Chapter 1273 – Modified Yin Lightning Mines

These were yin lightning mines, not ordinary stones from the roadside that you can just throw at pa.s.sersby. Yin thunder mines were famed in the World of Cultivation not only because of its lethality, but also because of how difficult they were to make.

But now, Zhao Hai took out a thousand yin thunder mines. Were these mines trash in his eyes?

Zhao Hai was very satisfied with his victory. But what he was unsatisfied about was the lack of harvests. To be honest, Zhao Hai didn't expect the yin thunder mines to be this destructive. It killed about 100 people, and these were experts who have defensive artifacts.

At the same time, Zhao Hai was happy about the Undead's performance. Their coordination was already very good, but now that they have yin lightning mines, their strength has increased by one layer.

Zhao Hai was initially worried about the Undead's strength. Currently, the Undead have strength equal to Qi Condensation Cultivators. In the World of Cultivation, they were still really weak. Although they were now studying Cultivation Methods, increasing their strength in a short time was impossible.

The blood lightning beads might be a powerful weapon in the lower realms, but they can't do much in the World of Cultivation. Even low-level Cultivators couldn't be damaged by the blood lightning beads. Because of this, the main method of the Undead's offense has been rendered useless.

Now that there's the yin lightning mines, this weakness has been taken care of. As long as they were given time, all of the Undead would be equipped with yin lightning mines. This will enhance the strength of the Undead once more.

Zhao Hai wasn't polite and ordered the Undead to eradicate the survivors. The Cultivators and Devil Pract.i.tioners that were left had already lost their confidence. In this case, it was easy for the Undead to clean them up.

Once the fight was over, Zhao Hai turned the dead Cultivators and Devil Pract.i.tioners into Undead. Then he commanded the Undead to clean up the surroundings. At the same time, all traces of energy around the area needed to be erased.

Zhao Hai remembered what he saw back in the bug caves. Upon a.n.a.lyzing the remnant energy of the battle, Suo Liancheng was able to restore the fight scene. This time, Zhao Hai wouldn't make such a careless mistake. The battlefield has been cleaned up and the energy traces have been smoothed out.

If Zhao Hai doesn't clean up the battlefield, then others would see that he had used a lot of yin lightning mines in the battle. Zhao Hai doesn't want others to know that he had this much ying lightning mines. If the others knew, then they would be prepared, reducing the impact of the mines in the battlefield.

Zhao Hai wasn't satisfied because the yin lightning mines killed a lot of his enemies. He was happy because even if the mines killed the Cultivators and Devil Pract.i.tioners, it wasn't too destructive by itself.

If the Cultivators and Devil Pract.i.tioners weren't huddled up at that time and instead scattered themselves, then the yin lightning mines wouldn't be able to kill a lot of them. It was because they were close to each other that the yin thunder mines were able to display a lot of might.

If the yin lightning mines were truly powerful, then Lin Jiang wouldn't have handed them over. And the Devil Realm shouldn’t have made Tu Mietan use it sneakily. One could see the limitations of the yin lightning mines from this point. Only when there's a large number of them would they exert their formidable power.

After everything has been processed, Zhao Hai teleported to the s.p.a.ce. As for the transmission formations in the Void Arena, he placed seals on it so that reactivating them in a short time would be impossible.

Upon entering the s.p.a.ce, Zhao Hai discovered that Laura and the others were busily discussing the data collected from the battle. The scene looked like they were having a conference.

They could look for weak points through this post-battle a.n.a.lysis. This way, they wouldn't make the same mistake the next time.

Presently, the Universal Processing Machine was making yin lightning mines. These mines would definitely be very useful for the Undead. It has more utility compared to magic artifacts and paper talismans. Although these mines were known for being difficult to ma.s.s-produce, the s.p.a.ce was an anomaly that could do the impossible. And once the s.p.a.ce gains the ability to ma.s.s-produce these yin lightning mines, then Zhao Hai wouldn't need to fear anybody.

The usage of yin lightning mines this time brought out several issues. The first issue was the distance where the mines could be used. Yin lightning mines were different compared to most magic artifacts. In the World of Cultivation, things like the yin lightning mines were considered to be hidden weapons. People only cared about their power and not how to control them.

When controlling magic artifacts, Cultivators would use their spiritual force and tap into the artifact's core. Then they would control the artifact through this core. This way, even if the artifact was damaged, the spiritual force used to control it wouldn't be affected too much. And since magic artifacts rarely get destroyed, Cultivators weren't too worried about damaging their spiritual force.

However, consumable weapons like yin lightning mines were different. These weapons wouldn't have formation cores so they couldn't be controlled with much flexibility. But if they were equipped with formation cores, even if they can be controlled better, once they explode the spiritual force of the user would be heavily damaged.

When ordinary artifacts get destroyed, they were crushed from the outside to the inside. And since these artifacts were most often made with quality materials, their formation cores would have good defenses and would protect the user's spiritual force.

On the other hand, yin thunder mines were exploding artifacts. These artifacts start to explode from inside out. If there was a formation core, then the user's spiritual force would no doubt be damaged. Once the yin lightning mines explode, the first to be damaged wouldn't be the enemy, but the user. Because of this, exploding artifacts like the yin lightning mines don't have any system for flexible control. They would only be made to be as powerful as possible. Because of this, yin lightning mines could only be used during sneak attacks or large-scale like what the Undead did. Only through these methods could the yin lightning mines display their true power.

The yin lightning mines' greatest problem right now was control. So what Zhao Hai needed to do was find a way to fix this problem as well as reduce its threat to the user's spiritual force.

After undergoing the a.n.a.lysis of the scanner, Zhao Hai managed to obtain a diagram for a modified yin lightning mine. Originally, a large part of the formations inside the mines were for sealing yin lightning inside while the others were used for activating the mine as well as increasing its explosive might.

But in the diagram that Zhao Hai obtained, new magic formations were added to the mines. These formations could seal the yin lightning while also increasing the mine's explosive might. More importantly, these magic formations allowed the existence of a formation core.

This formation allowed the control of the artifact. Ordinarily, this formation core shouldn't be placed inside the mine. But in the diagram, this formation core had an additional formation that has only one function, and that was to delay the mine's activation.

This delay would activate once the user activates the yin lightning mine. It would delay the explosion by a fraction of a second. Even if it was just a moment's time, this delay would allow the user to evacuate their spiritual force from the formation core. This way, the user wouldn't be injured by using the yin lightning mines. This would also provide the user with a firm control over the mines.

One shouldn't underestimate this simple modification. If it weren't for the scanner, then even if someone spent hundreds of years researching, they wouldn't be able to find the compatible formations and magic formations to achieve this feat.

After obtaining this diagram, Zhao Hai immediately ordered its production. These yin lightning mines would definitely become great weapons for the Undead.

Just like Zhao Hai, the Undead have never used magic artifacts before. If they were equipped with magic artifacts that they weren't familiar with, then it would take some time for them to use it. The Undead needed to be taught the Cultivation Realm's cultivation methods and then practice it. Only then would the Undead become Cultivators. In the future, they wouldn't be different to the Cultivators from the Demon Realm.

In the World of Cultivation, Demon Cultivators don't only refer to plants or beasts that were able to cultivate. These Demon Cultivators also include Zombies and Ghosts. However, even if these Zombies and Ghosts cultivate their own cultivation methods, they could still be considered to be Cultivators.

The Undead inside the s.p.a.ce were heading towards this direction. Zhao Hai was heavily advocating for this to be pushed through. In the future, the s.p.a.ce's Undead would become a powerful influence in the World of Cultivation.

……….

While inside the s.p.a.ce, Zhao Hai wasn't only researching new ideas. He was also paying attention to the Machine Field's situation. Naturally, when Ma Rulong and the others returned to the Machine Field, they were met with a hero’s welcome. However, upon seeing that Zhao Hai wasn't with them, the entire realm went into an uproar. There were several powers in the Machine Field that wanted to go to the Cultivation Realm to save Zhao Hai. However, they didn't succeed since the transmission formations had been closed. And if they use battles.h.i.+ps to head to the Cultivation Realm, then this would be taken as a declaration of war.

Because of this, the Machine Field could only protest the Cultivation Realm to open the transmission formations as soon as possible. However, the Cultivation Realm didn't answer. It was as though they were delaying for time.

Chapter 1274 – Becoming a Celebrity

Actually, the people from the Cultivation Realm felt strange. The Cultivation Realm and the Devil Realm knew that Fu Yishan and Zhongli Qiang were taking care of Zhao Hai back in the Void Arena. And to prevent people from rescuing Zhao Hai, they blockaded the transmission formation.

However, how long has it been? The Cultivators knew that there were more than 100 people who remained to deal with Zhao Hai. Although most of them were Foundation Establishment Experts, these experts were still at the top of their level. As for geniuses like Suo Liancheng, they all returned to their sects since they still need to cultivate.

In the minds of the Cultivators, dealing with Zhao Hai shouldn't be dangerous and there's no need for that many people to remain in order to deal with him. A lot of those experts who remained did so for their reputation. They would be able to boast later on that, "Remember the Machine Field's genius Zhao Hai? He was killed by us!" n.o.body was thinking that they would fail.

Naturally, Zhao Hai knew about all of these. However, he didn't want to return to the Machine Field yet. Those were more than 100 experts. If he went back now and those experts go missing, then wouldn't that be terrifying? When the time comes, even Transcending Tribulation Experts would come deal with him. He wasn't prepared for that kind of trouble yet.

Zhao Hai wasn't idling inside the s.p.a.ce. He was studying Yao Guang's formations. These formations need flags and disks to function, but Zhao Hai doesn't need to worry about them. He has liquid silver that could transform. Whether it was a flag or a disk, it can replace them.

Zhao Hai knew that he had offended the Cultivation Realm and the Devil Realm for real this time. People from these two realms would certainly find trouble with him in the future. And there would definitely be formation experts among these people. The World of Cultivation was a very unusual place. So even if he has the s.p.a.ce, he couldn't depend on it for safety all the time. Moreover, Zhao Hai doesn't want to reveal the s.p.a.ce's secret. Revealing it would only bring him even greater trouble. Because of this, he wanted to understand as many formations as possible. Therefore, even if he doesn't use the s.p.a.ce, he could still break out of formations. Only then could he keep the s.p.a.ce a secret.

The Machine FIeld and the Cultivation Realm were at a stalemate while Zhao Hai was hiding inside the s.p.a.ce. At the same time, the people in the Devil Realm weren't saying anything. For a time, it was as if everyone had forgotten about the Void Arena.

Zhao Hai stayed inside the s.p.a.ce for about seven or eight days. During this period of time, the Cultivation Realm began to react. They couldn't understand what's taking so long. And after seeing that the Void Arena's transmission formations have been sealed, they were even more confused. Some groups immediately sent some people on transportation artifacts to the Void Arena to break the seal on the transmission formation.

People from the Devil Realm also felt that something wasn't right. However, they don't believe that Zhao Hai could do anything to Zhongli Qiang and the others. What they were afraid of was the Cultivators taking the opportunity to attack the Devil Realm's people. Therefore, they also sent people to the Void Arena to check the situation.

Because this matter was a joint operation between the Cultivation Realm and the Devil Realm, the Cultivators didn't stop them. Several groups were rus.h.i.+ng over to the Void Arena.

Of course, Zhao Hai noticed this situation from inside the s.p.a.ce. Although he hasn't been to a lot of places in the Cultivation Realm, he at least knew the situation in Seamount City. There were all kinds of rumors circulating inside the city at this moment. It was through these rumors that Zhao Hai became aware of what happened. He also knew that it was time for him to return.

After saying goodbye to Laura and the others, Zhao Hai's body disappeared from the s.p.a.ce and reappeared just outside the Ashley Family's building in Machine Field Planet.

At this time, the family's office was very busy. Zhao Hai chose to appear in this place because Margaret was currently here.

Naturally, Margaret was only here officially. She still spent most of her time inside the s.p.a.ce. Some time ago, Margaret had to go back to Dark Demon Planet. But now, under the reason that she was waiting for Zhao Hai, she relocated to Machine Field Planet. However, she spent most of her time inside her room and declined all visitors. She just went to the s.p.a.ce and played around with Laura and the others.

As soon as Zhao Hai appeared outside the Ashley Family's building, he immediately noticed that there were a lot of people from the family's External Halls present. These people weren't young. All of them were Ascenders with close to zero chance of breaking through. Therefore, they looked for work. And since the Ashley Family was expanding, their headquarters in the capital planet needed personnel to greet the guests as well as to guard the building. This gave the people from the External Halls slots for new jobs.

Zhao Hai appeared very suddenly. People were able to see him but they had yet to process who they saw. Zhao Hai just nodded at them as he walked towards the building.

It was also at this time that people recovered. They had just seen Zhao Hai. They immediately flew towards the building, even overtaking Zhao Hai as they yelled, "Zhao Hai's here! Zhao Hai is here!" The voices were too loud that people might even think that someone was coming to rob the place.

Zhao Hai stared, then he smiled bitterly as he shook his head. He had already seen the Machine Field's att.i.tude towards him while he was inside the s.p.a.ce. People from External Halls were already regarding him as their idol. Knowing that he had yet to come back, they were the first people to stage a protest, requesting the realm's higher-ups to retrieve him. Under the pressure, the Machine Field's higher-ups had to get into conversation with the Cultivators. However, they still don't have the courage to go to war.

Now that he was back, it was given that the entire Machine Field would be in a stir. At this time, Margaret flew down from her room and dashed towards Zhao Hai. Seeing Margaret's appearance, Zhao Hai laughed and said, "I just bid goodbye to you inside the s.p.a.ce, you already miss me?"

While being in Zhao Hai's embrace, Margaret whispered, "It's an act. Sister Laura said to accompany you."

Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Really? So you aren't thinking of me?"

Margaret squeezed her grip on Zhao Hai, but she didn't say anything. In the eyes of other people, they looked like two lovers who haven't seen each other for a long time. So naturally they didn't see anything wrong.

At this time, Desbarres and Luke flew out of the building. Desbarres has been in Machine FIeld Planet for a while now. On one hand, he was waiting for Zhao Hai. And on the other hand, he was helping Luke since the office had been too busy because of the Ashley Family's expansion. There were now more jobs on the planet so Luke needed an experienced person like Desbarres to help him.

After a while, Margaret let go of Zhao Hai and then stood behind him. When they saw this, Desbarres and Luke walked over. Zhao Hai looked at Desbarres and gave a salute as he said, "Camp Lord, I'm back."

Desbarres looked at Zhao Hai, his eyes were a little red. He hugged Zhao Hai for some time before releasing him, then he patted Zhao Hai's shoulders vigorously as he said, "Alright, you're back, good, good. Hahaha. It's good that you're back."

Luke also gave Zhao Hai a firm hug. Then he led Zhao Hai to walk into the building. But at this time, more and more people were encircling them. Zhao Hai was now the hero of the Machine Field, so all of them wanted to come over to greet him.

Majority of these people have seen Zhao Hai, and they wanted to go over and say h.e.l.lo. Zhao Hai responded to them all. Moreover, he called them with their names. When these people heard their own names being called, they couldn't help but feel very lucky. There were also some new people who had yet to meet Zhao Hai. Naturally, Zhao Hai couldn't neglect them. So he met them one by one and listened to their introductions.

In this case, Zhao Hai could hardly enter the building. And more and more people were arriving. Zhao Hai didn't expect everyone to be this enthusiastic, he was stuck on wondering what to do for a moment.

Among the people who crowded the place was a beautiful woman wearing work clothes. Behind her was another person holding a small device. The light on the device was covering Zhao Hai's body. When he saw this, Zhao Hai didn't put on guards, he knew that this must be the cameras of the Machine Field. It seems like these people were from the news agencies.

Sure enough, the beautiful woman pointed a microphone towards Zhao Hai and then asked a question, "Mister Zhao Hai, welcome back. How did you come back to the Machine Field? Is it true that you have been chased by the Cultivators?"

Zhao Hai couldn't help but feel proud, he didn't expect someone from the news agencies would come and interview him. He cleared his throat and then said, "I used s.p.a.ce magic to return. And I didn't encounter any Cultivators. I just had something to do after the compet.i.tion, so I asked Team Leader Ma Rulong to excuse me."

This was the excuse that Zhao Hai thought of beforehand. He wouldn't admit that he had met an attack. In this case, the Cultivation Realm and the Demon Realm would have no reason to go look for him for trouble. Oh, you have more than 100 people missing? What does that have to do with me? I don't know them, I haven't even seen them, so why are you asking me? I have something to do and I just took care of it. What did I do? Why should I tell you?

Even if everyone knew what he did, he would never admit it. If he did, then this would give the Cultivation Realm and the Devil Realm an excuse to deal with him fairly. People from the two realms would unite and put pressure on the Machine Field. This wasn't something that Zhao Hai wanted to see.

Both the Cultivation Realm and the Devil Realm wanted to swallow the Machine Field. But since everyone had some reservations, n.o.body wanted to make the first move. If Zhao Hai admits what he did, then the Cultivation Realm and the Devil Realm would be given the opportunity to unite. If these two realms cooperate, then the Machine Field would be in grave danger. Even if they were able to repel the two realms, the losses they would suffer wouldn't be small. And Zhao Hai doesn't want the Machine Field to go to war yet.

Chapter 1275 – Do You Believe It?

Zhao Hai was sitting in a room drinking hot tea. Margaret was sitting beside him while Desbarres and Luke were on the opposite side. They had just finished dealing with the visitors and finally got the opportunity to go inside a room.

Desbarres looked at Zhao Hai and laughed as he said, "Little Hai, you're famous now. Look at all the people outside. Every one of them is crazy to meet you. Hahaha. I'm somewhat jealous."

Zhao Hai grumpily replied, "Camp Lord, how could this be good? Have you seen their faces? It seems like they want me to stay there forever."

Desbarres and Luke laughed. Then Luke smiled and said, "We also want to get the same treatment. Unfortunately, even if we deliver ourselves to be interviewed, they would still ignore us."

Zhao Hai chuckled, then he s.h.i.+fted the topic, "Camp Lord, why is the office so crowded today? Is there a party going on?"

Of course, Zhao Hai knows what's happening. He just asked since he shouldn't know about it. This was, he wouldn’t be too suspicious.

Desbarres smiled and said, "The family borrowed your light. Now these people have come to manage our businesses. The family has undergone a great transformation. It's in a much better state than before. I really can't describe it in a few words. So how about you? Why did you only return now?"

Zhao Hai placed his teacup down, then he smiled faintly and said, "I'm afraid that Team Leader Ma Rulong and the others would be in danger while returning with the deeds. So I stayed behind to take attention away from them. Then I fought with people from the Cultivation Realm and Devil Realm before coming back."

Desbarres' expression changed, he immediately replied, "You really fought? Did the Cultivation Realm and the Devil Realm work together to deal with you?"

Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Right. Didn't I kill their partic.i.p.ants during the tournament? Those guys are unbearably angry about that. They wanted to keep me from leaving the Cultivation Realm. Unfortunately, they failed."

Luke looked puzzled as he asked, "But didn't you say that you didn't fight anyone? Why…" But before he could continue, he was interrupted by Desbarres.

Luke turned to Desbarres who smiled and said, "This matter cannot be told to anyone. This way, even if Little Hai has come back, the Cultivation Realm and the Devil Realm couldn't do anything about it. Am I right, Little Hai?"

Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Camp Lord really knows me. Now, they'll have no reason to deal with me. This time, I killed more than 100 people, all of them have all kinds of backgrounds. Therefore, this matter cannot be known. Or else, not only would I be in trouble, I'll also be taking the Machine Field with me."

Upon hearing this, Luke couldn't help but breathe in cold air. Desbarres was also greatly surprised. Although he expected that Zhao Hai had dealt with those people from the Cultivation Realm and the Devil Realm, he expected it to be a small group. However, upon knowing that there were more than 100 people, he couldn't help but be astonished.

However, the two were also people who had seen their fair share of storms, so they were able to quickly recover. Then Desbarres said, "Did anyone escape?"

Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Camp Lord can rest a.s.sured, I made sure that n.o.body escaped. So as long as I don't admit it, n.o.body would have any evidence."

Desbarres relaxed, then he nodded and said, "Alright. Who else knows about this? Does Ma Rulong know?"

Zhao Hai smiled and said, "I haven't told him about this matter yet, you can rest a.s.sured. After I killed those guys, I immediately returned here. Besides you two, n.o.body else knows about this. However, I reckon this thing will catch wind sooner or later. But since the Cultivation Realm and the Devil Realm have no evidence, they can only bite air. They can't attack me deliberately either since they wouldn't have any reason to do so. Moreover, even if they proceed, they would still be publicly berated by the other realms. So there's no need to worry. Everything should be alright."

Desbarres nodded, "Then that's good. I'll report this matter to the Patriarch, but don't tell anybody else about it. Right, what's the matter with Xiong Li and the others? Why did they immediately close up? Are they injured?"

Zhao Hai smiled and said, "They're fine. Right, since we're on this topic, I have something to tell you. Camp Lord, Mister Luke, have you heard about the Six Realms Battlefield?"

As soon as Desbarres and Luke heard Zhao Hai, the color of their faces changed. The two looked at each other, then Desbarres turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Did Ma Rulong tell you?"

Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Right, Team Leader Ma told me. He asked me to go to the Six Realms Battlefield with Xiong Li and the others for a period of time. I agreed."

Desbarres frowned as he sat there. He didn't make any noise for some time. Luke was silent as well. It's clear that the two knew about the Six Realms Battlefield.

After some time, Desbarres sighed and said, "It's fine to go to the Six Realms Battlefield for practice. Although the place is too dangerous, you shouldn't have any problems there given your strength. You can go there and see for yourself."

Luke nodded and said, "You should take a look. It seems like Ma Rulong is favoring you. Once you come back from the Six Realms Battlefield, n.o.body from the Machine Field would be able to underestimate you."

Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Right. But I still have another thing to tell you. After I come back from the Six Realms Battlefield, I'm planning to go independent along with Xiong Li and the others. What does Camp Lord think about this?"

As soon as Desbarres heard Zhao Hai, he didn't look even a bit surprised. He looked at Zhao Hai, then he sighed and said, "I expected this day to come, but I didn't expect it to come this early. I'll pa.s.s it to the Patriarch, he also thought about this. But Little Hai, I hope that you can remember that you are from the Bone Symbol Camp and Margaret is also from the Ashley Family. If the Ashley Family is in trouble, please lend us a hand."

Zhao Hai smiled and said, "There's no need to worry about it, Camp Lord. Margaret is the Ahsley Family's princess, and I'm also someone from the family. Even if I go independent with Xiong Li and the others, how could I forget the Ashley Family? Rest a.s.sured."

Desbarres nodded, then he said, "It's a good thing to go independent. But there are a lot of things that needed to be taken care of. First of all, you will need a base. Do you need my help to find you one?"

Zhao Hai smiled and said, "It's fine Camp Lord, I've already found a place. I'll take a look at it when the time comes."

Upon hearing Zhao Hai, Desbarres nodded and said, "That's good. You just came back today, I'm afraid there would be a lot of people who would want to see you. How about this, let's have a party tonight so that you can meet everyone. Let those people know that you're not an impostor. Those people from the Cultivation Realm would never think that you would kill so many of them."

Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Alright, I'll leave everything to you. I'll take a short rest first."

Seeing Zhao Hai's smile, Desbarres and Luke couldn't help but smile slightly as they gave Margaret a glance. Then they stood up as Desbarres said, "Alright, then take a rest. We'll be heading out to prepare. I'll call you later." Then the two turned around and left.

Margaret looked at Desbarres and Luke's smiles and knew that the two had misunderstood. When the two left, Margaret hit Zhao Hai as she said, "Brother Hai, why did you say it like that? Look at their smiles, I'm embarra.s.sed."

Zhao Hai just laughed and said, "This is to erase any suspicions that Camp Lord might have. We haven't seen each other for a long time, so we should be longing to be with each other."

Naturally, Margaret wasn't convinced with this. But since he can't do anything about it, Zhao Hai laughed once more then he said, "Alright, please prepare some tea. Team Leader Ma is here."

When Margaret heard Zhao Hai, she immediately complied and prepared some tea. Margaret knew how much Zhao Hai respects Ma Rulong.

Sure enough, just as Margaret stood up, a knock was heard on the door. Then a robot's voice came in, "Mister Zhao Hai, Mister Ma Rulong is looking for you."

Zhao Hai stood up and walked to the door before opening it. A robot stood outside the door with Ma Rulong standing beside it.

When Zhao Hai saw Ma Rulong, he immediately smiled and said, "Team Leader, come in, come in." Ma Rulong nodded and then entered the room.

As soon as he entered the room, Ma Rulong quickly noticed Margaret. Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Team Leader, this is my wife Margaret. Margaret, this is team leader Ma. He took good care of me back in the Cultivation Realm.."

Margaret immediately gave Ma Rulong a salute, "Margaret has seen Team Leader Ma. Thank you for taking care of Zhao Hai." Ma Rulong politely returned the salute. Then Zhao Hai asked him to sit down.

After Ma Rulong had sat down, Margaret immediately offered him a cup of tea. Ma Rulong expressed his grat.i.tude before taking a sip of tea. But it was clear that his thoughts weren't on the tea. He just took a sip as a formality.

Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Can I ask why Team Leader Ma is looking for me?"

Ma Rulong took a glance at Margaret. When he saw this, Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Team Leader, Margaret is my wife, she knows everything about me."

Ma Rulong nodded, then he looked at Zhao Hai and said, "I just heard someone say that you haven't been attacked by the people from the Cultivation Realm and the Devil realm? Is this true?"

Zhao Hai replied, "I did say those things. But Team Leader, you should know about the situation at that time. Do you really believe that what I said is the truth?"

When Ma Rulong heard Zhao Hai, he paused for a moment then he laughed. After some time, he stopped. Then he looked at Zhao Hai and whispered, "How many?"

Zhao Hai chuckled and said, "I didn't count them, but there should be less than 200. In any case, Fu Yishan and Zhongli Qiang are gone. And none of them were able to run away."

Ma Rulong nodded and said, "Don't tell this to anyone. You already told everyone that n.o.body attacked you, so n.o.body attacked you. Even if they come up with some reason, as long as you don't admit it, they can’t do anything. Does anyone else know?"

Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Camp Lord Desbarres knows about it. But rest a.s.sured, n.o.body else will find out. Right, Team Leader, the Six Realms Battlefield, how is it?"

Ma Rulong smiled and said, "Rest a.s.sured, I'll take care of it. There's no need for you to worry. When the time comes, I'll inform you."

Zhao Hai nodded, "Then I'll wait for you. Right, Team Leader, we're going to hold a party tonight. You should partic.i.p.ate, call everyone else as well." Naturally, by everyone else, Zhao Hai meant the other team leaders. Although these people were also called team leaders, all of them were led by Ma Rulong.

Ma Rulong nodded and said, "Alright, I'll call them. But just to let you know, before you returned, those fellows haven't been living great lives. They don't dare go alone and instead they just waited for you to return. To be honest, those guys have gotten through a lot. The protests are extremely bothersome."

Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Then this only means we need to celebrate. Right, Team Leader, what prize did I win? Shouldn't I get some?"

Ma Rulong laughed and said, "Rest a.s.sured, you will get them. If there's anything lacking, then people will protest once more. Just wait a few days and they will be sent to you."

Zhao Hai smiled and said, "I don't know what I won, but Team Leader, just know that I only accept good things."

Ma Rulong laughed once more, "Don't worry, everything will be good. Alright, I'll head back and call everyone over." Then he stood up. Zhao Hai also stood up and led Ma Rulong to the door.

After sending Ma Rulong off, Margaret looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Brother Hai, what prizes do you think they would send? It would be best if they send things that the s.p.a.ce doesn't have."

Zhao Hai smiled and said, "After all my efforts, giving me materials for a prize is too little. Although the s.p.a.ce has a lot of good things, how much of it is really useful right now? Also, it would be harder to upgrade the s.p.a.ce in the future. We would still need to collect more valuable things for the s.p.a.ce. It'll be best for us if they let me choose other kinds of rewards."

Margaret smiled and said, "That's true. You have given a great contribution this time. n.o.body from the Machine Field has given a greater contribution in the past hundred years. Brother Hai, if you can choose, what kind of reward do you want?"

Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "It really depends on what they decide on. But If I were to choose, maybe I'll want a planet that n.o.body wants. We can build a base there and have the island be our secret base. What do you think?"

Margaret nodded and said, "That is also good. Otherwise, we could only establish a base in the Rainbow Meteorite Field. And that place is too boring."

Zhao Hai knitted his brows and said, "Does the Machine Field really have planets that n.o.body wants? How is that possible? If a planet is somewhat useful, then shouldn't they be taken by the families?"

Margaret stared at Zhao Hai and said, "Who says there are no vacant planets in the Machine Field? Not only do these planets exist, but there are a lot of them."
