“I couldn’t taste this in the past, but to show my status in front of friends, I hired a sommelier and recorded what he said. Then, I bragged in front of others. I loved that feeling.”


    Deacon Tong picked up his wine glass and looked at the dark red liquid inside.


    “Such a situation continued into the apocalypse. I realized that no one would care if you knew how to drink. No one cared about your wine knowledge. They cared about your evolution level.”


    “So my goals changed, and I desired strength. Thinking back, everything is the same. It is the survival of the fittest. Many people have previously talked about this, and they don’t understand it very well. But the apocalypse enlightened them, which was why everyone chased strength even if they needed to risk their lives.”


    “If you didn’t take risks, you would still lose your life.”


    Deacon Tong looked at the guy opposite him and praised, “I am curious. The low-level dungeon reward tempts you so much? You don’t want to work with the most elite people in the world to get better benefits? Mr Ye Zhongming, can you give me a logical explanation?”


    Ye Zhongming smiled, “The Lord’s Case rewards are quite decent.”


    Deacon Tong’s expression changed, and he took a deep breath. “That is because you don’t know the rewards of the advanced regions. Do you know that in the past 40 hours, someone has obtained a six-star potion, and someone got a golden piece of equipment?”


    Ye Zhongming shrugged and didn’t say anything. He took the half bottle of wine before Deacon Tong. He didn’t use a glass and just took a gulp.


    Deacon Tong stared at him expressionlessly.


    “Not as nice as Sour Plum Juice.”


    Ye Zhongming cleaned his mouth and placed the bottle back on the table.


    “Do you know how much this bottle will cost in the apocalypse?” he asked, placing his hands on the table and leaning forward.


    “I don’t know, I have never drank it before. But I know this thing isn’t worth a one-star potion to me.”


    Deacon Tong kept silent and laughed suddenly.


    “I want to use this bottle of wine to express my desire for Bright Water World. Mr Ye, what are you using such brutish methods to express?”


    “We can’t fight here, but you will have to head out.” Deacon Water walked over and sat between them. For the first time, three noble leaders of the apocalypse sat together.


    “To be honest... You aren’t my match.” Ye Zhongming’s reply negated Deacon Water’s threat.


    Ye Zhongming didn’t lie. The only faction he feared was the God Hall’s chief. That person had high combat strength and also had a strong battle beast. He also had the mysterious God Hall behind him.


    Ye Zhongming feared no one else. This was confidence that Blue Secret Realm gave him. Although the people there didn’t have as many abilities and equipment as those on Earth, they did have level seven or eight strength. Ye Zhongming killed many of such people.


    In Bright Water World, he got the Proof of the Puppet and Gem Maze Formation. His strength had increased. More importantly, he increased his Scorching Flame Technique to the top level.


    Also, would Five Ring Money have a chance outside under such a situation? Lu Yi’s merchant squad was nearby. If you talked about Chameleon, they were enough to deal with any battle squad.


    Ye Zhongming wasn’t stubborn; he really wasn’t afraid.


    Ye Zhongming stood up after saying that and looked at the two Deacons, “I don’t mind working together, but it isn’t the time. My value isn’t fully shown, so let’s discuss it in the future.”


    The two deacons could see each other’s rage. At the same time, they were confused.


    If it were someone else, they would think he was bragging. But Ye Zhongming was strong, and Cloud Peak was also a super faction. Since he showed such confidence, they had to believe him.


    “This person... Is a mystery.”


    Deacon Tong had a bad feeling. He pinched his forehead and felt a headache when he thought about how to deal with Ye Zhongming.


    Deacon Water looked at the wine that Ye Zhongming drank out of and was deep in thought.


    Ye Zhongming returned to his room and heard that Bright Water World’s dungeons would close for a day after the fourth stage. He knew that Five Ring Money did so to give people a chance to trade, and they also wanted to use Gory Red Arena to collect money.


    He lay on the bed and looked at the clean ceiling. Many ideas to show his value appeared in his mind.
