Chapter 1132: Slave race
Li Qiang thought there would be two ways for him to get free. One was that Ye Zhongming purchased him from Five Ring Money. That was peaceful and the method he hoped for.
The other was that Ye Zhongming would bring him away when he left. This was an escape. It was risky, and it wasn’t what he hoped. He had spent time here and knew what organization Five Ring Money was.
But he knew purchasing such a special evolved like him would cost a lot. He wasn’t afraid Ye Zhongming didn’t have the money. After all, he had already invested in him. But he didn’t want to give the boss the impression that he was a waste of money.
But he was given away!
This shocked Li Qiang.
Ye Zhongming was so strong that Five Ring Money was willing to give him people.
Shock filled his heart, making him more curious about Cloud Peak.
“What lifeform?’
Ye Zhongming was interested in what Li Qiang said. He knew about the slave race and knew there were more life forms above. But he didn’t understand which was the slave race that he heard from the Resistance Zone and what the other lifeform was called.
“A warrior.”Li Qiang was certain. He had evolved again, so his locked memory was slightly unlocked, which was why he recalled the lifeform.
“I can only remember its outer appearance. I am not sure when I saw it, but I am sure it is very powerful. They were used to fight.”
Ye Zhongming told him to describe what that lifeform was like.
“Very tall, no…” He frowned as if doing that could let him remember.
“There were… Two types? Or three? They looked similar, but their height difference was huge. The biggest was around five meters, and the small was about our height.”
“There is an obvious size difference?”
Ye Zhongming wondered if their heights were randomly different or if they represented their strength like the demon monsters.
“This…” He thought about it. There shouldn’t be any strict benchmarks, but some rules remain. They are either between 4 and 5 meters, then 3.5, then around our height.”
“Right!”
Li Qiang slapped his head, “The very tall and short lifeforms have very obvious gender marks. The 4-5 meters one should be male. They are very muscular, and those our height are females.”
“How are you so sure?” Zhao Xiangxue asked.
Ye Zhongming didn’t hide such stuff from his two subordinates and told them about Li Qiang’s identity. But Ye Zhongming didn’t introduce Gao Yi and Zhao Xiangxue to him. After all, he didn’t think about what to do with him, whether to let him enter Cloud Peak or Chameleon.
Li Qiang looked at the beautiful lady and knew that she was someone that Ye Zhongming trusted. He replied, “Logically speaking, those lifeforms aren’t human, so I shouldn’t be so sure. But… They didn’t wear much. The guys only wore special armor on their shoulders, elbows, knees, and limbs. The females had one more chest guard and wore some jewelry on their heads and wrists.”
“They looked similar to humans, but there were some differences. Their guys were very tan and pure black. The females were very white, pure white. Their eyes were beautiful, and there were three pupils. Their hair wasn’t white, black, or blond. The guys had blue hair; females were red.”
“And? What about those lifeforms in between the two extremes?”
Ye Zhongming added. These lifeforms seemed similar to humans. Were they from the same source? If not, the universe was so vast that many life forms should have existed. Why did they look so similar to humans?
“I am not sure of the gender of those three-meter tall ones. There were a few of them, and my memory is blurry. The only thing was that they were ferocious when they fought. Patterns would appear on their bodies, and the colors of those patterns would be different. I don’t know what they represent, but they were beautiful. Also, they can transform, but I forgot what they could transform into.”
Li Qiang said everything he could recall. He didn’t know if they would help Ye Zhongming, but he felt more relaxed. He knew he wasn’t strong enough to unlock the mysteries of these lifeforms and the secrets of those alien ships. Then, he shall leave it to someone who might. That reduced the pressure on him.
Ye Zhongming nodded. Although humans were ‘modified’ by the wheel and different from traditional humans, most still looked the same.
“These are helpful; at least we have some understanding of those fellows. If you recall anything, tell me about it anytime.”
Li Qiang nodded. He wouldn’t say such things casually. You had to choose who to tell your secrets to. Ye Zhongming was a good choice.
“What should we do next?” Li Qiang’s injuries healed, and he had just evolved. He wanted to perform.
“Go to a few dungeons to get some things.” Ye Zhongming pinched his chin. He knew that he had some information that Deacon Tong didn’t. If not, with Five Ring Money’s strength, they wouldn’t give it to him so easily.
The information he revealed to them was a probe.
The four of them rested before heading out to a resource point. Although the advanced region dungeons were dangerous, because of the information he knew before, they were also very strong and could complete their goals.
Some resource points were claimed as some time had already passed. The other factions were strong, and some people were expected to have finished some resource points. If he wanted the reward, he had to purchase them from others. He could give this task to those who specifically did such work.
Two places were mostly finished. Ye Zhongming rushed over. He would have to conflict with others if he wanted to join in. But without the space exception and with fewer people than them, it was easy for others to block him. So he could only give up on the rewards from these two places. Fortunately, the Royal Guild helped, and he bought one from the small faction. The other did not want to give it up, and Five Ring Money couldn’t force them. Ye Zhongming gave up as, fortunately, it wasn’t a crucial reward.
He spread the message that he wanted to purchase some stuff and completed all he wanted in Bright Water World. All that was left was to help Five Ring Money. Who knew that the first place was a problematic one?
