Apocalypse Gachapon

Chapter 1941: Lost ability (2)

Facing this future, Clan Leader of the Star-Eye Clan, whom he had once rejected, Ye Zhongming felt no embarrassment or awkwardness. Instead, he stared intently at her face.

The two Star-Eye Clan Leaders had clearly stated that this face was fake. He had to see where it was fake; how come he hadnʼt noticed before?

Facing such behavior from Ye Zhongming, Aslan similarly showed no shyness or hesitation and said directly, ”I want to join the Assault Camp.”

Ye Zhongming directly shook his head.

Just kidding!

This was the future Clan Leader. Putting her under his command? Should he manage her or not? If he managed her too strictly, what if she became annoyed and grew distant in the future?

It wasnʼt that Ye Zhongming was afraid of this, but many of his matters required the full support of the Star-Eye Clan. He didnʼt want this to cause complications at some point in the future.

Also, he temporarily does not want to let the clan know about the legacy he obtained from the 101st generation Bronze Order Leader. The timing wasnʼt right yet; otherwise, it could also bring unexpected trouble and have unpredictable effects on his position within the Star-Eye Clan.

”Why!?”

Aslan was very unwilling.
Although Ye Zhongming had done some things that made her very unhappy—like rejecting her, not coming to take over the Bronze Camp for many days, killing people as soon as he arrived here, etc.—she also saw the changes this man brought to the Bronze Camp.

Especially the establishment of the Assault Camp, Aslan strongly agreed with it.

She believed there should be such a team to stir up the ʼstagnant waterʼ of the Star-Eye Clan a bit. Only then could it motivate other teams to strive.

It wasnʼt that she thought the previous three major teams were bad, but... they lacked a certain aura that Ye Zhongming possessed.

”No reason!” Ye Zhongming said irritably, then walked forward. Finding that Aslan persistently followed him, he could only turn around and say, ”Miss, donʼt you know your identity and status? Putting you in the garbage training camp over there is called training. Putting you in the Assault Camp is called taking a risk. Even if you donʼt know what the Assault Camp will specifically do in the future, havenʼt the two Clan Leaders revealed anything to you? Those will be missions with extremely high mortality rates. Do you want the Star-Eye Clan to have no Clan Leader in the future? Do you want the clanʼs cultivation of you over so many years to go to waste?”

”Without experiencing training, how can I sit in that position?” Aslan did not yield at all, countering Ye Zhongming.

”You need to be alive to sit on it!” Ye Zhongmingʼs attitude was very firm. ”Iʼll say this one last time: in the future, Cheng Liujin, White Robe, I, and others in the Star-Eye Clan will all help you. What you need to do is quickly strengthen yourself, achieving the same high level of mystery and deterrence towards other races as the current two Clan Leaders, not dancing on the edge of a blade, risking death at any misstep, and leaving the Star-Eye Clan without a successor!”

After speaking, Ye Zhongming paid no more attention to Aslan and walked away on his own.

……………………………………

Jikesu looked at Ye Zhongming entering and smiled, asking him to sit.

ʼI thought you had forgotten me.ʼ

As the Chief Technical Officer of the Star-Eye Clan, Jikesu always felt it was a pity for Ye Zhongming to take the warrior path.

With such obvious excellent craftsmanship talent, if he took the technical path, he could absolutely become a master of his generation.

”How could I? Iʼve come to seek your advice, havenʼt I?” Ye Zhongming took out an item and placed it nearby. Jikesu glanced at it and exclaimed, ”Heelloom Furnace? This is a good thing.”

The old man was very happy and circled around this machine, which was specially used for studying crafting.

This Heelloom Furnace was not something Ye Zhongming exchanged with points; he purchased it separately using Moonspan Gold. It belonged to a very expensive, refined equipment that could be applied in manufacturing, research, and other aspects.

The Star-Eye Clan used to have one, but after it broke, they didnʼt continue purchasing it because, for something that could improve quality but wasnʼt essential, they saved where they could.

Jikesu had not never seen this kind of apparatus before; his happiness was more because he felt Ye Zhongming was thoughtful. Without spending some effort, it would be impossible to choose to buy this.

”Iʼve come to learn the craft.” Ye Zhongming walked around the room and found the Fragrant Sap to drink himself.

”I donʼt have much left, save some for me.” Watching his collection being gulped down by Ye Zhongming as if it were water, Jikesu quickly snatched the pot away.

”Learning the craft is naturally fine, but ah, you need to understand many basic theories before that.”

The equipment manufacturing of the cosmic races in the universe is based on highly developed science, which is different from on Earth, where it almost entirely relies on wheel technology.

If Ye Zhongming also wanted to become an excellent, even top-tier, manufacturer here, he would inevitably have to follow this path. Then he would first have to acquire a lot of knowledge.

”You know, I wonʼt have much time to learn this knowledge. Can you find a path that allows me to learn not too much content but is most helpful for manufacturing?”

Jikesu pinched his chin and thought seriously.

If anyone else had said this to him, he would have definitely thrown that person out, because in his view, if you donʼt even want to solidify the basics, what manufacturing can you talk about?

But Ye Zhongming was different. On one hand, he stated a fact; on the other hand, he himself was an outstanding craftsman relying on wheel abilities. Even without relying on the technology of the Ten Thousand Races in the universe, he could manufacture excellent equipment. He had already proven this in the Novice battlefield.

”Alright then, Iʼll try to think about it and summarize some key points. When you come to my place during your training breaks, Iʼll explain them to you.”

Jikesu thought for a while and then said this to Ye Zhongming.

Ye Zhongming nodded, thanking the old man, then asked again: ”Do you know how many abilities our Star-Eye Clan has lost?”

Jikesu was stunned. ”Lost abilities?”

”Yes, the kind where the legacy cannot be found.”

Jikesu looked at Ye Zhongming and then said, ”Throughout the history of the Star-Eye Clan, many abilities have been lost. I canʼt count every one, but at least ten key skills have been lost.”

”Really lost?”

Facing Ye Zhongmingʼs question, Jikesu was very puzzled. He had doubts in his heart, but still patiently replied: ”Basically, thatʼs the case. However, I donʼt know if there are copies of one or two relatively ancient abilities stored in the Library Palace.”

Library Palace? Ye Zhongmingʼs expression shifted.

”Why doesnʼt the clan go retrieve them?”

Jikesu shook his head and said, ”Although it was the ancestors who put some books inside, wanting to take them out for reading requires contribution points to exchange for reading permissions. Every race is like this.”

”This contribution point is an evaluation system of the cosmic races, with strict scoring. Our Star-Eye Clan... sigh, as we decline day by day, our ability to earn contribution points has become weaker and weaker. Many years ago, we already stopped exchanging for reading permissions. Moreover, in recent years, the status of the Library Palace has declined severely. No one has put things inside for many years. Low-level permissions canʼt see anything good, and high-level permissions are too expensive. Additionally, we ourselves have blurred too much information over the long course of time and arenʼt sure if there are lost abilities within. Even if there are, would they be useful? So...”
