When Ye Zhongming received a report from his subordinate that the commander of the demonic scorpion war department, Song Tianze, wanted to meet him, he was feeling frustrated while looking at a set of Rong Clan Holy Armor.
The two sets of Rong Clan Holy Armor he acquired were both white level, which means they were of good quality. Learning from the previous failure in improving the Rong Clan Holy Armor, this time Ye Zhongming was very cautious in his modifications.
Since Xiao Peng was to remain here in charge of the Cloud Port Branch, Ye Zhongming had already promoted him to the level of a six-star evolver. He gave the remaining bottle of six-star evolution potion to Liang Chuyin.
Naturally, Xiao Peng was moved to receive such a precious evolution potion. He had jumped from a low-level evolver directly to a major player, and with six-star strength, he was already at the top level now, holding significant power.
All of this was given by Ye Zhongming. Xiao Peng now completely regarded himself as a part of Cloud Summit and was determined to make a big impact in Cloud Port, wanting to live up to Ye Zhongming's trust in him.
The six-star evolution required some time, and currently, Xiao Peng had not yet awakened, but Ye Zhongming was already planning to create a set of Rong Clan Holy Armor for him.
To vigorously enhance Xiao Peng's strength, it was essential for him to maintain authority over his subordinates internally and to deter those eyeing the Cloud Port Base externally.
Once Ye Zhongming left, Xiao Peng, along with the remaining key members from Cloud Summit, needed to truly support this branch; otherwise, all of Ye Zhongming's investment would go to waste.
However, this was not a losing venture; the ocean was far richer in resources than land. Once the Cloud Port Branch was established, it would continuously supply Ye Zhongming with large quantities of materials and magic crystals, and it could also cultivate a formidable armed force for Cloud Summit Villa.
After taking some blood from the unconscious Xiao Peng, Ye Zhongming planned to replicate the successful experience of creating the Rong Clan Holy Armor for Mo Ye and forge a set of exclusive equipment.
However, to his disappointment, the first attempt at improvement failed.
This was something Ye Zhongming had not anticipated. This time, the modification was carried out strictly according to Mo Ye's previous method, incorporating rare materials like Ghost Gold and Drilling Sea Gold, along with Xiao Peng's blood for blood refinement and promotion.
Yet, it failed nonetheless.
This was a white-level Rong Clan Holy Armor, invaluable, and with this failure, Ye Zhongming could not pinpoint where he went wrong. He hesitated to bring out a second set for modification.
Now, hearing that Song Tianze was looking for him, Ye Zhongming felt even more irritable and even entertained the thought of snatching the man's Rong Clan Holy Armor away.
When he saw Song Tianze, Ye Zhongming rolled his eyes in annoyance.
This guy hadn't even put on the Rong Clan Holy Armor!
He was clearly wary of Ye Zhongming. Ye Zhongming squeezed his hands, squinting at Song Tianze.
This made Song Tianze jump; he almost turned to run away.
He was proud and confident but not foolish. He knew he couldn't beat the seven-star evolver named Xia Bai, and he probably couldn't beat this guy named Ye Zhongming either. Now, seeing Ye Zhongming look at him like he was a mere chicken for slaughter, how could he not be afraid?
This was an apocalypse where rules did not exist. Although he knew the other was wary of the resistance zone's influence and wouldn't go too far, what if this guy went crazy?
"Sit!"
Ye Zhongming pointed to a small stool opposite him.
Song Tianze's features nearly twisted together; he took a deep breath twice before moving over. He was tall, and when he sat down, he looked like a wronged little wife.
But for the sake of his life, Song Tianze endured.
"What's the matter?"
Having ruined a set of Rong Clan Holy Armor, Ye Zhongming's mood was naturally not good, and his tone was not pleasant as he didn't even look at Song Tianze.
