Ye Zhongming listened as if it were nothing, not feeling embarrassed at all. He nodded and said, "No problem."
This left Wen Chong feeling quite disheartened; his thick skin was truly impressive.
The Qiming Mark is a special piece of equipment that begins to appear on wheels of grade 4 and above. Its purpose is to mark a target with a hidden symbol, allowing the user to determine the target's location through the equipment.
This item is only at the lowest gray level, but its utility is significant. In the past life, it was often used to mark mutated beings that had been found but could not be attacked immediately. Of course, it could also be used to mark certain individuals, making it easier to protect or seek revenge.
This is the function of the basic Qiming Mark. Intermediate and advanced versions of this type of equipment even have various other functions, such as danger protection, damage enhancement, and negative status effects, making it quite practical.
Ye Zhongming obtained a basic Qiming Mark during a trade in Linhai. Its function was simple, only serving to mark the target's location. When he met Wen Chong, he immediately used it on this commander, obviously for precautionary measures. In case things turned sour between the two sides, one could imagine that Wen Chong would face endless retribution from Ye Zhongming, who would know exactly where he was.
Ye Zhongming removed the Qiming Mark from Wen Chong but did not put it away. Instead, in front of everyone, he... applied it to Xiao Xiu.
"You!"
"This is your territory; I have to be cautious. If you have such equipment, you can use it on me too. I wouldn’t mind."
Thanks to his reconnaissance equipment, Wen Chong was able to detect the Qiming Mark. He did not expect that Ye Zhongming would still boldly mark his sister. Anger flickered across his face.
"If you have no intention of harming me, why care about this mark that has no other function? Or do you want to commit murder and plunder?"
Ye Zhongming put away his smile, and his words made the people in the room tense up.
Wen Chong shrugged, quickly changing the topic, leaving the Qiming Mark on Xiao Xiu.
The two chatted for a while and finalized the purchase plan for the Evolution Potion. Generally, the price of these modified Evolution Potions is around one hundred magic crystals for the corresponding level. Wen Chong and the others did not find this price expensive, especially since Guangyao had previously brought some back, and their effects were quite good.
In fact, these modified potions were even more valued by Commander Wen than magic crystal weapons, as they were of greater help for establishing his subdivisions.
However, just like the magic crystal weapons, Ye Zhongming still refused to sell the technology for the modified potions, leaving Wen Chong feeling helpless.
But he understood; if he had that technology, he wouldn’t sell it to anyone, no matter the price.
After discussing the main matters, Wen Chong handed Ye Zhongming a pass — the entry document for tomorrow's auction. If Ye Zhongming had any good items, he could auction them there, and he could also purchase items he found appealing.
Unexpectedly, the organizer of this auction was the Ogre Chain, indicating that this organization had a close connection with the Resistance Zone.
After sending off the commanders from T Zone, Ye Zhongming finally felt that safety issues were less of a concern. T Zone clearly wanted to make Cloud Summit Villa a long-term partner. Although Wen Chong did not elaborate, it should be similar to what Ye Zhongming had guessed. The competition among resistance zones was fierce, and they were in a life-and-death situation where they might even swallow each other. Having a friend like Ye Zhongming was much more beneficial to T Zone than having another enemy.
