Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies Chapter 1488: The Persuader

Deng Shentong told Zhang Yi about his encounter with Amber.

Zhang Yi couldn't help but marvel in wonder.

There were many miraculous things in this world, many opportunities, and he wasn't the only one who could encounter them.

Deng Shentong had encountered his own opportunity, becoming stronger as a result - there was nothing strange about that.

Everyone had their own world, and was the protagonist of their own world.

"The Philosophy of the Mind is hidden in the Dalangdu National Museum of Neon. It's our Huaxu Nation's national treasure, and regardless of the purpose, I believe we need to bring it back!"

Deng Shentong looked at Zhang Yi with sincere eyes.

"This is your second concern. For you, this mission carries almost no risk."

"With your strength, you could sweep through the entire Neon nation right now. The only thing you need to worry about is the Colombian naval fleet stationed in Neon. But they can't threaten your life, can they?"

If the original Philosophy of the Mind was truly written by an ancient Transcendent known as a sage, then it must contain Wang Yangming's life's work.

For modern Transcendents, its value would be enormous.

And there was another point.

It was Huaxu Nation's national treasure, and it shouldn't be sitting in their national museum in Neon.

Zhang Yi rubbed his fingers together.

He thought about the war that had happened over a hundred years ago.

"Now is the time to take back what our ancestors had stolen from them."

Some things always needed to be resolved.

Zhang Yi didn't want to prove how amazing he was, but the education he'd received since childhood had planted a certain thought in his heart. Take back what they had once lost - most importantly, their dignity!

This was something that many people in Huaxu Nation had been working hard to do for years.

No matter how pessimistic they sounded on the surface, or how indifferent they seemed toward everything. People who existed within a collective inevitably carried some sense of national pride.

Humans couldn't avoid being creatures dependent on collectives.

Zhang Yi stared at Deng Shentong, squinting slightly.

"I don't trust you. But you know what the price of deceiving me is. So I agree to participate in this operation."

"You'd better give me satisfactory results. Understand?"

With his strength, sweeping through Neon would be no problem at all.

Even if he encountered any trouble, he could retreat unscathed.

This was the confidence of the world's number one defensive Transcendent.

After getting Zhang Yi's agreement, Deng Shentong's face immediately broke into an excited smile.

"Don't worry! If it turns out I'm wrong, you can have my life!"

"Also, to show my sincerity, I've brought some gifts!"

Deng Shentong took out a palm-sized silver metal box from his person and handed it to Zhang Yi.

"This is the latest research result from Deng Corporation Technology. It can help people improve their strength and break through their limits. Currently, it has good effects on Transcendents with ability indexes below 9,500 points."

He smiled: "I know you have some friends whose foundations are a bit weak. These will help them!"

A glimmer of light flashed in Zhang Yi's eyes, and he smiled as he nodded, putting it away.

"This really is useful to me."

Fatty Xu and Uncle Yu's talents were on the lower end among the combat members.

The fact that they could break through 9,000 points now was entirely because Zhang Yi had used massive amounts of Ground Centipede Essence without counting the cost.

But looking at the current situation, their upper limit for this lifetime might be less than 9,500 points.

Unless they could use God's Essence Shards in the future, Zhang Yi had no better way to improve their strength.

But God Essence was extremely precious and not so easy to obtain.

The potion Deng Shentong had brought now truly pleased Zhang Yi.

"You formulate the action plan and bring it to me. When to set out and how to act - you plan it yourself. I'm only responsible for the fighting!"

Zhang Yi said to Deng Shentong.

He always hated trouble.

Deng Shentong nodded: "Of course! I'll arrange everything, and I'll send you the materials when the time comes."

Zhang Yi invited Deng Shentong to stay for lunch, but Deng Shentong waved his hand to decline.

"I need to go back and work out the battle plan as soon as possible. Every day the national treasure remains in Neon's hands is dangerous. If someone among them recognizes its value and discovers its secrets, that wouldn't be good news for us."

"Suit yourself then."

Zhang Yi saw Deng Shentong off, then told his family members at home about the matter.

When they heard that Zhang Yi planned to go to Neon, Uncle Yu was the first to get excited.

He slammed the table hard, flashing his big white teeth as he said: "Zhang Yi, you've got to let me come this time! Let me teach those little Neon bastards a lesson!"

Zhang Yi laughed: "That's easy to say. Neon's combat power has collapsed severely over there. Since the Star Island battle more than a year ago, their top-tier combat power was almost completely wiped out. The remaining strength now isn't enough to handle the impact of a team at our level."

"But we can't be careless. I remember Neon produced a new Epsilon-class - what was his name?"

He looked at Yang Xinxin.

Yang Xinxin said flatly: "Ultimate Evil Boy. That's obviously not his real name, probably an alias or something. Those Neon guys always like to give themselves scary nicknames. Like the Beast King Sawara Domino or whatever."

Zhang Yi leaned back on the sofa. "Do we have any intelligence on him?"

Yang Xinxin shook her head.

"Not much. We only know that they completely unified Neon a year ago. The organization led by Ultimate Evil Boy is called the Demon-Sealing Court. As for his strength and abilities, there's been no intelligence at all."

"After all, once an Epsilon-class is born, sweeping through their region is still easy."

Zhang Yi said: "A newly promoted Epsilon-class, even if strong, is still within predictable range. And on our side, we have two Epsilon-class fighters and one quasi-Epsilon-class combat power!"

A proud smile curled at the corner of Zhang Yi's mouth.

Looking at his now powerful team, his heart naturally swelled with pride!

This team was one he had trained himself!

Not to mention that he was now a Transcendent with an ability index of 20,000 points, a Black Chariot-tier Awakened!

Looking at the entire planet, he was at the top level!

Except for the few monsters like Houtu that a handful of top-tier nations had raised by exhausting their entire national resources, there was almost no human in this world who could threaten him.

After hearing the full story, everyone felt that this trip to Neon wouldn't be dangerous.

But out of their usual caution, Zhang Yi still decided to bring the main combat force along.

So, just like before, Frog stayed home to guard the place, while Zhang Yi brought Liang Yue, Yang Xinxin, Zhou Ke'er, Mu Yan, Huahua, Uncle Yu, and Fatty Xu to Neon.

As for Yang Siya, Zhou Haimei, and Lu Keran, Zhang Yi had them stay at home.

The girl Hua he had brought back from the Nash Kingdom was also at home, and they could take care of her and teach her modern human language.
