With a bang, a cup fell onto the magnificent marble floor. The fragments exploded in all directions and hit the glass beads of a sculpture nearby, making a crisp sound.
"I've given you so many days, and you're just going to tell me this result?"
An old man was holding an expensive-looking wooden stick. He looked at the man in front of him with gloomy eyes, as if he wanted to kill him.
If you don’t look at the messy world outside the window on the top floor of a high-rise building, just look at the solid wood conference table and leather sofa here, just look at the Martell Tricentenary Master Limited Edition Cognac opened here, and just look at the clean and tidy appearance of this old man. It’s hard for you to imagine the brocade Tang suit, but it’s been more than a month since the end of the world.
"Mr. Wang, I know Xiaodao's death makes you sad, but now that things have happened, we don't have to worry. As long as those people who killed Xiaodao Akuan are still alive, we can find them. It's the end of the world now, and they can't go too far. of."
Another middle-aged man sitting around the solid wood conference table raised his cup and took a sip of the amber liquid inside. He looked at the old man holding the wooden stick with his small eyes, gloating a little.
"Humph, the person who died is not your relative, so of course you are not in a hurry."
"Aren't you more than just a relative?"
"Tong Yang!"
The two people were facing each other across the conference table, glaring at each other, and the atmosphere was tense.
Dr. Mu, who was standing aside, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He was really a little scared just now because he was very elegant. The old man was Xiaodao's father, Wang Fulin, one of the five giants of the royal union, a real one-star powerful man. A professional with terrifying strength. As an auxiliary professional pharmacist, he was an existence that he could not afford to offend.
This time, Dr. Mu, who was supposed to provide support, failed to arrive on time, causing the death of Xiaodao Akuan and the Zhang family brothers and sisters. Although he does not need to bear all the responsibility, part of the responsibility cannot be escaped. If the old man really kills Dr. Mu, he probably won't have much of a burden.
Fortunately, Boss Tong Yangtong still protects Dr. Mu.
"enough!"
A man sitting in the middle wears a mask. The pale background and the facial features represented by four black circles of different sizes make people look creepy.
He is the boss of the Royal Trade Union. As for his identity, perhaps only the other four giants know something about it. It is impossible for Dr. Mu, a second-tier leader of the royal union, to know.
Everyone's eyes fell on the president who was wearing a mask and sounded like he was not too old.
"Continue to look for these people, and we must find the whereabouts of the Staff of Nature." The big leader's hand with an emerald wrench tapped on the table, and his tone became gloomy. "The people from the Retail Chamber of Commerce are here. This time, there is a two-star evolution potion in the transaction list. I think this should be something everyone wants."
The other four giants in the room and the one or two subordinates they each brought with them immediately began to whisper among themselves. The temptation of the two-star potion was too great.
Among the giants in the room now, only the president is a two-star evolver. Where did this bottle of two-star evolution potion come from? How much did the royal union pay? Only these giants know it themselves!
That was obtained in exchange for the interests of the entire union! If they hadn't been lucky enough to find a colored roulette wheel, maybe the Royal Union, except for this two-star evolver and some one-star evolvers, wouldn't be as strong as the more famous survivor teams outside.
"Without the staff of nature, what do you want this time?" Tong Yang straightened his body. Obviously, they are very interested in this bottle of two-star evolution potion. The other giants are also the same. Everyone wants to become a two-star evolver as soon as possible.
The big leader pondered for a moment, "People, a lot of people."
Several giants looked at each other, very puzzled.
VIP!
What do you want people for?
Now in the apocalypse, ordinary people are useless. They have no role other than consuming food. If they are not managed well, they will launch a rebellion or something like that. When every force recruits ordinary people. Everyone will do what they can, and there will never be as many people as they want.
And after the end of the world began, many people mutated, were killed, and became infected. They were eaten, but there are still a huge number of people surviving. It’s not difficult to recruit people, right? Just search around the city and you can find dozens or more in a day.
That mysterious and powerful retail commerce guild makes people fear from the bottom of their bones. What do you want people for?
The two-star evolution potions last time were all replaced with attribute stones, radiant equipment, one-star evolution potions, and immunity potions. Why do you need people this time?
"How much do they want?"
The vice president of another royal union asked slowly.
"If it's an ordinary person, they need 20,000 people. If it's a one-star evolved person, one one-star evolved person is equivalent to a thousand people."
"They still want evolved people?" This time it was Xiaodao's father, Wang Fulin, who spoke.
"What are they going to do?"
"They shouldn't be short of evolution potions, right? I heard they have more than a dozen roulettes alone."
"Are they going to expand their military?"
"Then aren't we in danger?"
People in the room were talking a lot. When encountering such a thing, the first instinct of people in the apocalypse is a sense of crisis. This is a very normal thing.
"Shut up!"
The president of Royal Mask roared, and everyone fell silent instantly.
"Although we found the two-star roulette and paid a huge price to occupy it, turning the roulette requires level 2 magic crystals. We can only turn it two or three times after accumulating it for a week. After half a month, a bottle of two-star potion is enough." did not receive."
As he said that, Guild Master Mask paused, "Not only did we not get the two-star evolution potion, the explosion of the color wheel caused us heavy losses, and the death of Xiaodao Kuan and the others greatly reduced our strength. What we need to consider now is how to increase Strength, rather than understanding why retail merchants who can increase our strength need people! Do you understand? "
Everyone in the room nodded.
"Then do it now. You have five days to find 20,000 people."
Tong Yang frowned and said in a low voice: "President, are you pressed for time? There are dangers outside now, and we actually don't have many manpower. We have to capture 20,000 people in less than a week. This is a bit..."
Guild Master Mask did not speak immediately, but picked up the wine glass in front of him, swayed the liquid inside and said slowly: "There are some gathering places that we originally wanted to turn into sources of magic crystals, materials, and information, so it has been very You're welcome. If we want to get good things from him that can be exchanged for the two-star evolution potion, we all take the trading route. Unfortunately. Everything is meaningless now. The things have been taken away by others, and the gathering place is no longer under our control. Then We won’t be polite anymore, right?”
"For example, Ulan County."
……………………………………………………………………………………
Ye Zhongming gained a lot from being in Jedi. He was originally in a good mood, but he became extremely bad after hearing the three words "Ling Chamber of Commerce".
He did not tell others why this happened because he had not experienced it personally. If you haven’t seen it with your own eyes, you won’t be able to understand what it means to be a retail trade association that represents bloody, inhumane, and public enemies of mankind in the last ten years.
If I had to use any words to describe Ye Zhongming's feelings about the Retail Chamber of Commerce, it would be four words.
A bunch of beasts.
For everyone who has survived for ten years in the apocalypse, their hands must be stained with blood. It is not an exaggeration for everyone to be called an executioner.
To be called a beast by such a person can only be imagined the reputation of the Retail Chamber of Commerce.
But what Ye Zhongming didn't expect was that the Retail Chamber of Commerce would also show up just after he arrived. If possible, he really didn't want to run into this giant in his previous life now.
but. The previous life created the beast-like Retail Chamber of Commerce, and also created the determined Ye Zhongming. If he didn't have to, he would never provoke the Retail Chamber of Commerce at this stage, but he also knew that sometimes whether things happened or not had nothing to do with him. His subjective will has little to do with it, so what he can do is to be fully prepared. If there is any conflict with the retail merchant association, then he will give them a hard blow.
So he decided. After the Jedi harvest, use the Sacrifice Gate once, even if it is a bit wasteful at this time.
Take out the golden epic equipment. Seeing that the energy lines from the previous scale were still maintained in the gem, Ye Zhongming began to put a lot of materials into it.
These are all harvests from the valley, but Ye Zhongming also has a choice. He left behind materials that can be used to make armor-breaking bullets. After all, in the next year, the use of armor-breaking bullets will sometimes be more than that of Front Moon.
Taking the materials that were almost exchanged for natural gems, he threw them into the Sacrifice Gate one by one. It would be false to say that I don't feel bad. These things will definitely play a big role in the future, especially Ye Zhongming is still a craftsman, and he may need to use these things one day in the future.
Looking at the rising energy lines in the gem on the door of sacrifice, Ye Zhongming felt a sense of satisfaction despite feeling distressed.
Maybe I am the only one using golden equipment now.
Even after all the temporarily unused materials were put in, the energy gems of the Sacrifice Gate were still not filled, and there was still only one last bit left.
Ye Zhongming, who had already estimated the energy, knew that at least tens of thousands of first-level magic crystals would be needed for just this one.
Gritting his teeth, Ye Zhongming was reluctant to throw the magic crystal inside. After all, the magic crystal was going to be used now, so he directly threw in a piece of ghost gold.
Seeing that a piece of ghost gold that could greatly improve the quality of equipment and even have very special skills disappeared, Ye Zhongming grinned in distress.
The gems were finally filled up after the ghost gold was put in, but there was no change at all. Ye Zhongming was stunned for a moment, not understanding what was happening. After thinking about it, he tried to put in another first-level magic crystal. He found that at the bottom of the gem, there was a brighter energy line.
I wipe it! You don't have to fill it with gems again, do you?
This thought made Ye Zhongming feel bad all over. Was it filling him up again? It is indeed possible to pack up all your belongings, but it is definitely a loss-making business, and you will lose one piece of ghost money!
What's more, what if after filling it up, the Sacrifice Gate lets you fill up the gem for a third time?
Is this thing so stupid?
Ye Zhongming's forehead was sweating.
Forcing himself to calm down, he took the Sacrifice Door and looked around, feeling that it shouldn't be like this.
Ye Zhongming thought for a moment, then his heart moved, and he tried to gently tap the gem with his hand.
As if some switch was touched, the gem began to have brilliance flowing on it, and the golden door of sacrifice also lit up and gave off a dazzling light.
The light emitted by the gem was not dazzling, on the contrary, it was very soft. Ye Zhongming thought it would disappear in an instant, but instead of disappearing, the light became brighter and brighter, and finally turned from white to gold. The door slowly rose and turned into a beam of light in a moment.
The light beam continued to grow longer, and soon touched the roof, but the roof seemed to not exist in front of this light. It was penetrated without any blocking effect, and the golden light beam penetrated outside the house.
Quickly running out of the room, Ye Zhongming came outside and saw that the golden beam of light became bigger and longer without any obstruction, reaching into the sky!
Ye Zhongming's forehead is covered with black lines. It's night now. This golden light is so bright that the whole Yingcheng can see it!
Xia Lei and Mo Ye were also alarmed, and Dihuang Wan was so frightened by the beam of light that his hair stood on end, and he barked at the beam.
The team members were awakened and came out with weapons in hand. They saw the golden light pillar and were also shocked and speechless.
"Boss, what are you doing?"
It is not difficult to tell from the position of the golden light pillar that that is Ye Zhongming's room. It is obvious that this thing was made by Ye Zhongming, but the movement was too loud.
"Pack your things and we'll leave right away!"
Ye Zhongming gave the order, knowing that the situation here would soon cause countless troubles. Zombie monsters would gather immediately, and the survivors would come because of this golden light. They would feel that something good had appeared.
At that time, once they encounter Ye Zhongming's team, no explanation will be of any use. They will be attacked without hesitation, dreaming of killing them and getting the golden treasure.
Ye Zhongming is indeed confident in the strength of himself and his team, but he is not yet to the point of becoming enemies with all the forces in Yingcheng.
The entire Yingcheng woke up because of this golden light. The roars of zombies and the screams of monsters were heard by the wind. The situation became extremely serious due to this accident.
Fortunately, this golden light did not last long. After more than ten seconds, the golden light began to gradually fade, and then slowly disappeared into the sky.
Ye Zhongming hurried back to his room and saw an antique square box appearing under the mirror-like light door of the Sacrifice Door on the ground.
"Class C dedication box (small)." (To be continued.)
