Apocalypse Gachapon

Chapter 2048: Weapons of war

”Thereʼs more? How much more do you have?”

This question was asked very urgently. It wasnʼt Yaohan Su but the leader of one of the Su Clanʼs three direct lineages. Not counting the special status of the clan leader, his position was the same as that of Yaohan Su and that annoying old man from Kelan Suʼs faction.

Ye Zhongming shook his head, ”Yes, but itʼs hard to say how much.”

The entire room was still excited, but suddenly they didnʼt quite know what to say.

Force him to hand over the formula? Thatʼs a joke. Not to mention, he came here to study under the title of Novice First; just the fact that he dared to bring the things here clearly meant he had a backup plan and wasnʼt foolish enough to carry the formula on him. Moreover, Yaohan Su and Jie Suʼs faction certainly wouldnʼt agree.

Talk to him about buying it? Alright, the Su Clan had the capability, but the problem was, did he need money? They knew he had spent nearly ten million Moonspan Gold at the commercial center earlier; he wasnʼt someone short on money.

Then what to do? Agree to cooperate with him?

Kelan Su and his leaderʼs faces were very dark. Once this thing was publicised, it added many variables. Just look at the expression of the other factionʼs leader; he was the one who needed this thing the most right now.

”Weapon of War!”

This was the name of the spherical object contained in the small box.
It was a... rare item that combined medicine and equipment!

Usually, Weapon of War was a piece of equipment. When worn on the body, it can increase affinity between the human body and materials, allowing crafting professions to enhance almost all related efficiencies when smelting and using various materials, such as success rate and quality rate.

At the same time, it also calmed the mind, making cultivation twice as effective and increasing the wearerʼs resistance to all types of disruptive abilities.

If it were only this, it wouldnʼt be particularly outstanding; at most, a good item, far from being considered top-grade.

But when needed, Weapon of War could also be ingested.

The so-called times of need could be when crafting a key piece of equipment, during battle, or when encountering a cultivation bottleneck.

Ingesting Weapon of War when crafting key or top-grade equipment could greatly enhance the abilities provided when wearing it, significantly increasing the crafting success rate and effect. Ingesting it during battle could heal the userʼs injuries and provide temporary Furelai. Using it during a cultivation bottleneck could increase comprehension and understanding of energy, the body, and the laws of the universe, organizing the energy within the body, greatly improving breakthrough efficiency and success rate.

The Su Clan was not a crafting race, but they were experts in deploying formations. Weapon of War could provide them with significant help, especially in terms of affinity, allowing them to deploy formations more quickly, thereby boosting combat power.

Although the appearance of the traveling formation seemed to solve the problem of encountering battles, they all knew that, like the Ten Great Formations, the following formation certainly couldnʼt be taught to all Su Clan members. It was bound to be the exclusive domain of the direct lineage; perhaps only a small portion within the direct lineage could learn it. After all, this was a major secret of the Su Clan and also a means of future rule.

Thus, Weapon of War remained important to the Su Clan.

Even taking a step back, did those who learned the following formation not need Xiu Ge? Would it have no effect on them?

Although it hadnʼt been tested yet, it likely would be similarly useful.

Although the following formation was good, it also required a lot of time and effort to cultivate. The power of the traveling formation when using low-level formations and when using intermediate formations naturally differed. Being able to engage in encounter battles and actually winning them were ultimately two different things. If Weapon of War could be used to enhance strength, that would naturally be the best thing.

Another point was that the ability to help with breakthroughs was too powerful. The leader of the other faction was more excited than the others precisely because he had been stuck at a certain node for a long time and really needed this kind of thing.

If Weapon of War only had the abilities mentioned above, it would still be a top-grade treasure, but not a rare, priceless artifact.

It had one more characteristic that made people unable to resist.

The longer the time worn, the better the effect when ingested, up to a certain limit.

Even if the growth werenʼt infinite, this effect would truly leave people in awe.

Such a Weapon of War, combining medicine and equipment, had long since lost its manufacturing method among the cosmic races.

Everyone admitted it was a good thing. In theory, it shouldnʼt have been lost. But it was precisely this kind of overly good thing that was prone to various accidents.

The leader of a certain race always held the formula for the Weapon of War. The single inheritance method ensured secrecy but also increased the chance of accidents. At the same time, this thing was ultimately auxiliary; sometimes, it couldnʼt bridge the strength gap between races.

Just as even if the Su Clan had enough Weapon of War to distribute one to every clan member, they still wouldnʼt be a match for the Reina Star or Huoʼer Star people.

And Weapon of War would bring enormous wealth...

Thus, for some unknown reason, under unknown circumstances, that race was almost wiped out overnight, and the Weapon of War formula was lost from then on.

As time passed, the remaining quantities of this precious item dwindled until they disappeared, never to be found again.

No one expected this thing to reappear before them in this way.

Who gave it to Ye Zhongming? Was it the Star-Eye Clan? Or did he obtain it through other means? Could it be the Musk Star behind it? After all, Yi Seviʼs romance with the rising star of the Star-Eye Clan was known throughout the world. Did he have the formula for Weapon of War, or just a few stored items? If it were the latter, that would still be okay. If it was the former... then...

Many, many questions arose in these peopleʼs minds, leaving them unsure which angle to take on this issue for a moment. If they guessed wrong, they would undoubtedly be very passive.

”This thing is very important to us. Tell us your thoughts.” At this moment, Yaohan Su stepped forward. Since Ye Zhongming gave him a breakthrough to control the overall situation, he had to seize it.

”That depends on what the Su Clan can give me.” Ye Zhongming replied unhurriedly.

”What do you want? If you think Weapon of War alone can make the Su Clan fully support you, thatʼs impossible. This thing... is not enough.”

Kelan Suʼs leader forcibly interjected again.

Ye Zhongming nodded. He knew that although Weapon of War was good, it couldnʼt possibly get him everything he wanted. He needed to convince not just Yaohan Su, who leaned towards him in his heart, but these elders.

”Naturally, I have more.”

After saying this, Ye Zhongming took out another item from his spatial equipment.
