The chaotic noise outside did not affect Ye Zhongming. He and an old man were quietly sipping tea.
These teas are a specialty of Buru Secret Realm. After being fried by several members of Yunding who have mastered the peacetime tea-making technology, they have a strong tea aroma and a special and obvious sweet aftertaste. They are one of Ye Zhongming's favorite drinks. Quoted often, it has great benefits for the body.
Of course, Ye Zhongming's feeling was not obvious. Firstly, because his physical fitness was too strong, this increase was of no avail, and secondly, he drank too much and was used to it.
But that doesn't mean that other people will do the same. The old man in front of him was looking at the smell with surprise and envy.
"Yunding, are all such good things?"
The old man put down his tea cup. He had already drank three cups in a row and was still a little unsatisfied.
Ye Zhongming smiled and said, "Mr. An is here, so naturally he has to bring out some high-end goods."
This old man with white beard and hair is the boss behind Chenguang Pavilion and the maker of the four dragon heads in Black Dragon City, An Lao.
Mr. An laughed, touched his beard, and then said: "Zhuang Master Ye seems not surprised at all that I guessed your identity."
"Those pieces of equipment have my mark on them. Others don't care or don't recognize them, but how can I hide them from you who have gone through the craftsmanship?"
Mr. An nodded and sighed: "I thought that even if I was not the best craftsman in the country, I would still be one of the best, but seeing the equipment you made, and the equipment you made, there are also those on the national rankings. I just realized that the gap between those equipment and yours is so big that it makes me feel desperate."
Ye Zhongming waved his hand: "Mr. An, you are being humble. Although we observed closely, even from a distance, we know that the four dragon heads you made are not ordinary purple equipment. They are connected to the structure inside the city wall. It has four different attack methods, and the power of each is adjustable. I even guess that if the energy can keep up, it should be able to pose a threat to nine-level lives."
Looking at Mr. An's shocked face, Ye Zhongming continued: "The ninth-level human bear king who always comes here to ask for sweets actually has some thoughts about the four dragon heads, right? Although they are dead, they are still protected by your special The technique retains... nutrition. As time goes by and the energy in the city wall is nourished, this nutrition is constantly improving for him, and its attraction to it is getting bigger and bigger, is that right?"
Mr. An couldn't open his mouth and was silent for a moment, "If I hadn't been sure that you had never been to Black Dragon City and had never been to the inside of the city wall, I would really have thought that you were involved in the production of the four dragon heads. How could you tell?"
Ye Zhongming didn't speak, and this kind of thing couldn't be explained clearly in words. It was completely a kind of experience and intuition after he evolved to the top glory craftsman.
But one thing he didn't lie was that he really admired the Four Dragon Heads very much. Even Ye Zhongming himself could not guarantee that he could produce the same or similar equipment.
He really admired this old man An.
An Lao sighed, "There used to be a saying that the peak of debut is the peak. As for me, the first time I made purple equipment was my peak. From now on, I guess I will never be able to make equipment better than the Four Dragon Heads. ”
Seeing that Ye Zhongming wanted to comfort him, Mr. An interrupted with a smile, "What I said is true. The birth of the Four Dragon Heads can be said to be the right time, the right place, the right people, and the excellent materials. At that time, I was just evolving to The peak state of a senior craftsman also received a semi-finished energy connection base, which is why we have today's four dragon heads."
"In the future, even if I can advance further in the craftsman level, it will be impossible to find such materials and energy connection bases again. These are things that can be encountered but cannot be sought."
Ye Zhongming was silent for a moment, but nodded honestly.
Indeed, there are many conditions required for a good work to come out. If Ye Zhongming hadn't been lucky enough to obtain precious materials such as ghost gold, diamonds, and sea gold, and if it hadn't been for the large amount of resources provided by the Blue Secret Realm, he wouldn't have been able to It is even more impossible to create so much purple equipment after being promoted to the level of super craftsman so smoothly.
He might have gone bankrupt after failing twice. How could he be as unafraid of failure as he is now?
"Mr. An, are you looking for me for something?"
After Ye Zhongming saw off the big guys, Mr. An came to the door, obviously something was wrong.
Mr. An said: "Can I ask first, what are you going to do by gathering these children?"
He pointed outside where the noise was still going on.
Ye Zhongming asked Xiaoxuan to send a message to the children in Black Dragon City, who had no relatives and no power to rely on, that Ye Zhongming could take them in, give them food, clothing, basic safety, and even Some evolution potions can also be provided, but they need to follow Ye Zhongming away to the far north.
No one knows better than these children in Black Dragon City that there are dangers further north. Wherever you go, you are destined to face great dangers.
However, Ye Zhongming also gave hope... In the future, he would not have to worry about food and clothing, he would not be bullied, and he might even get the evolution potion.
Aren't these the goals of this group of orphans?
So when Xiaoxuan and his friends spread the news, all the children in Black Dragon City soon knew about it, and many people came to see the situation, even some who belonged to powerful forces came.
Rather than ignoring the danger, they see hope.
"If it were someone else, I would definitely stop it. I, Lao An, still have the final say in this city and will not let anyone take these children away. Even if they are not the hope of this city, they are still the fresh blood here. .”
"But if it's Yunding, it's you Ye Zhongming who wants to do this. Then I can't find any reason to stop it, and I don't have the qualifications to stop it. I just want to ask why you want to do this. As far as I know, Yunding Villa does not seem to confirm that as long as you open your mouth, the evolutionists from the country will flock to you and be willing to become your subordinates. These children should not be qualified."
"I'm going to build a boy army."
Ye Zhongming gave the answer directly.
He stood up and looked at the crowded crowd outside through the clean windows. Ye Zhongming said, "Has Mr. An ever thought that we will all die?"
Faced with this sudden change, An Lao was stunned for a moment, and then said: "When the end of the world began, I thought about when I would die every day, but as my evolutionary level increased, and as my craftsman profession was obtained and promoted, As more and more people treat me with respect, and as I no longer have to hunt, I haven't thought about death for a long time."
"This is probably the difference between you and me. You are not only the best craftsman, but also the most powerful evolver. I can only sit in the room and make equipment, but you have to face various challenges all the time. You meet To death, and I, have forgotten death.”
He also stood up and walked to Ye Zhongming's side.
"Although you and I are both eight-star evolutionaries, when I saw you for the first time, I knew that the gap between us was too big. It was not just a matter of strength, but also of opinions, cognition, and understanding of each other. Future Judgment.”
Mr. An may have met the first person in the country, and he said a lot of his thoughts in the short period of time after the meeting.
"Since you mentioned death, there must be something that makes you feel in danger, and I probably can't solve the problem that makes the first person in the country feel in danger." Mr. An smiled mockingly to himself, not angry at all, but Very convinced.
"Help me, don't ask or answer. I'm old and can't bear the pressure." Mr. An said, pointing to the children outside, "If there are people who won't let go, I'll be responsible for telling them."
Ye Zhongming suddenly felt that this old man was very interesting, very measured, and very... wise.
"Actually, it's nothing. After seeing Xiaoxuan here, I feel that they carry hope, not only about life and death, but also inheritance. You know, each of us has not believed in others until today. , the same goes for me. I took them away when I encountered them because I thought Genting and I could better protect this hope."
Mr. An nodded and made it clear, "If you take them to the far north, it is estimated that many of them will not be able to come back."
"Hope is not just hope, but also hope in the survival of the fittest."
Ye Zhongming and An Lao returned to the table, and Ye Zhongming asked what other things there were.
"There are two more things I want to ask you for help with."
"you say."
Mr. An started to talk about the first thing. Ye Zhongming was surprised when he heard it.
This senior professional craftsman actually invited Ye Zhongming to cooperate in making a piece of equipment.
"It's like this. I had an adventure before and got two drawings, very strange one-time drawings."
Ye Zhongming said that he knew that he had seen this type of thing, such as the fixed mold formula he got from Zhang Dalong in the City of Tree Corpses, the Arli Essence Water that gave him a second life, and it was a one-time use. formula.
"The first one was that kind of energy connection base, which I used on the four dragon heads. The second one has been put on hold because of lack of materials. It was only recently that I gathered all the necessary materials. thing."
Mr. An's expression was a little excited, but also a little melancholy.
"But when making something like this, five craftsmen are required to work together. Each one has to complete a separate part, and then they work together to complete the final shape."
Ye Zhongming was interested. He had never heard of this manufacturing method.
If five craftsmen can work together, then this formula must be very precious, and the final product is destined to be extremely extraordinary.
But Ye Zhongming didn't ask what it was. If Mr. An made such a request, he would definitely tell him, but maybe not now.
Just like what Ye Zhongming said just now, everyone in the last days trusts themselves more. Before the necessary moment, Mr. An probably won't reveal his true identity. He will definitely be on guard against the King of Genting. Maybe if the two of them hadn't talked just now It's very good, maybe the old man will give up this request.
But what Ye Zhongming expected was that Mr. An did not tell Ye Zhongming what he wanted to make, but he said that after the thing was made, he hoped Ye Zhongming would buy it.
"Listen to what you said, this piece of equipment must be a good thing. In that case, why don't you keep it for yourself?"
Ye Zhongming asked the doubts in his heart.
Mr. An smiled bitterly and touched his nose, "Of course I want to keep it for myself, but I can't. It's a crime to hold a treasure! It's just because the thing is so good that it will inevitably be given to many people. Ranking list in the country If it’s too conspicuous, this equipment will definitely be in the top five, or even the top three. If it were put in my hands, I wouldn’t survive more than two months.”
so good? Ye Zhongming knew that Mr. An was very conservative in what he said, because the equipment at the top of the equipment rankings belonged to Ye Zhongming. He probably felt embarrassed, but from what Ye Zhongming heard, Mr. An meant that after this piece of equipment is manufactured, It may not be as good as the mysterious Seven Color Equipment Sacrifice Gate, but it should be ranked second.
The second best piece of equipment? Better than the Wind and Thunder Twins?
Ye Zhongming's new area is thicker.
"But I have conditions. If you agree, then I will make the thing and sell it to you. If you don't agree, then I can also sell you the drawings directly. If you make it yourself, the price will be much cheaper. "
Hearing what Mr. An said, Ye Zhongming was a little helpless, "Mr. An, you'd better tell me what it is? The more I listen, the more confused I become."
Unexpectedly, instead of answering the question, Mr. An stopped talking about it and instead talked about the third thing.
