Chapter 60: Chapter 43 Sid Meier’s Armored Insights

Chen Hanyu is not an ordinary First Level Demolition Master.

Ren Zhong had known this for a long time.

The team had taken down Third Level Ruined Beasts more than once.

But almost every time, Chen Hanyu managed to extract the Crystal Chip beyond her level.

If it only happened occasionally, it could be attributed to luck.

But when it happens every time, it’s not that simple.

Obviously, Chen Hanyu possesses extremely solid skills, so much so that her level surpasses the limits of First Level dismantling gloves.

The success of Zheng Tian’s team in Starfire Town was not only due to Zheng Tian as the brain; Chen Hanyu was the hidden soul of the team.

Killing the same creatures, yet earning more than others.

Who wouldn’t love such a team?

Just in over three hours of her explanation, Ren Zhong established in his mind a complete framework of the Demolition Master profession.

This was partly due to his strong learning ability and the preliminary overview of the Ruined Beasts database he had memorized, and partly because he had a detailed explanation to sort out his memory, offered by Chen Hanyu.

The teacher was great at teaching, and the student overly capable of learning, creating a knowledge system quickly.

Wonderful times always disappear in the blink of an eye. Unwittingly, it was already nine-thirty at night; the other team members had gone ahead to the central sleeping pods to secure spots. Chen Hanyu stood up and said, "Mr. Ren, it’s getting late. Let’s go to sleep."

Ren Zhong nodded, "Alright. Thanks for today. I learned a lot."

"Mr. Ren is too kind. You’re really good at learning. In terms of the number of Ruined Beasts you’ve come to understand, you’ve surpassed me. However, you used to only see the surface, while I study the specifics of the few Ruined Beasts I can see up close. I am also continuing to enrich my knowledge, though in terms of memory, I’m not as good as you. Demolition is a craftsman’s skill, requiring constant accumulation of experience and knowledge, then training of hands, and upgrading is merely a matter of time. At this rate, surpassing me is only a matter of time for you. Not surprising for a Citizen."

Ren Zhong: "Hehe."

While walking outside, Chen Hanyu once again asked, "Mr. Ren, I really want to know, when are you leaving?"

Ren Zhong thought for a moment, and countered, "What if I say I’m not planning to leave?"

"Huh?"

Chen Hanyu was briefly taken aback, quite surprised.

Immediately afterward, she fell silent.

Under the moonlight, a touch of emotion seemed to flash in her cool face, mixed with some hesitations of words unspoken.

Ultimately, she said nothing.

...

Inside the hibernation space.

Since today was the seventh day, having surpassed the time point of Ren Zhong’s previous death, the information about stocks he had remembered was already outdated, and he hadn’t yet saved up to 1000 points.

But he wasn’t in a hurry, maintaining a calm mindset, and continued wandering through the sea of stocks, discovering more Demon Stocks and memorizing them as resource reserves.

He divided tonight’s eight hours into three parts.

Half an hour for sweeping the stock market to gather Demon Stocks.

Six hours spent on the Demolition Master entry-level tutorial within the professional teaching system, corresponding with what Chen Hanyu taught.

The remaining hour and a half, he used to observe and learn open learning videos in the field of Mechanical Warriors on the internet.

On the software Daily Headlines, there is a video section.

It contains an ocean of videos uploaded privately.

In the video section, there is a separate category for Mechanical Warriors.

It includes many videos that others have posted, which discuss insights or combat records, all available for free to learn combat techniques.

These techniques might not be correct; after all, there is no shortage of bad seeds in the world that lead people astray intentionally.

Some might just be plain foolish, thinking they know everything, when in reality they’re eager to show off their half-baked knowledge.

But Ren Zhong has his ability to judge.

He intends to draw upon the strengths of each, only picking what suits him through exploration.

He is confident in his judgment ability.

Time unknowingly reached 6 AM, and Ren Zhong woke up punctually.

He checked the wealth balance in his Wrist Watch, which increased by 1 point, now at 13.12.

He seemed to hear jingle sounds coming from his wallet.

Oh, I’m so poor.

Yesterday, spent 40 points buying a car, 10 points on building materials, and paid 3 points as a service reward to the spirited youth, which was a bit much.

Now he has a house, a car, an armor, and a team. Logically, he’s living a moderately well-off life that countless people in Starfire Town dream of, not considered poor.

Initially, that was also his thought, even considering whether to take a break and spend some time creating a scaled-down Turing machine to verify whether he was actually living in a virtual world.

But he changed his mind now.

Firstly, he couldn’t produce an infinitely long tape; no matter how he calculates, it’s only superficial.

Secondly, he rekindled his desire for money.

In the last hour and a half within the hibernation space, he quickly browsed through a lot of free Mechanical Warrior combat recordings and instructional explanations.

As it turns out, the most expensive things in the world are always the free goods.

Whether in the 21st century or now, it’s the same.

21st-century free goods cost money and time, while current free teaching costs lives.

In the video section’s Mechanical Warrior category, over 99% of the videos are junk without any nutrition.

Either low-level warriors strike gold and hurry to record and post it online to show off, or some unintelligent or ill-intentioned folks share useless stupid combos that are not only unhelpful but harmful to learn.

If new warriors hope to become self-taught geniuses with these, they often end up putting themselves into coffins at record speed.

Perhaps for the common folk, seeing these things fills them with delight and is perfect for passing time for all ages, but that’s all they’re good for, purely time killers.

Ren Zhong was extremely annoyed and turned into a professional rant master, watching while cursing.

Fortunately, in the last ten minutes, he found something valuable, an introductory explanation of a whole series of tutorials.

The tutorial was titled "Sid Meier’s Armored Insights."

Sid Meier, a Genius Mecha Warrior active a decade ago, Fourth Level.

Ordinary Fourth Level warriors are no big deal; there are several in Starfire Town’s professional teams.

But Sid Meier is different.

The most famous aspect of his lengthy battle career was his reputation as the King of Surpassing Tiers below the Fourth Level.

He frequently engaged in over-level challenges, facing Second Level Ruined Beasts when he was First Level, Third Level when he was Second Level...

The most intense was when he was Fourth Level, even crossing the insurmountable chasm of common sense, single-handedly slaying Level Five Ruined Beasts, and not just once.

The now-aged Sid Meier had, three years ago, documented his lifetime experience in "Sid Meier’s Armored Insights" and uploaded it online.

Good wine needs no bush, and after three years of precipitation, "Sid Meier’s Armored Insights" finally burst forth in its glory amidst the vast internet data stream.

Ren Zhong, seeing his First Level challenging Second Level explained in the introduction, was greatly amazed.

He also, just yesterday, consecutively slew Crystal Armored Long-Tailed Rats and Shadow Rats, but in those two battles, the rest of the team played crucial roles.

Moreover, Ren Zhong relied mainly on the Brain Reaction Index, which was elevated due to his death inheritance, a unique personal ability that others couldn’t easily emulate.

But what Sid Meier, the "indigenous resident," relied on was the deep development of armor, an ability replicable by anyone.

"There are not two identical Ruined Beasts in the world, nor two identical warriors."

"Every warrior is a unique individual."

"We must not confine limitless combat potential within the uniform cages set by standard equipment."

"Learn ’Sid Meier’s Armored Insights’! With my method, find the path most suited to you!"

"I will teach you how to tailor-make the perfect combat style for yourself and form a uniquely personal equipment and weapon matching idea, creating the sharpest combination on top of basic equipment!"

"Make you become the strongest you of your dreams!"

"You will be able to, like me, exert your capabilities to the fullest within the same realm each time."

"Human capacity has limits, but human utilization of machines can constantly advance, endlessly!"

"I will teach you how to harness your finite Biological Electric carrying power to unleash infinite potential, and then live well in this cruel world, my friends!"

At the end of the tutorial’s opening explanation, the old-faced Sid Meier said this before the camera.

Though his face was old, it shone brightly.

Ren Zhong hastily clicked the next episode, then a prompt popped up.

"I’m sorry, dear user, this tutorial is a paid one. You need a legitimate subscription to continue viewing. Subscription fee 688 Contribution Points. Subscribe?"

"Yes/No"

So expensive!

Ren Zhong was dumbfounded.

He returned to the tutorial summary page, seeing a lot of data again.

"Top online paid tutorial sales of the month, sales this month 142,354 copies, total sales 1,965,417 copies."

Hiss!

This income generation capability is terrifying.

He then clicked into the comment section.

A flood of positive comments, excellent reputation.

Time up, Ren Zhong silently woke up on time.

Oh, I’m really so poor.

"Ren, what’s the plan for today? Are you going to act with us?"

Zheng Tian, waking up almost simultaneously with him, asked as she leaned over.

Ren Zhong sprang up abruptly, decisively.

"Of course!"
