Chapter 114 Foolish
They then stayed in the Alps VII Forward Base for another three days before parting ways. D’Artagnan was still unconscious, leaving only Fangsēn Yán and Ronnie to say goodbye.

Ronnie’s feelings towards Fangsēn Yán were complex, a mix of hatred, fear, gratitude, and admiration. He didn't know what to say.

Fangsēn Yán watched the busy transport ships in the sky, his gaze fixed on their orange tail flames. After a long while, he smiled at Ronnie and said,

"Is your bloody weapon ready?"

Ronnie snorted.

"Of course. If I had this weapon before, that Iron Blood Clan Arbiter would have died by my hands!"

Ronnie knew that after this farewell, he and Fangsēn Yán would likely never cross paths again, and there would be no conflict of interest. He readily showed Fangsēn Yán the weapon's attributes. Fangsēn Yán then realized that bloody equipment sold to probationary lieutenants also came in varying qualities. It was true that one could only appreciate the goods when compared!

The Strength of Invincibility that Fangsēn Yán had obtained earlier could be considered a rare treasure in his eyes, but compared to Ronnie's customized weapon, they were on completely different levels.

Ronnie's weapon was in the form of a one-handed short sword. He held it in his hand, and it looked like a mixture of ice and light. Although it looked abstract, it was full of sharpness and a piercing aura, as if it could pierce through the boundaries of time and space!

This one-handed short sword also had a rare attribute: Sharpness, which added an extra 10% critical hit rate, and once a critical hit occurred, the critical damage would be calculated at 4 times!

Another attribute was: After stabbing an enemy, it would secrete a unique toxin that would seep into the enemy's body, forcibly reducing the healing effect they received for a period of time by 50%. If the stabbed target was a contractor, then the rate of reduced healing would be increased to 75%. If it was a potion that restored health by percentage, such as the Honor Potion, it would be defaulted to only restore 25% of health.

Looking at Ronnie's weapon, Fangsēn Yán couldn't help but admire it. However, Ronnie said regretfully that he must find a way to obtain a regular army rank in the future. Fangsēn Yán couldn't help but ask why.

Ronnie didn't hide anything from Fangsēn Yán and told him that the sharpness attribute of his weapon was already the pinnacle of scattered bloody weapons, and there couldn't be anything better than that.

However, he had seen that a rare attribute of the regular army called "Divine Favor" was even more terrifying. When hitting an enemy, there was a chance to obtain the favor of the gods. The attacks in the next five seconds would definitely hit the enemy, and every hit during the duration would be a critical hit!

Fangsēn Yán was also extremely surprised after hearing such a perverted attribute, because if this attribute was combined with a gunslinger who had a fast rate of fire and a lot of bullets, and they unleashed hundreds of bullets in four seconds that would definitely hit and every hit would be a critical hit... then would there be any room for others to survive?

With a common language, the previous awkwardness between the two gradually dissipated, and they began to talk more congenially. But at this time, the spaceships of both sides had been waiting for a long time. They really couldn't stay any longer. However, when they parted, Ronnie couldn't help but say,

"I hope I don't see you again in the future."

Fangsēn Yán asked strangely,

"Why?"

Ronnie sighed.

"The probability of us being assigned together again to complete a mission of honor can be said to be very small. So the next time I see you, it is likely to be on the bloody battlefield, in a fight to the death... Damn it. It's not a pleasant thing to be enemies with you, you bastard!"

Fangsēn Yán laughed loudly.

"That's not necessarily true. For a long time after entering the Eupryos planet, didn't you choose to be my enemy? Now look, you are the only one besides me who was able to retreat completely."

Ronnie smiled bitterly and waved at Fangsēn Yán. Then, he turned around after taking a few steps and hesitated.

"You, you are the most meticulous person I have ever met. Can I ask you a question? We no longer have any conflicts of interest, so I believe your judgment is fair and accurate."

Next, Ronnie told Fangsēn Yán a story somewhat similar to a flipped version of Zeus and Zi. Fortunately, Ronnie succeeded, so the two were still in the team. Unfortunately, that woman used this trick on several core members, so Ronnie was wearing a green hat. In this situation, it would be strange if he wasn't in pain and conflicted. He had the idea of leaving the team, but he couldn't let go.

After listening, Fangsēn Yán said to him,

"Can you accept a woman who maintains sexual relationships with multiple people as your wife?"

Ronnie smiled bitterly and shook his head, very resolutely.

"Of course not."

Fangsēn Yán laughed loudly.

"Since that's the case, she can't be your wife, right? Then she's someone else's wife. You're giving other men green hats every day in this team. Does it feel great?"

Ronnie was stunned:

"This... this logic?"

Fangsēn Yán smiled and said,

"My suggestion is that you don't leave, because you don't have the willingness and ability to let go yet. But you must first adjust your mentality, otherwise, you may die in the space."

Ronnie pondered for a while and said thank you gratefully.

Watching Ronnie's departing figure, Fangsēn Yán suddenly fell into silence, because he suddenly thought of his own and even Zi's mentality! It was hard to say whether Mist Song knew about the relationship between himself and Zi, so what was she thinking at this time? Was she pretending not to know, or like Ronnie, slowly accumulating her mentality and then exploding it all at once?

Ronnie was definitely an indispensable part of his team, but the energy and even money that Fangsēn Yán had invested in Zi were also extraordinary. Once Zi wanted to leave, it would be a more disastrous blow to the small ace team! At the thought of this, Fangsēn Yán immediately made up his mind to tie Zi to his side, even if it meant using some unscrupulous means. Fangsēn Yán had his own principles, but that definitely didn't include him doing things in a conventional manner...

While Fangsēn Yán was thinking, he boarded the ship that was sending him back. At this time, he saw that the person who came to escort him back was actually Archer.

This guy was now appreciated by Meng Ge and had been promoted two levels in a row. As a mere captain, he managed the entire base's maintenance organization. He would soon be able to take the exam to become a senior technical engineer. For Archer, he had the ability, but he only lacked an opportunity to display it. At this time, he could be said to be riding the spring breeze. He didn't expect that he would still have time to send him back.

Of course, Fangsēn Yán, who was returning with a large number of bysmatium bars, was now completely different. No one dared to look at him with the eyes of an inferior race. But Fangsēn Yán wouldn't refuse to travel with Archer, a familiar guy who seemed more pleasing to the eye.

As for Archer, the mysterious and powerful man in front of him was his lucky star. Since meeting him, he could be said to have been constantly lucky. When else would he hold on to this thick thigh if he didn't do it now? Fangsēn Yán looked at Archer, and a thought suddenly moved in his heart. He pointed to the cabin, obviously asking if there were any monitoring facilities. Archer smiled.

"Yes, but it will all be summarized here with me, so confidentiality is not a problem."

Fangsēn Yán thought for a while, took out two bysmatium bars and threw them to the dumbfounded Archer.

"My Bloody Lieutenant General Armor is being customized. If you have the opportunity, help me keep an eye on it. Also, help me collect any unfavorable news. But you don't have to take any action. Trying to climb up the ranks is the greatest reward for me."

Archer had also heard of this kind of thing. It was very common in the alliance and was called political donation. However, he didn't expect that he would one day encounter this kind of thing, and what he received was actually such an amazing sum of money!

He was about to speak, but he realized that Fangsēn Yán had already begun to close his eyes and pretend to sleep. Not long after, Fangsēn Yán returned to his Nightmare Space. Looking at this ugly, huge, terrifying, and strange super-giant object from afar, Fangsēn Yán felt an indescribable sense of intimacy in his heart. That kind of respect also carried a bit of longing, which he had never experienced before.

After returning to the space, even though he had already contacted the people in his team, the first thing Fangsēn Yán did was to take the bysmatium bars to the space for identification. He thought that this thing might be able to sell for a good price in the space.

However, the identification result that popped up instantly stunned Fangsēn Yán.

This is a low-level, backward element that was once widely used but was eventually completely banned. It has extremely negative effects and is of no value to the space.

This... this!!

Fangsēn Yán suddenly realized that many things could be explained. It could be said that everything fell into place at once.

Why is bysmatium so rare?

It turned out that before humans, another civilization that created the Nightmare Space had already mined it on a large scale, which is why this element appeared so rare even with the power of the empire.

But why was Eupryos a fish that slipped through the net of that civilization?

Because, judging from the fact that Cyclops from Greek mythology appeared on it, it was possible that Eupryos was the result of parallel spaces encroaching and overlapping each other. Eupryos was likely materialized from another plane. It should not be a native product of this plane!
