In another external environment, Ye Zhongming would not have acted this way. After all, Dream Shattering is a precious resource, and using a little now means there would be less to obtain later, making it a challenging task to acquire in the future.
But now, being in the Rebel Zone, even though he was tied together with T Zone, Ye Zhongming felt a sense of unease in his heart. He always had a feeling that something was about to happen. This was a sensation formed from his years of living in the apocalypse, without reason yet often accurately predicting events.
He felt that there was an undercurrent flowing throughout Peak Pass, and it could surge at any moment, potentially affecting Cloud Summit and himself.
In such circumstances, it was always wise to make more preparations whenever possible.
Moreover, Ye Zhongming didn’t mind putting in extra effort for the female warriors who protected him with their lives; he was even willing to do so.
Thus, he used up more than half of the Dream Shattering he had on hand to ensure that these battle beasts would hatch overnight.
Although these battle beasts were still in their juvenile stage and would require time to become useful, some individuals could still provide passive abilities. In the future, Ye Zhongming could use the Water and Fire Cauldron to make them some meat soup to accelerate their growth. It was estimated that within six months, some powerful beings would achieve a certain level of combat capability.
He gave some remaining Battle Beast Eggs to Zhao Xingmei and assisted her in hatching a Jumping Mouse. This was a type of auxiliary battle beast that could enhance the owner's abilities in aspects like vision, hearing, and agility, and could also allow the owner's attacks to carry various energy types, increasing the power of skills.
For a bowman like Zhao Xingmei, this little fellow was extremely useful. Since obtaining this Jumping Mouse, the smile on the face of the first person of Ying City had not stopped, clearly very satisfied with this battle beast.
After a busy night dealing with battle beasts, Ye Zhongming intended to simply grab a bite for breakfast. However, when two large plates of tender, juicy steaks were brought out, he was astonished for quite some time. Upon inquiring, he learned that these were specially prepared for him by his female subordinates.
Ye Zhongming rolled his eyes; he hadn't noticed how they reacted when he provided them with Evolution Potions before. Now, after giving them some juvenile beasts that required their care and support, they came up with such a way to express their gratitude. Women, indeed, seem to have no resistance toward pets.
But Ye Zhongming was not polite with the steaks. Having not eaten such exquisite food for a long time, he finished them in no time.
That evening, he was scheduled to attend an auction with Wen Chong, and since he had nothing to do during the day, Ye Zhongming immediately began crafting equipment.
First up was the Thousand Leaf Scale Armor. Due to Ye Zhongming's recent improvement in crafting proficiency and with the addition of primary craftsmanship, his success rate for producing this protective armor with high-quality materials had risen to forty percent. If he used Ghost Gold or Drilling Sea Gold, the success rate could reach sixty percent, but of course, that would lower the quality significantly, making it nearly impossible to create green-level items. Ye Zhongming wasn't going to do that.
With the best materials in hand, Ye Zhongming started the crafting process.
This time, he planned to produce at least five pieces of this green armor, ensuring that he had enough for basic use.
The entire crafting process was filled with risks, and today was no exception; his first attempt ended in failure, giving Ye Zhongming a hard lesson, with an explosion that even drew inquiries from the nearby heavenly phenomenon war department.
But luck was unpredictable. After using all the Gold in Flesh he had received from Wen Chong, he managed to create seven pieces of green-level Thousand Leaf Scale Armor, surpassing his expectations by two pieces.
