Chapter 112: Chapter 73 Mr. Ren, you’re too fast!_2

But now he knows that for the lower class wastelanders trying to survive in Starfire Town, everyone has their own reasons for doing what they have to do.

Human values are all built on the objective facts created by the social background.

Although Zheng Tian is extremely utilitarian, her character hasn’t broken to an irredeemable degree, so Ren Zhong quietly forgave her and gave her one more chance.

However, if she acts like yesterday again, where a small mishap has Wen Lei staying behind while she takes everyone else on the vehicle,

and the vehicle has already driven off quite a distance before suddenly recalling Wen Lei’s "added value" and hurriedly turning back to take the risk of rescuing him,

should situations like this happen once more, Zheng Tian would be mercilessly abandoned by Ren Zhong first and foremost.

This is his final warning.

Zheng Tian lowered her head, "Okay, Mr. Ren, I understand. I... I’m sorry."

Ren Zhong shook his head, "Saying sorry to me means nothing."

Wen Lei, standing beside them, listened throughout, the shadow and disappointment in his eyes flashed briefly, but soon he scratched his head sheepishly, "Well, I’m alive and well, aren’t I? How can hunting not have any surprises? It’s alright!"

Ren Zhong rolled his eyes.

Hopeless case.

At a quarter past six in the morning, the group arrived at the mall.

It wasn’t yet working hours, with the mall doors tightly shut.

Ren Zhong didn’t say anything, just waited outside with everyone else.

Ou Youning squatted on the steps, gnawing on a chunk of synthetic spiced meat, grumbling miserably, "Sigh, we have to wait till seven... uh, I reckon."

Ou Youning hadn’t finished speaking when a beetle-shaped red hover car rounded the corner of the street, swerved magnificently, and swiftly stopped beside the group.

The car window rolled down, and Ju Qingmeng, with her hair still wet and wearing casual clothes, stuck her head out, "Ren Zhong, give me a minute. Let me park the car first. I’ll be right over."

Ren Zhong gave an OK gesture, "Yeah, make it quick."

Ju Qingmeng: "Got it!"

The piece of meat in Ou Youning’s hand fell to the ground with a thud.

People’s highs and lows in emotions are entirely different, damn it!

There’s still over forty minutes until working hours, damn it!

Those two are even calling each other by name, damn it!

Ju Manager, you are the noble mall manager, at least a Second Level Citizen, how can you urge the wastelanders and then say ’Got it’!

You weren’t like this with me before.

You’ve changed.

...

Over thirty minutes later, the group briskly walked out of the mall doors.

By this time, Wen Lei’s armor had been fully repaired, with even the parts that couldn’t be perfectly fixed already replaced.

The barrel and firing pin of Zheng Tian’s big gun had been entirely replaced and recalibrated for shooting.

Ou Youning, upon Ren Zhong’s specific request, purchased two Thermal Absorption Bombs, each costing 10 points, with public funds.

The Thermal Absorption Bomb can create a super low temperature within a five-meter diameter body of water and complete a five-meter freeze in an extremely short time as a special hand grenade.

The one with the most equipment changes was Ren Zhong.

Ju Qingmeng took him to her personal small laboratory, where she modified Ren Zhong’s basic armor with four transformations at true cost price without artisanal fees.

Two special devices, including an amplifier, were added.

The amplifier was still a "scrap part," actually eighty percent new, forcibly scrapped, only counted for 10 points.

The other three devices improved investigative ability with an advanced scanner, enhanced torso stability with a Flexible Metal Transmission Chain, and a double-shouldered, short-range small cannon capable of firing a total of eight Thumb Grenades.

The charge for these three items was 120 points.

On the surface, Ren Zhong’s exoskeleton appeared no different from a regular Balanced First Level Exoskeleton, but its overall combat performance had significantly elevated.

If not for not wanting to cause Ju Qingmeng trouble and only having 17.78 points left in his pocket, Ren Zhong truly wanted to get the Second Level weapon, a heavy Arc Light Saber, valued at 200 points.

"Let’s go! Move out!"

Zheng Tian: "Where are we going?"

"To the dense forest where you found me. I have a few old friends over there."

Zheng Tian: "Uh... huh? As far as I know, although there are a few First Level Ruined Beasts around that forest, like the Crystal Winged Dragonfly you killed barehanded. But actually, it’s mostly Second Level Ruined Beasts around there, with very peculiar abilities that are hard to deal with."

Ren Zhong turned back with a smile, "Indeed hard to deal with, but that was only for the old me."

When venturing out, one often misses home.

When Ren Zhong first started, he often received "care" from various Ruined Beasts near the dense forest.

Those fierce guys enthusiastically gave him warm greetings, allowing him to quickly grasp the local customs and practices of this world.

Now Ren Zhong had achieved some success outside, it was time to return with fansfare, gloriously revisiting those fellow townsmen who loved him 136 times over.

Dr. Ren, well-versed in the basic Ruined Beasts database, basically recognized most of the old friends’ names.

Some of the old friends were too powerful to trouble anew, a matter for next time.

The first good old friend Ren Zhong chose was the metallic fish species lurking in the puddle, having let him smell the aroma of barbecued meat several times but never getting a taste.

These metallic fish are scientifically named Translucent Electric Eels and are Second Level Ruined Beasts.

They are extremely cunning and only reveal their silvery bodies when continuously releasing millions of volts of high current.

At usual times, their bodies are completely invisible to the naked eye.

Whenever Ren Zhong saw them, they were nearly cooked.

Conventional close combat can’t do much.

One strike down, the Translucent Electric Eel remains fine, the person is cooked first.

As for long-range shooting, it bears little significance either.

Its transparent form isn’t merely transparency but the body truly blended with liquid, even if a bullet passes through, it still hops around lively.

Similarly, ordinary bomb explosions are also of similar ineffectiveness.

There’s only one way to handle it cleverly, freezing it in a very short time, then peeling frozen fish.

...

At 7:03 in the morning, the distant blue sun had just peeped out.

Sunshine slanted on people, still emitting a chill, and dew drops still clung to the tips of grass and leaves.

With her head buzzing, Zheng Tian looked at the cargo truck trailer.

The trailer was empty, yet her heart was filled with intense self-doubt and abundant joy of harvest.

She held a thermal box with two foot-long, entirely silver-white frozen fish lying peacefully inside.

They were well taken care of, having had their skulls opened, with the crystal chip inside perfectly removed by Chen Hanyu.

The two Translucent Electric Eels, with their carcasses and crystal chips combined, were worth 60 points in total.

Zheng Tian rubbed her forehead, feeling dreamy.

From leaving until now, it’s only been fifteen minutes, no serious battles yet, and it’s already 60 points?

Mr. Ren, you are too fast!

What happened to the promised high-intensity continuous battles?

Is this the power of hunting with brains he talked about?

Doesn’t that mean I have no brains?

Ah, this...

A strong tide of inferiority washed over, causing Zheng Tian to seriously question all the achievements in her nineteen-year-long life and all the pride formed within.

She didn’t understand why, as fellow humans, the gap was so large.
