Day six, morning.
Ren Zhong’s long journey has finally taken six steps forward.
He’s survived to the sixth day.
Small town parking lot.
Zheng Tian’s team, now refreshed and ready, was all set to embark.
Thanks to Wen Lei’s fluctuating injuries which "held them back," the team had an extra day of rest beyond the original schedule. Ren Zhong finally got to spend four stable days in this world where there’s no certainty about tomorrow.
At this point, his carrying power had increased to 12.2 kilowatts.
His brain reaction index reached 34.7.
His physical comprehensive index, which had been a shortcoming, had swiftly soared to 14.3, surpassing the peak state he once had when dominating the park’s ping pong tables in his previous life.
It only took five days from the start of training to regaining his six-pack abs, an advancent truly astonishing, sothing that would definitely be considered a dical miracle back in the 21st century.
Is Ren Zhong exceptionally talented?
Absolutely.
But it’s also the power of burning money.
His personal wealth had rapidly shrunk from 82.52 on the third day to 4.52, just a step away from bankruptcy.
On the fourth day, due to Wen Lei’s injuries becoming inflad, Ren Zhong took him to Miracle Clinic after their noon training session again.
Although Sun Miao, who had long been annoyed by Ren Zhong, was highly impatient, it seed the cancer cell experints required too much secrecy. The last thing he wanted was a leak, so in the end, he begrudgingly gave in.
While changing Wen Lei’s dication for free, Sun Miao looked at Ren Zhong, who was so exhausted that he seed out of this world, pretending to care about the patient’s recovery and casually asking how he was doing.
Ren Zhong didn’t have the energy to respond, but Wen Lei honestly answered: "Brother Ren wants to beco a cha Warrior, so his training is really intense. This morning, we trained for four hours straight in the interdiate area of the training ground and got quite exhausted. The results are great, but it’s costly, costing another 10 Contribution Points."
Sun Miao’s mouth twitched.
Damn it! That’s my money!
His doctor’s instincts almost made him speak up, but he suddenly realized sothing and quickly shut his mouth.
Seizing the opportunity, Ren Zhong noticed the hints and found the bright spot, imdiately following up.
"Brother Sun, do you have a way?"
Sun Miao: "I don’t! I have nothing! Don’t let your mind wander!"
"Brother Sun, I’ll pay this ti."
"But that’s still my money!"
"Not entirely. Wen Lei got his injuries when we took down a Bladed Mantis the day before. That earned us a nice sum."
"Third Level Bladed Mantis?"
"That’s right."
"Impressive."
"Not bad."
In the end, Sun Miao got Ren Zhong an injection called Human Cell Activation Enhancer, a valuable item priced at 50 points, it can accelerate human cell growth and division multiplication. Similar to growth hormone, but more comprehensive, it further enhances the effects of physical training and provides long-term benefits, capable of accelerating improvent to a physical comprehensive index of 20~30, making it an ideal foundation product.
Of course, this is not sothing ordinary scavengers can enjoy. In the town, it’s usually only the formal citizens living in the inner city villa community who can afford such a boost when they first step onto the warrior path.
After receiving this injection, Ren Zhong’s physical enhancent efficiency took a massive leap, but his wallet visibly thinned.
Sun Miao, who had long been frustrated with him, found so relief, finally making so gains from this guy, albeit feeling sorry for himself for three seconds.
On the fourth and fifth days, Ren Zhong went twice to the interdiate area of the training ground each day, losing another 20 points.
However, it wasn’t without gain. Each ti, he managed to get an extra two portions of high-absorption nutritional als by swiping his face with Ju Qingng.
Such is the effect of spending money lavishly, allowing him to reach and exceed the comprehensive standards of a First Level warrior in all aspects within three days.
Regrettably, he’s nearly penniless at this mont, so he can’t buy any equipnt.
Still, on the evening of the fifth day, Wen Lei wandered like a ghost for nearly three hours at a junkyard just outside the small town, and managed to patch together an exoskeleton chanical arm with a red left hand and a blue right hand, differing in thickness and having a unique design for him.
Even though there’s no full-body armor, these things couldn’t transfer mass, making them heavy and cumberso to wear without offering overall cushioning, putting a lot of pressure on the body. Additionally, due to damaged crystal chips, there exists a huge delay defect in actual combat, but at least Ren Zhong sowhat resembles JOE from "GALO BOX."
After putting them on, he could punch a dent over two centiters deep in the wall.
It’s just that Newton’s third law sent him flying slightly far backwards.
Last night, after a simple punch test, Ren Zhong felt so emotion in his heart.
No matter what, in just five days after resurrection, he managed to transform from a dying patient into a newly-fledged cha Warrior. Such progress has already surpassed 99.99% of the scavengers in Starfire Town.
His wallet is about to be emptied, but tomorrow, he must go out and earn more money to gather enough initial funds to open an account in the stock market.
Contribution Points!
During these three days, besides intense training, Ren Zhong wasn’t idle.
He spent plenty of ti and effort researching the stock market.
His research thod was unique, ignoring K-lines, fundantal factors, and news.
He didn’t care about anything but just looked at the fluctuations of individual stock prices from the day of his resurrection to the current day, focusing on those that have skyrocketed recently, known as collecting Demon Stocks.
The stock market has many ways to play and is very complex, incredibly deep.
But for a newcor like Ren Zhong with no original capital, the simplest, most carefree, and worry-free approach is to follow Demon Stocks.
He didn’t need to concern himself with what the major players want to do or how capital is fighting each other. He just had to rember which stocks shot up the most fiercely during a specific period.
At this mont, he’s utterly broke, holding a trivial sum of money and trying to fish in muddy waters, drinking so of the remaining scraps, and no one would notice, quite safe.
Before falling asleep, Ren Zhong thought silently.
In this world, I will not remain stagnant. I chose to rise in resistance. Starting tomorrow, I want the Ruined Beasts near Starfire Town to feel the pain.
...
"Although Brother Ren, you now have so combat capabilities, you still have to be careful today. Stay in the car with Hanyu."
Thinking Ren Zhong was just experiencing life, Zheng Tian instructed as he was about to get into the car.
Ren Zhong nodded honestly, "Okay."
Zheng Tian boasted, "We finally switched cars; let’s do a good job today and try to earn more."
Ren Zhong: "Haha! Of course, I’ll also put in the effort."
Even though the road ahead is an "unknown," his understanding of Ruined Beasts had already significantly improved.
Moreover, he had done sothing else, which was to focus on breaking down information related to First Level and Second Level Ruined Beasts, the most abundant around Starfire Town, based on his exchanges with Zheng Tian and others, and recorded it all in his personal device, which is a dismantled piece of a frozen storage auxiliary onboard computer.
Although this gadget is an antique, it’s quite handy for inputting and quickly searching for information.
He’s now a walking half-dictionary.
In theory, this function should also be available on his Wrist watch, and should be done better, but Ren Zhong did not find it, as if the manufacturer intended to deliberately increase the risks of scavenger hunts.
A similar case applies to vehicle-mounted brains, providing only very basic information; instead, Ren Zhong’s antique beca the best combat information command platform.
The others were curious about his antique computer, but unless he ntioned it himself, no one else would ask more.
Perhaps this is what sets a big character like a Pu Cha officer apart from the rest.
Everyone got in the car, Ren Zhong patted the shoulder armor of Wen Lei, who was lying beneath as a seat, "No problem, right?"
Because the Thunderbolt Car passenger cabin is much smaller than a box truck, Wen Lei, fully clad in heavy armor, couldn’t fit in the front passenger seat with the lowered ceiling.
Everyone had to dismantle the rear seats, and have Wen Lei lie in like a cocoon, then Ren Zhong, Ou Youning, and Bai Feng sat on him.
The front passenger seat was occupied by Chen Hanyu.
At first, Zheng Tian intended for Ren Zhong to sit in the front passenger seat, but Ren Zhong refused.
The Thunderbolt Car engine roared to life.
Vroom!
Zheng Tian shouted, "Let’s go!"
The blasting rock music in the cabin thumped once more.
Even though Ren Zhong felt it was a bit noisy, he couldn’t help but be swayed by the emotions, gradually igniting a burning ambition in his heart.
He clenched his fists.
Let’s get to work today!
At the very least, earn back tomorrow’s training fee!
...
Afternoon, fourteen past fourteen seconds, 14:14:14.
Died.
"Tomorrow’s" training fee was earned back in another way.
