Chapter 144: Chapter 85: On the Thirtieth Day, a Standout Warrior Re-emerges in the Martial World

Ren Zhong practiced in the Second Level Virtual Reality for less than six hours and got up at 4:40 in the morning.

Even though he didn’t complete the full training time, the training fee still had to be paid in full at 40 points.

Yesterday, including buying the Wrist watch, purchasing "Sid Meier’s Armored Insights" for the second time, modifying equipment, and repaying Sun Miao, he spent over 23,000 points in total, so these 40 points didn’t matter much.

It’s worth it to become stronger more quickly.

At five o’clock the next morning, Ren Zhong waited on his motorcycle below the sleeping pod building for Chen Hanyu and Yujin.

The plan changed again, so the three had to ride together to the parking lot.

Ren Zhong let Yujin sit at the back, with half of him hanging off the motorcycle, then had Chen Hanyu sit forward in his embrace, half sitting on the seat and half pressing on the battery compartment in front.

The battery compartment’s surface was quite smooth, but fortunately, she was secured by Ren Zhong’s arms on either side, preventing her from sliding off.

There was no intimate scene in the embrace, mainly because Ren Zhong’s Second Level Exoskeleton was too thick; Chen Hanyu didn’t feel the embrace, as if she were sitting in the cockpit of a Spider Tank.

However, this morning, Chen Hanyu and Yujin were undoubtedly happy.

During a mere hour of morning exercise, armed with brand-new equipment, Ren Zhong completely changed his usual combat style, which was both steady and bold, focusing instead on pure audacity, fighting with bold and open techniques.

When encountering a lone Second Level Ruined Beast, he didn’t bother to use restraining equipment; as long as the Energy Level Index was below 100, he rushed in with his saber without a second thought.

He didn’t even activate the amplifier, relying on an output power below 70 kilowatts, the sturdiness of the custom armor, and the sharpness of the modified Arc Light Saber, wielding his increasingly refined combat skills, exploiting only slightly the known weaknesses of the Ruined Beasts to cut them down.

When facing paired Second Level Ruined Beasts, he would have Yujin use restraining ammunition first to inflict damage, then rush in with his saber to take on both.

As for facing Third Level Ruined Beasts with an Energy Level Index exceeding 300, Ren Zhong adopted an alternative strategy, using the amplifier and preset program features to avoid the drawbacks of high latency, achieving a "critical strike" with an actual carrying power of 65.1 kilowatts, delivering an output power as high as 600 kilowatts.

In less than an hour of high-intensity hunting, the Night Squad eliminated a total of 4 Third Level Ruined Beasts and 5 Second Level Ruined Beasts.

As for First Level ones, he couldn’t be bothered anymore.

Calculated comprehensively, even selling as a freelancer account, the Night Squad could recover 650 points, with Ren Zhong taking 572, Chen Hanyu 65, and Yujin earning 13 points.

...

In the parking lot, aside from Chen Hanyu, everyone in Zheng Tian’s team stood dumbfounded in front of the Thunderbolt Car, exchanging looks, speechless with emotion.

Ou Youning: "Brother, did you buy this car?"

Bai Feng didn’t say anything.

Zheng Tian looked at Ren Zhong, full of reproachful gaze.

She wanted to say something, but found herself at a loss for words.

This car was bought by Ren Zhong with his own money, and whether or not to tell others was his decision.

Though that was the logic, Zheng Tian recalled the scene when Ren Zhong, knowing everything, yet comforted everyone insincerely, saying losing the Thunderbolt Car wasn’t the end of the world.

Zheng Tian really didn’t expect that Mr. Ren, with his serious demeanor, would have such a mischievous side.

While everyone was embarrassed, Wen Lei was the first to step forward and said, "Mr. Ren must have his reasoning for such an arrangement, right?"

Ren Zhong nodded slightly, neither explaining nor denying.

Because he felt that their relationship had reached this point, having given earlier hints, there was no need to elaborate on everything; it would just waste words.

After the incident at yesterday’s dinner party, Ren Zhong unleashed professional acting skills he hadn’t experienced in lifetimes, briefly alleviating external pressures, and finally reverting to his true self—a high-cold scholar demon.

He was tired of pretending, and since his recent resurrection, he cared too much about analyzing the thoughts and psychological changes of those around him.

He wanted to return to being himself and take a break.

In this peculiar atmosphere, Chen Hanyu, who usually didn’t meddle in team matters, decided to step forward and express what she deduced were Ren Zhong’s good intentions when she first saw the Thunderbolt Car a few days ago.

Everyone, after hearing her, found it reasonable.

Apparently, where others couldn’t see, everything had been arranged by him.

Everyone felt a silent admiration in their hearts for how considerate Brother Ren was.

Zheng Tian, feeling touched, said with slight embarrassment, "Mr. Ren, compared to you, I really failed my duty as a team leader. These things, I should have been helping you plan as well. Thank you for your hard work."
