Resurrection Empire

Chapter 626 - 235: The Limitless Potential of the Savage, Seizing the Initiative_3

The Tanggu Group is very likely conducting experiments on Ruined Beast breeding and artificial cultivation.

In the previous timeline, when Ren Zhong started carrying out the artificial enhancement and transformation of Ruined Beasts in the abandoned mine pit, the Tanggu Group showed great interest in his project as well.

The experts who initially came to Starfire Town for teaching also, with Ren Zhong’s permission, took all the relevant materials from Wang Zhaofu before leaving.

Each of these points showcases the struggle filled with selfish ambitions between these two enterprises.

With selfish ambitions, there could be shakiness; Ren Zhong has successfully dug two loopholes in the iron wall of the system.

He has also seen through the "Net."

Under the scrutiny of the "Net," it is indeed impossible for him to sustain a perfect disguise indefinitely, unless he truly integrates into the times and becomes the next Yang Bingzhong.

As long as he wishes to change the world, if he acts a little too recklessly, he is bound to emit a dangerous aura to the current system of Source Star.

This is unavoidable.

However, he will make those potential Protection Umbrellas unconsciously immersed in the bliss of having him, making these people reluctant to lose him.

At that point, he will be just one step away from great success.

...

Night passed. On the 92nd day in the morning, Ren Zhong appeared early at the Qi Mountain Tribe.

At this time, the residents of the tribe were busily packing, preparing to leave the homeland where they had lived for ten years, to move to their new home.

In Shi Xuan’s house, Shi Lin was methodically packing various valuables.

Shi Xuan, on the other hand, was sitting in the living room drinking tea with Ren Zhong.

Feeling somewhat confused, Shi Xuan asked, "Weren’t we supposed to depart at noon yesterday? Why are we leaving two hours earlier? This seems a bit rushed."

Ren Zhong did not explain immediately but asked, "How often do the leaders of your tribes communicate with each other on average? Do you gather together to exchange ideas in the hibernation space?"

Shi Xuan shook his head, "The tribes are illegal organizations. Normally, the wrist watches we use are mostly temporary ones acquired from the black market. We try to avoid leaving traces on the internet and certainly do not contact in groups."

Ren Zhong nodded, "I see. Wang Zhaofu will come over soon, and I need to announce a decision to you all."

Ten minutes later, Wang Zhaofu and Shi Xuan widened their eyes in shock as they stared at Ren Zhong.

Their heads were buzzing, only thinking they had misheard.

Ren Zhong actually said he planned to "round up" all the tribes in Liao Yuan County.

He intended to absorb all the wild tribes into Starfire Town!

Have he gone mad?

Seeing the two’s faces full of confusion, Ren Zhong smiled and said, "My Ren Group is not just eyeing this current little piece of land; I will eventually spread out. I want to infinitely expand my business territory, which naturally requires more talent reserves. As for the Pu Cha matter, you don’t have to worry."

"I will dispatch Zheng Tian’s Hunting Team... wait until the large airship outside takes off, Shi Xuan, you come with me first, and we’ll take a fast airship back to Starfire Town. By 10 a.m., I want you all to divide into eight groups and complete the tasks in one day... Of course, even though I mean well, some tribal groups will certainly refuse my invitation. That doesn’t matter, it’s fate. However many people can be brought back today, just do it. And by tomorrow, the survivors outside in Liao Yuan County will naturally come without me inviting."

Having put it this way, Wang Zhaofu and Shi Xuan immediately discerned the undertone.

It was obvious that Ren Zhong had gotten wind of some things in advance through certain channels.

Unexpected big changes are bound to happen within the Liao Yuan County soon.

The two no longer questioned and began to ponder how to proceed.

Ren Zhong added, "Are you familiar with the tribes in the valley leading from Starfire Town to the Chenhui Mine District?"

Shi Xuan: "Quite familiar. The leader of that tribe is a straightforward woman, very easygoing."

Wang Zhaofu: "An excellent Fourth Level Blast Master, with a good figure."

Ren Zhong: "The gender and figure are not important. What’s important is that you must bring back the people from that tribe today. I have high regard for their combat capabilities maintained in harsh living conditions."

Both nodded, "Understood!"

"Old Wang, quickly contact the transportation company—we need substantial transport capacity."

Wang Zhaofu: "Okay!"

Shi Xuan asked again, "What about the tribes that refuse the invitation?"

"Give them a heads-up. Also, install surveillance in each tribe to record the events of the night and transmit it to me. By tomorrow, those who are still alive won’t refuse me anymore."

"Understood."

Having arranged everything, Ren Zhong felt a weight lifted from his heart.

He subconsciously grinned.

This time, he managed to take action a step ahead of the Mengdu Group.

I don’t know your Mengdu Group’s plan.

I was the one who first extended sincerity to all the tribal groups.

All of this is just an unfortunate coincidence, with you being the ones actively competing with me for people.

The fault is not mine.

Ren Zhong was also curious about what actions the Mengdu Group would take this time.

In the previous timeline, the Mengdu Group undoubtedly began hunting the wild tribes starting today.

The first target chosen was the Qi Mountain Tribe, arriving in bright daylight with much fanfare.

After they found the Qi Mountain empty, the Mengdu Group had to shift focus to those smaller tribes, originally tacitly allowed to exist by the Association, by conducting covert night operations.

As for why Ren Zhong didn’t act yesterday?

The reason is simple: without feeling the threat from the Mengdu Group, some tribes will inevitably refuse his invitation to move to the overpopulated Starfire Town, which would inevitably cull a large number of wild tribes next year due to the Pu Cha event.

Ren Zhong couldn’t forcibly snatch people—that would be too deliberate and would disrupt the unity in the town, and also expose his true intentions to the Mengdu Group.

Thus, a few tribes are bound to suffer.

Only after catching the Mengdu Group’s illicit acts will things go more smoothly.

This is the objective logic behind the situation, unchangeable.

Of course, recruiting people tomorrow still stands against the Mengdu Group, but Ren Zhong’s stance on the matter holds more moral ground.

At least he stands firm on the "moral" high ground.

It is you who are grabbing my private property, not I who am grabbing yours.
