Because Wen Lei was not injured, history was rewritten.
Zheng Tian decided to take 20 Contribution Points from public funds to replace Wen Lei’s shield with a brand new one.
Actually, the team took a loss in this matter, after all, Wen Lei’s shield was damaged in the battle with the Blade Mantis, and Ren Zhong took the majority of the damage costs.
But since no one ntioned it, he didn’t plan to compensate the others either.
After all, the idea that one must put themselves first seems to be the true principle of this world.
Additionally, this also proves that Zheng Tian hadn’t learned about the Thunderbolt Car at this point, otherwise Wen Lei would have to pay out of his own pocket.
The incident with the Thunderbolt Car was supposed to happen near noon today; Ren Zhong speculated it was the butterfly effect caused by his change of plans, disrupting the team’s return ti to the town.
After splitting the earnings, Ren Zhong temporarily parted from the others and went straight to the chanical Warrior training ground by himself.
Although he was not equipped, he was now a seasoned Trainer and could complete the training on his own.
He scanned his face at Ju Qingng to get two servings of nutritious als, put on the Enhanced Training Armor, asured the paraters, and then started training.
The data after training was as follows.
The carrying power, after nearly a day, had increased from 1 kilowatt to 2.5 kilowatts.
The Brain Reaction Index had risen to 41.3.
The Physical Comprehensive Index had increased from the initial value of 5.3 to 6.9.
The rate of increase speeded up; this should be attributed to the Human Cell Activation Enhancer.
The free-to-use Krypton Gold Warrior was indeed extraordinary.
After a strenuous four-hour workout, Wen Lei arrived punctually as agreed, to act as a porter, carrying people.
When eting, Wen Lei was shocked to see Ren Zhong looking so exhausted.
On the way, Wen Lei curiously asked Ren Zhong about his training insights and parater improvent status.
After getting the answer, Wen Lei’s mind buzzed all the way.
In the group sleeping pod, others were not asleep yet, but were gathered in the room, heatedly discussing.
They were discussing the Thunderbolt Car.
The tiline had converged.
Although the team had a big harvest yesterday, the biggest beneficiary was Ren Zhong. The public funds of the team did not increase much; after replacing Wen Lei’s shield, it even dropped below 600, still short by more than ten points.
No one let Ren Zhong participate in the fund-raising; he was still a temporary mber, and fund-raising to buy a car didn’t concern him, nor would he agree to it, and Zheng Tian didn’t plan to ask him either.
"Unfortunately, we’re not Citizens, so we cannot get a loan. Borrowing money from soone is also an enormous hassle. But I’ve already spoken to soone, and the seller will hold it for us, so we’re not in a hurry. We’ll go out again tomorrow, put all the money we get into the public fund, and it should be enough."
Finally, Zheng Tian arranged it this way.
There was no objection from others.
This decision exposed sothing; actually, buying the car was not so urgent, and the relatively expensive Thunderbolt Car was not as much in demand as Zheng Tian claid.
She said that last ti as an excuse to trick Wen Lei into paying out of his own pocket to fix equipnt and injuries.
Ren Zhong considered for a mont and decided to join the action the next day.
He had a complete plan.
Due to the effectiveness of the Cell Activity Enhancer, starting from tomorrow, after his cancer is completely cured, his various paraters would enter a period of rapid growth.
Then it is ti for him to gain the fighting power of a First Level Warrior and participate in actual combat.
Relying solely on tagging along with Zheng Tian’s team inco saved little by little, who knows how long it would take to save enough of the 1000 points needed to enter the stock market.
Having fighting power is the foundation for further prosperity and wealth.
When he possesses the capability to hunt alone, then at night, when everyone is fast asleep, the outskirts of Starfire Town will be his domain.
He now knows that the real danger at night cos not only from the Ruined Beasts but also from highly restful sleep.
The true strong ones accumulate wealth while others sleep.
In the last resurrection, he noted down all the points from two opportunities to hunt, turning them into lucrative mining areas.
He knows the routes, knows what Ruined Beasts will be encountered along the way, and has what kind of abilities.
He will use his "Prophetic foresight" to turn the perilous grounds where others need to tread carefully into his own backyard for growing crops.
Ti flew, and soon it was 9:30 PM on the fifth night.
By that ti, all of Ren Zhong’s paraters already surpassed the standard of a First Level chanical Warrior.
After three consecutive days of hunting, even if he squandered money in the interdiate district every day, his wealth still hadn’t dropped below 100, and he had 117.12 left in hand.
The team finally bought the Thunderbolt Car on the fourth night, and then on the fifth day, at Ren Zhong’s insistence, the team deliberately delayed their departure by half an hour.
After everyone left, Zheng Tian practiced driving for half an hour at the parking lot before leaving, choosing another route. After a day of exploration, the team had quite a harvest, with an average gain of 11.2 points each.
Everything was going smoothly, but Ren Zhong still had regrets.
After tonight, the stock market guide he jotted down would expire, but not to ntion entering the stock market, he still couldn’t afford even the most basic First Level Armor.
The pace of making money was still too slow!
But he was not discouraged.
Calculating with his fingers, his initial wealth value after resurrection had already increased to a full 10 points.
Maybe soday in the future, he’ll start as a millionaire; just thinking about it brings a small sense of anticipation...
He wasn’t sure if he should feel excited or frustrated.
Those monster-farming routes stored in his mind are also the starting point of rapid asset growth.
In any case, his snowball was growing bigger and bigger.
He was like a spring; every death only brought him closer to his eventual takeoff.
...
"Ren, this Thunderbolt Car of ours is really aweso. I’ve been thinking all day today that although the harvest was good, it still feels like it’s not enough. I’ve planned a good spot for tomorrow..."
In the room of the group sleeping pod, since there were other hunting teams present, Zheng Tian sat at the edge of Ren Zhong’s bed before sleeping, whispering in his ear.
Ren Zhong frowned.
The critical sixth day had co again.
"Are you talking about Rat Cliff Mountain?"
He leaned in and whispered back into Zheng Tian’s ear.
"Yes. Looks like we both thought of the sa thing."
Ren Zhong shook his head, "Not a good idea. Bei Lihui and his gang didn’t bother us today because we were operating on a different tiline; they didn’t know we got the Thunderbolt Car. But I don’t believe they won’t find out tomorrow. Do you know what will happen?"
Zheng Tian nodded, "Of course I know. But it doesn’t matter; once we enter Rat Cliff Mountain, even if we give them half, we still have a lot to gain. Moreover, this is the rule of the town, unavoidable."
Seeing her straightforward look, Ren Zhong knew she was already ntally prepared for being held hostage before changing cars.
She lived both cunningly and desensitized.
Ren Zhong sighed inwardly, wanting to say sothing but held back.
Zheng Tian, who was extrely good at reading people, keenly sensed his displeasure, "But we can delay for a day; tomorrow, we’ll choose a more distant, secluded place. We can go to Rat Cliff Mountain when the opportunity is more suitable."
"That works too."
...
Ren Zhong didn’t expect that even though he had changed the ti and place completely, he still couldn’t escape being fleeced.
Bei Lihui seed like a bone tumor, sticking persistently to Zheng Tian’s squad.
At noon on the sixth day, Bei Lihui showed up again on his jet ski.
Fortunately, in the morning, the team had an average harvest, only getting six First Level Ruined Beasts and Bei Lihui took three Crystal Chips as the encounter tax for the day.
This ti, Ren Zhong controlled his emotions well, revealing no flaws whatsoever.
This ti, it was Zheng Tian who got scolded, "When leaving this morning, the boss noticed you seed to be deliberately avoiding us. Do yourself a favor, and let there be no next ti. As long as you want to live in Starfire Town, don’t even think about escaping from the palm of the boss’s hand, understand?"
Zheng Tian kept her head low and replied humbly, "Brother Hui, you’ve misunderstood. I really didn’t an that."
"Alright, as long as you understand in your heart."
Bei Lihui left arrogantly.
Once he was gone, Zheng Tian returned to the car, shrugged at everyone, and then looked at Ren Zhong, who showed no emotion.
She sincerely hoped Ren Zhong would record a note on Bei Lihui in his Pu Cha Officer notebook.
Although they suffered misfortune at noon, unexpectedly a door opened after God closed a window.
In the afternoon, the team had a stroke of luck and made consecutive gains.
After exhausting their ammunition and bombs to the safety baseline where they had to return, the team ended up taking down 3 Second Level Ruined Beasts and 24 First Level Ruined Beasts.
In total, the inco was as high as 156 points, deducting costs of 16 points, leaving 140 points of pure profit.
Ren Zhong received 24 points, increasing his wealth balance to 142.12, just a step away from purchasing a complete set of First Level Armor.
When selling goods at the Resource Recycling Company, Zheng Tian’s mouth was almost permanently in a smile.
...
After bidding farewell to the others, Ren Zhong headed to the training ground again, but this ti he chose the cheaper primary zone instead of the interdiate zone.
Now his parater states were as follows:
Carrying power: 13.2 kilowatts.
Brain Reaction Index: 51.2.
Physical Comprehensive Index: 15.9.
At this ti, his Brain Reaction Index had severely exceeded the norm, reaching the standard of a Second Level chanical Warrior.
The bucket effect had appeared.
Other areas lagged far behind, dragging down the improvent of the Brain Reaction Index.
During training the day before yesterday, when the Brain Reaction Index exceeded 50, the increase drastically slowed.
Yesterday, Ren Zhong tried once more, and completely abandoned hope.
Thus, he no longer needed to synchronously improve the two indices in the interdiate zone, but just practiced physical fitness in the primary zone.
Also, when sparring with AI robots wearing Enhanced Training Armor, he had already turned off the amplifier and was fighting back and forth, having completely reached the First Level Warrior standard.
The current he hadn’t yet made a real move, but his skill proficiency had also exceeded the norm.
