The story is as beautiful as a dream you never wake up from.
The plot is quite cliché, but everyone watched with great interest.
During the movie, Zheng Tian's eyes subtly glanced at Ren Zhong several tis.
Only Ren Zhong found it "shocking".
In the movie, he once again saw the headquarters city of Deep Communication Group.
This dream city like paradise, seems like a carrot tied in front of a sheep's head, endlessly dangling in front of the deserted people.
This carrot entices the deserted people, who are clearly stuck in a quagmire, to run blindly toward the city they can almost only see in dreams, but is separated by an insurmountable chasm.
Isn't this chasm the obstacle you set up?
Giving people endless hope, only to rcilessly extinguish it.
How tragic!
How hateful!
...
"By the way, Wen Lei said you're planning to buy a new car for the team?"
As the movie finally ended, Ren Zhong casually asked Zheng Tian.
Zheng Tian chuckled, proudly taking out a remote control from his pocket and asking Ou Youning to pull out a stack of brochures from a nearby backpack.
"Yes! But it's sothing good! Produced by Source Star Military Industry Group, a Thunderbolt Multi-purpose Battle Car! Second Level military equipnt! Ninety percent new! The original price is nine hundred points, but the captain who's about to eliminate this car happens to be an acquaintance of mine, got it for six hundred! We poured all our savings into it! But we saved three hundred right off, it's worth it no matter what! Hehehe, am I great or what?"
Ren Zhong briefly looked through the brochures.
He doesn't understand the specific paraters very well, but from the basic description, the car's performance does seem quite good.
Once obtained, Zheng Tian's team could be considered to have upgraded from an improvised truck to a proper vehicle.
However, the Thunderbolt Car is slightly smaller in size than the previous assembled container truck, and not as square-shaped, with passenger space slightly reduced, gains and losses.
Ren Zhong put down the brochures.
He didn't ask why, if the team had six hundred in savings, they didn't each get a proper Wrist watch.
The reason is actually quite simple.
A proper Wrist watch, compared to a rented one, apart from having internet access, only earns 0.9 more per day, taking one hundred and twelve days to break even.
But with this car, the team can access places they couldn't before, hunt Ruined Beasts faster, and even forcibly breach so Second and Third Level Ruined Beast barricades to enter the "rich mining areas" where First Level Ruined Beasts appear densely, yielding far more than the watch.
As for online information?
Zheng Tian is a native of Starfire Town, as are the others.
They are familiar with the intel around the small town, only slightly lacking.
Their life only needs to deal with current struggles, not waste a whole hundred point to look at distant dreams.
Comparing the two options, the better choice is obvious.
Of course, Ren Zhong guessed that Zheng Tian's next step would be to buy a Wrist watch.
...
A short while later, Wen Lei went back to his room for a nap, to speed up his injury recovery.
Zheng Tian, Ou Youning, and Bai Feng went out together, saying they had sothing to deal with.
Only Chen Hanyu and Ren Zhong were left in the small courtyard.
As soon as the gate closed, Chen Hanyu, who had been sitting on a small stool two ters away from Ren Zhong, stood and ca closer, sitting opposite Ren Zhong, "Mr. Ren."
"What's up?"
Ren Zhong slowly sat up, looking directly at the other.
He felt sowhat peculiar.
This exceptionally high-cold styled, super attractive girl wouldn't also be learning from Zheng Tian, would she?
Ren Zhong doesn't deny that purely on looks and a perfectly sculpted figure, without considering extra factors, Chen Hanyu's appearance is irresistible to him.
Everyone appreciates beauty.
Things beautiful to a certain extent can always bring joy to people.
But right now, he obviously didn't want to spend precious initial "operating" ti satisfying low-level physiological urges.
His situation is even more peculiar than during his school years, truly a "cold and bold scholar."
"Mr. Ren." Chen Hanyu seed to be hesitating.
Unexpectedly, even the always quiet and reserved ice-cold woman had uneasy monts, causing Ren Zhong's sense of crisis to sharply rise.
About to shatter illusions.
Ren Zhong: "What?"
"I first heard from Wen Lei that you lent him 20 Contribution Points for a shield, right?"
"Yes. What's the matter?"
"Your generosity sotis makes you seem too naive. I don't know where you're from. But I believe the task you've gotten doesn't require you to stay in Starfire Town long. Zheng Tian is very ambitious, but can be overly eager to make achievents. I hope Mr. Ren, you can soon, um, return to your original position."
Ren Zhong was taken aback, "Um?"
Analysis mode activated.
There are many details in Chen Hanyu's words.
Ren Zhong's reasoning yielded many possibilities.
First, Chen Hanyu and Zheng Tian are intimate. She's jealous, hence trying to make soone leave.
Second, due to buying grenades and lending money, he showed buying power completely different from the townsfolk, essentially revealing his wealth. Chen Hanyu might be hinting that even if he has a background, if the gains are enough and without residual risks, Zheng Tian could take reckless chances.
Third, Chen Hanyu knew there were indeed issues with Zheng Tian, she wants to protect Wen Lei.
Fourth, she further overestimated his background, knowing he's beyond Zheng Tian's reach, aiming to protect Zheng Tian, lest she exhaust all sches only to gain nothing, getting entangled in higher-level dangers instead.
Ren Zhong hoped it was at least one of the latter three possibilities, aning there'd be another person with certain goodwill in the world.
He finally just smiled, speaking both sincerely and insincerely: "You're overthinking."
...
The second night, ten o'clock, intensive sleep chamber.
Clearly only seeing the dual moons for the first ti on this world's second day, yet Ren Zhong felt as though much ti had passed.
Before closing his eyes and falling deeply asleep, he silently thought.
From awakening till now, it's actually only been 30 hours, but he has transford from a "completely illiterate" newcor into a rising star chanical Warrior.
From knowing nothing about this world to now thriving in it.
I truly am a genius.
