Liao San returned to the camp, feeling a little frustrated. What could he do? He could not help but curse the bastard in his mind. 50 million? Was he crazy for money? Did he know how much equipment he could buy with 50 million? Compared to this guy, the miser in the logistics department was simply a kind angel. If this bastard became the head of the logistics department, Liao San shuddered …
Liao San had only asked if he could sell a set of those strange gadgets, and Ye Chong had agreed without hesitation, but said that he would have to pay. Liao San was overjoyed. The Royal Guards were never short of money. To him, anything that could be bought with money was not really rare. So Ye Chong offered 50 million for each set, and there were 5 of them, which was 250 million. He also added that he would only have one chance to buy it.
Liao San was stunned. That was not how you rob people! 250 million. Even if the Royal Guards were rich, they would not be so rich to take out 250 million just like that. When Liao San saw Ye Chong's regretful shrug, he almost wanted to punch him in the face. However, he remembered that the man before him was a dangerous man who could take on 12 Level 6 shooters single-handedly. Liao San calmed down.
Hence, he could only watch as Ye Chong sat on the sprinkler and slowly drove away.
Even now, he still had not recovered from the shock. It was unimaginable to build such a huge training ground in just two hours. If this speed could be used to build fortifications at the frontline, it would be terrifying. He imagined himself occupying a position and using these machines to build fortifications. It would be a nightmare for the enemy.
Of course, he could only fantasize about it. Anything worth 250 million yuan, no matter who it was, would have to think twice before taking it to the front lines. If they were to be shot by an enemy stray bullet, they would all be gone.
In fact, Ye Chong felt that his price was very reasonable. These semi-automated construction machines were much more technologically advanced than the cannons he sold to Sun Sieha. If the cannons were sold for 20 million, how could these machines be sold for less? Besides, Ye Chong had spent a lot of effort on this machine. Since there were no metal ores in the area, the metal materials he had were even more precious. He had no choice but to use the wood materials he could find locally. However, the plasticity of wood was far worse than metal. Although its physical properties were good, it was much more difficult to process. Furthermore, these machines even had low-level bio-optical computers, which were good stuff. Ye Chong did not think it was expensive to buy one for 50 million.
However, Ye Chong did not think much of the cancellation. He was not short of money at the moment. He had plenty of funds. He had not spent the 150 million he earned from gambling last time, and he still had a fixed income of 40 million every month. Moreover, he had just made this set of machinery and had yet to use it. If he sold it, it would mean that he would have to make it again. He was not willing to do such a time-consuming and laborious thing.
Ye Chong's manor was too shabby for a base! Ye Chong planned to turn his manor into a base that fit the criteria. At that time, the main part of the base would be moved underground. Not only must it be safe, but it must also be concealed. Almost all the practical work required these labor machines to complete. Ye Chong would also expand the number of labor machines to speed up the project.
When Sun Sieha received Liao San's report in the middle of the night, the entire palace could hear His Majesty's angry roar, "Liao San, that country bumpkin! Has he never seen money before? How could he be intimidated by this little bit of money? " He was much more knowledgeable than Liao San. For something so valuable, he would buy it even at double the price, much less 250 million. None of the top-secret samples obtained from the enemy countries would cost less than this price. Master Karu had told him clearly that Ye Chong's technology was at least 50 years ahead of theirs. They had to pay attention to every product Ye Chong produced. They had enough time to study and digest the technology.
How could Sun Sieha not roar in anger when he had wasted his only chance to buy it?
At 5: 40 in the morning, Ye Chong's manor was filled with people. There were 20,000 of them. No one would pass up such a great opportunity. Most of them did not have the talent to learn parapsychic control. Like the shooters, they desired power, glory, status and money! However, their talent was a death sentence. Now that there was a chance, it was like a hopeless person seeing hope.
The dense crowd was silent. Everyone shut their mouths spontaneously. Around them, the soldiers of the Royal Guard Camp were glaring at them like tigers watching their prey.
It was 6 o 'clock. Ye Chong nodded to Liao San.
"Time's up!" Liao San's ruthless voice reverberated, and the soldiers under him immediately formed a dividing line, blocking the people who arrived late.
Ye Chong ordered Liao San, "I'll give you 30 minutes. Organize them into groups of 50, with one leader per group."
Liao San glanced at the disorganized crowd and rolled his eyes. It was not easy for these people to get into formation within 30 minutes. However, Ye Chong was now his direct superior, and he had to obey his orders. Besides, it was not a problem for him.
"Yes, sir!" Liao San replied loudly. He turned to his soldiers and roared, "Bastards, come out, 400 of you. Each of you pick 50 of them and stand straight." It was a piece of cake for him, since he had 4,000 men under him.
Four hundred soldiers quickly stepped out of the formation, each of them like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey as they charged into the crowd. They were violent. If anyone disobeyed, they would be punched and kicked. Gui Gui walked into the crowd expressionlessly and picked out the girls one by one. They were divided into two groups, with Shu Mo 'er and her sister in one of them.
The soldiers of the Royal Guard Camp moved extremely quickly, without the slightest bit of sloppiness. Soon, four hundred small formations appeared on the field.
20,000 people. If Ye Chong really wanted to take in disciples, he would not have time to do anything else, because he did not have that much time. From the beginning, Ye Chong did not intend to use the traditional way of teaching. Besides, these people were a mix of good and bad people. Ye Chong planned to use the military way, which he was very familiar with. Besides, using the military way of management was the safest way. One or two people would not be able to cause much trouble.
The group marched into the new training ground that Ye Chong had just built. Everyone's eyes were shining. They had never seen a training ground like this before. A training ground that could accommodate 20,000 people was definitely a strong visual impact. The neatly arranged strange equipment was also a spectacular sight. The ground was smooth like a mirror, but when they stepped on it, it was hard rock. Everyone sighed with emotion. This was a huge expenditure. Just how much manpower and material resources had been spent on such a huge training ground? This large training ground, which they had never seen before, also made these people feel refreshed.
The training ground was located in a valley between two hills, and covered a large area.
With the veterans leading the group, they quickly took their positions. Ye Chong stood on a high platform in front of the training ground. The platform was made of a single piece of rock, and one could see the entire training ground from here.
Everyone knew that Ye Chong had spoken, and looked up. Even Liao San and the rest were curious about what Ye Chong had to say.
Ye Chong looked around and spoke slowly, "I am Ye Chong. From today onwards, I will be your teacher. From today onwards, the entire valley will be sealed off. No one is allowed to enter or leave without permission. The training will be tough, but there will be no losers here. No one is allowed to retreat. "
These words caused many people's expressions to change, but the soldiers who were glaring at them made them not dare to speak.
"You have never been in close combat before, and that's fine. However, close combat is much more physically demanding than shooters. So, the first thing you need to do is to improve your stamina as much as you can. This is your first lesson. "
The training ground became chaotic. Ye Chong's first lesson was simple, and that was to run. Most of them were wondering what the use of running was. However, Ye Chong was not discussing with them, but giving them an order!
After running 50 laps around the training ground, many of them almost fainted. A cruel reality was laid out before them - those who did not complete the training would not be fed.
So Liao San took charge of the training ground, and herded them like livestock.
It was a spectacular sight to see 20,000 people running at the same time. The entire training ground was covered in dust. Their heavy breathing sounded like thunder. The veterans under Liao San had never seen such an interesting scene before. They were all pumped up and lashed their whips loudly.
These nobles usually ate, drank, and played around. Their bodies were already weak, so how could they withstand such torment? Half of them directly fainted. However, Liao San did not plan to let them go so easily. He poured a bucket of cold water on them, woke them up, and started running again.
On the first day, only a third of them managed to complete the training. Most of them were children from poor families, and they were provided with sufficient food. However, they were also exhausted. They finally understood what it meant to be provided with food. Nevertheless, they stuffed food into their stomachs like crazy. They had a feeling that the training would be more than that. Besides, when they saw the nobles, who were usually high and mighty, fainted on the ground like dead dogs, the food in their bowls tasted even better.
On the second day, it was still 50 laps. However, there were more people who had enough to eat than the first day. Almost half of them had enough to eat.
Liao San had fallen in love with the training. With so many people around, it was much more fun than in the military camp. Besides, the nobles made a fool out of themselves, and became a laughing stock.
All they did was run every day. Life in the valley was boring. After a few days, they were all tanned, and many of them had chapped lips. Even the delicate girls like Shu Mo'er were not taken care of. She was ruthless, and no one dared to make a mistake in front of her. Their skin, which used to be so smooth, was now tanned. However, they were tough, and persisted in silence.
The noblemen's sons and daughters shouted for their fathers and mothers as they tried to retreat, but they were whipped so hard that they crawled on the ground. After that, no one dared to mention quitting.
Seven days had passed. If these people were to run another 50 laps, they would be able to complete it. However, it had been increased to 80 laps. Ye Chong told Liao San that he would handle all the work, and that he only cared about the results. When everyone could run 300 laps, and run 100 laps in less than an hour and a half, they would be considered qualified. The deadline should be within a month.
Even someone as strong as Liao San was not happy with the harsh conditions. With that, Ye Chong put the matter aside. He had many things to do, and could not let this take up too much of his time. That was why he asked Sun Sieha for Ye Chong.
In the past few days, Ye Chong had produced a few more labor machines. They were now 20 meters deep beneath the manor.
However, there was another matter that Ye Chong had to attend, and that was Sun Sieha's celebration. Ye Chong was not interested in such trivial matters, but since Sun Sieha was so insistent, he decided to attend.
Sun Sieha sent someone to fetch Ye Chong.
The Royal Palace had been decorated. Fresh flowers were everywhere, and a bright red carpet was laid all the way from the palace to the main entrance. The neatly dressed guards were all in high spirits, their heads held high and their chests puffed out. The usual meeting hall was now filled with people. Those who were qualified to enter were all nobles. They chatted quietly with each other.
Ye Chong's entrance attracted everyone's attention. This young man was the most popular person in the limelight during this period of time, but other than His Majesty, it seemed that he did not give face to anyone. His appearance once again proved His Majesty's favor to him. The young noble ladies boldly turned their gazes to him, brimming with curiosity.
Ye Chong picked a corner and sat down. He could feel people spying on him from time to time. It was not a good feeling. Ye Chong would rather not be noticed.
Ye Chong closed his eyes, as if to rest.
The noble ladies were disappointed. They looked away and returned to the discussion around them.
"His Majesty has arrived!"
When Sun Sieha walked into the meeting hall, everyone stood up and gave him a warm round of applause. The officials bowed and gave their blessings in unison, "May the King be blessed, live a long life, and unite the world!"
Sun Sieha waved his hand and said casually, "I still need everyone's help."
The following process was tedious and boring. Almost every official would bring their family members to congratulate Sun Sieha on his birthday, and Sun Sieha would give them a few words of encouragement. Some of the important officials at the borders would send their sons or generals to present their gifts and blessings. However, the routine answers soon made Ye Chong lose interest. He squinted his eyes again.
"The envoy from Western Frost has arrived!" A guard suddenly came in to report. Interrupting the harmonious scene between the monarch and the minister in the council hall, the atmosphere in the council hall suddenly became a little subtle. Eastern Cloud and Western Frost had been enemies for generations. Why would they send an envoy at a time like this?
Sun Sieha's eyes flashed fiercely, but he smiled and said, "Oh, it's rare for Western Frost to send an envoy. Let him in."
The envoy from Western Frost was a middle-aged man. He looked ordinary, the kind that would be lost in a crowd. Accompanying him was a cage covered in black cloth. The cage was at least five meters tall.
"Envoy from Western Frost, Mu Chen, greets Your Majesty. May Your Majesty live a long life!" Mu Chen bowed respectfully.
Sun Sieha chuckled and said casually, "Rise."
Mu Chen stood up.
"How is your King's health? I heard that he hasn't been well recently," Sun Sieha asked casually.
Mu Chen's heart skipped a beat, but he replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, the king is in good health. Where did you hear the rumor?"
"Oh, he's in good health." Sumensieha responded with an "oh" and nodded. "That's good. Your king is a good opponent. He's much stronger than that pig in Southern Land. Otherwise, he would be lonely without a worthy opponent in the world. "His words were domineering. Sun Sieha was like an unsheathed sword, ready to strike.
"Long live Your Majesty!" The emperor and his officials were intimidated by Sun Sieha's aura, and bowed again.
Mu Chen's expression changed. There were many rumors about this new king of Eastern Cloud. While some of them were slanderous, most of them were positive. This time, he had seen it with his own eyes. Eastern Cloud under the rule of such a king was not good news for Western Frost.
Mu Chen looked around and said in a loud voice, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your praise of my king. This lowly one has come here on my king's orders to deliver a congratulatory gift to Your Majesty."
"Oh." Sun Sieha raised an eyebrow and smiled. There was a hint of playfulness in his voice, "I believe the gift from your king must be extraordinary. I would like to see it for myself."
Mu Chen was not afraid. He said calmly, "My king said that Eastern Cloud is a land of abundance, while Western Frost is a land of bitter cold. Of course, we can't compare. However, the bravery of Western Frost's warriors is unparalleled. Some time ago, a few archers ventured into the depths of Darkniss and were lucky enough to capture a beast. When they heard that Your Majesty is celebrating, the king ordered me to present this beast to Your Majesty. My king once said that this beast can only be captured by real warriors. I have never seen such a beast before. However, I was in a hurry, so I didn't have time to ask the king. However, I thought, Eastern Cloud is a great country, how can there be no warriors? This beast must have been captured by someone before. This question has been bothering me for a long time. Now that I have the chance, I hope Your Majesty will grant me this. "
"So that's how it is." Sunsieha sneered. "There are such exotic beasts? Then I would like to see it for myself. Open it. "
"I dare not disobey His Majesty's orders." Mu Chen reached out and lifted the black cloth covering the cage.
Ah! Everyone in the hall sucked in a breath of cold air, while the noble ladies covered their mouths and cried out in alarm, revealing looks of horror.
Ye Chong, who had been quiet all this time, suddenly stood up. His eyes were shining brightly.
