Sitting across from him, Ju Qingng had long finished her work and asked with a smile, "Is it good?"
"Delicious, I think it's better than what the robots make."
"Thank you for the complint."
"I should be the one thanking you."
"Then... if you like, shall I make it for you often in the future?"
"Sure. But although the Red Blade Armor no longer needs your improvents, the equipnt of others in town still relies heavily on you."
"Don't worry. It doesn't take much effort. I just haven't gone for a professional capability assessnt, but I suspect I'm now capable of handling traditional Fifth Level exoskeleton modifications as a Fifth Level chanic."
"You work hard."
"It's alright, you're the one who works harder."
"You're still the one working harder."
Ju Qingng: "Can we stop doing this? Actually, we're both quite happy, aren't we?"
Ren Zhong was taken aback, "Yes. Hahaha!"
Ju Qingng: "Hahaha!"
Nothing happened last night, but subtle changes were quietly brewing.
It seems Ju Qingng thought it over all night, and she's finally beginning to understand Ren Zhong a bit better.
He said there's no need to express gratitude in that way.
He didn't like desire that had a motive behind it.
That's the reason for her rejection.
Lin Wang's initial evaluation of Ren Zhong was sowhat accurate, he really is soone who believes in love.
Ju Qingng even felt a bit regretful. If she hadn't made an overly clumsy excuse to cover her modesty and was instead brave enough to confess her feelings, how great that would have been.
But there is still ti, we have plenty of it.
She also had no intention of asking what happened between Ren Zhong and Xiao Xingyue last night.
That had no aning.
She knew it was impossible and wouldn't be jealous.
By noon, the two returned to Starfire Town.
Along the way, Ju Qingng brought up the 170 million.
She said, "Now the whole Source Star knows I'm your lover, so I'll keep this money. You don't mind, right?"
"Of course not!" Ren Zhong nodded first, then shook his head, "But actually, I don't like the term lover."
Ju Qingng: "Why? But if it's just a friend, that doesn't quite cut it."
Ren Zhong grinned, "I thought of a word that might seem a bit childish."
"What is it?"
"Partner."
Ju Qingng covered her mouth and giggled, "It is a bit childish. How about... we call it a companion?"
"Hmm."
"A lifelong companion?"
Ren Zhong: "Hmm."
Ju Qingng said nothing more, just nodded and then turned her face to look out the window.
Her face was very red, all the way to her ears.
Her heart was racing.
She finally knew, this was love.
Ren's strategy plan, progress 1%.
After returning to town and waiting for about half an hour, a dium-sized airship flew in from the direction of Chongyi County, carrying Ju Qingng's parents.
Before Ju Qingng's parents departed, Ren Zhong and Ju Qingng had a brief communication with them.
He was a bit surprised.
These two legally retired individuals were forcibly recalled by Tianyuan Military Industry, although partly due to so underhanded tactics by Wang Jinsou, yet the two weren't ordinary people themselves.
In fact, when they were young, they were only First Level citizens.
They were the "golden couple" in Chongyi County's high school, whose fate was fraught with hardship but never gave up.
With perseverance, determination, and talent, they beca Fifth Level chanics and shone in their roles, eventually both progressing to the high status of Third Level Citizens.
Ju Qingng's abilities co from both genetic inheritance and family heritage.
Compared to the painful forced labor in Chongyi County, the two had already decided before departure to shine and thrive once more in the dreamland where their daughter Ju Qingng also pinned her hopes.
The two would also join Ren Zhong's Armored Laboratory and beco chanics in Starfire Town.
Ren Zhong practically gained two expert-level talents for nothing.
Therefore, he originally wanted to go to greet them, but Sun Miao had an unexpected situation, and he was called to the Biological Laboratory.
In the basent, a dodecahedron-shaped Demon Infant Crystal Core was placed inside a transparent tank filled with protective liquid.
At this mont, the interface cover on the crystal core had been opened.
A thick data cable extended down from above the tank, plunged into the liquid, and connected to the data interface under the crystal core cover.
The other end of the data cable was directly linked to the information center of the Molecular Regeneration Device.
Three emaciated n sat in unison on three single stools, staring straight ahead.
In front of the three was a giant three-dinsional projection screen.
