Chapter 200: Chapter 102: The Retribution of Coos_3

Ren Zhong’s face lit up with joy, tears of gratitude streaming down, "This... I’m so grateful, Captain Lin! How could I ever repay you!"

Lin Wang: "No need to be polite, just follow me. One day, you’ll definitely be able to return to the city."

Ren Zhong’s hands still trembled with excitement, "Thank you so much, thank you so much!"

"No problem. Ren Zhong, you’re smart and talented. What I said yesterday about having faith in you wasn’t just pleasantry. Now, I’ve already considered you as my reserve team member. Once you reach the third level, you can join my team ahead of time."

"Yeah!"

At 6:50, Ren Zhong left with the tea that Pan Fenglian gave him, right on time.

Once he left, under the admiring gaze of Bei Lihui and others, Lin Wang resumed his routine operations and meticulous analysis.

Finally, Lin Wang concluded that Ren Zhong was not only usable but also highly effective.

Ren Zhong rode his bike back to his apartment and called Yujin out, handing him a packet of tea, "This pack of tea is good stuff sold at the supply and marketing co-op. Tear off the packaging, dump the tea into a plastic bag, and sell it at the flea market to traveling merchants. There will be discerning merchants who can offer at least 25 points."

Yujin accepted it honestly.

He no longer rejected Ren Zhong’s kindness; he couldn’t refuse even if he wanted.

"Including this morning’s earnings, how much savings do you have left?"

"There are 17 points, sir."

"Alright, once you sell the tea, go to the military weapon store to buy a first-level heavy sniper and also get a biochemical combat suit to start training. After you change your gear, don’t sit idle during the day, try hunting solo. I’ll lend you my motorcycle during the day. I believe you can do it."

"Uh, sir, the heavy sniper costs 80 points, and the combat suit is 40 points. I don’t have enough."

"No problem, just tell Manager Ju that you’re my friend, and you can get it on credit. I’ll cover the rest later. You can also pick the ammo you buy."

"Ah..."

"Don’t stand on ceremony with me. This is as much as I can help you; the rest of the journey you have to walk yourself. Go on."

"Alright, thank you, sir."

After bidding Yujin farewell, he went home to browse the internet casually, made a small trade, and unloaded two poor stocks that he was holding, successfully creating two green transaction records.

Amidst a sea of red, the two green dots were exceptionally pleasing to the eye.

He waited until 9:30 before heading out to meet Sun Miao again.

12,000 points were in hand.

Sun Miao went all out this time, even exceeding the financing target.

When they were parting, Sun Miao clasped Ren Zhong’s hand tightly, a stark departure from his usual gentle and easy-going demeanor, "Ren Zhong, this time I’m counting on you. All my capital is in this; if it fails, 20,000 wastelanders in Starfire Town won’t afford medical care."

Ren Zhong nodded sincerely, "Don’t worry, Brother Sun. Rest assured in my work. In this life, brothers, if it really comes to a loss, I’ll cover you even if I have to sell my blood."

"Okay!"

...

At 9:55, the Thunderbolt Car drove out of the high walls of Starfire Town.

He began high-intensity night hunting again.

Not for money, but to enhance combat strength.

Due to his brain reaction index being severely over the top, his shortcoming once again became physical fitness, making virtual reality training less cost-effective.

Training during the day was comfortable, and he could continue at night.

Besides, starting from the seventeenth night since the last resurrection, he had stopped the high-intensity night hunts.

It wasn’t because he couldn’t handle it; rather, the Ruined Beasts around Starfire Town couldn’t withstand his devastating hunts.

His intelligence database was exhausted.

Alone at night, he didn’t dare to venture into unknown places recklessly.

Although he had considerable strength now, encountering a third-level Ruined Beast without prior preparation, or a fourth-level Ruined Beast, would still spell his doom.

This time, things were different.

He had even been to the abandoned mines and had ample supplies.

Even though the interior of the mines was temporarily off-limits, he was well-acquainted with the first and second-level Ruined Beasts around the perimeter, ready to greet them one by one.

...

The seventeenth day, in the evening.

The team courtyard.

Everyone was satisfied with today’s haul; Ou Youning went to see an old acquaintance, Bai Feng went to supervise Ou Youning.

Wen Lei went to the training ground.

Zheng Tian went to the military weapon store.

In the courtyard, only Ren Zhong and Hanyu were left.

Last night, he clumsily dismantled a third-level Ruins Beast Crystal, and Ren Zhong resumed his humble quest for knowledge.

But tonight, his real intention was to inquire about Hanyu’s background.

In the previous timeline, he had his suspicions but never spoke of it.

This time, Ren Zhong had absolute confidence that he could last at least 45 days, so he had to consider the next steps in advance.

Therefore, Hanyu’s matter should be clarified, so it won’t affect the subsequent decisions.

Ren Zhong asked Hanyu to put down the tablet, and his expression turned solemn, "Hanyu, I’d like to talk to you about something."

"Oh, Mr. Ren, please go ahead."

The sudden seriousness made Hanyu a bit nervous.

"The other day, you told me a lot. I have a rough idea of your story. I believe you also know what kind of person I am. Now, I am giving you a clear promise. No matter who your enemy is, as long as they’ve done wrong, I will help you make them pay the price."

Hanyu lowered her head but didn’t immediately respond, only speaking in a low voice, "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Ren, but this is too difficult. Truly impossible. I’ll handle my own matters; don’t... don’t trouble yourself anymore. You’ve already helped me a lot."

Because Ren Zhong hadn’t yet led the group to kill a level-four Ruined Beast and become a professional captain, Hanyu’s understanding hadn’t fully reached the standard.

Ren Zhong was mentally prepared for this.

But the next moment, he directly confronted her, "Is it Yang Bingzhong?"

"What! How did you know!"

Hanyu was shocked.

Ren Zhong smiled, "Things I want to know, I will know. People I want to kill, I can kill. Promises I make, I will keep."

Hanyu stared at him blankly.

Ren Zhong’s bizarre confidence made her a bit dizzy.

After a while, she turned her face slightly away, "Alright, thank you."

Ren Zhong shrugged it off with a smile.

She still didn’t think she could do it.

But it didn’t matter; he just needed an answer.

"Alright, let’s not talk about this. You continue teaching me about Demolition Master knowledge. The proverbial journey of a thousand miles... The point is, things have to be done step by step. I don’t rule out the possibility that one day I will sign a professional team contract with Yang Bingzhong, but I hope you understand, that would only be a temporary measure."

"Okay."

Yang Bingzhong, ultimately, also needs to be gotten rid of somehow.

Otherwise, even if Starfire Resources are moved away and the town is saved, Yang Bingzhong might still pose a threat if he decides to make a comeback.

Yang was already a target for Ren Zhong, and now there’s just a stronger, clearer reason.
