Chapter 401: Earning more money

Ye Zhongming didn’t care about how Neal would send him in. What he needed to do was to keep his promise.

Blue Secret Realm became a resource base for him. He would be back and would try to take advantage of it. So, building a base was something he needed, which included having a good relationship with them.

Of course, he wanted to mend their relationship. After all, he used the Explosive Mechanic to threaten them. They would lose face. Although they decided to work together, they were working together; he had to give them some benefits.

So, in the two days that Neal left, Ye Zhongming created many good weapons. Although most were grey, the success rate was high. He just needed blueprints and materials.

On the third day, Neal still wasn’t here. Even Laura didn’t know when her husband would be back. She saw that Ye Zhongming was anxious. She brought him to a place, and he forgot about leaving when he arrived.

Laura brought him to the... Rubbish pile.

It wasn’t the normal rubbish pile but one of the four processing units in the Imperial City. As it was beside Neal's tribe, they were in charge of it.

There were a few hundred working here. They used special methods like burying and using them as fertilizer, scattering some powder to turn them into oil used on those lamps. That impressed Ye Zhongming as he didn’t know why the oil burnt but didn’t give off a smell.

Ye Zhongming even saw that they raised bugs. They brought these bones into a huge hole and tossed these bugs in. The bugs will eat all the meat off the bone, and the bones will become usable materials. After the bugs were full, they would return to their nest to lay eggs before dying. Their corpses would be turned into powder, mixed with water, and become glue. It was firm and tough, and the tents built with the glue wouldn’t fall even after many years.

But what attracted him the most was naturally the crystals and some materials.

Out of the few dozen-story-high rubbish piles, there were many crystals. It was even purposely left after the rumors spread that they could trade it for weapons. But this place would be cleared once in a very long time, so the crystals left before dazzled him.

But what he cared more about were the materials.

These materials didn’t decompose after such a long time. He did a simple search and wiped the dust off some of them. He noticed that they were level five and above. Anyone could enchant a weapon, and it could become a white-grade weapon.

Creating high-level equipment wasn’t as simple as merging things. He needed to throw in high-grade materials like Ghost Metal, at least. But these things alone made him a white equipment-producing machine.

“Ten thousand grey equipment for each of the six tribes. Two thousand white equipment.”

Ye Zhongming rolled his eyes. How long would that take?

But he realized a problem and blinked at Neal, “You didn’t tell them about the silver weapons.”

“You can’t let them get all the benefits!”

“Five silver equipment. As for the others, you can explain to the kings yourself.”

“Impossible.”

“Ten, whether you keep or split, I don’t care.”

“I...”

“I will give Laura and your son a silver piece of equipment each as a gift. If not, then it means your power is limited.”

Neal stared at Ye Zhongming. After a while, he smiled.

“I know you won’t complete all of them before you enter the pool, but you must finish six. That doesn’t include the ones for Laura and my son.”

“Deal!”

The two of them laughed.

Ye Zhongming knew that the day he left was here if things went smoothly.This chapter's initial release occurred on the n0vell--Bjjn site.
