Chapter 2149.5- Surrounding super level nine (4)
While everyone marveled at how Ye Zhongming could have so much equipment, they also realized one thing.
Whether he was buying loyalty or genuinely felt apologetic, it demonstrated that his resources were absolutely top-tier—far surpassing any single small clan, or even the entire small clan alliance.
By now, it was not only the victorious Second Regiment that envied the First Regiment; the Third and Fourth Regiments were also extremely envious.
With similar strength, those who had equipment and money could hunt higher-level prey, earn greater rewards, and continue to advance rapidly, feeding back into their personal power. It was a mutually reinforcing cycle. Those not in the First Regiment would soon be left behind.
This disparity was palpable. Morale in the other regiments was noticeably low. Duoduo, Leona, and even Lord Star came to Ye Zhongming, half-jokingly accusing him of being unfair—that his wealth was stealing their thunder.
Ye Zhongming just laughed and gave them gifts—equipment and such—and they left happily.
There were no hard feelings. They understood that Ye Zhongming gave because he had the means. Though they had not directly profited, their clansmen in the First Regiment had—many of them. Duoduo's son, for example, had not only received a Little Black Shield, a bow, and ten arrows, but also several pieces of equipment. He showed them off to his father. Duoduo cursed him verbally, but inwardly, he was pleased.
The First and Second Regiments had returned, so it was the Third and Fourth Regiments' turn to go hunting. But after only one day, they all came back.
Ye Zhongming, who had been observing the demon caves, received the news and returned to the base. There, he learned that large numbers of mutated lifeforms were gathering in three directions around the camp.
