more so; otherwise, the Tarros Red Dwarf wouldn't have seen times when divine artisans simply didn't exist.
This stage of progress was mainly due to Ye Zhongming's research into manufacturing sets and mechanical battle armor, which deepened his understanding of mechanics and control, combined with his continuous learning of the advanced knowledge and technology of the All Races of the Universe, allowing him to clearly feel his own improvement.
Although the materials were valued at five billion, in Ye Zhongming's mind, he was fully aware of their worth. After selecting some, he began refining them, with the Mechanical Genius assisting him.
By the time the novice battlefield at Mashan was about to start the next day, Ye Zhongming had crafted a set of seven renyi level equipment.
The Mechanical Genius counted on his fingers and looked at Ye Zhongming, saying, "You crafted these seven pieces of equipment by refining them ten times in total, failing three times. Including all costs, you spent only a million years gold. Given your previous selling price for such sets... you earned quite a bit."
