Chapter 665: Stirring trouble
The treants wish was naturally not satisfied.
Ye Zhongming wanted to test it and see if his Gardener job could create a monster.
After all, after Ye Zhongming saw that stick, he was sure that its strength was around the silver grade.
Using activate, he could create a silver-grade weapon just by paying mental energy. That was a huge win.
He usually needed good blueprints and large amounts of materials to craft silver equipment. Although he could afford it, there was still a chance of failure.
A simple comparison, and one knew which was more worth it.
But the mental energy he spent was quite a sum. Moreover, he needed to use it on the treant, and there was uncertainty. Along with the fact that others couldnt use the wooden weapon, all these elements combined forced Ye Zhongming to give up on that thought.
He felt like he had the most mental energy in the world, but modifying the treant was still too tough for him.
There were two ways to see the treant fully activated. One was to wait until his mental energy increased again such that activating one small branch wouldnt consume a third of his energy. Next would be to advance his Gardener job and reduce the skill consumption.
Any of the options need some time.
So even if the treant asked Ye Zhongming to give himself that strong power, Ye Zhongming chose not to.
Of course, he didnt tell him the exact reason. At least this gave the treant another reason to join him.
Ye Zhongming and the treant continued to research while the process outside progressed quickly. After all, the demands werent much. The tunnel just had not to collapse, and they didnt care about how it looked. Three days was all it took to connect to Surging Motions base.
On the 4th day, Ye Zhongming and the treant took the lead and started to move the lab.
With the treants professional leadership, they knew which equipment was necessary and which they just needed a core portion of. This reduced the workload by three-quarters and saved a large amount of time.
They had a tunnel, so the moving of equipment was simple for survivors. They took just half a day, and the equipment was moved to Surging Motions camp. They protected it in layers of protective gear.
The process was smooth, but the camp atmosphere was very solemn.
It was too smooth.
Logically speaking, news of the Black Cloud Team and Stabbing Wing Battle Squads destruction should have spread. The tunnel passed many camps, and news of these factions working with Surging Motion was probably spread to half of the tunnel.
But apart from factions that came to ask questions, none of the factions led by Lin Xing popped their heads out.
This was weird.
Lin Xing's fear of Ye Zhongming couldn't explain this simply. Lin Xing was the only six-star evolved and the underground city's king. He was very strong. This truth came from the mouths of Yang Yixi, Mei Na, Gan Lan, and even the treant. Even the treant was unsure who was stronger.
That showed Lin Xings strength.
But such a person didnt find trouble with Ye Zhongming and Surging Motion. That was weird.
Ye Zhongming, the treant, Yang Yixi, Mei Na, Gan Lan, and a few faction leaders even came together to discuss the matter.
The conclusion was that Lin Xing had guessed what they were doing. He was waiting for them to do it, and then Make use of them to escape!
This conclusion wasnt a certainty, but it made the most sense.
But even if they guessed Lin Xings goal, everyone couldnt react. After all, the thousands of them were too weak compared to Lin Xings faction.
Since they could not actively solve the problem, they could only passively wait.
But everyone knew that when you were targeted, there would be accidents during the escape. It might cause the plan to fail. Lin Xing might even cause your team to suffer heavy losses and have a full collapse.
What should they do?
This became a problem for everyone.
They couldnt defeat them and didnt attack them, so they had to depend on luck.
Ye Zhongming frowned and thought about the plan.
If he was alone, he didnt have to care about all of this. He believed Lin Xing wasnt his match and couldnt stop him.
But he had to face the problem of transporting these pieces of equipment away. If an accident occurred when they fled, it might mean a machine was left here, which was a huge loss for Cloud Peak.
Thus, this problem became something that they had to solve.
Seeing everyone look at him, Ye Zhongming relaxed and tapped Ya Tian, sleeping on his leg. He handed her to her elder sister and then looked at everyone, There is a solution. It might be risky, but I think it is better than being a target.
What solution?
Everyone asked as it concerned their lives.
Since we cant stop him, lets stir trouble!
Ye Zhongming stood up, His advantage is that he is in the dark and waiting for us. He is finding a chance to make use of us. Even if he fails, we will die, and he can remain the ruler.
That is bad for us. So we shall stir the situation so that even if he knows what we want to do, he has to join in!
Everyone didnt understand. They continued to look at Ye Zhongmings face.
Release the news that we can leave Linhai on Feasting Day so everyone knows!
Everyone opened their mouths. They thought about how the Linhai survivors would charge out simultaneously and shuddered. Their gazes toward Ye Zhongming changed.
This guy was making use of everyone! He wanted to tie all the underground city survivors to his battle cart!
