Twenty minutes later, Ren Zhong and Zheng Tian left side by side, walking quickly towards the centralized sleep pods.
Halfway there, Zheng Tian was full of doubts, wanting to speak several tis but stopping.
However, Ren Zhong maintained a high and cold deanor throughout, deep in thought, unwilling to chat.
Zheng Tian ultimately did not ask.
Ren Zhong's expenses tonight were not small.
The talent test cost 5 Contribution Points, which won't need to be tested again next ti, saving this money.
Well, if there is a next ti.
Then Ren Zhong bought an entire set of simple training-type exoskeletons, priced at 20 Contribution Points.
This item looks nothing like an exoskeleton, consisting of a tactical vest, camouflage pants, sun hat, gloves, and shoes, all made of organic fibers and circuits hidden in the fabric layers, providing nearly no impact protection and no combat power boost.
However, the importance of training gear needs no further explanation.
This is the stepping stone for every pure newcor entering the field of chanical warriors.
It has two major functions.
First, for those whose understanding of chanical warriors remains superficial, they can experience the feeling of controlling a real combat-type exoskeleton through the training gear.
Second, through conservative low-intensity stimulation, it allows micro-electric currents to flow continuously through the human neural network, like a rushing river broadening riverbanks, gradually increasing the Biological Electric Power Value of the body.
If one day Ren Zhong's body can reach the maximum output power of the training gear, it ans he can switch to actual combat equipnt.
Additionally, Ren Zhong purchased five compression batteries for use with the training exoskeleton, each costing 2 Contribution Points totaling 10 points.
These three expenses alone consud a total of 35 Contribution Points, equivalent to more than a month's inco for other mbers of Zheng Tian's team, a significant sum.
But these expenses were all justifiable and necessary.
However, Zheng Tian couldn't understand why he bought sothing else.
Magnetic Storm Dust Hand Grenade: a Third Level special bomb, which upon explosion can disperse nanoter-level neodymium-iron-boron strong magnetic powder, covering an area of 30 ters, with a total powder mass of 3 kg and a floating ti of 30 seconds. Price 50 Contribution Points.
This thing is a Third Level one-ti-use consumable item, rarely usable and very expensive.
The team's professional bomb handler, Ou Youning, could only afford two with his entire fortune.
But Ou Youning would never buy such a thing, rationality would be lost.
In short, thanks to Ren Zhong's extravagant spending, he spent a total of 85 Contribution Points tonight in the Military Weapon Store, the deduction causing Zheng Tian beside him to feel anxious.
Returning to the sleep pods, each settled down, Ren Zhong finally lay down, feeling slightly relieved.
If Zheng Tian had asked him why he bought the grenade earlier, he really wouldn't have been able to answer.
His achievents today were satisfactory overall.
The only regret was that after these expenses, he only had 17.52 Contribution Points left, unable to afford a First Level Basic Exoskeleton of the sa level as Wen Lei. He could only wait until he saved enough to think about it again.
Balanced First Level Basic Exoskeleton, which includes five base parts: head, body, hands, legs, and feet, totaling 150 Contribution Points, with each part requiring an average of 30 points.
Ren Zhong was not in a hurry now, anyway, he wouldn't dare to wear it even if he bought it.
At exactly ten o'clock in the evening, Ren Zhong "fell asleep" as scheduled.
The night was as fulfilling as before.
"To do a good job, one must first sharpen his tools," he spent all his ti learning the basic knowledge of chanical warriors.
He comprehensively learned the instructions for using training gear and learned the four major paraters for advancing chanical warriors: Brain-Machine Synchronization Rate, Biological Electric Power Value, Brain Reaction Index, and Physical Comprehensive Index.
The Brain Reaction Index and Physical Comprehensive Index relate to practical combat ability; being slightly below the mark is fine, as long as he can wear the equipnt.
Ren Zhong's Brain-Machine Synchronization Rate is already up to standard.
The most imdiate improvent needed is the second parater, Biological Electric Power Value.
The specific calculation of Carrying Power Value is complex, but its external representation can be simply summarized that the higher it is, the more maximum power a chanical warrior can output with the armor.
For example, Wen Lei is currently a seasoned First Level warrior, so his armor's maximum output power must exceed 10 kilowatts.
As for Ren Zhong, this number is currently at most 1 kilowatt, necessitating the use of training armor to improve.
Once this number exceeds 10 kilowatts, he can wear First Level equipnt, barely qualifying as a prospective First Level warrior who hasn't passed the professional title examination.
The next morning, everything repeated with so slight differences.
Upon waking from sleep, Ren Zhong first checked the balance on his wrist watch.
Great, it increased by exactly 1 point, now it's at 18.52.
The formal wrist watch indeed doesn't require paying the insanely high 90% tax, allowing Ren Zhong to make money while lying down in the future.
Ren Zhong received "another" invitation from Zheng Tian to beco a temporary team mber.
Then the six of them went to the cafeteria to eat, and then to the parking lot.
Compared to last ti, Zheng Tian's mood seed excessively better, walking briskly, causing the whole team to move faster.
To prevent disrupting the timing, Ren Zhong had to control his stride and step frequency throughout, forcing the other five to slow down, swaying along at his pace, determinedly dragging out the ti.
Arriving at the parking lot, they saw the professional team showing off again, made so simple jokes, and departed.
...
Ren Zhong controlled the departure ti with subtle maneuvers unnoticed by others, with only a 0.5-second deviation from last ti, acceptable.
The sa destination, the sa route, the sa seating arrangent, tightly next to Chen Hanyu.
The only change was Ren Zhong wearing the training armor, with low power biological electric stimulation on, numbing his whole body, barely feeling the elasticity of Chen Hanyu's body.
He hadn't taken it off since putting it on last night, never turning it off.
On the way, Zheng Tian carefully explained the professions and specialties of the team mbers to Ren Zhong again, only adding that after today's hunting, Ren Zhong could learn so insights from Wen Lei.
Although Wen Lei was a laughingstock and gossip material at Ju Qingng's place, his basic skills were solid and his level still very competent.
...
Zheng Tian: "Mr. Ren, here's your gun. Later you just..."
Ren Zhong: "Okay."
Holding the machine gun again, Ren Zhong no longer had the sentints of the last ti.
In front of the Bladewing Mantis, this was at most a large water gun, just spraying water, only ant to scare.
...
The hover truck arrived safely at the Iron Worm Forest.
First encounter, second, third...
In a positional battle, Ou Youning showcased his operations with a double explosion from a single shot.
At this point, the team earned a total of 15 Contribution Points.
Zheng Tian counted the supplies again, "Today we're on a roll, and we still have plenty of supplies left. I propose we expand our achievents, what do you all think?"
While asking, Zheng Tian's gaze was fixed on Ren Zhong's face.
Clearly, the overly imaginative Zheng Tian greatly respected the opinions of this "big figure."
Ren Zhong secretly took a deep breath, "Good!"
Zheng Tian: "Which direction? Should we go further in?"
Ren Zhong: "You decide."
"Okay. I think we could venture a bit deeper," Zheng Tian said with a smile.
Half an hour later, the scenes outside the car window seed sowhat familiar and the hover car sensors began to beep warnings.
Ren Zhong quickly glanced around.
Energy Level Reaction Intensity Index 7.7.
The Iron Beetle accompanying the Bladewing Mantis appeared.
Last ti when the team discovered the Iron Beetle, they thought it lower than the minimum value of a First Level Ruined Beast at 10, assuming it was injured.
Now, analyzing backward from the answer, Ren Zhong knew the Iron Beetle was listless precisely because a Bladewing Mantis periodically ca to absorb the iron elents from it.
He took a deep breath.
Great, all the elents: ti, place, engagent position, Ruined Beast species, countering thods, Ruined Beast weaknesses, are gathered now.
It was ti to strategize and win from a thousand miles away.
