Chapter 245: Chapter 116 Acquiring the Power of the Academic God, Ninth Rank [Thanks to the Alliance Hierarch for the reward!]_2

Besides, it also possesses a real-time underground communication method named Ghost Particle Communication. The communication delay and informational throughput are not inferior to the wrist watches on the surface, with extremely high stability, virtually never disconnecting or losing connection.

The durable casing of the Screw Rock Excavator also offers excellent protective capabilities, able to fully withstand the fierce attacks of a Level Four Ruined Beast.

Of course, it has its flaws, among which is the lack of any offensive weaponry; it is purely sturdy and durable.

Hunting Ruined Beasts still depends on the Professionals.

In all, the Screw Rock Excavator is very high-tech, evidently full of technological content, but frankly speaking, Ren Zhong is a bit disappointed.

This document takes the characteristics of a reference book to the extreme, mentioning not a single word about principles, entirely a fool-proof operation guide.

Ren Zhong learned it very easily, as if learning quadratic equations in primary school.

After learning these, Ren Zhong looked at the time—it was not yet five-thirty in the afternoon, not even an hour had passed.

According to Lin Wang’s instructions, the others were still resting at this time.

He could have taken the exam now and performed normally to get a full score.

He could, but it was unnecessary.

Yet Ren Zhong did not waste time; he focused his attention on the brief description of the Ghost Particle Communicator in the manual, pondering deeply, constantly speculating.

After seven in the evening, Ren Zhong got up and walked to the living room.

On the dining table were six food boxes, each marked with a name.

No doubt, Lin Wang’s box was the largest.

Ren Zhong took his box, returned to the bedroom, and finished eating in a few bites.

Then he lay down again, activated the functions of the wrist watch, and opened the third part of the manual, which mainly covered the management rules and regulations of new mining operations.

He focused his attention on the regulations governing the mining source stones.

In summary:

Because mining source stones are valuable, all mining workers can only receive Ruined Beast pouches when entering the excavator to start their daily work. Each time they finish mining, they must hand over the pouches immediately upon exiting the excavator.

And, after completing work each day, regardless of whether there are mining source stones in the submitted Ruined Beast pouches, everyone must walk through a high-sensitivity full-body scanner once to check if they secretly prepared Ruined Beast pouches attempting to steal mining source stones.

Under the high-sensitivity scan, even the boldest thief secretly carrying a Ruined Beast pouch is destined to have nowhere to hide.

The pouch can shield more than 99.999% of the radiation leakage from the mining source stones, always with slight leakage, usually undetectable by ordinary means, but not excluding the high-sensitivity scanner.

As for not using the pouch and putting it directly in the pants pocket?

That would be a fool’s errand leading to disaster. Not to mention the harm to the human body from prolonged radiation exposure from the mining source stones, the intensity of radiation, even if not walking through the scanner, would appear as a blazing bonfire in the dark forest in the eyes of the scanner’s detection methods, triggering an alarm from hundreds of meters away.

Moreover, without the protection of the pouch, the mining source stone will self-evaporate and dissipate like dry ice less than ten minutes after being removed from the production point.

With such security measures, under normal circumstances, it is absolutely impossible for anyone to brave enough to illicitly carry mining source stones.

On the entire Source Star, mining source stones smuggling incidents haven’t occurred in nearly ten years.

Even if someone had the intent and courage to steal, and were fully prepared, it mostly would not work.

Because in the process of new mining excavations, finding mining source stones is itself a small probability event, akin to winning five million in a lottery.

The true production period of mining source stones at the mine begins after all Ruined Beasts are cleared out, and the central station’s special technical methods suppress most of the births of Ruined Beasts, only entering normal extraction stages after several years.

After finishing all this, Ren Zhong silently glanced at his Third Level exoskeleton suit hanging on the rack, his gaze slipping over the suit’s breastplate, falling into deep thought.

His Ruined Beast pouch was hidden in the energy-shielded lining inside the suit’s breastplate.

After viewing the exploration map of the Chenhui Mine, he was confident in using the theoretical framework he had validated in the abandoned mine pit to calculate the magnetic line network model of the Chenhui Mine.

Others relied on luck to find mining source stones; he held a strategy in his hand.

He would have ample time to accurately probe each magnetic node, and according to the maps, the probability of finding mining source stones was significant.

But how to take them out still required careful planning.

...

At three-thirty in the morning, Ren Zhong and others almost simultaneously began the exam, leisurely answering questions intermittently.

He devoted much thought to devising strategical plans.

At five-thirty in the morning, Ren Zhong clicked to submit his answers.

The score was instantly released.

points.

Very good, everything was under control.

Five seconds later, Lin Wang’s communication request sounded in the hibernation space.

Connected.

"Ren Zhong, you are indeed smart; well done. My score is 888, an auspicious number. You’re only 30 points behind me, very impressive. Besides you and me, no one else has finished. Let’s hope everyone performs well. If we are assigned to the lower level mines, the team’s daily income could exceed 150,000. However, the lower level mines are mainly populated by Level Four Ruined Beasts, which might be challenging for you. Nevertheless, you don’t need to leave the excavator to fight; just pinpoint the Ruined Beasts’ locations and report to us. This time, you’re not a combatant but an intelligence officer. I will consider your rewards separately."

"Okay, Captain."

"Hmm."

Lin Wang hung up the communication.

Ren Zhong smirked slightly.

888?

Hehe, I wish you wealth and prosperity.

Pitiful mortal.

You know nothing of the Ninth Rank learning god’s strength.

At six in the morning, everyone’s scores were out.

Bei Lihui: 812.

Si Mawan: 831.

Pan Fenglian: 855.

Song Qianlian: 701.

Total average score of 824.17, excellent, leading slightly over third place, ranking second among the eight professional teams, and no one in the team scored below 700 points.

Lin Wang got what he wanted, sharing the bottommost layer of the entire mine with the top-ranked professional team, each taking responsibility for half.

Ren Zhong exhaled deeply.

He had deliberately let go significantly, executing precise score control.

Song Qianlian, this useless, Lin Wang said to score at least 700, and he just barely scraped through, adding only one more point, causing the team’s total average score to not be very high.

Just a slight miss, they would have been dragged down drastically by Song Qianlian, this armored soldier with muscles for brains.

Luckily, luck was on his side.

Unfortunately, he didn’t know the average score of Lin Wang’s team last time.

Thinking about it, with Xing Ming’s intelligence, he was probably only on par with Bei Lihui, surely ending up in third and unable to go to the bottom layer.

Hmm, it was I who uplifted Lin Wang.

My addition invisibly twisted time and space, dramatically changing the course of history.

Ren Zhong also awoke with a start.

The Blade Mantis extinction team incident was still vivid in his memory.

The upcoming excavation indeed required caution and could not indulge in recklessness just because last time Lin Wang’s team crashed on the way back, thinking no one died during excavation meant having the Immortal Golden Body granted by the force of the timeline; one shouldn’t act carelessly.

...

The butterfly flying back and forth in the time crevice flapped its wings quietly again.

This time, it would stir strong winds and ignite a spreading field fire with this wind.

[Recommendation Ticket Channel, tonight I’ll push hard to try to come up with the third Chapter, thanks to the persistent Alliance Hierarch!]
